    Do you know how I miss our time alone? Please come in the night, I wait and watch for you.

    Oh beloved of My dear Father, though heaven and earth pass away My words do not pass away ever, they live in your hearts.

    I am truly God. I am with you in this Holy Spirit Chapel. Let Him transform you into My likeness. Pray to the Holy Spirit. Sing songs of praise and thanksgiving, worship, honor and adore the God who loves you.

    Oh child, you will be raised to great heights in heaven. Highest joy and happiness. I am your beloved Savior, I love you so much. I never leave you.

In truth I tell you, till heaven and earth disappear, not one dot, not one little stroke, is to disappear from the Law until all its purpose is achieved.  Matthew 5: 18

Jesus:  My love never goes from you. Oh little loved one, you who need so much, you seek what you need in the wrong place. My love satisfies. I outpour to you a sharing in My life. You are missing such love I pour out to you My little beloved one.

  

 

December 1994

Jesus:  You look for your love in other persons and places and I am here second by second pouring out Myself to you. Oh little scared one, do not size yourself up, just love for Me.

    Love as if today was your last day to live. If you had only 24 hours to live how would you spend it?

    Oh little loved one, what are you doing that is keeping you from My love? You are finding time for other things. My child, I wait for you, I love you. Let go and live in My love.

                                                                I love you my dear
                                                                    little Rita.

December 22, 1994

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.   Excerpt from Tell My People

 

Messenger:  Mary appeared to me!

 

     

     

Messenger:  On December 23, 1994, I received the following rosary at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. I met Harold and his family.

Sorrowful Mysteries

 

Agony in the Garden

1. Messenger:  Be there with our beloved Jesus in the garden. Hear the sounds of the night. See Him as He kneels in such anguish, seeing all the things that are about to happen with His coming Passion.

2. And He cries out to His Father. Luke 22:42 " 'Father,' he said, 'if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.' "

3. Agonies of the heart...the greatest of all agonies. Jesus saw before Him the souls that He loved so dearly. Many souls would neglect Him and treat Him with such indifference.

4. The agonies He suffered to His Heart were so immense. The wounds in His Heart so deep.

5. He saw before Him all of His most beloved souls that would be condemned to eternal damnation despite all the sufferings that He was about to undergo.

6. His agony was so great that His sweat became as great drops of Blood upon the ground.

7. This is the reality: God runs the world. Jesus truly suffered for love of us. He gave His life and He suffered in the garden for all the sins that we are committing this day.

8. He saw before Him His entire Passion: the blows, the spitting, His death on the cross. He saw this. With greatest love of us, He endured the Passion to the end.

9. He was filled with such anguish and suffering that an angel of the Lord appeared to Him to comfort Him.

10. He waits endless hours in the tabernacle today. Jesus Christ, the Son of God in His Divinity and His humanity, waits for us to come and to be with Him. He said in the garden: Matthew 26:40-41 "He came back to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, 'So you had not the strength to stay awake with me for one hour? Stay awake, and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.' " Can we visit Him today in the tabernacle?

 

 

Scourging at the Pillar

1. Messenger: See Jesus as they tie Him to the pillar. He is God-made-man.

2. With anger in their hearts, they beat Jesus to the point of their own exhaustion.

3. Hear the sounds as they beat Jesus. They hit His precious back. Hear the blows over and over again as it tears at His flesh. Do you hear Jesus as He makes whimpering sounds? The men are filled with anger and hatred, and they beat Jesus with great force.

4. Do we have any idea what it is like to suffer as Jesus suffered for love of us?

5. How deep are the wounds that covered His entire Body as they stood by mercilessly and they beat Him?

6. Think of how Jesus suffered. Be there at the pillar and hear the sounds. See what He went through: their anger and their voices hollering at Jesus. He was mercilessly tied to the pillar while they struck Him, God Who is all love.

7. SONG: A Song from Jesus

8. SONG: Teach Me to Love With Your Heart (verse 1)

9. SONG: Teach Me to Love With Your Heart (verse 2)

10. SONG: Teach Me to Love With Your Heart (verse 3)

 

 

The Crowning of Thorns

1. Messenger: They pounded a piercing crown of thorns into Jesus' most precious head.

2. They put a dirty purple robe on Jesus and they sat Him on a throne. They mocked Him and they spit on Him, and they hollered ugly slanders against Him.

3. SONG: God's Love (verse 1)

4. SONG: God's Love (verse 4)

5. He is truly here with us, and His Heart is ablaze with love that radiates for us. We are His beloved ones. He withstood all this torture so that we might have eternal life, so that He might have the deepest union with us. And some day, if we go to heaven, we will be forever united to Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit in such close union that will last forever and ever and ever. He shed and gave His last drop of Blood for love of each one of us.

