Consecration Prayer for Peace

I consecrate Russia and the Ukraine to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

I further consecrate the priests, the Church and the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

I do this in the name of Jesus in as far as I am able, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory through the powerful intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace. Amen.

I further consecrate myself, all members of my family and ask the Holy Spirit to fill us. I spread the Blood of Jesus on all above, I cast the devil into hell away from all of us and consecrate all persons, in as far as I am able,  to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.

     

Prayer for Grace for our Country

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.

R. In salvation history, times
get tough and men turn to
God and then they start to
turn away from God and
then many leave God out,
turn to false gods and then
suffering can become bad,
wars…

God wants unity,
obedience, living the Word,
living under God's
Law….faithfulness.

God loves us as His tender
child with burning love…

Romans 8: 14-17

All who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God; for what you received was not the spirit of slavery to bring you back into fear; you received the Spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out, 'Abba, Father!' The Spirit himself joins with our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God. And if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, provided that we share his suffering, so as to share his glory.

 
R. God wants us to work
things out, in order, with
those in our lives.

Some people want to be on
top their life long and chose
their actions for this.

This is the deadly sin of
pride.

Secrets can burden a man
life long and a person let
the secret control their life.

Jesus died almost bare on
the cross.
What does that tell us?????

Secrets can destroy people's
lives, if they need to be dealt
with.
 

Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

e) Relationship with Members of the Church

...The members of the Church suffering are those who have departed from this life in an incomplete state of Christian development. Their development is incomplete in the sense that grace has not fully taken possession of them, and, as a result, they are yet closed in upon themselves to a greater or lesser degree. They as yet cannot open themselves out in complete love to the Triune God in the beatific vision. They must undergo a further purification, a purification which could have been achieved upon earth with merit. Now the purification must be achieved with no merit attached. The pain of this purification is mixed with the certain expectation of achieving the vision of God. We can hasten the advent of this vision for this people by the offering of prayers and other good works. Scripture itself refers to our action on behalf of those in purgatory in Chapter 12 of the Second Book of Maccabees beginning with verse 38...

R. The truth will set you free.
We can’t hide our actions
from God.
Our actions are not
isolated, what we do
effects others' lives.
We are called by God to
love God, and others, as
ourselves.

God has a Plan for our lives
and He wants us to work
His plan.

We can’t disobey God and
hide the truth from God.

Doesn’t the Garden of
Eden tell us this.
This starts the Bible.

God commands we love.
We cannot make others
victims of our ugliness.
We are under God.

   1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.

When somebody lies they
may not want to tell the
truth.

You can’t make wrong
right -
to try to is impossible.

Is it better to tell the truth
and do God's will
or worry about covering up
individual lies to “save-face”?

God the Father tells us to
live in the truth.

Not live lies.

God the Father is Our
Father in heaven.

Keep your eyes on God!!!

We have to face the truth,
even when it’s hard.
God is absolute truth.

 

Feast Mary's Holy Name
September 12, 2022

 

Pray for Fr. Joe please.

 

Mary Our Mother
 

 

September 10, 2022

Jesus: I am the bread of life -
He who comes to Me will not
hunger.

R. In baptism God elevates
our knowing and loving
capacity.

The Holy Eucharist is to
help us to have unity.
We are the body of Christ.

The distorted vision from
Satan is to focus on self,
disunity, division.
Devotion to the Sacred
Heart and Immaculate
Heart help us to have unity
in Them.
Mary and Jesus’ Hearts are
the Hearts of greatest love.
To have devotion to Jesus’
Heart helps us to have
greater love for Our Father,
as Jesus loves His Father
with greatest love.

Love in the Hearts of Jesus
and Mary help us to have
unity. We are one dwelling
in Their Hearts with our
brothers.
We are working with others
in love as team players on
God’s agenda.

