Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection 

1. Jesus gave Himself to us on the cross, He gives Himself to us in the Eucharist. How great was the act of love, God gave to this world when He gave Himself and died on the cross, He gives Himself to us this day in the Holy Eucharist.

2. Jesus died on the cross, Jesus rose on the third day. Jesus shows us there is life after death.

3. The greatest commandment is that we love God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being, and to love our neighbor as ourselves. This is a commandment. If we want to go to heaven we are to obey the Commandments of God, be obedient to the Father and live by His will.

4. God is all powerful. The devil tries to get souls for hell. He is a roaring lion looking for souls to devour, The devil tries to deceive them, tempts them, lies to them, tells them they can disobey God, and do what they want.

5. The greatest act we can do on this earth is loving God. The reason for our existence is to love God. In the sacrament of His greatest love, He gives us Himself in the Eucharist.

6. Oh God, I love You so much, Come to me now and possess my soul. Dear God, I want to make a spiritual communion, now, and receive You in my heart. I love You so much, fill me God, I adore You.

7. Response to God's love, God gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him. We are to grow more and more in this loving union with our God. He gives Himself to us in the Eucharist so we can be more and more in His image and likeness and be greater one in Him.

8. Our all-consuming Passion should be to love God ever more. God longs for our love. When we go to the Eucharist, or make a spiritual communion our desire should be to love God ever more deeply.

9. Jesus gives Himself to us: Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity in the Eucharist. Such an act of love that Jesus remains with us truly present in the Eucharist this day.

10. Mary is the singular vessel. We go to Mary and she takes us to Jesus' Sacred Heart. Mary is the daughter of the heavenly Father, Mary is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. God wants our love. God gives us the seven sacraments and the priest and the Church. Thank You our beloved God!! Thank You, God.

Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be open to you, through the powerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary we pray. Dear Father in the name of Jesus, in the Holy Spirit we pray to You.

 

The Ascension

1. Jesus took His Apostles out near Bethany, and He raised His arms and ascended into heaven and a cloud took Him out of sight.

2. Jesus is alive. Jesus dwells in our graced, baptized soul. How am I showing Jesus, who dwells in me, to others in the world today? Do people see the love of Jesus in our actions, do people see God's reflection in my ways? Do I treat others as God would want them to be treated, in love and respect, and kindness?

3. From Pope John Paul II

"O, Immaculate Heart! Help us to overcome the threat of evil, which so easily takes root in the hearts of men today and, with the incommensurable effects, already weighs upon our contemporary existence and seems to close the way toward the future."

. Pope John-Paul II, Prayers and Devotions, edited by Bishop Peter Canisuis Johannes van Lierde, O.S.A., Viking, pp. 357-358.

4. "Free us from hunger and war! From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, free us! From the sin against the life of man at its dawning, free us! From the hatred and debasement of the children of God, free us! From every kind of injustice, national and international, free us! From the ease treading down God's commandments, free us! From sins against the Holy Spirit, free us! Free us."

 Pope John-Paul II, Prayers and Devotions, edited by Bishop Peter Canisuis Johannes van Lierde, O.S.A., Viking, pp. 357-358.

7. Jesus: May 18, 1997 "I love you, I love you, I love you.​​My dear special soldiers: I am giving you a great grace at this moment. You must get rid of any feelings of division in your heart and put your burdens at the foot of My cross. It is through My might that so much will be accomplished in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. I am teaching you to surrender, to let go and to be great lovers. I am asking you to strive to be saints. You are My chosen ones. It is from your face filled with light that many will know Me alive in your heart."

8. God calls us to go out and to spread the Good News to do His work as He calls us.​We are to respond and be what God wants us to be.

9. Dear God the Holy Spirit help us to be a light in everything we do.

Dear God increase in us the virtues of faith, hope and love, so we can be reflections of all You want us to be and instruments before others in the world.

10. Come to me Lord and possess my soul, Come into my heart and permeate my soul.

 

The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the Virgin Mary

1. Acts 2:1-4

When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

2. Come, Holy Spirit, almighty Sanctifier, God of love, who filled the Virgin Mary with grace, who wonderfully changed the hearts of the apostles, who endowed all Your martyrs with miraculous courage, come and sanctify us. Enlighten our minds, strengthen our wills, purify our consciences, rectify our judgment, set our hearts on fire, and preserve us from the misfortunes of resisting Your inspirations. Amen.

