The Fifth Book
The Sacred Heart Book - His Song Book
So Deep is the Love of His HeartJesus started giving me His love songs at the beginning of the fifth book. The book began on October 1. On October 7th, He gave me the first song. He gave me almost all the songs in October. There were references in the second and third book as to how I would be given His love songs and He wanted them to spread to the world. All songs centered deeply on the love of His Most Sacred Heart.
The fifth book carried the message for the Shepherds of Christ meetings. He calls the members to such deep love with Him. He tells them over and over again they are His apostles to spread this love to the world. He tells of the "beautiful words of His Heart." He wants us to love Him in return. He asks us to write Him a love letter. He tells all how He wants His Heart to reign in their homes and their hearts. Homes need to be enthroned with the Most Sacred Heart.

After CommunionLove is From the Heart (excerpt)
Jesus: Oh, My beloved priests, how I long, long for you to come and sit with Me! My Heart is burning for love of you. Oh, dear, special anointed ones, I love you so much. When you enkindle this love affair with Me, you will feed the starved souls that come to be fed. Feed My sheep, I beg you to come and be fed, My beloved priests and you will feed this world. Oh, how I love, how I wait, how I want each of you to come and love Me. I Am Love! How can you talk about love, love is from the heart, love is not from the head! Pray, My beloved ones and fall in love with the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is found in the Eucharist. Come and be present. I love you so. Love Me with your whole heart. I am God and you shall have no gods before Me. Happiness is found in loving God — anything not rooted in Him is useless.

Mary Crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth
(1) Sing: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
(2) Sing: Little Baby Hands and Feet
(3) Sing: Hail Holy Queen
(4) Sing: Immaculate Mary
(5) Sing: The Rosary Song
(6) Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. Revelation 12: 1
(7) It happened that, three days later, they found him in the Temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and asking them questions; and all those who heard him were astounded at his intelligence and his replies. Luke 2: 46-47
(8) Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could into the hill country to a town in Judah. She went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, ‘Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord? Look, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy. Luke 1: 39-44
(9) Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ John 19: 25-26
(10) Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ ... John 19: 27
Dear Jesus, I love You. Not breath, not any words I know can describe my love for You. You are the life in my soul. You are my beginning and my end. Without You I would not want to live. I love You with the deepest love. Words are so flimsy to describe what I feel for You. I love You so much when I am united with You in Communion. You are my Beloved. You are so sweet. You are always there. You always love me and how little I give back to You! I experience your presence within me sometimes and I feel so close I cannot describe it. I want greater union with You. I thirst after You. I want so desperately to be so united to You always with the deepest intensity, never to leave You. My heart knows what my pen cannot write. Oh, Your presence in my soul! I love You so and long for You to be so close to me. Your presence pervades my soul!November 13, 1994
My First Love Letter to Jesus
Messenger:
Jesus: Continue to write love letters to Me and watch your love grow.
Song: I Thirst for Your Love
(Jesus speaks: Read this to Me especially after Communion and in front of the tabernacle)
Messenger: I need to learn how to give love to Jesus. I know He loves me. How do I love Him in return? I will do this: write letters of how I love Him, tell Him how I love Him, ask Him to give me grace to turn my cold heart to a heart on fire for love of Him.
When I love Him, I will see Him in my brothers and love them so much more. Oh, dear brothers, I don’t know how to love. Be patient with me, as Jesus teaches me His ways of love. I want to learn. Lord, turn my heart into a heart more like Yours.
Song: Teach Me to Love With Your Heart
December 8, 1994
I Am a mother
Messenger: My children were about 10 and 15
Jesus: My child,
I want you home with your children. I provide opportunities for you to be alone with them and you want to be with them. Doing My will is doing My will. Your children come first before others. I want you to pray at the Center when no one is there. You have a job as a mother. You have a responsibility. Oh child, it is hard to do what you know you should, but your heart leads the way. I am Jesus and I love you so much.

I Carried This Heavy Cross Laden With Your Sins
Messenger: Before Communion, after the Lamb of God, I saw His bare skin on the top of His body, a bare arm. I saw His head. I felt so connected to the fact that He was a man. Such a realization that Jesus said people dead in sin can be brought back to life. He rose from the dead. I wanted to touch His skin and hold His lifeless body. Two days ago after the consecration I had such a realization of Him carrying the cross so heavy with our sins. Almost as if I felt the weight of it, as if I was there - so close to Him and looking into His face. In my heart I felt Him saying, "I carried this heavy cross laden with sins and they do not remember Me."
One night and the next day, I had such an awareness of His arm. Such love for the left arm that carried the cross and hung to the cross with a nail. It's like I can see His skin. I am there with Him. It's such a visual experience, but I'm there and I'm feeling it. I would have liked to have touched His skin and held His body. It's like I'm there. I am there with Him, that's what it is. I'm not thinking about the passion during the Mass. These experiences just happen.

Feast of the Holy Family
Sorrowful Mysteries
The Agony in the Garden
1. Jesus' greatest agony all through His passion, were the agonies He felt to His most Sacred Heart because He loves each one of us all so dearly.
2. Put yourself in the Garden and hear the sounds of the night. See Jesus there. Jesus sees before Him all of the sufferings that He will undergo His whole entire Passion, and with greatest love He complies to the will of the Father to go through this suffering for great love of each of us.
3. He loves each soul with the most tender love; and He saw before Him all the souls that He loved so dearly that would be condemned to eternal damnation forever.
4. He saw before Him all the men from all time and all the sins that they would commit despite His grace and His great love that He outpours to them from His Most Sacred Heart.
5. Jesus is Love. He has the tenderest Heart and He loves each soul so dearly. And to be neglected and treated so indifferently, how it wounded His Most Sacred Heart; and He suffered this agony so greatly in the garden.