There are two roads - the
road to God helps us in our
vision to see as the
Heavenly Father’s Plan.
The other road that leaves
out God, or puts ourselves
before God, leads to
distorted vision opposed to
God and as we live this, the
road gets wider and wider
with distorted vision.
This road as it gets wider
leads us away from God’s
will living as He wants of us
in unity and love.

Jesus says: I am the way,
the truth and the life!!

R. There is no fear in heaven.
There is no anxiety in
heaven.
God created us to grow in
love, to grow in the image
and likeness of Jesus.

God wants us to know, love
and serve Him and to help
promote the Kingdom of
God.

God wants us eternally with
Him in heaven.
We are here to prepare for
heaven.

Dear God, we love You.
Amen.

When we choose the road
opposed to God’s will, it’s a
bumpy road. Opposing
God’s will, it is not smooth
sailing.

We may be surprised to
learn what is going on
when the deception of
those opposing God’s will
is uncovered.

The devil works harder to
get a person to see with
greater and greater
distorted vision when they
choose the road opposed
to God.

Life / Death
This life is promised to no
man.
Our soul is immortal.
God wants us with Him
forever in heaven.
God calls us we may suffer,
but God has a plan for us,
even in suffering, God can
help us to forgive and love
again, it’s our choice, God
can turn sufferings into joy.

We see the Sorrowful
Mother.
Jesus died to bring us new
life in Him.
Surrender.
Jesus is our Savior.
Amen.

Jesus died on the cross.
Jesus died on the 3rd day
to bring us new life.
 

R. Come Holy Spirit come
enlighten my mind, purify
my heart…
The Holy Spirit guides our
actions - our life being to
please God every minute
and not lose the
opportunity to do so.
God is teaching us every
moment of our lives His
way.
Jesus is the way, the truth
and the life.
Life is in Him.
For dinner I fixed a salmon,
it was cleaned, prepared
and dead.
By eating this protein I
hope to be stronger in my
life.
I know I need balance,
balance in eating right, in
trying to work with others,
in exercise, in prayer, in
handling cleaning, in unity,
responsibilities God
expects of me, things I am
accountable for in my
vocation, marriage, family,
etc.

Balance, I am accountable
to God for my actions and
how I did them, keeping
my eyes on the goal which
is eternal salvation, helping
to build His Kingdom, I
cannot zone out, put a box
on my head, block my ears
and ignore what God is
calling me to do.
Jesus came to the earth
and lived the quiet life,
Rahner says, for 30 years.

Some may be so distracted
they do not stop to know
the depth of being still,
being united to God,
learning the lesson God is
teaching in the moment.

Living, really living in the
moment with God.
Song: Live This Day

R. In the transfiguration the
voice of the Father is
heard "This is My beloved
Son in whom I am well
pleased, listen to Him.”
Jesus is the Father’s
spokesperson.
Eve gave into the
temptation of Satan in the
Garden, because of pride
she disobeyed God. And
Adam disobeyed God.
Jesus and Mary are the
New Adam and the New
Eve.
God the Father recognized
His Son, Jesus, at the
transfiguration and told us
to listen to Him.

How cold is our heart if we
treat others Jesus sends
with a direction like a cold
boney hand. The question
then is, how was Jesus’
hand nailed deep to the
cross, cold and boney?

How were Jesus’ legs as
He carried the heavy cross,
laden with the sins of the
world. Are we identifying
our sufferings with Jesus.
How do we know of the
love Jesus has for His
Father? Depth, devotion
and adoration, praise to
His Sacred Heart.

How do we learn, disciples
listen to Jesus, the Father
told us in the
Transfiguration to "Listen
to Him."
God is the ultimate
mystery, for all eternity we
can be wrapped in the
embrace of the Trinity:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
How are we growing in our
Christ-Life in this life?
How are we preparing for
the beatific vision?
Are we like children, open
and ready to be taught
about the interior life of the
Trinity?
Are we team players as
members of the body of
Christ, allowing such unity
from Holy Communion and
grace from the sacraments
to permeate our lives, so
Christ lives abundantly in
us in our lives, and
operates from us?
   

