ELATIONSHIPS: BE IN ONE HEART WITH ALL MENBetween 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., Divine Mercy time:
R. My dear Jesus,
I have been troubled for a long time with my relationship with others.
To have a heart like Yours, I cannot have division in my heart toward
any man. I feel separation between myself and many others. To be in one
heart with all men, I must not have division with any person, primarily
my family. I must, at all times, stay one with my husband and obey him
unless he tells me to commit a sin. I must be loyal to him.
Everything is as it is for You have allowed it in my life. I must always live in the Father's will to have peace in my life. Nothing that is right need be hidden. I do not have to reveal myself to every person, but I must remain undivided and one with all my brothers in Christ at all times.
My primary concern is that of being obedient to You and living in the Father's will.
Fr. Carter is my spiritual director. He represents You to me on this earth. He tells me what You would tell me, and You have given to him great graces to help me draw closer to You. Nothing I do on this earth is of any account if it divides me from You. Under obedience, I must comply always to what he tells me. My closeness to him is as my spiritual director. You act through him and guide him in his actions to draw me closer to You.
I thank Him for all He has given to me and am forever grateful for His deep love for me!
I see as never before, since December 15, when I was enveloped in Jesus' love and existed in God. From this point on, the goal of my life must be to live to try to be as my heavenly Father wants me to be. I am weak and I fail, but my goal is to love God above all things, to always do His will, to want nothing but to please Him as a most devoted child, living to please her Father. I love God with my whole heart and my whole soul and my whole being. I love each and every Person of the Trinity. I love God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I know and love Him as one. I know and love God as one. I know and love God in each Person of the Trinity. I know so much from standing under the crucifix and being so united to Him on December 15, 1995. He lifted the veil and I saw with eyes unveiled.
I saw with eyes unveiled. I know now the immense concern of His Heart. His Heart is a Heart of endless love. It is burning. It engulfs a soul. He takes them unto Himself. He gives us special moments in which many things are made clear. In that moment, I was embraced by His burning love. I was swept within the deepest chamber of His Heart and heard the roar of the fire from His Heart. In that moment, I knew what it was to be united to God. My eyes were unveiled, and I was enveloped and swallowed up by His presence. I existed in Him. I existed in the endless cavern of His divine love. I wanted for nothing. I felt satisfied, for in that moment I was absorbed in Him, and I knew no fear being united to love itself.
I do not think that I am better than anyone. He has given to me great gifts to share His burning love to all. With all my heart, for my whole life, I will spend all my waking hours trying to please Him and tell this world of His love, my whole life being lived to love God and my fellow man.
Oh, that He loves us so much that He gave Himself for us, and He gives Himself to us now. In the deepest recesses of His Heart, I will find shelter from the rain and the storm, for the embers of His Heart burn the brightest and we cannot even comprehend this deep cavern of His endless love.
He took me to the deepest chamber of His Heart, and I was embraced by the love of God. To this day, I will not be the same. I saw with unveiled eyes, and I saw, as He allowed me to see, with His divine wisdom. Many things being made clear, I embraced eternity, and I know the presence of God as never before.
Alleluia, Alleluia. He is a God, true and just, Who knows no favorites, but loves all His precious souls with an unfathomable love. Alleluia.
(I had a dream about a little boy riding his bike. A bunch of hungry kids would kill him. I woke up and my heart was sick.)
We must be willing as a little child to suffer martyrdom for His sake. We will love to the bitter end, for in the cavern of His endless love there is no fear. Perfect love cast out fear. The Holy Spirit fills our hearts with the fire of God's love, and we are indeed made fearless in His love.
The wind may blow and the earth shake, and we will not fear for we exist In God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We are one with the heart of Mary and one with the world and all its inhabitants. To know Him is to love all He created, and to know Him is to love all. There will be one heart and one soul, all united under the reign of His Sacred Heart. The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign, and we will be one in Their Hearts. To know Him, to be one in Him is to exist in His love. We will be joined in one heart with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary were joined in one body before His birth. We will be joined in one heart, all the members of the body of Christ. The Church is the body of Christ. Jesus is the Head. Mary is the Mother of the Church. Mary is our Mother; the Father is Our Father.
As members of His body, we will be like Him in our actions. He lives in the hearts of His members and His love is emitted from their being.
We are one body in Him, joined as one heart in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
They were in the upper room, and the Holy Spirit descended on them and they were as one mind. We will be one mind and one heart, living in the Father's will.
Jesus has said:
"Unless the messages of My burning love are transmitted among the members of My body, the Church, the bloodshed will continue"
"Spread these letters to this world, Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary"
R. They were one mind and one heart for they knew His love, His burning love.
Jesus: I am the Alpha and the Omega, this is My gift to this world, to draw all hearts into the furnace of My Burning love, how I love My beloved souls. I am one with you now.
R. See the heavens and earth as one in Him, all living as being one. The unseen world is really real. What is really real is that which we do not see and do not fully comprehend. We do not know how we ourselves breathe and why our hearts beat and why, at one moment, our bodies will cease to be alive.
Man tries to explain everything with scientific reasoning. He cannot explain the vast universe and the life in the womb of a mother. He cannot explain the power of the sun, and he cannot control the weather, the clouds, a disease such as cancer. He cannot live on his own, he depends on a Being higher than himself-this Being is the Almighty God! I see so clearly how our interior life must be rooted in Him.
We search. We want something to feed our starved souls. We want a person, place, or thing to fill the hunger within us. There is no other way. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. The more I search this empty wasteland, the more I am left empty. All things must be used according to His will, not too much, not too little, neither all nor nothing, but moderation in all things.
For me many times it was easier to be extreme one way or the other. This is not of God. All things are in moderation, according to His will, not my will. He gives us what we need to help us to grow in sanctity. If we do not learn the lessons, He increases His teachings. All things in moderation, according to His will.
We see hardened faces in this world. We know of the hardened hearts of men. The eyes are sullen, their actions self-centered and on the surface.
He is the source of life.
He says:
I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
he prunes
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
that I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
-and withers;
these branches are collected
and thrown on the fire
and are burnt.
…My command to you
is to love one another. (Jn. 15:1-17)
R. He is the Life. We receive our life in Him. We are as the branches connected to the tree. If I am an isolated branch disconnected from the vine, I do not have life in me. I will wither and die.
