Oh Heart of Jesus hear the plaintiff cry of Your
servant
suffering and in pain for the sin in the world and
Your Blood You shed to save us.
Oh Savior, Incarnate, born of the Woman, Mary
Immaculate,
outpour Your gifts on the poor banished children
of Eve for we are the children walking in the
shaded light of imperfections and sin offending
You by our arrogant and prideful ways.
When it is docility and obedience You desire of
us -
Oh let My Spirit fill your souls and your souls
be filled
with My grace and My Blood wash you in the robes of
salvation.
Blood is on your hands, but is it the blood of
deceit
and hatefulness, the bitterness one holds for your
brothers,
the pride of indecency and you ignore the speck in your
eye and the rocks in your hearts. Rocks of hatred,
rocks to clog the vessel far more than the grease
you consider so important to your life here below.
It is rocks that clog the vessels of your heart to
embrace the things of the Savior.
Oh the well cared garden - one flowing with milk
and honey,
water trickling from a little vine, sweetly given the
dew of morning - oh you and your sour grapes, you watch
them shrivel before your eyes and count calories for
your
bodies neglecting the things of the soul -
4 men came up and took the person out.

Romans 8: 5-9
Those who are living by their natural inclinations have their minds on the things human nature desires; those who live in the Spirit have their minds on spiritual things. And human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to life and peace, because the outlook of disordered human nature is opposed to God, since it does not submit to God's Law, and indeed it cannot, and those who live by their natural inclinations can never be pleasing to God. You, however, live not by your natural inclinations, but by the Spirit, since the Spirit of God has made a home in you. Indeed, anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10.

Glorious Mysteries
Resurrection

who was locked up in a tomb for three days, a lifeless body, rose on the
third day to bring us new life.
2. R. In Baptism, we become children of God and
heirs of Heaven. He gave to the Apostles before He ascended into Heaven,

Excerpt from Response to God's Love, 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).
4. R.
God, in His
Goodness, created man out of love. God is love. We were created out of
love.
5. R. But sin entered the world through Adam and so Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, came to the earth to save man from sin. Baptism
frees us from original sin, but we still have weaknesses to sin.
6. R. Jesus rose on the third day and He appeared to His
Mother St. Ignatius says. Think of the joy in her heart for her to see
the glorified body of her Son after she had held His lifeless body taken
down from the cross only three days before.
7. R. This is the glory of this mystery: that Jesus Christ,
once dead, has risen.
8. R. Jesus came that we might have life and have it
abundantly. Now He remains with us this very day in the Eucharist.
9. R. Jesus gives us a special sharing in His life through
baptism.
Song: I am the Bread of Life
10. R. Jesus gave to the Apostles the power to forgive sins;
a priest can forgive our sins. A person dead in sin can be saved from
eternal damnation!

The Ascension of Jesus into Heaven
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. Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which
the world cannot give, this is my gift to you. Do not let your hearts be
troubled or afraid. John 14: 27
3. Then he took them out as far as the
outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he
blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven.
Luke 24: 50-51
4. R. And the Apostles were awestruck in the field below as
they saw their Beloved Jesus leave. And they were filled with fear and
sorrow to see Him go.
5. R. God the Father sent His only Son into the world so
that we could be saved.
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. Luke 1: 31-35
R. Jesus is no less present in the Eucharist, today, then He
was the day that Mary carried Him in her womb. Jesus is no less present
this day in the Eucharist than He was the day He hung on the cross.
Jesus remains with us with the greatest love in His Divinity and
humanity in the Eucharist.
6. R. Jesus promised that He would send the Holy Spirit to
descend upon them.
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. Luke 1:
31-32
R. Mary shouted out in a loud voice the Magnificat. The Holy
Spirit would descend upon these apostles who had locked themselves in
the upper room out of such fear because their Beloved Jesus had gone.
7. R. Before Jesus ascended into Heaven, in Emmaus, He sat
with the Apostles and He broke bread.
8. R. There is such love between the Father and the Son and
the Son and the Father. I believe in the Holy Spirit who proceedeth from
the Father and the Son (from the Creed). It is the fire of this Love of
God that comes forth. The Holy Spirit fills us. Dear Holy Spirit, fill
us with the fire of Your Love so we may more and more realize the
immense love between the Father and the Son.
9. R. God dwells within us in a special way if we have been
baptized and remain in the state of grace. The Father, Son and the Holy
Spirit dwell within us.
10. R. As our heart beats and as we breathe, God is so close
to us with His immense burning love, always in love, in deepest love
with us.
Song between decades: Come Holy Spirit
The Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles
1. R. The Apostles had locked themselves in the upper room
and there was a gigantic-like wind, and there appeared over their heads,
parted tongues of fire.
2. R. And they were transformed from fear to fearlessness.
3. R. And they went out to speak and all understood.
4. R. Holy Spirit, fill us with the fire of the Love of God
and fearlessness to preach the good news of Jesus. Fill us so that we
have the courage to spread this love of God to this world this day.
5. R. Holy Spirit fill us with fire. We beg You to fill us
with Your light and Your fire so that we can radiate to this world and
tell the world about the love of God.
6. Song: Come Holy Spirit
7. R. Dear Holy Spirit, transform our heart more and more
into the image of Jesus and lead us ever closer to the Father.
8. R. Mary help us to join so tenderly with your heart so
that the Holy Spirit can transform us more and more into the image of
Jesus, your Beloved Son.

