Before the Tabernacle

Sorrowful Mysteries

Agony in the Garden

R. Be with Jesus as He knelt in the garden and feel the anguish within His Heart. We know how it is to love someone very deeply and those are the ones that hurt us the most. Sometimes by a word, sometimes by an action, but it is when we love someone very deeply that we are wounded the most by their lack of love, by their lack of care for us. We do not even understand the depth of the love of Jesus, how Jesus suffered in the garden for He loves each one of us so deeply and so individually.

    Look at the world today. How Jesus is treated with such disrespect, dishonor and forgotten many times. Jesus cries out from the tabernacle: "Tell them, tell them, tell them that I am the Almighty God and that I am truly present in the tabernacle, no less than the day that I knelt in the garden. Do they not hear? Will you carry this message to the world? I am Jesus and I am speaking to you. I cry out to you, My beloved ones, to spread the messages of My burning love to this world, to tell the world how I long and wait for them to be so close to Me."

1. Jesus: Come deep within the interior of yourselves and dwell within My Heart, within the heart of My Mother. Feel the security of the red room as you dwell within My beating Heart, as you feel the warmth and love that only God can outpour to you. This will be your refuge for the dark days that are ahead, for I am the Almighty God and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within you. In all of the turmoil and all of the suffering you will find refuge when you come and dwell within My Heart.

2. Song: A Song from Jesus

3. R. Jesus is God. Jesus is one with the Father. To dwell within Jesus' Heart is to be united to the Father, for to know Jesus is to know the Father and the Holy Spirit and to be one in Them, to know each Person of the Trinity, to know the presence of the Almighty God, to know oneness. When I go before the tabernacle and think of Jesus truly present in the Eucharist and focus on the Father and Holy Spirit, I am so full of love. I want to know the love of the Trinity. Go within the interior dwelling of Jesus' Heart and focus on His presence. Feel the heat, feel the red room, the cavern of His endless love, and in uniting to His love know the presence of the Father who is one with Jesus.

4. R. We go to the heart of our beloved Mother - it is her heart that is so pure, so holy, so united to the Heart of Jesus, for Mary dwells most perfectly in the Heart of Jesus. As we dwell in Mary's heart, we know the action of the Holy Spirit working in us to sanctify us and make us holy. We need God the Holy Spirit to help us be holy, we need God's grace. It is the action of God within us, His grace working within us, that sanctifies us and as we dwell in the heart of our Mother, we dwell deeply in the Heart of Jesus, the red cavern, the endless abyss of burning love which unites us with the Father. God wants our love. God wants His holy priests to be holy, to dwell in the Heart of Jesus, for all of us to dwell in the Heart of Jesus and to be one with each other as we partake in His holy love.

5. R. So minutely we understand the love of God. God is love. We cannot comprehend. We grow deeper and deeper in the mystery of God's love as He reveals more about His love to us. But, our understanding of His love is shallow. We penetrate His Heart deeper and deeper as we beg Him for His grace. Jesus makes known the mystery of His love to us. Let us comfort His Heart as He knelt in the garden and suffered such agony that His sweat became as drops of blood on the ground, the mental persecution, the knowing, the loving. Think of how it is when we are offended by those we love so deeply and how we go over it and over it in our mind, that our heart aches. Think of Jesus in the garden, such agony that His sweat became as drops of blood on the ground.

6. R. Jesus calls out to us for this love. Jesus calls out to us to consecrate our hearts to Jesus and Mary. Consecration is giving ourselves to Them. Love is giving of self. Jesus gives Himself to us. Jesus gave His all on the cross and He gives Himself in the Holy Eucharist. We are not a sponge that absorbs His love. This is a love relationship between Jesus and us. Jesus wants us to give ourselves more and more to Him. Jesus gives of Himself. We unite in a deep intimate union with Jesus. If we want love, the love that our soul craves, only the love of Jesus will satisfy this craving. But, it takes giving of self. The more we give of ourselves, the more we partake in this relationship with God in the intimacy of His burning love.

7. R. In the garden, how offended Jesus was by His priests and religious who do not love Him as they should. We are the Shepherds of Christ. We are being called by Jesus to pray for our beloved priests and religious, for it is hard in this world that has turned cold and godless. We need to pray with all our hearts for He has chosen them as His Shepherds, to spread His love to the flock.

