Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

Jesus: With a most tender heart open wide your hearts and let Me fill you with My abundant grace. I am outpouring to you great gifts at this moment.

1. Song: Hail Mary Gentle Woman

2. R. Let us make this rosary a gift of love from our hearts that we give to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. How Jesus longs to hear the words from our lips that we love Him! Jesus is waiting and longing for us to come and to tell Him of our love. Jesus says how few souls come to Me and tell Me of their love and I am longing and waiting to hear them speak these words from their hearts. Think of Jesus here, present in the tabernacle. Jesus is a Person. God loves us so much. Empty our minds of distractions and do God's will. Dear beloved Jesus, let us unite with you in the deepest union.

    Let us focus on the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit within our graced baptized soul, and as we unite deeper to You, let us give to You deeper love. You are the Almighty God, You are worthy of all our love. Let us think of the magnificence of the Almighty God and think of how small we really are, that God loves us so much. He is treated with such unworthiness, such indifference, and neglected by so many of His creatures that He loves. We pray to unite in deepest union with You that we can say with all of our hearts, I love You Jesus, I love You, Jesus. You, who are the Almighty God, deserving and worthy of all of our love.

3. R. Adam and Eve sinned against God. God promised to send a Redeemer. This is the love that God has for His creatures that after the offense of Adam and Eve, God sent His only begotten Son into this world that we could be saved.

4. R. Let us experience the mysteries of this rosary in our hearts. Let us envision the angel as the angel comes to Mary. Think of how Mary felt when the angel came. How Mary felt to be chosen to be the Mother of God. How do you think Mary felt?

5. R. We are so anxious and so worried about all of the events and the little details of our lives. Let us look at the lives of Jesus and Mary and meditate on how They lived.

6. R. Mary, always complied to the will of the Father. Mary said yes to the angel. Mary followed the will of the Father for she loved Him with such tender love. The Father had a plan. Mary was chosen to be the Mother of God.

    The windows in this chapel are part of the Father's Plan. The Father has told me that each window is part of His Plan. When I walk in the chapel the windows come alive to me for they show us the lives of Jesus and Mary in the rosary. The rosary is such a great gift, given to us, for we grow more and more in our relationship with Jesus by meditating on the lives of Jesus and Mary in the rosary. His life becomes alive in us - when we look at the window depicting the Annunciation, we can envision ourselves there, and we can see the angel appearing to Mary - how important this mystery is in the course of Salvation History! Let us ask God for the grace to feel in our hearts these mysteries of the rosary, to love the events in the life of Christ and in our lives, and to act as the Father wills us to act in doing His will in love.

7. Song: The Angel Gabriel

8. Luke 1: 35, 38  The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God. ...  Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’

9. Song: O Holy Mary

R. Who are we that God loves us so much that He came to this earth, incarnate in the womb of the Virgin Mary? Who are we that God came in the womb of a human person for love of His creatures? God is love. We do not even understand minutely the love that God has for us but if we can meditate on the fact that the Almighty God came within the womb of Mary, a human person, we may understand a little more how much God truly loves His creatures and Mary became the Mother of God, a human person, the Mother of God! Mary espoused to the Holy Spirit and the Child Jesus was formed within her womb.

10. Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.

 

Song: O Holy Mary

 

The Visitation

R. Mary made haste to the hill country to be with her cousin Elizabeth who had conceived a child in her old age.

1. R. When Mary and Jesus arrived the child in Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy at the presence of the Almighty God in Mary.

2. R. The Child Jesus was formed in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Mary is our spiritual Mother, given to us as Jesus hung high on the cross. He gave Mary to us - Mary the Mother of our Christ-life. Jesus was formed in the womb of His Mother through the power of the Holy Spirit. We are formed in the spiritual womb of our beloved Mother, through the Holy Spirit, more and more into the image and likeness of God. As we are formed more and more into this image and likeness of Jesus, we are led closer to the Father.

