August 30th Holy Spirit Novena Scripture selection is Day 7 Period I.

The Novena Rosary Mysteries  for August 30th are Joyful.

Pray for Bob & 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.

Isaiah 43: 1

...I have called you by your name, you are mine.

 

1 John 4: 19

Let us love, then, because he first loved us.

 

R. When you run away from
God’s calling, things can get
worse.
Fear running rampant in
one’s mind is a monster.
Making decisions because
you want to be accepted,
because of rejection, pride,
jealousy, envy, anger,
addictions, excessive wealth,
etc., is not basing things
on God’s will.
 

1 John 4: 17-21

Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.

R. Do you make decisions on
whether you are afraid or not?

God wants faith in Him,
virtue, courage, etc.

Do you make decisions on
whether it is difficult or not
for you?

Do you make decisions
for control?

Obeying God is doing it
when He wants, in His
timing –

How God wants you to do
it –
When He wants you to do
it –
The Way He wants you to
do it!!
God expects us to obey
Him, in obedience!!!

Obedience to God’s will is
the best way.

God is over!
God is ruler!
God is in control!!

God gives us a free will –

Then we make choices that
can cause us heartache,
suffering and disaster –

God is ruler of the entire
universe –

God has the right to rule
over us.

I must have faith to be able
to obey Him –

I must pray for the grace to
obey God.
God has a Plan!!

Obedience takes courage,
fortitude, that is a virtue.

Wait for the Lord’s timing!
Why do we disobey the
Lord?
God’s timing is perfect.
God knows what He wants
to accomplish in our life.

We turn to God, before we
make a decision.

Why just do your plan, first?


Meditate on His Word, day
and night,
and pay attention to it!!

We are to listen to Jesus.
Remember the
Transfiguration
“This is My beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased,
listen to Him!”
Disciples listen to Jesus!!

Jesus gives us Himself.

The Bread of Life is the
Word and the Eucharist.

God makes His will known
to us. Study the Word.

Don’t listen to Satan.

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 possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

R. Seek the Holy Spirit,
God sends guides in our
life, but we can ignore those
guides to do our own will or
listen to the wrong input.

Fr. Carter always said,
“discern the spirits.”

St. Ignatius Spiritual
Exercises addresses this.

We can work bad habits
that are familiar because we
don’t want to change.

Mary at Fatima said we
must convert.

We can work a problem,
over and over again, the
wrong way because it is
familiar.

Ephesians 4:25-32

So from now on, there must be no more lies. Speak the truth to one another, since we are all parts of one another. Even if you are angry, do not sin: never let the sun set on your anger or else you will give the devil a foothold. Anyone who was a thief must stop stealing; instead he should exert himself at some honest job with his own hands so that he may have something to share with those in need. No foul word should ever cross your lips; let your words be for the improvement of others, as occasion offers, and do good to your listeners; do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God who has marked you with his seal, ready for the day when we shall be set free. Any bitterness or bad temper or anger or shouting or abuse must be far removed from you-as must every kind of malice. Be generous to one another, sympathetic, forgiving each other as readily as God forgave you in Christ.

R. When we sin and disobey
God we ask for forgiveness –
Right Now –
(not try to make Right –
Wrong and Wrong - Right,
that is the evil one tempting
that way).

We tell God we are sorry
when we sin. Tell the truth!

If I do it again, I repent - I
deal with it!!

Abraham was told to walk
where God showed him.

We walk in the unknown, we
obey God.
God wants us to walk by
faith, to follow Him, follow
His guidance - He leads us
in the unknown - He takes
us step by step –

Our God is an awesome
God –
Our God is a Personal God.

Dear God, Help me to root
out rebellion and willfulness
in my heart.

Dear God, clean out
unrighteousness, help me
to be obedient to Your will.

Dear God, I beg for Your
blessings and the grace I
need most, cleanse my
heart of rebellion and
disobedience, teach me to
love as You desire, my God.
I love You with all my heart,
Amen.