6. SONG: A Song from Jesus

7. He is present in the tabernacle with such love for each one of us as He had the day they crowned Him with thorns and poked Him and spat on Him. He is with us this day, no less present than the day He was scourged and crowned with thorns. He loves us so much. He shed His Blood and gave the last beat of His Heart.

8. Hail Mary.....

9. Hail Mary.....

10. Hail Mary.....

 

 

Jesus Carries His Cross

1. Messenger:  He carried His cross on His most precious shoulder. The weight was so heavy that it felt as if His shoulder would break. He did not give up His cross. When the weight was too heavy for Him to bear, He collapsed under the weight of it.

2. SONG: Under the Weight of the Wood

3. Jesus traveled with His cross on His back. His Heart was in such anguish for all the souls that would reject the grace for eternal salvation that He would merit for them.

4. Jesus is our focus. The more we are drawn to the immense love of this most Sacred Heart, the more we realize how He is truly alive this day. He loves each one of us. We will experience the peace, the joy, and the love that He wants us to have. We will be His lights shining in this world.

5. He has DIVINE LIFE and DIVINE LOVE in His most Sacred Heart. He outpours HIS LIFE TO US. He merited this grace for us by His death on the cross.

6. As His Mother walked along side of Him on Calvary, she walks along side of each of us. She never leaves our side. She withstood all this suffering. She knew what it was like to suffer. She did not take anything to relieve the suffering and she did not leave His side. She withstood such suffering, standing by His side. She stands by our side as we walk our path, which sometimes seems like a slow Calvary. But Mary is by our side with such love. She gives us her maternal love. She mothers us as the most perfect Mother. God the Father chose Mary as Mother of Jesus and us.

7. When our path is so hard we must realize Mary is always with us. It is God's grace that will get us through.

8. Jesus' grace is sufficient for every trial that you are experiencing this day. We must go to Him, go to His most Sacred Heart through Mary's Immaculate Heart. Mary leads us to Him. He is Love.

9. SONG: Little Baby Hands and Feet (verse 1)

10. SONG: Little Baby Hands and Feet (verse 2)

 

 

Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross

1. Messenger:  See Mary as she holds the tender feet and the tender hands of the Child Jesus. And see her as she sees them nail His precious hands and feet with big nails into the cross.

2. How deep are the wounds in Thy precious hands and Thy feet, oh Jesus? How deep, oh Jesus, are the wounds to Your Heart? You suffered so for souls. Oh precious Jesus, fill our hearts with Your divine love and Your divine grace so that we may never wound Thy Sacred Heart with indifference, with neglect. Fill us with Your divine life so that we will always be drawn to the source of real life which is only found in You. I am sorry for all who neglect you in the Holy Eucharist.

3. You gave Your very flesh, You gave all the Blood in Your veins. You spread Your arms and You gave Your all for love of us, dear Jesus. And this day, You give Yourself in Your Divinity and Your humanity, with greatest love, in the Holy Eucharist. Help us, dear Jesus, to be deeply aware that you are truly the Son of God and that when we receive You, we receive God in our hearts.

4. SONG: A Song From Jesus

5. You ask us to love God and love one another. You were beaten for love of our brothers. Why can't we love our brothers? You call us to love as You loved us. You call us to give our lives for our brothers.

6. Oh Mary, as you stand under the cross, how deep is the anguish to your Heart? You have no wounds, you have no scars. You're supported by your beloved John. And this day you walk by our side and you support us as we walk what seems to be a Calvary sometimes. You forever walk by our side and hold us up with such motherly love. You gave Jesus such love as you stood under His cross. Thank you, Mary, for the love that you outpour to us.

7. SONG: I Love You Jesus (verse 1)

8. Let us see, Oh Mary, through your eyes, the love that your precious Son has for us. Let us be joined ever closer to the tender Heart of Jesus through your most Immaculate Heart. Jesus gave the last drop of His Blood and the last beat of His Heart for love of us.

9. SONG: I Love You, Jesus (verse 2)

10. SONG: I Love You, Jesus (verse 3)

end of December 23, 1994 Rosary meditations

    

  

December 23, 1994

Jesus:  I gave, I gave, I gave. When you love you give, you do not hold back, you do not build a wall to fortify the self, the focus is always on the other. Seeing with My eyes, feeling with My Heart. I give Myself to you this day. I am with you.