3. R. A baby in the womb is secure, they are dependent. There is such security there. Let us go to our spiritual womb, the Immaculate Heart of our beloved Mother and let us feel this security as we know that Mary, our beloved Mother, loves us with a most personal love and Mary cares for us for our every need. As we dwell in Mary's heart, Mary places us in the Heart of her Son, Jesus. It is in dwelling in Their Hearts that we will be secure against the terrors of the night for dark days are coming. Mary tells us of the dark days, but the refuge is found in dwelling in Their Hearts. We dwell in Their Hearts. We pray to be saturated more and more with His life in us. We are strengthened against the terrors of the night.

4. Luke 1: 41-44  Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, ‘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.

R. If we were there and Mary came and visited us with Jesus within her, we would be in awe, but Jesus visits us each time we receive the Holy Eucharist. Jesus comes to us and He dwells in us and I hear Him call out and He calls out and calls out to me, "tell them, tell them, that I give Myself to them and they leave after Mass is over." These are the special moments of greatest intimacy with Him. We unite with God truly present. God gives us great knowledge of Himself. He outpours His love abundantly and this deep, deep intimacy. We hear in Mass: Through Him, With Him, In Him!

R. Be one in Him: one, one - how intimate is this oneness that God wants with us that the Almighty God wants to be one in us! Closer than we can be with any person, God wants this oneness, that we identify with Him in such oneness that in our every breath and heartbeat we unite as He operates through us in this world today. In the windows in the chapel Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth. Mary goes to tell one person.

    Across from these windows are the Glorious Mysteries and we see the Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles. Christ came to this earth. Jesus walked the earth. Mary told Elizabeth the good news. Jesus ascended into heaven and left behind the apostles to carry out His work. Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit and the Word became Flesh. The apostles were filled with the Holy Spirit in the Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the Virgin Mary. They no longer were filled with fear and thoughts of themselves. Who was first? They were filled with fearlessness and they went out to preach the Gospel. We are His apostles this day that He is sending out especially in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to spread His love to this world that is suffering and in pain.

5. R. Let us thank the Almighty God for the visits He gives to us when He comes into our hearts and unites with us in the Holy Eucharist and let us tell Him with all our hearts those words that He longs to hear from our lips: I love You, Jesus, I love You Holy Spirit, I love You My Father!

6. R. In telling our beloved God of our love for Him, He gives us great gifts for we feel His love deeper and deeper in our hearts.

7. R. Jesus, we adore You. We are thirsting for You. How we love You!

8. R. It is within the womb of the Virgin Mary that the Sacred Heart of Jesus was formed. The Two Hearts of Jesus and Mary, within the body of Mary - this is the intimacy between Jesus and Mary. As we meditate on the mysteries of the rosary we see this closeness between Jesus and Mary. If we can understand the closeness that Jesus had with His Mother, who is a human person, we can understand more how much Jesus loves us. Let us, at every Communion, make reparation to the heart of our beloved Mother for all of the blasphemies against her as Mother of God, as the Immaculate Conception and as a Virgin.

9. Hail Mary
10. Hail Mary

 

The Birth of Our Lord

R. The Child Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem, surrounded by the beasts of the earth and above His head a star shone brightly.

1. Jesus is the Light of the world yet this world is in so much darkness and Jesus cries out to us from the tabernacle to come for He is outpouring His abundant grace and His love and so few hear the call. Mary calls, "come to my Son in the Eucharist for He is there and He is waiting for you with such graces." But how few hear this call. We are given great graces in this rosary from the Heart of Jesus. Let us unite closer to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Let us open our hearts and ask Them to come in and unite with us so deeply.

2. R. Let us meditate on the fact that God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son. Jesus came into this world and took on a baby's body. Realize that Jesus came into this world in a little baby body. If we can see Him hanging on the cross and realize more and more the immensity of His love, what have we to fear when He has all the power and He loves us this much!

3. R. Jesus is the Light of the world. We are the children of this light. Mary is our Mother. Let us walk in the way of the light. Let us unite in the deepest union with Him. For, to be united with Him is to have this light within us and this light is too mighty to be contained.,

4. R. The light shines in the darkness. We see the Child Jesus in the crib in Bethlehem, surrounded by little sheep - Jesus is the Lamb of God.