6. He suffered so for the indifference shown to Him around the Sacrament of the Eucharist where He is truly present in His Divinity and humanity. Jesus gives Himself to souls and they neglect Him; some do not even talk to Him.
7. His agony was so great that His sweat became as great drops of blood.
8. Jesus: I sweat Blood for My Beloved souls.
9. Jesus: I love you so much.
10. Sing song: Come unto Me all who are weary
The Scourging at the Pillar
1. Jesus suffered so much agony to His Heart because Judas, whom He loved so dearly, Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss.
2. They tied Jesus to the pillar.
3. Be there at the pillar with Jesus and hear the blows that He received to His most precious back. Hear the sounds as the angry men with such hatred in their hearts, such anger, beat Jesus to their own exhaustion.
4. Jesus' once unblemished back was an open wound from the anger and hatred that these men beat Him as they did.
5. From His head to His feet, Jesus was beaten so badly. Jesus, who is the Son of God, who is Love, who comes to us with the greatest love and asks us to love God and to love one another was beaten by those He loved so much.
6. His greatest agony was not His wounds to His Body or the blood that ran down His body; but His greatest agony was for the cold hearts that will not open their hearts to the love that He pours out to them this day. He calls out to us to come to the love of God.
7. He remains in the Eucharist, no less present than the day they scourged Him at the pillar; and He wants us to come and to be so close to Him so He can give us such love.
8. Jesus loves us no less than the day they beat Him for our sins. Jesus would die for us this day.
9. He is in the tabernacle. Jesus is waiting for us. Jesus loves us always — in joy and suffering. Jesus will never abandon us; Jesus is forever by our side. Jesus wants us to come to Him always.
10. Jesus: Oh, you cold hearts! Do you not listen to My call to you to open up your heart and to let Me in? I suffered so much agony. Meditate on My passion. Open up your heart this evening. Let me speak to you in your heart. It is there that your peace and love and your joy lies. I am Jesus, your Beloved Savior. I wait for you; I long for you. I want to share My love with you; the love that I have for you this day. Open your heart to My Love. Let Me penetrate your being with My love; and the joy that you will have is a joy that nothing on this earth can give to you. It is My Divine Love, My Divine Life that I give to you this day. Open your heart and let Me in.
The Crowning of Thorns
1. They wove for Jesus a sharp crown of piercing thorns and they pounded it into His Most Precious Head.
2. They clothed Him with a dirty purple robe and gave Him a scepter to hold and mocked Him as a King.
3. They spit on Him and mocked Him.
4. This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God; and He comes to us with the great love that He has. And He asks us to be there and watch as they crown Him with thorns. He would withstand this torture for us this day. This is the love that He has: that He gave His blood; that He gave His flesh; that He gave His all. And He calls out to us to please open our hearts to the love that He has for us.
5. As He suffered so for all the sins of all men, He was comforted by the acts of love that we give to Him this very day: the time that we spend with Him after the Eucharist and the time that we spend with Him in front of the Tabernacle.
6. Jesus loves us so much He withstood this beating for love of us.
7. Jesus suffered for our sins.
8. Jesus wants us to love Him today.
9. Jesus wants a personal love relationship with Him.
10. Jesus is our spouse — the bridegroom of our soul.
Jesus Carries His Cross
1. See the men as they stand around Jesus. With a lance they poke at him. See Jesus, His face always at total peace because He knew the Father's love. His hands were tied. He stood there, Jesus, who is all loving; and they condemn Him to death on the cross.
2. Jesus remained at peace through all the torture that He withstood because He knew the Father's love. The Father loves each one of us so much. The Father created each one of us uniquely special. There is not another person that is quite like us. The Father has a plan for each one of us and He wants us to be happy and to live this plan.
3. They gave to Jesus a heavy cross that they put on His shoulder; and His shoulder felt as if it would break through to the ground.
4. Jesus' eyes met the eyes of His loving Mother. Mary, who raised Jesus as a little baby, who carried Him in her womb, who stood by Him all through His life, and now walks by Jesus on Calvary and her eyes met His. There is such intimacy between Jesus and His Mother. Such love between His Heart and her heart. And it is the love that They have in Their Hearts that They want to give to us this very day.
5. As Mary walked by Jesus' side, she walks by our side this very day. She never abandons us. She withstood all of His suffering on Calvary; and God will give us the grace to withstand our trials if we pray for it this day. And Mary walks by our side as she walked by the side of Jesus, her Son, on Calvary.
6. Song: Lord, let me walk that lonesome road with you under the weight of the wood. Lord, let me walk that last mile in your shoes, under the weight of the wood.
7. Jesus: Carry your crosses today and love Me. Tell the world to carry the little crosses I give them and to pray for grace for the priests, the Church and the world.
8. Song: See the Eyes that look at Mary
9. Song: A Song From Jesus
10. Song: I Love You Jesus
Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross
1. See Mary as she held Jesus, His little baby hands and feet; and see her as she stands by as they nail His precious hands and feet to the cross.
2. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet
3. Mary cries out this day; Mary has come as Our Lady of Light to tell us to turn our lives back to the love of her Son. It is there that our peace and our joy lie.
4. He gave His flesh; He gave His blood; He gave the last beat of His Heart; and He asks us for two things; He asks us to love God and to love one another.
5. Jesus loved those who persecuted Him; Jesus loved those who crucified Him.
6. As Jesus gave Himself, His arms outstretched and gave His all for love of us, He asks us today to come to the Eucharist. Jesus gives Himself to us there. Jesus gave Himself to us when He died on the cross. And He waits for us with such love that only He can give to us.
