Mysteries of Light for Children

  

  

Baptism of Jesus

1.    These are mysteries of light.

2.   Matthew 3: 13-15       

Then Jesus appeared: he came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John. John tried to dissuade him, with the words, ‘It is I who need baptism from you, and yet you come to me!’ But Jesus replied, ‘Leave it like this for the time being; it is fitting that we should, in this way, do all that uprightness demands.’ Then John gave in to him.

3.  Jesus speaks:
        Oh children your Father loves you so much.

4.  Jesus speaks: 
        Oh children God the Father is with you —

     John 3: 17 

       For God sent his Son into the world 
       not to judge the world,
       but so that through him
          the world might be saved.

5.  Jesus speaks: 
        God the Father loves you so very much.

6.  John 3: 17 

       For God sent his Son into the world 
       not to judge the world,
       but so that through him
          the world might be saved.

7.   Luke 3: 4-6

      as it is written in the book of the sayings of Isaiah the prophet:

 A voice of one that cries in the desert:
 Prepare a way for the Lord,
 make his paths straight!
 Let every valley be filled in,
 every mountain and hill be levelled,
 winding ways be straightened
 and rough roads made smooth,
 and all humanity
    will see the salvation of God.

8.   Jesus is the Light of the World. 

9.   Isaiah 40: 3-5

            A voice cries, ‘Prepare in the desert 
        a way for Yahweh.
        Make a straight highway for our God
        across the wastelands.
        Let every valley be filled in,
        every mountain and hill be levelled,
        every cliff become a plateau,
        every escarpment a plain;
        then the glory of Yahweh will be revealed
        and all humanity will see it together,
        for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.’ 

10.  Isaiah 30: 19

            Yes, people of Zion living in Jerusalem,
         you will weep no more.
         He will be gracious to you
            when your cry for help rings out;
         as soon as he hears it,
             he will answer you.

      

   

   

   

   

Marriage at Cana

1.   Jesus performed many miracles when
         He was on earth.

2.   Mary told Jesus about the wine.

3.   Jesus performed a miracle, He turned
         water into wine. 

4.   Jesus is with us today. He gives us
          Himself in the Holy Eucharist. 

5.   We receive a sharing in His life
          through baptism. 

6.   There are so many things we do everyday,
           Jesus wants us to take time to be alone
           with Him — He loves us so much —
            He wants us to give Him our love.

7.    Luke 7: 18-23

The disciples of John gave him all this news, and John, summoning two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or are we to expect someone else?’ When the men reached Jesus they said, ‘John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, "Are you the one who is to come or are we to expect someone else?" ’ At that very time he cured many people of diseases and afflictions and of evil spirits, and gave the gift of sight to many who were blind. Then he gave the messengers their answer, ‘Go back and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind see again, the lame walk, those suffering from virulent skin–diseases are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, the good news is proclaimed to the poor; and blessed is anyone who does not find me a cause of falling.’

8.   Jesus cured the sick, Jesus gave sight
         to the blind.

9.   Today Jesus is with us. He is truly present in the 
          Eucharist. He is no less present than when He
          walked the earth.

10.  Jesus wants us to read the Scripture
          and read about His life and read
          about the miracles He performed
          and think about them.

  

  

  

  

Kingdom of God

1.  Matthew 9: 35----10: 1, 5a, 6-8

 Jesus made a tour through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing all kinds of disease and all kinds of illness.
    And when he saw the crowds he felt sorry for them because they were harassed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers to his harvest.’

He summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to drive them out and to cure all kinds of disease and all kinds of illness. These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them as follows:  go instead to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. And as you go, proclaim that the kingdom of Heaven is close at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those suffering from virulent skin–diseases, drive out devils. You received without charge, give without charge.

2.   I love the feast of Christ the King, it
         is on a Sunday in late November.

3.   We can honor Jesus, our beloved King, in a
         special way that day.

4.   The reading at Mass from the Scriptures help to
         feed us.

5.   We should pray for light to understand the Scripture and
           pray to have a deep love for God's Word. 

6.   When we are troubled about what to do in our
           lives it may help us to read the scriptures.

7.   We need to study them and make reading them an
           important part of our daily life.

8.    Jesus tells us about Himself in the Scriptures —
           He tells us about His love for us and the
           Love of the Father.

9.    The Holy Spirit can fill our hearts with
           love for God and all men, we must
           pray to the Holy Spirit for knowledge,
           for light and to love with a heart on
           fire for God and our brothers.