8. R. Jesus has called us as His apostles, servants, handmaids, associates in the Shepherds of Christ, to spread His love into the world and Jesus is giving to us great graces to grow deeper in this union. As we become one in Him as we die to ourselves and unite to Him, we will unite deeper and deeper to Jesus. We are to die to all those things that are not like Jesus and grow deeper and deeper in our union with Him. Jesus can then operate to this world that is suffering and in pain through us, if we give ourselves to Him. Let us unite with Jesus in the garden. Let us give our hearts to Him. Give Him our all, surrender our wills and join in this deep intimate love relationship with the Divine God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. No love affair on this earth can compare to an intimate love union with the Divine Almighty God who gives Himself to us and asks for us to give ourselves to Him.

9. Song: I Love You Jesus

R. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who knelt in the garden, is as present in this room in the Eucharist, as He was in the garden. If we were in the garden with Jesus would our hearts burn for love of Him? Let our hearts burn as we are here in this room with the same Jesus Christ who sweat blood in the Garden of Gethsemane.

10. Hail Mary

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

R. The place Jesus took me was the deepest recesses of His Heart. I was enveloped in His burning love. It was a red room with heat and an intense glow. I was swept away in His embrace and only existed in Him. The power of the Almighty God enveloped me and I only existed in Him. There was no fear for I existed in this Almighty Being. My heart was wrapped in the internal embrace of this Supreme Being. The security, the power I know was His deep presence in which I existed. I knew the room was red and warm. I knew His immenseness. I existed in Him. I did not feel little as a speck, but elevated and empowered for I existed in Him.

1. R. I was overtaken by the love of God. The fire of the Holy Spirit filled me. I was absorbed by the love of the Father and I existed in Him. In the deepest recesses of the Heart of Jesus so awesome His burning love, the inner chambers of His magnificent Heart, the Heart of the Almighty God. The Heart of Jesus is where He took me with all it's power, God is omnipotent. We know the fire of God's love. Jesus took me to the deepest chamber of His fiery Heart and in that moment I touched eternity for I knew what it was to be enveloped in the deep furnace of His love. I now want to exist in this chamber of His Heart, swept away in His burning love, absorbed in my every cell with His love.

2. R. Stand with Jesus at the Pillar. Be there and look at the rope around His hands and see the torn flesh and watch the look on the men's faces as they beat His back and His blood flies into the air.

3. R. God so loved this world that He sent His only begotten Son. After the sin of Adam, look at how man is treating God today. God the Father gave His Son and Jesus died on the cross for us. Jesus gives Himself - the Almighty God, born in the womb of a human person for love of us and He is forgotten and ignored. Jesus' name is used in vain by those He loved so dearly. Think of how it is to be hurt by those you love so much. Think of how Jesus feels when His name is used in vain by those He loves.

4. R. To see with eyes unveiled for we see this godless world and we see all that is in it. We must see the world with the eyes of Jesus. Do we hear Jesus' cries from the tabernacle? Jesus is truly present in His Divinity and humanity and in one second He can take our breath away and Mary says she is holding back the hand of her Son. We are called as Shepherds of Christ to go into this world and to spread the messages of His burning love. See Jesus at the pillar and see the wounds. I see the wound in His left arm so many times - so deep, that I cannot even describe this wound in His arm. This is one wound. Jesus' body was covered from head to toe with the wounds of His love - deep wounds. So too is His love for us, so deep - and He cries out and cries out and His cries fall on deaf ears for they did not listen to Jesus either. They put Jesus to death. How is the world today? Is the world listening to the messages of His love or have they turned a deaf ear? Are their eyes blind and their hearts cold when Jesus comes with a burning Heart filled with burning love to fill the stared soul?

5. Hail Mary

6. R. Jesus calls us to the deepest union with Him. This is what He wants with us this day. Jesus gives us: The Prayer for Union with Jesus. Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart. I am yours to posses ... come and dwell in me now.

7. Jesus: I call you to surrender. I call you to love. I call you to open wide your heart and to let Me penetrate your very soul, for you are Mine and I love you with the deepest, burning love. It is in giving yourself that We will unite ever deeper in Our love.

8. R. The precious hands of God was covered with His own blood - the blood that He shed, that we could be saved if we love and serve God according to His will.

9. R. As Jesus walked from the pillar, the earth was marked by the bloody footprints. Jesus is the Savior of the World.

10. Song: A Song from Jesus

 

The Crowning with Thorns

R. How great was the act of love that God gave to this world when He gave Himself and died on the cross. Jesus gives Himself to us this day in the Holy Eucharist. The greatest commandment is that we must love God with our whole heart, our whole soul and our whole being. This is a commandment. If we are to enter heaven, we must follow the commandments. They are commands given by God for us to follow. The greatest act we can do on this earth is an act of loving God. The reason for our existence is to love God. In the Sacrament of His greatest love. Jesus gives Himself to us. This is an act of love on His part. We are called to respond by giving ourselves in love to Him.

