Consecration Prayer for Peace

I consecrate Russia and the Ukraine to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

I further consecrate the priests, the Church and the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

I do this in the name of Jesus in as far as I am able, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory through the powerful intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace. Amen.

I further consecrate myself, all members of my family and ask the Holy Spirit to fill us. I spread the Blood of Jesus on all above, I cast the devil into hell away from all of us and consecrate all persons, in as far as I am able,  to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.

     

Prayer for Grace for our Country

Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

Sorrowful Mysteries

The Agony in Garden

1. Luke 22: 39-46

The Mount of Olives

He then left to make his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, with the disciples following. When he reached the place he said to them, ‘Pray not to be put to the test.’

    Then he withdrew from them, about a stone’s throw away, and knelt down and prayed. ‘Father,’ he said, ‘if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.’ Then an angel appeared to him, coming from heaven to give him strength. In his anguish he prayed even more earnestly, and his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood. When he rose from prayer he went to the disciples and found them sleeping for sheer grief. And he said to them, ‘Why are you asleep? Get up and pray not to be put to the test.’

2. Jesus saw before Him in the Garden, all the sins of the human race, He was about to suffer for.
3. Jesus saw those who would repent and be taken to eternal happiness and Jesus saw those who would continue in mortal sin, not repent and would lose their souls.
4. Jesus’ anguish was so great He sweat blood.
5. An angel appeared to Jesus, to comfort Him.
6. Jesus did the Father’s will.
7. The Father has a Plan for us.
8. Many men have suffered isolation, addiction to substances and people, fear, darkness, and enslavement.
They have been freed only by turning to God and having His presence in their heart sustaining them. We can change the dysfunctional way of living to living in abundance and faith in God, being able to experience a rich and healthy life in God.
9. Life addicted to something because of wounds causing tremendous pain one relieves by the addiction is a life of entrapment and agony.
Jesus knew all the sins of men in the Garden and He sweat blood, Jesus’ love for souls is a raging furnace of love.
10. The heavenly Father’s will for us is that we spread the Good News, live an abundant life and go to heaven someday. God wants good for our soul. God wants us to go to heaven.
When we sin, we are turning away from God’s plan for us.

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. Matthew 27: 24-26

Then Pilate saw that he was making no impression, that in fact a riot was imminent. So he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd and said, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood. It is your concern.’ And the people, every one of them, shouted back, ‘Let his blood be on us and on our children!’ Then he released Barabbas for them. After having Jesus scourged he handed him over to be crucified.

2. Only one thing is important, eternal salvation.
    Sin hurts us. Sin is not loving to ourselves.
3. They bound Jesus to the pillar and beat Him for our sins.
    Those addicted to abusing others, substances, people, sex, anger, jealousy, pride etc. are living against the Father’s plan for them.
4. Jesus suffered and paid the price for our sins, so we could be forgiven if we repent with a firm purpose of amendment.
5. When we realize God’s presence in ourselves, we know a place where we can go for inner strength from God.
6. The interior life, knowing God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwelling in our graced, baptized soul.
    Life is in God.
7. Jesus says, I am the way, the truth and the life.

8. Matthew 19: 26

Jesus gazed at them. 'By human resources', he told them, 'this is impossible; for God everything is possible.'
 

R. Surrender to God, let go, let God.

9.  Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

10. God the Father created us with a Plan that is good, it is His will we go to heaven someday. Focus on this plan for us.

 

The Crowning with Thorns

1. Matthew 27: 27-31

Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Praetorium and collected the whole cohort round him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet cloak round him, and having twisted some thorns into a crown they put this on his head and placed a reed in his right hand. To make fun of him they knelt to him saying, ‘Hail, king of the Jews!’ And they spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head with it. And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the cloak and dressed him in his own clothes and led him away to crucifixion.

2. The devil can work in fear making that fear to get very overwhelming, if we let it.
3. Jesus loves us so much. Jesus endured the bitter passion, so we could seek forgiveness of our sins.
4. Look how Jesus suffered for love of us.
    We are so loved.