7. He hung for three agonizing hours on the cross and His last thoughts were for us; and He gave His Mother. As Mary mothered Jesus, she mothers each and everyone of us.
8. Mary, open our hearts to the love of your Precious Son. It is through your Most Immaculate Heart, your heart that knew Him, that we will be led to closer union with Jesus who loves us so much.
9. As she held Him in her arms as a baby, she now receives His lifeless body in her arms under the cross.
Battered, bruised and bloody, He has not a breath in His body. He gave His all because He loves us so much. Jesus calls us to love God and love of one another.
10. Jesus: I AM JESUS, THE SON OF GOD AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH — I DIED FOR YOU AND I remain with you today, truly present in the Eucharist.
Jesus appeared in magnificent light as the Sacred Heart. Jesus illuminated brightly throughout the entire rosary and throughout the entire talk.
This rosary was prayed at the home of a friend of Rita's. There were about 20 people present. Marty led the rosary. Rita gave a witness/talk and sang some of the songs she received from Jesus.
Messenger: When I received this message the pen turned gold and
there was so much power in it I could
hardly hold the pen, then He said He wanted
every soul on the earth to read it.
12 Years Ago
I Love You
(Letter for Front of B.B. II)
April 13, 1994
How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things, when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the cross.
Do you know I am truly present there? Do you know that God waits every day for you in the tabernacle? Do you comprehend even a minute amount of My love? You will never on earth know how I love you.
I, Jesus, truly the Son of God, came to earth a man and suffered a brutal death for love of you. I love you so much! I remain with you this day. I long for your love. I want you to come and be with Me in front of the tabernacle. I wait, I yearn for you to come and whisper your love to Me. I am a Person and I love you this day with such an ardent, on-fire love. No human could ever compare a speck to My love for you.
I wait, little ones, in the tabernacle. I wait for you to come and receive Me in Communion. I want you to want Me so much that you cannot wait to come and receive Me. I want to be the love, the Center of your life!
I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am writing to you this day. I want to possess your very soul and live in you. I have all you need, sweet ones. Oh, you are so blind! I long for your union with Me. I wrote the book on love. I instituted it, yet you go to the world for your love and do not even come to Me! Oh, I love you, little ones. Little ones, beloved of the Father, loved by the Holy Spirit, mothered by My very own mother, what more can I say? The rest is up to you!
I give you your will with such love and I want your love, freely given. I am God. What do you think you could ever need that I do not give you? I am the Savior of this world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I am God. I have all you ever will need!
Surrender this life to Me. Pray My prayer for union with Me. I want to possess your soul and operate from your very being. I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am Who am. I died and rose on the third day.
Harken to My call, harken to My pleading. Spend your days in love with Me. Nothing matters unless it is rooted in Me and rooted in My love. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I love you with the tenderest love. I am waiting this day for you, My beloved one. Come to Me for I am the tenderest of all hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

December 1994
Messenger: His body held lifeless by His loving Mother. Look upon the lifeless body of Christ. This is love that He gave Himself for love of us. To His death on the cross He loved us.
Jesus: Be the light to the world. I live within you — others see My light in you. I am He who loves this world so much, My Father gave to you His only Son.
Messenger: I see the wrapped up body of Jesus being placed in the tomb. What Jesus did for us. He came into this world wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. He was wrapped after His death and laid in a tomb. Mary was there, with joy in her heart of birth and immense sorrow in her heart weeping as they laid Him in the tomb. How well the heart of Mary knows the precious Heart of her Son.
He was born a baby. Wrapped and lifeless He was laid in the tomb. This is God who humbled Himself to be born a baby and lifelessly laid in the tomb.
Oh what of this lifeless body of Jesus. What of He who laid as an infant in a manger, this is, my children, the Son of God, born of Mary, in a little town of Bethlehem for our Salvation. He took the nature of a slave to be a man like us, a man like us.
Oh are we loved, dear little ones, are we love or do we wonder and complain for no one cares and loves us.
What do we want? He came as a baby, He showed us how to live. He died on the cross, He was laid lifeless in a tomb, to bring us His life. Life eternal. He rose on the third day.
Oh good God, who am I that you shed this goodness to Me. You who are all good, how can I say I love you and not give good to my brothers.
Open my heart to be like your heart Lord.
I close my heart up and put up walls to protect me. when you are my DIVINE protector. You protect me, my job is to live in you. Oh I consecrate my heart and my life to you. I consecrate my life to you.
Song: See the Eyes That Look At Mary
Messenger: Wake us up, let us see that you are truly Christ the lord, we need your grace, we consecrate ourselves to you.
See the eyes that look at Mary, she is gazing steadily upon her infant Son.
Let me gaze on You steadily Lord. You are my Savior. Help me to keep my eyes on You. You were born a little baby to show me the way. Now I must gaze on You ever steadily for You are the Savior of the World. It is through You I am raised to new life. From the tomb He came forth at the resurrection in His glorified body, that we may share in His life and have it to the full.
Sing the song: Now We Remain
Jesus: Be of a pure heart. Wash away all debris in your heart. Love each child as the unique child of My Father.
Oh children how you love with such reservation. Pureness, let go, surrender to the loving arms of God.
Messenger:
Love of Mother
Love of FatherLove of Husband
Love of childrenHe provides love for our every need, so we are not slavishly dependent.
He and He alone feeds the hungry soul.
We have need for approval — God the Father created us, we are His creation.
He loves me. If I realize this I can give His love to others. He really loves me that He died for me.
December 31, 1994 - Very Early Morning at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center
Jesus Appearing as the Resurrected Lord, All White, Sitting Next to Where Mary Appeared.
So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too should begin living a new life.