1. R. Be there as Jesus sits on the throne and they pound into His head a sharp crown of piercing thorns. How many pricks in His precious head!

2. R. See His hair matted with blood. This is the blood that He shed, that we would be with Him forever and ever in heaven and that we share in His Divine life this day. It is through His sufferings and death that we share in this life. Jesus wants us to share deeper and deeper in His life and in His love. This is the price that He paid.

3. Song: I Love You Jesus

Jesus: I love you. I love you. I love you. I have chosen you. I am giving you great graces to unite deeper and deeper in My love. Open wide your heart and let Me penetrate your soul with My Divine love.

4. R. Jesus' cries fall on deaf ears this day. The hearts of so many are filled with the world.

5. R. Are we not unfaithful to Him? Are we giving our hearts in love to Him?

6. R. This is the purpose of the Holy Eucharist: to unite in such oneness with our holy, loving God. Our all - consuming passion should be that of loving God. How many go to the Eucharist with the sole purpose of giving great love to God. He wants us to love Him. He wants souls to tell Him how much they truly love Him. This is the most intimate act of love, when God gives Himself: Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, to man. If it is such an act of love, how are we receiving Him in communion? We should beg God in the most intimate union with Him to help us to love Him with the greatest love.

7. R. Jesus is a Person. Jesus wants our love. The Holy Spirit wants such intimacy with us. The Father wants us to love Him. In the Eucharist we unite with God. In this intimate act of uniting with our beloved God, we must pour out our love to God, we must pour out our hearts to the most adorable Heart of Jesus. Jesus is so unjustly treated by many of His beloved souls that He loves so much. Let us help make reparation to the Almighty God by loving God with our whole heart, our whole soul and our whole being in the Sacrament of His greatest love - this is the gift of Himself.

8. R. Think of how it is when you love someone so much and you are offended by that person. Other things do not seem to matter. Think of how it is for Jesus. Jesus says, over and over again, His greatest agonies were not the wounds to His body, but those that He experienced to His Heart. He was buckled over in such suffering for the pains in His Heart, knowing in His Divine mind all those that He loved so dearly, so personally, that would reject and hate Him, from all time, He carried the sins of the world on His back. Jesus carried all the rejection of all people in His Heart and in this bitter anguish, He was comforted by the love of His precious souls that were faithful to Him, that gave Him great love. One soul giving Him great love is so pleasing to Him. Jesus says there are millions of hot-cold souls that are indifferent to Him. Jesus longs for that one soul to come and outpour its love to Him. Will you be that soul? That soul that comforted Jesus during His bitter passion? The soul that He longs and waits especially for?

Jesus: I am giving to you great graces in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to unite in deepest union with My burning Heart. Pray all through the day for these graces that you may know My love more and more, that you will feel satisfaction in your heart of knowing the love of God, for nothing fills the starved soul but the love of God.

9. R. And they spit on Jesus and they hollered at Him and He did not answer back. He sat silent and He suffered the ridicule, for He suffered for the love of His precious souls. It is in His suffering that we become sharers in His life. This is the price He paid. How do we realize this life? How do we value His love?

10. Hail Mary

 

Jesus Carries His Cross

R. See Jesus, His head crowned with thorns, covered with His own blood, His body wounded and in His heart He makes this promise to us: I will give them all the graces necessary for their state of life. I will establish peace in their homes. I will bless every house in which a picture of My Heart shall be exposed and honored. I will console them in all their difficulties. I will be their refuge during life and especially at the hour of death. I will shed abundant blessings upon all their undertakings. Sinners shall find in My Heart a fountain and boundless ocean of mercy. Tepid souls shall become fervent. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to great perfection. I will give to priests the power of touching the most hardened hearts. Those who propagate this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out. I promise thee in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to those who communicate on the first Friday of the month of nine consecutive months, the grace of final penitence. They shall not die in My displeasure nor without their sacraments. My Divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in their last moments.

