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

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

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

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

Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

1. Luke 1: 26-38

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?’ 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. And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God.’ Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her. 

2. The Angel Gabriel told
    Mary - be not afraid.
3. Sing song: Be Not Afraid
4. Mary is perfect
    handmaid of the Lord.
5. Mary loved the will of
    God.
6. Again we see order.
    Eve wanted to be equal
    to God, disorder
    entered the world and
    with this came sin,
    disorder, disease,
    disobedience to God,
    disorder in animals,
    men,
    chaos, confusion,
    rebellion against God.
7. Mary is the New Eve
    perfect handmaid of
    the Lord.
8. Jesus is the New Adam.
9. When we give our
    hearts to Jesus and
    Mary and live doing
    God’s will - there is
    harmony.

10. Sing: See the Eyes That Look at Mary

The Visitation

1. Luke 1: 39-45

Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could into the hill country to a town in Judah. She went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. 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. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.’ 

2. Luke 1: 46-55

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because 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,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

3. Mary always did the
    Father’s will.
4. Order. God wants His
    order to be the order.
    Authority is in families,
    in the Church.
5. St. Augustine says:
    Peace is the tranquility
    of order.
6. We see the terrible
    consequences because
    Eve disobeyed God’s
    order.
7. We see the terrible
    consequences when
    King Saul was bitter
    after he did his own will.
8. We see Judas was
    working behind Jesus’
    back and he had
    terrible consequences.
7. Disobedience to
    God’s will is like a knife
    we turn on ourselves.
    Disobedience to God
    has terrible
    consequences in the
    end, if not before.
8. God created us, His
    creatures to be
    obedient to His Laws.
9. Mary served God,
    Mary is our Model,
    Mary is Mother of
    love!!!
10. Sing: Immaculate Mary

 

The Birth of Jesus

1. Luke 2: 8-14

In the countryside close by there were shepherds out in the fields keeping guard over their sheep during the watches of the night. An angel of the Lord stood over them and the glory of the Lord shone round them. They were terrified, but the angel said, ‘Do not be afraid. Look, I bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. And here is a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.’ And all at once with the angel there was a great throng of the hosts of heaven, praising God with the words:

    Glory to God in the highest heaven,

2. Jesus came a baby,
    He is the Son of God.
3. Many men live to rule.
    King Herod wanted to
    put the Christ child to
    death, so he could rule,
    so he murdered a lot of
    babies.
4. Satan is a fallen
    angel, he wants to rule.
5. Jesus is King of
    heaven and earth.
6. 3 Kings came to pay
    Jesus homage.
7. In the bitter passion they
    mocked Jesus as King,
    they crowned Him with
    a crown of thorns, they
    spit on Him, they gave
    Him a dirty purple robe
    and scepter.
8. The devil hates
    anyone giving love to
    God.
    The devil wants to rule!!!
9. Jesus is the Son of
    God, Jesus came a
    baby. We are under
    God.
10. Jesus gives dignity
    to babies. Jesus shows
    might as a little child.
    Jesus is Messiah.

    Jesus is Savior.
 

The Presentation in the Temple

1. Luke 2: 21-24

When the eighth day came and the child was to be circumcised, they gave him the name Jesus, the name the angel had given him before his conception. And when the day came for them to be purified in keeping with the Law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord—observing what is written in the Law of the Lord: Every first–born male must be consecrated to the Lord—and also to offer in sacrifice, in accordance with what is prescribed in the Law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons. 

2. Jesus was taken to
    the temple as a baby.

3. Sing: Little Baby Hands and Feet

4. Simeon prophesied
    the sufferings of Jesus
    to come.
5. A sword, too, will
    pierce your heart, Oh
    Mary.

6. A Prayer for Union with Jesus

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
 

7. 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.

8. Mary suffered invisible
    wounds to her hearts.
    Mary said yes to all the
    suffering and she kept
    doing God’s will,
    despite the suffering.
9. Mary and Jesus
    endured the suffering
    to the bitter end, in
    doing God’s will.
    Jesus paid for our sins.
10. Jesus endured the
    bitter passion, so we
    could be forgiven,
    Jesus paid for our sins.
    Jesus knew the anxiety
    in the Garden, He sweat
    blood.
 

The Finding in the Temple

1. Luke 2: 41-52

Every year his parents used to go to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up for the feast as usual. When the days of the feast were over and they set off home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem without his parents knowing it. They assumed he was somewhere in the party, and it was only after a day’s journey that they went to look for him among their relations and acquaintances. When they failed to find him they went back to Jerusalem looking for him everywhere. 

    It happened that, three days later, they found him in the Temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and asking them questions; and all those who heard him were astounded at his intelligence and his replies. They were overcome when they saw him, and his mother said to him, ‘My child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your father and I have been, looking for you.’ He replied, ‘Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?’ But they did not understand what he meant. He went down with them then and came to Nazareth and lived under their authority. His mother stored up all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature, and in favour with God and with people.

2. Mary and Joseph
    could not find Jesus for
    3 days.
3. Think of Mary and
    Joseph’s anxiety, they
    looked and returned to
    Jerusalem.
4. They did not find Him.
5. Mary suffered so much
    invisibly to her heart.
6. Mary: I ask you to
    carry your crosses and
    offer them up.
    Suffering is suffering.
    Jesus suffered so
    much, so you could
    have new life.
7. Mary: Honor God and
    love God, thank God,
    know your place, you
    are under God, my little
    children, identify your
    suffering with His.
8. Jesus: My way is love
    and obedience to My
    Father, you are
    creatures, God the
    Father is Creator, you
    are under God, that is
    order.
9. Jesus lived the quiet
    life except for this
    mystery until He was
    30. Jesus lived His
    public life for 3 years.

10. Song: Give me your Heart, Oh Jesus
