Mary’s Heart

Mary and Jesus were still appearing at the Holy Spirit Center.

The Annunciation

1. R. Put yourself in the presence of God. God dwells in our graced, baptized soul. Put aside all the distractions of the day and focus on the lives of Jesus and Mary.

2. R. Come and dwell in the heart of the Virgin Mary. Be so aware of the gentleness and the kindness and the love in her Immaculate and pure heart. Focus totally on the heart of Mary.

3. R. Experience this rosary as you feel the emotions that Mary knew and felt and the love of Jesus all through the rosary. See Mary when the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, listen to the conversation between Mary and the angel.

4. R. Recorded in the heart of Mary are all the events, her relationship with Jesus. Mary pondered many things in her heart. Put yourself there as the angel appears to Mary and as Mary responds to the angel.

Luke 1:38

Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’

R. Mary lived her life according to His will, always pleasing her Father as a sweet little daughter loves her Father. Mary always obeyed the Father. She lived her life seeking to do His will. Mary shows us her love for God the Father.

5. R. Mary conceived the Child Jesus in her womb through the power of the Holy Spirit. Mary felt the life of the Child Jesus grow within her womb. Focus on the feelings in Mary’s heart. Recorded in her heart are all the tender events of the life of Christ. As we focus on these events through the heart of Mary we will join ever closer to His Heart.

6. R. The life of the Child Jesus as He grew in the womb of His Mother depended on the heart of Mary beating. The Two Hearts, the Heart of Jesus and the heart of Mary, within the same body, beating in such closeness, Mary and Jesus’ Hearts beating as one from the beginning.

7. R. So many events in the life of Christ recorded deeply in the heart of Mary. Mary knew she carried the Child Jesus within her womb. Mary the Mother of God. Mary carried Jesus in her womb.

8. R. Oh, tender heart of Mary, let me feel with your heart and know the Child Jesus more with your heart. Let us learn more about Jesus’ life as we join ever closer to your Immaculate and pure heart.

9. R. It is through the rosary and meditating on the lives of Jesus and Mary that Their lives become alive in our life. We pray in every prayer united to Their Two Hearts. We beg to be filled more and more with His life in our graced, baptized soul. Help us as we meditate on these mysteries of the rosary to understand more and more the mysteries of the lives of Jesus and Mary. We want to be examples of your life living in us.

10. R. It is through baptism that we share in His Divine Life and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in our graced, baptized soul. We wish to be filled more and more with His life in us. Feel the vibrancy of this life in us, as we are saturated more and more with His life every day as we go to the Eucharist. It is through the rosary that we meditate on Their lives and live Their life more fully in all of our actions.

 

The Visitation

1. R. Oh, tender Heart of the Child Jesus, that was formed in the womb of the Virgin Mary, help us to unite ever closer to Your tender and gentle loving Heart through the heart of Your beloved Mother.

2. R. Mary went to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Her heart is bursting with such joy to share the good news. She goes to one person and tells the great news that she is carrying the Child Jesus within her womb. In the rosary chapel, there is the window on Jesus ascending into Heaven. Mary goes to one person and as Jesus ascended into Heaven He left behind the Apostles to carry out the work that He had begun. This day He gives to us this mission - to carry out His life, death and resurrection in our lives. As we meditate deeply on these mysteries of the rosary, the lives of Jesus and Mary live more in our lives. We join more fully in the liturgy as we know more and more about Their lives.

3. R. Mary carried the Child Jesus within her womb. The child within Elizabeth’s womb, leapt for joy. Today we receive Jesus in the Eucharist. We receive the presence of the Almighty God. We receive the Almighty God, Jesus Christ, in His Divinity and His humanity in the Eucharist. Should we not leap for joy at the fact that the Almighty God gives Himself to us!

4. R. God the Father chose the Virgin Mary. God the Father so loved this world that He sent His Son Jesus in her womb. Mary is the Singular vessel. We unite in deep union with Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the heart of Mary, her Immaculate Heart. Mary loves the Father so much. Mary loves her Son. Mary is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. We will unite in the deepest union with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit through Mary’s heart.

5. R. The heart of Mary knows the Heart of Christ. Mary pondered so many things in her heart. We should love God through Mary’s heart - love our brothers through Mary’s heart and love all the little children of the world through Mary’s heart. If I dwell in the heart of Mary, I will love more and more as Mary loved, with her pure and gentle heart.

