December 31, 2005
Messenger: God of sweetness and love, I long for You
and to be ever in Your refuge. That which I
know of Thee is real and my heart lies in this
valley of tears seeking You ever deeper.
Your love is reflected in so many others
as they answer Your call of sweetness and love
and so many hold back seeking in this world -
in human relationships only that which You can give.
By the fact the body was created as You
created it, we know it soon becomes
like an old car and starts to wear out so
it is not to be around on this earth forever,
but our hearts of love never die and all
our happiness and joy move on to be more
filled for all eternity in You.
Oh sweetness, my beloved, if I did not know
You and Your ways and what is to come with
life eternal in You, my heart would be
an empty wasteland, but in all my
love relationships here, it is Your light
and Your love that fills me as I interact
with others filled with Your life.
For it is perfection in Thee I seek and
Your beauty in others I know. With eyes
unveiled I taste Your love in others, I
see Your good works in them, I know
such oneness in the embrace of Your
love alive in us all and I long by Your
letters of love to tell the world about
You and Your infinite love given to us all.
Love is why we were created, with this
deep capacity to love and give and be one and
taste ever more the sweetness of the
reality that You exist and are alive in us.
My body at times feels as a time
bomb as I watch others I love go
from this life to You and yet all that
makes sense to me is how vulnerable You
created our bodies so they would last
only a short time here and then we would
pass to Your loving arms forever.
But the struggle of good and evil is
there, for You give us this time to learn
to love You and one another and like passing
ships in the night on a dark sea — none of
us have the answers to Your mysteries and
yet You reveal to us Yourself in these revelations —
Your letters of love, the secrets into Your
Divine Mysteries, You tell us the traps set
by the evil one in a way no one has told
us of his snarly patterns and so many fail to
see Our Lady of Clearwater or Your
face as You appear to all — heralding
secrets for us to see with eyes unveiled
as you write about Your hidden mysteries
and the working of satan in our lives.
So many nights I have spent with You
and mornings in Mass and after Mass enough
to know more and more how Your mysteries
unfold before me and Your pleasures of
my heart I seek — to know You and embrace
Your faithful love given always to me.
Oh the beauty of morning and the light to
my soul of the Eucharist — the taste of
Thy Divine Love You impart to me and I
see more and more why all is useless if I
do not love.
The angry hearts may surround me and yet
in the wisdom You impart to me — all is
useless if I do not forgive and love in return
as You live and love through me, in me —
Your presence permeates my being —
You live in me and give Your light to this
world as You love through me and minister
to those who are hurting. To forgive is Your
way — to love is to be likened to You.
Why learn to love if I fail to give that
love to others — as Your mysteries unfold
to me, I seek You, I want You, to taste
the gift of the Eucharist — to know
You, to feel pain and to be comforted by
the light of Your presence within me
and Your undying love for me.
I live for Thee —
I long for Thee —
I love the perfection of Your embrace —
The gift of Your generous Heart —
The smell of the roses to know the
perfection of my beautiful
mother —
Smelling roses in the funeral parlor —
so strong when I was five and then all
my life as a child a bitter-sweet-sickness
to smell roses —
until I was about the age of my mother's
death - 48 - to know Mary as she appeared
to me as the Lady of Light — beaming and
so beautiful, my eyes seeing light I
never knew existed, watching her come and
go as she did those 14 months daily to
then see her the lady clothed in golden-
rainbow light on all the 5ths —
Oh God Your beauty is beyond measure
of our limited vision and when you impart
to us the mystery of Your love found in
these Blue Book writings — our feeble
minds are so far from understanding
the real scope of Your love, we
almost cannot take it in as reality -
that the Divine God loves us so deeply
with this infinite - all perfect -
Divine Love.
I am, but a little creature here below —
one created by God to love Him and all others and
my days are limited and my vision so
limited to know the Divine God and
His ways —
Oh endless days of eternity —
nights that are no more — the breathe
of time beyond measure to our
feeble minds —
Impart to us Oh Holy Spirit vision
to reach beyond the stars in the black
night and the sun of the blue skies and
the clouds of the storms, the vision
of rainbows we can never touch —
to the reality of the heavens, the
embrace of the Divine God — the
concept of fullness of life in Him —
endless days — the rapture of a
heavenly embrace — the oneness
of Divine Love and our
union with the Divine God and all
the saints —
The great abyss of heavenly
love ——
As we sail the seas of this life —
our voyage — first a little shining boat
and like a new captain — we become
expertise at this love thing here below,
but our old boat is the only one we get
for this life and yet our knowledge of
steering on the waters of love become
like the calm seas in a torrential storm.
Could it be God is calling the old
captains home in these hurricanes
because the young captains have lost
their way many times — the sea of love
is our mission — the boat gets old —
no matter what we do to preserve it, but
the knowledge of the high seas, steering
on the mysterious seas of love -
never dies, the old captain loses his
boat, but his know-how and his
love knowledge never dies — he
becomes a captain of a boat beyond
the seas of this world — he goes to
the invisible sea to our eyes of heaven and
his boat of love is like none of this
earth.
Oh God impart to us the mystery of
love and why we were created for Thee —
to love Thee and all our brothers,
angels and saints forever —
We may be able to build space ships and
cabinets on this earth, but it is with the knowledge
of love is where we will be working
for eternity —
School us God in the ways of
love for our eternal job, when
so many focused on all the things
of this world, they failed to see the
old boat would soon die and the
only things that would last forever
were the ways of the heart.
Jesus speaks: A man went
out and went to school for
80 years and he learned a trade, at
age 81 he died a sudden death and they
all said he will never use his trade.
A woman focused on the ways of
the heart for 80 years, at age 81 she
died and she took all her knowledge
and love with her.
Build up your lives for heavenly
treasure, see with the eyes of
God, when the evil one comes and tempts
you to be unloving, greedy, lustful,
don't give into him — he wants to
carry you off with the pleasures
of the world —
I have given you insight into the
Divine Mysteries in My letters of love —
meditate on Our lives as We teach you
in the Rosaries from Our Hearts —
Mary and I have taught you about
love. Mary is the highest human person,
I am the Divine God, We write to
you that you can meditate on Our
lives and Our love — We write to you
from Our Hearts —
We love you so much —
Our Hearts are Hearts of pure love —
The people of the earth have tainted hearts
We write to you of Our pure love
to teach you — the ways of pure
love in the rosary.

