R.
Do you feel the presence of the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit?
The Father, has a plan for us.
God wants this relationship with us.
We are here to grow in our intimacy
with God.
In this Lent we can spend time
alone with God and think of the
presence of the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit in our heart.
Jesus: Be alone with Me, close
your eyes, think of the presence of
God, All three Persons, dwelling in
your heart.
Meditate, empty your mind, think
only of the presence of God. Make
a spiritual communion, now.
Take time, be alone with Me.
Everyday during Lent, morning and
night, empty your mind, make a
spiritual communion, think of God’s
presence with you, close your eyes,
be alone with Me.
This will help you to grow in God’s
presence all day, the more you do
this, all thru Lent.
I went into the desert to pray for
40 days and be with My Father,
practice this every day during Lent.
Being alone with God. Knowing
My presence!!!!

R. God wants
us to forgive those
who hurt us (but not to endanger
ourselves).
Not forgiving keeps us bound.
Jesus forgives our sins.
We can choose to forgive.
Pray for grace to forgive.
Sing: Loving and Forgiving
Sing: Amazing Grace
R. Nothing is
impossible with God.
God can change the hard of heart.
But the person, must want to change.
God is a God of miracles.
When we hurt others and sin, say
you are sorry, make amends,
repair the breach and be free.
You know loving is a two-way
street.
We give love, but we must be
willing to receive love from others.
Give and Receive Love.
Dear God,
Thank You for all Your gifts and
beauty given to me.
Dear God, I love You, I love You,
I love You, so much.
Oh God
Help me spread this message and
the Good News.
Please God, I thank You and love
You so much.
Oh Jesus,
Thank You for Your Sacred Heart
of love.
Thank You for Your gifts and
beauty.
Love makes the world go round.
Love, relationship, unity, is such
a gift.
My heart sings songs that fill me.
Song: In My Heart!!!
R. There is
no real peace without the

all the power.
God is the Almighty God.
He does not abandoned us.
God is with us, now.
Jesus is the King of Kings and
Lord of Lords.
We help lift each other up, when
we fall down.
Simon of Cyrene showed how
he helped Jesus carry the cross.
Life involves others.
We can’t try to force our isolated
path in a community, a family.
Life involves responsibility and
accountability, duty before God.
God has a Plan. God enlists our
help.
God gives us a free will to love and
serve Him, or to reject Him and do
our plan.
The first commandment tells us
about God’s order.
God is first if we are to have order.
When we put ourselves first, our
selfish will first before God’s will,
seeking dominance for dominance
sake, we are in disorder.
God is perfect order!!!!
Come Holy Spirit, infuse into our
intellect Your gifts, understanding,
wisdom, knowledge.
We are Yours Lord, we want to
put our trust in You.
Let your “yes” mean “yes” and
your “no” mean “no”.
God forgives those who are sorry
and repents, He is all merciful,
He loves us so much.
Do not be afraid to live by the
truth of Jesus.
Jesus says: ”I am the way, the
truth and the life.”
I love you so much.
Be loving to each other and kind,
what you do to others, you do to Me.
Sin offends God.
I come that you may have life.
Pray for the priests, the Church
and the world.
Say your Morning Offering every
day united to the Mass.
Spread this message. Consecrate
your hearts to My Heart and My
Mother’s Immaculate Heart.

