From God's Blue Book 8:

  Sorrowful Mysteries

September 1, 1995

 

The Agony in the Garden

1. R. Feel a peace in your heart. Let go totally to Jesus, Our Savior and feel what’s in your heart, a calmness, and a peace. To open your hearts to be alone with Jesus, and to spend this time drawing ever closer to His burning love.

Song: I Love You Jesus

2. Jesus: Many are called but few are chosen. I have called you to be close to Me, to come to My burning Heart and to know My love deeper and deeper within your breast. Surrender and feel My presence with you.

3. Jesus: The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in your graced baptized soul, My dear ones. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within your breast. Do you know the presence of the Almighty God within you? Do you know what great gifts I am giving to you that I live within you? Do you know what great gifts I am giving to you that I live within your breast? Go into the inner chambers of your heart.

R. Focus on your heart, focus on this whole room within you and feel the presence of God within you. Feel His light within you, His love, the burning feeling this love. Feel the vibrancy of the life of the Almighty God and meditate on His passion, His suffering, His death, the price that He paid that we would share in this life abundantly. Do we appreciate this great gift that we are given? As you meditate on the sorrowful mysteries think of the sufferings that Jesus suffered for love of us.

4. Jesus: The seeds of time move exceedingly slow and the hearts of men are hard to change. I am calling you as My special soldiers to go into this world and to let Me fill you and operate from you in this world. I will change the hearts that have turned to stone. I will touch them with My abundant life, My beloved ones. I am calling you to a great mission. A mission to go into the world and to be Christ to one another - to live the Christ-life in this world. I live in your hearts. Focus on the inner chamber of your heart and feel My presence, so vibrant, so alive within you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I am longing in this rosary to unite ever deeper to your heart. My heart is an endless source of burning love. I give freely to you My love. Open your Heart and let Me penetrate your soul with My grace and I will fill you more abundantly with My Divine love. My sweet ones, how tenderly I love you and hold you close to My Heart.

5. Jesus: On this First Friday I ask you to make reparation to My Heart for all of the hearts that have forgotten God. For the indifference of many of My beloved souls.

6. R. Picture yourself in the garden with Jesus. Jesus in His Divine knowing knew all of the sins of all men for all time. He knew the malice and the hatred in the hearts of all men for all time. Jesus consumed with love, love flowing to His precious souls in His burning Heart — love for all souls He died for and He saw before Him the souls that He loved so dearly. And He knew and felt the pain of the rejection and the hatred in their hearts.

7. R. Today, we know in our hearts the rejection of men that we love. To a small degree we experience rejection in our lives. Jesus is love. Jesus experienced such pain and agony to His most Sacred Heart in the garden for the souls that He loved. And He felt this pain so deep within His Heart that His sweat became as great drops of blood upon the ground.

8. R. Think about someone you love very deeply that has hurt you and how it hurts in your heart and you cannot express this hurt in words. Think of Jesus, the Son of God. He came to this earth, a little baby, He walked the earth. God put on a human body and walked the earth. And He suffered, yes, He suffered all through the passion to His death on the cross. Jesus gave His flesh and His blood for love of His beloved creatures. And think of the world today and how He is forgotten and is treated. How He is treated with such disrespect. Jesus experienced all this agony in the garden, agonies to His most Sacred Heart.

9. R. Jesus went to His apostles. Jesus wanted some comfort and they slept. He says to us this day —

Jesus: I give you 24 hours in the day and you are too busy for Me. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I remain truly present in the Eucharist out of greatest love for you. I remain in My Divinity and My humanity, in the Eucharist, no less present than the day I knelt in the garden. And so few souls come to Me and pour out their burning love. I am waiting for you. I wait and I long and I hope that you will come and you are too busy My dear ones. You are too busy. Do you know that I am really waiting for you, longing for your love? I want to be so close to you. I am alive this day. I am present. I am with you, I am your Lord. I call out to you. I call out to you to come to Me, to be with Me. I am waiting for you.

10. Jesus: You do not know the immensity of My love for you. I deliver this message to you to tell you how ardently I love you, and I’m waiting for you. Let Me touch your heart in a way it has not been touched before for I am waiting to be ever closer to you. Come to Me in the Eucharist and sit with Me after Communion. In those precious moments I reveal to you Myself in such an intimate way. So many come to the Eucharist and do not even talk to Me. I am waiting for you, I love you so much. I love you. I love you. I love you. You are My chosen ones. It is through you that I will touch many hearts. Come to Me, My dear ones. Join ever closer to My Heart. I am waiting for you.