But we believe that, if we died with Christ, then we shall live with him too. We know that Christ has been raised from the dead and will never die again. Death has no power over him any more. Romans 6: 4, 9
And after this perishable nature has put on imperishability and this mortal nature has put on immortality, then will the words of scripture come true: Death is swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin comes from the Law. Thank God, then, for giving us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 15: 54 -58
Messenger: I love my son so dearly, there is such a connection in my heart to him. He is ten years old. I know him in my heart from a little baby, when I carried him in my womb. His whole life is recorded in my memory.
Mary's heart knew her Son. The anguish at losing Him in the temple, the anguish, how her heart was in such pain, it is inexpressible in words.
As is the joy, inexpressible for me of the resurrected Lord to appear to me next to the Sorrowful Mother. It is such joy for me to meditate on this mystery to remember the vision, to see Him clothed in white, His body so beautiful. I saw Him so beautiful, sitting all in white next to where Mary appeared triumphant! Jesus rose from the dead. I cannot express this magnificent sight of Jesus in His resurrected beauty as I saw Him.
Note today December 28, 2005: (I recalled the vision of December 5th, 96 when He appeared to me at the point of death hanging on the cross.)
Death - Resurrection
Why do we worry about so many things Jesus is with us. He shows us His death and resurrection.
God took the nature of a slave, He put on a human body, He was born a baby, He died by crucifixion.
Jesus: Do not fear, there is fear in your heart, I am with you, surrender totally to the will of the Father.
Messenger: I see the risen Lord as He sits all in white in a chair, here, next to the Sorrowful Mother. When I saw Jesus in the parking lot He was wearing a white tunic looking like the resurrected Lord with His hands outstretched.
I want to get in touch with Jesus. He took on a human body, He lived, He died, He rose.
Jesus is God, He is Lord over all the earth and He took on a human form for greatest love of us. He was born a baby. He was carried in His Mother's womb. Oh Holy dwelling place of God, Mary's womb, Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God.
Sing: Oh Holy Mary
Philippians 2: 7-8
But he emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
becoming as human beings are;
and being in every way
like a human being,
he was humbler yet,
even to accepting death,
death on a cross.
Sing the Song of Jesus Christ
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. They were still staring into the sky as he went, when suddenly two men in white were standing beside them, and they said, ‘Why are you Galileans standing here looking into the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way as you have seen him go to heaven.’ Acts 1: 6-11
Messenger: The Apostles' hearts were in such sorrow to see Jesus go, their eyes in awe to see Jesus go to heaven.
God the Father: I am pleased, My daughter, with the work you are doing, how I love you, My beloved one.
Do not focus on yourself, focus on the other, always the other, Jesus focused on the other.
Messenger: Think of the love of the Trinity -- it is a mystery -- the love of the Trinity.
Excerpt from Response to God's Love Chapter 1 by Father Edward Carter, S.J.
...In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.
The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.
At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).
Messenger: The more I realize the love of the Triune God, love of Mary, the love of the angels and saints -- I am in awe!!
Jesus takes care of my needs. Why should I talk about myself or anyone else when we could be talking about the mystery of God.
Why talk about incidentals when I could be talking about God.
He is Divine, He is who I love, that is it, when people are discussing the napkins, I want to talk about Jesus.
Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles
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. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves. Acts 2: 1-4
Messenger: The Apostles were transformed from fear to fearlessness.
Now there were devout men living in Jerusalem from every nation under heaven, and at this sound they all assembled, and each one was bewildered to hear these men speaking his own language. They were amazed and astonished. ‘Surely,’ they said, ‘all these men speaking are Galileans? How does it happen that each of us hears them in his own native language? Acts 2: 5-8
Mary Went Up into Heaven
Sing: Immaculate Mary
Sing: On This Day Oh Beautiful Mother
In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?’ The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God. And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God.’ Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her. Luke 1: 26-38
Now it happened that at this time Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be made of the whole inhabited world. This census—the first—took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria, and everyone went to be registered, each to his own town. So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in Galilee for Judaea, to David’s town called Bethlehem, since he was of David’s House and line, in order to be registered together with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. Now it happened that, while they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to a son, her first–born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the living–space. Luke 2:1-7
Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. John 19: 25-27
From the Glorious Rosary Aves
3. R. Imagine her joy to hear the choirs of angelic voices! Imagine her joy to see the angels and saints praising God!
4. R. She-who carried the baby Jesus in her womb, who held Him in her arms, who walked by His side during the Passion, who stood under His cross, who held His lifeless body and watched Him locked in the tomb-was now crowned Queen of Heaven, forever to reign in the court of heaven with her beloved Son.
Mary is Crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. Revelation 12: 1
Sing: Hail Holy Queen
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'
Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."' Then he said to me, 'It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.'
One of the seven angels that had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came to speak to me and said, 'Come here and I will show you the bride that the Lamb has married.' In the spirit, he carried me to the top of a very high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God. Revelation 21: 1-10The one who attests these things says: I am indeed coming soon. Amen; come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20

Feast of St. Peter Canisius
Glorious Mysteries
Resurrection
1. Jesus died to bring us new life. After being locked in the tomb for three days after His crucifixion, He arose on the third day as He foretold.
2. When we suffer sometimes it seems so hard to bear, but in all the suffering, if we cooperate with the will of God, there is a deeper sharing in His life that this suffering brings, the life that Jesus wants us to share when we go through this suffering.
3. He came that we might have a share in His life, so that we might have life and have it to the full.
4. Mary Magdalene and some of the others went to the tomb. The stone had been rolled back.
5. Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene. She didn't know who He was at first, but then she realized that it was Jesus. He told her not to touch Him because He had not gone to His Father yet.
6. Jesus appeared to the apostles. They had locked themselves in a room because they were afraid.
7. He traveled with two men on the way to Emmaus and recounted to them the scriptures that referred to Him from Moses and all the prophets.
