Consecration Prayer for Peace

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.

     

Prayer for Grace for our Country

Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

Glorious Mysteries In Thanksgiving

The Resurrection

1. From Tell my people by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

Jesus Has Come to Give Us Life

Jesus: "This is the day celebrating My Resurrection (Easter). The day of newness of life. I am Lord and Master. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Tell My people to come to Me if they wish to experience life in abundance. I want to give all an ever greater share in the life of My Resurrection. Without Me you cannot be happy, nor have peace, nor have real joy. Tell My people to surrender to Me more and more. The more they do so, the more they will experience My love, wisdom, power, peace, joy, happiness, mercy, and goodness. Within My Heart My people will find these riches. I am Lord and Master! Please listen to My words."

2. Reflection: Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus has come to give us life, and to give us this life in abundance.

When we were baptized, we were incorporated into Christ and His Church. When we were baptized, we received the life of sanctifying grace. This life is a created sharing in the life of the Trinity. Truly, we are called to live a God-like existence according to the teaching and example of Jesus! It is our duty and our privilege to develop our life of grace—our Christ-life—through our participation in the Mass, through the reception of the sacraments, through prayer, and through all other good works. Indeed, we are called to love God and neighbor more and more.

What a glorious life has been given to us! In a spirit of thanksgiving, and together with Mary our Mother, let us always strive to know Christ more intimately, to love Him more ardently, and to follow Him more closely, so that He will always bring us to a closer union with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

3. Prayer: Father, we are profoundly grateful for the life You have given to us through Jesus and in the Holy Spirit. Through the constant intercession of Mary our Mother, we ask for the grace to always be Your worthy sons and daughters.

4. Matthew 10: 27

What I say to you in the dark, tell in the daylight; what you hear in whispers, proclaim from the housetops.

5. Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord

6. Mark 16: 1-11  

When the Sabbath was over, Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices with which to go and anoint him. And very early in the morning on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun had risen. 
    They had been saying to one another, ‘Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?’ But when they looked they saw that the stone—which was very big—had already been rolled back. On entering the tomb they saw a young man in a white robe seated on the right–hand side, and they were struck with amazement. But he said to them, ‘There is no need to be so amazed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: he has risen, he is not here. See, here is the place where they laid him. But you must go and tell his disciples and Peter, "He is going ahead of you to Galilee; that is where you will see him, just as he told you." ’ And the women came out and ran away from the tomb because they were frightened out of their wits; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.
Having risen in the morning on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary of Magdala from whom he had cast out seven devils. She then went to those who had been his companions, and who were mourning and in tears, and told them. But they did not believe her when they heard her say that he was alive and that she had seen him.

7. From the Priestly Newsletter

St. John of the Cross: "What does it profit you to give God one thing if He wishes for another? Consider what it is God wants and then do it."⁴

8. John 10:10

I came so that they may have life and have it to the full.

9. 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.

10. Sing: Taste and See
 

The Ascension

1. Acts 1: 6-9

Now having met together, they asked him, 'Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel?' He replied, 'It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end.'

As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight.

2. Sing: Be not Afraid
3. The apostles were afraid after Jesus ascended into Heaven so they locked themselves in the upper room.

4. Sing: The Rosary Song

5. Song: Live this Day

6. 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. The Pascal mystery is death / resurrection.

8. R. They, who knew Jesus so well, who talked and lived with Him, were filled with such fear. But He promised to send the Holy Spirit. In fear the Apostles locked themselves in the upper room. We must pray more and more for the Holy Spirit to come into our hearts to transform us from fear to fearlessness.

9. R. Jesus has not gone. He is here with us this day in His Divinity and humanity, waiting, longing and thirsting for our love with a Heart that is brimming over with intense love. We see so little. We see only that which is in front of our face. Look beyond the consecrated host. Look beyond and you will see Jesus Christ, the Son of God, truly present in His Divinity and humanity remaining with us this day in greatest love.

10. Sing Song: Come Holy Spirit

 

Descent of Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the Blessed Virgin Mary

1. Acts 2: 1-3

When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them.