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.

  

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. The Church is one, holy,
Catholic and Apostolic.

Reality is in God.
A person living in God will
see reality more and more
in the way it is.
A person walking in
darkness, may try to put
reality into his distorted
vision.
What looks good to him is a
hollowness in distorted
vision from walking this
path rooted in their vision
and fed by the world.
Christ: I am the Light of the
world. Reality is as it is in
God.
R. The more one closes in on
themselves refusing to be
taught, seeking selfish, self-
enclosure, the more their
measuring stick becomes
their own distorted vision
and it gets wider and wider
and more and more
shallow.

You have a free will.
In the Our Father it says:
Our Father… Thy will be
done on earth as it is in
heaven.

Seek the Lord and He will
be found, knock and He will
open.

Seek your old distorted
ways and that is what you
can get.
It can be based on
generations of distorted
thinking you were taught
and adopt without listening
to God and being open to
the truth.

How are you a light to
teach others about the
reality of God the Father?
Do you endorse the Light
of Christ?
Do you work as a team
player helping others to
grow by your example in
the spiritual life?
Are you allowing God to
operate from you to teach
His lessons to the world?
Are you a disciple of God
being a listener and lifting
others up, or do you live in
isolation, dragging others
down to generations of
distorted thinking?
Jesus: Misery loves
company, people are buried
in graves, I rose from the
dead, My glorified body
and I ascended into
heaven.
Walk in the light, why force
generations of dysfunction
on others.
I am the Word, I give you
Myself.
The bread of life is the
Word and the Eucharist.
Do people know Me more
from knowing you?
How do others see the
Word lived in your example
in your lives?
A tow truck tows cars that
can’t move.
Are you like a car that is
stuck and needs a tow truck?

Jesus: The sun rises and
sets in the sky, not on the
rebellious.
The world is big with so
many people, how stilted to
live in a box and ignore the
reality of God, based on the
rebellion of one's own
merry-go-round.

Some when they are
tempted by Satan turn
away from God to give the
devil freedom with them -
allowing the devil to control
them.
A person surrendering to
Satan sees
the world as a little box,
closed in and they control
it. Any attempt to raise
them up is rebuffed as they
rebel against what God
wants, living in darkness
and numbed out from their
own rebellion against God.

A person living deeply in
Christ does want God’s will,
loves God, doesn’t lose
control and give
themselves to Satan.

THEY TURN TOWARD
GOD
NOT AWAY FROM GOD,
they rely on God’s help, not
turn themselves over to let
Satan control them.

My way is warmth, comfort,
love, and devotion to God,
not a parade of ugliness
and attack.
I am the way, the truth and
the life.
There are two roads. One is
following in My footprints,
being an example as the
Father created you to be,
lifting others up.

The other road gets wider
and wider as one does their
own selfish, rebellious
works. Their vision is more
and more distorted.
Reality, to them, is the
vision of the world.

I am the Light of the world.
Walk in My light. Do not
follow Satan in selfishness.

Sorrowful Mysteries

July 5, 1995

The Agony in the Garden

1. Jesus: Be alone with Me. Focus totally on My presence with you. I am Jesus. Put aside all of the thoughts that are in your mind that are applying to the distractions of this world and focus totally on the events of My passion. My dear ones, My dear ones, feel the presence of the Almighty God within your heart as you feel when you receive Me in the Holy Eucharist. Feel this presence so alive within you. It is in praying and realizing My presence with you at every second that you will be closer and closer to Me all through your day. Feel this presence. I am Jesus. I long to be so close to you.

2. R. I see before me Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, and I picture myself there with Him in the quiet night. Jesus the Almighty God, Jesus who knew, in His Divine knowing, all things all through His life from infancy until this time, in His Divine knowing, an awareness of the sufferings to come. Even as a helpless baby, a baby that could not talk,in His Divine knowing He knew all things for He was truly God.

