A message from Jesus!
God surrounds us in beauty.
For the beauty of the earth.
God walks with us whence we go.
He gives us the beauty that surrounds us.
It is so precious that there are open beautiful
skies, this is a constant reminder of the
infinity of God.
We are not closed in.
We can see the beauty of the ocean, the waters.
We do not even know the beauty of the world
under the waters, it is another world down there.
The beauty is ineffable.
I can see infinite beauty that surrounds me,
always, God gives me such beauty to behold.
God is Mighty. The ultimate mystery of love.
The heavens and the place He has planned for
us beyond my comprehension.
God created an awesome, orderly world and
Adam and Eve sinned, they disobeyed God
who created them and gave them all these gifts.
Oh God that I can see beyond with the eyes
of my soul, Your gifts given to me now, here,
they surround me God.
You care for me all day, every day, I love You
so much, my God.
The mystery of Your love is real.
The gift of the Church, Your love for us,
the body of Christ.
My life is surrounded by Your love for me.
The Eucharist is the precious gift of
Yourself given to me.
Oh God I love You so!!
I love the priest, Persona Christi, I love, I
love others in my life such gifts given to me.
Love is beyond words, love has an infinity
that is beyond, love is real.
God is love!! He is the source,
He gives love to me abundantly.
Love is giving and receiving.
Will I open myself, as a little innocent pure
child to receive such a gift beyond earthly
measure?
Will I trust God and give myself to Him?
Will I trust God?
Will I open myself to God?
Will I ponder the truth, absolute truth, of
the infinity of God and how He loves us?
I can trust God completely, all the time, in
every moment of my life and He will never
steer me wrong.
The Holy Spirit is there to enlighten our
hearts to the mystery of God’s endless,
eternal, Divine love for us.
Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist, Body,
Blood, Soul and Divinity.
My beloved Father loves me so and this is
truth.
Oh God You are awesome indeed - You
give me such gifts.
Beauty and people of love in my life.
I am in awe. It is ineffable.
When I am weary sometimes because of
sadness, I can look outside and see Your
beauty God, Your gifts given to me - the
lighted day, the stars in the darkness, a
beautiful moon, the endlessness of this.
In Geometry I loved the circle it just kept
going.
The gifts God gives us today just keeps
going.
It’s beyond, God is a mystery and He
surrounds me in beauty that is infinite.
I see it every day, all day, the beauty of
the earth, the sky, the waters, the birds,
the lighted day, life in the plants -
I see and know the love He gives me in
others…
It is an awesome God indeed…
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus I trust in Thee.
Open my heart and mind so I can let all
You want to give me in.
Dear God, please come and dwell in me.
I love You with all my heart and want to
be one in Thee.
Amen.
Alleluia.
This is reality!!
This is truth!!
This is love.
Thank You, God!!!

R. Trust is a big thing when we need the
consistency of a person to be able to rely
on them.
Can I trust them, what do they believe?
I know I can completely trust Jesus.
I can and should completely let go to Him,
His rules, His ways, His precepts.
I can go to the Holy Spirit for discernment,
to the Church, but I establish a relationship
with God to know, love and serve Him.
God is Absolutely Just.
I want to know Him.
In Baptism our knowing and loving
capacity is elevated.
We partake in God’s loving activity.
I ask the Holy Spirit to infuse into my intellect:
wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
And ask the Holy Spirit to counsel me, that
gift given to me directly from the Holy Spirit.
Fill me Holy Spirit with Your gifts, I thirst to
know God’s will and live in love, in Him.
Please counsel me, Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Dear God give me the grace I need most.
Amen.

Matthew 22: 36-40
'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'
Dear Holy Spirit,
strengthen our will and
move like a Divine breath in our soul, to
be docile sons and daughters of our
Heavenly Father. Amen.
Alleluia.

Glorious Mysteries
The Resurrection
1. Luke 24: 1-12On the first day of the week, at the first sign of dawn, they went to the tomb with the spices they had prepared. They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb, but on entering they could not find the body of the Lord Jesus. As they stood there puzzled about this, two men in brilliant clothes suddenly appeared at their side. Terrified, the women bowed their heads to the ground. But the two said to them, ‘Why look among the dead for someone who is alive? He is not here; he has risen. Remember what he told you when he was still in Galilee: that the Son of man was destined to be handed over into the power of sinful men and be crucified, and rise again on the third day.’ And they remembered his words.
And they returned from the tomb and told all this to the Eleven and to all the others. The women were Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James. And the other women with them also told the apostles, but this story of theirs seemed pure nonsense, and they did not believe them.
Peter, however, went off to the tomb, running. He bent down and looked in and saw the linen cloths but nothing else; he then went back home, amazed at what had happened.
2. Jesus came forth from the tomb as He foretold.

As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.
2. The Church,
the world, the individual
Christian is in the state of becoming like
Jesus.
3. Christ went to prepare a place for us.
4. Even though we are saddened by the
world’s evil, we are so much happier
because of its goodness.
5. This is where we are now, in the Father’s
Plan.
6. We are here preparing for our eternal life.
7. God intends us to work for the building
of the Kingdom of God while we are
here on earth.

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!
Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.