Sorrowful Mysteries
The Agony in the
Garden
1. Matthew 26: 36-46
hen Jesus came with them to a plot of land called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, 'Stay here while I go over there to pray.' He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him. And he began to feel sadness and anguish. Then he said to them, 'My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake with me.' And going on a little further he fell on his face and prayed. 'My Father,' he said, 'if it is possible, let this cup pass me by. Nevertheless, let it be as you, not I, would have it.' He came back to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, 'So you had not the strength to stay awake with me for one hour? Stay awake, and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.' Again, a second time, he went away and prayed: 'My Father,' he said, 'if this cup cannot pass by, but I must drink it, your will be done!' And he came back again and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy. Leaving them there, he went away again and prayed for the third time, repeating the same words. Then he came back to the disciples and said to them, 'You can sleep on now and have your rest. Look, the hour has come when the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up! Let us go! Look, my betrayer is not far away.'T
2. Jesus swear
blood. Can you ever
imagine His anxiety that He sweat
His blood?
3. Jesus paid for our sins with His
precious blood.
He sweat blood in the Garden.
4. Jesus is God. In the Garden He
knew the sins - all the sins ever
committed.
5. This is love that Jesus paid for
all our sins.
6. Oh Jesus, I am so sorry for my
sins.
7. Dear God the Father, in the name
of Jesus, we offer up all our
sacrifices united to Jesus in the
Mass, in the Holy Spirit, through
the powerful of intercession of Our
Lady of Clearwater, with all the
angels and saints and souls in
purgatory.
8. We are blind, many times we do
not realize how disconnected and
unloving we can be. We pray for
grace we need most, to see.
9. Sing: Give me
Your Heart, Oh Jesus,
Give me a heart like Yours.
10. Fr. Carter said:
"It’s not that
there is too much suffering in
the world, but so much is wasted."
The Scourging at
the Pillar
Then Pilate saw that he was making no impression, that in fact a riot was imminent. So he took some water, washed his hands in front of the crowd and said, ‘I am innocent of this man’s blood. It is your concern.’ And the people, every one of them, shouted back, ‘Let his blood be on us and on our children!’ Then he released Barabbas for them. After having Jesus scourged he handed him over to be crucified.
2. Jesus gave so
much, for love of
us, and many ignore Him, and
never thank Him.
3. We can meditate on all Jesus
suffered for love of us, so we
can thank Him in our words
for doing so much for us out
of love.
4. Think of our lives and all the
blessings God has given to us
every day.
5. Oh Jesus, thank You for all
You do for us. Oh Jesus, I love
You so much.
6. Oh Jesus, I am so sorry how
they tore Your flesh and beat
Your precious body.
7. We pray for the priests, the
Church and the world. Thank
You God.
8. The world belongs to Christ,
even though it is marred by sin.
9. Jesus endured such Pain, we
cannot even imagine, for our sins.
10. Jesus was beaten by angry men,
that bruised His flesh, made Him
bleed, tore His body, taking turns
whipping Jesus.
Jesus could have stopped it all.
The Crowning with
Thorns
Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Praetorium and collected the whole cohort round him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet cloak round him, and having twisted some thorns into a crown they put this on his head and placed a reed in his right hand. To make fun of him they knelt to him saying, ‘Hail, king of the Jews!’ And they spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head with it. And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the cloak and dressed him in his own clothes and led him away to crucifixion.
2. Think of Jesus'
abused head.
The head is so important.
3. These men crowned Jesus' head
with sharp thorns that put holes
in His head and made His head
bleed.
4. So many men and women are
so prideful for power and putting
themselves above others, seeking
dominance for dominance sake.
5. Jesus' head was bloodied for our
ugly, sins of selfish pride, anger,
jealousy, envy.
6. Jesus was abused and mocked
and spit on.
Such humiliation.
7. Jesus was the innocent Lamb,
led to the slaughter.
8. Jesus is the way, the truth and
the life.
9. The devil is the Father of lies.
10. Jesus: I give you a sharing in
My life in Baptism,
I love you so much.
Love gives for the good of the
other. I love you, I love you, I
love You.
Help Me spread My rosaries and
messages to the world.
Pray for the priest, the Church
and the world. I love you so much.
Spread the Good News, tell Me
how much you love Me. I long for
your love, My precious one.
The Carrying of
the Cross
As they were leading him away they seized on a man, Simon from Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and made him shoulder the cross and carry it behind Jesus. Large numbers of people followed him, and women too, who mourned and lamented for him. But Jesus turned to them and said, ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep rather for yourselves and for your children. For look, the days are surely coming when people will say, "Blessed are those who are barren, the wombs that have never borne children, the breasts that have never suckled!" Then they will begin to say to the mountains, "Fall on us!"; to the hills, "Cover us!" For if this is what is done to green wood, what will be done when the wood is dry?'
2. They gave Jesus a
heavy cross,
laden with the sins of the world.
3. Jesus fell under the cross. The
cross with all its weight fell on
Him.
4. Jesus' chin hit the ground, then
they hit Jesus, while He was
under the cross.
5. Jesus suffered so much. Jesus
never gave up. Jesus endured it
all for love of us and for our sins.
6. Jesus fell three times under the
weight of the cross. Simon of
Cyrene was forced to help Jesus
carry the heavy cross.
7. Jesus met the women of Jerusalem
that wept over Jesus.
8. Veronica wiped His face and
left an imprint of Jesus' face.
9. True love, Jesus' love is true love.
Jesus' love is burning love for us.
10. Jesus gives us Divine Love.
Jesus' love is endless, eternal love.
The Crucifixion
Now they were also leading out two others, criminals, to be executed with him. When they reached the place called The Skull, there they crucified him and the two criminals, one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.' Then they cast lots to share out his clothing.
The people stayed there watching. As for the leaders, they jeered at him with the words, 'He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.' The soldiers mocked him too, coming up to him, offering him vinegar, and saying, 'If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.' Above him there was an inscription: 'This is the King of the Jews'.
One of the criminals hanging there abused him: 'Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us as well.' But the other spoke up and rebuked him. 'Have you no fear of God at all?' he said. 'You got the same sentence as he did, but in our case we deserved it: we are paying for what we did. But this man has done nothing wrong.' Then he said, 'Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.' He answered him, 'In truth I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.'
The veil of the Sanctuary was torn right down the middle. Jesus cried out in a loud voice saying, 'Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.' With these words he breathed his last. When the centurion saw what had taken place, he gave praise to God and said, 'Truly, this was an upright man.'
2. Jesus' love is
Divine pure love.
3. Jesus emptied Himself.
4. Sing: A Song from Jesus
5. The Mass is the
sacrifice of Calvary,
sacramentally made present.
6. We unite our sacrifices in the Mass
to Jesus' sacrifice, offered to the
Father.
7. We give God so special love at Mass.
8. 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.
-Mass Book, December 27, 1995
9. 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.
10. John 3:16
For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may have eternal life.