2. Acts 2:4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves. 

3. R. Jesus is calling each one of us here to go out to this world and to preach His Gospel, to love, to love our brothers. Dear Holy Spirit, descend upon us and fill us with the fire of Your love. We want to grow in deeper intimacy with You, Jesus and the Father and Holy Spirit. As the blood of Jesus was so red, so, too, is the immensity of the fire of Your love. Let us feel this fire within us. Move in us so that it is no longer we who operate, but You who live and dwell and operate in us.

4. R. As you transformed the Apostles from fear to fearlessness, dear Holy Spirit, transform us from fear to fearlessness to go out to this world, to be strong, to stand up for the love of God. We truly have the Good News! How can we hold back when we know in our hearts this immense love of God? How can we hold back this Good News and talk about such incidental little things? But we know! We know that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is present here this day and in our midst in His Divinity and humanity, with the greatest love. He longs and waits for us and calls out to us, and His Mother calls to us this day to take this plea seriously. The time is urgent. Souls will be lost for not knowing the love of God! Can you see your suffering brothers in hell, condemned to eternal damnation? What will we do when people look into our grave? Will it matter what people thought then? Or will it matter how we loved God and loved one another? Jesus and Mary call out to each one of us this day to rid our hearts of impurities of hate and anger for Jesus unites with us in holiness, purity. He is waiting for you with His love.

5. R. Dear Holy Spirit, in the Heart of the Virgin Mary, transform us more and more into the image of Jesus so that we may be led to the Father.

6. R. (Rita sees a red haze throughout the Holy Spirit Chapel.)

Jesus: The red haze you see is My blood which I shed throughout My whole Passion. It poured so plentifully. The last drop I shed for you. You hold back the Good News that you have for all. As My blood is red, My love is on fire. I ask you to be My soldiers, to go into this world with hearts filled with My love as your ammunition to spread My love throughout the world.

7. Song: Come Holy Ghost

8. R. God wants us to love one another. If we are good it is because of God's grace and we cooperate with it. Our lives will work in harmony if we constantly try to live in the Father's Will. He asks us to pray to the Spirit to help us to know the Will of the Father for it is living according to the Father's Will that we will find our true happiness and joy. Living in His Will is true joy!

9. R. To His death on the cross, He was in perfect peace because He knew the Father's love and He did always the Father's Will.

10. R. In suffering, there is joy. If we are connected with Jesus in this suffering, if we are living according to the Father's Will, if we know the love of God, there is joy in suffering.

Song between decade: Come Holy Spirit, fill our hearts...

 

The Assumption

1. R. Mary went, body and soul, into heaven.

2. Sing: Immaculate Mary

3. R. Heaven is our true home.

4. R. Mary remained on this earth after Jesus left — She was a great intercessor and the Church grew — pray through the intercession of Mary. And we cannot imagine even a minute amount of the treasure that waits for us when we are joined in such intense union with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit for ever and ever in the courts of Heaven.

5. R. He wants to outpour His grace to us in such abundance. The richest source of grace, unless He chooses to give us a special grace, is in going to the Eucharist. He calls us to come and to be with Him in front of the Tabernacle for He truly outpours His grace to us in such abundance.

6. Jesus: I love each one of you so dearly. This day I call out to you to let go, to release all hatred, anger, any hardness that is in your heart. Make your hearts pure. You cannot unite with My Heart if there is any taint of anger and hatred in your heart. Only love can unite with love. Love does not unite with hate. I ask you this day to rid yourselves, to trade any bitterness or anger that you have in your heart for love. I will abundantly pour out My grace for you to love if you ask Me. Keep your hearts ever pure for your face reflects what is inside. What comes forth from your mouth is what is in your heart. If your hearts are filled with love, your face and your speech will be loving. If there is hatred or anger in your heart, what comes forth from your mouth is what is in your heart. I want to be close to you. You must let go. Let go! Let your hearts be pure! Let your souls be white! I want to unite with you as a spouse with His bride. Let go! Let go! Let go!

7. Jesus: Let go to the marriage of our souls! You should want a pure soul. Get rid of anything that is stopping you from union with Me. The smallest sins offend Me. Admit what you do and say you are sorry. Do not harbor any sins in your hearts. I want to be so close to you and share My life and My love with you. You are My precious ones, come to Me. Let Me love you!

8. Song: I Am the Bread of Life

9. Jesus: Mary is your beloved Mother. She leads you on your journey and loves you dearly. She forever walks by your side. My dear children, your Mother is so close to you. Ask her to lead you ever closer to My Sacred Heart.