Dear Holy Spirit, fill our
hearts with Your Light and
help Your truth be in us.
Amen.

Are we true to our word?
Do we accept correction?
Do we obey authority?

Are we obedient to rules?
Jesus is the King of Glory.
We worship You, our Savior
and King. Amen.

Jesus is the King of our
hearts. Amen.

Sin is Bondage, it is suffering,
disaster and disorder.

Mary loved the Father’s will.
Mary wanted to please the
Father.

Jesus showed us what love
was all about. Jesus lived
the Father’s will.
Do what God wants of us
willingly and in love.
We act like Jesus would
before the Heavenly Father.
Love is giving according to
God’s will, doing good as
God desires, with no strings
attached.
We do good coming from a
pure heart to serve and love
God and others –
We live to have our hearts
and pure minds.

How is our heart inside - is it
generous in serving God
with our life?

We should be happy we can
do things because we are
healthy, and are able to do it.
Gratitude. We will miss it
when it’s gone.

An attitude of gratitude!!
God has called us to a
vocation. Do we have an
attitude of service?
Do we want to help and
work with others?
Are we thankful for health,
friends?
Are we helping to build
God’s Kingdom and give
with a generous heart?
 

Prayer from St. Ignatius

Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed the wounds;
To toil and not to seek for rest;
To labor and not to ask for any reward,
Save that of knowing
                    that I am doing your will.

   
R. Dear Lord,
I give You my heart. I want
to dwell in Your Sacred
Heart and Mary’s
Immaculate Heart.
I love You so much.
I praise You, worship You
and adore You.
Amen.
Alleluia.

Glorious Mysteries

Rosary for Nuns and other Religious

Feast of the Assumption

Before the Tabernacle

Received from a live recording as Rita delivered these messages from Jesus and Mary before a large group of sisters at a convent.

The Resurrection

1. Jesus: I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Open wide your heart and let Me penetrate your heart with My abundant grace. My dear precious ones, how I long and thirst to be ever closer to your hearts. I wait at the door of your heart and I knock to come in, to be joined ever closer in such deep union with you, to shower My gentle love upon you. I am Jesus! I came to give you new life that you will have this life to the full. Open wide your heart and let Me in. Put aside all the distractions, all of the doubts, all of the worries of this day and let Me talk to you deeply in your heart. Let Me tell you the words of My love and tell you more and more of the mysteries of My life and My mother’s life. I love you! I love you! I love you! I am waiting for a deeper love relationship with you, My beloved spouse.

2. Jesus: The seeds of time move exceedingly slow. You are My soldiers that I am sending into a world that has turned their hearts to stone. I give to you the mighty medicine, My abundant love to plant these seeds in the hearts of all that you touch. I am Jesus. As you dwell more and more in My Heart and My Mother’s Heart, we live in this world through you. I love you! I love you! I love you! It is through the light in your eyes, the love in your heart that many hearts will be changed this day. Open your heart and let me fill you with My grace, My burning love within your heart.

3. Jesus: Life is not life, if it is not rooted in Me.

4. R. See before you as clearly as possible, vividly, the picture of our beloved Jesus with His arms outstretched, His head crowned with thorns, the blood on His face and His body; His body withered and hanging from the cross. He gave the last beat of His Heart, the last drop of His blood. See Him, His withered body as it hung on the cross. Keep this picture in front of your eyes. As we meditate on these glorious mysteries, keep this picture vividly fixed in your mind.

5. R. Next to this picture, of Jesus’ Crucifixion see the picture of Jesus as He rose on the third day, victorious from the Tomb. His glorified wounds, His body glistening in light. Our beloved Savior raised from the dead, victorious! Death has no power over Jesus. We see the withered body of Jesus hanging on the cross and next to this, we see Jesus triumphant on the third day.