8. When they got to Emmaus, they sat at table and He broke bread and blessed it. Then they recognized Him, but He vanished from their sight.
9. Later He appeared to the apostles. Thomas was with them and he wanted to put his hands into Jesus' hands and feet. And Jesus said, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."
10. Jesus gave to them the power to baptize and to forgive sins.
The Ascension
1. When we are baptized, we share in God's life in a special way.
2. He took them out to the town of Bethany and gave them His final blessing.
3. Then he raised His arms and ascended into heaven.
4. Think of this. Jesus rose from the dead and He ascended into heaven.
5. He died - He rose from the dead - He ascended into heaven.
6. "But our homeland is in heaven and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transfigure the wretched body of ours into the mould of his glorious body, through the working of the power which he has, even to bring all things under his mastery." Phillipians 3:20-21
7. Think of Mary and the apostles and how they felt to see Jesus leave.
8. Jesus is truly present today in the Holy Eucharist, He remains with us in love.
9. Song: A Song From Jesus - I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior.
10. He gives us a special sharing in His life in baptism. Song: I Am the Bread of Life.John 6: 53-58
Jesus replied to them:
In all truth I tell you,
if you do not eat
the flesh of the Son of man
and drink his blood,
you have no life in you.
Anyone who does eat my flesh
and drink my blood
has eternal life,
and I shall raise that person up
on the last day.
For my flesh is real food
and my blood is real drink.
Whoever eats my flesh
and drinks my blood
lives in me
and I live in that person.
As the living Father sent me
and I draw life from the Father,
so whoever eats me
will also draw life from me.
This is the bread
which has come down from heaven;
it is not like the bread our ancestors ate:
they are dead,
but anyone who eats this bread
will live for ever.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit
1. "John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’" Acts 1: 5
2. "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;" Acts 2: 1-2
3. "and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them." Acts 2: 3
4. "They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves." Acts 2: 4
5. And the apostles were transformed from fear to fearlessness.
6. Holy Spirit, transform us to be more and more like Christ so that we may be led to deeper union with the Father, through Mary's Immaculate Heart. Mary, please help us to be joined ever so closely to your Immaculate Heart.
7. Song: Come Holy Ghost (1st verse)
8. The apostles that were once full of fear, now went out to preach the Gospel and all understood. And where they were once so fearful, now they were not afraid. They were fearless and transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit and His magnificent grace.
9. Holy Spirit, impart to us the grace that we need to be drawn ever closer to the most Sacred Heart of Jesus through His most loving Mother. Help us to have the courage to do that which God has created us to do and to follow the plan of the Father. Where we were once full of fear, make us now fearless to follow Your calling.
10. Song: Come Holy Spirit, fill our hearts
The Assumption of Mary into Heaven
1. Mary remained on the earth a long time after Jesus' death.
2. And when her time had come, she was taken up into heaven.
3. She loved Jesus so much.
4. Mary is with God forever in heaven.
5. Mary has the closest union to God.
6. She is our Heavenly Mother. She wants to guide us to an ever closer and intimate union with her most precious Son. It is through her Immaculate Heart that we will achieve a most intimate union in the inner recesses of His Most Sacred Heart.
7. All that is of any account, is always rooted in God. The greater our union here on earth, the greater our union will be with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit when we get to heaven, which is our true home.
8. Jesus longs to be ever closer and closer and closer to us. In order to have this intense union with Him, it is necessary to realize the oneness between Jesus and Mary, and go through Mary's Immaculate Heart to reach such deep union with Him.
9. Mary, hold us so close to your heart; mother us. Help us to know you as our most Loving Mother whom Jesus gave to us, and lead us to such close intimacy to your Beloved Son and His Most Sacred Heart.
10. Holy Spirit, please transform us more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus.
Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth
1. Now Mary reigns with her Beloved Son in the courts of heaven.
2. "Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars." Revelation 12: 1
3. "What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him;" 1 Corinthians 2:9
4. Such preciousness, those moments after communion, this special union with Jesus. Such burning love He has for us, and we love Him. We share a most intimate communion with Jesus. Our union with Jesus here below is a speck amount compared to the intense union that we will have with Him that will last forever and ever and ever and never end in heaven.
5. This intense union that we have with Jesus and with Mary leads us ever closer and closer to the most tender love of Our Father in the Holy Spirit.
6. No person, nothing that we experience here can ever compare to the intimate union that we have interiorly with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in union with Mary.
7. That is what heaven is: this unending intense union with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and seeing Mary and being with her and all the angels and saints in such bliss forever and ever and ever.
8. Song: Hail Holy Queen Enthroned Above - 1st verse and refrain
9. Song: Ave Maria, Gratia plena, Dominus tecum, Benedicta tu
10. Mary is with us this very day. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. This is God's world. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist with the most ardent love for each one of us. Jesus remains in the Eucharist and longs and waits for each one of us. And someday we can be forever in such intense union with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, in union with Mary and the angels and saints forever and ever and ever in heaven. We cannot imagine in any way what heaven is like. God's Divine embrace in heaven, such a gift.
Messenger: The Blessed Mother appeared to me during this rosary. It was a live rosary transcribed from a tape. I received this during Mary's apparition. I was there with my two children and Marty while Mary appeared.
The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary
1. The Prophecy of Simeon. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.
2. The Flight into Egypt. "After they had left, suddenly the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother with you, and escape into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, because Herod intends to search for the child and do away with him.’ So Joseph got up and, taking the child and his mother with him, left that night for Egypt, where he stayed until Herod was dead. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: I called my son out of Egypt. Herod was furious on realising that he had been fooled by the wise men, and in Bethlehem and its surrounding district he had all the male children killed who were two years old or less, reckoning by the date he had been careful to ask the wise men. Then were fulfilled the words spoken through the prophet Jeremiah: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamenting and weeping bitterly: it is Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted because they are no more." Matthew 2: 13-18
3. The loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple. Think of Mary's and Joseph's hearts in such sorrow as they search for the child Jesus.
