OSARY MEDITATIONS
FOR SORROWFUL MYSTERIES
The Agony in the Garden
- Always in compliance to the Father's will, we see this as
we mediate on all the mysteries of the rosary, how Jesus and Mary always
complied to the will of the Father. To have peace and joy in our lives, we
must always comply to the will of the Father. We see Jesus in the garden,
His face covered with a bloody sweat, and at any moment He could have
stopped everything. He could have withdrawn. He, the Almighty God, all
powerful and almighty, about to undergo the cruel Passion and His death, and
He sees this before Him. He sees all the sins of men and all the men that
would reject the grace that He merited for them, but what did He think of?
He saw us. He saw us here this night praying, and it filled His Heart with
immense joy. It gave Him so much pleasure in His Heart to know that we would
love Him so much, for He is a Person and He longs to be loved by His beloved
creatures. We do not comprehend and we do not understand how much Jesus is
waiting and longing for our love. Let us, in this rosary, give our love to
Him by giving our complete attention to Him and listening to the words that
He speaks to our hearts. Let us hear Jesus as He outpours His love to us and
teaches us about Himself.
- How many times have we felt like we have gone through this
Passion too in our lives? Have we felt buckled over and filled with pain? It
is so hard sometimes. We are trying so hard in this world, that does not
recognize God as it should, to please the Almighty God, and it seems like we
are pressed on and pressed on, and we say, "God please help us. Take
this cross away." But He allows us to continue to suffer, and we do not
understand. It is in the death that there is the resurrection. Constantly in
our lives, we live this Paschal mystery of death - resurrection. Let us
mediate on the mysteries of this rosary, His suffering and His death, and
let us think all through these mysteries how He rose victorious on the third
day, how it is through His death that we share in His Divine life. Let us
think of how it is to know God and to love Him. It is because of Jesus,
because of His Passion and His death, that we are able to partake in His
Divine life. Through our little deaths, there is always the resurrection. As
we go through our lives, we grow more and more in this life in Him. Mary,
the Mother of our Christ-life, is there with us, is leading us deeply into
the Heart of her Son.
- Treasure beyond all treasures is the Heart of Jesus. The
Heart filled with endless, Divine love, the Heart from which the life of God
flows. They pierced His Heart with a lance and what came forth was blood and
water. Water - a symbol of Baptism whereby we partake in His Divine life.
Blood - a symbol of the Eucharist by which we are fed with the Bread of
Life. Oh God, how we love You! Let our hearts be focused only on You in this
rosary. As we see Your face covered with blood, as we see the blood drop to
the ground, as we know the immense mental agony that You suffered in the
garden, the suffering to know how You would be rejected and forgotten by
those that You gave Your life for, may we know a little bit, just a little,
of how much You truly love us. We love You. We love You. We love You, Jesus
Christ the Savior of the world.
- Song:
"I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your
God, I died for you, I come to you this day."
He has come to set brother against brother, mother against son, husband
against wife. He is Jesus Christ the Son of God. He gives us His life, and
He gives us His love. We must focus totally on His love for us. We must come
to Him and give Him our love and give love to one another. This is the
commandment that He gives to us - that we love God with our whole heart, our
whole soul, and our whole being, and we love one another as we love
ourselves.
- Mental torment, how He suffered mental torment in the
garden, but His thoughts were comforted by the love that we give to Him this
evening. Put aside all of the thoughts in our hearts that do not pertain to
Him, and focus totally on our beloved Savior. He gave His life for us. Will
we give Him our minds and our hearts at this moment, and let Him fill us
with His grace that we will share more and more in His life? He is giving to
us a great treasure at this moment. We must open our hearts and let Him pour
His grace into our hearts and into our souls. He is Jesus. He loves us with
the most burning love we do not even comprehend. Our souls are thirsty for
the love of God. We were created for this love. Nothing on this earth will
satisfy this craving, this appetite within. We must put aside all of the
thoughts in our minds, in our hearts and focus on Him, for He is the Way,
the Truth, and the Life. He is Jesus the Son of God, our Savior, our
Redeemer, our King, our Lover. Open our hearts, and He will fill our hearts
with Divine love. He loves us. He loves us. He loves us.