3. R. In His Divine knowing, Jesus could see before Him all of the sins of every man for all time. He could see all things. How His Heart was in such anguish to know all of the indifference and neglect, the cruelty of the souls that He loved so dearly.

4. R. How much pain and anguish a human heart can hold to know the sufferings of the loss of a loved one, to know the hurt of someone very dear, to be rejected and treated coldly? Think of your heart and the deepest sufferings you have had in your heart when you loved someone so dearly and were rejected. Jesus, the Almighty God, loved each soul to His death. This is the love that He came to this earth and would give His flesh and His blood for each precious soul and in the garden He saw before Him all the souls that would turn their backs on Him and live their lives without a thought of God.

5. R. Jesus took flesh, Jesus came to this earth and Jesus remains with us this day. He is as present as the day He walked on this earth in His Divinity and humanity in the Holy Eucharist. He is alive and present. He no longer walks this earth, but He is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. Out of greatest love He remains waiting and longing and thirsting for each one of us to come and to be with Him. I hear His words, His words of love constantly in the letters that I have written. I hear these words of love over and over and over again. In one letter how many times He professes His love and it is as if I am numb and do not hear, for when I truly read with my whole heart and realize that Jesus is saying this to me, I cry. This is the love that Jesus has for each one of us, that He came to this earth born a helpless little baby in the town of Bethlehem, Jesus gave His flesh and His blood so that we might have life and Jesus remains with us this day in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus Christ is waiting and longing and thirsting for us to come and to tell Him how much we love Him.

6. R. The words I hear, over and over, of His love is constant lamenting of love and how He wants our love in return, how He wants us to come to Him with hearts that are filled and on fire for love of Him. That our soul sings with the love of God, that as we read the Scriptures and as we pray our prayers, we pray so deeply in each prayer for we are praying to the God that we love. He wants us to love Him with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being.

7. R. And how personal He is with each one of us that the very hairs of our head are numbered, that as we drive about that He moves a truck from our path, that there are so many obstacles that He moves in our day and we do not realize the miracles that are occurring in our lives all through the day, for minute by minute, second by second as we breathe and as our heart beats, Jesus our beloved is there with His attentive care watching and guarding us and living in us.

8. R. Jesus when He was in the garden saw the murder of all the babies in this world this day. The massacre of the minds of children from the television and from other sources. Jesus saw all the sins for all time and in His Divine knowing, He knew all things. How His Heart was in such anguish, for He is love.

9. R. And He looked for someone to comfort Him and His Apostles slept and He said to them, “Can you not watch one hour with Me?” and He went back to pray and His anguish was so great that His sweat became as great drops of blood upon the ground. Think of that, to be in such anguish as to sweat blood, and He calls out from the tabernacle. I hear the lamenting constantly for His beloved souls, the souls that He came and gave His life for. He waits and waits in the tabernacle for His beloved souls to come and to spend one hour with Him. He said in a letter once, I give to you twenty-four hours a day. Can you not come and spend one hour with Me?

10. Jesus: I wait by the door of your heart. My dear ones, I wait by the door of your heart. I want to come and to be so close to each one of you. I guard you, each second of your life you are watched. You go through your life and you think that you are alone and I am watching you, constantly with you. My dear ones, why do you fear when I am so close to you?

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love . . .

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. Jesus: Will you stand by Me, My dear ones? Will you stand close by the pillar? Do you hear the blows? Do you see as they beat My body? My dear ones, it is in meditating on My passion that you will know more and more the immensity of My love for you.

