First Friday at Noon

Before the Tabernacle

Sorrowful Mysteries

Agony in the Garden

1. Jesus: I give to you the strength to carry all the trials which you are given. Let go and release yourself totally into My hands, for I am by your side and forever within you. Let go! I am Jesus Christ, Son of God. I am Mighty! I have all the power. I have all the power. Come to Me and surrender. Place yourself totally in My hands, for this is My work and I will accomplish this work through you if you release yourself and respond always in love. For I am the Almighty God. I am all powerful, worthy of all honor, glory and praise. My beloved, you are in the Presence of the Almighty God. Bend low and kiss the earth for I am truly the same Jesus Christ that hung on the cross, the same Jesus Christ that walked the earth. I am in this room ever attentive to all your needs. Take all of the tauntings in your heart, the pressure in your mind that Satan has created and let go and focus totally on Me. Place yourself in My hands. I am Jesus, Son of the living God, with you truly present in this room. 

2. Jesus: How you turn to Me will affect the lives of so many souls this day. Harken to My call. I am Jesus and I ask you to pray to the Spirit to fill you with the fearlessness of the Apostles, to move steadfastly ahead, to operate always in love but in firmness, for I am using you to spread this message to the world. 

3. Jesus: Be with Me in the Garden. See as I kneel there alone. You are with Me at this moment and your mind is filled with many things. I am the Almighty God. I have all the power. You come My child, you are weak. You do not realize that you must surrender and give yourself totally to Me for I am working in you, through you and with you and you will accomplish many things through the grace that I am giving to you. Let go to Me. Let Me operate your life. Surrender, let go to Me. I love you.

4. Jesus: The pressing down that you feel in your mind many times when you are burdened with problems, is an agony. Release and let go. Many torments you will experience each day. These are crosses I am allowing you to suffer to come to My Heart. Release yourself. Come and dwell in the Heart of My Mother and dwell deeply in My Heart. 

5. Jesus: No problem is too big for the Might of God! 

6. Jesus: Satan aims to trip you up and create division in your families and in your lives in communities, in people who need to work together. I am Jesus. You must focus totally on Me. Come and dwell in My Heart. Come and live in My Heart. Minute by minute, second by second, know I am with you. Make Spiritual Communions all through the day. Release and respond always with love. 

7. Jesus: I saw all that I would suffer, all the persecution, the beatings, the spittings, but My deepest agonies were not the agonies that I experienced to the outside of My body, but the pain within; the pain in the Garden and continued until My death! 

8. Jesus: Do you feel pressed on? Do you know what it is to suffer; to suffer without release? A continuous suffering of immense, intense pain and the relief came in My death. 

9. Jesus: I give to you many crosses to carry and you experience this release at certain times. The intensity of My pain was so intense, so penetrating, it did not stop. It continued and continued until I gave My last breath! 

10. Jesus: Do you know pain? Do you know mental torture? My dear ones, you do not know the agonies that I suffered. Knowing all the sins of all men, the soul that I loved so dearly, each and every sin that they committed. You do not know the agony that I suffered, suffered so that My sweat became as great drops of blood on the ground. My dear ones, it is in the surrendering that you will feel freedom of letting go to God. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Satan aims to divide all of the workers here at this Center. No one is listening to My messages. You must hold tight for I am forever with you. I am the Almighty God. I will tend to all My work if you stay steadfastly fixed in Me. Satan wants to take you out. He attacks the leaders to discredit the place. He has focused on discrediting leaders. He wants to discredit priests and hierarchy. You must listen. Pray the prayers I gave Fr. Carter for the priests, the Church and the world and spread these prayer chapters, now, in all languages, to the world.

Jesus is Scourged at the Pillar 

1. R. And they led Him away and they had Him scourged. Who are these men that they scourged the Son of God? Jesus complied always to the Will of the Father. 

Jesus: Always in compliance to the Father's Will, always obedience My dear Ones. Live according to the Father's Will. Obey always your Superiors, follow the Church. I am Jesus. I work in the Church. I complied to the Will of the Father. They beat My body, My body covered with wounds, blood spurted in the air. My dear ones, there is peace in following the Will of the Father, always obedient. 

2. Jesus: I have given you My Church. Obey the Holy Father. My dear ones, I work in My Church. I complied to the Will of the Father all through My Passion. You too must comply to His Will. Obey the commandments, your Superiors, the rules of those over you in the Church, in good religious orders.

3. Jesus: Many are willful in their ways, and do what they want to do. I am calling you to obedience to follow the laws of the Church. I am Jesus. Spend time with Me each day. It is only in these silent moments that you will hear My voice speaking in your heart. Satan will create much division and confusion in your lives. Respond with love and obedience to the Church. 

4. Jesus: Pray the prayers I gave Fr. Carter in the prayer manual for the priests, the Church and the world. Spread these prayers.

Words of Jesus to Members of Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

   

5. Jesus: I stood at the Pillar, My hands tied, My body beaten and wounded. I did not argue back; always in compliance to His Will, always surrendering in lack of resistance. I knew always the Father's love. There was not fear or anxiousness for I knew His Will and I complied always to His Will. In deepest suffering, I complied to the Will of the Father. You will struggle much in your life. You must comply to His Will even in the deepest suffering you must comply to the Will of the Father. I was beaten and crowned with thorns, but I complied always to the Will of the Father. 

6. Jesus: Satan will create confusion and doubt in your lives. You will find steadfastness in My way when you come and spend time alone with Me. Spend your days in union with Me. Satan will press harder and harder as time is drawing neigh, My dear ones, and the work you do is so important to the work of salvation. Release yourselves and realize that second by second you must come and dwell in My Heart. 

7. Jesus: My Mother stood by and she watched, she was so weak. My dear ones, if you saw the torture at the Pillar, you too would know My love. You are being persecuted this day. Satan is pressing down with many problems at hand, in your minds. Release yourself and totally surrender to the Father's Will. I am Jesus. It is in complying to His Will that you will do the work that is necessary to help lead souls to Me. 

8.  Jesus: Do not be willful; be yielding. Give to the Father's Will. Pray to the Spirit to know His Will. The plan of the Father is unfolding. Each person has their part to play. It is only in surrender that you will accomplish the task at hand. No person needs to bump heads with another person. Come to Me and let Me fill you with the strength and the grace that you need to accomplish this task at hand. 

9. Jesus: Always love. As I was scourged at the Pillar I responded with love. Let your ways be sweet. Let your tongue be kind. Let your heart be filled with love of God. Focus on God's will.

1 Corinthians 2: 9

"What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him;"
 

Jesus: My dear ones, be humble and kind and sweet to one another. I am Jesus, your beloved. I love each person. 

10. Jesus: This is a special time. This is a special place. This is a special day. This is First Friday. This is the hour between twelve and three o'clock. My dear ones, this time is so special to Me. Let go and come to My Heart and experience the love that I want to give you. 

Song: A Song from Jesus (song to be sung after each decade.) 

 

Jesus is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

1. Jesus: Do you feel the pressure of this day? Do you know what it is to suffer so intently that the pain does not stop? My dear ones, I ask you to come to My Heart and rest securely in My Heart, for there is love and peace in the Heart of Jesus. Many graces I give to you on the First Friday of every month. Make reparation to the Heart of Jesus for all of the sinfulness and neglect and indifference in this world this day. Look at this world My dear ones, so many have gone astray and do not even think one thought of God. You must pray as you have never prayed before for many will lose their souls and be condemned to the fires of hell. Let not your hearts be haughty, let not you be filled with pride. Come with a heart that is soft and supple, sweet and kind. A heart that will unite in deepest union with the Heart of Jesus. 

2. Jesus: Worry not for the sins of your brother. Come to Me and focus on My love. Surrender and I will tend to your every need. 

3. Jesus: You are a pillar of strength in this world that is crumbling. Come to Me and I will fill you with the cement that you need to set you firmly on this ground. Many will crumble and fall by the wayside but you will remain strong and steadfast in My love. This world is undergoing tremendous sufferings. Many do not even know that their hearts have turned cold and black. I ask you My beloved ones, to come to My Heart and let Me fill your hearts with My immense love. 

4. Jesus: You see before you the crown of thorns surrounding My Heart. The prickling to My gentle Heart of love for all of those who have forgotten God, who treat Me with such indifference and hatred. My dear ones, your heart too, will be pricked by many but I am Jesus and in this suffering you are drawn closer and closer to My Heart. 

