The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary

 

1.  The Prophecy of Simeon.   Mary and Joseph took the child Jesus to the Temple and they were met by the prophet Simeon. He was an old man and the Holy Spirit told him that before He died, he would see the Messiah. The Holy Spirit led him into the Temple and he saw the child Jesus and held Him in his arms. He said that now he was ready to die. Then he told Mary and Joseph of the sufferings that would befall Jesus and Mary. From that point on whenever Mary looked at her beloved child, she remembered the prophecy of Simeon when she saw Him at play, when she clothed Him, when she saw Him all through His life! Her heart was pierced with a sword to know of the immense sufferings that were to come. A sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary!

    

 2.  The Flight into Egypt.   Joseph and Mary were forced to flee in the night to Egypt with the child Jesus.

 

 3.  Jesus was lost in the Temple.   When Jesus was twelve years old, He was taken up to the Temple for the feast of the Passover. When it was over Joseph and Mary left with the caravan and left Jesus behind. With their hearts in such sorrowing, they returned to the temple in search of the child Jesus. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary!

 

 4.  Jesus and Mary meet on the Way to the Cross.   Their eyes peer into one another's eyes on Calvary. In that peering look is such intimacy between the two Hearts. Her heart was pierced with an invisible sword! His Heart was pierced with a lance! Such love! They suffered for love of us! A sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary!

    

 5.  Jesus Died on the Cross and Mary stands beneath the cross.   Jesus:  I call out to you to be soldiers to spread the love that I have for you to this world for I truly gave My life for you! Will you answer this call? See My Mother as she stood under the cross. Her face with tears, with such love for you! This is your Mother! She calls to you. I call to you to be soldiers of My love to a world that is in such pain and that is hurting! One soldier fixed to the love of God can move a mountain! Will you be the soldier that answers My call? As I pour out to you such abundant grace, as I fill you with fearlessness to march on this world in which many do not believe in God. I cry out to you this day from the depths of My Sacred Heart to go into battle with your hearts filled with My love. I love you so dearly that I died for you. Can you not do this for Me?

 

 6.  Mary under the Cross received the lifeless Body of her Son.   She had suffered so much agony all through the Passion. Now she stood under the cross held up by her beloved John. Now the final curtain! She is handed the lifeless body of her beloved Son in her arms as she held the child Jesus when Simeon said to her — and a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary! The final curtain was that she held His lifeless, limp body covered with blood and she calls out to you this day to spread the love of her Son throughout this world. You are truly being called as soldiers going into battle filled with the might of the Almighty God. She is counting on you. You were called here this evening. Called by me, called by Jesus to hear this plea. This world is in such pain. This world has forgotten God. Souls will be lost. Do not turn the other way but realize that the knowledge about the love of God you spread to the world today is so important. Souls will eventually go to Heaven or to hell. Spread these revelations. God is giving such strength and such grace to answer this call. Can you say no? See Mary as she held the lifeless body of her Son in her arms. See her face reddened with tears, ridges from the deep crying. No words can express the anguish that she suffered to her heart.

  

 7.  Jesus is Locked in the Tomb.   The cold reality that He is now dead! Mary weeps outside. But death has no power over Jesus for on the third day Jesus rose to bring us new life!! A sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.

Song:  I Love You Jesus

Song:  Come Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles and transformed them from fear into fearlessness, come to us O Holy Spirit fill us with Your grace. Fill us with the fire of Your love so that we may know God's burning love and carry this fire, this vibrancy of God's love to a hurting world. Help us spread the Gospel message that Jesus has died, He is risen and that He loves this world this day! Help us to be loving. Help us to be one in You.

Galatians 2: 19-20

I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living, subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.

Work in us O God!

This rosary was prayed before Jesus in the Tabernacle in the Holy Spirit Chapel. Rita, Joe, Cathy, Marty and 6 people who came from the Dayton, Ohio area.

  

February 4, 1995 - First Saturday

Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection

1.  R.  On the third day, Jesus rose from the dead. Death has no power over Him! After being locked in the tomb for three days, He rose triumphantly!

2.  From The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, by Louis J. Puhl, S.J.  p. 132

299. THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST OUR
        LORD
THE FIRST APPARITION

FIRST POINT. He appeared to the Virgin Mary.
Though this is not mentioned explicitly in the Scripture
it must be considered as stated when Scripture says
that He appeared to many others. For Scripture supposes
that we have understanding, as it is written, "Are
you also without understanding?"

R.  Imagine the joy of His Mother to see Him in His glorified body. She, who had wept outside His tomb only three days before with the cold reality of His death.

3.  R.  There is such connection between Jesus and Mary and Their love for one another.

4.  R.  Jesus died that He could give us new life and that we would receive this life in such abundance. Out of greatest love for us, the Father sent His only begotten Son into the world to suffer for love of us. Now He rises on the third day to give us new life!