Song between decades: A Song from Jesus

 

Jesus is Scourged at the Pillar

1. R. They took our beloved Jesus to the pillar. They tied Him, they bound Him and they began beating Him. They tore His flesh, they tore His precious flesh without any mercy!

2. R. Picture the wounds on Jesus’ arms. Picture the gashes, the deep gashes in Jesus’ arms, the blood that poured forth from Jesus’ wounds. This is the blood that He shed for love of us. We received Jesus in the Holy Eucharist today at Mass. Jesus’ blood given for love of us. Jesus comes to tell us of His love. Jesus wants us to know that this is the truth that Jesus, God, came to this earth. Jesus took on a human little baby body! Jesus gave His flesh and His blood. Jesus suffered as He stood at the pillar beaten unmercifully by His attackers for love of us. And He would have suffered more, gladly, for He loved us with an undying love. But the greatest agonies were not the agonies that He suffered to His body but the agonies that He suffered to His Heart. A Heart, on fire, burning for love of His precious souls.

3. R. Jesus calls us to service. Jesus calls us to love. Jesus calls us to sacrifice. Jesus calls us to open up our hearts, to love our brothers! To look at our brothers and to see their hearts and to love even when they are not nice to us. But to see their heart. How can I look into the heart of another and not love them. To see the creation of God the Father in our brothers. To look into their eyes and to know that Jesus stood at the pillar and shed His precious blood for love of our brothers. He calls us to two things: Love of God and love of one another.

4. R. Jesus calls us to greater union with Him. We unite in this deep union with Him.

5. R. The story of the rosary is the story of Jesus’ life, and Jesus’ mother’s life. The more that we meditate on the mysteries of the rosary the more His life will live in us. The more we will know the vibrancy of His life in our lives.

6. R. To know Him is to love. For Jesus is love. I cannot be one in Jesus and not love my brothers. For if I am one in Him I am loving.

7. R. If you are united to Jesus, you are one in Him. If I am one in Him and you are one in Him, we will be one with each other, in Him. The story is the story that we see through the passion. It is the story of immense love. I see Him with His bloody face, His body wounded from head to toe covered with blood. This is the story of love. Jesus speaks to us to tell us of His love. To tell us that He is alive this day. And He lives in our hearts. The more we unite to Him, the more He lives in this world in us.

8. R. Jesus was born a helpless baby. Jesus walked the earth. Jesus suffered and Jesus died, rose and He ascended into heaven. Jesus left the apostles to carry out the work that He had begun. Jesus gives us a sharing in His Divine life in baptism and we are commissioned in baptism to carry the Gospel message to the world. God dwells in our graced baptized soul in a special way. We are called this day to go out to this world. See Jesus standing at the pillar. Jesus’ face covered with blood, Jesus’ hollow cheeks. Can you see Jesus’ face after He was scourged? How do you think the face of Jesus looked after He was scourged at the pillar? See this face. This will be a motivating factor to go out and to spread this love. For it is the face of Jesus’ love. To keep this face fixed before our eyes, we will want to go into the world and tell all, of His love for them. The world is hurting and in pain. The mighty medicine is the burning love of Jesus. Until the messages of His love are transmitted, this world will remain in pain. We were created to know, love and serve God. Nothing fills the starved soul but the love of God. To tell others of the love of God. To show them in our actions about the love of God, is to give them a great gift. We are the carriers of this great gift. Who are we that we are honored and blessed so, with such a gift. We are His chosen ones that Jesus loved so much, that He shed His blood. Jesus suffered and He died for us.

9. Song: A Song from Jesus
    Song: I Love You Jesus

10. Jesus: You will suffer. You will be persecuted and you will suffer. In this world today, which is godless, I am calling you to be strong soldiers. To come and to dwell in Our Hearts. It is there that you will find the strength to carry out the mission that I am calling you to. Look My dear ones what they did to Me. Look at My face after the scourging. This is the face that I want you to keep before your eyes. It will help you in many of your trials, for I am with you as you breathe and as your heart beats. I dwell in you. My grace is abundantly filling you. You are to spread My love in this world. I love you. I love you. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. I call you to holiness and to union with Me.