6. R. Mary carried the child within her womb. Mary is the

Mother of God. Mary, full of grace.

7. R. The more I unite to the heart of Mary, the more I dwell in her heart, the more I will act in pure and gentle likeness to Mary, perfect handmaid of the Lord. The more I love with Mary’s heart, the more I am united with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

From Tell My People

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.   end of excerpt

The Birth of Jesus

1. R. Jesus came into this world a little baby to be loved. Approachable and lovable, He waits for us this day to come and be with Him and to tell Him of our deep love for Him.

2. R. Oh, Heart of Jesus, I long to unite so much more tenderly to your Heart. It is through the heart of Your beloved Mother that I will know so much more about You and the tenderness of Your love. Help me to dwell more and more in the heart of Your Mother and thereby dwell deeply and lovingly in Your precious Sacred Heart.

3. R. There was such tenderness between the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. From the first moment of conception she carried the child within her womb and felt the child grow and move within her. Recorded in her heart were all of these incidents in the life of Jesus. For two mysteries of the rosary the Child Jesus was within the womb of the Virgin Mary, and He received His life through her heart. In the third mystery of the rosary Mary gave to Jesus her precious milk, and He was dependent on Mary for His physical life in this mystery.

4. R. We see Mary tenderly hold the Child Jesus in her arms. We see her as she holds the lifeless body of her Son in her arms under the cross. It is in Mary that we will unite deeper and deeper in the Heart of Jesus. It is in dwelling in her heart, in knowing His life in all the details, as she knows His life, as she pondered all of the aspects of His life, that we will know Him more and more.

Dear Mary, help us to dwell more and more in your heart and Jesus’ Heart.

5. R. A little baby, born in the town of Bethlehem, such quietness, but this is the Son of God who came to this earth to save man from his sins.

6. R. Jesus was rejected at birth. He died on a cross. Both on bare wood.

7. R. Jesus came to show us the way and His way is the way of love, born a little baby in the town of Bethlehem. The Son of God, He is not adorned with gold and silver, but comes humbly in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes and the angels sing the glory of God.

8. R. Mary kept all of these things in her heart. Mary pondered all these things. How the heart of Mary knows the Heart of Jesus - all the details and incidents of Jesus’ life!

Dear Mary, help us to know more and more our beloved Jesus as you knew Him. Help us to know Him in our Hearts, to be there as we meditate on these mysteries of the rosary, to be there in the town of Bethlehem and see the Child Jesus, born in the Manger, in such poverty, to see the love that Jesus came in such poverty, for love of us.

9. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

10. This is a message from your Mother

Mary: To all my beloved that I have gathered here. It is a very important message that I am delivering to you. It is My dear ones, dwelling in my heart, that you will know more and more the love of my Son, in seeing through my eyes, my Son Jesus. As you meditate on the Mysteries of Our lives, as you see through my heart, you will know my Son more and more. Jesus came into this world in my womb. Jesus was held in my arms and Jesus was held in my arms under the cross.

R. Mary kept all of these things and pondered them in her heart. Mary peered into His eyes on the way to Calvary and in that look, the summation of Their lives together: all of the little things that happened in the life of Jesus. Mary saw all these events when she looked in His eyes. Mary pondered all of these things and kept them in her heart. It is in going to the heart of Mary and dwelling in her heart that she will reveal to us many secrets in the mysteries of her life and thelife of her Son. She will teach us to love with her pure and tender heart, to love her Son, to love the Father, to love the Holy Spirit, to love our brothers as she tenderly loved all her little children of this world. This message is an important message from Mary to us, a great gift to realize that as we meditate on the mysteries of the rosary and see the life of Jesus through her eyes.

R. See through her eyes as she saw her Son, lying in the manger. See through her eyes as she nursed her Son Jesus at the breast and her child, the Child Jesus looked tenderly into her eyes. As we look into the eyes of Mary, we will know more and more about our beloved Jesus, her Son.

 

The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

1. R. Joseph and Mary took the Child Jesus to the temple.

2. R. Simeon, the Prophet, led by the Holy Spirit, prophesied the sufferings of Jesus and Mary to come.

3. R. And from that moment on, Mary knew of the sufferings of her Son and she kept all of these things and pondered them in her heart.