6. R. He has all the power. We go through our lives, a constant struggle and rising to new life. All through our day we go through these struggles and as we live in Him as He allows these events to happen in our lives, we rise more and more to life in Him. Every moment of our day, rising to new life as we become saturated more and more on our journey toward our final home in Heaven. Who are we that at Baptism, we are given a sharing in His life that we some day will be united in deepest union with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit for all eternity if we do what God wants us to do.

The Rosary is the story of life. The life from the Father, in the Spirit, the life that God the Father sent Jesus into this world in the womb of the Virgin Mary. The Baby Jesus formed in Mary’s womb, Jesus received this life for His little body from Mary, His Mother. The Rosary is the story of life. Life flows from the Father in the Spirit through the pierced Heart of Jesus in the Heart of Mary to us, as we carry His love to all those we touch.

7. R. On the way to Emmaus, Jesus walked with two disciples and He accounted for them all the Scriptures that pertained to Him, from Moses and the early prophets. When they arrived at Emmaus He broke the bread and they recognized Him. Later they said, “Were not our hearts burning within us?” As He accounted for us the Scriptures we read the scriptures, we are given the Scriptures and the Mass. We are given the Sacraments — we are given the Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Mass. We are given these gifts. Jesus is alive! He wants us to be saturated with His grace. The disciples on the way to Emmaus said, “Were not our hearts burning within us?” As He accounted for us the Scriptures, Jesus is giving to us these messages to help us to be filled with His grace in our hearts. Jesus loves; He loves each one of us with the tenderest, gentlest love and He is calling out in these Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to share more and more about Their lives with us as it flows in our hearts. He wants us to know that He is alive and outpouring His life to us.

8. R. On Ascension Thursday, I had such an experience and Jesus called out, “I am alive! I am alive! I am alive!” The emotion that I experienced and the sufferings; not sufferings that hurt, but great joy to hear His words. For He bids me to tell you how He is alive, and for three days I cried to hear what He said and to experience what I experienced. Jesus Christ IS truly the Son of God. The same Jesus that walked the earth and hung on the cross, and was carried in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Jesus Christ is in this room truly present in His Divinity and humanity. He is calling out from the Tabernacle for us to come and to unite in deeper and deeper union with Him. For He longs, He thirsts and He waits for our love. He stands by the door of our hearts and He calls out, “I am alive! I am truly present in the Eucharist. I dwell in your hearts. Minute by minute, second by second I am dwelling within you; when you are in the state of grace, in a special way.” Who are we that God dwells in us? The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us when we are baptized and in the state of grace. If we could see our own graced soul, to see the beauty of this soul filled with His life. We are given such gifts. Are not our hearts burning within us? Are we not crying out, Jesus is alive! Why do we not stand on the roof top and shout to this world that is suffering and in pain, “the medicine is the love of God.” He is alive and we have the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we have the Sacraments. We have the priests. We have you beautiful sisters. We are given such gifts. The Rosary is the story of His life and Jesus is alive! We share in His life through baptism. Are not our hearts burning within us that the Almighty God unites with us? Who are we that God loves us so much? This is the story of His life. Jesus Christ came to this earth. He lived and He died. He gave His flesh and His blood and He remains with us this day in greatest love calling out from the Tabernacle, “I am alive! I am alive! I am alive! I love you! I love you! I love you!” Do we not hear His words, His tender words of love? This is how Jesus loves. He is the bridegroom of our souls.

9. Song: Are Not Our Hearts Burning Within Us

10. Jesus: My dear special sisters, you are chosen by Me, My beloved spouse. I am waiting and longing to unite ever closer to your heart. I love you with a burning love. I want you to love Me with a heart that is filled with burning love. I am waiting for you. Come to Me in silence. Let Me speak to you as you sit before My Tabernacle, I outpour to you more and more My abundant life. As you are filled more and more with My grace, you understand greater insights into My divine mysteries. I am giving to you a sharing in My life. Each day you understand deeper and deeper these mysteries. The mystery of My love for you. I am Jesus. I love you! I love you! I love you! I am sending you into a world that is filled with many hearts that are turning cold and hard. They are suffering. They are your brothers. Stay rooted firmly in the burning flames in My Heart. You are My beloved sisters, the stars in the sky. I have called you and I want to unite to you deeper and deeper in My love.