5. Jesus: Harken to Me!  Come and sit with Me on the mock throne they gave to Me. Feel the crown on your head and the spit as it settles on your face. My dear ones, hear the angry words of those I loved and gave My life for. I ask you to suffer the persecution you are suffering this day and to keep your hearts soft and supple and kind. A heart that is joined to Jesus is not proud. A heart that is joined to Jesus is filled with love and yielding, caring for others and giving.

My dear ones, come and let Me unite so close to your heart. I long and thirst to be in such union with you. To have union with the Almighty God, an espousal union between you and God, My dear ones. If you realized the immensity of My love for you, you would not fear and be in such anguish. You would come to Me and let Me minister to you in your needs. I am Jesus, ever attentive, at every second, with every breath you take, and you fret and fume and worry. Release, surrender and I will give to you all that you need. 

6. Jesus: Burning with love for Me, do you come to Me and profess your love that you scarce can breathe and tell Me of your love? I am waiting My dear ones. You worry for such needless things and the Almighty God is waiting for you to come. I am Jesus. I love you!  I love you! I love you. Come to My Heart. Let go and surrender. Do not be prideful. Do not be anxious. Come with a heart that is gentle and filled with love. 

7. Jesus: I give to you great gifts in this rosary. I am telling you My dear ones, the messages of My Heart. Meditate on the mysteries of My great love for you. I have chosen you and called you here to give you knowledge and insight into the hidden mysteries of My love. Release and let go.  Make your hearts soft and supple, kind and yielding, not prideful, but filled with genuine love for one another. I ask you to love, as I have loved you. To My death on the cross, I gave My all for love of you. I ask you to love God above everything with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being and to love one another as you love yourself. Love! Love! Love! To unite with your heart - you must be soft and supple in heart, not hard of heart.

8. Jesus: Sweetness, My dear ones. How is the tone of your voice? How are you giving My love to this world? Are you the lights that are shining in the darkness or are you anxious and worried and projecting many seeds of hatred? My dear ones, you must come to My Heart and dwell in My Heart. For Satan is pressing down on you at every moment trying to stop you. You, I have called. You, I will nourish. You, I will send as warriors into this world to give love, to be lights that shine in the dark night. Come  to Me. Come and spend time with Me and let Me fill you with My love. I am Jesus. I am giving to you great gifts. I am sharing with you the mysteries of My Heart on this First Friday between twelve and one o'clock. I am giving you insight into the hidden mysteries that will remain in your heart for years to come. I love you! I love you! I love you! Come and dwell within My Heart. 
 

2 Thessalonians 1: 1-5, 11-12

    Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the Church in Thessalonica which is in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

    We must always thank God for you, brothers; quite rightly, because your faith is growing so wonderfully and the mutual love that each one of you has for all never stops increasing. Among the churches of God we take special pride in you for your perseverance and faith under all the persecutions and hardships you have to bear. It all shows that God’s judgement is just, so that you may be found worthy of the kingdom of God; it is for the sake of this that you are suffering now.

    In view of this we also pray continually that our God will make you worthy of his call, and by his power fulfil all your desires for goodness, and complete all that you have been doing through faith so that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you and you in him, by the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
 

9. Jesus: And He filled them with abundant grace as they sat before Him. Jesus Christ, the Son of God outpouring His life into their souls and they felt this light with such vibrancy within their being. And they were filled, with hearts that were filled to the brim with His love and He came and gave them peace, love and joy. I am Jesus. I give to you, My beloved ones, great gifts. I reveal to you the mysteries of My heart on fire for love of man. 

10. Song: A Song from Jesus

Jesus: Do you feel pressed on My beloved ones? Do you feel that you have been abandoned? And that your life is very hard? Come and walk with Me; My Passion. Come as I go forward and carry My cross on your back, for I am Jesus and I am giving to you great gifts of My love. 
 

John 10: 2-4

He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the flock; the gate-keeper lets him in, the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out. When he has brought out all those that are his, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow because they know his voice.

Jesus Carries His Cross to Calvary 

1. Jesus: I carried the cross on My back, stooped over, the weight of the sins of the world and I look at you this day as I carry this cross. I look into your eyes. Do you see, My dear ones, eyes that are filled with pride or eyes that are filled with tenderness and love? My Way always is to love. 

2. Jesus: Do not be prideful, do not be anxious. Come with your hearts supple and soft and let Me penetrate your soul with My Life and My Love. See before you the Son of man with the cross on His back covered with blood, His head crowned. My dear ones, have before your eyes the suffering face of the Lord Jesus Christ and in your suffering they will seem so small as compared to the sufferings of My Passion. 

3. R. A Heart that is haughty will not unite with the Heart of the Savior. God loves us and wants us to love Him. He is telling us about His love, do we listen. Do we believe Him deep in our roots? Are our roots saturated with faith, hope and love - Or are our roots filled with jealousy, pride, anger? Say Lord, I give You my life, body and soul, I trust in Thee.

4. Jesus: Be surrendering as I surrendered to the Will of the Father. I carried the cross on My back, My arms in such pain, ripped and torn. I carried this cross always complying to the Father's Will for love of you, dear ones. I carried this cross. Will you not carry the crosses that I give to you this day? Will you not surrender and say yes to the life that I am giving to you as you go through sufferings? You rise to new life in Me.  Accept the cross. Do not give your crosses away. Come to Me and share deep, intimate moments with in your sufferings. I am Jesus. I am attentive to your every need. Carry your cross and you too will be raised to new life. It is a constant struggle of ups and downs of sufferings in life. I withstood all of the pain that was constant. The pain that did not stop from the Agony in the Garden until I died on the cross. There was not any relief My dear ones. You are given little crosses to carry. You are given an opportunity to come and dwell in My Heart and the Heart of My Mother. Come and take refuge in Our Hearts. Release yourselves for I will carry the load with you. I am your beloved Savior, attentive to your every need. I am your Savior. 

Song: A Song from Jesus

5. Jesus: Do you think that I would come and die on the cross and not be attentive to your needs of this moment? 

6. Jesus: I give to you My abundant life. I have outpoured My life to you in this room. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God truly present the same as the day I carried My cross on My back and I am in this room with you at this moment. Bend low and kiss the earth. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within the graced baptized soul. My sweet ones if you could see a soul that is saturated with grace, you would be in awe. 

7. Jesus: Do you count yourself blessed for all the great gifts that I am giving to you? Do you say thanks and praise your Father in Heaven? My beloved ones, you are so blessed and you go about this earth and whine and complain for your little crosses. See before you My eyes under the crown of thorns, the blood that pours down the sides of My face. Do you see this picture? Do you see the hollow cheeks and the blood that came forth from My mouth? But My greatest sufferings were not the sufferings that you see but the sufferings that I experienced to My Heart, filled with love, love for each beloved soul. 

8. Jesus: Come unto Me, My beloved one. Pray to Me, Pray to the Father. Pray to the Holy Spirit to guide you. You are surrounded by a choir of angels and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit live within your graced baptized soul. Do not let your lights dim, but shine in the darkest night for you My dear ones are filled with the Presence of the Almighty God within you. Release yourself. Say you are sorry to any that you have offended, for you My dear ones, are not perfect but I want you holy. I want you to strive to be perfect. You must forgive yourself and move on. I am Jesus. I scarcely could move with the cross on My back but My thoughts always of you and My immense love for you. I continued My way towards Calvary. My dear ones, will you not continue your way with the love that I give to you this day in your hearts. Will you be the lights that shine in the darkness, for the darkness is oh so dark in this world today and I am asking you to be a star that shines in the dark night. Be slow to anger, do not give into sin - Be a shining light.

9. Jesus: Let your hearts be brilliant and filled with My immense love. Let your hearts seek to know Me more and more. Thirst to be filled by Me. Be hearts that are beacon lights shining in this world. Be these hearts. I call you to such intimacy with Me. The more you unite to My Heart, the more you will shine and light up this earth. 

10. Jesus: Do not hold on to anger of the past. Live in the moment. Be what the Father wants you to be. Do not worry for the future. Live minute by minute, second by second saturated with My Life and My Love in you. Accept all that is given and strive to please your Heavenly Father who loves you with the deepest love.

Song: A Song from Jesus (song to be sung after each decade.) 

 

Jesus Dies on the Cross 

1. Jesus: Do not make being right your god. Tell the truth - Seek truth. Try to solve all the problems that you are given with love. I am Jesus Christ and My Heart is a Heart that is filled with love. 

2. Jesus: I hung for three agonizing hours on the cross. I died a brutal death for you on the cross. Study My crucifix and My love.