- Hail Mary…
- Much of the world is asleep. They are walking in darkness.
They are covered with a cloud. Their eyes do not see, and their ears do not
hear. He has lifted the veil for us, His chosen ones, and He is giving to us
a great grace that we will see with eyes unveiled and hear with ears that
are open to His Word. We have been called, and we have been chosen. We will
walk into the dark night as lights shining, and His light will radiate from
our hearts and from our souls. We must go to Him and let Him bathe us in His
love, in His most Sacred Heart.
- He is alive. He is alive. He is alive and He lives in our
hearts, and He lives in this world as we walk the streets. It is through us
that His grace will touch many hearts. We must surrender totally and give
ourselves to Him. Give ourselves. Give our hearts to His Mother for she will
turn our cold hearts into warm hearts that will unite with His Heart. He
loves us, His dear ones. He is telling us the secrets of His Heart, that we
will know the true treasure, the treasure that this world has cast aside and
is suffering for its ignorance and neglect. See with eyes unveiled He is
giving to us great graces. We are His apostles that will carry the flag
across this earth, that will carry His flag, full of love, to the world that
is hurting and in pain.
- And He saw it all. He saw the whole Passion before Him. He
knew vividly every pain. He knew every beating, every thorn prick. He knew
all that He would suffer. He knew the pain on the cross and three agonizing
hours that He would suffer. He knew all the souls that would go to hell
despite His suffering. But despite all of this, He gave Himself. He gave
Himself for me and He gave Himself for you, knowing full well everything
that He would suffer, because of His great love for us, that we would be
saved, that we would share in His Divine life, that we might be with Him
forever and ever in heaven.
- Oh Heart of Jesus, Treasure beyond all treasures, give me
the grace to dwell forever in Your Heart.
Song:
Oh Burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I
know You're here to love and care for me.
The Scourging at the Pillar
- They took Him away and they tied Him to the pillar, and
they began to beat Him. They took turns beating our beloved Savior. Stand
there. Let us picture ourselves tied to the pillar. Picture us. How is the
love in our hearts? Would we stand at the pillar and allow men that we loved
to tear our flesh, knowing full well that we could stop it at any moment? He
stood at the pillar and they tore His flesh, and His blood fell to the
ground. He withstood this for our sins. Do we know how He suffered for our
sins, the sins that we commit towards our brothers, when we talk about our
brothers, those that He loves? His way is love. We are His apostles of love.
We must be holy. Our hearts must be filled with holiness. We must go into
the world and always show others how to love. We cannot talk about others.
We must have hearts filled with love. Only in love will our hearts unite to
His Heart. People are watching us. We are the stars against the darkest
night. Will we shine or will we be dull? In order to shine, our hearts must
be likened to His Heart. We must give Him our hearts, and He will turn our
hearts to hearts of love.
- How we insist and insist to do it our way and try and try
and try. Do we know that He is with us at every moment? We must admit our
dependency on Him. We must surrender and say, "Jesus, I am totally
dependent on You. I want to be loving, but I fall. I am a little baby. I
need You to help me to love like You. I cannot do it on my own." We
must go to confession, and tell the priest of the times when we talked about
our beloved brothers, for He stood at the pillar and He was beaten for our
sins, and He was beaten for our brothers that He loves. He is teaching us in
the Shepherds of Christ Movement to be of one mind and one heart. Our hearts
will unite in the deepest union with His Heart, but we must surrender. We
must not let thoughts of bitterness and hatred toward one another creep into
our hearts. He is allowing us to suffer, and He is allowing us to watch
ourselves fall, for we will come crawling on our knees and beg Him, "to
help me." "Help me, God," you will say. "Help me. I want
to love like You, but I cannot do it myself."
- He was beaten for us. We do not know how sins against our
brothers offend Him and hurt Him. How He was beaten for those words that we
speak in hatred toward one another. We are the stars that will shine against
the darkness. We are His apostles, but our hearts must be pure. We must come
to Him for we cannot do this on our own. He will give us the grace to love,
to love as He loved, as He loved each and every soul. We are dependent on
Him. Watch ourselves fall on our faces and know that we need Him to help us.