Song between decades: A Song from Jesus

 

Jesus is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

1. Jesus: This is a rosary from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. My dear ones you will remember this day. My message is given to you for I am touching your heart deeper and deeper with My love. Open your heart and let Me penetrate your soul. I am longing and thirsting and waiting for deeper union with you. I am outpouring My abundant grace into your heart. You will know within you a touching of My grace, My life. I love you. I love you. I love you.

2. R. Be there with Jesus as Jesus sat on the mock throne with Jesus’ head crowned with thorns. And they pounded into Jesus’ head these thorns, deeply penetrating Jesus’ head. And the blood gushed forth running down Jesus’ face into Jesus’ eyes and into Jesus’ ears. See the picture of His Sacred Head, our Beloved Savior. See the suffering. And we go about and we complain about the little crosses that we are asked to bear. Do we see the face of Jesus? This is the love that He has for us. Heaven is our true home. We are here to live and to draw others closer and closer to His love.

Jesus: I call you My dear ones to this mission to be My Heart beating in this world. Let Me live in your hearts that this message of My love will be carried to My beloved ones.

3. Song: O Sacred Head Surrounded

4. R. Sit with Jesus on the throne. Sit there and feel the spit as it hits your face and feel the pain of the thorns pressing down on your head. Hear the lies, the hatred, the anger of those Jesus loved. Hear those words and then think of someone you loved so deeply saying these words to you.
The little words that others say, how we are wounded by their harsh words many times. Jesus came to show us the way. Jesus withstood all of this treatment to show us that others would do these things to us. But Jesus was silent. Jesus accepted this treatment and Jesus still loved. His way is love. Jesus calls us to love. Jesus is love. To unite with Jesus is to love. We cannot unite with Our Savior and not love. Jesus calls us to guard our tongues as the door way to our souls. What comes out of our mouth is what is in our hearts. Jesus calls us to purify our hearts. To have hearts that are filled with love. To love with the heart of Our Lady. Jesus calls us to guard our tongues. But Jesus chooses to come to us on this same tongue. Jesus gives Himself to us on our tongue. How Jesus loves us. How Jesus forgives our sins, our cruelty towards others. Jesus loves us unconditionally. Jesus is full of mercy. Jesus calls us to say we are sorry and to love.

Jesus: I call you My dear ones to love one another as I have loved you. To My death on the cross I loved you. I call you to love your brothers that you will lay down your life for them. How do you love your brothers? Do you love your brothers to give or to give to you. My way is love. To unite with Me is to love. There is no other way. You cannot make up the rules. You must live to love, to give, to be Me in this world. Your every action is motivated by My life living within you. Say to yourself would Jesus be this way? Would Jesus live this way? Would Jesus be this way? You are to be Christ to one another in this world. And as you are in your hearts so shall you be in this world. The mighty lessons are spoken by your example.

5. Song: I Love You Jesus

6. R. See the head of Jesus before you. Always the face of Jesus wounded and suffering. And this will remind us of His love. And as we are in our hearts so shall we be in this world. As we are filled with this love in our hearts we will go out and give our love to others. God is the source of all life.

7. Jesus: Your life is so short My dear ones. Do not hold on to such incidental things. I give to you My Divine Life and My Divine Love. Nothing on the face of this earth will fill this starved soul but My love.

8. Jesus: You seek for momentary pleasure. You seek and you are left empty. Be rooted in My love. As you are in your hearts you will be in this world.

9. R. The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and there will be an era of peace. All of us joined in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, saturated with His life in us. And this showering of grace into our hearts and into this world. As we unite in our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and the Heart of Mary we will become one with each other for to be one in Jesus and Mary is to be one with each other in love.

10. R. We see all through the passion how Jesus complied to the will of the Father to His death. If we live in the Father’s will there will be peace and harmony in our lives. Each one of us dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary saturated with Their light and Their love. And living in this world in such harmony according to the Father’s will. If we all lived according to the Father’s will we would not bump heads. The Father has a plan for each one of us. It is in praying fervently to the Holy Spirit that we will see more clearly His plan for us. Such a plan that if we saw the plan we would be in awe at what He has planned for us. God created us uniquely special and loves us with such love. Dear Holy Spirit open up our eyes and help us to see more clearly the will of our beloved Father and to live according to this will.