10. R. Mary, who held the child Jesus, who raised Him, who walked with Him all through the Passion, who saw His glorified body and saw Him as He ascended into heaven, knows the Heart of Jesus. He loves His Mother so dearly. There is such oneness between His Heart and Her Heart. He calls out to us to come to His Heart, to the tender pure and loving heart of His beloved Mother. He wants us to go to her. He loves her dearly. It is she who will place us ever so gently in the deepest recesses of His Heart.

Song between decade: Come Holy Spirit, fill our hearts...

 

The Coronation

1. R. There appeared in the sky a woman clothed as the sun, the moon was under her feet and there were 12 stars about her head.

2. R. The new Eve! It is through Mary that we will be formed more and more on our spiritual journey into a deeper union with Jesus.

3. R. Mary is Jesus' Mother. Mary is our Mother. Mary is the Mother of the Church. She will lead us on our spiritual journey as we become closer to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

4. R. It is in modeling ourselves after the Virgin Mary, she whose heart is sinless, that we will be joined closer to God.

5. R. We pray these mysteries of the rosary to know more and more about the lives of Jesus and Mary - from the young Mary to the old Mary - from the joyful Mary to the sorrowful Mary - the life of Mary all through this rosary. She truly lived with Jesus His whole life and she will lead us ever closer to His Most Sacred Heart.

6. Song: Immaculate Mary

7. R. The Two Hearts of tremendous love — Mary and Jesus! The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and Mary's Heart will be triumphant. Her heart was pierced with a sword. His Heart was pierced with a lance. It is through Their two Hearts that we will grow in our union with God.

8. R. We will, one day, be with God forever in heaven. No more sorrow, no more tears, no more thirsting and longing in our hearts. All of the thirsting that we have will be satisfied.

Song: May the Angels lead you into Paradise

9. R. We need union with Jesus. Jesus wants to join with us in love. The Father created each one of us so uniquely with a special plan. They call out to us this day to spread the love of God into this world, into all the dark corners, to spread this light. Will we answer? Will we realize more and more that Jesus is in this room and that not one person is in this room by accident? You are being called by Jesus and Mary to this room to listen to the messages that were delivered from Them to you today. Jesus says that He will speak to every person that comes into this room during the rosary if they will open up their hearts. These messages were delivered to you from Jesus and Mary. Take them into your hearts and ask the Spirit to lead you more and more. Pray to know the Father's Will — Seek His Will — Do it!! It is in doing His Will that we will have peace, love and joy.

10. Mary: My dear little children, I am your Mother Mary and I am with you at this moment. You are my soldiers to go into this world and to spread the love of my Son. Will you say 'No' to your Mother? Please, please answer my call this day. Make your hearts pure. For it is only in a pure heart that you will be able to spread the love of my Son to this world.

R. Think of Mary and see through her eyes as she stands under the cross of her beloved Son and sees Him hang for three agonizing hours to His death! See through Mary's eyes the love that He has for each one of us. She wants you to know that she is calling out to each person in this room. It is not an accident that you are in this room. (Mary is showing Rita her sorrowful and old face which then changes to her joyful, young face.) She wants you to know of the sorrow that is in her heart for all the souls that have rejected her Son. It is only in a total commitment to her to draw yourselves ever closer to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, that the love of God will be spread throughout this world. The mysteries of the rosary are the mysteries of her life and Jesus' life, from her young life to her old life.
 

This rosary was prayed in the Holy Spirit Chapel before Jesus in the Tabernacle and before the statue of Our Mother of Sorrows who was in the Chapel. Rita, Cathy, Joe, Gerald and Donna Schlautman, the gentleman who donated the statue of Our Mother of Sorrows to the Center and two people who were with him, and Marty were present for the rosary.

This day, March 5, 1995, was the eighth anniversary of the 5ths of Rita praying the rosary at the Holy Spirit Center. She began at Mary's request on July 5, 1994. Mary appeared to Rita much the same as she did on that day in July. She was pumpkin colored in her face. She changed between her young, joyful face to her old, sorrowful face. She pulsated in light and when joyful, glistened gloriously in white. Mary appeared in the statue during the third mystery. There was a red haze surrounding the Chapel which Jesus described as His blood shed during His Passion.