- Hearts that are haughty and prideful cannot unite to His
Heart. There are many this day that are in control, that continue to control
with proud hearts. He gives to many authority and power. It is to be used
only according to the Father's will. Our hearts must be soft and gentle as
His Heart. We must not let power and control go to our heads. We have
authority only as the Father gives us authority.
This is from the reading today:
"Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre, 'The Lord Yahweh says this:
Because your heart has grown proud,
you thought: I am a god;
I am divinely enthroned
far out to sea.
Though you are human, not divine,
you have allowed yourself
to think like God.
So, you are wiser than Daniel;
no sage as wise as you!
By your wisdom and your intelligence
you have made yourself a fortune,
you have put gold and silver
into your treasuries.
Such is your skill in trading,
your fortune has continued to increase,
and your fortune has made your heart
grow prouder.
'And so, the Lord Yahweh says this:
Since you have allowed yourself
to think like God,
very well, I am going to bring foreigners
against you,
the most barbarous of the nations.
They will draw sword against
your fine wisdom,
they will desecrate your splendour,
they will throw you down into the grave
and you will die a violent death
far out to sea.
Will you still think: I am a god,
when your slaughterers confront you?
But you will be human, not divine,
in the clutches of the ones
who strike you down!
You will die like the uncircumcised at the hand of foreigners.
'For I have spoken-declares the Lord Yahweh.'" (Ezk. 28:2-10)
- He is gentle, and He is kind of Heart. He has made men the
head of their homes. He has given to the priests authority and a great gift
to be called a priest and to offer sacrifice. He has bestowed on men great
honor, but within the heart of every man that is given power must be the
heart of gentleness and love. He stood at the pillar, and He was beaten and
His skin was torn because of the haughty hearts, because of the pride,
because of men that wanted their will and not the will of the Father.
Everything that we do must be in accordance with the Father's will. He
showed us the way. He stood at the pillar and was beaten because it was the
Father's will. We must strive always to do the will of the Father with love.
Love is our primary purpose, to love God above all things and love one
another as we love ourselves.
- We have been called here. He teaches us. We are called to
live the Scriptures and we must answer this call. He is giving to us His
grace. Praise and thank our God for the gifts that we are given.
- We carry His word into the world. We will be the lights
that shine in the darkest night. He stood at the pillar, and He was beaten.
He was beaten because of the haughty hearts. Our hearts must be likened to
His. We are His apostles that will carry this message into this world. We do
not comprehend this great mission. Each one of us have been called here. We
must respond to the call for He is asking us to help in the salvation of
many souls. What we do will help many souls to be saved. He stood at the
pillar, and they tore His flesh. He loves each soul with the most burning
love that He allowed them to put Him to death. Will you go into this world?
Will we walk fearlessly ahead despite the persecution and the verbal
battering that we receive? Will we say to this world, "This is the
Almighty God. He is alive this day, and He loves us. He loves us. He loves
us. Come. Come to Him, and He will give to us what our hearts
desires."?
- 1 Co. 12:12-26:
For as with the human body which is a unity although it has many parts-all
the parts of the body, though many, still making up one single body-so it is
with Christ. We were baptized into one body in a single Spirit, Jews as well
as Greeks, slaves as well as free men, and we were all given the same Spirit
to drink. And indeed the body consists not of one member but of many. If the
foot were to say, "I am not a hand and so I do not belong to the
body," it does not belong to the body any the less for that. Or if the
ear were to say, "I am not an eye, and so I do not belong to the
body," that would not stop its belonging to the body. If the whole body
were just an eye, how would there be any hearing? If the whole body were
hearing, how would there be any smelling?
As it is, God has put all the separate parts into the body as he chose. If
they were all the same part, how could it be a body? As it is, the parts are
many but the body is one. The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no
need of you," and nor can the head say to the feet, "I have no
need of you."