4. Jesus and Mary meet on the Way to the Cross. Such intense suffering as they peer into one another eyes: but joy to see the other.
5. Jesus Dies on the Cross. Stand with Mary under the cross and see through her eyes her Beloved Son as He hangs on the cross, as He dies. Her little beloved child that she once held in her arms, now she sees Him hang from the cross.
6. Mary Receives His Lifeless Body under the Cross. Such love this Mother had for her Son and has for each one of us this day. Such love Jesus has for us that He gave His life, and such love that the Father has for us that He gave His Son. Jesus calls out to us to realize this intense love that He has for us, that He truly died and was laid in His Mother's arms without a breath in His body. He gave Himself in compliance to the Father's will and in greatest love for us. He calls out to us this day to take this seriously: that this is His world; our every breath depends on Him; our every heartbeat depends on Him; and we do nothing without God. But He calls us only to love, love of God and love of one another. Reach out and spread His love to this hurting world. This is our calling this day. Do not be blinded by the world. Pray to the Holy Spirit, to see the world through God's eyes and see as God wants us to see this world. We are His servants to spread His love to this world and He longs and waits for us to come to Him to receive this love that He pours out in abundance to us so that we can love our brothers as He wants to love through us.
Jesus: I call you My children to love; love of one another. Will you answer this call this day? Turn not a deaf ear to Me. Open up your hearts and let Me enter in. I want to love through you, My beloved ones. I love you with the dearest love. My Heart is open and on fire for each one of you. Come and I will pour My love out to you.
7. Jesus is placed in the Tomb. And Mary weeps bitterly outside.

Sorrowful Mysteries
The Agony in the Garden
1. R. Put yourself in the garden with Jesus as He kneels in the darkened night and suffers so much agony to His Precious Heart.
2. R. Jesus loves each and every soul with the deepest, tenderest, burning love of His Most Sacred Heart.
3. R. Jesus is Divine Love. He is Love!
4. R. Jesus saw before Him all the souls that would neglect Him and treat Him with such indifference, and he loved every soul so dearly.
5. R. Jesus saw before Him all the sins of all men for all time, all the hatred, all the anger, all the injustices that men do to one another. And He is Love!
6. R. Jesus asks us for two things: to love God and to love one another.
7. R. Jesus came to earth. He was born a man and He suffered all the sufferings that He suffered all through the Passion for deepest love of us. He saw before Him everything that He would endure throughout the entire Passion to His death.
8. R. Jesus saw each soul that He loved so very tenderly and He saw the souls that would be condemned to eternal damnation despite all His sufferings.
9. R. We cannot fathom the suffering that He experience to His Most Sacred Heart because we do not understand His unbounded love that He has for each one of us. Think of how it is to love someone so much and for them to treat you coldly.
10. R. Jesus suffered for each and every soul, for all their sins, for all their neglect, for the endless hours that He would wait in the Tabernacle for His beloved souls to come and be with Him; and His sweat was so great that it turned into blood.
Song between decades: A Song from Jesus
The Scourging at the Pillar
1. R. They led Jesus away and they hit His face and they tied Him so harshly to a pillar.
2. R. Their hearts filled with so much hatred, they beat Jesus to their own exhaustion.
3. R. Jesus' once unblemished back was now an open wound.
4. R. Think of how it is when you cut yourself. But think of the wounds on Jesus, the deep wounds that they gave to Him.
5. R. Be there in a dimly lit room and see Jesus and hear the sounds of the blows. Hear the blows as they hit Jesus.
6. R. All of the wounds that He suffered were not as wounding as the wounds that He suffered to His Most Sacred Heart for the love that He has for each one of us, overwhelming love that He wants to pour out and give to each one of us this day; that He remains in the Eucharist and gives Himself to each one of us and He waits and longs and wants us to come and to love Him and to give us His love.
7. R. Jesus is wounded so by the lukewarm souls: those who love Him and those who forget Him.
8. R. Jesus is here this day. He remains with us in greatest love. He longs for us to come and to receive Him in the Eucharist. He longs for us to talk to Him through the day. If we are baptized and in the state of grace God dwells in us in a special way.
9. R. Think of the sins of the flesh this day.
10. Song: I Love You Jesus

Jesus' Head is Crowned with Thorns
1. R. They clothed Jesus in a dirty purple robe, they gave Him a scepter to hold, and pounded into His Most Precious Head a sharp crown of piercing thorns.
2. R. Think of the blood that Jesus shed for each one of us. The blood from the thorns that ran down His face. The blood on His body from where He was beaten. This was the blood that He shed because He truly loves us so dearly.
3. R. They spit on Him. They hollered slanders at Him. And He is God! He sat and took all of this torture and He did not answer back.
4. R. Jesus came to show us the way. He was born a baby!
5. R.. Jesus suffered so much physically, but He suffered so much to His Most Precious Heart and He calls out to us today to realize how much He loves each one of us with a burning Heart that is on fire with love for each one of us.
6. R. Jesus would suffer this anguish for each one of us this day because He loves us so much.
7. R. Jesus wants such close union with each one of us.
8. R. Do you see the thorns that they pounded into His Head? Think of all that He suffered. Be there - watch! This is Jesus Christ the Son of God! Watch as they pounded thorns into His Head, as they hit Him, as they mocked Him! If you were standing there and saw this treatment of our Beloved Jesus would you realize the love that He truly has for you this day?