Song: Little Child

5. We can let go of self-destructive patterns, by reaching out for God’s help and strength.
    Replace fear by faith.
6. Look at Jesus, the innocent Lamb led to the slaughter.
    God tells us to have faith and trust in Him.
7. Love is an act of the will. There are three loves, none of them can be missing:
    Love of God
    Love of others
    Love of self.
8. Jesus must be first in our life. Jesus is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
9. We see Jesus endured the bitter passion to the end, we must never give up because of fear and we can offer up our sufferings, works and joys with the Mass.
    Suffering is redemptive.
    We must surrender and pray for faith.
10. Always live in the truth.
    A child that is afraid is stiff and as an adult we can try to control almost everything.
    We need to live in the moment, not push things back.

 

The Carrying of the Cross

1. Luke 23:26-31

As they were leading him away they seized on a man, Simon from Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and made him shoulder the cross and carry it behind Jesus. Large numbers of people followed him, and women too, who mourned and lamented for him. But Jesus turned to them and said, ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep rather for yourselves and for your children. For look, the days are surely coming when people will say, "Blessed are those who are barren, the wombs that have never borne children, the breasts that have never suckled!" Then they will begin to say to the mountains, "Fall on us!"; to the hills, "Cover us!" For if this is what is done to green wood, what will be done when the wood is dry?'

2. Jesus teaches us surrender. 

Surrender

March 10, 1994

Jesus: This is surrender. I want your all. I do not want you attached to any person or any thing. I want you completely dependent on Me. Do I teach you such lessons on how attached you are to others and things? I have all the answers. If I do not tell you, you do not need to know. You want your will. My will I make known to you in front of the tabernacle. I have spoken here.

Surrender is doing the will of God and it is not your deciding and doing your will. I want your all. I want you to do those things the way I tell you. It is not the way you want to do them. Sweet surrender, only to find I want more. Look at My position on the cross. Did I ask you to die for Me? I ask you to do My Will. I ask you to surrender. I ask for time in front of the tabernacle. I ask for love. Watch this world go up in your face. Then where are your possessions, the things you held on to? You only have limited vision. I know all things.

I am so tired. You do not give but bits and pieces. You hold on to what you want and give Me some. I want your all. I want total surrender. I showed you how to surrender when I died on the cross. I am not asking for this. I am asking for you to do My will. You are so attached to pleasing people that you do not see the whole picture. I make My ways clear here. You do not listen. You do what you think is a good thing and you do not even come to Me. I want your all. I want surrender.

R. Love includes giving up what you don't want to give up. Love is saying, "Yes, Lord", even when you would rather do it your way. It is in your surrender and love of God that you teach mighty lessons to those around you. You teach by your being in love with Jesus. I love you, Jesus. I give of My bounty, not little bits and pieces I stingily let go of. Jesus, my Lord, my God, my All, how can I love You as I ought? Do I give My all, or do I say, "Oh, Lord, you can't mean that you want this," and hold on to what I want.

Do I hold on to people and don't even know it, or do I put You first, Lord, above all persons, places and things? I see how really attached I am to everything, things I do not even know I am attached to. It is easy to give lip service to surrender and tell God to possess our soul and make me selfless, but do I really mean it? This is what keeps us from increased union with Him! It is in total surrender, of living for love of Him and Him alone, that we are free. And what freedom! The bittersweetness to let go, to find freedom from all we hold on to! The things we hold on to most are what keeps us from our increased union with Him.

"Oh, not that, Lord! Oh, do I look at your crucifix and see You letting go?" You held not one thing back. Your arms open wide, nailed to the cross! Total surrender!

What does He ask of me today that I want to hold on to? Holding on to things stops my freedom. To be totally free, I must let go. I cannot hold on and let go at the same time. Freedom is obtained in letting go. See yourself with your arms tight, holding on to all you possess.

Jesus: I call you to surrender. Open your arms as I did when I died on the cross. Let all your sacred worldly possessions drop around you and you will experience the joy of being free, united only to Me, of letting go and knowing that I, God, tend to your every need. To My death on the cross I loved you and I love you this way this very day. Let go and give it all to Me. I will care for you far better than you could for yourself. I am God and I love you more than you can love yourself.