1. R. Mary promises in the rosary that when we pray this rosary she will give us what we need. Mary is the Mediatrix of all grace. Mary promised that there will be peace in this world when we consecrate our hearts to her Heart and the Heart of her Son. Jesus promises peace in our hearts and peace in our homes when we have devotion to His Heart. Why do we not hear the words of Jesus and the promises of Jesus and Mary? Let us pray fervently for our priests that they will consecrate their hearts to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, that they will give themselves to these most adorable Hearts, to the Heart that carried such anguish all through the Passion, that had such agony far greater than any of the wounds to His precious body. Let us pray for the priests and the religious to consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

2. R. The peace or war of this world depends on this and our making reparation to their hearts in praying the rosary.

3. R. Look into the eyes of Jesus as Mary looked into Jesus' eyes on the way to Calvary. Do you see the beautiful eyes of Jesus filled with such love? Do you see the blood as it trickles down His face, His thoughts, always on us and love of us? Yet, we give Him such shallow love, love from our mouths. We hold back so much and Jesus loved us so much that He gave His all. Why do we not trust Jesus and consecrate our hearts, giving ourselves to Jesus and to the Heart of His Mother?

4. R. It is in the Heart of Mary, through the Holy Spirit, that we will be made holy, that we will be molded more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus, we need to be sanctified. We need to pray that the Holy Spirit works within the heart of Mary to sanctify us. Do we see His face covered with blood? This is the love that Jesus has for us.

5. R. The heavy cross dug into His precious wounded skin and His legs were so weak that He could not go on any further and Jesus fell to the ground with the cross on His back. This is the love that Jesus has for us.

6. R. It is in our deepest sufferings when we are carrying the cross that is the heaviest that we must turn to Jesus. We hold tight to Him and walk with Him and share in His life. He carried the cross, so too we share deeply in His life - the life of the Resurrection.

7. Jesus: Does your life seem bitter? Does the road seem hard? I am with you, My beloved ones, in the cross that you carry, you are living My life in your life and so, too, you will share in My life of resurrection if you remain fixed in Me. Carry your cross and know that it is given in great love from Me, your beloved Savior. One day you will know the glory of all of your sufferings, for you will unite with Me forever and ever in deepest union in My courts of heaven, if you live as God wants you to live.

8. R. I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever . . .

9. Jesus: Carry your cross as I carried Mine and know that My Mother walks with you on your way, loving you. Mary is the most personal Mother, she cares for you more than any earthly Mother. My beloved ones, My Mother is forever by your side with such love.

10. Hail Mary

 

Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross

R. They raised Jesus high on the cross and He hung for three agonizing hours to His death.

1. R. Jesus gave Himself to us. I hear Him call out: I give you Myself, I give you Myself, what more do they want? Tell them, tell them - I give Myself to them this day and they run from My altar, tell them!

2. R. Jesus was the Lamb led to the slaughter. Jesus gave His all, the most pleasing act of love to the Father, the gift of His Son.

3. R. Let us live according to the Father's will in love and unite all we do to the Holy Sacrament of the Mass going on around the world, in the Holy Spirit with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory, through the powerful intercession of Mary in the Holy Spirit. We pray for the priests, the Church and the world. We want to put on Christ in this world.

4. R. Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the Sacrament of His greatest love. This is a prayer before Mass. I want to be one in Him in this act of love...unite in your gift of yourself to me, Come and possess my soul.

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

                                               -Mass Book, December 27, 1995

5. R. As we unite with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and we die to all those things that are not like Him and we unite to Him and we become more like Him. We go to the Eucharist and eat His Body and drink His Blood.

6. R. Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me, the Holy Spirit acts in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus. Father, I offer this, my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit, to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

7. R. How great the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass when the Father looks down and He sees His Son one with the priest in the deepest way in this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We unite with Jesus in this offering to the Father and He sees us with such love. This is a great act of love.

8. R.  Let us realize the great gift of the Mass from the beginning of the Mass when we are sorry for our sins, to the Word when we are fed richly. We offer ourselves and hope that this sacrifice is pleasing to the Father and die to ourselves. We offer ourselves to the Father in the Holy Spirit. We are one with God. Let us give God the greatest love, the love that is His due. God is worthy of all our love. Let us unite with Him at this time and tell Him how we love Him and want to help make reparation for all the injustices and negligence against Him and against the heart of Mary. Who are we that God gives us the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Jesus gives us Himself.

9. R. Look at how the Mass is - do we appreciate the great gift that we are given? I ask you to pray fervently with me to help me to circulate these messages on the Mass, that many more will devoutly offer themselves in this sacrifice to the Father, united to Jesus, all through the day and at Mass and unite in deeper, deeper union with Him in the Holy Eucharist.

10. R. I ask you to pray with me. Mary is appearing before me. Mary is asking me to spread these rosaries, to pray with me to help me to circulate these rosaries and for you to help me. We must pray the rosary, to have peace in the world, Mary said at Fatima. Please pray with me to help me to circulate the messages of His love on the Mass, the Eucharist and the Rosary.

    Let us pray fervently to spread these messages, especially to the priests, to the religious, and to the children.