3. Jesus: I give to you, My dear ones My beloved Mother. Mary guards you, and protects you and holds you under Her mantle. Come to the Heart of My Mother ever pure and dwelling in My Heart. As you dwell in My Mother's Heart, you will dwell in My Heart for My Mother dwells most perfectly in My Heart. Mary is pure and kind and loving. Come and dwell in the Heart of the Virgin Mary. 

4. Jesus: Love and hatred are not co-existent. You must release all feelings of hatred toward any person and approach that person with love. I am Jesus and the Plan of the Father is unfolding. Be yielding and loving, not prideful, not angry; kind and submissive, but firm in My ways of love. Come with love, My dear one. I am Jesus and I love you. 

5. Jesus: You do not need to bump heads. Each person is a thread in the tapestry and you My dear ones, are called especially by Me. Great gifts I am giving to you and instructing you on the ways of My life. 

6. Jesus: See the crucifix always before your eyes. My dear ones, see My body battered, bloodied and bruised. See the body of a man, the Son of God. This is the love, My dear one that I have for you. 

7. Jesus: I love! I love! I love! You are called to many sufferings, many mental torments, many pains within your body. I am Jesus and in these sufferings you are given new life. Accept all that I give you and love My dear ones. I call you to love, love of God with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being and love of each other. Love as I have loved you to My death. I died for you. 

8. Jesus: And My Heart was pierced with a lance and what came forth was blood and water. Blood for the Eucharist. Water for Baptism. I give to you Myself, My dear ones. I nourish you with My body and My blood. I give to you My dear ones, a sharing in My Life in baptism. Come and let Me saturate you with this life. I gave Myself on the cross, and I give Myself to you this day. I am Jesus, the Son of God, attentive to all your needs. 

9. Jesus: My Mother held Me at birth and She held Me under the cross. Go to the arms of My beloved Mother and she will hold you in her arms and protect you from the evils of this world. Satan has no power over you. I am the Almighty God. I have all the power and My power is endless. Come and dwell in Our Hearts. I give to you Myself dear ones. 

10. Jesus: Make Spiritual Communions all through the day and be united so deeply to Me, the Almighty God. Know the constant dwelling of the Almighty God within you: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God and I live within your heart. My dear one, you are so blessed and favored. Open wide your hearts and let Me unite in deepest love with you.

 

Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

1. Mary: My dear little children, come to the heart of your Mother. Satan is pressing down on all of you. My beloved children. It is only when you take refuge in my heart that you will be able to withstand the sufferings, persecutions and the trials that you will experience daily. I am Mary, your Mother and I ask you now to come to my heart, to lay yourself in my heart, to be rocked and loved within my tender heart.

    I know all of the struggles in your mind and in your hearts. I am the most loving Mother and I am with you. I give to you, my dear ones, love. I lead you to my Son and my Son Jesus outpours His love! As it flows through His Heart, it flows from my heart to you and you are filled with such vibrancy and love. I am Mary, your Mother. Put yourself, my dear ones, in my care. As you go through these mysteries of the rosary, meditate with your whole heart, your whole mind and your whole soul. Put yourself in the presence of the Almighty God and realize that He lives within you. When you are in the state of grace, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is within you.

    Satan will test you, he will try you, he will try to trip you up. I am Mary, your Mother. I crush satan's head. Come to the Heart of Jesus. Come to my heart. This is the Mighty Medicine — Our love — the Love of Jesus. Come dwell in Our Hearts. You will be strengthened to fight the battle against satan. Come now, my beloved children, and meditate on our lives with your whole heart. Release yourself of all anxieties, all the tightness, all the fears, all of the problems with everyone in your life and let go, and surrender to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary as We carry you through Our lives.

2. Mary: Satan will get you focused on problems, my dear ones. You must pray for the grace to be able to fight the temptation and come and dwell in my loving heart. I caress you and hold you tenderly to my breast. I am Mary, your Mother and I am mothering you in my arms.

3. R. The angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary and asked her to be the Mother of God.

4. R. The most highly favored daughter of the Father was chosen by God, Mother of His Son. This tells us of the immense love that the Father had for the Virgin Mary and how He loves women that His Son Jesus came into this world in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

5. Hail Mary

6. Hail Mary

7. R. The seeds of time move exceedingly slow and satan gets you focused on problems, my dear ones and you see the details in front of your lives. You do not see the big picture — the picture of the plan of salvation. As you meditate on this rosary, see the plan as it unfolds:

    The Son of God enters this earth in the womb of the Virgin Mary. He lived His life. He walked all through the Passion, He died. He rose and ascended into Heaven and we live His life, death and resurrection in our lives. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist, today.

8. Mary: It is in the constancy, to stay fixed forever in the love of Jesus, that you will have peace and joy in your heart to know the presence of the Almighty God within you at every single second to be focusing on your union with Him and to tell Him of your moments of struggle and of your deep love for Him. To share these moments with Him and to put aside the distractions, my dear, dear, sweet little children. Please listen, I beg you to listen and to come to my heart and I will join your heart in such union with the Heart of my Son. You, my beloved ones, were created with a soul to know, love and serve God. Nothing will feed the soul but the love of God.

9. Mary: You may be satisfied for a short time by little whims here, but you must be focused on your union with Jesus. I am Mary, your Mother. The only thing that feeds the soul is the love of God. No matter how hard you try to make other things work in your life, they do not work if they are not rooted in His love. I am asking you this evening to come and picture yourself cradled and caressed in my heart. As I dwell in the Heart of my Son, you too will dwell in Him, in His Sacred Heart in such deep, deep love if you go to His Heart.

10. Mary: My dear ones, the world is very sick. In the hospital many people are not cared for spiritually. They are cared for physically but their souls are left to wither and die in pain. The soul must be fed by the love of God. In the nursing homes many patients are cared for physically and they sit and stare at the walls with hearts that are aching. My Son Jesus loves each and every soul. I call out to you to spread these messages of His love to the world. The souls are starved and aching and crying out and they are being fed by things of the world and their hearts cry out for more and more and more. The world is suffering and in pain and they are sick in their hearts. Many of my little children have a disease far worse than any physical disease. Many are withered in their hearts and in their soul and are dying from lack of nutrition. You contain, my sweet children, the mighty medicine to feed the sick children of the world. The medicine is the love of my Son Jesus.

 

The Visitation

1. R. Mary made haste to the hill country to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Her cousin Elizabeth had conceived a child in her old age and when Mary arrived at Elizabeth's home, with the Child Jesus within her womb, the child in Elizabeth's womb leapt with joy and Elizabeth cried out,

Luke 2: 42-45 ...‘Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord? Look, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.’

2. R. How is it that the Mother of our God should come and speak to us? How is it that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in His Divinity and humanity, remains with us this day in the Blessed Sacrament, longing and searching and waiting for us to come and to be with Him. How is it that the Father loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son into the world, incarnate in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and He is neglected and treated with indifference and ingratitude. How is this that we can be so cold and callous in our hearts when Jesus is so tender, so gentle, and so loving and He waits and thirsts for us to come and be with Him. I hear the constant lamenting from the tabernacle. How He is waiting and thirsting for His precious little ones to come and be with Him. Many times these words fall on deaf ears — man has turned his back on Jesus.

3. R. We receive the Word of God! He is talking to us, today in His Word. Let His Word live in us!! This day when He calls out in the Scriptures how He loves with the dearest love that He would not forsake us or forget us (should a mother forsake her child, I will never forget you), do we hear the Word — His Word of deepest love from the burning Heart of Jesus, our Savior?

4. R. Mary visited hr cousin Elizabeth. Jesus comes to us this day in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus comes inside of us and unites with us in deepest love and He calls out over and over again and He asks me to tell all of His deep and burning love. I hear Him speak of His Heart, gentle and kind. Jesus is with us. He is waiting for our love affair with Him. He is alive.

5. R. Let your heart be open. Let your soul be filled with love, make it shine as light in the darkest night. May your face show love of Almighty God that lives within your being. Make all those you touch know His presence in you. Tell them of the Might of the Almighty God, a power too mighty to be contained.

Jesus: I want to fill your heart and permeate your soul with My light and My love.

6. Song: On This Day, O Beautiful Mother

7. Mary: Let not your hearts be hard but soft and supple. Do not speak against your brother. Do not speak unkindly at all about your brothers. If you are to unite to the Heart of my Son, you must put aside all those things. My Son is burning and on fire with love for each one of you and wants to be so close to you. Only a heart that is pure will unite in deepest love with my Son. I am Mary, your Mother. I am present and with you. I appear to you, my beloved ones, in such light for as you learn my ways and the ways of my Son, you will light up the darkness. (I am the Lady of Light. I appear to you this day as the Lady of Light, to shed the light of my Son into your hearts.)