Jesus is dead, hanging on the cross, arms outstretched. His feet are not even on the ground. He is hanging by nails on a piece of wood. What do we hold on to? He wants us in midair in total surrender. Oh, little ones, how you squander your possessions. How you hold on to people. How you won't let go. See Me in total surrender.

I gave My very life for you. What do you hold on to, My little ones? Little bits and pieces you give to Me and you hold tight to your lives. They will be up in smoke and all that will remain will be the things of God. Not one pair of shoes do you take with you, only your love, given to God and others.  end of March 10, 1994

3. R. They gave to Him a heavy cross that they put on His shoulder. So heavy that it felt as if His shoulder would break through to the ground. He could not remove it. As He tried to walk, it became heavier and heavier. He could scarcely move. It was so heavy that He fell under it!

4. R. See His Mother! She carried Him in her womb as an infant. She watched Him at play. Simeon told her of the sufferings that she and Jesus would suffer. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary. She watched Him all through His life. Now Her heart, the heart of His most loving Mother, watched Him as He fell under the cross and she could not lift a hand to help her Son. Think of how it is when you see your own child suffer, how your heart is torn in your chest. Now see through the eyes of Mary as she watches her beloved Son fall under the weight of the cross.

5. R. And Their eyes peered into one another's. How her heart knew the Heart of Jesus. She shared all of His life with Him. He looked at her and saw her reddened face with tears and saw her suffering. There is such intimacy between Jesus and Mary, the Two Hearts that are so full of love for each one of us. In that peering look is this oneness between these Two Hearts, the Hearts that love us so much.

6. R. Mary appeared to me. I saw her most sorrowful face. See through her eyes as she looks at her beloved Son on the way to Calvary. See through her eyes. Helplessly, she stands by. She could hardly stand up, so weakened by what she had encountered. She sees her Son, but what she wants us to see through her eyes is the love that He has for each one of us. Put yourself in Mary's heart. Look out through her eyes and see Jesus' face covered with blood, the crown of thorns on His head and the cross on His back. He fell three times. Jesus could barely get up as they poke at Him, kick Him and holler at Him. She watched this. Helplessly, she could not lift a hand. See through her eyes, for it is through her eyes that we will realize more and more His immense love. Mary calls today and begs us to spread this love throughout the world. We have the greatest product in the world to sell: the love of God! She pleads strongly with each person here to pray to the Holy Spirit. Pray for the fearlessness that the apostles received when the Holy Spirit descended upon them, for Jesus is calling each person here to go out into the world and be His apostle and spread the love of His Most Sacred Heart. Souls will be lost because they did not know His love. It is up to us to become one in Him, to busy ourselves about our union with Him so that He can operate through us to a world that is hurting and in pain. Jesus wants us to love the souls He died for — Surrender. Jesus sends us as soldiers into the world and our arms are our hearts filled with His love to minister to this sick world the most powerful medicine that there is, Love — To be instruments of God's love! Not to focus on the negative aspects of this world, but realize that we are being called, that this is our mission to go into the world and spread His love to the world, by telling others of the Good News.

7. R. They stripped Him! Total surrender all through the Passion, all the way to His death on the cross when He spread His arms and held nothing back. He asks us to die to selfishness that we might live more and more in Him for He truly is Life!

8. We see Jesus’ surrender.
    What happens when we try to control what we can’t control - it’s a big problem, that can’t be resolved, we feel.
9. Surrender to God.
    We can think we have nobody, but ourselves to depend on, that is wrong.
    We need to let go of self.
    We are not alone in the world. We can lie to ourselves: we are alone and then become bitter at the weight we put on our shoulders.
10. They made Simon of Cyrene help Jesus carry His cross. We can think we are the only one who can sustain us, this is wrong. We have Jesus, we have others, we have Mary, our Mother and our Heavenly Father who loves us.
Trust in the Sacred Heart.
 