We are one in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. As I become one in the sacrifice with Jesus and die to myself and offer myself to the Father. I am one in Him.
The oneness is deep, not lip service love. All members of the vine must live with their primary purpose to know, love, and serve Him. He died and what flowed forth from His Heart, His adorable Heart, was blood and water. He is the Source of our life. We are given and nourished by Him. As we become one in this Heart, one in the Sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present at the Mass, we become one in Him. His life comes to us through His Mother, Mary. She stood under the cross, and Jesus gave us His Mother as the Mother of our spiritual life. Our life in Him is in a constant state of becoming in the spiritual womb of our Mother through the action of the Holy Spirit. The life of the Church is in a constant state of becoming as Mary mothers the Church through the action of the Holy Spirit.
Life flows from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, and through the heart of Mary.
We cannot leave out the Source. To focus on the interaction only between the members is to cut off our life supply from the source. And what does He want? He wants life rooted in Him. He wants oneness with Him. He wants us saturated as watered and fed deeply in Him. To be saturated with His life, we will bear abundant fruit.
We must feed the hungry with the message of His burning love for them. To not have His divine life is to be starved.
So many this day have cut themselves off. They exist isolated from the vine. Their interior life lacks the light of His life. Their hearts are hungry. They exist in and of themselves. They have made themselves their gods. They exist with a gaze that is focused on self.
Unless we die to ourselves, we will not have life in Him. Man cannot serve two masters: He must be rooted in Him. These roots are deep penetration. The heart is the life of the body. In dwelling in His Heart and His Mother's heart (her heart that dwells most perfectly in His Heart), we are saturated with His divine life.
A branch cannot exist separate from the vine. Likewise, we cannot be one body in Him if we are not joined in one heart and one mind with Him.
The Father has a plan for us. We were uniquely created. Each branch of the tree has its own beauty. Each one of us, created in His image and likeness, have a beauty uniquely our own. It is in living in Him that our beauty reaches greater perfection as the Spirit's action works on us to sanctify us. He wants us holy as saints. He wants us to be joined in Him. He wants our goal to be a reflection of the God Who dwells within us. He wants to live in us and become one in us and live in this world in us.
A
BOUT THE MAGNIFICATWritten at 6:45 a.m. at All Saints:
R. I had such an experience and was overwhelmed by the love of Jesus. I cried.
Written later at 8:30 a.m. at Mass:
R. Fr. Carter spoke about the Magnificat today in the Gospel. It made me cry. This is exactly how I have felt - so little, like a speck, but under the cross at Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church on December 15, I was not little. He had raised me to such heights in Him. It was as if I was elevated in the corner of His burning Heart, and I was existing in Him and being in Him!
I cried hardest at the Consecration - I am so aware of heaven and what is going on, filled with deep, deep emotion at the miracle taking place as I unite myself in this sacrifice with Him. I die more and more to myself and unite to Him. Such emotion, for it is in the Mass I am being more deeply one in Him, dying to myself and uniting to Him.
After Mass, I was surrounded by His love, joined in His embrace as at Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church under the cross. I do not care who is there - I am lost in Him. He and heaven are all that exist to me. He and His Heart - I did not feel sorrow. I felt His embrace as if He pressed me to Himself. It was as if I felt the thorns surrounding His Heart press into me. Now my heart really hurts. My heart hurts so badly right now.
I feel the thorns that surround His Heart. I will forever feel these thorns when I look on His Heart surrounded by thorns. The thorns press into His most adorable Heart. They press for the neglect and indifferences shown to Him, especially in His sacrament of greatest love, the Eucharist.
Jesus: How the Mass is rushed and treated with such irreverence. I give to you these mystical experiences during the Mass to carry this message of irreverence during the Mass to the world. I want you to instruct all on the meaning of the Mass, teach all to love the Mass, teach all about Jesus in the Eucharist. Circulate the Second Blue Book to nuns and priests. You will continue to suffer great agony in your heart. My Heart was pierced with a lance and blood and water poured out, you experience such sufferings in your heart. These sufferings are of great joy to you, for it is through the Mass many will receive abundant graces. I beg for reverence during the Mass, I beg for deepest love of God shown in the Mass. I beg for reparation for the sins of all men and reparation for the blasphemies against My Mother's heart.
R. I am so weak. I am wiped out. I know many agonies and many joys in the Mass. I know His deep love and the excruciating pain He suffered. I know what it is to be embraced by His love and feel the thorns pressed against my heart. I know the Almighty God in such a way I cannot even write here.
After Communion, I felt embraced, deeply, by the presence of God and satisfied, but I felt pain in my heart.
I remember Christmas 1993, the pain was so excruciating. It started at church, and I went home and wanted to scream or express it in some way. I went to my room before my big Sacred Heart picture that was with me when I wrote, and the pain was unbearable. I will never forget it. It is from these experiences I intimately know my beloved Lord.
I feel it is Jesus and I. I can share with Mary too. How she knows His Heart. I can't really share the deep, deep place I have been with anyone. Jesus knows I remember the intimate times with Him in Mary's House at the Center - so many wonderful experiences with my Divine Lover as He revealed the deep insights into His life, His love, His sufferings, and Mary revealed the insights and intimacies between her and her Son. She revealed her suffering and so much more. I now am experiencing deep insight into them here at Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church, especially under the cross and at the 12th station. This is how it was this morning before the tabernacle. I was embraced, as I was here, to a small degree with His divine love. I am wiped out now.
Mary, as I meditate on the mysteries of the rosary, you, who dwell in His Heart and know His Heart, share what you know of God with me that I may love Him and share in His love.
L
OVE HIM QUIETLYR. I can communicate with others far better sometimes by not talking. That is how it is with Jesus. This chit-chat is not what is in my heart at all. I just talk to not be silent. With Jesus, I am just silent. I just want His presence. I have to learn to be quiet with others. I am just talking because I am nervous, and I am not saying anything that is in my heart and soul.
In my heart and soul is love, rooted so deeply in the love of Jesus. I have to learn to quit talking. I am not even saying what is going on in my soul.
Gift of love: St. Paul said, "Though I command languages both human and angelic-if I speak without love, I am no more than a gong booming or a cymbal clashing." (1 Co. 13:1)
My heart is so much deeper than words. To speak is to take away what is in my heart, for what is in my heart is so deep.