8. Mary: The way to my Son is many times filled with bumps and hard times. My dear children, you must come to my heart and rest in my heart and dwell in the Heart of my Son for the road ahead will be bumpy and hard and you will suffer very much persecution. It is only in dwelling in Our Hearts you will have peace and joy. Where can you go — there is not a place to go. The times will move ahead, they will be hard. You must come to my heart and dwell in my heart and the Heart of my Son. As the light flows around me, His light too will radiate from your eyes and your face, for in joining to Our Hearts you will show the love of God to a world that is suffering and in pain. I am Mary, your Mother, Our Lady of Light. I have come to deliver this message of my love to you this day. My sweet and dear children, I have come to deliver this message to you.

9. Mary: If you could see the rays of the Holy Eucharist, my sweet little children, you would fall to the floor. You do not know the great gift that you are given. My Son Jesus is received so lightly and with such ingratitude. I ask you to make reparation to His Heart for all the injustices and for the indifference and the neglect that He suffers. In the Sacrament of His greatest love, the Holy Eucharist, you receive a visit from Jesus my sweet children. Go to the Eucharist. It is there that He pours out His abundant grace and you will know, more and more, His love when you go to the Eucharist.

10. Mary: I am Mary, your Mother, Mother of the Eucharist. I am united with the Heart of my Son. Go to His Heart, my dear ones. Your souls are thirsting for His love and nothing, nothing, nothing on the face of this earth will feed the starved soul but the love of God.

 

The Birth of Jesus

1. R. A little love of a child born in a stable, in the town of Bethlehem, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is born in such poverty and rejected by men. He comes to this earth to give His love to each and every soul. He is not adored in glory, He comes in such humbleness and the stars shine over Him and proclaim the greatness of the Almighty God!

2. R. The little shepherd, born in the manger, surrounded by sheep and shepherds.

3. R. Jesus Christ, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, comes to this earth. The Son of God comes to lead all men to their real home, in heaven. Each little lamb He holds so close to His Heart and comforts them and gives them His tender love.

4. Jesus: I am Jesus, My beloved ones. Many of My flock have strayed and have lost their way and I am calling out to you to pray, pray, pray, as you go into this world with hearts that are filled with My love. I am calling you to unite in the deepest union with My Heart, for I long and thirst and wait for you. It is in this union that I can operate from your soul and minister to My little stray sheep in this world. I call out to you - do you hear? Will you answer the call? You are My shepherds that I am sending into this world to bring My flock home. I operate in you, through you, and with you. Come to Me and unite with Me, in deepest love. I am gentle and kind of Heart. I love you, My dear one.

5. Song: As a Shepherd, he Leads His Flock

6: Jesus: How the flock has strayed and look at the lives of the little, innocent children. How many are lost and many cannot find their way! It is only in spreading My love across the world that children and adults will be led back and on their way to their true home in heaven. I am calling out to you to send messages of My love into this world. To do this you must be filled with fire for love of God within your hearts. I am burning with love for you. Will you come to Me and let Me fill you with love? Will you spend time with Me in front of the tabernacle and receive My grace and light? I am fortifying you with My supplies and sending you out into the world.

7. Jesus: It is in suffering that you are joined closer to My Heart. My dear ones, many things will happen to lead you to My Heart and many will still refuse the signs that are given to them. You must pray to the Father at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass being offered throughout the world in the Holy Spirit, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary. All through the day offer up all of your prayers, works, joys and sufferings for the souls of My beloved ones, for many are very sick in the world and have lost their way. I am Jesus. I am sending you, My chosen ones, on a journey to lead the little sheep home.

8. R. Jesus came as a helpless little baby, born in a manger, in Bethlehem.

John 3: 16

For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him 
    may not perish
but may have eternal life.

R. God is calling out to us to spread His love through the world.

9. R. Jesus calls out to us to feed the hungry. The souls are hungry and are starving for the love of God. It is only in the love of God that is rooted deeply within your heart that you will feed the starved souls.

Jesus: I want to be one in you, that you feel My presence so connected to you and that your hearts are joined in deepest intimacy with Me and I will minister to the starved souls through you and they will see the light of the Almighty God that from your eyes and this world will know that I live in you.

10. Jesus: Many in Medjugorje lost their homes. They did not have water, they did not have food, they lost everything they had. You, America, are given such great blessings and you do not even say thanks for the gifts that you are given. There is always a cry for more, more and more — to feed the starved soul, only the love of God will feed the starved souls! Many hearts have turned cold as stone. I am Jesus and you are My soldiers, you are going into battle to fight a battle in a godless world. It is through your love, through your days united with Our Hearts, that you will light up the darkness.

 

The Presentation in the Temple

1. R. Jesus was taken to the Temple to be presented to His Father and they offered a pair of turtle doves. In His Divine knowing, He knew of the sacrifice that would come someday.

2. R. The prophet Simeon told Mary of the sufferings of Mary and Jesus to come and he says to her, "a sword too shall pierce your soul, O Mary."

3. R. Mary knew of the sufferings the Child Jesus would suffer whenever she looked at Him. Jesus in His Divine knowing knew of the sufferings to come. There is such intimacy between the Hearts of Jesus and Mary all through the Joyful Mysteries. We see the connection between the two Hearts that beat in the same body. Jesus was carried in the womb of His Mother. The child received the milk of His Mother after His birth. Mary was the life support of her Son. Mary is our Mother. Mary mothers us this day, Mary leads us to Jesus. Jesus outpour Your grace to us. We are thirsty for You, oh God!!

4. R. It is through the pierced Heart of Jesus that the sacramental life of the Church was born. Mary is the Mediatrix of all grace. Mary stands at the foot of the cross and she stands by the altar.

5. R. God outpour Your grace to us!!

6. R. Simeon says to Mary, "A sword too shall pierce your soul, O Mary" we remember the 7 Dolors —

The Seven Sorrows of Mary

(1) The prophecy of Simeon
(2) The flight into Egypt
(3) The loss of the Child Jesus in the temple
(4) Jesus and Mary meet on the way to the cross
(5) Jesus dies on the cross
(6) Jesus is taken down from the cross and laid in Mary's arms
(7) The burial of Jesus

7. Luke 2: 25-34

Now in Jerusalem there was a man named Simeon. He was an upright and devout man; he looked forward to the restoration of Israel and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death until he had set eyes on the Christ of the Lord. Prompted by the Spirit he came to the Temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the Law required, he took him into his arms and blessed God; and he said:

    Now, Master, you are letting 
        your servant go in peace 
    as you promised; 
    for my eyes have seen the salvation 
    which you have made ready 
        in the sight of the nations; 
    a light of revelation for the gentiles 
    and glory for your people Israel.

As the child’s father and mother were wondering at the things that were being said about him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, ‘Look, he is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed—so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.'

8. R. Let us go and cradle in the heart of our beloved Mother, with all of her motherly tenderness, we dwell in her heart, we dwell in the Heart of her Son. We want His abundant love. We want to be saturated with His grace. We understand more the mystery. We meditate on the mystery of Their lives. We understand more the mystery of God's love. We seek greater life in Him. We seek His love!!

9. R. We thirst and long and beg to receive more grace, more and more life, to know more fully for it is in this life, this saturation of grace, that feeds the starved soul and as we are fed more and more, you want more and more, for it is an endless source. We can always grow deeper and deeper in this life and be saturated more and more, so as we are saturated more and more with His life today, we are more holy.

10. Song: I Love You Jesus

 

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

1. Song: Amazing Grace

2. Song: A Song from Jesus

3. Jesus: Many little lambs this day are lost and cannot find their way. Pray that they may receive this grace so that where they are blind that they will see. I fill you with My life where you were blind before - you now see so clearly. My dear ones, pray, pray, pray to receive grace to know and love God more and more. Pray for your brothers.

4. Jesus: In one second you can see so clearly the mysteries when you are given My grace. My dear ones, pray for grace to see more and more and pray to the Holy Spirit for His gifts.

5. R. Wisdom, Counsel, Understanding, Fear of God, and Fortitude, these are gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Mary: My dear ones, go to my heart. Go to the Holy Spirit, pray to Him all through the day to fill you with the vibrancy of the fire of God's love. Allow the Spirit to move within you, to operate you and to lead you on your way. It is in my heart that you are formed more and more in the image of Jesus, My Son, through the Holy Spirit. I am Mary, your Mother. Come to my heart.
 