love.

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.
-God's Blue Book, December 27, 1995
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.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994
A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.
Prayer for Priests
Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, we pray that in the great love and mercy of Your Sacred Heart You attend to all the needs of Your priest-shepherds throughout the world. We ask that You draw back to Your Heart all those priests who have seriously strayed from Your path, that You rekindle the desire for holiness in the hearts of those priests who have become lukewarm, and that You continue to give Your fervent priests the desire for the highest holiness. United with Your Heart and Mary's Heart, we ask that You take this petition to Your heavenly Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen

But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees they got together and, to put him to the test, one of them put a further question, ‘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.’

L
ET US LOVE THE TWO HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARYHE GAVE HIMSELF TO US ON THE CROSS. HE GIVES HIMSELF TO US IN THE EUCHARIST.
How great was the act of love, God gave to this world, when He gave Himself and died on the cross. He gives Himself to us this day in the Holy Eucharist.
The greatest commandment is that we must love God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being. This is a commandment. If we are to enter heaven, we must follow the commandments. They are commands given by God for us to follow.
The greatest act we can do on this earth is an act of loving God. The reason for our existence is to love God. In the sacrament of His greatest love, He gives Himself to us. This is an act of love on His part. We are called to respond by giving ourselves in love to Him.
This is the purpose of the Holy Eucharist: to unite in such oneness with our Holy, Loving God. Our all consuming passion should be that of loving God. How many go to the Eucharist with the sole purpose of giving great love to God? He wants us to love Him. He wants souls to tell Him how much they truly love Him. This is the most intimate act of love when Jesus gives Himself-Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity to man. If it is such an act of love, how are we receiving Him in Communion? We should beg God, in this most intimate union with Him, to help us to love Him with greatest love.
Jesus is a Person. He wants our love. The Holy Spirit wants such intimacy with us. Our Father wants us to love Him. In the Eucharist, we unite with God. In this intimate act of uniting with our beloved God, with Divinity, we must pour out our love to God. We must pour out our heart to the most adorable Heart of Jesus. Jesus is so unjustly treated by many of His beloved souls He loves so much. Let us help make reparation to the Almighty God by loving God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being in the sacrament of His greatest love. This is the Gift of Himself.
Think of how it is to love someone and give your all for that person, to pour out your heart to him or her and then be treated with coldness and neglect. It hurts our heart so much more when we deeply love someone to be rejected by that person. Jesus loves us with the deepest love. We cannot fully comprehend this love. Let us love Him with the deepest love. Let us love Mary and her Immaculate Heart. Let us love her as the Mother of God. Let us love her as the virgin who bore the Son of God. May we, in the reception of the Eucharist pour out our love to Him, to this adorable Heart. May we pour out our love to His Holy Mother.
Mary said at Fatima that Jesus wants His Heart venerated next to the heart of His Mother. Let us love these two Hearts as we receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Then we are so deeply united with God. We see Their two Hearts surrounded with thorns for the injustices against Their Hearts. Let us help make reparation daily as we receive Him in the Eucharist. This is a special time to help make reparation to Their wounded Hearts.
Let us remember how He poured His love out to us on the cross and how He pours out His love to us now when He gives us Himself in the Eucharist, the Eucharist which contains His Heart of burning love. His Heart was pierced with a lance. Her heart was invisibly pierced with a sword. As the wounds in Their Hearts are deep, so too is Their love so deep.
He does not want "surface love". He wants hearts filled with deep burning love.