5.  R.  Jesus has paid the price for Adam's sin.

6.  R.  Jesus gave to the apostles the power to baptize and forgive sins.

7.  R.  Our human nature is elevated through Baptism! We receive a special sharing in His life.

8.  From the pierced Heart of Jesus the Church was born.

9.  R.  Who are we that God gives us the sacraments in such goodness so that we can live with Him for ever and ever in Heaven!

10.  R.  Jesus gives to us the Sacrament of Holy Orders whereby He gives us the specially anointed priest-sons so that they can change Bread and Wine into His Body and Blood.

Song between decades:  Come Holy Spirit

  

The Ascension

1. 

Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them.   Luke 24: 50

Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift to you.   John 14: 27

2.  R.  Jesus raised His arms and ascended into Heaven. The apostles, as they looked from below, were in such awe! A cloud took Him out of sight!

3.  R.  These are the Glorious Mysteries! That Jesus Christ rose triumphant from the dead. That Jesus ascended into Heaven!

4.  R.   The priest can change bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, no less present than the day He walked the earth!

5.  R.  The servant usually goes to the Master, but Jesus Christ, out of greatest love for us, comes to us in the sacrament of the Eucharist. The Master comes to the servant!

6.  R.  Jesus calls us His brothers!

7.  R.  Jesus gives us, out of His goodness, His Body and Blood to nourish our life. He gives us the sacrament of Penance to take away our sins. He gives us such gifts out of His goodness!

8.  R.  Jesus loves us with such immense love! To ponder His goodness is to make us in awe of the God that comes to us and makes His home in our hearts in such union when we receive Him in the Eucharist!

9.  R.  Who are we that the good God loves us so?

10.  R.  Jesus is all good and all loving and He gives to us out of His bounty!

Song between decades:  Come Holy Spirit

  

The Descent of the Holy Spirit

1.  Song: God is so Good, God is so Good, God is so Good, Oh so Good to us!

2.  R.  Jesus gives to us the sacrament of Confirmation whereby we become soldiers of God through the power of the Holy Spirit. Confirmation is a sacrament.

3.  R.  There appeared a gigantic-like wind and over their heads were parted tongues of fire!

4.  R.   The apostles and the Virgin Mary were in the upper room. The apostles had been filled with such fear that they locked themselves there. Now the Holy Spirit descended upon them and they were filled with the fire of His love!

5.  R.  They were transformed from fear to fearlessness and went out to preach the Gospel and all understood!

6.  R.  Dear Holy Spirit, Your power is so immense! Fill us with the fire of God's love! Let it be ever present and vibrant within us so that we, too,  may go out and preach the Gospel to this world that is hurting!

7.  R.  We are called to Confirmation to be strong soldiers in God's army!

8.  R.  Holy Spirit, lead us more and more to the image of Jesus! Transform our hearts that we may be more likened to Him!

9.  R.  Through the powerful intercession of the Virgin Mary, transform us to be more and more like Jesus so that we can be led closer to Our dear Father!

10.  R.   Jesus showed us the peace that He had all through His life. He knew the love of the Father. Please, dear Father, help us to know more this immense love that You have for each one of us and to realize Your Plan. Help us to do Your Will so that in doing Your Will, we will be happier in this world and please you doing Your plan.

Song between decades: Come Holy Spirit

   

The Assumption

1.  R.  Mary was on the earth some time after Jesus ascended into Heaven.

2.  R.  Can we imagine, even a little bit, what Heaven is like? Mary, in all her glory after all her suffering, is now taken into Heaven body and soul.

3.  R.  How glorious is our Beautiful Mother! How glorious that she loves us so much!

4.  R.  Mary, we are so blind! Our hearts are not so soft! Make our hearts more tender so that we can more and more realize the love that you and Jesus have for each one of us!

5.  R.  You, Beloved Mary, you are the Queen of Queens! You are the Mother of God!

6.  Song:  O Holy Mary

7.  R.  Help us, Mother, to be more and more like you, our model, and like Jesus, your Beloved Son!

8.  R.  Holy Spirit, transform us into the image of Jesus in the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary!

9.  R.  We love you so much, Mary!

10.  Song:  Immaculate Mary

Song between decades:  Come Holy Spirit

      

The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth

1.  R.  The Hearts of Jesus and Mary! The Hearts that overflow with such abundant love for each and every precious soul! The hearts that were wounded because of their love! The heart of Mary that was pierced with a sword! The Heart of Jesus that was pierced with a lance.

2.  R.  Now, Mary our Mother, was crowned Queen of Heaven and earth!

3.  Song:  Hail Holy Queen

4.  R.  How God is such a good God that He has given us so much good things and He gives to us His Beloved Mother who is now the Queen of Heaven!

5.  R.  We pray through Her intercession that we may be drawn ever closer in love with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!

6.  R.  Dear Mary, place us so tenderly in the Heart of the child Jesus. You held Jesus in your arms and presented Him to the Father in the Temple. Place us in the Heart of Jesus that we can go to the Father!

7.  R.  How the Father loves His Most Precious Son!

8.  R.  We will, someday, be united in such deep union with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!

9.  Song:  Eye has not Seen

10.  Song:  May the Angels

Song between decades:  Come Holy Spirit