2. R. I come by You O beloved Jesus, and I stand by Your pillar, I stand close and I am sick to my stomach as I see the hatred and the anger of the men that beat You, and I see Your blood as it flies into the air. I am sick, Jesus, to see Your flesh as it is torn before my eyes and to watch the hatred and the anger in the eyes of the men that beat You and their cursing and their fowl talk and I see You my beloved Jesus, You are so beautiful. I see Your hair. I see Your face. I see bruises on Your face from where they hit Your face and wounds on Your arms. Every part of Your body has been beaten my dear Jesus. My beloved, I scarce can stand and watch at what they have done to You. My Jesus, I know a little of Your love. As I stand and watch how can I not realize the immensity that You, Jesus Christ the Son of God came to this earth and stood there bound to the pillar ...God ...bound. Who could bind God? They bound You Jesus at the pillar and You could have at any moment stopped it all. You came and shed Your blood for me that I might live and be with You forever in heaven. My Jesus I see You, You are so beautiful. You have a human body like our body and it was beaten and scourged and Your flesh was torn and You withstoodthis for my sins.

3. R. I realize sometimes the immensity, the goodness, of the Almighty God. To tears, I realize how God is so good that He came to this earth and that He gave Himself for love of us and that He gives Himself to each one of us in the Eucharist, that God, the Almighty God, comes within us, comes inside of me. God, with His power and His might, comes in His Divinity and humanity as present as the dayHe was at the pillar and comes inside of me in the Eucharist.

4. R. So much to know about You my beloved Jesus, the more I come to You in silence before the tabernacle the more I come to You in silence where ever I am, if its in the car, if its any place, there is a time that there is a meeting of Our Hearts and You pour out to me Your wisdom to understand more about You, My Divine God. My beloved Jesus, who am I that through Baptism You allow me to share in Your Divine life, that You elevate our knowing and loving capacity in the Sacrament of Baptism. My beloved Jesus I see You, I see Your body so beautiful and so marred as they beat You at the pillar, and I thank You for coming to this earth and for giving Yourself for love of me and we are filled more and more with grace.

5. R. The sins of the flesh, we look to this world this day and we see all the sins and we know as we stand by Jesus at the pillar, all of the strokes that He suffered for all of the sins of this world and He ask us to help make reparation to His Most Sacred Heart, to come and spend time with Him alone, alone in the night, alone in front of the tabernacle, time alone with Him, to be close to Him, to share with Him our life for He longs and wants to be loved by us.

Jesus: I want hearts that are on fire for love of Me. Come to Me My beloved ones, come close. Drop all the walls around your heart and pray for grace to let go, to trust, to come and experience the love that I have to give you. Let go of your hurts and your hatred and your anger, for a heart that is filled with anger cannot unite with My Heart of love. You trade this anger, you trade your bitterness and your heart will be filled with My love. To unite with My Heart, your hearts must be pure. I call you to holiness My dear ones. I call you to a life that is vibrant with the life of the Almighty God alive within you. I want to give you more and more grace. You hold yourself at such a distance. You put up walls that block Our union and I am wanting such union with you. My dear ones, will you come and stand by the pillar? Will you see the blood as it flies in the air? Will you see My body that is marred and covered with wounds? These wounds are nothing compared to the wounds within My body, the hurt that I suffered to My Most Sacred Heart for the love that I have for each precious soul.

6. Jesus: I am rejected, forgotten, ignored, treated with indifference and hatred by this world of today, the world that is godless. Would you come to Me and make reparation to My Heart for all the souls that are so cold, that have turned their backs and walked away?

7. R. Think of the network of pain within the body of Jesus, the nerves shooting pain from all of the wounds, the wounds in His side, and think of the Heart surrounded with a crown of thorns for the indifference, neglect, and sacrileges committed against Jesus’ Heart, committed against Him in the sacrament of His greatest love, the Blessed Sacrament. The endless hours that He waits in the tabernacles of this world, God, if we truly realize that God is really present in the tabernacle how could we not come if we really realize? If you think that a movie star that would be on a street corner, we would be out there to see, to be close. We go and pack the concert houses and the Almighty God waits in the tabernacle many times alone, waiting and longing and He is God. He outpours His life, His abundant life to each one of us when we come to the Eucharist and sit in front of the tabernacle. We are filled more and more with His life in us. Saturate our being. Fill our soul. We want to share more and more in His life in us. We want to be so holy at Mass. Love every word of the Scriptures, it lives more and more in us. The great gift that He gives to us is this sharing in His life. We can never exhaust the infinity of His love, for to know Him is to know that there is always more deeper and deeper, deeper love, more love. To know Him a little is to want so much more.