10.   Jesus is the Light of the World.

   

  

  

  

Transfiguration

1.    Daniel 7: 9-10, 13-14

            While I was watching, 
        thrones were set in place
        and one most venerable took his seat.
        His robe was white as snow,
        the hair of his head as pure as wool.
        His throne was a blaze of flames,
        its wheels were a burning fire.
        A stream of fire poured out,
        issuing from his presence.
        A thousand thousand waited on him,
        ten thousand times ten thousand
           stood before him.
        The court was in session
        and the books lay open.

        I was gazing into the visions of the night,
       when I saw,
           coming on the clouds of heaven,
       as it were a son of man.
       He came to the One most venerable
       and was led into his presence.
       On him was conferred rule,
       honour and kingship,
       and all peoples, nations and languages
           became his servants.
       His rule is an everlasting rule
       which will never pass away,
       and his kingship will never come to an end.

2.    Psalm 97: 1-2, 5-6, 9 

            Yahweh is king! Let earth rejoice, 
        the many isles be glad!
        Cloud, black cloud enfolds him,
        saving justice and judgement the foundations of his throne.

         The mountains melt like wax,
        before the Lord of all the earth.
        The heavens proclaim his saving justice,
        all nations see his glory.

         For you are Yahweh,
        Most High over all the earth,
        far transcending all gods.

3.   2 Peter 1: 16-19          

When we told you about the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not slavishly repeating cleverly invented myths; no, we had seen his majesty with our own eyes. He was honoured and glorified by God the Father, when a voice came to him from the transcendent Glory, This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour.  We ourselves heard this voice from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

So we have confirmation of the words of the prophets; and you will be right to pay attention to it as to a lamp for lighting a way through the dark, until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds.

4.    Matthew 17: 5

           ...‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’

5.   Mark 9: 2-10            

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, ‘Rabbi,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.

As they were coming down from the mountain he warned them to tell no one what they had seen, until after the Son of man had risen from the dead. They observed the warning faithfully, though among themselves they discussed what ‘rising from the dead’ could mean.

6.    God is all powerful.

7.    God loves us so very much, He sent His only
            begotten Son.

8.    Today God gives us Himself in the Eucharist. 

9.    Today God has asked us to pray for our priests,
            the Church and the world.

10.  God is light and in Him there is no
       darkness. God wants the children
       to be children of the light. God
       wants us to be united in love.
       God wants us to pray to Him and
       ask for help. God wants
       us to turn our lives over to Him.
       Jesus is the light of the world.

The Last Supper

1.   Oh God I long to receive You 
       in the Holy Eucharist.
       I long to taste Your goodness.
       Oh God we love the Church so much.
       Oh God we thank You for the priest.
       We love the priests so much.

2.    

  

3.    Sometimes we are tired and we go a long
       time without even praying. God wants
       us to pray to Him. Jesus wants us to 
       come and adore Him before the Blessed
       Sacrament at Church. Jesus pours
       out His grace to us.

4.    Jesus wants us to receive Him in the
       Holy Eucharist — He gives us the
       priests and the Church.

5.    Matthew 18: 1-5            

At this time the disciples came to Jesus and said, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ So he called a little child to him whom he set among them. Then he said, ‘In truth I tell you, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. And so, the one who makes himself as little as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven.

‘Anyone who welcomes one little child like this in my name welcomes me.

6.   John 6: 48-51

 I am the bread of life.
 Your fathers ate manna in the desert
 and they are dead;
 but this is the bread
    which comes down from heaven,
 so that a person may eat it and not die.
 I am the living bread
    which has come down from heaven.
 Anyone who eats this bread 
    will live for ever;
 and the bread that I shall give
 is my flesh, for the life of the world.’

8.    Excerpt from God's Blue Book December 27, 1993 - 4:00a.m.

Jesus speaks:  You enter My church, you walk My aisle. Your bridegroom awaits you in Communion. I am the bridegroom of your hearts. I come with such love to enter your soul. I am He Who walks with you to be united in Communion. I am Jesus. I am your true Love. I wait for you, My child. Please clean yourself up for My arrival! Think of My coming the day before and eagerly await our union. This is the greatest event of your life, union with God. Anticipate it with such eagerness, as the wedding of our hearts. I await you, little ones. I am God. What could this world ever give you that can be likened to God's entering your soul?

9.   Excerpt from God's Blue Book, April 13, 1994

       Words of Jesus. Read before the Tabernacle.

Jesus speaks:  How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the Cross.

10.  Excerpt from God's Blue Book February 23, 1994 5:30 a.m.

Jesus speaks:  I am the light of the world. A city on a hill will shine to the world. You at the Center will be this city when you are filled to the brim with the love of Jesus. What power, what might, to have each person a personal spouse of Jesus Christ! This is the light to the darkened world. The love of Jesus radiates from the very being of those who love Him. What light when all together are lifted by His love abounding deep within their breasts!