From the Priestly Newsletter Book III by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

6. R. I was blind, but now I see...

7. Mary: Many of my little ones are lost and wandering far from the Heart of my Son. It is through your prayers that many will be led home. Pray for my beloved priests, pray for the priests to lead the flock to the Heart of my Son. Many priests have wandered and are not filled with deep love of Jesus within their hearts. You must pray for your priests to return to the Heart of my Son, Jesus, to come to the Eucharist and to sit in front of the tabernacle to come with love and be filled within their hearts and souls with the love of God, to know Jesus as a Person and be intimately in love with Jesus. When the priests love Jesus with their whole hearts, their whole soul and their whole being, they will know more and more the love of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock.

    I am Mary, your Mother. I am asking you to pray for the priests and the religious of the world. For many have turned worldly and they need your prayers. Satan is pressing down on the Church. He wants to stop the Eucharist. He wants to stop the priests. It is through your prayers that many will be helped. My little children, I am asking you to spend your days in pleasing the Father, in doing His will, and offering everything that you do as a prayer for the suffering souls of my little, lost children of the world. My Son was lost in the Temple but my heart is sorrowing for my little, lost children — lost in this world this day. I am Mary, your Mother and I am asking you to unite with the Heart of my Son. It is in this deep union that your prayers will become very strong for the suffering souls in this world.

8. Mary: Come to the Heart of my Son. Come to the Heart of my Son. Come to the Heart of my Son. Your souls are starved and craving for love and the gifts that you receive when you unite with Him. They are far beyond your comprehension. You do not understand the great gifts that you are given. You must reach to understand more — pray for grace. You have a human mind. You stay so close to the earth, when Jesus, my Son, is outpouring His Divine love to you and wants to fill you more and more with His grace.

    I am Mary, your Mother. I am guarding you and protecting you with my mantle every second of your lives. You are my apostles that I have called to go into this world to spread the love of my Son. Come and dwell in my heart and I will form you more and more in the image of Jesus. My dear, dear, little children, I am crying out to you. I see before me the sufferings of my little children of this world - the children, the little children, that are being killed by abortion, and persecuted and taught such vileness in the schools. Do you see the sick ones? Do you see the sickness? They are being fed things of this world, the bloodshed will continue and hearts will remain cold unless you obey my message. I am Mary, your Mother and I am asking you to pray as you have never prayed before and to spread the messages of my Son's love into this world, to spread these rosaries across the country. I am begging you to turn your hearts to love — love of God — love of your brother.

9. Mary: I give to you mighty medicine for this world, for this world is suffering and in pain and the medicine is the love of my Son, Jesus. Will you spread this love through the world? Will you carry these love letters to those that are hurting? Will you come and spend time with Him? Will you surrender and offer up the day to comply in the Father's will for the suffering souls? What you do with every minute of your day will make a difference. You will be taunted and satan will try to stop you in your path — he will try to tell you that what you do is not going to make very much difference.

    I am Mary, your Mother. With all of your efforts, my Son cries out to you this night. The love of God will flow throughout this land as you live in love as God wants. My Immaculate Heart will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and there will be an era of peace with all, and a spirit in their heart of the deepest love, all united in Our Hearts. This love begins with love in your hearts. Let your heart be filled with the love of Our Hearts.

10: Song: Let There be Peace on Earth

July 28, 1995

Sorrowful Mysteries
 

The Agony in the Garden

1. Jesus: My dear ones, I am Jesus and you must listen to the words that I am speaking to you, for I am telling you that sufferings at this time are befalling this earth and that Satan is pressing down. He is pressing down so hard on all My beloved, faithful ones! As you see the confusion, the doubt, and the troubles mount in your life at this moment, you will know that Satan is busy and his work is at hand. I am molding you as special soldiers to go into this world to spread My love. How dearly I love each of you. I have called you here to pray this rosary with all your heart. Let your heart be open; let your heart be soft.
   
   Let Me fill you with My love so you feel within you My burning love. Although the earth be shaken and not give its light, you will know that the Almighty God dwells within your heart and that you have nothing to fear, for a graced soul is constantly filled with the presence of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. You do not know the tricks and the handiwork that Satan has planned to stop My faithful ones from spreading My love. It is in focusing on My burning Heart, My Heart of deepest love, that you will withstand all the trials with joy in your heart for, minute by minute, second by second, I am present with you. I am with you at this very moment. You are telling every person you meet about the God who lives within you. Let your hearts be filled with joy for I am truly present and in your midst. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in this room with you in the tabernacle, the same as the day I walked the earth and died on the cross. Let your hearts be joyous. Rejoice and give thanks to the Almighty God and praise His name, for you are called, you are favored, you are chosen and you are loved with My deepest, burning love.
2. Jesus: In the garden I knelt with such agony in My Heart, for in My divine knowing I saw before Me all of the events about to happen. I knew of every beating, all of the blood that I would shed, but, more than anything, I knew the rejection and pain in My Heart for the love I had for My beloved ones and how they would reject Me. Look at your world this day. It was in the garden that I suffered for all of the souls that have forgotten God. I cry out to you from the tabernacle to realize My presence with you. You are given great gifts in this room. I want you to unite closely to My Heart, for I am longing and thirsting and waiting for this love affair with you. This rosary will be a time when you will share My deepest love. I am giving you great graces when you come before Me in the tabernacle. I will draw you more and more closely to My Heart. As I suffered in the garden for the souls that beat Me and treated Me with indifference, I was comforted by the acts of love that you are giving to Me this day.
3. R. The eyes of Jesus that cried bloody tears for all of the souls that have forgotten Him! Jesus calls from the tabernacle. Constantly I hear His lamenting cry of how He longs and thirsts to be ever closer to the hearts of men. Many men have turned their backs and do not realize the gentleness and sweetness of His love.
4. Jesus: Love is giving, My dear ones, giving of yourself for the sake of others. Many this day do not know the meaning of love. To love means to give of yourself, to give for the other. Many times it is hard to love and keep giving love for, as you are self-giving, the other continues to be selfish, but I am calling you to love. As you meditate on this passion, focus on My love, given for all, how I was persecuted and suffered and still loved. My way is love. Focus on the meaning of the word love and what it means to you.
5. Jesus: I am vigilant and forever by your side. Unconditionally I love you. No matter what you have done in your life, I love you.
6. Jesus: It is this love that I want you to give to this world. Love is giving.
7. Jesus: My love is gentle. My love is sweet. My love is kind.
8. Jesus: I give to you great graces to help you to love in this world that is hurting and in pain. Satan will cause confusion and division in your lives. He will tempt and tempt you to try to justify your actions. You must be silent many times, and yield and pray, for he is trying to create great division in your lives. You must go to My Heart and take refuge there and focus on My love for you. You are My soldiers that I am sending into this world to spread My love. Will you answer this call? Will you pray for more and more grace to spread this love to a world that is hurting and in pain?
9. Jesus: Think of how it is when you love someone so much and that person walks by and ignores you. Your heart is crying out for union with that person but in his coldness he does not see you and goes his way. My dear ones, his heart is in pain and hurting. I came to show you the way of love. My way is love. When your brother mistreats you, you must realize that within he is hurting and in pain.
10. Jesus: I come to give you peace, peace in your hearts and in your souls. Do not argue with your brothers. When you argue, Satan is there trying to cause division. I am asking you to focus always on the love in My Heart. I am giving you messages of My love. Do you realize the great gifts that you are given, that you are in this room, in this chapel, in the presence of the Almighty God? Focus on the great gifts given to you this day from the Almighty God.
    
    How can you be glum and sad in your ways when you realize that the Almighty God loves you with the deepest love and that He is present. Pray for the grace to see more and more, for many are blind and do not see the great gifts given to them. I am giving to you, My faithful ones, great gifts and the graces to see with much clarity. Open your heart and pray for the grace to love your brothers as I have loved you.
    
    Satan wants you focused on yourself so you will not spread the light to this world that is hurting and in pain. Satan wants souls for hell-souls for hell! Do you realize that? Let go of any kind of selfishness that you feel within yourself and vow to love and to give. Let go, release. If you let go you will feel tremendous freedom and My grace will pour into your heart and you will be filled with My burning love.