8. R. Beaten, bloodied, and bruised, weakened that He scarce could walk. Jesus marks this earth with His bloodyfootprints as He comes from the pillar.

9. R. Dear Jesus mark our hearts with Your Divine love. Penetrate deeply our souls with Your presence at every moment that we realize this presence that we feel after communion, that we can feel this all through our day as we focus more and more on Your presence with us, for You are with us and long to be ever closer to us. If we surrender and let go and let down the walls, the walls that divide us from You, how can we not trust Jesus, for He stood at the pillar and was beaten for love of us?

10. Jesus: My dear ones, I will never forget you. I have carved you on the palm of My hand. I wait for you. I long for you. I am Jesus. I am present and with you in a special way this evening in this room My dear ones, giving to you graces to draw you closer to My Heart and My burning love for you. Let go and focus totally on the words that I am speaking to you in these messages. Let go and listen to My words of love, each word that I speak to you My dear ones. I am Jesus Christ, and I died for love of you.

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love . . .

 

The Crowning of Thorns

1. R. I see a body, my Jesus, a body, a human body and I see You with Your brown hair and Your beautiful eyes, as I did see another person that is next to me and feel their presence, and I see this body, the body of a man that sits on the mock throne and receives a crown of thorns pounded into Your most precious head, can You visualize clearly, Jesus, as I am close to this throne, and I see a man as the thorns are pounded into Your head and the blood rolls down the sides of Your face? Do I see this clearly Jesus? For the clearer I see more and more of Your passion, the more inside of myself I cry, for I realize the immensity of Your great love for me for You came to this earth and You took on a human body, and You truly were crowned with a crown of thorns and to this crown of thorns they pounded Your head and the blood came from Your mouth from the blows to the head, and I see before me Jesus, a man that did not fight back, a man that was the Almighty God that sat and took this treatment and accepted this because You knew it was the Father’s will. I see myself next to Jesus. I see so much, I see how Your eyes are still loving, not hard and angry, eyes that are still filled with love for You loved those who beat Your body and crowned You with thorns and You came to show us this way, that when they persecute us and hate us and looking at You as they beat Your body and pounded the thorns into Your head, You still loved those men.

2. Jesus: My dear ones I call you to love. I came to show you the way. My dear ones, satan is pressing down so hard in your minds, constant thoughts of your brothers and how they wronged you. My dear ones, when thoughts of division come into your mind, you must release those thoughts and focus on My love. Satan is running rampant in this world this day and working in the minds of many men. I am Jesus, My beloved. I am with you second by second, minute by minute. I am there in your heart. Feel this presence of the Almighty God and send the thoughts that are thoughts of division and hatred away. Let go. Let go of any thoughts that are destructive and cause division with members of your family and with your friends. Satan aims to trip you up. You must discipline your mind and come to My Heart.

3. Jesus: Do you hear this word love, My dear ones...love? Look as they crown Me with thorns. This is the love that I have for you. They spit on My face and mocked Me and I sat and did not answer. I suffered My dear ones so much persecution as you too are suffering in this world today, for this world has turned godless and turned their backs on God. You are the lights that I am sending into the darkened world and it is only with My love alive in your heart that the light will shine on the darkened souls.

4. R. The King of Kings, the Almighty God, and they wove for Him a crown of sharp, piercing thorns that they pounded into His skull.

5. Jesus: You are being pressed on with much mental torment that I am allowing to strengthen you, My dear ones, you must pray, you must spend time alone with Me. It is in these moments that you spend alone with Me that you will be refueled and you will be strong against the dark night.

