March 7, 2000 - Day before Lent - Healing Day

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.

Messenger: Include Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center in 6:20 prayers.

A Day to Come

Messenger: It is a day when the air touches our cheeks like the stroke of a silk fabric and the birds chirp and all is well. It is a day of the Lord. It is a day when we can trust everyone and our wounds are healed for we are filled with His grace and His love, we are embraced by God. It is a day when there is no confusion, where justice and peace will kiss, where God's word will be planted in the hearts, where God is openly proclaimed as their God and they live united as His people. It is a day where children can play in open ground and all children are pure in their hearts loving and serving God, taught by parents and teachers who have made God the King and Center of their hearts. It is a day when God reigns in the hearts of men and in the land, in all places and towns, churches, byways, highways, bungalows and cities, homes and dry land, wetland, all land. It is a time when the Sacred Heart of Jesus is the King and Center of all hearts, when His Heart reigns in all places, for they are dwellings that exist to serve God.

It is the time when her Immaculate Heart will triumph. It is the new Eden, a garden filled with children of the New Adam and the New Eve. It is a garden where there are men that love as Abel and the devil's deadly influence will be no more.

Genesis 4:6-7

Yahweh asked Cain, 'Why are you angry and downcast? If you are doing right, surely you ought to hold your head high! But if you are not doing right, Sin is crouching at the door hungry to get you. You can still master him.'

Messenger: What is consecration to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart, but surrendering our tainted imperfect hearts to the two perfect Hearts. Mary, Mother of God, conceived without sin; Jesus, the Son of God, God-made-Man, come to this earth to show us the way and save us from our sins.

A day when the wind kisses our cheeks, every tear is wiped away and men live according to God's way.

And Jesus has given us this Movement to help bring about the reign of His Sacred Heart.

1 Corinthians 15: 25-26

For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet.

Messenger: Men must surrender their wills to God and live under His feet.

Who is Jesus' family?

Matthew 12:46-50
The true kinsfolk of Jesus

He was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly his mother and his brothers were standing outside and were anxious to have a word with him. But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, 'Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?' And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.'

Messenger: A story, Adam and Eve, the struggle with the will. A fallen human race for doing their own will.

Jesus, Who died on the cross doing the will of the Father.

Mary, the New Eve, living as the most perfect human person conformed to the WILL of God.

And so it is a lesson of authority and will which He teaches us.

Children learn obedience in the family.

We learn obedience in the Church.

Obedience is attacked.

Jesus Christ is persecuted today.

Obedience is attacked by the devil.

He wants the garden all over again with willful children.

Consecration helps all be in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary which are the Hearts of pure love. Jesus is God. He did the Father's will. Mary did God's will.

I see the beauty of the handmaid in our Shepherds of Christ handmaids.

They live to serve God as His spouse and bride.

He is their end, He is their espoused.

I see that life modeled in both our handmaids and servants that live to do His will and serve Him, like Mary. They walk in His name, not their own, their purpose is to do whatever He wants them to do because it gives Him pleasure.

Luke 1:46-55
The Magnificat

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.

Messenger: This is so unlike the world that tells you to get your way and be over everybody else.

In fact, we must be under His feet to be as God wants us to be.

Authority is a blessing. In the Church the power flows from God, to the Pope, to the cardinals, bishops, to the priests, to the people. Jesus Christ is the Head of His Church, we are His brides.

He gives Himself to us in the Eucharist. He gives us His Body and His Blood. He remains with us. He is truly present in His Divinity and Humanity. The grace He outpours in this Eucharist is so tremendous. We become one in Him the New Adam. His wants become our wants, we want to help save souls.

Oh I cry to teach the lessons He teaches me, and yet the world with the influence of the devil, with the media, television, devices to appeal to all senses, has engrained the imperfect ways of the world into the souls.

His way is the only way, we must follow the Good Shepherd. Our shepherds in the Church must lead the way. They must speak the same words of the Good Shepherd. His Life He outpours to us in the Mass, in His word.

Now I say this to you, envision yourself approaching the altar, a bride bedecked in jewels, a white dress, a beautiful veil, signifying the great purity of the one approaching the altar of such a King. He is a King of all kings, He is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is the Lamb, the One sacrificed for the sins of His beloved souls.

Oh, she walked to the altar and He waits there dressed in bridal attire of black, Shepherd of the Flock, a God of ages past and present. A Supreme Being, One Who gives Himself, gives His divine perfect holy love to His beloved soul.

A gift surpassing all others. A union of the Divine God to His spouse, the SPOUSE of the LAMB.

Lent ends with Holy Week. Lent is a time to purify our hearts. We want to reach Him with purity. Giving ourselves in consecration means we surrender our wills to His. We work to walk in His name and not our own.