Jesus Is Scourged at the Pillar

1. Jesus: You do not know the extent to which Satan will go to keep you focused on yourselves. He is busy and working hard to keep your hearts set on problems. I am Jesus and I am giving you My abundant love. Focus on My love for you.
2. Jesus: You are My lights that I am sending into this world to spread My love. It is the smile on your face, the look in your eye, the gentleness in your voice, the love that you give to this world in all the little actions that will send My message of love to those you touch. Let go and surrender and pray for grace. Whatever is bothering you, let go and you will feel an outpouring of My grace as it rushes into your heart and you are set free, for minute by minute, second by second, Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within you and you are never alone. If the earth is shaken and the sun ceases to shine, you will have this presence of the Almighty God firmly fixed within your heart.
3. Jesus: They tore My flesh; they beat My body. See My body, dear ones, covered with wounds and bleeding. See the wounds, deep wounds, My flesh torn open by the angry hearts of these men! I came to show you the way. In all of this torture I loved those who tore open My flesh. I came to show you the way to love. I ask you this day to release anything that is hurting inside of you, and you will feel joy in your heart, for to know Me is to have joy in your heart. Amidst all the sufferings that you are going through, keep your focus on Me.
4. Jesus: Your life is a constant reliving of death-resurrection. My dear ones, as you suffer this day, as you stay rooted in Me, you are brought to deeper and deeper life in Me. You live this paschal mystery of death-resurrection in your daily lives. I came to show you the way. I came to show you the way to love. Love is gentle, love is kind. It is caring for the other. In this world today many hearts have turned cold.
5. Jesus: In the intensity of My deepest love I want you to feel the vibrancy of this love within your heart. At this moment, focus on the presence of the Father, your loving Father who created you with such preciousness and such beauty. He created you, a very unique part of His plan, a plan for the salvation of the world. There is not another person who is like you, and He dwells within your heart. When you are in the state of grace, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit live within you.
6. Jesus: Come to the Heart of My Mother. Lay yourself down in her Heart and be cradled by her love. As you dwell in her Heart, so too will you dwell in My Heart. Feel this presence, of dwelling within the Heart of your loving Mother and dwelling within My Heart, on fire for love of you!
7. Jesus: The Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the mutual love of the Father and of the Son, is present within you, My dear ones. Do you feel His fire and His vibrancy as He leads you more and more on your way, on this journey to eternity?
8. Jesus: My dear ones, focus now on the presence of the Almighty God within you, of the Father, and His love for you, of the Son and Holy Spirit. Feel the security. You have nothing to fear. The only fear that you should have is for the loss of the life in your soul. Let go, surrender, and feel the freedom of knowing the presence of the Almighty God that lives in a graced soul.
9. Jesus: Tremendous gifts you are given, My beloved ones. Pray for the grace to realize the gifts that you are given. I stood at the pillar and they tore My flesh. The men, with their angry hearts and ugly faces, with hatred deep-rooted in their hearts. I shed My blood for them. I loved these men, these men that put me to My death. See Me wounded, with deep wounds that ripped My flesh. I am with you at every second. You receive abundant graces for loving when others are cold to you. I am with you every second. Let go and surrender. The time is at hand. Many souls will be lost and I am calling you to go into this world to spread My message of love. I am Jesus. I love you, I love you, I love you. From the tabernacle I call out to you with My Heart, yearning with deepest love, wounded for all the souls that have forgotten and treat Me with such indifference. Think of someone you love walking by and ignoring you. I am ignored and forgotten, treated with disrespect. I am, My dear ones, the Son of God! I wait, I wait, I wait for My beloved ones to come and, from their lips, to whisper their words of love. I am a Person and I am longing and thirsting for your love. Open your hearts and come to Me.
10. Hail Mary…

Jesus is Crowned with Thorns

1. Jesus: The words that wound! Words from your beloved brother! Do you see My body, covered with wounds, wounds all over My body? When your brother treats you with ugliness, My dear ones, focus on the wounds covering My body and pray for the grace to act as I would want you to act.
2. Jesus: My dear ones, let your hearts be in joy as you realize My presence continually within you. During all of your sufferings, I am with you.
3. R. They pounded into His head a sharp crown of piercing thorns. Look at the head of Jesus, punctured by the thorns, the deep holes around His forehead. Focus on these wounds and then think of the little wounds that we receive, the words spoken, the problems that we let press on our minds. Look at Jesus and think of the crown of thorns pressing on His head. He allows us to suffer and in this suffering we are brought to greater and greater life in Him. Do we feel this divine life within us?
4. R. Look at the crowned head of Jesus and see the blood that comes down His face and goes into His eyes and into His ears. His hands were tied. He could not even try to wipe the blood from His brow. He loved those men that crowned Him with thorns.
5. Jesus: You will suffer much mental persecution this day, a pressing down of problems and things in your life that will irritate you. You must focus on My love for you. Come and dwell in the Heart of My Mother and, when you dwell in her Heart, you will dwell deeply in My Heart. You must come for our love. Things will be very hard and you will not be able to withstand the trials without Our love.
6. Jesus: Why do you go it alone when I am here, I am present, and I am outpouring My life, My grace, to you this day. Let go, surrender. When you are backed up against a wall, let go. I am here. Trust. (R. Jesus, I trust in You.) Forever on your lips say, "Dear Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You!"
7. Jesus: Accept all that is going on in your life this day for I am allowing these trials to strengthen you for the days ahead. The trials you are experiencing will strengthen you.
8. Jesus: Praise the Almighty God for the great gifts that you are given in these sufferings for you are growing more and more in My life. They pounded into My head a sharp crown of piercing thorns and in all of this I remained at peace, for I knew that it was the Father's Will. Surrender and let go. I am with you, second by second, minute by minute. I ponder the way of your heart and I am with you.
9. Jesus: You too can have joy in suffering if you realize the presence of the Almighty God. I am allowing this suffering to help you grow in your graced life.
10. Jesus: I love you, I love you, I love you. Surrender and let go, for I am truly with you.

Jesus Carries His Cross Up Calvary

1. Jesus: I ask you to carry the cross that you are given this day and to carry this cross with joy in your heart.
2. Song: See the eyes that look at Mary…
3. R. Jesus' and Mary's eyes met on the way to Calvary. Jesus looked into the face of His beloved Mother and He saw the tender love, and the hurt in her face. Mary looked into the eyes of Her Son and she knew of the suffering that He was undergoing. She saw His physical strain. She saw Him fall under the cross. She saw His blood and His wounds. She saw, in the meeting of their eyes, the immense love that He has for us this day.
4. R. It is in Mary that we will reach this deep intimacy with the Heart of Jesus. It is in going to Mary's Heart, in being rocked in her arms and held close to her breast, that she gives to us the milk of salvation. She gives to us life from her Son Jesus.
5. R. It is in knowing the tender love of our beloved Mother that we will join more deeply to the love of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is through Mary's Heart that we are carried to this love of God.
6. Jesus: Release yourself and let go for I am truly present in this room with you at this very moment. Put off all distractions. Focus more and more on My presence with you. All through your day, all through your encounters with others, I want you to be aware of My presence with you, not just when you pray, but all through the day-when you are talking to others, when you are walking, whatever you are doing.
7. R. Be alone in a room and be aware of the immense love within your being of Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. You are touched so deeply within your soul! In this time you sit with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and you soak in this presence. Time passes by, but you are unaware, for you are lost in this experience with the presence of God. Time stands still.
   
   At this point you rise and walk from the room. As you walk from the room, you know that your heart has been touched deeply by the presence of the Almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. You walk into a new world, for you are free of anxiety. You have been touched in such a way that you know that the Almighty God is truly present and living within you. You know that you do not have to fear, for the power and might of God are truly within you. You walk from this room and you carry this special touch of grace with you throughout the day. And, although the earth is shaken and the sun ceases to shine, you are steadfast in His love and His presence.
   
   Jesus: My dear ones, things will begin to happen. So much confusion and doubt now in your life! Sufferings are coming. You must know this presence within you. It is in this presence, with the Almighty God within you, that you will have deep joy within your heart at all times for you know what God is telling you. You know that He is inside of you. You can watch things fall down around you, and people stumble in your midst, but you know that, if you stay steadfastly fixed in the love of Almighty God, you do not fear for He is truly present. You walk from this room and, as you walk, you carry this presence with you. Wherever you go, know that you have been touched by a special grace and that the presence of the Almighty God-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-truly dwells within you. Your greatest fear is to lose the life of God by sin. Everything else will work according to the plan of the Father if you surrender and carry this presence within you. Do His Will.
8. R. And the earth was shaken, and trees fell, and many catastrophes hit the land, but within their hearts there was an inner peace and tranquillity as they walked from the room, for they were touched by Almighty God. Nothing can shake the presence of God within their hearts.
9. R. And He carried the cross on His back. His body was stooped over, and His face was covered with blood, and His head crowned with thorns, and He could hardly move. He fell three times under the weight of the cross but within His Heart was peace for He knew the love of His Father. He knew the Father's Will. You, too, will go about your life and have peace and joy within your heart, for you will know that as you walk the Almighty God dwells within you.
   