6. R. What did You think Jesus as You sat there and they crowned You with thorns and they spit on You? What were Your thoughts Jesus? And Jesus said to me in church, “I thought of you, My beloved and how you would be sitting in this church this day and telling Me how you love Me and the sweetness of your love comforted the pain of My sufferings.”

7. Song: Crown Him With Many Crowns

8. Jesus: Go within your hearts and find a spot within your heart. Be alone with Me and so close to Me and know at every moment that you can go and find refuge in My Heart. I dwell in your graced baptized soul. I am present. You are not alone. Find comfort of going within and blocking out the distractions that hurt you and come to a place of refuge within My Heart. There is warmth and joy in this place within. My dear ones, I am the Almighty God. I dwell in your graced baptized soul. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit dwell within you in such a special way when you are in the state of grace. If the earth rocks and the sun ceases to shine, you will find refuge from the cold night in My most Sacred Heart. Minute by minute, second by second I am with you.

9. Song: Only This I Want

10. R. Release me O Jesus, from those things that hold me bound, and help me to be free to let go and experience Your presence deep within me, every moment to feel the presence of the Almighty God within me and to have this peace, this quiet peace although there may be suffering and there may be discomfort but to know Your presence in me that I can go to You, and it is in this suffering that I become closer and closer to You.

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love . . .

 

The Carrying of the Cross

1. R. Jesus walked but could hardly move with the cross on His back. Think of Jesus bent over with the heavy weight of the cross on His back and His crown of thorns on His head and the blood trickling down His face, some dried on, some fresh as He exerts Himself to move with the weight of the wood on His back, and you are by His side as He moves so slowly dragging the cross, hearing the thumping of the cross as He moves so slow but is so heavy, and by the side of Jesus, you look into His eyes and He looks into your eyes, and you make contact with the Almighty God who came to this earth and is suffering for us. He wants us to go to heaven. Look into His eyes. What do you see?

2. R. We look into His eyes as He falls under the weight of the cross. Look into His eyes with the cross on His back and His chin on the ground. This is the Almighty God. This is love.

3. Jesus: My dear ones, I would have suffered more for love of you. My greatest agonies were not the agonies that you see on the outside of My body, they were the agonies within, a network of pain shooting through the interior of My body and My Heart welled over with such pain, pain that you cannot understand, to love as only I can love and to be rejected and treated so coldly by those that I love.

4. R. And Jesus is in such a weakened condition. His arms are battered and the pain shooting up His arms, His legs weak, He barely can move and the cross is pressing down on Him, and it is such an exertion to move each foot as He walks, and we carry these little crosses and loads on our back, crosses that lead to greater life with Him and we complain and argue and fight. Look into the eyes of Jesus, humped over with the cross on His back. This is a cross to carry. Can we not carry the little crosses that He gives to us and realize that in each cross there is a resurrection and that it is in this cross that we grow more and more in our life with Him?

5. R. And I see the peering eyes of Jesus and Mary meet. From the time that Mary was told by Simeon that Jesus would suffer, she was so aware of the sufferings to come. Always before her eyes, she knew what would happen, and Jesus in His Divine knowing, knew of the sufferings to come, and the secret held in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, probably unspoken, both knowing of the sufferings to come, both watching the other for thirty-three years, and knowing in Their Hearts what sufferings were about to come. As Their eyes met on the way to Calvary, in that meeting, Jesus and Mary saw the summation of Their lives, Mary knew when Jesus was inside of her. Mary watched Him as a child and stood by Him all through His life. Mary knew since the time of the prophesy of Simeon that this day would come when there would be such sufferings. Mary’s eyes met the eyes of her beloved Son and as she looks into His eyes she saw His face drawn, covered with blood, crowned with thorns. Jesus’ back humped over with the cross on His back. Mary saw the same child that she once carried in her womb. Jesus looked into her eyes. He saw the Mother that cared for Him. Jesus saw the Mother He loved. Jesus saw her suffering in that meeting of the eyes, the intensity of the love between Them but the bitter sorrow of seeing the other suffer. We see this intimacy between Jesus and Mary, all through the rosary. We see this intimacy in Their lives, from birth as she carried Him in her womb, the two, the Two Hearts beating in one body. We see the intimacy of a mother holding her child. Jesus comes to this earth in the womb of Mary, held in the arms of Mary, always with Mary, in each mystery of the rosary. The meeting of the eyes is climactic, for we see a summation of thirty-three years of Two Hearts beating deeply in love with one another and experiencing this.