D
O ORDINARY THINGS WITH LOVEWritten at 12:15 p.m. at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church:
R. How I long to be covered with His blood all over me - the precious blood of my Beloved, shed for our sins and the sins of mankind. I went to Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church at 12:15, so eager to be there, filled with such emotion. This is my greatest, deepest feeling, to be here with my Love. My sacrifice is to do the ordinary things and drudgery, with love! I don't always love as I should. I must see beyond the person to an ideal self and to love them. I must see Christ in them - see how they reflect Christ. I need to quit focusing on myself. I do not need to explain!
A saint is one doing ordinary things with love - always love. We must keep our focus on Him. The world is dying in their hearts. The world is keeping children focused on excitement from the outside. It has games that appeal to all senses as a brainwashing technique. They keep the child looking for instant excitement from the outside. It is so intense, so exciting there that their bodies cannot even take it!
High, intense excitement - where does the child go to get the next fix, that which will feed this high level of gratification that they are not even looking for? Sex, drugs, etc.-what excitement comes after that? The devil has created these games and is brainwashing the hearts of the children. All that is sought is on the outside - the real source of life is within the heart.
God is the Source of life!
If the world can keep people focused on the outside, all they need can be found outside the body, excitement to satisfy the body beyond all comprehension. Where does a child go when they are given computers that talk to others on the other end of the world, games that isolate children and keep them in an intense state of self-indulgent gratification They reach such a level of intense gratification that they could kill? They have practiced combat - they have been there!
INTENSITY - responding under intensity - violently
INTENSE NOISE
KILLING AND GUNS
INTENSE SITUATION
A CHILD'S FACE IS RED when HE IS DONE playing some video games
R. Children are taught intensity in video games. They are taught to respond in violence. There is intense noise, use of guns to kill. They are given intense situations.
| The way of God teaches: Love Union Bonds Interiority Connection Sacrifice Will of God Selflessness Surrendering |
The way of the world
teaches: Fear Intensity Isolation Responding with violence Heart hearts - ready to kill Indulgence Pleasure Self-UNO Willfulness Aggression-I have power, I am in control. |
God teaches us to love according to His will. God wants us to surrender and be led by the Spirit. The world is teaching youth, through the video games, to respond quickly with violence, aggressive behavior; they teach all who play them to respond quickly with anger to kill. Children have practiced these techniques. They have practiced killing quickly. How sick is this?
The games promote: reactive behavior, controlling behavior, pleasure, self-indulgent behavior, isolating behavior, focusing on the exterior, abandoning the interior heart, and violent behavior. The person playing the video games needs high levels of excitement.
Jesus showed us the way - Christ lived for 33 years a calm life, a carpenter's son, a family life. He gave Himself, gave His all and surrendered to the Father's will. He was always calm. He had peace in His Heart. He came in poverty. He left covered with blood.
Women were portrayed in the video game as nasty, with an ugly face and foul language. Mary is our model.
And Mary said:
"My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Savior;
because he has looked upon
the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
has done great things for me.
Holy is his name." (Lk. 1:46-49)
December 26, 1995
Before the Tabernacle
Joyful Mysteries
The Annunciation
1. R. Let's put ourselves in the presence of the Almighty God and be so thankful that we are here in this room and that God is truly present in His Divinity and humanity. Out of greatest love He remains with us in this room. Let our hearts skip a beat with such joy for this gift we have, that God is with us and in this room and that He loves us far beyond what we could comprehend.
2. R. An angel appeared to the Virgin Mary and asked Mary to be the Mother of God. Mary complied to the will of the Father. This was her great desire: to please her Father as a little child wanted to please her beloved Father. Mary said yes to the angel.
3. Song: Holy Mary, dwelling place of God
4. R. God so loved this world that He sent His only begotten Son into this world to save men from their sins.
5. R. Jesus is our mediator with the Father. Jesus is truly present in this room with us, in His Divinity and humanity and outpouring to each one of us abundant graces. Jesus is longing for us to tell Him how much we love Him, and to thank Him for coming to this earth as our Savior and King.
6. R. Do we realize that God loves us? That Jesus came to this earth in the womb of a human person? This is the love that God has for man that He sent His Son in the womb of the Virgin Mary. We love You so much, God. Jesus is truly present in this room in the Holy Eucharist. We want to give You our love Jesus. Help us to show our love to You in this rosary. Mother Mary, help us to love your Son, Jesus, through your pure and loving heart. For we know that God is all worthy of all our love and we want to give this love to Him. We love You so much, Jesus. Thank You for coming to this earth for love of us.
7. Hail Mary
8. R. There is such intimacy between Jesus and His Mother. He wishes His Heart to be venerated next to the heart of His Mother. Mary and Jesus are one in Their Hearts. They want us to join in such oneness with Their Hearts, so that there will be one flock and one shepherd.
9. R. We see how the Virgin Mary always complied to the will of the Father all through her life. The angel appeared to her and she said "yes" to God. Mary said yes all through her life. Mary stood under the cross. We see Mary held the lifeless body of Jesus in her arms. Mary carried Jesus in her womb. Mary held Jesus as a baby and Mary held Jesus in her arms, lifeless under the cross. Mary complied to the will of the Father. In compliance to the will of the Father, this is where our peace and joy lie. All through Their lives we see Jesus and Mary in total peace. It is in living according to the Father's will that we too will have peace and joy in our lives amidst the every day sorrow and suffering. The key to living in peace and having joy is to strive, always to live according to the Father's will.
10. Hail Mary
The Visitation
R. See in this room the angels surrounding Jesus in the Tabernacle. Think of Jesus in the Tabernacle and if we could really see with eyes unveiled, the Almighty God, it would blind our eyes for He is here. Jesus, the Almighty God, is truly present in the consecrated host. He is truly present, the same as the day that He walked this earth and His words to us are, "My dear sweet ones, I long for your burning love. I am present and in this room, waiting to join ever closer to your hearts. How tenderly I love you and want to be so close to you. I call out to you. I call out for I long to give you My love and to hear you say to Me how much you love Me. I am a Person. I am alive and I am with you this day. Come into My Heart and let Me bathe you in My precious love."