9. Song: Crown Him with Many Crowns
10. Song: I Love You Jesus
Song between decades: A Song from Jesus
Jesus Carries His Cross
1. Jesus: They pounded into My Head a sharp crown of thorns, so demeaning, so hateful!
2. Jesus: I call you to love. I loved those who persecuted Me. I loved those who treated Me so harshly.
3. R. They poked at Jesus with their angry faces. They stood around and they condemned Him to death on a cross.
4. R. They gave to Him a heavy cross that they put on His shoulder and He carried the cross and His shoulder felt as if it would break.
5. R. Jesus could barely walk with the weight of the cross as it bumped along the road. Hear the sounds as the cross thumps along the road. Stand there with His Mother and see Jesus covered with blood as He carries His cross, so humbly and lovingly.
6. R. What is the cross that you carry this day? Jesus showed us the way. It is in suffering that we are brought to new life!
7. R. Jesus' Mother peered into His eyes and Jesus peered into His Mother's eyes. And in that look is the look of such tenderness and love between this Son who loved His Mother so dearly and this Mother who loved her Son so dearly.
8. R. Mary stood by through the entire Passion, her heart wounded so within her chest watching her Beloved Son as He walked.
9. R. Mary saw every single event that happened to Jesus, and she comes this day and she asks you to see through her eyes the love that He had in order to endure this suffering for you.
10. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
Song between decades: A Song from Jesus
The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus
1. R. See the little hands and the little feet of Jesus and stand with Mary now and feel the anguish to her heart as she watches them pound nails into these beloved Hands of her Most Precious Son.
2. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet
3. R. See Mary as she stands under the cross and her Son hangs for three agonizing hours.
4. R. Mary is His Mother. Helplessly she underwent all of this torture to her most tender heart.
5. Song: At the Cross her Station Keeping
6. R. Mary has called you here to be a special apostle, to spread the love of Jesus' Most Sacred Heart to this world. Mary asks you to see through Her eyes His life, from when He was conceived in her womb until He ascended into Heaven and to know through her heart the tender love of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
7. R. The love in Jesus' Heart that He gave His very flesh, His very blood and His very life for each and every one of us.
8. R. Jesus calls out today that He gives us His life. He gives it to us in the Eucharist and He wants us to come with a heart of love and purity, a heart that is ready to give Him love and to receive His Divine Love.
9. Jesus: Let go of all things that bind you from union to My Most Sacred Heart. Let go of your anger. Let go of your resentments. A heart of anger cannot unite with love. You must dismiss all of your anger and come with a pure heart. For what I have to give you is a Heart filled with My Divine Love.
10. Song: A Song From Jesus

Sorrowful Mysteries
The Agony in the Garden
1. R. Jesus was alone in the dark night in the garden.
2. R. Jesus saw before Him all the souls of all time and He loved each soul so dearly and He knew of the souls that would neglect Him and treat Him with such indifference.
3. R. Jesus knew of the souls that would be condemned to eternal damnation despite all the sufferings He was about to undergo.
4. R. And Jesus' greatest agonies were the agonies to His Most Sacred Heart.
5. R. Jesus is God. He has all the power.
6. R. The same Jesus that was in the garden in such agony that saw all the sins of all men of all time, that same Jesus is here present in this room with us in His Divinity and humanity.
7. R. And Jesus has all the power - He is the Almighty God!
8. R. Our every breath, our every heartbeat depends on Him.
9. R. You, dear Jesus, have all the power. Protect us. Help us to not fear when we should not. Cast away fear and doubt and let us know Your presence. Rock us so tenderly in Your Heart so we will know the immensity of Your Divine Love.
10. R. Divine Love! Divine Life! Jesus Christ is born a little baby in the town of Bethlehem because He loved us so much, and He remains with us this very day. Behind the tabernacle doors is God truly present the same as He was when He was carried in Mary's womb.
Song between decades: A Song from Jesus
The Scourging at the Pillar
1. R. Be there with Jesus at the pillar and hear the blows they gave to Him. They beat Jesus to their own exhaustion and Jesus stood and took all of this and loved those who attacked Him.
2. R. Put yourself there in the dim light. Stand beside the other men as they stand and watch Jesus. And for love of us He surrendered - God - to such treatment that men took their whips and they tore His flesh. He loves us this much that He would withstand this treatment for us this day.
3. R. Behind the Tabernacle doors is this same God, Jesus Christ, that stood at the pillar and allowed His body to be torn and scourged.
4. R. Impart to us Your grace so that we may receive whatever we need at this moment to be drawn ever closer to You; to realize the presence of You in this very room, Our God, Jesus Christ, the Son of God made man, incarnate in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary for greatest love of us!
5. R. May the Holy Spirit descend upon us and may our hearts be transformed more and more into the image of Jesus.
6. R. Jesus cries out to let go of it all, surrender, yielding of yourself, as He is tied to the pillar. And God, made man, could have at any second broke the chains that bound Him, but with greatest love He surrendered to the will of the Father.
Jesus: Surrender to the will of My Father! It is in surrendering that you are drawn closest to Me. You must become as babies at the breast!
7. Jesus: My Heart is an endless furnace of burning love. It is My Heart that suffered so throughout the whole Passion to love so much and to be treated with such indifference and disrespect and hatred by the souls that I loved so dearly.
8. R. They took Him from the pillar and then they led Him away. The earth was marked with His bloody footprints, the Most Precious Blood of the Son of God who came to this world to save us from our sins!
9. Sing: Lord, let me walk that last mile in your shoes
10. R. Follow the Master as He trod through the Passion onto Calvary. Follow in His footsteps as He shows us the way to follow always in surrender, always in love, always total submission to the will of the Father.