Song: Come Holy Spirit, Come Holy Spirit.... to be sung after each decade.
   

The Ascension of Jesus

1. R. It is in Baptism that we share in His life and we are commissioned to go forth to carry the Gospel Message. To live His life, death and resurrection in our lives as we dwell more and more in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in us in a special way when we are baptized and remain in the state of grace.

2. Luke 24: 50-53

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. They worshipped him and then went back to Jerusalem full of joy; and they were continually in the Temple praising God.

3. Jesus: I come to you My beloved ones, with a Heart that is burning and filled with My divine love. I give to you a sharing in My life. You were commissioned in Baptism to go into this world and carry out the work that I have begun. My dear ones, My dear sisters, so precious to My Heart filled with burning love, come to Me, for I am waiting and longing for your love.

4. R. We see the apostles; simple men. We see Peter as he denied Jesus three times. They slept in the Garden. We see that they were men that lived and walked with Jesus, yet they had faults. These were the men that He chose to start His Church.

Jesus: Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build My church.

5. Acts 1: 5

John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’

6. Jesus: My beloved ones, The word is mission. I send you into this world My soldiers to go forth and to spread My love. The days here are short. They seem to linger, but the batting of an eye and your life is ended. I call you to love, love of God, love of one another. Many souls are suffering and in pain. They are your brothers. I ask you to love as I have loved you, to pray every day to the Father in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Spirit with Mary your Mother to pray for the souls of your brothers and to offer up all of your actions done in accordance to the Father’s Will. Done in great love. Such a strong prayer — Live in the Father’s Will. Unite your prayers as an offering to the Father through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for your brothers, for the souls in Purgatory. This world is suffering and in pain. You must pray as you have never prayed before. I am Jesus. I am calling to you with whatever your state in life is at this moment to be an apostle of prayer, to spend your days living in the Father’s Will with love, performing all your actions for your suffering brothers and sisters.

7. Jesus: Prayers, My dear ones, can stop wars. Pray to your Father, pray with all your hearts. I call for a love relationship with you, that you will love Me with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being, not words that you recite, but a consecration to My Heart and to the Heart of My beloved Mother. I am Jesus. I am waiting for you all My dear ones, as I hung on the cross, My arms outstretched. The nails penetrating My hands and My feet. The thorns had punctured My head. My dear ones, I gave My All! But My greatest sufferings was not what you see when you look at the cross, the wounds that covered My body. My greatest sufferings were the sufferings of My Heart for the indifference, the neglect, the sacrileges committed against My Heart. For I would have suffered more for My beloved souls. I love! I love! I love each and every precious soul! I shed My blood for each soul. Each precious soul created by the Father, loved dearly by Him. Will you not pray for your beloved brothers? All of your days is a prayer for this world that is suffering and in pain. I am crying out to you My beloved ones. You are My apostles that I am sending into this world to spread My love. You cannot march on this world. You must pray with all your heart. You are My chosen ones. I AM JESUS! I love you with the deepest love.

8. R. Jesus gave to us His beloved Mother to mother us. She mothers us more than any earthly mother. She leads us on our way; our way to our home in Heaven. Jesus ascended into Heaven to prepare a place for us in our true home. He gave to us His Mother, to mother us, to mother the Church.

9. R. Let our hearts be filled with such joy for the great gifts that we are given. The sharing in His life through baptism, He loves His Church. He gives us the Mass, the Sacraments. He loves His priests, the religious. Let us thank the Almighty God for the gift of His life, the fact that we can share in this. That the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in us when we are baptized and in the state of grace. Dear God thanks for your grace poured out through the Church to us. Who are we that God the Father so loved this world that He sent His only begotten Son into this world? We are loved so far beyond our comprehension.