1. R. Jesus was carried in the womb of His Mother. The Son of God, carried in the womb of a human person. Jesus is mistreated today. How God is offended by the actions of His beloved creatures. Jesus calls out to us to come to Him. Jesus says, "how few souls come to Me and give Me their love. I wait and I long for you. I am a Person, waiting for your love. I am Jesus. I love you."
2. R. Mary carried the Child Jesus within her womb and went to visit her cousin Elizabeth. When Mary arrived at Elizabeth's, the child in Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy at the presence of Mary and the Almighty God.
3. R. Jesus is in the Tabernacle in this room, no less present than the day that He was carried in the womb of Mary. Are not our hearts burning within us to realize His presence with us in this room. How favored we are that He remains with us now!
4. R. Let us praise Him and love Him and endlessly beg Him to help us to love Him more. Ask Mary to help us to love Him through her heart that is so pure, for He is the Almighty God, worthy of all of our love.
5. R. Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit and cried out Luke 1: 46-47 "My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour;" Mary said that she found her joy in God, the living God. Yet we look all over to find joy and pleasures to satisfy us, when that which satisfies us, is the Almighty God. Nothing satisfies the starved soul but the love of God. Jesus is truly present and with us here.
6. R. How the sun blinds our eyes when we look at it, but God is more powerful than the sun. We cannot even comprehend His Might and His Power. Look at how God is treated this day! Our every breath and every heartbeat depends on Him. In baptism He gives us a sharing in His life. Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in our graced baptized soul. In the busy world today so few take the time to spend with Jesus.
7. R. Jesus gives us Himself in the Holy Eucharist. God comes to us and gives us Himself. Think of some who receive the Eucharist dishonorably. We should fall on our face at the great gift that we are given. That the Son of God gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus is no less present than He was in the womb of His Mother when she carried Him to her cousin Elizabeth's. Are not our hearts burning within us that God loves us so much?
8. R. All through the day let us focus on the presence of the Almighty God, who is with us. Let us yearn for the moments we will be with Him before the Tabernacle and when we receive Him within us in the Holy Eucharist.
9. R. Let us center our life around Jesus. Make Him first in our life. Our greatest desire being, to know, love and serve God. To beg God for grace that we may grow more and more in our knowledge and love of Him. Each grace given to us - a visit from Jesus.
10. Mary: My dear children, I am Mary, your Mother. As my messages come to an end on this earth, I am calling to each of you to read the messages given, to live the messages in your lives. I am with you in a very special way. Every time you pray the rosary in this way, my Son will speak to you and I will be with you.
The Birth of Our Lord
1. R. Jesus came to this earth and He showed us the way. He came in poverty. How is our world this day? How do we see the world on this December 26, 1995, with all of our gifts and technology? Many use the world this day to seek pleasure. If we look to Jesus and we meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary, we see Jesus came in poverty. Jesus came in a stable, lying in a manger, without heat, surrounded by the beasts of the earth. This is the Son of God, who came to show us the way.
2. R. Jesus' way is the way of love. Jesus came and He gave Himself to His death on the cross. Jesus gave His Body and His Blood and He gives Himself to us this day in the Holy Eucharist. Look how Jesus is treated this day - Jesus came into this world, Jesus was rejected, Jesus went out of this world hanging on a cross. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. His way is the way. God controls our every breath.
3. Mary: My little children, I am Mary, your Mother. I will continue to talk to you for a while longer. I am asking you to go to the Heart of my Son to be ever closer to Him, to carry His light to the world, the light of His love, to look into the eyes of those that you meet and see the reflection of God within them, to look at them with the eyes of love. Pray to the Holy Spirit to fill your hearts with the fire of God's love, that you may love your brothers in darkness.
4. R. A star shone above His bed. He is the light of the world. It is in Him that we will know His light. Let us go to Him and unite in deeper union with Him. Let us be witnesses to the light, for His light is a mighty light - a light too mighty to be contained. The world today needs this light to show them the way.
5. R. I see into the inner recesses of His Heart, the burning embers, this endless cavern of Divine love. Let us ask Mary to take us to the Heart of her Son, to dwell within that Heart, to feel the presence of the Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, within our graced baptized soul, to know that we are never alone, that He is there with every breath that we take - He is there! We have nothing to fear if we stay rooted in Him. He tells us to stay rooted in Him. How deep, how intimate it is to be rooted in Him. He does not want a lip service love affair with us - He calls us to be one in Him. He wants us to live in Him, through Him, with Him. In Him we offer ourselves as a sacrifice with Him in the Mass, as we unite with such union with God. We talk about the love of God, we see that His love is so deep, so we should treasure the gift of His love. Jesus came to this earth in the womb of a human person and He went out of this earth hanging on a cross. Jesus has promised abundant graces to all who come and pray this rosary, to be drawn ever closer to this deep union with Him. Let us ask the Almighty God for the graces to help us to realize more the love of God, the great gifts that are given to us.
6. Song: O Come, O Come Emmanuel
7. Song: What Child Is This
8. R. The long awaited day came and Jesus was born in the town of Bethlehem. He lived on this earth, He died on the cross to save men from their sins and He rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven. And, He left behind His Apostles to carry out His work. Jesus is with us this day and in this room. He is the Savior of the world. It is in Him that we are saved. Let us give to Him our love, with our whole heart, our whole soul, our whole being.
9. Song: A Song from Jesus
10. R. Can we comfort His aching Heart helping to make reparation for the sins in this world today? At each Communion, ask Him to help us to love Him more - He wants us to make reparation to His Heart and the heart of His Mother for the blasphemies against her heart, and for the indifference and ingratitude against His Heart. Jesus is with us. He is alive. He is calling out. His Mother has appeared and she has delivered her messages and they have been ignored and forgotten. Mary asks us to read her messages again and again and to live these messages, for God is with us but He is treated so irreverently by many. Let us make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary for our sins and the sins of mankind.
