R. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary
sacramentally made present.
Devotion to the Sacred Heart means: God
gives Himself to man and man gives
himself to God.
We see this Covenant relationship in the
Mass.
This is what happens in receiving Jesus in
the Eucharist.
I give myself to Jesus, He gives Himself to me.
Jesus’ Heart is the purest, most perfect Heart,
His Heart is heated in love of us.
This is Divine, on-fire love.
The love Jesus gives us is reciprocated by our
giving of ourselves whole heartedly to Jesus.
The Mass brings this intense love between
God and man.
And because of this love relationship with
God, how do we love one another.
Can it be said of us:
We know they are Christians by their love?
What is needed in the tainted hearts today
is a love relationship with the Sacred
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, our Savior.
What the world needs now is devotion to
the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
What the world needs now is love.
The world belongs to Christ.
Christ redeemed the world.
Since we love Christ we must be involved
in the world!!!
We are involved with our neighbors.
We must do our part to make the world
a better place.
Making it more holy.
God created the world holy.
Christifiers
“It is better to light one candle than curse
the darkness.”
When I would have a vision, a golden veil
would come down (see-through veil).
When the vision started - hard edges softened,
then it would come.
It had beautiful light, these were visions
especially where there was an altar in the
front of Church.

Heavenly
Father with the tenderness as His little
child.

Matthew 22: 36-40
'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'
Dear Holy Spirit, strengthen our will and
move like a Divine breath in our soul, to
be docile sons and daughters of our
Heavenly Father. Amen.
Alleluia.

The Agony in the Garden
1. Luke 22:
39-46
The Mount of Olives
He then left to make his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, with the disciples following. When he reached the place he said to them, ‘Pray not to be put to the test.’
Then he withdrew from them, about a stone’s throw away, and knelt down and prayed. ‘Father,’ he said, ‘if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.’ Then an angel appeared to him, coming from heaven to give him strength. In his anguish he prayed even more earnestly, and his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood. When he rose from prayer he went to the disciples and found them sleeping for sheer grief. And he said to them, ‘Why are you asleep? Get up and pray not to be put to the test.’
2. Jesus saw the selfishness from the sins
of pride
and selfishness when He suffered in the Garden.
3. Jesus is the second Person of the Blessed Trinity.
4. Jesus is God, All powerful and Almighty and He
endured it for our sins.
5. So God wants us to unite our sufferings up with
the Mass.

The Scourging at the Pillar
1. Luke 23: 15-19, 22
...As you can see, the man has done nothing that deserves death, so I shall have him flogged and then let him go.' But as one man they howled, 'Away with him! Give us Barabbas!' (This man had been thrown into prison because of a riot in the city and murder.)
And for the third time he spoke to them, 'But what harm has this man done? I have found no case against him that deserves death, so I shall have him flogged and then let him go.'
2. The devil is relentless, He never gives
up,
if he can get away with it.
3. Dear God, I am sorry for my sins, help me
to love.

toe.
5. Jesus' flesh was beaten and torn, Oh Jesus I
love You so much.

mountain.

8. God created the stars, the beauty under the
ocean, the baby in the womb, God created
me.

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.
10. Sing: I Am Your Sacred Heart
The Crowning with Thorns
1. Matthew
27: 27-31
Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Praetorium and collected the whole cohort round him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet cloak round him, and having twisted some thorns into a crown they put this on his head and placed a reed in his right hand. To make fun of him they knelt to him saying, ‘Hail, king of the Jews!’ And they spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head with it. And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the cloak and dressed him in his own clothes and led him away to crucifixion.

much.

9. Oh Jesus, I love You.
10. Sing: I love You, Jesus!!!
The Carrying of the Cross
1.Luke 23:26-31
As they were leading him away they seized on a man, Simon from Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and made him shoulder the cross and carry it behind Jesus. Large numbers of people followed him, and women too, who mourned and lamented for him. But Jesus turned to them and said, ‘Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep rather for yourselves and for your children. For look, the days are surely coming when people will say, "Blessed are those who are barren, the wombs that have never borne children, the breasts that have never suckled!" Then they will begin to say to the mountains, "Fall on us!"; to the hills, "Cover us!" For if this is what is done to green wood, what will be done when the wood is dry?'
2. Jesus carried the heavy cross with our
sins.
3. Veronica wiped His face.

on the cloth.

9. Oh Jesus, I love You.
10. Sing: I Love You Jesus
The Crucifixion
1. Mark
15: 24-38
Then they crucified him, and shared out his clothing, casting lots to decide what each should get. It was the third hour when they crucified him. The inscription giving the charge against him read, ‘The King of the Jews’. And they crucified two bandits with him, one on his right and one on his left.
The passers–by jeered at him; they shook their heads and said, ‘Aha! So you would destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days! Then save yourself; come down from the cross!’ The chief priests and the scribes mocked him among themselves in the same way with the words, ‘He saved others, he cannot save himself. Let the Christ, the king of Israel, come down from the cross now, for us to see it and believe.’ Even those who were crucified with him taunted him.
When the sixth hour came there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ‘Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?’ which means, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ When some of those who stood by heard this, they said, ‘Listen, he is calling on Elijah.’ Someone ran and soaked a sponge in vinegar and, putting it on a reed, gave it to him to drink saying, ‘Wait! And see if Elijah will come to take him down.’ But Jesus gave a loud cry and breathed his last. And the veil of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom.
2. Jesus hung for 3 hours on the cross.
3. Lord thank You for making a way for me.
4. Dear God increase my faith.
5. Jesus died for me.
6. We are to help in the building of the
Kingdom of God.
7. Dear God, I love You.
8. Dear God I love You.
9. Dear God fight my battle here for me.
10. Song: I Love You Jesus
Sing: Let There Be Peace on Earth
Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, life.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