4. R. We see the intimacy between the Child Jesus and Mary. For Jesus knew all things and Mary knew of the sufferings that would come. When she looked at her child, she knew of these sufferings.

5. R. And Simeon tells Mary, “a sword too shall pierce your heart, O Mary.” The Heart of Jesus was pierced with a lance and what flowed from the Heart of Jesus was the sacramental life of the Church, blood for the Eucharist and water for baptism. Mary is the Mediatrix of all grace.

6. Mary: Tender and gently I held the Child Jesus within my arms in the temple and my heart was torn within my breast to hear the words of the prophet Simeon. My heart, that knew the Heart of my Son, Jesus. I watched Jesus at play and watched Him as He grew to the beautiful young man that gave His life for you, my beloved children. I am Mary, your Mother and I ask you to see through my eyes the life of my Son Jesus and to ponder in your heart, as I pondered His ways and His love.

Mary: Ponder deeply in your heart, His love for you. You do not know the gentleness and the kindness with which my Son loves each and every precious soul. Come to my heart and I will teach you of the love of my Son, the love that He has for you. I am Mary, your Mother. I love you with the deepest motherly love. It is in meditating on the mysteries of the rosary that you will live more and more in Our lives. That the world will see through you, the reflection of my Son Jesus as He comes to you. It is in your being that you teach so many lessons to those that you touch.

Jesus calls you to love Him with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being. Meditate deeply on these mysteries of the rosary and dwell in my heart. See through my eyes, feel as I felt the sorrow and the joy. The mysteries of the rosary will make the life of my Son live within your hearts. These are Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Meditate with your whole heart and join in such oneness with Our Hearts.

7. R. See through the tender eyes of Mary as she peered into the tender eyes of her Son on Calvary. His face, covered with blood, and His head crowned with thorns! See in that look the summation of His life to that point. How the heart of Mary knows the Heart of Jesus, and in that look all of the memories that she shared with her Son, see through her eyes and know His love.

8. R. See the eyes that look at Mary, her tender, infant child. See the child’s heart beat so tenderly the Savior of the world.

9. Sing: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

10. Hail Mary

 

The Finding in the Temple

1. R. When Jesus was 12 years old He was taken up to the temple for the feast of the Passover with Mary and Joseph. The Child Jesus was lost.

2. Mary: It is so simple, My dear sweet little children, to come and dwell in Our Hearts. Our Hearts are filled with such love, as you unite more and more in Our Hearts, you will be one with each other. I am Mary, your Mother. Come and dwell in my heart and dwell in the Heart of my Son Jesus.

3. Mary: In the brightness of the light of the Almighty God you will know His power within your heart, for Our way isthe way of light. Focus on the presence of the Almighty God dwelling within your graced, baptized soul, and know this life, this light alive within your soul.

I am Mary, your Mother. Dear, sweet children, as you dwell in my heart, you will dwell so deeply in the Heart of my Son. Realize at every moment the presence of the Almighty God within your being. Feel the light within your chest and the light of this love will radiate from your eyes and from your being and be transmitted to all my little children of this world. My little children are suffering and in pain. I am calling you to the light that shines in the darkness to unite with Our Hearts and to transmit the messages of Our love to all those you touch. I am Mary your Mother. I am present and I am with you. I am protecting you with my motherly love and caring for your every need. Join closer and closer to me, your Mother of love.

4. Mary: You may be surrounded by darkness and it may seem to close in on you but the presence of the Almighty God within your hearts will guide you in the darkest night. I am Mary, your Mother, come and dwell in Our Hearts and you will go into the darkness and what will be transmitted from you is a light that will shine in the darkest night for the love of God is a force and a power too mighty to be contained and it will be emitted from your being. I am Mary, your Mother.

5. R. And the darkness came and it folded in and the hearts of many were filled with fear and anguish and in the dark night the light was felt within those who were fixed deeply in the love of God.

6. Mary: Hearts that are cold and hard cannot unite to the Heart of my Son. Open wide your hearts and let me pour Our abundant love into your hearts.

7. Mary: Children of light I give to you the gift of my Motherly love. Accept this gift in exchange for all bitterness and anguish in your hearts for purity and for love.

8. Mary: I love you, my children.

9. Jesus: I love you, I love you, I love you.