The Presentation in the Temple
1. R. Jesus was taken to the Temple and the prophet Simeon was there. He foretold the sufferings to come.
2. R. Simeon said that this child was destined for the rise and fall of many in Israel.
3. R. Simeon said to Mary that a sword too shall pierce your soul.
4. R. From this time on Mary had a constant aching in her heart, from the prophecy of Simeon, for she knew of the sufferings to come. Mary's heart was invisibly pierced with a sword. Jesus' Heart was pierced with a lance. This is the love that Mary and Jesus have and They show us Their Hearts this day. Yet so much of our world is turning to cold, cold hearts. Jesus appeared to me and I saw His Heart. Jesus' Heart is surrounded by thorns, for the indifference and ingratitude of His beloved souls that He loves so much. I see this pierced Heart. This is the love Jesus has. It is a deep love. The lance pierced His Heart. The swords that invisibly pierced the heart of Mary. How is the love that we give to Them? The love that we give, that is so shallow? Jesus cries out, I want hearts that are burning and on fire for love of Me. We have so little time to give to Him this day. Mary calls out over and over again. I have seen Mary before me over and over and over again, crying out to reach the children, crying out how many souls will be lost, telling us to consecrate our hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Mary tells us to observe the First Saturday devotion. Simeon said to Mary, "and a sword too shall pierce your soul, Oh Mary."
5. R. Let us help make reparation to the two most adorable Hearts of Jesus and Mary that are filled with such love for us. Let us help make reparation for our sins and for the sins of all men. Let us go to communion to help make reparation for the offenses against Their two Hearts.
6. R. This is a time when there is much darkness in the world but God is outpouring His grace and His mercy.
7. R. I see Mary as she is in the Temple, holding the child Jesus in her arms. Simeon tells her of the sufferings to come. We see Mary as she holds Jesus' lifeless body under the cross. It is in going to the heart of Mary that we will be led closer and closer to the burning furnace of the Heart of Jesus. Jesus wants our heart on fire for love of Him. This is the message that I have received over and over again. His Heart is on fire for love of us. He wants this oneness with us that we can say with St. Paul --
Galatians 2: 19-20 ...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.
8. R. Through Him, With Him, and In Him - let us be one with Him. Let us be so united that we will be more one in Him.
9. Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary
R. We pray to you, little Child Jesus, through the tender heart of Your beloved Mother, to help us to be the lights that shine in the darkness, to help us to unite in such union with You. We want to be instruments of Your love in the world. Let Your light shine through us. Help us to love with Your Heart.
10. Hail Mary
The Finding of Our Lord Jesus in the Temple
R. Help us to die to ourselves, to unite with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to be more and more as the Father intended us to be, to be like Jesus more and more in our actions.
1. R. Mary's heart was in such sorrow at the loss of the Child Jesus. Mary searched for Jesus and she found Him. My Vision: Mary, as she stood under the cross, I hear her as I have heard her call out many times for other little lost children of this world. I have seen her before me and heard her call out: "Pray as you have never prayed before. Pray the rosary, spread the rosary to the children. Meditate on Our lives that Our lives will live within you." These are the messages that Mary has delivered. She is calling out to go over these messages, to pray the rosary, and to meditate deeply on Their lives. Mary wants us to be her children of light in this world!
2. Mary: My dear faithful ones, so many of my children are lost this day. I speak and I tell you from my motherly heart how I wish you to pray. I am calling out to you to read the messages given to pray the rosary with all of your heart, to give your hearts to my Son, Jesus, to give your lives to Him, to pray to love Him more.
3. Mary: Satan stalks this earth seeking little hearts to devour, the hearts of my little children are so offended this day. I am calling out to you to take this as an urgent plea from your Heavenly Mother - to go out to this world and to speak of the love of my Son, Jesus, for many children this day are suffering far beyond your comprehension. I am Mary, your Mother. I am begging you to pray as you have never prayed before and to spread the rosary to the little children, for they are being fed such filth on this earth. I beg you, I beg you, to answer this plea.
4. R. Mary stood beneath the cross and Jesus gave her the children of this world as her children. How tenderly she loves all of her children. Mary is our spiritual Mother, Mary is Mother of our Christ-life. How her heart is in such pain for the little children of the world and how they are being poisoned this day! Do we hear the cry of our Mother? Jesus was lost in the Temple and that separation between Mary and her Son made her suffer so in her heart. Mary stood beneath the cross and she watched her Son, covered with blood, His hands nailed to the cross, and she knew that many would throw away the graces that were given and lose their souls despite His sufferings. I know some of the pain in her heart and His Heart. I know the cries of Mary and Jesus. The message is an urgent message for the pains are deep pains. They come with thorns around Their Hearts. They show us Their Hearts and the devil has waged a war against this world. The devil wants many of Mary's children heartless. It is so hard, so hard, to know what Mary says and to see our heavenly Mother and to watch this world. We need to pray with all our hearts, to give our whole selves to Jesus, to let Him use us as He wills, to carry out the messages of His love to this world.
5. R. Mary stood beneath the cross and her heart was in such pain for she knew of the children this day that would be lost despite His suffering and His pain. Mary calls out for us to pray and to give ourselves to Him that He will use us to be the lights that shine in this dark world.
6. R. Sainthood is doing the ordinary things in our daily lives according to God's will with much love. Let us love God with our whole heart, with our whole soul, with our whole being and love one another as He has asked us to love.
7. Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary
8. R. I heard Jesus call out on Ascension Thursday, "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive." Jesus is alive and truly present in His Divinity and humanity in this room. Jesus lives in our hearts. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within Our graced baptized soul. We are the lights that He is sending into this world. Let us pray for the grace to know and love Him and to unite in such oneness with Him for this is a great honor that the Almighty God loves us so much that He came to this earth and that He wants to be one with us and to be with us forever and ever in Heaven. Let us thank Him and love Him with all our hearts.
9. Song: I Come to You with greatest Love
Song: O Burning Heart oh love Divine
10. R. Let us pray every prayer that we pray with our whole heart and our whole soul and our whole being.

A
PRAYER BEFORE THE HOLY SACRIFICE OF THE MASSLet me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.
I
T IS IN THE CROSS WE WILL BE RAISED TO NEW LIFE51R. His anguish was so great in the garden for the endless hours He would remain in the tabernacle, neglected by so many. I see the Host and a cup plainly, above the agony and the angel. See Jesus in such agony in the garden.
An angel appeared at Fatima - what did he say?
The angel came…bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed that drops of blood were falling from the Host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid-air and prostrated himself on the ground, saying this beautiful prayer: "Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners."
R. This is the greatest agony I have experienced over the rejection and indifference given to Him by His chosen ones. We were called to the Catholic faith - it is a great honor to be baptized and receive divine life! Election to be called a Catholic, election to receive the Holy Eucharist, our First Communion!