Jesus speaks: I am God —
I give you these revelations —
the world is hungry for
My revelations —
Jesus wants to share His love with you. He comes in these letters to tell you how you can be in intimate union with Him.
All of us possess everything we need to have an intimate union with Him. He has written to me since October of 1991. For at least a year I sat in front of the tabernacle and begged him to talk to me. I wanted words. I prayed to the Holy Spirit and begged and begged Him to baptize me. After a long and seemingly endless search, trying to hear God, He told me to "feed the hungry." For six weeks this was all I heard. I thought maybe I wasn't feeding my children well or eating well enough myself. What a long wait for three words! At long last one day, as I was writing to Jesus, I received a letter back. He told me, "I am Jesus, Son of the Living God." I did not want to write this but it kept coming-and so many other messages. I knew nothing of anyone getting messages. I wrote them, reluctantly, and hid my notebooks. The letters kept coming-a lot in the night-and I would be awakened by long letters which I felt compelled to get up and write down. I read these letters privately and my life began to change. I felt a new life within me.
He taught me of His fervent love and how truly present He was. He taught me how precious I was to Him. Over and over again He would call me His precious child and tell me how He loved me, how He clothed me with dignity and honor. He told me over and over how He was right by my side always. He is teaching me to give up all fear and to trust in Him. He is teaching me to let go of myself and let Him run my life. I am trying every day to do His will.
He is also telling you in your heart all you need to know. He has all the answers for you there in your heart. You must be silent and go to Him so you can hear His words for you.
Sit in front of the tabernacle and be with Him. Sit and be open and just be with Him. Read these letters there. These are Jesus' love letters to you. Sit in front of the tabernacle and let Him talk to you. Sit silent awhile. Read these letters part of the time. Open any page and He will talk to you. Do not read this like a book, cover to cover. Just open to a page and read that page. That is the way He speaks to you.