What is more, it is precisely the parts of the body that seem to be the
weakest which are the indispensable ones. It is the parts of the body which
we consider least dignified that we surround with the greatest dignity; and
our less presentable parts are given greater presentability which our
presentable parts do not need. God has composed the body so that greater
dignity is given to the parts which were without it, and so that there may
not be disagreements inside the body but each part may be equally concerned
for all the others. If one part is hurt, all the parts share its pain. And
if one part is honoured, all the parts share its joy.
- We cannot be divided with any person and have peace in our
hearts. Our hearts must be hearts of love. We must give up any bitterness
and division in our hearts towards any person, for He is God and in His
Heart there is not division. He is calling us His apostles of love, His
little army that He has called and brought to this room this evening. We
must be as the brightest stars shining against the darkened night, for He is
Jesus; He is the Almighty God, and He has called us to carry the messages of
His burning love to this world, to the priests, to the sisters, to all those
that are hurting and in pain. As He stood at the pillar and He was whipped
for the sins of men, He knew that we would answer this call. And it was joy
to His Heart as the blood ran down His body. His Heart was comforted, and He
was filled with such pleasure because of the work and love that we would
give to others, because of the souls that we would help to be saved. We are
His stars that will shine in the darkest night. We have been called. We have
been chosen, and He has given to us such grace that we can carry out this
mission. We can say "no" to Him, but it was there when He was
scourged that our "yes" comforted Him. In His greatest agony, He
saw us as He hung on the cross. His body withered and in pain, He saw us,
and He saw the love that would go forth from our hearts into this world. He
loves us with such love. He gave Himself for love of us and for all souls.
Will we help our brothers to know His love?
- There will be peace and joy in our hearts when we comply
always to the Father's will. The Father has a plan for us. Jesus is the Way.
He is the Truth. He is the Life. We have been called. We have been chosen.
Will we answer His call, His apostles of love?
The Crowning with Thorns
- Think of the minds of men, and think of how Satan presses
on the minds of men. Think of how our thoughts can be so influenced by the
evil one, how we can worry about what other people think, how we can think
others are talking about us, how we can make ourselves miserable by giving
into our thoughts. Jesus showed us His head crowned with thorns. How He
suffered such pain to His head, yet we cannot discipline our thoughts. Let
us pray for the grace to ask God to help us to keep our thoughts always
thoughts of love, of harmony, of oneness with one another.
- We must not give in to the seeds of division that Satan
plants in our minds. We must say, "I love that person. I love that
person." But do we know that we cannot do this on our own? Do we know
that we depend totally on Him? He has allowed us to fall on our faces many
times. We would be wretched if it was not for His grace. We are dependent on
His grace. If we are holy, it is because of the grace that He is giving to
us. He is Jesus. We are dependent on Him, His loved ones. We must come to
Him and ask for the grace to love. He wants to love through us in this
world.
- We must come to the Father as the little, dependent child.
We must tell Him of our love and tell Him of our needs.
- I picture myself in a chair surrounded by those people that
I love the most. Do I see all the people I love? And then watch, as those I
love the most come to me and pound a crown of thorns into my head, and I
feel the blood come from my head and fall on my body.
- How many times have we crowned Him with thorns by our
thoughts of hatred and anger toward one another. He suffered immense pain
because of the thoughts of men. We are His chosen ones. Pray that we do not
wound His Heart with thoughts of hatred and bitterness for He loves us. He
loves us so much, and it wounds His Heart when we hate one another.
- We must model our lives after our Mother. We must look at
our Mother, her heart pure and sinless. It is only in purity that we will
unite to Their Hearts.
- I go to the heart of His Mother and mine, and ask the Holy
Spirit to sanctify me that I may unite in the deepest union in His Heart.
- We do not know the hatred and the bitterness, the thoughts
in the hearts and minds of some men. How He suffered so much pain to His
head for the ugly, horrible thoughts of mankind. God is offended by the acts
of man this day. Help make reparation to Him for our sins and the sins of
mankind. Reparation given to His Heart delights Him, His dear ones. God is
offended by sinful men.