3. Jesus: My beloved ones, I fill you with the love of My Sacred Heart. Do not be afraid, come to My Heart and be strengthened. I love you.

4. Sing: Be Not Afraid

5. Sing: Come Holy Ghost

6. Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord

 

7. Act:1:5  "John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit."

8. The apostles were so filled with fear after the Ascension that they locked themselves in the Upper Room, when the Holy Spirit came a gigantic wind came upon them, there appeared over their heads, parted tongues of fire. And they began to speak in foreign tongues, as the Spirit prompted them to speak. They were transformed from fear to fearlessness and they went out to preach the gospel and people understood.

9. Holy Spirit, descend upon us, transform our hearts so that we are more and more transformed into the image and likeness of Jesus. Help us to be transformed from fear to fearlessness to spread the Good News. Jesus died, and Jesus rose from the dead. Jesus is with us this day. Let our hearts be filled with the fire of God's Love.

10. Come, Holy Spirit, come and descend upon us. Let the Spirit move within us to lead us more and more to be the children the Father created us to be.

The Assumption of Mary Into Heaven

1. Mary was taken body and soul into Heaven.

2. Think of her joy. Mary is our Mother that walks by our side, this very day,
    and guards us.

3. Mary is the Spiritual Mother.

4. Mary is the Singular Vessel of Devotion.

5. It is through Mary's most pure heart that we will be led to such intimacy with Jesus. The more we unite with Mary and her heart, the more the Holy Spirit can transform us into the image and likeness of Jesus. Jesus leads us to the Father.

6. The Trinity loves us abundantly. There are Three Persons in one God: the Spirit loves us so much; the Father loves us so much. God the Father gave His only begotten Son, so that we may be saved; Jesus gave His life for us.

7. Mary press us so tenderly to your Heart. Help us to grow more and more in our union with you, so that we can be forever closer and closer to the Heart of Jesus. Holy Spirit descend upon us and transform us more and more into the image of Jesus.

8. Jesus, lead us ever closer to the Father.

9. Song. See the Eyes that Look at Mary

10. Song. Immaculate Mary

 

 

The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth

1. See the big picture: this is God's world; our every breath and every heartbeat depend upon Him.

2. Make God Number One in your life, so you can be ever joined closer and closer to the Trinity and Mary.

3. There appeared in the sky, a woman clothed as the sun; the moon was under her feet, and there were twelve stars about her head.

4. Mary reigns in the courts of Heaven, with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

5. Song: Hail Holy Queen

6. God, how immense is Your Power and Your Might! You care about the greatest details in our life, the very hairs of our head are numbered. Jesus knows the ways of our heart and knows how we feel, far better than we know about ourselves. If we realize the immenseness of God and His Power, we realize how fortunate we are that God loves us, as He loves us.

7. God wants intimate union with us. God wants us in Heaven, someday, with Him. In heaven we will be united with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. And our union in Heaven depends upon, the union, we have with God on earth. Please draw us ever closer to your Heart, Jesus, through your Mother's most loving heart. Holy Spirit descend on us abundantly and fill us with the fire of Your love.

8. Envision the greatness of Heaven. As I gaze at the lights that I see here, there are no words to express thinking about the light of heaven. And there are no words that we can use that can sufficiently express how Heaven is. It is only in drawing closer and closer to Jesus, that we realize more and more, a little bit of how wonderful heaven is. The Eucharist is such a gift. Jesus wants to be so close to each one of us.

9. We thirst after His grace, the more we are drawn closer to Him. It is a gift of His grace to deeply love Him. It is this life that our souls crave and long for. Nothing on this earth compares to this life. Jesus loved us so much that He was born a man; that He suffered and died and gave His very flesh and His very blood. Think of giving your own flesh and your own blood for someone. He gave Himself for each one of us, and would do that this very day, so that we may have life eternal someday. God gave us a sharing in His life through baptism. Jesus remains with us in the Eucharist and longs and waits and thirsts for us to come.