5. R. The lamb that was led to the slaughter for love of us. Our hearts are hungry and we are searching for that which feeds our starved souls. Only the love of God will fill our souls. We see the lamb of God and we see Him as He hung on the cross and I hear Him call out from the tabernacle, "tell them, tell them, tell them - I am waiting, I am longing and I want to be so close to them. I am giving to them great graces when they come to Me and sit with Me in front of the tabernacle. Tell them, tell them, I love them, I love them, I love them. Tell them every letter I write is from My Heart to theirs, to read the letters as a love letter from me to them. Tell them of My love."

6. R. I see Mary as she stands beneath the cross and I feel the pain of her watching her Son as He hung, and the pain in her heart for her little lost children in this world. They tell me, "tell them, tell them, tell them. Tell them the message is that Jesus is alive and He is with you this day. Jesus is truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the tabernacle here, no less present than the day He was in the crib in Bethlehem, no less present than He was in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and He is neglected and treated indifferently." I hear His words and I hear Him call out, "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive." He says, "Tell them, tell them, tell them. Unless the messages of His burning love are circulated in the Church and in the world, the blood shed will continue. People are hungry, not even knowing what they are hungry for. They will continue to murder babies, will continue to search further and further for that which will fill them when nothing fills the starved soul but the love of God" and I hear Him say, "My Heart is bleeding for I love, I love, tell them I love."

Song: God's Love

R. I see Him in the stable in Bethlehem, the Son of God, in a little baby body. This is the love that God has for us - He came in the womb of a human person, He was born a little baby. He hung on the cross, because of His love. I hear the Almighty God call out to me over and over and over again, "Tell them, tell them, tell them. This is the mighty medicine for this world." He is calling out to us. His messengers, to carry the message of His love, this Christmas, into this world, and people are so occupied with the red and green bows and Jesus calls out to tell them of His love. He say, tell the children of My love. Mary calls out, pray the rosary, meditate on the mysteries of our lives. When you think of the babies that are murdered in the womb of their mothers, and we close our eyes, I hear Him calling out, "tell them of My love."

7. "Unless the messages of My love are circulated in the Church, the bloodshed will continue."

8. Song: What Child Is This

R. Jesus was rejected at birth, the Son of God. He hung on a tree, covered with blood and He gave His life and He remains with us this day in the Tabernacle and He calls out, I am alive, I am alive, I am alive. He is rejected and forgotten. Let us make our Christmas gift to Him the gift of uniting our hearts deeper and deeper in burning love with Him for He says, "how few souls come to Me and profess their burning love and I wait and I long and I want to be so close to My beloved ones."

9. Hail Mary
10. Hail Mary

 

The Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple

1. R. Jesus was taken to the Temple. Simeon, the prophet met Mary and Joseph and foretold of the sufferings to come.

2. "A sword too shall pierce your soul, O Mary."  R. Mary holds the little baby Jesus in her arms and hears the words of Simeon, "a sword too shall pierce your soul, O Mary." From this point on, Mary had a constant ache in her heart for she knew of the sufferings to come.

3. R. The pain and the joy: Jesus Christ gave His life that we would share in His Divine life. We have the gift of baptism where we receive this sharing in His life.

4. R. As we meditate on the mysteries of the rosary we see the pain and we see the joy. We see that Mary's heart was invisibly pierced with the sword. We meditate on the seven sorrows of Mary. Mary held all of these things in her heart. Let us dwell in the heart of Mary - Mary's heart, that is pure and sinless, that we may know Jesus more, through Mary's heart. Mary, who loves Jesus, with a most pure and tender love. As we dwell in her heart, as we pray through Mary, let all of our actions, all of our prayers, bring us to know her Son more. "And she held all these things in her heart."

5. R. To know Jesus a little is to want to know Him more and more, to love Him more and more. The Father chose Mary from all women to be the Mother of His Son. The Father chose Mary to be the way that He sent His Son into this world. This was the Father's choice. Jesus told Lucia that He wanted His Heart to be venerated next to the heart of His Mother. When we realize more the immense love that Jesus has for His Mother, who was a human person, we realize more how dearly He loves us, His beloved creatures.

6. R. To blaspheme Mary is to not realize the immense love that God has for His creatures. Mary is the Mother of God.

7. From Tell My People

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.