- Song:
"Oh Burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the
host, I know You're here to love and care for me."
Jesus is alive. Jesus is alive. Jesus is alive, and He lives within our
hearts.
- Song:
"Give me Your Heart Oh Jesus, Give me a heart like Yours. Teach me to
love You with this new heart, Oh I know little of how to love You. Create in
me Oh precious Saviour this special heart."
He loves you. He loves you. He loves you.
The Carrying of the Cross
- We must carry our crosses. He watches us as we walk, and He
places that cross on our backs, but He knows that it is in carrying the
cross that we will be given much life. We want to put the cross aside, but
it is in carrying the cross that we will grow more and more in our knowledge
and love of Him.
- He watches us carry the cross, and He watches us move it
from shoulder to shoulder. He watches as it slips down our arms and we fall
to the ground, and He is so close to us. He stands beside us and He says,
"Carry it a little while longer. Carry it a little longer." His
dear ones, for we do not know the great gift that we will receive. At the
end of the darkest tunnel, there is the brightest light. He is Jesus. He
gives to us according to our needs. He gives to us suffering. We must learn
to endure the suffering and realize that it is a gift in which we will grow
more and more in our life in Him.
- My Jesus, I carried the cross and carried the cross and the
tunnel was so dark and so black, and I felt as if I would never smile again.
But I remember those times, and it was so hard. It was so hard when I felt
as if I was dying on the cross with You, and then the light began to steal
across the sky, and the glory was beyond all suffering. For after the death,
there is the resurrection, our lives, a constant dying and rising in Him.
- Help me realize that we are given suffering and that we
must endure the suffering until He lifts the suffering. When we are backed
up against a wall, we must surrender and accept all that He gives to us and
give ourselves to Him, for He is breathing on our necks when we are wrapped
up in pain. He is looking in our eyes when we are down under the cross. He
is holding our hands when we think He is so far away, and He knows all
things. He knows of the great gifts that will come when we endure the
sufferings that He is giving to us. There is always the life after the death
when we stay rooted in Him. We must carry the cross on our backs, and
remember that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
- It's a rocky road that He trod on the way to Calvary, and
He knew that it would end in His death, but He knew of the Resurrection. He
carried the cross and it bumped along, and He saw into the eyes of His
Mother that comforted Him. Look into His eyes. Be wrapped in the embrace of
the love of Their two Hearts. In the suffering, we must go to Their Hearts
and know that we are never alone and He will never abandon us. He is
almighty, all powerful. He is God, and He is with us to the end of time.
- And there will come the day when we are lifted into heaven,
and we will be wrapped in the Divine embrace, that we will know the embrace
of the Almighty God. We must carry our crosses on our backs. Each day, carry
the cross and share in the Resurrection. Our lives are this dying and
rising, each day.
- The world tells us that we should not suffer, but He shows
us the way. Look at Him, His face covered with blood, His head crowned with
thorns, the cross bearing down on His back. He could barely move and He fell
to the ground, but on the third day He rose victorious.
- Thump. Thump. Thump. Hear the cross of Jesus. See the
stress on His face. See the blood as it pours from His body. See Him fall
under the cross. Do you hear the crowd? Do you hear them holler at our
beloved Savior? He withstood all of this in silence. Mary, knowing that He
was the Almighty God, stood by, her heart torn within her chest watching her
Son suffer. And They are appearing to us this day. They are appearing to
tell us of Their love. This is love that Jesus carried the cross, that He
gave His Body and His Blood, that He wants the world to know that He is
alive and that He loves and wants to be loved by man.
- Song:
"Give me Your Heart Oh Jesus, Give me a heart like Yours. Teach me to
love You with this new heart, Oh I know little of how to love You. Create in
me Oh precious Saviour this special heart."
- Hail Mary…
The Crucifixion
- The greatest sacrifice of all, the Son of God comes to this
earth, and He gives Himself as a sacrifice for love of us that we will be
saved.
