The Novena Rosary Mysteries  for August 15th are Luminous.

Pray for Bob, Mike, Fr. Joe and Ken & other intentions.
 

Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

Mary and Her Heart

R. Mary and her heart, all her gentleness, all her love, all her memories, all her emotions in dealing with the Child Jesus as she carried Him within her womb, as she nursed Him and took care of Him, all the memories in her heart and in her pure and gentle heart, the way that she loved the Father with such immense intensity, the way she loved her spouse the Holy Spirit with such deep, deep love, and the way she loved her Son Jesus, every detail of His life, the way she pondered His ways, the way she kept so many things in her heart. It is in dwelling in the heart of Mary, it is as I operate in this oneness from Mary’s heart, that I will more operate with purity and love. As I interact with others, I will love through the heart of Mary, I will love the Father and I will love the Son and I will love the Holy Spirit through the heart of Mary. I will love God through Mary’s heart, with gentleness, with purity, with deep love. I will love God more like Mary’s heart as I dwell and become one in her heart. I will love others through the heart of Mary. Mary, that loves each and every soul with such tender and beautiful love for her little children. I will love my brothers more as she loves her little children. When I pray to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit I will pray with this intense love through Mary’s heart. As I dwell in the heart of Mary, as I act in oneness with this heart of Mary, I will praise and love the Lord through her heart. How can I give honor and praise to God? Through Mary’s heart that loves God more than any other human person can, I can give great honor to God by loving through Mary’s heart. Immaculate Heart of Mary, may I forever dwell within this Immaculate Heart and in such purity give love to God and all others through the heart of Mary.

    When we dwell in her heart we share her knowing of living in Jesus, her dwelling in Jesus, and of being one in Jesus.

    The first place that Jesus made His entry as a man into the world was in the womb of Mary. So sacred and so holy the body of Mary to hold the Savior of the world, the Son of God.

    It is so clear that it is the Father’s will for us to come through Mary. Let our hearts dwell within the heart that gave life to the beloved Son of God. The heart that beat and gave Him life. Let us dwell in this holy place. 

 

Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

The Visitation

1. Luke 1: 39-45

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. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.’ 

2. Mary: My dear little children, you do not know how Jesus waits by the door of your heart and wants to be so close to you. Every minute, all through your day, Jesus is there waiting for you to talk to Him. He loves you with the deepest, burning love. I am Mary, your Mother. Open your heart and let go of anything that is blocking you from a loving relationship with my Son, Jesus. You are the children of this world, and you will carry the love of Jesus to many souls.

3. R. Mary went to visit her cousin Elizabeth, and the child within the womb of Elizabeth jumped for joy at the presence of Mary and Jesus.

4. R. A visit from Jesus, Jesus loves us so much that He remains with us in the Holy Eucharist. He is as present in the Holy Eucharist as He was in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

5. R. Think of that, Mary carried the Child Jesus within her womb, but Jesus loves each one of us.

6. R. How tenderly the Hearts of Jesus and Mary love each one of us and how tenderly Mary loves the precious children of this world.

7. R. It is through the youth, through the children, through the young adults, that much of the renewal will be accomplished. Mary is calling each one of you here to be ever closer to the Heart of her Son. Jesus wants you to be filled with His love and to shed His light in the darkness in this world today.

8. R. A visit from Jesus, Jesus gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist, but in baptism, we receive a sharing in His Divine life, and if we stay in the state of grace, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit dwell within us in our graced, baptized soul in a special way.

4. Luke 2:1-7

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. 

5. R. Jesus came into this world our Savior. Let us thank Him and praise Him.

6. R. Jesus was surrounded with little sheep and by shepherds. How tenderly He loves each one of us and wants us to be with Him forever in our true home in Heaven.

7. Mary: My dear sweet youth, open up your heart, my Son is giving to you His abundant love and giving to you special graces to know Him more and more. Let go of anything that is blocking you from His love.

8. R. Jesus came into this world. He was born a baby for the love of each and every soul and He died for each and every soul. He asks us to love all of our brothers.

9. R. The angels sang and the Son of God was born in the town of Bethlehem in such poverty, born in a manger, and wrapped in swaddling clothes. Jesus loves us so much.

10. R. His way is the way of love. He asks us to love God and to love each other.

The Presentation in the Temple

1. Luke 2: 21-24

When the eighth day came and the child was to be circumcised, they gave him the name Jesus, the name the angel had given him before his conception. And when the day came for them to be purified in keeping with the Law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord—observing what is written in the Law of the Lord: Every first–born male must be consecrated to the Lord—and also to offer in sacrifice, in accordance with what is prescribed in the Law of the Lord, a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons.

The Seven Sorrows

The Prophecy of Simeon

R. Mary, you went to the temple with your little baby Jesus, so full of joy and proud of the little baby and Simeon told you
"This child is destined for the fall and rise of Israel, and a sword too will pierce your heart, oh Mary."