 

8. Revelation 12: 1-2  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.

R. Mary comes and she appears as Our Lady of Light to us. We are the Children of the light. It is in meditating on Their lives in the rosary that we will learn to love God more and more. It is through the Hearts of Jesus and Mary that we are led to deeper union with God.

9. Hail Mary

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

R. Mary is the Mother of God. God the Father sent His Only Begotten Son.

Mary is conceived immaculate. To not recognize this is to not realize the magnificence of God. God could not come in sin. God, Who is all good, could not be conceived in the body of a person tainted with original sin.

"'Father,' he said, 'if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.'" (Lk. 22:42)

I see that God is all-powerful. I am a little piece of the puzzle. I am not the whole puzzle. My love of Jesus and the Mass is why I write this book.

Mary, conceived without sin, is the New Eve. Mary was made our Mother under the cross. Mary is the Mother of our spiritual life. I have felt the pain of Mary under the cross, the pain for her little, lost children.

Mary is the Mother of God. Christ took on flesh. Mary is the spouse of the Holy Spirit. She is Mary Immaculate. Jesus took on Mary's flesh and blood. To not love Mary is to not recognize His great love for us. We miss our own dignity and honor. Divinity and humanity meet in Mary.

There are five blasphemies against Mary. She has asked us to make the first Saturday devotion. Sr. Lucia ask Our Lord why there were five first Saturdays.

He revealed to her:

My daughter, the reason is simple. There are five types of offenses and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary:

1. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception.
2. Blasphemies against Her Perpetual Virginity.
3. Blasphemies against Her Divine Maternity, in refusing at the same time to recognize Her as the Mother of men.
4. The blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children indifference or scorn, or even hatred of this Immaculate Mother.
5. The offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images.⁴⁶

We must make the first Saturday devotion to make reparation to her, for the indifferences against her Immaculate Heart.

I can see the devil pushing man away from Mary! The devil knows that Mary is a link between heaven and earth. There is a great link between God and man in Mary.

We realize more the mystery of God's love for us when we see how God loved Mary.

Act of Incarnation: God unites to man. My greatest pain felt, lately, is under the cross.

Mary knows the great gift given from God to His creatures. She is our spiritual Mother. She experiences the pain of her lost children. She sees before her, her Son covered with blood.

Mary says it is because of pride they do not accept her. It is because of pride, some think Mary cannot be any higher than them. They do not recognize election.

In having this pride, many miss the great messages given from God. In having pride, we miss a major link between heaven and earth in Mary. It is the Father's will that Mary is our spiritual Mother.

We reach a deeper level in the spiritual life only in the heart of Mary. It is His will. She was chosen, sinless, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, and the Mother of God.

We can only go to the deepest chambers of the Heart of Christ through the pure and sinless heart of Mary. We are sinners. She is immaculate.

Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her [during her illness] by Mary:

"Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary..."⁴⁷

This last message offers us an excellent opportunity to summarize the Fatima message. It tells us "that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary."⁴⁸

Deep spiritual maturity cannot be achieved without going through the heart of Mary. Jesus came into the world in Mary's womb.

This is the Father's will: for His Son to come into this world, for His Son to be formed in her womb. God wants us to be formed more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus in the spiritual womb of Mary. Jesus wants us to grow in Mary's heart through the Holy Spirit to deepest maturity.

Many, in their willfulness and pride, deny the Mother of God, her Immaculate Conception, and the virgin birth. It is pride, for they do not want to recognize how much God loves Mary. They are proud and/or ignorant and will not recognize another creature higher than they are.

This is how it is: the Child Jesus, God-made-Man, was conceived in the womb of Mary. He was formed in her womb. To reach higher levels of spiritual maturity, we must dwell in the heart of Mary. We are formed there through the power of the Holy Spirit to be more like Jesus. We achieve depth in our relationship with God through Mary.

"And Mary said: 'My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord" (Lk. 1:46) All of us children unite in the heart of Mary. I see such oneness between all of us as we join in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We unite in the heart of Mary. She places us in the Heart of Jesus. There we are united with all Mary's children. He is the Light of the World. His Heart burns - a yellow glow with hot embers. Many are the children of the light. Mary is our Mother. She is calling us to be children of the light. She is Our Lady of Light.