Song between decades: A Song from Jesus
The Head of Jesus is Crowned with Thorns
1. Song: Let go, let go. You hold on so tight to the things that are near you not ever right.
2. R. Surrender! Surrender to Jesus! He has all the Power! He is the Son of God!
3. R. They pounded into His Most Precious Head a Crown of Piercing Thorns. And His Most Precious Blood ran from His face into His eyes and into His ears. He was given a dirty purple robe and a scepter and mocked as a king.
4. R. Oh God, far more than any earthly king are You! You are the King of the Kingdom of Heaven! You are God! You are Jesus Christ, the Son of God and You are here present with us in the Tabernacle and we worry for such little things when God is here in our midst!
5. R. Jesus open up our hearts to You. Open up our minds and fill our hearts with the fire of Your Love so that we may get the gift of wisdom from You, dear Holy Spirit. Outpour Your gifts to us so that we may know all that we need to know to grow in deeper union with You.
6. R. As the doors of the Tabernacle open wide and in it there is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, open up your hearts and let Him enter in. He truly wants to be one in you. He truly wants to love you.
7. R. They spit on Him, they persecuted Him. They crowned him with this piercing crown of thorns, but Jesus withstood all the treatment because He knew the love of the Father. He knew in His Heart that it was only through this that we would be saved. His immense Heart of love that beats with such love for each one of us that He gave Himself, that He allowed Himself to be led away as an innocent lamb, led to the slaughter in total compliance. This is the act of surrender. The lesson He teaches us is to surrender to the will of the Father. To His very death, He surrendered to the Father. It is that which will make us the most happy and lead us ever closer to Him.
Isaiah 53: 7
Ill–treated and afflicted,
he never opened his mouth,
like a lamb led to the slaughter–house,
like a sheep dumb before its shearers
he never opened his mouth.8. Song: Little Child

The Carrying of the Cross
1. R. They gave to Jesus a heavy cross which was laden with the sins of the world. He carried the cross on His back. He did not give the cross back. He carried this cross until He fell under it.
2. R. Power and Might! God has all the Power! If you would remove the veil from the tabernacle, we could not even stand to sit here. We would fall on our faces under the power of God who is truly present here with us!
3. R. Jesus showed His power when His lifeless body was locked in the tomb for three days. And through the power of the Holy Spirit, He rose triumphant on the third day.
Jesus: And in all of your sufferings, know that not for one second do I ever leave you. I am forever present with you and I will guard you on your way. In your sufferings you will know greater life.
R. Life isn't life unless it is rooted in Him. Life without Him is mere existence!
4. R. And Mary's heart was pierced with a sword as she looked into His eyes on Calvary. And she saw her Beloved Son covered with blood, beaten and bruised. And she appears to us to tell us that He loved us so much that He went through all this anguish because He loves each and every one of us and He would do it today for each one of us.
5. R. Death has no power over Jesus!
6. R. The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus was always at total peace though He was persecuted, whipped, carried His cross, hung on the cross. He was always at total peace because He knew the Father's love. Jesus is God. The Father loves us so much that He created us and gave His only Son so that we could be saved.
7. R. Jesus calls us to two things: love of God and love of one another. It is His love radiating from our hearts that will light up this dark world. He has not forgotten us and He never leaves us.
8. Jesus: Carry your crosses. I am ever with you and I never ever give you more than you can stand.
9. Jesus: I watch you, child. And I knew that the suffering that you underwent was the very gem that led you closest to My Heart.
10. Jesus: I watched you, child. And I knew that if you did not go through this suffering you would not ever become that close to My Heart. I did not remove the suffering, I allowed you to suffer. But I watched you and was so close to you that you could have touched Me. I love you so dearly. I never leave you for a second.

1. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
2. R. You truly Jesus, are the same Jesus who hung on the cross for three agonizing hours. Your body was withered, Your blood was spent, and You hung there in such agony. You, God, at any moment could have stopped what was happening to You, but You knew that you must die and on the third day you would rise. In the deepest suffering, He never, ever, ever left us!
3. Jeremiah 1: 5
‘Before I formed you in the womb
I knew you;
before you came to birth
I consecrated you;
I appointed you as prophet to the nations.’4. Jesus: Each soul is so precious to Me that I gave My life for them.
5. Jesus: I spread My arms. My blood was spent to the last beat of My Heart. I complied to the Father's Will. Total surrender, but total peace knowing that I did His will.
R. He asks us to love God, love one another, to always live in the Father's will.
6. R. Your grace and Your life You outpour abundantly in the Tabernacle. You wait for Your souls to come to be with you and to receive you in the Eucharist. As You gave the last beat of Your Heart and the last drop of Your blood, as You died on the cross, You give to us this day, Jesus, Your grace and Your Love in the Sacrament of the Eucharist with greatest love!
7. R. Jesus' last thoughts were of us when He gave to us His Beloved Mother. She forever walks by our side, never abandons us, and loves us with the most tenderest of Hearts.
8. R. Think of how it is to cut your finger. Think of how it is to really hurt yourself. But think of what it would be like to mount a cross, to spread your arms and to die for love of souls!
9. R. Would we die this day for Him? If someone asked us, would we give ourselves totally and turn our lives over to Him and say Thy Will Be Done!
10. Jesus: It is in this surrender lies your peace and your joy, for nothing on the face of this earth matters if your soul does not get to Heaven with Me. I came and gave My life so that You can be with Me in Heaven. And I would give My life this day for you, My child. I love you with a burning love. I give Myself to you out of greatest love. Trust in Me! Open up your hearts! Turn everything over to Me! Surrender! Relax! Love! Be with Me!

This rosary was prayed in the Holy Spirit Chapel. Jesus and Mary appeared. Rita said that she saw a ray of light go forth from a candle to the tabernacle.