You knew of sufferings to come, Mary, joys and sufferings, because to know God, like we do on earth, there are sufferings and joys to know God more and more deeply.

Oh God we know of Your promise to those who love and serve You, and yet we too know we are called to endure suffering daily sometimes, and in our lives here below.

Jesus, You showed us You carried the heavy cross to Calvary, You mounted it and died a brutal death for love of us.
Love of others, bids us to endure the sufferings of this life and to know more joy in knowing God and the everlasting life still to come in heaven.

Oh most Sacred Heart of Jesus Your love for us is a burning flame of endless, enduring love.
Thank You,

Amen

The Flight into Egypt

R. Babies today are slaughtered in their mother’s womb in abortion.
We see the slaughter of the innocent that made the Holy family have to flee into Egypt.
Suffering, killing little ones God created in love by evil men.
Oh God, slaughter of children occurred in the Holocaust, brutal, terrible killings of babies and young children, some in the arms of their mother led into gas chambers and showers.
Children separated from parents, watching parents persecuted and some seeing their death.

Slaughter of the innocent.
Slaughter of innocent minds.
Evil done to little children in sex abuse.
Oh God, Oh my Jesus, You and the Holy Family knew the sufferings that love endured.
You taught us - love sacrifices, obeys God’s will and gives - putting God first and obedience to the commandments of God.

Dignity, respect, love, obedience to God’s Law,
Putting God first.
The Holy Family suffered the flight into Egypt.
A sword too will pierce your heart, Oh Mary,
And Mary said "May it be done to me according to your word." Mary suffered so for her children she loved so much. The children of the world - love suffers, Love sacrifices.

Jesus was Lost in the Temple

R. Mary and Joseph suffered so looking for Jesus for 3 days.
Three days losing one’s child must have felt like a long time, but they knew on top of this, it was Jesus, The Son of God.

Suffering, think of all the moms and dads that have children lost in their spiritual life.
Is this a big cross?
Mary appeared over and over again at the Holy Spirit Center, crying out about her lost children of the world.

Mary’s message was hard to experience.

Mary‘s Message - from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light. end of Mary's Message
 

R. Mary loves us more than any earthly mother.
To Mary old people lost are her lost children.

Mary begs us to take the message of Our Lady of Clearwater seriously.
Last 5th she said, "souls are going to hell tonight" and begged us not to block her message.

Oh, please help us deliver this message of Mary.

A sword too, will pierce your heart, oh Mary.

Mary and Jesus meet on the way to Calvary

R. Oh Mary looked into the face of Jesus, His head beaten, bloodied and His head crowned with thorns.
Jesus was in such suffering, His torn body, carrying the heavy cross with our sins.

Jesus saw her red, tear-filled face, her pain so terrible, and Their eyes met in sorrow and joy of deep unity between this Mother and Son.
There is joy in deep suffering. It is unity, many times, deep unity to God.

Oh the eyes of Jesus met Mary, comfort and agony both. Comfort and agony beyond our comprehension.
Love is sacrifice, we see.
Love can be the deep suffering of carrying a cross too, or just daily suffering,
with addiction, loss, disease, heartache, abuse,
and many more...

Mary cries for she knew how much Jesus suffered and she suffered for men who reject God’s love, some losing their souls in serious sin without repenting - in stubborn anger and hatred.
And Mary cried for her children and a sword too will pierce your heart, Oh Mary. Amen.

Jesus Died on the Cross

R. What can we say of the suffering there.
Mary said it, crying as she spoke.
   

Mary‘s Message - from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you.

I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light. end of Mary's Message
 

R. Jesus gave us His Mother, as He was dying, His thoughts were of us.
He died for us.

Jesus died for us.

Jesus is taken down from the Cross

R. Mary received Jesus’ body under the cross.
Mary touched the lifeless body of her precious Son, Jesus.
It has come full circle, Simeon told her as she brought her little baby there now 33 years later, what Simeon said happened.
A lifetime of suffering and joy, God the Father has allowed Mary to appear 27 years to deliver her message. November 5, 2021 in Clearwater she cried, "Souls will go to hell tonight, do not block my message."

Jesus is Locked in the Tomb

R. Imagine the sorrow in Mary’s Heart. Jesus died. Jesus was locked in the tomb.

And Simeon said
"This child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel."

And a sword too will pierce your heart, oh Mary.

The Finding in the Temple

1. Luke 2: 41-52

Every year his parents used to go to Jerusalem for the feast of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up for the feast as usual. When the days of the feast were over and they set off home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem without his parents knowing it. They assumed he was somewhere in the party, and it was only after a day’s journey that they went to look for him among their relations and acquaintances. When they failed to find him they went back to Jerusalem looking for him everywhere. 

    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. They were overcome when they saw him, and his mother said to him, ‘My child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your father and I have been, looking for you.’ He replied, ‘Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?’ But they did not understand what he meant. He went down with them then and came to Nazareth and lived under their authority. His mother stored up all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature, and in favour with God and with people.