The thorns around His Heart are for the indifference and rejection given to Him. Think of it, to give Himself to us in the deepest intimacy and be rejected by us creatures. His Heart filled with love - He is Love Himself - and He is rejected by many of His Catholic elect!
Mary is treated without respect and honor, even by many Catholics.
It is the faithful that help make reparation in the reception of the Eucharist that comfort Their Hearts.
Mary's heart is surrounded by thorns from the blasphemies against her Immaculate Heart, Her Immaculate Conception, against her as the Mother of God, against her images.
Jesus' Heart is surrounded by thorns for the injustices and neglect against Him. It is our devotion and adorable reception of the Holy Eucharist that was sweetness to His bitter pain in the Garden.
I cried so hard at Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church under the cross and by the Lourdes Grotto because I so deeply wanted to love God, Who is worthy of all my love. I cried because I love God so much and want to give Him great love. In Mary's heart, I can love Him more. She loves Him more than any human person. Her heart is pure and sinless. I want to unite to Him in deepest love. By dwelling in her heart, I am dwelling more deeply in His Heart.
Oh heart of Mary, place me in the deepest recesses of His Heart that I may love Him more and more and love my adorable Father and the Holy Spirit, my beloved, beloved friend.
I just love God so much it makes me cry to talk to Him.
I carry with me the cross of Christ forever in my heart as He carried His cross. I carry His cross in my heart. I love His adorable wounds in His hands and feet and with the tenderest love I love the wound in His side. I love His body as He hangs on the cross- this is love. This is how He loves me, this is how He loves each person-to His death.
The sun shines, and as it shines I behold the cross of Christ. He is the Light to this world. By carrying His cross in our hearts, we share in His life. It is in the cross that we will be raised to new life in Him!
I could write pages on the words "In Him." These are my favorite words as they denote my relationship with Him. I am one in the Word of God. He is the Word. He is living in this world. I feel every word, for it is in me as Christ is in me. His Word is in me and lives in me.
I exist in Him, and His Word lives in me. I love Him. I love the Word of God. I am fed by His Body and Blood. I am fed by His Word. My heart burns to hear it - to read it - I feel it alive in me because He is alive in me!
Think of how it would be to stand tied at the pillar and be slapped by instruments that burned your flesh and tore it, to be slapped on the arms and the face and the back and to hear the loud laughs of the men whipping you. How cruel were the hearts of those who whipped Him, and how His Heart ached for they were loved so by Him!
T
HEY COME WITH THORNS IN THEIR HEARTSWritten after Communion:
R. He emptied Himself. He poured out His Heart, literally blood and water poured out of His Heart. He gives to us this Heart this day in the Holy Eucharist, and He is rejected.
How hard it is when we pour out our hearts to someone we love, when we give love and are rejected by those we want to love us most. This is the hardest to endure.
Jesus, Who is love, gives His all, this magnificent Heart of love, gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist and look how He is treated by some of those He loves. This was one of the greatest agonies in the Garden. The Eucharist is the sacrament of His greatest love, given to us. He is treated with disrespect, irreverence, indifference, and neglect in this gift in which God literally gives Himself!
He poured out His Heart to us and He was rejected by many. Today, He pours out Himself in the Holy Eucharist, and He is treated so badly by so many. He asks us, especially in the reception of the Eucharist and in front of the tabernacle, to help make reparation to His adorable Heart for the offenses against Him.
Mary asks us, in the reception of the Eucharist, to help make reparation to her Immaculate Heart for the blasphemies against her heart. They come with the thorns surrounding Their Hearts. I have experienced such agonies in my heart. I feel as if I have had ridges in my heart because it has happened so many times, over and over again and so deep.
These agonies, I believe, are from the thorns piercing Their Hearts for the injustices against Their Hearts. With each act of love I give to Mary, loving her as the Mother of God, loving her in her Immaculate Conception, loving her as the virgin who gave birth to the Son of God, loving her images and statues, I see each thorn turned into a flower, a garland surrounding her Immaculate Heart of love.
I want to love Him with the deepest love, to
make reparation for the indifferences, offenses, negligences,
disrespect, and irreverence shown to Him in His sacrament of greatest
love. I ask Mary, with her pure and Immaculate Heart, to let me love Him
more through her heart, that I may love Him with greater love. My
greatest desire in life is to give love to my precious and beloved God.
I beg Him to help me to unite to Him, to more worthily love Him with the
deepest love.
It is in carrying His cross in our hearts, accepting the thorns in life graciously, outpouring our abundant love to Him, that we help make reparation to His Heart which suffered so much during the bitter Passion.
Let us help make reparation to these adorable Hearts in the sacrament of His greatest love, the Holy Eucharist. It is there we can more greatly love Them when we are united to Him in deepest love.
L
ET US LOVE THE TWO HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARYHE GAVE HIMSELF TO US ON THE CROSS. HE GIVES HIMSELF TO US IN THE EUCHARIST.
R. How great was the act of love, God gave to this world, when He gave Himself and died on the cross. He gives Himself to us this day in the Holy Eucharist.
The greatest commandment is that we must love God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being. This is a commandment. If we are to enter heaven, we must follow the commandments. They are commands given by God for us to follow.
The greatest act we can do on this earth is an act of loving God. The reason for our existence is to love God. In the sacrament of His greatest love, He gives Himself to us. This is an act of love on His part. We are called to respond by giving ourselves in love to Him.
This is the purpose of the Holy Eucharist: to unite in such oneness with our Holy, Loving God. Our all consuming passion should be that of loving God. How many go to the Eucharist with the sole purpose of giving great love to God? He wants us to love Him. He wants souls to tell Him how much they truly love Him. This is the most intimate act of love when Jesus gives Himself-Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity to man. If it is such an act of love, how are we receiving Him in Communion? We should beg God, in this most intimate union with Him, to help us to love Him with greatest love.
Jesus is a Person. He wants our love. The Holy Spirit wants such intimacy with us. Our Father wants us to love Him. In the Eucharist, we unite with God. In this intimate act of uniting with our beloved God, with Divinity, we must pour out our love to God. We must pour out our heart to the most adorable Heart of Jesus. Jesus is so unjustly treated by many of His beloved souls He loves so much. Let us help make reparation to the Almighty God by loving God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being in the sacrament of His greatest love. This is the Gift of Himself.