We realize doing what He wants pleases Him and we get great pleasure in this, more than in decorating our way, doing our thing, promoting ourselves. We realize that every act that we perform that is not His will affects everyone around us and everyone in the body of Christ.

The Stations of the Cross

The First Station JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH With angry hearts and hatred on their faces, they poked at Jesus and condemned Jesus to death. He stood so silent, His hands tied, in perfect peace, because He knew the Father's love. He knew the Father's will. We too will stand our trials in peace, the more we realize the immense love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have for us. We must pray to the Spirit to transform us more and more into His image and, through this transformation, we will be led ever closer to the Father. Oh, how Jesus loves us!

The Second Station THEY GIVE JESUS THE CROSS They gave Jesus a heavy cross, laden with the sins of the world. They placed it on His shoulder. It was so heavy He felt as if His shoulder would break. He asks us to carry little crosses, to experience little pains. He could not remove this cross from His shoulder. The weight was unbearable. It is through His suffering and death that we receive new life. It is through our sufferings this day that we will grow in our life with Jesus. Jesus loves us so much that He took up the cross of salvation. He loves us. To His death He loved us. Oh, how Jesus loves us!

The Third Station JESUS FALLS THE FIRST TIME The cross was so heavy Jesus could hardly walk. He held on to His cross for greatest love of us and in compliance with the will of His Father. It became so hard to walk! The cross was so heavy! He fell. He fell and the cross fell on Him. They poked at Him, they struck Him, they demanded He get up. The pain from the instruments they used to poke Him and strike Him was so great! He somehow managed to get up. When we fall under the weight of our cross, we go to Jesus' Eucharistic Heart. He is no less present in the tabernacle and in the Eucharist than on the day He carried His cross. He waits with the same love that He had for us when He carried His cross and suffered such agony. Oh, how Jesus loves us!

The Fourth Station JESUS AND MARY MEET Jesus saw the face of His beautiful Mother. She was weak, her face reddened and full of tears. He saw her tender heart, her love, her anguish, her pain. He saw His dear Mother Mary. His Heart was comforted by the sight of her, but torn by her suffering. As Mary looked into the eyes of her beloved Son, she saw His love. His head, bleeding and wounded. His body weak. His clothes covered with blood. She looked into His eyes and she saw His love for us. She wants to call us back to the love of her Son. See through her eyes, as she peers into His eyes, the love He has for us this day. He gave Himself for us. Oh, He loves us so much. We are Mary's little children. See through Mary's eyes the love of her Son. Oh, how Jesus loves us!

The Fifth Station SIMON OF CYRENE IS FORCED TO HELP JESUS CARRY HIS CROSS The cross was so heavy Jesus could not move. His persecutors became angry and forced a man to help Him. The cross was so heavy the two of them could barely move it. How is our cross today? Does it seem so heavy we cannot go on? He is forever watching us. When we are suffering the greatest, He is very close to us. It is in immense suffering that we realize His great love for us. Pray for grace to do always the Father's Will. Pray for grace to grow in our knowledge and love of Jesus.

The Sixth Station VERONICA WIPES THE FACE OF JESUS Jesus' face was covered with blood. From the crowd Veronica came forward with a cloth to wipe His face. On the cloth Jesus gave to us an imprint of His bloodied face. This remains with us this day as a sign of His immense love for us. But more than any cloth, look beyond the visible consecrated host. Jesus remains with us, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, in the Eucharist this day, waiting and longing to be with us. Oh, how Jesus loves us!

The Seventh Station JESUS FALLS THE SECOND TIME As Jesus went on the way to Calvary, it became harder and harder to walk. The cross was becoming heavier, His body weaker and weaker. His shoulders and arms hurt so much! His head throbbed as He walked. The blood came from His body, from His head to His feet. He was covered with open wounds. He could not go any farther. He stumbled and fell. Again they poked at Him, only harder, and with such hatred they kicked Him. Such vileness in the hearts of men! His greatest agony was not the agonies of His body, but the agonies of His heart for the love He has for all His precious souls. He loved them so dearly. He loved those who persecuted Him. Oh, how Jesus loves us!

The Eighth Station JESUS MEETS THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM The women came to Jesus with their children, their tender hearts crying and wanting to comfort Him. He saw their love, their care. He saw the coldness of men's hearts for all time, the hatred, the anger, the sins, all the souls that, despite all of His sufferings and death, would be condemned to eternal damnation. He told the women to weep not for Him, but for themselves and their children. His greatest agonies were the agonies of His Most Sacred Heart. Oh, how Jesus loves us!