It starts with you and me and with all His holy priests. As we consecrate our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we are one in Their Hearts. I give Jesus and Mary my heart, you give them your heart, we are one in Their Hearts. As the Shepherds of Christ Movement spreads throughout the world, we become one with each other as we give our hearts to Jesus and Mary. There will be one flock and one Shepherd. Father Carter is reaching the priests with the consecration in the priestly newsletter. He is reaching the sisters and religious with the consecration in the religious newsletter. He is reaching the lay people with the Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters for adults and youth centered in consecration of our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Notes:

In February of 1996, we began a new movement, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. In it people volunteer two hours a week in front of the Blessed Sacrament and pray for the renewal of the Church and the world. They consecrate their hearts bi-weekly in front of the tabernacle. We are all joined together to help bring the light to others. This is the center, Jesus in the Eucharist. It is for the renewal of the Church and the world.

Mary is now Our Lady of Sorrows. Her heart was pierced with the willfulness of her children. Her heart is in great sorrow at the loss of her children. She calls us to spread the light to this world, to light up the darkness, to come and be fed by the Chief Shepherd.

The devil has waged a war against the children of the light. Children of the light are richly fed with God's love, given abundantly by Jesus in the Eucharist.

This is the plan of Fatima to reach the world. Hearts must be consecrated to the two Hearts. Fr. Carter is reaching the world in the newsletter for priests, religious, and the associates. All are consecrating their hearts. The children must be reached through the Junior Shepherds of Christ Movement. Children need to consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The first Saturday devotion must be observed and spread from the Center.

The Fatima messages say, that the peace or war in our country depends on our consecrating our hearts to Mary. Children must be reached with the consecration. Satan is so strong.

The Father's plan will unfold. We must live according to the will of God with love. Every one of us is given such talents. God carries out the work of redemption through our humanity. We must pray to the Holy Spirit to sanctify us and make us holy.

This is what I suffered under the cross: the sufferings for the little, lost children. Mary wants us to make reparation to her heart. Mary told Jacinta, "Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary."⁴⁹ By recognizing her Immaculate Conception, we are recognizing the great dignity and honor He has given to Mary, a human person.

We go to the spiritual womb, the heart of Mary, because He wills it so. The depth of our union with Him can only come about through a deeper union with her. He wills it so.

The Father chose Mary as the Mother of God. The Father chose her, from all woman, to be Jesus' Mother. She is espoused to the Holy Spirit. Such dignity that God unites to her to bring forth a Son! If God comes to us in Mary's womb, we can go to God in Mary's heart.

In realizing the immense love God has for Mary, we can realize more His immense love for us in the Eucharist, to unite with us in such union. She carried Jesus in her womb. He is no less present in us when we receive Him in Communion.

Her soul magnifies the Lord. We see how our soul is raised to such heights through His grace. We, human persons, are raised to such heights in His grace. We are created to know, love, and serve Him. We can't leave out service. For, "...he has looked upon the humiliation of his servant. Yes, from now onwards all generations will call me blessed, for the Almighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name." (Lk. 1:48-49)

Father Carter talked about spiritual childhood: the more we become like a little child, the more the Father gives Himself to us.

God the Father: I am your Father. I will reach many souls through the Shepherds of Christ Movement and the Center. You are willful in your ways. My Plan will unfold despite the willfulness of many there. I am the Father. I have spoken to you before (January 95). Your resistance has continued. Your insistence to do your own wills is affecting the souls of many of My children. I call you to conversion in your hearts. You are so willful and selfish. You must pray to the Holy Spirit to sanctify you. He will make you holy.

Joyful Mysteries

Prayers began at 6:30

Jesus: O how dearly I love each and everyone of My precious children that have gathered in this room this evening. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. I love you with the most ardent love. Open wide your hearts and let Me touch you in a special way. My Mother and I are with you to give you messages of Our love and messages about Our lives. Open your hearts and you will be touched with My abundant grace. How tenderly I love you. I have called you, My sweet loving children. I am with you always, always. Do not fear, I will not abandon you. I am with you. Release all fear and anxieties. Let Me enter your heart in a very special way, in a very deep union, during the rosary. I long to love you and long for your love, given to Me. Tell Me from your heart how dearly you love Me. How this pleases Me so! I am Jesus. I love you, I love you, I love you. You are so dear to Me.