10. R. Let us bow and bend low and kiss the ground before the Tabernacle, for the Almighty God, Jesus Christ, the Son of God is truly present in this room, the same as the day He carried His cross on His back. If we saw Jesus walk across this room, we would be in awe. He remains in this room with us. He gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist. We unite in deepest union with the Almighty God and His Divinity and humanity, His true presence. Are not our hearts burning within us? God gives Himself to us.
   

The Descent of the Holy Spirit

1. Acts 2: 1-4

When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.

2. R. These were the men that were filled with fear. When the Holy Spirit descended upon them, they were transformed from fear to fearlessness. They went out to preach the Gospel message. They saw Jesus die. They saw Him after He rose. They saw Him ascend into Heaven. Peter, who had denied Jesus, now went out and he went from town to town fearlessly preaching the love of God.

Acts 4: 4

But many of those who had listened to their message became believers; the total number of men had now risen to something like five thousand.

R. He went from town to town and He healed the sick. He knew Jesus was alive. I heard Him call out, “I am alive! I am alive! I am alive!” He calls to us this day to go out into this world and to be fearless soldiers and to preach the Gospel message, the message of His love. We have the greatest gift to give to this world; the love of God alive in our hearts.

3. R. They were locked in prison and they got out singing. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit live within us when we are baptized and remain in the state of grace, dwell within us at every single second. The more we realize this, the more we are not afraid. The more we have the fearlessness of the apostles. If the sun ceases to shine and the earth shakes, I know that I am never alone. God is inside of me every single second, with the deepest love if I am baptized and in the state of grace. As I breathe, as I live, He lives in me and I am united to Him. No matter what goes on around us, we are never alone.

4. Jesus: The sun may not shine, the earth may shake. My dear, dear ones, I am alive and I am with you this day. Open wide your hearts and let Me penetrate your hearts. I want hearts that are burning, in love. Hearts that are filled with fire. Pray to the Holy Spirit to transform you from fear to fearlessness, to fill your hearts with the fire of God’s love. My dear ones, you are given such great gifts of sharing in My divine life and My divine love. My precious sisters, chosen by Me for a special mission, I love you! I love you! I love you! Dearly I love you and wait by the door of your heart. Rid yourselves of any of the walls that are keeping you from a close union with Me. Remove all of the debris in your hearts, any resentment, anger that keeps you from deeper union with Me. Trade any bitterness in your heart for a heart that is filled with My Divine love. I want your hearts holy My dear ones. Hearts that are on fire and filled with love. Hearts that sing with the love of God. Hearts that love; love God and love one another. I am giving to you, My abundant life. I am filling you with great graces. As you are filled, you will march forth into this world and carry this love in your being. As you are in your hearts, so shall you be in this world. Make hearts sing with the love of God. I am alive! I am alive! I am alive! I live in your hearts this day.

5. Song: A Song from Jesus

6. Song: I Love You, Jesus

7. Song: Come Holy Spirit

Jesus: My beloved sisters, I am outpouring to you My grace. I share with you My abundant grace. I ask you to open wide your hearts. Let me penetrate your soul. Come to Me. Remove any walls and know My Divine love. I am alive. For I am longing and yearning to be closer and closer to you.
 

September 4, 2004

8. R. See the face of Jesus as He hung on the cross, His head crowned with thorns, the dripping blood on the side of His face. See His arms outstretched as He hung for three hours to His brutal death. His body wounded, and His hands penetrated with the nails. See Him! This is the love that He gave His All. This is how He loves! He gave His flesh, His blood and in greatest love for us, He remains with us this day as He gave Himself on the cross. He gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist and as the priest raises up the Host, I hear Him call out, “This is MY BODY! This is MY BLOOD!” Then He says, “I want hearts that are on fire for love of Me. This is the love that I give to you. Come to Me, My beloved ones. Trust. My Heart is on fire for love of you. SAY Sacred Heart of Jesus I trust in You.”