    I gave Myself, I showed you the way. Mary went to the hill country to visit her cousin Elizabeth. My Mother was carrying a child, but she went to help Elizabeth, total giving. She gave her life, she gave her body, she gave herself for the other with her great love.

    A heart of love - GIVES, do you give or do you hold back. Christmas is the time of My love given to you. Mary's love given that she brought forth her beautiful infant and laid Him in a manger.

    Giving and love, when Christmas Day is over, remember the Christ Child. I gave myself to the world so that you would have eternal life. I humbled Myself and became a man for great love of you. Oh dear little hearts, how you are loved by My Father and the Holy Spirit. How Mary and I love you. Soak in this great love being outpoured to you today.

    Come with a pure heart, a heart free of any resentments or anger, let go of hurts, take the walls down around your heart. How can I get in if you are holding walls around your heart to protect you from others that may hurt you.

    I will never hurt you. I died for you. I was born in the womb of Mary. I took on a little baby body for love of you. Let go of anything holding you back from a pure heart.

    Open wide your gates and I enter in with My Heart open and on fire for love of you. I am Jesus the Lord, your beloved, come to give you My great love this day. Let down your walls, I will sustain you, I will protect you, the Holy Spirit will transform you into a heart likened to Mine. I will take you to the inner sanctuaries of My Heart. Go to My Mother and be united to her love, she will lead you ever closer to My Sacred Heart.

    Little one, little one, how you search for such things when I have for you a Heart of Divine love to fill you. I give to you a sharing in My life. I give you My Divine love. Let it penetrate your being. Draw ever closer to My beautiful Mothers' heart and My Heart, We are the Hearts of such love. Ready and waiting for you.

    Tender, tender love, waiting for you. I love you so much, My beloved ones.

  

  

December 23, 1994

Messenger:  Mary teach me to be a mom like God wants — My mom died when I was five — I am always learning to be like Mary — Mary help me to love like you love Jesus and all souls.

    I smelled roses when I was 5 the whole time in the funeral parlor. I always remembered the roses.

 

 

December 23, 1994

Mary:  Every time you thought you were alone I walked by your side. As I walked by Jesus on Calvary, I walked by you all through your little life, all through your adult life.

    I walk by you, I am standing by you now my little love. Feel the presence of your most loving Mother. From this day forth you will know what it is to have your mom by your side.

    As I held Jesus so close to my heart, I hold you ever close to me. I tenderly caress you and love you with the dearest motherly love.

    I am your loving Mother. The more you realize my tender love that I have for you, the deeper you will love Jesus, with tender love. He is the tenderest of all Hearts. He loves you with such tender love.

    But I, my little child, how I love you with the deepest maternal love. I have forever cared for you and loved you. I am your loving mother. This day you will forever blossom and bud forth more and more — blooming. You are my beloved daughter.

    I will lead you tenderly to my Son. I am Mary your loving mother and thank you for responding to my call.

    As I watched all the sufferings of my beloved Son, I stood under His cross and watched my child hang and die. I will not abandon you, I stayed with Him. This was the most bitter heartache.

   

    I stood under His cross with full awareness of what was happening. I did not take any pain medication, I stood there and I withstood the heartache. When your heart aches remember how I endured all the sufferings. Through God's grace you can endure your trials. If I could withstand such anguish, you with God's grace can withstand your trials.

    Focus on your Father's love for you to give His only Son. Focus on Jesus' love for you to give His life. Focus on my love for you and how I forever stand by you, always with you, I never abandon you.

    You have a loving Mother, always by your side, as I stood under Jesus cross and endured all of this suffering, I walk with you, I never leave you and I hold you up as John held me under Jesus' cross.

    Mother you, I do. I mother you, I love you, I call to you to come to my motherly heart so that I may lead you to the Heart of my beloved Son.

    Oh little loved child of mine, you have a mother. I am Mary your Mother. I stand by you today.

  

  

December 23, 1994

Messenger:  After the consecration, I had a strong realization of Him receiving blows at the pillar. My stomach and my heart ached. I could hear noise and hear His grunt. I felt as if I could feel His wounds. I wanted to get so connected to it. I sat down after communion and felt like I could get totally lost in His wounds and knowing His love for me and for us. Head down, I wanted to go somewhere and be lost in His passion. I wasn't thinking about the passion at all and all of the sudden I could hear Him getting scourged at the pillar. I wanted to cry and buckle in, go off somewhere and be alone with Him.

    Same as when I saw wound in His hand when praying the rosary with Fr. Carter.

    Today prayed rosary with Fr. Carter afterwards — I prayed and was so close to Jesus, felt as if I could go off — I had an ecstasy in church this morning.