December 13, 1994 - Tuesday
Messenger: Mary appeared as if she was going to cry.
What is the depth of Jesus' wounds — they were pierced to the other side.
What is the depth of the suffering to His precious Heart. We cannot imagine, there is no depth to His suffering.
December 14, 1994 - Wednesday
Messenger: Mary was so beautiful couldn't talk for 10 minutes when she appeared.
December 16, 1994 - Friday night
Messenger: They passed out meditations
Mary was so beautiful — she was real most beautiful appearance I saw, I ever saw
December 16, 1994 - Friday night at home
Messenger: Jesus appeared as my Jesus of Mercy
December 17, 1994
Messenger: Oh my Jesus, How I love you, I love you.
I love you, I love you, my heart cries out for you, for deeper, deeper union with you, union that will never end, to be with You in Your most intense presence, never ever to end, oh my beloved, Jesus, how I worship, how I adore, how I love You with my whole heart, my whole soul, my whole being.
How I love so intently Your most beautiful Mother, my dear Mother, my Queen, my sweet and pure Mother and I love the Holy Spirit who is so dear, He penetrates my very being with His life inside me.
I love so dearly my beloved Father, He who is all good, He who created me, little me, with such love. Who am I that He bothers to love me so much.
Oh I cry for this tremendous gift of sharing in His life and love, I am in awe and tears to know this God in all His Might, just a little. To know Him a little is to be overwhelmed and filled with such emotion for He is truly God. He dwells among us.
Jesus Christ, the Son of God is here this day, totally present to me in the tabernacle, no less present than the day He died on the cross, no less present than the day Mary carried Him in her arms.
I am overwhelmed by the greatness of God. At His name we feeble creatures should bow and give to Him such tribute. He is the Master, He is for all generations the Almighty God, one, true, magnificent and omnipresent here and in my midst, my heart is overwhelmed with emotion and shouts of jubilation to this our God, to His greatness, to His mercy and His love. For He is one, almighty, powerful, adorable, loving God.
My beloved God, all three Persons with Mary by my side, I am overwhelmed with it all.
Messenger: Fr. Carter took these letters very serious. He discerned them and was very careful to preserve the words of Jesus. Others pressed on him sometimes trying to get him to do it their way. He did not comply to people's wishes.
Here is a message from Jesus.
December 17, 1994
Jesus: Bow and bend low to He who is mighty. To HE WHO IS TO BE WORSHIPPED AND PRAISED. I AM YOUR GOD, I AM HE WHO IS THE LORD, I AM THE ALMIGHTY GOD. I write to you this day with the greatest love. If you change words here, you change My words. I am writing to you My beloved one, listen or not, it is your loss, you are blind, you do not hear. You do not listen, you do things your way. You change words in My letters, I write with emotion. My words are My words. I am He who writes here this day. Harken to My call to take Me seriously. I AM GOD, I WANT TO BE HEARD. The deaf do not hear, the dumb do not speak. Give your ear to these messages for I am truly speaking here, but the blind to not see and the deaf do not hear. You do your own wills, you do not open to the Spirit among you. I am the almighty God, I can rock this earth. I ask and I plead, I am not taken seriously, I write to be heard. To alter My letters is to alter MY Letters. I ask you to be My special servants to deliver these messages. You are My dear beloved ones, I want these messages to circulate as I write them. To change My words to alter My words displeases Me. Fr. Carter is helping with all these letters. Special editing to please the public is not to My liking. I am writing with such emotion to alter the word, so much, is to alter the letter. I beg you to take Me seriously. To change words to please the reader is not publishing the letters as they were received. I ask you to once again, realize, I am Jesus, I am speaking here, these are not Rita's letters, these are My letters, these letters are from Jesus Christ, the Son of God, I love you dearly and ask you to help Me circulate My letters of love as I have delivered them.
December 17, 1994
Messenger: Realization of little boy Jesus how she looked at Him and knew what He would suffer - broke her heart every time she looked at Him.
Passion and wounds, bare back - wounds on Jesus, thorns, nails, hands and feet - want to cry - I love Him so much.
Keep hearing I'm not going to be around long. Don't know what that means. All I care about is my children, worry about them.
December 17, 1994
Messenger: If my life is short, all I have to worry about is loving and drawing as many souls to His love.
Live to inherit the kingdom of heaven.
Time is so short, live only to get to heaven and lead others to go there.
God Bless you, I love you.
From the words of the MassDecember 17, 1994
I Saw Mary and Jesus
Messenger: 10 days all through the passion - I was there heard the blows, saw Him hanging on the cross, heard the wind blowing, heard sounds of night.
How deep is the wounds in His hands -
He humbled Himself to share in our humanity.
By the mystery of this water and wine may we come to share in the divinity
of Christ, who humbled himself to share in our humanity.
Saw Mary Friday.
Saw Jesus.
If we see Jesus in one another we realize how we are all one in Him. We receive His body in the Eucharist, this oneness is so enhanced after communion.
Sing: One bread, one body
Messenger: We are one body in Him.
There is such oneness between Mary and Jesus, as I grow in my union with her - I am more united to Jesus because she is so closely united to Him.
We are one body, we must see in each others eyes the Jesus that is living within. As I saw Jesus' eyes in a lady at church and a priest and Fr. Carter.
Look into your brother's eyes. The eyes —