The Crucifixion

1. Mark 15: 24-38

Then they crucified him, and shared out his clothing, casting lots to decide what each should get. It was the third hour when they crucified him. The inscription giving the charge against him read, ‘The King of the Jews’. And they crucified two bandits with him, one on his right and one on his left.

The passers–by jeered at him; they shook their heads and said, ‘Aha! So you would destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days! Then save yourself; come down from the cross!’ The chief priests and the scribes mocked him among themselves in the same way with the words, ‘He saved others, he cannot save himself. Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, for us to see it and believe.’ Even those who were crucified with him taunted him.

When the sixth hour came there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ‘Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?’ which means, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ When some of those who stood by heard this, they said, ‘Listen, he is calling on Elijah.’ Someone ran and soaked a sponge in vinegar and, putting it on a reed, gave it to him to drink saying, ‘Wait! And see if Elijah will come to take him down.’ But Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. And the veil of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.  

2. Song: A Song from Jesus

3. We must put our faith in God. Jesus loves us so much, He died for us!!!
4. Find that inner place where we know oneness with God in our hearts, there, strengthening us.
5. We need to be healed of destructive survival tactics, to know old defenses are not needed, (to be on guard).
    We know we can feel the pain and get healed, not use old addictions to deny the pain and push it down.
6. Look at the pain Jesus endured for love of us to pay for our sins.

7. We need to stop our bad thinking patterns, run-on destructive, fear-running thinking.
    We need to stop thinking we should try to isolate and control everything.
    Think of Jesus’ surrender to the Father’s will.
    We need to be able to feel childhood pain or wounds in our heart and use it as God wants.
    If we allow ourselves to feel the pain, deep in our heart, we can move out of it and heal, rather than using an addiction to bypass this kind of pain.
    Look at Jesus in the passion.
    Look how He suffered.
    We can’t shut down our feelings because of a dysfunctional home in childhood.

8. The Pain - Naples, Florida - June 26, 1995

R. He spread His arms, He gave His all, Jesus, the Son of God, the greatest sacrifice, He gave Himself entirely for the good of all men. He opened His arms, He died on the cross.

    His arms were covered with blood, His arms so weak and filled with pain, wounded. His arms, the pain shot up His arms and the final blow to each arm a nail through each precious hand.

    All the agony He experienced, all the pain, and the crown, to each arm, a nail hammered into the hand.

    All the nerves cut and severed by the nail, the pain shooting up His precious arms, the final blow given to His most precious members.

    The legs that carried Him, that carried the heavy cross, the legs that were forced and cajoled, that continues to Calvary - the legs weakened, skinned, bleeding, beaten, burned, the legs that knew patience and perseverance, the legs connected to a sore foot that was rubbed and gashed and bleeding, the members of Jesus, filled with such pain and exhaustion, now is crowned with the final glory. The nail that was driven into the foot, the pain shot up this already weakened leg, covered with blood and wounds and pain, the final blow, the nerves severed by the hammered nail.

    A blow to each hand, a blow to each foot, a blow to the head, a stamping that pressed down and continued in excruciating pain.

Jesus: They numbered all My bones. They gave Me vinegar and gall to drink. They gave Me a cloth to wipe My blood-covered flesh.

    What did they give to Me? Love is giving, My dear ones. How many of you are wounded when you are not given things by your brothers you love?

    My members were in such pain, the pain shot up My arms. My legs were so weak I could scarce move them. I was filled with pain within them.

    To all who watched, they saw a man, weakened and covered with blood and wounds. They did not see the pain inside that shot up My legs and arms, the nerves inside My body that sent signals of deep pain to My central nervous system. They did not see the nerves inside sending pain signals everywhere.

    The final blow being to each hand and foot, the severing of My nerves by the blunt and rusted nails.

    An arm extended. A final blow. I beheld a nail pounded into My hand and the pain shot up My arms, unbearable to a human mind.

    Do you know of the pain within My body? Signals sending messages of deep pain everywhere. I knew all of these sufferings in the garden. So great were the sufferings to My mind, I sweat blood.