- The sacrifice is sacramentally made present at every Mass,
the priest offers this sacrifice. We must unite in this sacrifice and give
ourselves. As Jesus sacrificed Himself on the cross, we sacrifice ourselves
in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in union with Him. It is in uniting in
this oneness with Christ that the grace will be released on this earth and
that many souls will be saved. This is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We
are not there as spectators. We are there to offer sacrifice, to give
ourselves. It is when we give ourselves that grace is outpoured on the
earth.
- We must pray for holy priests, that priests will be holy in
their hearts and unite in such oneness with the Heart of Jesus, that as they
celebrate the Mass and offer sacrifice, that they too offer themselves as a
sacrifice in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The sacrifice of Calvary is
sacramentally made present at every Mass.
- The grace that was merited by Christ through His life and
death on the cross is released in abundant proportion in the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass. The more we unite in this oneness with the Mass, the more this
grace is released. Our world is in a desperate state. We must unite in the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in our morning offering, every morning, uniting
each one of our activities with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
- All of our actions are magnified, and immense amount of
grace is released on us and on this world when we unite to the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass in all of our actions.
- Each one of our actions, when performed in accordance with
the Father's will with love, are heroic actions when we unite them to the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, for grace rains on the earth and the people on
this earth. Many will be saved as we unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
in all of our actions and as we become one in Their Hearts. This is the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass, the fountain of God's life outpoured on the earth.
Jesus gave Himself. "This is My Body. This is My Blood." Let us
tap into this fountain of His life at every second as we unite every action
to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
- And they pierced His Heart, and the sacramental life of the
Church was born.
- His life is a fountain of life pouring out on the earth
from the side of Christ.
- We must pray for grace. We must unite every morning, in the
morning offering, to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that all our actions are
magnified, for His grace will spill upon this earth and it will be lighted
with the brightest light. We are His fervent souls that He has called and
that He is joining to His Heart. In this oneness, the grace will be released
on the earth, and many souls will be saved. Do not underestimate the value
of every action we perform when we unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
in the morning offering. He is Jesus. He came to this world to save each and
every soul. Bring Him souls! Bring Him souls! We are His apostles. We will
help save many souls. Many will know the fire of His burning love. We cannot
underestimate the importance of our lives. We will struggle, and we will
suffer. Look at Him as He hung on the cross. He showed us the way. He showed
us His way. But in the death there is the resurrection, and His life will
spill out on the earth. We must give Him ourselves. He wants our love. He
wants us to talk to Him all through the day. When we are worried and
troubled, He wants us to say in our hearts, "Jesus, I love You. Jesus,
I love You." We must put aside the thoughts that Satan is planting in
our heads, the seeds of doubt and division, and say, "Jesus, I love
You." Take that moment to spend time with Him, loving Him, and He will
strengthen us. He wants our love. He wants us to long and to thirst for His
love. He wants us to tell Him we love Him. He is a Person. He wants us to
love Him. He gave His life for us. Will we give our hearts to Him?
- It is in complying to the will of the Father that we will
have peace and joy in our lives. We see Jesus in the arms of His Mother.
Jesus complied to the will of His Father to His death, and Mary complied to
the will of the Father. She did not shout all through the Passion and
holler, "This is God! What is the matter with you?" She was silent
and she accepted the suffering, for she knew the Father had a plan, and she
knew that she must endure the suffering. She knew that Jesus must die. She
complied always to the will of the Father. Jesus complied to the will of the
Father to His death. He shows us the way. His way is suffering and life. The
world shows us another way. They show us a way that leads our hearts to
hunger and to pain. His way is the way to joy, peace, and love. He loves us.
He loves us. He loves us. He is Jesus. He gives Himself to us. It is in
giving ourselves to Him that we will unite. He gives Himself to us in love,
but to become one with Him, we must give ourselves to Him. We will share in
His Divine love. Nothing on the face of this earth can compare to this love
relationship with His Divine Heart. Love is relationship. He gives Himself
to us. We will share in accordance to how much of ourselves we give to Him.
He wants our all. He will give us peace, love, and joy in our hearts when we
give our hearts to Him. He loves us. To His death, He loved us. He would die
for us this day. Will we give Him our hearts?