Glorious Mysteries
Sing: Oh Holy Mary
The Resurrection
1. R. Jesus' lifeless body was locked in the tomb and on the third day He arose as He foretold.
2. R. Jesus loved us so much. He died for us. He rose to give us new life.
3. R. Some women came to the tomb, among them Mary Magdalene, and when they got to the tomb the stone was rolled back.
4. R. Mary Magdalene was weeping and Jesus appeared to her.
5. R. Jesus told her to go and tell the others.
6. R. This is the same Jesus who died on the cross. His body is now glorified. His wounds were glorified wounds, His hands, His feet, His side. He appears in His brightest white. He is triumphant. Death has no power over Him. He is triumphant! He has risen from the dead.
7. 1 Corinthians 15: 54-55
And after this perishable nature has put on imperishability and this mortal nature has put on immortality, then will the words of scripture come true: Death is swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?
8. R. Death has no power over Jesus.
9. Sing: A Song From Jesus
10. Jesus said:
I am the resurrection.
Anyone who believes in me, even though that person dies, will live,
and whoever lives and believes in me
will never die.
Do you believe this? John 11: 25-26Song: Come Holy Spirit
The Ascension
1. Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28: 19
Luke 24: 45-47
He then opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, ‘So it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that, in his name, repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
2. You cannot have forgotten that all of us, when we were baptised into Christ Jesus, were baptised into his death. So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too should begin living a new life. Romans 6: 3-4
3. Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven. Luke 24: 50-51
4. R. And Jesus raised His arms and He ascended into heaven.
5. R. This is the glory of this mystery: that Jesus Christ truly ascended into heaven. The Apostles were in such utter amazement as they watched Jesus and a cloud took Him out of sight.
6. They worshipped him and then went back to Jerusalem full of joy; and they were continually in the Temple praising God. Luke 24: 52-53
7. but when the completion of the time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born a subject of the Law, to redeem the subjects of the Law, so that we could receive adoption as sons. As you are sons, God has sent into our hearts the Spirit of his Son crying, ‘Abba, Father’; and so you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir, by God’s own act. Galatians 4: 4-7
8. R. Jesus calls us brothers. He took the nature of a man and now, God, ascended into Heaven.
9. R. Think of the fear in the Apostles' hearts and think of their hearts to see their Beloved Jesus go. He whom they loved so dearly. He whom they were so close to. He taught them; He was with them. He who was God and now He ascended into Heaven.
10. R. With greatest love for each one of us, Jesus remains with us this day in the Eucharist. He gives Himself to us in His Divinity and humanity; no less present than the day He ascended into Heaven; the day He was carried in Mary's womb; and the day that He hung on the cross to His very death.

Descent of the Holy Spirit
1. John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’ Acts 1: 5
2. R. Filled with such fear after Jesus ascended into Heaven, the Apostles locked themselves in the upper room.
3. When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. Acts 2: 1-3
4. R. The Holy Spirit transforms us more and more into the image and likeness of God. The Holy Spirit transformed these Apostles who were full of fear to fearlessness to go out to preach the gospel. And they were not afraid; they were fearless.
5. R. Dear Holy Spirit please we beg you to fill us with the fire of God's love. Move inside of us, to lead us ever closer more and more to the image and likeness of Jesus. We want to be close to the Father. Through baptism we are given a special sharing in God's life.
6. Sing: Come Holy Spirit
7. R. Mary, our beloved Mother, lead us ever closer and closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Dear Holy Spirit transform us more and more into the image of Jesus.
8. R. Holy Spirit pour out to us Your gifts so that we may more and more have wisdom and knowledge and understanding. Help us grow closer to Jesus, our Beloved Savior, to the Father, and to You, our Beloved Holy Spirit.
9. R. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit dwell within each one of us in a special way when we are baptized and in the state of grace. Please take the blinders off of our eyes, Dear Holy Spirit, so that we may see with more vision, clearer, the vision of God. Please work inside of us and help us to know the fire of God's love, this burning love of God inside of our hearts so that we may further join in deeper union with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit and to be ever closer to Mary our Mother.
10. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves. Acts 2: 4

The Assumption of Mary into Heaven
1. R. Mary was taken body and soul into Heaven.
2. R. On this special feast day of the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God, we thank you, our Beloved Mother, for being here with us always by our side, for mothering us as you mothered Jesus, and we ask you through Your Immaculate Heart to draw us ever closer to the Most Sacred Heart of your Precious son, Jesus.
3. R. Mary is sinless and all pure — her heart is pure — and it is more in modeling ourselves likened to Mary that we will become closer and closer to be like Jesus.
4. R. Mary remained on the earth many years after Jesus' death.
5. R. Imagine her joy to go up to heaven, to be with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit in heaven. The Father is her Father, the Son is her Beloved Son, and the Spirit is her Beloved Spouse.
6. Song: Immaculate Mary
7. R. Hail Mary, full of grace! Thank you O Mary you are Jesus' Mother, we love you.
8. R. Mary, how your heart knew the Heart of Jesus. How you, through your whole life pondered and studied His ways. Lead us through your most tender and Immaculate Heart to the Heart of your Beloved Son. Place us ever so gently in His Heart so that we can be joined in such tender intimacy with Him.
9. 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.