The Ninth Station JESUS FALLS THE THIRD TIME Jesus fell hard the third time. He was so weakened He could not go on. His body collapsed under the cross from such exhaustion! Jesus' greatest agonies were not the wounds to His body. They were the wounds He experienced to His heart. Do we not realize how much Jesus loves us? It is in meditating on His Passion and death that we will realize His immense love for us. When we fall, when we struggle, Jesus gives us the grace to get up. Jesus never gives us more than we can handle. Our strength will come from Jesus. Come to Jesus' Eucharistic Heart. He is waiting for us this day. Oh, how Jesus loves us!

The Tenth Station JESUS IS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS They took Jesus to the hill to crucify Him. They angrily stripped Jesus of His garments. They took off Jesus' clothes to whip Him. They had covered Jesus' bloody wounds with a dirty purple robe. Now, total surrender-they took off Jesus' clothes. He showed us the way to surrender, always complying with the will of the Father. It is in living in His will that we will have peace and joy, and life eternal some day. Oh, how Jesus loves us!

The Eleventh Station THEY NAIL JESUS TO THE CROSS See Mary as she holds the little Baby Jesus. See her as she washes His tender hands and feet. See her now as she watches as they pound into those same hands and feet the gigantic nails that fix Jesus to the cross. Mary's heart was torn in her chest as they nailed His hands and feet to the cross. She asks us this day to walk the Passion with Him. See through her eyes the love He has for us. He truly was nailed to the cross. They pounded the nails into Jesus' first hand, then they stretched His body and nailed His other hand. The blood poured from these wounds, that went totally through Jesus' hands. His pain was so immense, but then they nailed His feet! We do not know what pain He suffered. For each one of us He suffered this pain.

The Twelfth Station JESUS DIES ON THE CROSS (Silence.) Jesus hung for three agonizing hours on the cross against the darkened sky. His greatest agonies were not the agonies of His body, but those of His Heart for the great love He has for each and every soul. He gave Himself to us. He gave His all. He hung with His arms spread in total surrender. Jesus' head was punctured; His hands and feet were nailed to the cross. He gave Himself to us. He gives Himself to us this day in the Eucharist. Jesus gives us Himself! What more do we want? Song: I Love You Jesus... They pierced His Heart with a lance and what flowed forth was blood and water, the sacramental life of the Church, water for Baptism and blood for the Eucharist.

The Thirteenth Station JESUS IS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS AND PLACED IN THE ARMS OF HIS MOTHER They placed the lifeless body of Jesus in the arms of His most loving Mother. As she had held the little baby body in her arms, she now received His bloodied, bruised body. This is how He obeyed the Father's will. Jesus gave His life for us. The Father gave His only Son because He loves us so much. Mary, His Mother, our Mother and the Mother of the Church, is forever by His side. See Jesus in the arms of His loving Mother under the cross. This is love. Mary held His lifeless body in her arms. See through Mary's eyes the love He has for us this day. He gives Himself to us today in the Eucharist. Jesus loves us so much!

The Fourteenth Station JESUS IS LOCKED IN THE TOMB The enemies of Jesus rolled the stone up to the tomb and were pleased to have buried Him. Mary, outside the tomb, wept bitterly. The cold reality that He was dead! But death has no power over Jesus, for on the third day He rose, triumphant, from the tomb! We are partakers in His divine life. Death has no power over Jesus. He is with us this day. He comes to bring us life to the full. Jesus loves us so much!

   Jesus: My dear child, with angry hearts and hatred on their faces, they poked at Me and condemned Me to death. I stood so silent, My hands tied, in perfect peace, because I knew the Father's love. I knew the Father's Will. You too will stand your trials in perfect peace, the more you realize the immense love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have for you.

It is through My suffering and death that you receive new life. It is through your sufferings this day that you will grow in your life with Me.

5. Simon of Cyrene Is Forced to Help Jesus Carry His Cross
   Jesus: The cross was so heavy I could not move. My persecutors became angry and forced a man to help Me. The cross was so heavy the two of us could barely move it. How is your cross today? Does it seem so heavy you cannot go on? I am forever watching you. When you are suffering the greatest, I am very close to you. It is in immense suffering that you realize My great love for you. Pray for grace to do always the Father's Will. Pray for grace to grow in your knowledge and love of Me.

The blood came from My body, from My head to My feet. I was covered with open wounds. I could not go any farther. I stumbled and fell. Again they poked at Me, only harder, and with such hatred they kicked Me. Such vileness in the hearts of men!

Oh, how I love you!

I told the women to weep not for Me, but for themselves and their children. My greatest agonies were the agonies of My Most Sacred Heart. Oh, how I love you!

9. Jesus Falls the Third Time
   Jesus: I fell hard the third time. I was so weakened I could not go on. My body collapsed under the cross from such exhaustion! My child, My child, My greatest agonies were not the wounds to the body. They were the wounds I experienced to My heart. Do you know a little more now how I love you? It is in meditating on My Passion and death that you will realize My immense love for you. When you fall, when you struggle, I give you the grace to get up. I never give you more than you can handle.