    My flesh was covered with wounds. My arms were stretched from their sockets. My body was beaten and bleeding, every inch of My body covered with deep wounds. But, My loved ones, you miss the depth of My love. My wounds were so deep, but the final wound, the pounding of the nails in My hands and feet, a severing of the nerves, an ending of the deepest pain, to experience even deeper pain, beyond your human comprehension, it was done to the Almighty God, a Divine Person, I suffered the final blow to each member.

    The pounding in the hands and feet, the crown to each member, and they numbered all My bones. My nerves a network of pain running throughout My entire body.

    The pain within the body, the pain recorded in My loving head, the pain sent by a network of nerves in My body, now records the final blows, the nails in the hands and feet, the pain being recorded from every thorn that pierced My skull, every gash to My body, the pain, the pain, the pain - a network of signals and pain, running through My body and the final hour, the pains recorded on the cross, arms outstretched - a surrendering to all pain. I surrendered to a body laden with pain.

    You focus on your little problems, your little aches and pains. You discuss them and show the world your pin pricks and sufferings.

    Do you want to know holiness and love? They gave Me vinegar mixed with gall. This was their offering. They gave Me a cross. They crowned My head with a crown of thorns.

    This, My dear ones, is suffering, My beloved souls, I gave My life for and this is their return.

    A severing of My nerves, the final blows to all the aches and pains recorded in My nervous system. This was one of the final blows - the rusted nails pounded into My hands.

    You will feel little aches and pains in your hands and feet to remind you of this message. Your understanding of the immense pain within will deepen. What was visible to the eye on My battered body was nothing compared to the pains within. I gave My all. I gave My insides, My mind, My Heart, wounded for the love of men.

    All functions in the body were stopped.

    The final curtain, blood and water pouring out from My Heart, show that all functions of the body had ended.

R: All signals that carried messages of immense pain had ended, the final act of surrender for God to die to this human body and surrender His flesh.

Jesus: And end, a beginning, the water and blood flowed from My Heart, the beginning of My life in the Church, life flowing into your spirit.

R: Come give me life, abundant life. I thirst to be with Thee.

Jesus: My blood was spent. My human flesh and blood offered as the sacrifice, the sacrifice of Calvary is now made present at every Mass.

    An end, a beginning, and the grace and life flow through the sacraments in the Church. My life flows to you in the Mass. Mary, the Mediatrix of all grace, stands by the side of the altar and the grace flows from the Father, through My body offered up as a sacrifice in the Holy Spirit, given through the Mothership of Mary to you in the Church.

    You stand under the cross with My Mother and you receive the gift given, My Body, My Blood.

R: Man is reconciled with the Father through the Divine Person, Jesus Christ, and you receive His life poured out to you as Calvary is made present in the unbloody sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

    Do you feel the graces poured out to you at this sacrifice of the Son of God at every Mass? Do you feel the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory? Do you feel united as one at the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present upon the altar through the priest? The priest who now puts on Christ and through Him the dispenser of this life given to man.

Jesus: Oh, My beloved ones, love so dearly your priest. Give him such reverence. He is the chosen instrument of God and you treat him with such ordinariness. You are so blind and so dumb in your ways.

    And they numbered all My bones. Each nerve carrying a message of My love of mankind, each member in My Church carrying a special message, all united as one working in harmony according to the Father's will, each carrying a message of love to one another.

    The body is many members, you are the messengers of My love. Christ is the head. The message does not flow as it should when some are cut off from the Head.

    They nailed My hands and feet and My nerves were severed by the nails, such pain, undescribable in words, the severing of My nerves from the body, the severing of many members from the body of Christ.

    My Body given for all on the cross, the network of nerves within carrying the messages of My love to all mankind. My body covered on the outside with blood and wounded, the pain recorded within.

    Your Church, covered with blood on the outside, the slaughter of innocent babies, the homosexuality, the sins of the flesh, the members that have severed themselves from the source by their sins, but the pain is carried in the nerves inside. The blood of the Lamb shed for each and every soul, the real pain carried within. The life is weakened in your Church because the love of God is so weak in many members. The messages of love are not being transmitted as they should be. Your body shows the wounds, but your pain within is the root of the problems. The pain is from the messages of love that are not being transmitted.