The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth
1. Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Revelation 12: 1-2
2. R. This truly is the Mother of God, the Mother-Mary. Mary was Mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, born a little baby in the town of Bethlehem. Jesus is the Savior of the world who came to save us from our sins. Mary always complied to the will of the Father to show us how to live, to show us how to love. In this rosary teach us how to meditate on the love of Mary and Jesus, to meditate on Their lives. To meditate on the love that They have in Their Hearts. Both of Their Hearts were pierced. Mary's heart was pierced with an invisible sword. Jesus' Heart was pierced with a lance. Jesus loved us so much. Jesus died for us. Jesus rose to give us new life. Jesus ascended into heaven. Mary was taken up into heaven. Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. Jesus is the King of Heaven and Earth.
3. Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary
4. R. We are here to know, love and serve God.
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; 1 Corinthians 2: 9
5. R. And Jesus watches us, every second He watches us. And Mary forever walks by our side to guide us to our home, which truly is our home in heaven.
6. Song at funeral: May the Angels
7. Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong here.’ John 18: 36
Listen, my dear brothers: it was those who were poor according to the world that God chose, to be rich in faith and to be the heirs to the kingdom which he promised to those who love him. James 2: 5
8. R. Jesus wants to be so close to us here in our lives. He wants to lead us ever and ever into His Most Sacred Heart. It is through Mary's Most Immaculate Heart that we are placed in the tender Heart of her beloved Son.

The Seven Sorrows In Honor of Our Blessed Lady
1. The Prophecy of Simeon. 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— and a sword will pierce your soul too—so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.’ Luke 2: 33-35
2. The Flight into Egypt. After they had left, suddenly the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother with you, and escape into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, because Herod intends to search for the child and do away with him.’ So Joseph got up and, taking the child and his mother with him, left that night for Egypt, where he stayed until Herod was dead. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: I called my son out of Egypt. Herod was furious on realising that he had been fooled by the wise men, and in Bethlehem and its surrounding district he had all the male children killed who were two years old or less, reckoning by the date he had been careful to ask the wise men. Then were fulfilled the words spoken through the prophet Jeremiah: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamenting and weeping bitterly: it is Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted because they are no more.
Matthew 2: 13-183. The Loss of the Child Jesus. R. Joseph and Mary had lost Jesus in the temple and Their Hearts were in such great sorrowing.
4. Jesus and Mary meet on the Way to the Cross. R. See Mary and Jesus as Their eyes meet on the way to Calvary. Such intimacy between the two Hearts; the love, the knowing, the oneness between these two Hearts. It is through these two Hearts that we will gain closer union with God. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.
5. Jesus Dies on the Cross. R. Jesus shed His Most Precious Blood on the Cross. Jesus is truly the Savior of the world. Mary, in great love, lived with Jesus. Mary was taken up to heaven, but she remains forever by our side. Jesus died for our sins. He rose to give us new life. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.
Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
6. Mary receives Jesus' lifeless Body under the Cross. R. Into her most loving arms is placed the lifeless body of her Son Jesus. His battered, bruised and bloodied body without a breath in His body, is placed in the arms of His Beloved Mother. She held Him at His birth. She held Him under the cross.
7. Jesus is Placed in the Tomb. After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus—though a secret one because he was afraid of the Jews—asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave permission, so they came and took it away. Nicodemus came as well—the same one who had first come to Jesus at night–time—and he brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, weighing about a hundred pounds. They took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, following the Jewish burial custom. At the place where he had been crucified there was a garden, and in this garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been buried. Since it was the Jewish Day of Preparation and the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there. John 19: 38-42
Rita stated that at the beginning of the rosary Mary was appearing so close to us. Mary was extremely illuminated especially at the beginning of the rosary and at the end. Marty also saw Mary appear.
Rita and her two children and Marty were present.