Song: Ave, Ave Maria

Jesus: Die to yourself My child and let Me work in you. Come and dwell in My Heart and the heart of My Mother and let the Holy Spirit move within her heart and transform you more and more into My image and likeness. As you are transformed, you will be led closer and closer to My Father. I am Jesus, I love you in a special way.

 

The Annunciation

R. God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son, Incarnate in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Think of the mystery that the Almighty God came into this world and took on flesh. This is the love that God has for His creatures, that He sent His Son into the world.

1. R. God-made man. Jesus, a Divine Person, with two Natures, a human nature and a Divine nature.

Song: A Song from Jesus

2. R. The Father loved Mary so much that He chose her from all women to be the Mother of God. Think of the great love that the Father has for the Virgin Mary. Mary was conceived without sin. God came into this world in Mary who was sinless.

3. Song: O Holy Mary

4. R. The angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary and told her of the plan that God wanted her to be the Mother of His Son.

5. Song: The Angel Gabriel

6. R. Mary loved the Father with the tenderest daughterly love. Mary lived her life wanting to please the Father. Mary said "yes" to the angel. It is in modeling our life after Mary that we too will try to please the Father in our every action, for we are children of the Father and it is in the dependency that we will grow deeper in our love relationship with God.

7. R. When the child Jesus was formed in the womb of the Virgin Mary the two Hearts beat in one body. Think of the intimacy from the first moment of conception for below her Immaculate Heart, the child Jesus rested with His Most Sacred Heart, within her body.

8. R. Why is it so hard for the world to see the importance of the Virgin Mary when the Father chose her from all women. What honor He gives to women that He chose Mary to be the person that God called to bring His Son into the world! So much is within Mary, let us dwell more and more in the Heart of Mary! As Christ was formed in her womb, she is our spiritual Mother and we are formed in her heart through the Holy Spirit to be more and more like Jesus.

9. Song: O Holy Dwelling Place of God, O Holy Temple of the Word

R. Mother of God, think that God loved His creatures so much that He chose a human person to be the Mother of His Son. Mary's title, "Mother of God", meditate on this, a human person, the Mother of God.

10. Song: O Holy Mary

 

The Visitation

R. The angel told Mary that in her old age her cousin, Elizabeth, too had conceived of a child and Mary made haste to the hill country to be with her cousin Elizabeth.

1. R. Mary, full of grace - for within her womb she carried the Son of God. Meditate on Mary, full of grace. Jesus came in the womb of Mary.

2. R. What of us? We were created to know, love and serve God. God gives to us a special gift in the Eucharist for He gives to us Himself. He gives to us a sharing in His Divine Life. In baptism He nourishes this life in the Eucharist and we receive the Son of God within us, no less present than the day that Mary carried Him in her womb as she went her way to Elizabeth. If we saw Mary, we would think, O, God is inside of Mary! How many times do we receive the Eucharist and we are not focusing fully on the fact that God comes to us in His Divinity and His humanity, no less present than when He was carried by Mary. We receive Jesus in the Eucharist - Jesus truly present!

3. R. Let us thirst for these moments that we spend with our beloved Mother in union with the Mass, when we receive Him in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus, so tender, so loving, longing and waiting for us to come and unite with Him in deep union during the Mass.

4. R. We see the intimacy of these first two mysteries of the rosary between Jesus and Mary, that Jesus was carried within the body of His Mother. It is in realizing this closeness between Their two Hearts as we dwell in the Heart of Mary and she places us in the Heart of Jesus, that we will be closer and closer in our relationship with God, that we will know the love of Jesus deeper and deeper through the pure and sinless heart of the Virgin Mary.