 

April 5, 2001

9. R. The wind may blow and the sun may cease to shine, but in our hearts we know the presence of the Almighty God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit that live within us and dwell within us. This is life, the presence of His life in us. His burning love in our hearts. We are given such gifts through baptism.

10. Song: Come Holy Ghost

Jesus: I love you! I love you! I love you! My beloved sisters, I am longing for deeper and deeper union with your hearts.
   

The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven

1. Revelation 12: 1

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.

2. R. The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign, and there will be an era of peace. The Father chose Mary from all women to be the Mother of God. God the Father sent His Son, Jesus into this world, in the Virgin Mary. How favored this beautiful daughter of the Father, that He chose Mary to be the instrument whereby He sent His Son into this world. This tells us of the great love that the Father has for the Virgin Mary.

3. R. Life flows from the Father, in the Holy Spirit into the Child Jesus through the Heart of Mary. The Rosary is the story of life. For two mysteries of the Rosary, we meditate on the Child Jesus within the womb of His mother; in Mary. The Father loved Mary so much that He chose her to be the mother of Jesus. The Child Jesus in the womb of His Mother receives His life from Mary’s Heart.

4. R. He nursed at the breast of His mother and received His life from His mother. Mary is our mother. Mary is the Mediatrix of all grace. From the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus flows this life. Through the Heart of

 

 

April 5, 2001

R. Mary, pierced invisibly seven times, and this life flows to us. God calls us to be an instrument to reach others.

5. R. Let us dwell in the Heart of the Virgin Mary. For she dwells in the Heart of her Son. As deeply as we dwell in her heart and in His Heart, we are saturated deeply in His grace. Who are we that we were given such gifts, that we partake in His divine life?

6. R. Do you feel this life within you, in your soul penetrating your being as we are saturated more and more and at every Mass? Each word of the Mass receives more and more meaning as it becomes more and more alive. As we know them more and more, each word of the Scriptures has so much more meaning as we grow to such radiance — being saturated more and more with His grace — an endless source that is never exhausted Our union in eternity depends on the saturation of our life here below.

7. R. As we dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary saturated with this life, this is our little eternity here. The most important thing in our life is our union with Them. As we become one in Him, as we live in Him, through Him and with Him, everything in our life works out more and more according to the Father’s Plan.

8. R. He came to give us life that we would have life to the full. We must strive to live according to the Father’s Will, always doing His Will. The Father has a plan for each one of us uniquely created and so special to Him. Each one of us, His beloved creation. He loves us so much. In this union with God lies our peace and joy.

9. Mary: My children, My children, My dear little children. Come to my heart. Come and dwell in my heart. I will bathe you in my love as the Holy Spirit transforms you more and more into the image of my Son. As you are transformed into His image, you are united more with your Heavenly Father. I am Mary, your mother. Come and dwell in my heart. As you dwell in Our Hearts, you will be God’s instrument to spread His love to all.

10. Mary: You are in a battle this day between good and evil. The forces of satan are so strong, my dear little children. You must come to Our Hearts and dwell in Our Hearts for the times will become much more difficult. It is in dwelling in Our Hearts and realizing the presence of the Almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit within you that you’ll be strong soldiers and filled with peace in the deepest struggles and difficulties. You will progress more and more in your life united more deeply to God. You shall dwell and live in Our Hearts. I am Mary, your mother. My dear little children, how gently and tenderly I care for you. I protect you and spread my mantle over you this day. On this special feast of the Assumption, come to my Heart. Consecrate your heart to my Heart. Give your all, my dear little ones. For the rewards that you will receive outweigh any of your expectations.
   

The Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

1. R. At the Holy Spirit Center, the windows in the Rosary Chapel are the Rosary. As we receive more and more of these meditations and these messages on the rosary, the windows are so alive to me. To look at the windows, I am filled with such joy. For I love more and more Jesus and Mary, and I love to meditate on Their lives. I love the fifteenth window, Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven and earth, and Jesus is crowning her, and the Father is above and so is the Holy Spirit. I want to be so united with God forever in heaven. I am so filled with joy when I look at that window. Fr. Carter called dwelling in Their Hearts our little heaven on earth. We are saturated more and more with His grace the more we go to Him in love in the Sacraments, we want to be with Him forever and ever in heaven.

