Chapter 3
Now, the snake was the most subtle of
all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked
the woman, 'Did God really say you were not to eat from
any of the trees in the garden?' The woman answered the
snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden.
But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden
God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain
of death." ' Then the snake said to the woman, 'No! You
will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it
your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods,
knowing good from evil.' The woman saw that the tree was
good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was
enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took
some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her
husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes
of both of them were opened and they realised that they
were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make
themselves loin-cloths.
The man and his wife heard the sound
of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the
day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the
garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. 'Where are
you?' he asked. 'I heard the sound of you in the
garden,' he replied. 'I was afraid because I was naked,
so I hid.' 'Who told you that you were naked?' he asked.
'Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to
eat?' The man replied, 'It was the woman you put with
me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.'
Then Yahweh God said to the woman, 'Why did you do
that?' The woman replied, 'The snake tempted me and I
ate.'
Then Yahweh God said to the snake,
'Because you have done this,
Accursed be you
of all animals wild and tame!
On your belly you will go
and on dust you will feed
as long as you live.
I shall put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
it will bruise your head
and you will strike its heel.'
To the woman he said:
I shall give you intense pain
in childbearing,
you will give birth to your children
in pain.
Your yearning will be for your husband,
and he will dominate you.
To the man he said, 'Because you
listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree
of which I had forbidden you to eat,
Accursed be the soil because of
you!
Painfully will you get your food from it
as long as you live.
It will yield you brambles and thistles,
as you eat the produce of the land.
By the sweat of your face
will you earn you food,
until you return to the ground,
as you were taken from it.
For dust you are
and to dust you shall return.
The man named his wife 'Eve' because
she was the mother of all those who live. Yahweh God
made tunics of skins for the man and his wife and
clothed them. Then Yahweh God said, 'Now that the man
has become like one of us in knowing good from evil, he
must not be allowed to reach out his hand and pick from
the tree of life too, and eat and live for ever!' So
Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till
the soil from which he had been taken. He banished the
man, and in front of the garden of Eden he posted the
great winged creatures and the fiery flashing sword, to
guard the way to the tree of life.

Revelation
Chapter 12
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. She was pregnant, and in labour,
crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Then a
second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red
dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the
seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail swept a
third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to
the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the
woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that
it could eat the child as soon as it was born. The woman
was delivered of a boy, the son who was to
rule all the nations with an iron scepter, and the
child was taken straight up to God and to his throne,
while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had
prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve
hundred and sixty days.
And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael
with his angels attacked the dragon. The dragon fought
back with his angels, but they were defeated and driven
out of heaven. The great dragon, the primeval serpent,
known as the devil or Satan, who had led all the world
astray, was hurled down to the earth and his angels were
hurled down with him. Then I heard a voice shout from
heaven, 'Salvation and power and empire for ever have
been won by our God, and all authority for his Christ,
now that the accuser, who accused our brothers day and
night before our God, has been brought down. They have
triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the
word to which they bore witness, because even in the
face of death they did not cling to life. So let the
heavens rejoice and all who live there; but for you,
earth and sea, disaster is coming— because the devil has
gone down to you in a rage, knowing that he has little
time left.'
As soon as the dragon found himself hurled down
to the earth, he sprang in pursuit of the woman, the
mother of the male child, but she was given a pair of
the great eagle's wings to fly away from the serpent
into the desert, to the place where she was to be looked
after for a time, two times and half a time. So
the serpent vomited water from his mouth, like a river,
after the woman, to sweep her away in the current, but
the earth came to her rescue; it opened its mouth and
swallowed the river spewed from the dragon's mouth. Then
the dragon was enraged with the woman and went away to
make war on the rest of her children, who obey God's
commandments and have in themselves the witness of
Jesus.

Luke 1: 46-55
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.

John 19: 25-27
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.
9)
John 17
After saying this, Jesus raised his eyes to heaven
and said:
Father, the hour has come:
glorify your Son
so that your Son may glorify you;
so that, just as you have given him
power over all humanity,
he may give eternal life
to all those you have entrusted to him.
And eternal life is this:
to know you,
the only true God,
and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.
I have glorified you on earth
by finishing the work
that you gave me to do.
Now, Father, glorify me
with that glory I had with you
before ever the world existed.
I have revealed your name
to those whom you took from the world
to give me.
They were yours
and you gave them to me,
and they have kept your word.
Now at last they have recognised
that all you have given me
comes from you
for I have given them
the teaching you gave to me,
and they have indeed accepted it
and know for certain
that I came from you,
and have believed
that it was you who sent me.
It is for them that I pray.
I am not praying for the world
but for those you have given me,
because they belong to you.
All I have is yours
and all you have is mine,
and in them I am glorified.
I am no longer in the world,
but they are in the world,
and I am coming to you.
Holy Father,
keep those you have given me
true to your name,
so that they may be one like us.
While I was with them,
I kept those you had given me
true to your name.
I have watched over them
and not one is lost
except one who was destined to be lost,
and this was to fulfil the scriptures.
But now I am coming to you
and I say these things in the world
to share my joy with them to the full.
I passed your word on to them,
and the world hated them,
because they belong to the world
no more than I belong to the world.
I am not asking you
to remove them from the world,
but to protect them from the Evil One.
They do not belong to the world
any more than I belong to the world.
Consecrate them in the truth;
your word is truth.
As you sent me into the world,
I have sent them into the world,
and for their sake I consecrate myself
so that they too
may be consecrated in truth.
I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.
Father,
I want those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may always see my glory
which you have given me
because you loved me
before the foundation of the world.
Father, Upright One,
the world has not known you,
but I have known you,
and these have known
that you have sent me.
I have made your name known to them
and will continue to make it known,
so that the love with which you loved me
may be in them,
and so that I may be in them.
10) Stations of the Cross
February 22, 1995
1. Jesus Is
Condemned to Death 
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. Pray to the Spirit to
transform you more and more into My image and, through
this transformation, you will be led ever closer to the
Father. Oh, how I love you!
2. They Give Jesus the
Cross
Jesus: They gave
Me a heavy cross, laden with the sins of the world. They
placed it on My shoulder. It was so heavy I felt as if
My shoulder would break. I ask you to carry little
crosses, to experience little pains. I could not remove
this cross from My shoulder. The weight was unbearable.
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. Oh, child, I loved
you so much that I took up the cross of salvation. I
love you. Please realize that I am talking to you here.
To My death I loved you. Oh, how I love you!
3. Jesus Falls the
First Time
Jesus: The cross
was so heavy I could hardly walk. I held on to My cross
for greatest love of you and in compliance with the Will
of My Father. It became so hard to walk! The cross was
so heavy! I fell. I fell and the cross fell on Me. They
poked at Me, they struck Me, they demanded I get up. The
pain from the instruments they used to poke Me and
strike Me was so great! I somehow managed to get up.
When you fall under the weight of your cross, come to My
Eucharistic Heart. I am no less present in the
tabernacle and in the Eucharist than on the day I
carried My cross. I wait with the same love that I had
for you when I carried this cross and suffered such
agony. Oh, how I love you!