   Jesus: Be one with Me, My precious ones, one with Me. Unite more and more to Me. Say the Prayer for Union with Me. Every day pray this prayer. Let go, surrender and feel the freedom of knowing the indwelling of the Trinity.
10. Jesus: As you see My face covered with blood, see My body stooped down and the cross on My back. I could hardly move. As you look into My eyes, tender, loving eyes, My dear ones, I want you to hear three words from My lips as I look back at you with My tender loving eyes. I love you!

Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross

1. R. Jesus was raised high on the cross on Calvary. See Him on the hill and see Mary under the cross and hear the wind blow. See the cross against the darkened sky. This is the greatest sacrifice: the Son of God gave His all to the Father for love of us. His hands were pierced, His feet were pierced, His head was crowned with thorns. He surrendered and gave His life that we might have life forever with Him in heaven.
2. R. As you go to each Mass, unite in oneness with the priest, the priest who is Christ present at the Mass. Unite in this oneness and offer yourself in this act of self-giving to the Father. See Jesus at the Last Supper as He offered the bread and hear His words, "…this is my body" (Mk 14:22), for He knew He would give His flesh and His blood for the love of His precious souls. At Mass we offer ourselves, through and with Christ, to the Father, in the Holy Spirit.
3. R. It is in uniting ourselves to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass being offered all through the world at every moment, offering ourselves with this sacrifice to the Father, that this is our most powerful prayer and that our prayers are magnified to such an extent. All through the day offer, with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the intercession of the Virgin Mary. Offer up, My dear ones, your prayers-for the souls suffering in this world this day, for the souls in Purgatory that need your prayers-all of your petitions. Unite them to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass going on constantly, the greatest prayer that you can give to the Father.
4. Jesus: This is My Body. This is My Blood.
5. Jesus: My dear ones, I give you Myself this day in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and you take this so lightly. As I gave Myself as a sacrifice on Calvary, so I give Myself to you this day. Deeper and deeper My union with you grows as you receive Me in the Eucharist. I am crying out to you to realize the great gifts that you are given, for, when you receive Me in the Eucharist, you become so united in such oneness with Me.
6. Jesus: Prepare yourself for this event. Prepare to receive the Almighty God in deepest union in your heart and pray for the grace that this Mass will be filled with meaning for you and that you will unite in such oneness with Me. You pray at the Offertory to the Father that He accept this Sacrifice. Offer your lives to the Father with Me. Put your life in His hands. Let Him run your life and you will be free and good will happen for you, as you grow more and more in your life and unite more and more closely to Him.
7. Jesus: As you unite in such oneness with Me, you unite also with all those present in Me.
   R. Let the world unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and all become one in Christ, for we are one body in Him and He is the head.
8. R. Let us all pray in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world and offer ourselves up continually in this Sacrifice with Jesus to the Father. As we all do this there will be unity in this offering, for we are all one in Him. As we unite in Him, we unite in each other.
9. R. Ave Maria! It is through the pierced Heart of Jesus that the sacramental life of the Church was born. Blood and water flowed forth from His Heart-water, the symbol of baptism, our rebirth in Him, and blood, the symbol of the Eucharist, whereby we are fed by his Body. As the life flows through His pierced Heart, so it flows through His beloved Mother, for her Heart was invisibly pierced with a sword and she is the Mediatrix of all grace. As she nourished the Christ Child within her womb, so she provides the life to us from her Son Jesus through her spiritual womb.
10. R. I see the life flow from His pierced Heart, through the Heart of the Virgin Mary, and into our hearts. We are saturated with this divine life and divine love. It is from His Heart that all mercy and love flow.

 

September 15, 1995 - Feast of Our Sorrowful Mother

You Will Suffer Until You Carry the Rosary to the World

R. I went to Holy Cross-Immaculata Church. I wanted to scream. I cried so hard but couldn't get it out, such intense feeling of His sorrow - Her sorrow!

    After Mass I wanted to get down on the floor, roll up in a ball. Worst of all I couldn't scream nor cry. I felt intense pain, especially on my left side, wanted to hold on to my heart, but nothing, nothing relieves the pain.

    The night before last Wednesday I cried so hard, felt all the sorrowful experiences Mary has let me suffer and Jesus has let me suffer - the pain of both Hearts. Nothing, nothing will relieve this pain.

    I opened up the book to four places the day before yesterday - she was crying for her little, lost children that would go to hell.

    If I open my arms I get a terrible pain. My heart hurts so badly, not a real pain, nothing I can touch. Nothing relieves it. I want to roll up as tight as possible. I know Him so well in my heart. I love Him so much in my heart. I am one in Him in my heart. My heart hurts so badly - such pain in my heart, and in my side.

 

 

September 16, 1995

Feel His Presence in the Tabernacle

R. I remember those precious moments with my beloved Jesus as so sacred to me. I reminisce on all the times He touched me and the times I speak with Him and I cry because I love Him so much.

    How precious indeed is the time I get to spend alone with Him in front of the tabernacle. I wrote my first love letter to Him on November 13, 1994, not knowing what to say. With His grace He has taught me to love Him more and more. I love Him so much. With my every breath, I give myself to Him in complete surrender. He is all I want.

    I feel His presence so strong in the tabernacle. I missed these quiet morning times alone with Him.

    I had many visions of doors. They were not the doors I thought I would go through. I thought I would have a better life on earth, peace in the middle of all my worldly affairs. Jesus gave me His life. I have found peace in Him, life in Him. I would not have had the peace that I craved with the desires of my heart. It is only in Him I found peace, only in Him I found joy in the midst of struggle. I am at peace in Him.

    The tabernacle is so dear to me. He is so dear to me. The Father is so dear to me. The Holy Spirit is so dear to me!

  

   

September 16, 1995 - 8:30am After Mass

I Am in Their Hearts

R. In the inner sanctuary of His Heart, I am enveloped by His beating Heart and that of His Mother's. It is as if I see red inside and can go within, I am given great grace and strengthened. I can be beaten, scourged, or wounded, pressed on and in this inner sanctuary of His Heart (red and dark), I am engulfed by His love. So secure, so close, I could be knocked on, hit, rained on, blown, insulted, spit on, and yet within this red-dark secure room I will feel no attack from the outside.

    I hold myself close and cherish the presence of the Almighty God within me with such reverence and sacredness. I see a red disk, dark inner chamber. I hold myself tightly enclosed about this chamber. The focus is within, for within He strengthens me, this is my refuge, I know the light and peace and love and warmth, the state of being one in Him. As I feel at this moment united to my precious bridegroom, I want to forever remain united and enveloped around this inner chamber of His love.

    I see clearly this red-dark place, its warmth within me. My life, spent in service to others to tell about the inner sanctuary of His Heart, I am joined in such oneness with Mary's heart.

    The heart being the center of His burning love, so red and slightly lighted now as I speak about this chamber - it glows ever so brightly with His burning love. The chamber of His Heart is within, where I dwell in Him, and am engulfed in His burning love.

    I love, I love, I love Jesus. How precious to me is the gift of my God. How precious His burning Heart of His love! I feel this grabbing in my heart, pulling me in. After yesterday I have an awareness of feeling in my heart area - it is a grabbing feeling, a closing in, an embrace, the deep embrace of His burning love.

    If I never go anywhere, if I can just lay waste in His precious love - this burning, grabbing in my chest. yesterday after the pain I had a burning feeling, then it went away and I prayed the rosary with my children.

    My heart area hurt so badly on my left side, I wanted to close in and buckle over. This is like a stigmata. I could not take my focus off of Him, a constant awareness of His presence.

    This is the feast of two martyrs - this is how they withstood pain, they had His presence within.

    Intense pain within my chest. He could withstand the beatings, the pain within was His main focus. Not a physical pain, a gripping, aching, pulling pain. He gave me a writing this morning on enduring the sufferings. The pain is not going away.

  

  

September 16, 1995

The Agony of the Heart

R. I am crying out. I know more His life, death and resurrection in my life this day. I feel the struggle. I feel the pain. I must learn to go to the interior room, the sanctuary of my heart. Deeper and deeper, I go into my interior life.

    The pain is experienced inside, the joy is experienced inside. So as I am in the heart, I am to the world. He wore the marks of bloodshed. His heart knew the real pain. The agony of the heart, the real pain in both the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the buckling over with the pain of the heart.

    Mary appears with a sword in her heart. Jesus appears with a lance in His. Jesus shows us the Heart. Jesus shows us the wounds, but we try to relieve our pain and get rid of our discomfort. Jesus and Mary come with Hearts filled with deepest love, but the wounds are present, the sword is still in the heart of Mary.