5. Song: Jesus, I adore you, lay my life before you

6. Song: Immaculate Mary

7. R. We hear Mary speak: I am the Immaculate Conception. R. Mary was conceived without sin. She carried the Son of God within her womb. Such dignity and honor God gives to the human race that He came within the womb of the Virgin Mary. Let us love Jesus through her pure and sinless heart as we pray. Let us unite to the Virgin Mary in every prayer that we pray and all of our actions pray and act through the sinless, tender, loving heart of the Virgin Mary.

8. R. Mary said that her heart is surrounded with thorns, and there are many blasphemies against her Immaculate Heart. Let us comfort her heart. Let us make reparation to her heart for the offenses against her title as "Mother of God" and as the "Immaculate Heart". Mary is the spouse of the Holy Spirit.

 Luke 1: 35

The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God.

R. Mary is our Spiritual Mother. We go to her Immaculate Heart and pray to be formed more and more in the image and likeness of God as the Holy Spirit works in this.

The Holy Spirit - From Tell My People

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.

 

R. We too will be formed more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus as we pray to the Holy Spirit that works within the heart of Mary to form us more and more into this image and likeness of our beloved Savior.

9. R. Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth and the child within Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy. Think of the abundant graces that we receive when we receive Jesus in the Eucharist and as we sit here before the tabernacle. This is a visit from Jesus. Let us thank Him for the great graces He is giving us at the present moment when He is touching our hearts in a special way and we are sharing more in His Divine Life! How we love

10. Song: A Song from Jesus

 

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.

 

The Birth of Jesus

R. The little Child Jesus, the Son of God, was born in a stable in the town of Bethlehem. There was not room for Him in the Inn. In such poverty, the Almighty God came to this earth!

1. R. Let us tenderly love the Child Jesus. Let us pray to Him and realize that He answers our prayers. Let us see Mary as she holds the Child Jesus and see the tenderness between the Mother and Child and pray to her and pray to the Child Jesus.

2. R. The long awaited time was here and Jesus was born, the Son of God on the earth. Jesus was not adorned in gold and silver. Jesus was not surrounded by mighty kings. Jesus came in a stable and was surrounded by the beasts of the earth. This is the Son of God, but above His head there was a star that shone bright to show that He truly is the King of all! The King of Kings, the Almighty God, comes to this earth out of greatest love for His human creatures. Jesus comes and is born in a stable.

3. R. Mother Mary, you are our prayer partner. As you cared for the Child Jesus, care for us in all of our needs and teach us how to pray that we may be joined closer and closer to the Almighty God.

4. R. Mary fed the Child Jesus with her milk. Mary is our Mother, our spiritual Mother. Mary mothers us as she mothered the Child Jesus and she leads us on our journey, our spiritual formation to the Almighty God.

5. R. We go to the Heart of Mary and we are joined to the Heart of her Son for her heart dwells in the Heart of her Son.

6. Song: What Child Is This

7. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

8. R. Jesus is laid in a manger, in the town of Bethlehem. Jesus died hanging on a cross. Jesus, the Son of God - this is the love that Jesus had for each one of us that Jesus, became man, that Jesus gave His life that we would share in His Divine Life.

9. Hail Mary

10. Hail Mary

 

Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple

R. Mary and Joseph took the Child Jesus to the Temple to present Him to the Father.

1. 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—

2. R. Jesus, the Lamb of God, the lamb that was led to the slaughter, that this day Jesus comes to us this day in the Eucharist, giving us His Body and Blood.

3. R. The sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present in the Mass. We unite to the Mass and pray to the Father. We unite to the Mass and offer all that we do, all through the day, praying to the Father. It is the greatest prayer that we can offer to Him.

4. R. Simeon, the prophet, was waiting to see the Messiah. Simeon told Mary that a sword too shall pierce her soul and from that moment on there was a constant ache in the heart of Mary for she knew of the sufferings to come.

5. R. Mary watched the Child Jesus at play. Mary was with Him all through His life, walking by Jesus' side.

6. R. How Mary's heart was pierced seven times: the seven sorrows of Mary. Mary lived her life with her Son, Jesus.

7. R. The Heart of Christ was pierced with a lance and blood and water flowed forth, water for baptism - blood for the Eucharist. Mary's heart was invisibly pierced by a sword. She is the Mediatrix of all grace. We consecrate our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

8. Mary: Let me tenderly caress you my beloved children. How I love you and want to lead you ever closer to the Heart of my Son. It is in dwelling in my heart that you will dwell deeper and deeper in the Heart of Jesus. How He longs and waits for you to come.