Think of how it is to love someone and give your all for that person, to pour out your heart to him or her and then be treated with coldness and neglect. It hurts our heart so much more when we deeply love someone to be rejected by that person. Jesus loves us with the deepest love. We cannot fully comprehend this love. Let us love Him with the deepest love. Let us love Mary and her Immaculate Heart. Let us love her as the Mother of God. Let us love her as the virgin who bore the Son of God. May we, in the reception of the Eucharist pour out our love to Him, to this adorable Heart. May we pour out our love to His Holy Mother.
Mary said at Fatima that Jesus wants His Heart venerated next to the heart of His Mother. Let us love these two Hearts as we receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Then we are so deeply united with God. We see Their two Hearts surrounded with thorns for the injustices against Their Hearts. Let us help make reparation daily as we receive Him in the Eucharist. This is a special time to help make reparation to Their wounded Hearts.
Let us remember how He poured His love out to us on the cross and how He pours out His love to us now when He gives us Himself in the Eucharist, the Eucharist which contains His Heart of burning love. His Heart was pierced with a lance. Her heart was invisibly pierced with a sword. As the wounds in Their Hearts are deep, so too is Their love so deep.
He does not want "surface love". He wants hearts filled with deep burning love.
C
ARRY THE CROSS OF CHRIST IN YOUR HEARTR. It becomes more and more apparent that He loves us so much when we share in His sufferings. The cross of Christ we carry in our hearts. We look at His adorable wounds, His side wide open, gaping open, and we know truly He held nothing back. The blood poured out from all of the wounds in His body. He asks us to give our all, to love when we are laughed at and knocked to the ground, to love always, to not close up and protect ourselves. He did not close up the wounds. He walked on with the cross on His back. No one stitched Him up. His arms were occupied with the cross. He bled on the ground. Then, He stretched out His arms and hung on the cross with open wounds.
He asks us to share in His life, death, and Resurrection. We carry forever with us the cross of Christ in our heart. In our sufferings, we share in His Passion. In our rejection, we know the rejection He suffered in His Heart.
He loves us much when He allows us to share in this suffering. It is in this suffering and in our joys, in our love shared with one another, that we know our precious Lord. To suffer is a great gift from Him. Let us carry His cross in our hearts with greatest joy, for it is a gift from Him. It is in the cross that we share more fully in His life.
Jesus: You will know more and more how dearly I love you as you realize that sufferings bring you closer to Me. All you experience accept as great gifts from Me. It is in your suffering that you knew Me deeper and deeper. Praise your heavenly Father with the greatest joy for all the great sufferings in your life, it was there you were brought to deeper life in Me. I love you, to My death on the cross. It is in the thorns you will find the roses.
R. St. Paul says: "A man never hates his own body, but he feeds it and looks after it; and that is the way Christ treats the Church, because we are parts of his Body." (Ep. 5:29-30) We eat His Body, we drink His Blood. We are the Body of Christ. He gives us Himself to eat - we are His Body. How much more intimate that we are His Body!
From the beginning, we were conceived in our Mother's womb - the Father having a unique plan for us. I am not to be anxious. Mary and Jesus always were at peace, always Their life in order, not talkative, not boastful, living a quiet life for 30 years. I must have peace and tranquility at all times. The Father's plan is harmonious. They will assist me in any way. I do not need to be anxious or loose my trust in Him. I am as the baby at the breast. I am living to serve, to be a mother, a wife, to live in a family, to be as the Father wants me to be. His way is peace.
Mary, my model, was prudent and just, calm, a woman of few words. This is God's work; I serve. I live in Him. I am the baby; He is the Almighty God. I am one in Him. He is all powerful; I am a servant. When my life becomes unmanageable, I am doing my will - His will is peace and joy.
Spirit of God, take charge of my life to order it. I lack the virtues needed to be more like my model, Mary. Spirit, work in her womb to transform me into the image of my Savior. I want, I long, for closer union with God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is in this transformation, I will unite more closely with my beloved Father. I am Yours. I give myself unreservedly to You to do with as You want.
I surrender and give my all to Thee. Jesus died on the cross and gave His all. I unite with this sacrifice to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, and beg for this transformation in the adorable heart of Mary, my Mother. Everything I do, I want to do united to the Holy Spirit with the divine wisdom He lets me share.
M
OTHER OF GODWritten between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m.:
R. I was filled with such love for God. At the words, "Mother of God", I cried. I love those words. I love her. I love God so much. I love the Angelus. I love the relationship between Jesus and Mary. I realized how she is truly at our side - she spreads her mantle over us!
F
USED WITH THE SON AND OUR FATHERWritten between 12:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. 12:20 a
t Holy Cross-Immaculata Church:
R. Two weeks ago, I had the experience where I was united in deepest love under the cross at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church. I touched eternity. I was hurled into a red cavern of immense love. I saw myself as being contained in a red circle. I was in this moment embraced by God. I felt no fear. I felt His presence as never before. I was empowered with this union (read Dec. 18 - an account of this event). I saw as it were two circles: both red with a yellow glow. I believe today that the second heart was the heart of my Mother.
At 12:01 today, as I was praying the Angelus, I was overwhelmed by the love I had for Mary and her role as Mother of God. I cried all the way, feeling this love for Mary as Mother of God. When I arrived at Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church, I was overwhelmed by the immense love I felt for God, and I cried so hard, telling Him how I loved Him. I saw nothing else, I felt nothing else, but my great love for Him and my need to profess it so deeply within me, outpouring my love.
Today after Communion, I believe the second circle to be the heart of my dear Mother. I am enclosed in her loving heart and filled with the fire of God's love as the action of the Holy Spirit works on me and sanctifies me to make me holy. I am then hurled in the Heart of Jesus with this fire of the love of God, the action of the Spirit radiating around me, and in this moment, I am fused with the Son and the Father Who is one with Him, although I know I remain distinct.
On December 15, I felt satisfied and complete. I knew the love of God. I existed In Him. I could not even define my position. I was enveloped and embraced by the Almighty God. I had touched eternity, united with love itself.
I now believe it was in the heart of Mary, surrounded by the action of the Spirit, united in the cavern of God's love, which centers in the Heart of Jesus, that I was united with the Father.