    Why do They come and show us the blood in Their eyes, the bloodied face? Can we rise to new life without the suffering? Why do we try to eliminate the struggle? Jesus carried the cross. Jesus showed us His endurance. We are given crosses - we say, Lord, take them away, not realizing that in the cross comes the life. I feel many times I am down and I wait anxiously for the lifting of my cross. I look for relief, for a momentary pleasure such as food, ice cream, etc. But, Jesus allows the suffering. It comes when it comes. It is lifted when Jesus lifts it. I see the endurance of Jesus when Jesus carried His cross. I see His endurance during the Passion. I see them spit on Him, tear His flesh, crown Him, whip Him and He endured all to His death. He died on the cross. See the glory of the Resurrection - the light of day! It was followed by the Ascension. We are given the Eucharist. Jesus gives, Jesus takes, Jesus knows all things. I want to relieve the suffering many times.

    What of endurance? Do I model my life after Christ? Do I realize Jesus allows us to suffer, that in His permissive will He allows suffering. My every breath and my every heartbeat I surrender to Him. I give myself to Him. The very hairs of my head are numbered.

    Jesus gives me life. Jesus allows me to struggle. It takes as long as it takes. Why do I, in my willfulness, try to relieve that which Jesus is allowing me to experience many times.

    I feel the pain, it lasts so long. Jesus gave to me suffering of His Heart, His Mother's heart. It comes unannounced. The deep ache lasts for as long as He decides. He takes it away when I have experienced what He wants me to learn.

    I cannot, at any time, stop it. It is His decision to take it away. I want to live according to the Father's will. If I know it is His will to wait and suffer I should do it His way. This can be a great gift given to me to give me insight into His pain, suffered during the Passion. It is in meditating, and knowing more about this, that I know more of His life. So why do I want to give up the pain? The pain leads to the glory. The pain leads to identifying in His suffering.    Death/Resurrection

    Surrender, He says to me. Surrender. When will I learn to let go? Jesus, I want to receive the grace to accept all You send me. For I know, dear Jesus, how You love me. You are giving to me a sharing in Your life.

    At this moment He chooses to give me insight into His suffering and so then the light steals across the sky and I see the beauty of the new day. In the death is the resurrection. In the pain is the joy. In His life I understand deeper the mystery of His love. He gives to me as I need. I carry within my heart His life, death and resurrection in my life. I live the Scriptures in my life. I live by His Word. I spread the Gospel message. I live the Gospel message.

    Prepare in the wilderness a highway for the Lord. Jesus is God. God chose Mary.  

John 1: 14  The Word became flesh, he lived among us..."  

R. John the Baptist prepared the way of the Lord. He ate locust and labored for love of His beloved God. He was given a special calling, a special mission, a special grace to carry out that mission.

    We are called His apostles, we have been chosen as shepherds to lead the flock back to His burning love. As John the Baptist was called, we are called. We are commissioned by Baptism to carry out His life, death and resurrection in our lives. To try to eliminate the cross is to miss the resurrection. We are given the graces we need to carry out this mission. Our true home is heaven. We were made to go to heaven. We are made to live the Christ-life in our lives on earth and go to heaven and be forever united with our beloved God for all eternity. God calls us to service. God calls us to praise Him and worship Him. God calls us to union with Him. Jesus calls us to live in His Heart, to live in the Father's will. Jesus came - Jesus showed us the way. So many this day dress the body, adorn the flesh, go from pleasure to pleasure, trying to ease the pain, trying to avoid the struggle, trying to make this earthly life the end.

    The struggle is with ourselves. He plainly comes and shows us the cross. He shows us His body, arms outstretched, hands and feet nailed, head crowned with thorns, blood-covered, withered, body. We watch the world that takes its pain pills and powders its face, that lifts its face and forgets to lift their hearts. We see the world that dresses its body and allows its soul to wither inside. Jesus shows us the outside of His body covered with wounds and death. Jesus shows us His Sacred Heart on fire for love of us. His Heart was pierced. Death has no power over Jesus. Many of us have our priorities inside out. We adorn the body, making it soft and filled with light on the outside and inside our hearts are withered, cold and filled with darkness.

    The light of Christ shown from the inside!

 

 

September 17, 1995

Focus Entirely on My Burning Love for You

R. Be with Jesus in the Garden of Getsemane, kneel beside Him, see the rocks, see His brown hair and His beautiful face. This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Be there and feel His presence and as you feel His presence, realize the presence of the Almighty God within your hearts: Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwelling in our graced baptized soul. At this moment you are surrounded by Their Divine Love and your heart is burning within you, as you kneel beside the Almighty God.

    We do not realize how close He truly is to us, that He wants to be one with us, through Him, with him, and in Him, that He calls us for this union He wants, to this oneness with Him. As we mediate on the mysteries of this rosary, let us unite in this oneness with the Almighty God who cries out from every tabernacle in this world - cries out deep cries of His burning love and they fall on deaf ears, who comes to us and gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist and is ignored and forgotten and treated with such indifference.

    Jesus Christ, the Son of God, waits in all the tabernacles of the world in the Sacrament of greatest love, waiting a prisoner for His beloved souls to come and to be with Him. As present as the day that He knelt in the garden, in His Divinity and humanity, Jesus waits in the tabernacle, and we kneel before Him in front of the tabernacle, as we imagine that we knelt next to Him in the garden. This is the love that the Almighty God has for us. He remains with us this day and is forgotten and ignored. He calls out to His beloved souls, "Come to Me, you are blind and you are deaf, you do not know the great gifts that you are given. I am waiting and waiting for you to come. Come to Me, My beloved souls. I long and thirst to unite in deepest union with you."

    We search this barren desert for things to fill our starved soul, when nothing on the face of the earth will fill the starved soul but the love of God and He is waiting and longing and thirsting for us to come and be with Him.

    O, beloved Jesus, truly present in the tabernacle, give us the grace to realize this great gift we are given, to cherish every single moment that we are in the presence of the Almighty God, to never take this for granted, to thank You endlessly for the great gift You have given to us, the gift of Yourself, that You are truly present, the gift that You give us in the Holy Eucharist, and Your Heart was in such anguish in the garden, Your Heart of deepest love for all the souls that would treat You with such indifference and neglect. Your Heart of burning love is so often ignored and forgotten. My precious One, let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart for all that You suffered in the garden for Your beloved souls who have forgotten You.

“O Burning heart, O love divine, how dear you are to me. I see the host, I know you are here to love and care for me.”

THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM AND IN HIM

R. Through Him, with Him, in Him, let us share in His Divinity, He Who humbled Himself to share in our humanity. Let us feel each word in our hearts. Let the Spirit move within us at Mass. Let us come to Mass with a humble heart. Let us hear the Living Word of God delivered from the lips of His holy chosen priests. Let us give ourselves to the Father as a sacrifice united to Jesus. Let us hear the words of Jesus spoken through His holy priests, "This is My Body. This is My Blood."

I was overwhelmed by the love of the Father. I saw all of my faults. I felt so small compared to the magnitude of God. He comes to us on our tongue in the Eucharist. How holy is our tongue? Please sanctify my heart, oh Holy Spirit, that I may love God more. At the Consecration, let me die to all the things that are not of God that I may be saturated more and more with Your life. Let me love all and remove the debris in my heart.

I see the priest merge with Jesus at Mass. I see Him offering Himself to the Father. I see Jesus at the last supper.

I felt the oneness between the Father and the Son in a special way. I love each word spoken in the Mass. I feel it inside of me. I love the Mass so much. Pray for grace to know, love, and serve God more. I pray for grace to celebrate the Mass with the priest, with greater depths of union with God. The Mass is the greatest source of oneness with God and with each other. The priest merges with Jesus in a special way when celebrating the Mass. Heaven and earth unite at the Consecration. We are one body in Him, all of us joined in deepest love with God. He gives Himself to us, and we give ourselves to Him. As we become one in Him, as we unite deeper in Him, we unite with one another.

Guiding Light — Reflect on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year $ 15.00 plus postage Guiding Light homily series — Reflect on the Word — Cycle B     The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

		Guiding Light — Steadfast to the Son Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year $ 15.00 plus postage Guiding Light homily series — Steadfast to the Son — Cycle A    The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15
		Guiding Light — Feed My Soul Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year $ 10.00 plus postage Guiding Light — Feed My Soul Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year $ 15.00 plus postage Guiding Light — Feed My Soul — Cycle C    In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light — Focusing on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year $ 15.00 plus postage Guiding Light — Focusing on the Word — Cycle B    At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15