    Unless you seek to fill your priests and sisters with the fire of God's love, fill their hearts with burning love for God, your Church will continue to show the marks of the blood shed without. I give to you these letters as a mighty medicine for this world, directed to make men's hearts burn with love of God and love of one another. The rosaries are meditations and messages given from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

    These messages will make men's hearts burn with fire for love of God.

    You have ignored the importance of these letters.

    I send to you the mighty medicine to heal a hurting world.

    My priests and religious need these messages. The love of God will be transmitted to the Church from these messages when you circulate these letters.

    The devil has blocked the minds of men involved in these messages because of their importance to the world and the Church.

    I am speaking to you Fr. Carter to help to get these messages published and circulated as soon as possible. I give to you a mighty medicine for a sick world.

    Read St. Thomas Aquinas about the medicine for the sick Church.

    You know what these messages have done for you. I am Jesus. I give to you the mighty medicine for a sick world, for a sick Church, rosaries and letters from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

    Your Church shows the wounds of bloodshed, abortion, homosexuality, sins of the flesh, murder of little children's minds with sex education in Catholic schools and you hold back the gifts of God's love I am giving to the Church and this world.

    My arms were weak and wounded but the final blow as the nail put in My hand. It severed the nerves.

    The final blow is the bloodshed in the Church, the slaughtering of children's minds in Catholic schools. My children are pure and innocent. They are not being taught messages of God's love, they are being taught messages of sick sex and coldness.

    Men's hearts have turned cold. They have been severed from the life of the body. The body is decaying from within. Only with the love of God enkindled in men's hearts will this bloodshed stop.

    I beg you to publish and circulate these messages in the Church. I am Jesus. I am giving you the mighty medicine for the world. Your body wears the marks of the bloodshed, only with messages of My on-fire love will it stop.

    Mary leads you to Jesus. Never is she the end. The Father has a plan. Mary's messages have led men and will lead men to Jesus. Satan has tried to stop all efforts to publish and circulate these messages. I am the Almighty God. The funds will come when you circulate and publish these messages and rosaries under the Shepherds of Christ Publishing. I am working with Fr. Carter and Rita as messenger to renew the Church and the world. Each messenger has a very vital role in the Father's plan. The significance of these messages are being overlooked. You are not studying the messages as a whole and their content. There are five unpublished Blue Books and more than four Rosary Books which I and My Mother have given to this world in the last 14 months. I have also given 15 songs of My love. I am begging you to see to the recording and publishing of this music. I beg you to listen. This is the mighty medicine for the Church and the world to draw men to the burning love of Jesus. Please harken to My call. I will send you the money. You must study and read these messages. This is a fulfillment of Fatima - these messages were given to bring priests to the burning love of Jesus. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.

9. Children in dysfunctional homes can learn - love is dangerous and not trust loving others, themselves and God.
    How can someone prepare for heaven if they refuse to love because of wounds in the past?
10. Love is the giving of self, for the good of the other. We are here to do God’s will, living in love.
    A safe was sealed tightly, safe and thrown in the sea.
    When it was retrieved 40 years later it was still sealed.
    A person can seal their hearts shut as children and 40 years later still be just as sealed shut.
    How can you have relationships that work, without God, with a closed heart, where you fear love, relationships?

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.’

Sing: Why do we Hurt the Ones we Love

R. Mistakes can help us grow. To refuse needed correction is to not grow.
We have to accept our faults and try to die to them, to rise to new life.
There was a dirty bucket of water, nobody ever cleaned it, it became more corrupt as time went by.
Jesus gives us the Blue Books and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to help us grow.

We are a work in progress for Jesus, He loves us.

Jesus came a baby.
Jesus is the New Adam.
Jesus teaches us perfection.
Jesus teaches us perfect love.
Jesus came our teacher.
The Father sent Jesus to teach us.
Teachers know more than their students if they are good teachers.