The Assumption of Mary into Heaven
1. R. Mary remained on the earth many years after Jesus
ascended into Heaven.
2. R. Think of the immense joy of Mary to be reunited with
Her Most Precious Son.
3. R. Mary is the singular vessel.
4. R. We are here to unite with God. It is through Mary that
we unite ever closer to the Trinity.
5. R. Mary is our model. She was a human person. She was
created without sin to be the Mother of Jesus. We can more closely
imitate Jesus by watching Mary and how she lived her life.
6.
John 3: 16
For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may have eternal life.
The Holy Spirit
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to
the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My
people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them.
The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My
image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped
in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate
Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are
the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you
within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation
continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I
lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell
them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous
gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on
fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I
love and bless My people!"
Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us
ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are
like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day,
pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming
influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The
greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit,
the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within
us. from Tell My People
7. R. Mary, we intercede to you to help us to grow in
greater union with the Holy Spirit. We want to be transformed more and
more into the image and likeness of Your Precious Son.
8. R. Mary is our Mother, Mary is the Mother of the Church.
Mary, who mothered Jesus with such love, mothers us with this love this
day.
9. R. Mary's heart is sinless. Mary loves us so much. If we
follow Mary, if we study her life, we will be led more and more into
what God wants us to be.

4. R. Mary is Queen in Heaven with her Beloved Son and the
Father and the Holy Spirit, with the angels and saints.
5. R. Mary is Mother of the Church.
6. Philippians 2: 6-11
Who, being in the form of God,
did not count equality with God
something to be grasped.
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.
And for this God raised him high,
and gave him the name
which is above all other names;
so that all beings
in the heavens, on earth
and in the underworld,
should bend the knee at the name of Jesus
and that every tongue should acknowledge
Jesus Christ as Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

The Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary
1. The Prophecy of Simeon. See Mary and Joseph as they take
the child Jesus to the temple. And Simeon greets them and so thrilled to
see the child Jesus, but prophesies the sufferings of Jesus and Mary.
From that point on, every time Mary beheld her Beloved Son, she had
before her the prophecy of Simeon. She knew when she looked at her child
that He would suffer. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.
2. The Flight into Egypt. Joseph and Mary were awakened in
the night to flee with the child Jesus. And a sword, too, shall pierce
your heart, O Mary.
3. The Loss of the Child Jesus in the Temple. Joseph and
Mary: their hearts were in such sorrowing to lose the child Jesus in the
Temple in Jerusalem. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.
4. Jesus and Mary meet on the Way to the Cross. And Their
eyes peered into one another's on Calvary. In that peering look is the
summation of Their lives from the time that Mary conceived Jesus in her
womb to the look when They beheld each other on the way to Calvary. And
a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.
5. Jesus Dies on the Cross. See Mary as she stands under
the cross; her Beloved Son hangs against the darkened sky. His body is
withered. There is not a breath left to His body; there is not any blood
left in His veins and she watches for three agonizing hours as He slowly
dies. She calls out to us today to spread the love of Jesus Christ, the
Son of God who gave His life that all men might know His love and that
they can live eternally in Heaven. And a sword, too, shall pierce your
heart, O Mary.
6. Mary holds Jesus' lifeless Body under the Cross. He was
dead in body, but He rose on the third day. She held her Beloved Son as
she held Him as a child. She now holds His battered, bruised, bloodied
body in her arms; her heart torn in her chest. This is Our Beloved
Mother that Jesus gave to us on the cross. Think of holding your own
child lifeless in your arms. She watched Him die and now she holds Him
so close to her. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.
7. Jesus is Placed in the Tomb. And they laid Him in a tomb
and she saw where they laid Him. And then they pushed the stone up
against the tomb. And a sword, too, shall
pierce your heart, O Mary.