Song: I Love You Jesus

Jesus Carried His Cross

1. Jesus: I call you to obedience. To obey the will of the Father.

R. It is hard many times to do those things that we think God is asking us to do but we will not have peace and joy in our lives if we do not do the will of the Father. I see before me the arms of Jesus spread across the cross. Jesus’ bloodied, bruised body. This is how Jesus complied to the Father’s will. What is He asking me to do this day, that I am saying “no” to, that I am setting up my own roadblocks towards, my own joy and peace in my heart. For if I know that He is calling me in my heart I must do what He is asking me to do or my heart will be torn from lack of peace.

2. Song: A Song from Jesus

3. R. Obedience may be hard. God calls us to obedience. We must seek the plan of the Father. We have human minds arriving at human answers. God’s plan is a Divine plan. It is only in being saturated deeply in His grace that we are open to what He is telling us to do. We must pray more and more for His grace. Go to communion. Sit in front of the tabernacle and soak in His grace. We will understand more fully the plan of the Father, the plan that He has for us, that He created us and gave us our talents to carry out His work. We were uniquely created as part of this plan. He is calling us to follow the plan as the Father intended us to do.

4. R. I see Jesus with His cross on His back. Jesus’ head humped over and I look into His face and see His eyes, Jesus’ beautiful eyes. The eyes of love in such suffering, the eyes of love and peace. For Jesus did the Father’s will and Jesus followed the Father’s will always. If we want peace in our hearts we must do the will of the Father. To His death, to His hanging on the cross and His Mother holding Him in her arms, I see Jesus complying to the will of the Father.

5. R. Great graces are given for complying to the will of the Father and doing it with love. If He wants me to play with my children, I play with my children. If this is the will of the Father, I will be greatly blessed for doing what He is calling me to do.

6. Jesus: I call you to holiness. Holiness is doing the ordinary things in your life with love. I call you to love. To live in the Father’s will with love, always seeking the Holy Spirit to move within you. To be alive within you to guide you and to lead you on your way to know more and more the plan of the Father.

R. Jesus came and showed us the way. He carried His cross, He hung on the cross, always doing the will of the Father. Dying in perfect peace. Peace is found in doing the will of the Father.

7. R. I see His chin on the ground. The cross heaped over His back. Jesus complied always to the will of the Father. Jesus is God and at any moment He could have stopped this slaughter. Jesus did the Father’s will, in all of His sufferings. Jesus was covered with blood and wounds for great love of us. Jesus carried His cross. Our life, a constant carrying a cross, our little crosses. But as we carry these little crosses we grow more and more in His life. We carry out His life, death and resurrection in our lives. A constant death and rising in everything that we do. Not realizing that the struggles that He is giving to us this day are great gifts to lead us ever closer to Him. To lead us to deeper holiness with Him. For He longs to unite and be so close to us.

Dear God, open up our hearts, help us to see, give us the grace that we need most in our lives, to see that which we need. To be joined ever closer to You. For it is there that our souls are filled and our hearts are in such joy to know You and Your abundant life.

We know more the vibrancy of God’s grace in us and His undaunted love within us. We love God! We love God. We love You, God. We love Jesus, our precious Savior. We love the Father and the Holy Spirit and the goodness of God and we thank You for carrying Your cross Jesus and giving Your life that we might have life and have this life in us this day. Who are we that God lives within our hearts?

8. R. We stumble and we fall, God loves us so much - He wants us close to Him. We think we are alone. We are not alone. For God dwells in our graced baptized soul. We must focus on the presence of God within us. He is there in our every breath and our every heartbeat. We do not walk alone. We must pray for more and more grace to know and to love Him. We pray for peace and joy in our hearts. For Jesus loved us to His death on the cross.