Song: Eyes Have not Seen

2. Revelation 12: 1-2

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.

R. In the reading this morning they talked about the dragon appearing. We are living in this world and the forces of satan are pressing down. Mary is the new Eve, and Jesus the new Adam.

3. R. Satan prowls through this earth trying to devour all the souls that he can. I see the Blessed Mother over and over again. Her beautiful face as she calls out for the little children that are going to be lost to the fires of hell to see her face and to hear her saying this, “My dear little children will be lost to the fires of hell. Pray as you have never prayed before. I beg you — I beg you to pray. I am your mother!” I hear her say this every time we do The Finding in the Temple for she lost her Child in the Temple and so many of the children are lost this day. She begs us with her motherly Heart and her beautiful face to pray.

4. Mary: You, my dear children are the children of the Light. You are going into battle. Satan intends to devour as many souls as he can. You are My soldiers that I am sending into the fields to spread My light in the darkness. I am filling you abundantly with My love, my motherly love. You are showered with abundant grace. My dear ones, your hearts filled with the fire of the love of God and you will shine as lights in the darkest night. Open your heart and receive all the gifts that are being outpoured to you. Time is urgent. The place is set. Many of my little children will lose their souls and be condemned to the fires of hell. I am begging you to pray. Pray from your heart. Pray with a heart that is on fire for the love of God. My little children will be doomed forever and ever. Pray! My Son Jesus came to this earth to save each and every soul.

5. R. The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumphant, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign when our hearts are joined to Their Hearts. Let us pray every prayer to the pure and tender heart of our mother praying in Mary’s Heart. With her love for the Father, all the memories that she has in her Heart of the Son. All the love that she has for the Son and the Holy Spirit. Let us pray from her heart and LOVE with her Heart, love God and love one another with a pure and tender heart.

Jesus: Pray through the heart of My beloved Mother.

6. Jesus: I come to give you life, that you will have life to the full. Release yourselves. Let Me fill your hearts with My grace.

7. Jesus: The batting of an eye, the dropping of a pin and your life is over on this earth. My dear ones, your true home is in Heaven. Live your lives in accordance to the Father’s Will. With love, always love. Love God. Love one another. Strive to be holy as the Saints, living ordinary lives, but lives of holiness. Lives of love. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. Come to My Heart and I will teach you the ways of My love.

8. Song: I Know Your Love a Little Now

R. Jesus, teach us the ways of Your Heart. Fill us with Your life, that we may know more Your Ways.

9. R. As I walked I knew the presence of the Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit within my heart. I do not want to ever lose that state of grace by mortal sin. I realize this presence within me; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God walks with me, God is in me. In my every prayer I am united with God. My heart is filled with greatest joy. The Almighty God lives in me. Who am I that God loves me so much?

10. Jesus: You, My beloved one are My child. I love you! I love you! I love you! Come and dwell in My Heart. I am waiting and longing to be so close to you. Open wide your heart and let Me fill you with My life. As you go to the Heart of My mother, as you model your lives after My mother, you will grow more and more in holiness. If you love and serve your God as He wants, someday soon you will be in the courts of Heaven in deepest union with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit united to all the angels and saints and your hearts will sing. You will know the presence of the Almighty God.

Song: Come give me life, abundant life. I thirst to be with thee.

Glory Be

		Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year (2011/2012) $ 10.00 Guiding Light homily series — Reflect on the Word — Cycle B     The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $10

		Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 Guiding Light homily series — Steadfast to the Son — Cycle A    The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $10

		Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 Guiding Light — Focusing on the Word — Cycle B    At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $10

		Guiding Light - Feed My Soul Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Litugical Year $ 10.00 Guiding Light — Feed My Soul — Cycle C    In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $10