4. Jesus and Mary Meet
Jesus: I saw the
face of My beautiful Mother. She was weak, her face
reddened and full of tears. I saw her tender heart, her
love, her anguish, her pain. I saw My dear Mother Mary.
My Heart was comforted by the sight of her, but torn by
her suffering.
Mary: As I looked into the eyes of my beloved
Son, I saw His love. His head, bleeding and wounded. His
body weak. His clothes covered with blood. I looked into
His eyes and I saw His love for you. I call out to you
today. I appear today with a face full of anguish and
tears. I appear to call you back to the love of my Son.
See through my eyes, as I peer into His eyes, the love
He has for you this day to give of Himself for you. Oh,
He loves you so much, my little children. See through my
eyes the love of my Son. Oh, how He loves you!
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.
6. Veronica Wipes the
Face of Jesus
Jesus: My face was
covered with blood. From the crowd Veronica came forward
with a cloth to wipe My face. On the cloth I gave to you
an imprint of My bloodied face. This, My children,
remains with you this day as a sign of My immense love
for you. But more than any cloth, look beyond the
visible consecrated host. I, Jesus Christ, the Son of
God, remain with you, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in
the Eucharist this day, waiting and longing to be with
you. Oh, how I love you!
7. Jesus Falls the
Second Time
Jesus: Oh, dear
ones, the road became harder and harder to walk. The
cross was becoming heavier, My body weaker and weaker.
My shoulders and arms hurt so much! My head throbbed as
I walked. 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! My greatest agony
was not the agonies of My body, but the agonies of My
heart for the love I have for all My precious souls. I
loved them so dearly. I loved those who persecuted Me.
Oh, how I love you!
8. Jesus Meets the
Women of Jerusalem
Jesus: The women
came to Me with their children, their tender hearts
crying and wanting to comfort Me. I saw their love,
their care. I saw the coldness of men's hearts for all
time, the hatred, the anger, the sins, all the souls
that, despite all of My sufferings and death, would be
condemned to eternal damnation. 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. Your strength will come
from Me. Come to My Eucharistic Heart. I am waiting for
you this day. Oh, how I love you!
10. Jesus Is Stripped
of His Garments
Jesus: They took
Me to the hill to crucify Me. They angrily stripped Me
of My garments. They took off My clothes to whip Me.
They had covered My bloody wounds with a dirty purple
robe. Now, total surrender-they took off My clothes. I
showed you the way to surrender, always complying with
the Will of the Father. It is in living in His Will that
you will have peace and joy, and life eternal some day.
Oh, how I love you!
11. They Nail Him to
the Cross
R. 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: Oh, my dear ones, my heart was torn in my
chest as they nailed His hands and feet to the cross. I
ask you this day to walk the Passion with me and see
through my eyes the love He has for you. He truly was
nailed to the cross.
Jesus: They pounded the nails into My first hand,
then they stretched My body and nailed My other hand.
The blood poured from these wounds that went totally
through My hands. My pain was so immense, but then they
nailed My feet! You do not know what pain I suffered, My
child. My children, My children, for each one of you I
suffered this pain. Oh, how I loved you!
12. Jesus Dies on the
Cross
(Silence.)
R. He 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.
Jesus: I gave Myself to you, My dear ones. I gave My
all. I hung with My arms spread in total surrender. My
head was punctured; My hands and feet were nailed to the
cross. I gave Myself to you. I give Myself to you this
day in the Eucharist. I give Myself to you. I, God, give
you Myself! What more do you want?
Song: Oh, burning Heart, oh, Love divine, etc.
R. 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. His life, death and resurrection live on in
the Church this day.
13. Jesus Is
Taken Down from the Cross and Placed in the Arms of His
Mother
R. His totally
lifeless body was placed 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 in her
arms. 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: I held His lifeless body in my arms. See
through my eyes the love He has for you this day. He
gives Himself to you today in the Eucharist. He loves
you so much!
14. Jesus Is
Locked in the Tomb
R. His enemies
rolled the stone up to the tomb and were pleased to have
buried Jesus. 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. He loves us so
much!