9. Jesus: Children of My Father, you are so loved. You have a Father that loves you, that created you and loves His creation. That gave you such great gifts to carry out His work in this world. You have a Mother that walks by your side and loves you. Mary, your Mother, is leading you on your journey to holiness. You are never alone. Come and dwell in Our Hearts. As you dwell in the heart of My beloved Mother, Mary places you in the deepest recesses of My Heart. Come and dwell in Our Hearts and let Us live in your hearts. In this world that is hurting and in pain, you are the light that will shine in the darkest night as Our light shines from you in the world. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. I love you. I love you. I love you. I deliver this message of My love to you. Many are called, but few arechosen. You are chosen by Me to unite ever closer to My Sacred Heart burning and on fire for love of you. I love you. I love you. I love you. Come to My Heart. Do not turn a deaf ear. Do not be stiff-necked in your way. Let Me fill you with My life and you will radiate as you are saturated with this life. You will illumine the darkest night. I live within you My beloved ones. You are My temple. Praise the Almighty God for the great gifts that you are given. Do not look down on the earth and let satan tempt you.

10. R. Jesus carried His cross. Jesus knew the Father’s love. The Father loves us with the deepest love. Let us pray more and more to unite ever closer to Jesus. For He is one with the Father. And the more we unite to Jesus the more we will know our beloved Father who loves us.

Jesus Died on the Cross

1. R. Stand beneath the crucifix and meditate on the wounds of our beloved Savior. See the crown of thorns puncturing His precious Head. See the side where the lance pierced His beloved Heart. Stand beneath the crucifix and see His arms spread open where He gave us all His love.

2. R. When the road is tough stand below the crucifix and see how Jesus spread His arms and gave His all for there is new life in Him. For as I see the crucifix I see next to it the resurrected body of Our Lord, the glorified wounds in His hands and I know Him deeply in my heart. Stand below the crucifix and next to this picture see the resurrected body of Our Lord Jesus adorned in white and filled with His radiant love.

3. R. Jesus came and He gave His life, His precious blood and He gives Himself this day in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus is no less present in the Eucharist than the day He hung on a cross. Jesus comes to us in the Eucharist, the Almighty God, and in those precious moments after Communion, He longs to imprint on our souls great knowledge of Himself. Do not ever waste these precious moments after Communion. Sit in silence and let Him fill our hearts and our souls with this knowledge of Himself.

4. R. Jesus is alive. Jesus is alive. Jesus is alive. Jesus is alive. Jesus is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, the same as the day He walked the earth. And He lives in our graced baptized soul in a special way. He is truly present in the Eucharist. Let our hearts be filled and saturated more and more with His grace that we may know and love Him more and more.

5. R. And Jesus gave us His song: A Song from Jesus — “I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior.  I am your God, I died for you, I come to you this day.”

6. Jesus: Turn not the deaf ear. Open wide your hearts and let Me penetrate your souls and fill you with My love. And this love will radiate to this world. I am alive. I am alive. I am alive. I live in your hearts. Open your heart. Do not close your heart. Rid your heart of all the debris and impurities. For I will unite deeper and deeper as you purify your hearts.

7. Jesus: You are My children of the light. You I am sending into this world.

Mary: As I stood beneath the cross and saw My Son die on a cross, I thought of you my beloved one. How you, this day, would love my Son with such deep love in your heart. I am calling you. I am Mary, your Mother, calling you to unite ever closer to the Heart of my Son. For many souls will be lost in the fires of hell. I call you. I call you. Will you answer this call? Open wide your heart. The souls of many are at stake. So as you are in your hearts you will be in this world. Let the light of the Almighty God shine from your eyes and radiate from your being for you are the children of the light and I am sending you into the world.

8. R. See before you. See before you the withered vine, Jesus Christ on the cross. Constantly keep the passion before your eyes as you go about your days. And know that in all the struggles that you are experiencing they are great gifts from God to draw you ever closer to His Heart, to help you grow in deeper holiness.

My beloved Savior, how tenderly You love us and how we reject great gifts that You are giving to us. Open wide our hearts and help us to know and love You more and more.

9. R. Mary stood beneath the cross and she held the lifeless body of her Son in her arms. Mary and Jesus complied perfectly to the will of the Father. We will have peace and joy in our hearts when we unite to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and pray to the Holy Spirit, to fill us more and more with His gifts and for Him to move more and more within us. And as we are formed more and more into the image of Jesus, we will be united in such a oneness to our heavenly Father.

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle B —  The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A — The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C — In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B — At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

$ 10.00  plus postage

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #2 - CD. - Suffering: A Source of Life - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. Fr. Carter knew suffering that year. His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