    I am Mary, your Mother. Listen to me. I call out and my call falls on deaf ears, for many are not heeding the messages that I deliver. I am giving this message to you. Come to my heart and I will lead you to the Heart of my Son. I love you. It is through you, my children of light, that you will light up this dark world. I am sending you into the darkness and you will help many know the light of my Son. I am calling. This is an urgent request to help my little children that are dying in their hearts.

9. Mary: I am asking you to help me to spread these rosaries, to spread the rosaries to all the world, to spread the rosaries to the adults and to the children. The rosary is a very powerful weapon against Satan. Satan is so strong this day, my dear little children. I am calling out to you. You must pray with all your heart. Do not be taunted by Satan. He wants to drive you away from my Son, Jesus. I will lead you ever closer to this burning love.

10. Hail Mary

     

Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple

Mary: We call out to you on the fifth day of the month to help to spread this movement across the world and to the children. I am Mary, your Mother. I am calling you to open your heart and help to lead many to me and my Son, to help all to consecrate their hearts daily to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I promise you, my little children, that there will be peace in this world, but many will suffer great trials and many will lose their souls. I am Mary, your Mother. I am calling. This is an urgent call for time is short. Many will lose their soul. Please – my little, lost children are suffering so in this world.

1. Mary: The murder of the children in the womb of their mothers, my dear ones, this is a crime, the slaughter of innocent babies in the wombs of their own mother!

2. Mary: The children that were taught about sex at such an early age, young children—five and six years old—what do I say? Many have closed their eyes!

3. Mary: How will little children know of the love of God? So many of the teachings that are being taught this day have turned to such evilness. I beg you from my motherly heart to reach the children, to be a mother to each child, to pray from your heart as you have never prayed before. Pray, my dear ones and reach the children, my little children. My heart bleeds for the children in America.

4. Mary: Children of wealth—given such good things and look how they act!

5. Mary: What more do I say? Many children will lose their souls. My Son is to be loved by the children. I am calling out to you to turn your hearts to love, to go to daily Mass and daily Communion. Die to yourselves and unite to the burning love of My Son, Jesus. At every Mass offer yourselves as a sacrifice united with My Son, Jesus. Pray to the Father and pray that you will be joined ever closer to the pure and tender Heart of my Son, Jesus.

6. R. Our beloved Jesus how we adore You and love You. You are the Almighty God, all worthy of all of our love. God created this vast universe and all of the creatures and look, look what man thinks - that he can take the life of a child, a life that God has given.

7. Mary: The darkness covered the earth and the light of the love of my Son was seen in the hearts of the children of the light. I am calling you to light up this darkened world, this world that has turned to sin. I am calling, I am pleading, I am sending out an urgent plea to help me to reach the children of America with the rosary and to go to the schools and to tell the children about the lives of Jesus and Mary.

    I am Mary, your Mother. The rosary is a mighty weapon against Satan. Satan prowls this earth looking for souls to devour. He is aimed at the youth, my little precious youth that do not even know of the love of my Son. Will you help spread His love to the little children in this world?

8. Mary: The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph but many souls will be lost. What you do with your life this day to help me to spread the message of His love will make a difference to this hurting world. Do not be fooled by the false peace that you see for underneath there is much turmoil. Look into the hearts of your youth—look into their eyes, go to the schools and watch the youth.

9. Mary: Tell the children about the Mass and the Eucharist. Tell them of my Son, Jesus, who is truly present this day. This is the healing that the youth need—to come to Jesus in the Eucharist, to come to daily Mass. I am Mary, your Mother, I am calling out to you, my beloved ones to help me to spread the love of my Son to the children of America, for many will lose their souls for their serious sins.

10. Mary: This is a rosary from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Will you help spread these rosaries to this world? Many do not even know how to pray the rosary. The rosary is a powerful tool to use against Satan. I beg you to help spread the rosary to the souls of America.