This is what I had. There was nothing wanting in that moment - I felt complete, existing in God, in the heart of Mary!
H
E BREATHES HIS DIVINE LOVEWritten at 3:45 p.m. at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church:
R. I now know how I can dwell in her heart. It was in this moment I experienced eternity. The embrace of the divine love of God. I was enclosed in the heart of my loving Mother.
I experience the presence of the Father.
The Holy Spirit is so alive in this action, filling me with the fire of God's love, sanctifying me. The more I am made holy, the more I unite to Jesus and the Father.
It is the breath of His divine love, acting on me. He breathed His love into my soul, and my soul was made clean. I was purified more and more in the heart of my loving Mother. I go more and more deeply into the endless cavern of the fire of God's love. It is the Heart of Jesus, the great abyss of love, an abyss that is endless. It is there, I unite deeply to the Father and all at once. I experience the presence of God as I exist in the heart of Mary. I am in God and in Mary's heart, but there are no lines, no beginnings, no endings. The action is all at once, simultaneously. It is the state of being in God, in the heart of Mary. There is nothing but a feeling of presence, a completeness, a fullness, to embrace love itself and have no fear.
On December 13th, He plunged me into the deepest sufferings of Their Hearts for the injustices done to children and the pain suffered from the neglect and sins of the religious. Then, two days later, He took me to the great abyss of His love. I existed in Him, and I touched eternity.
This is the love He wants to share with us. He loves the religious with the deepest love. This is what wounded His Heart so much during His Passion. When we love another so much, our heart is wounded the most by that person's indifference.
I will forever see the fiery abyss of His love and dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This is our little heaven on earth.
The Kingdom of God is within us. We go to our interior dwelling place, and we dwell in the endless abyss of the love of God.
In the deepest chamber I am embraced by the Almighty God, and there is no fear, for in that moment, I am united with Love itself.
Mary is, indeed, the vehicle. Her heart - the way we go to the deepest chambers is through her pure and tender heart.
The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are our gateway to heaven on earth.
FLESH OF MY FLESH, BLOOD OF MY BLOOD
R. We live our whole life carrying out His life, death, and Resurrection in our lives.
I see, all through my life, that I knew Him as I lived. I was persecuted. I had joys. I fell. I was wounded. Now that I unite with Him this day, I see He allowed me to suffer a little as He suffered, and I know Him more by the experiences I had in my life. I walked the Passion with Him when I did not know I was walking the Passion. I was raised to new life in Him when I did not know that I was.
This life He gave me to live is how I know Him today. My whole life now interlocks with His as a great gift He gave me. He allowed me to share His life. Joys and sufferings are made beautiful in my life, for He is teaching me His ways. He gently gives me His loving lessons and allows me to share in His life. I love you, Jesus, my beloved Love. I have loved You my whole life for You were always with me. I close this year dwelling in Their Hearts, for I can feel Their love in my heart. I can put that whole vision in my chest and dwell now in both Their Hearts. I am engulfed in the presence of the Father.
NOTES
R. The Holy Spirit moved in the womb of Mary to form the Christ Child. Let Him move now in me, sanctifying me, and leading me to have a heart of burning love in this cold, dark world.
I experience the oneness of the Trinity alive in me.
It is in that action and presence in all of us that we unite as we dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I experience the presence in me and my heart burns. You experience the presence in you and your heart burns. We are one in these holy Hearts. The whole world is united in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. A mother protects her children. We are enveloped in her heart. We are such sinners. How could we dare dwell in His Heart with our sins? Through the action of the Holy Spirit, in her pure and tender heart, we are able to enter into His Heart, into the deepest recesses of His burning Heart. She is full of grace. We enter into her heart. She places us in His Heart. We are saturated with His life.
MARY'S SORROWS
R. Mary stood under the cross, and Mary wept. This was the final separation here on earth. His soul now left His body.
"My Son, my Son," Mary cries out in her heart - for in that moment she knew such anguish and pain for all those that would reject His grace, merited by His life and death on the cross. She knew the souls that would go to hell despite the giving of Himself on the cross.
I love the mysteries of the rosary, for they are the times I meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary, Their oneness with each other.
Mary lost her Son in Jerusalem when He was twelve. Within her Immaculate Heart, she knew God from carrying Him in her body and in her arms. She held in her heart the prophecy of Simeon. She knew of sufferings to come recorded in her heart. She knew in her heart the flight into Egypt and the love of her beloved husband Joseph. She knew so much about Jesus in her heart. She watched Him comply to the will of His Father.
How many of her little children this day have separated themselves from God?
(I smelled gardenias the whole time I was in front of the tabernacle at the Holy Spirit Center.)
MARY'S PRESENCE
R. I went to Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church to pray the rosary with my children. (I met a lady from Toronto who took photos for a magazine. I felt moved to ask her about the pictures. She asked me to pray the rosary).
It was a wonderful rosary. We prayed there before the Lourdes Grotto. The Lourdes Grotto was glistening in the most beauteous light. The rocks were seen with a mystical aura far beyond anything I could ever put in words. It was a beautiful apparition of Our Lady in the celestial looking rocks in the Lourdes Grotto with this mystical aura of light. I knew the presence of Our Lord with us as we prayed the rosary and Our Lady appeared in such beauty and light. I love to pray by the Lourdes Grotto and the big Crucifix. Oh how I love God, this is a special place for me to connect to Him and to Mary. I saw Mary young and beautiful in the grotto. I saw the rocks glistening in a silver light. I saw Mary as she came forth from the grotto and at times the grotto would disappear behind her. She is the Immaculate Heart of Mary. She appeared to Bernadette as the Immaculate Conception. I love the grotto there. I saw her alive with tender, young skin, a very young girl. I saw her face in the brightest mystical light, so young and so beautiful. Mary is so beautiful because she is so pure and loving. It is through her Immaculate Heart we will unite deeply to the Heart of Christ.
I love you,
Rita

The only thing that will help to renew the Church and the world is following the commandments and the Father's Plan. Please help us send this book to the United States priests.

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. $15 |

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. $15 | ||

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. $15 |
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. $15 |

Guiding Light — The Word Alive in Our Hearts. — Cycle A (partial) Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr. Joe has allowed us to share these great gifts with you – for greater holiness and knowing more and more about God. $10 |