6. R. We cannot even imagine a minute amount of the sufferings within the heart of the Virgin Mary. To cry or to scream, how could she express the hurt within her, to know and love her Son as she did and then to go through this. Mary comes to tell us of His love. Mary asks us to see through her eyes, her beloved Son. Look into His eyes as she looked into His eyes and see His suffering face, for this is truly the love that Jesus has for us. Jesus carried His cross and gave His life for us.

7. R. Jesus, I want to live likened to You, to be following You and to model my life after Mary. I carry the little crosses that You allow me to carry, to realize the immense love that You have for me. Thank You for all the great gifts that You give us even in our suffering, to realize that in suffering we can have greater life in You. We can grow in closeness to You, help me to have before my eyes, Your eyes, as I look into them as Mary looked into Your eyes, on the way to Calvary and see Your eyes under the crown of thorns. See the perspiration and blood as it rolls down Your face, and see in those eyes the gentleness and love of the Almighty God. In all my suffering and trials to know that these eyes are the eyes that are looking at me at this moment and guarding my every step, my every breath, my every heartbeat and loving me with the same love as the day You carried Your cross on Your back.

8. Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary

R. See through the eyes of Mary the love of her beloved Son. Go to her heart. Find refuge in the heart of the Virgin Mary. As we rest and dwell in her heart and she dwells in the Heart of her Son, in such depth to His Heart, for He came into this world in the womb of Mary. Mary held Jesus in her arms and as He died on the cross, Mary stood beneath the cross so connected to her beloved Son, and Mary held His lifeless body in her arms under the cross.

It is through Mary’s heart we have this intimacy with Jesus. If I see Jesus carrying His cross, I see suffering, but if I see Jesus carrying His cross and see Him with His Mother, looking into her eyes, I feel such depth and warmth in my heart. If I see Him hanging on the cross by Himself, I see His suffering, but if I see His Mother under the cross, there is such dimension to that picture, when Mary was with Jesus. When we meditate on the rosary, let us see the connection in the mysteries between the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and every picture that we picture let us see Mary there. We can see Mary and Jesus in so many mysteries of the rosary together.

April 5, 2001

9. R. And Veronica wiped the face of Jesus and on her cloth was the imprint of His beautiful face, may that imprint be printed deeply in our minds constantly before us, that every moment that we breathe, we have the imprint of the loving face of Jesus and His loving eyes looking at us as He looked at His Mother under the cross on the way to Calvary.

10. Hail Mary

Song between decades: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

 

The Crucifixion

1. R. Think of the pain as it was shooting up the arms of Jesus. Think of this, all of the sufferings that He went through to His most precious arms, the wounds, the gashes, the strains of His arms from carrying the cross and being forced to carry the cross. Jesus could not take a rest. He was jabbed and poked and forced. Think of your arm when you are strained and you can’t hardly do it any longer. He did not have a choice. He was forced to continue and all the pains in His arms that He had experienced to the nerves inside and then the blow to the palm of the hand, a pounding in of the nail that severed the nerves in His hand. As they crowned His head with thorns, they crowned each arm with a gigantic nail that went through His entire hand.

Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

2. R. Focus on the human body of Jesus with all of these wounds and gashes and the nails being pounded into His hand, and His Mother stood beneath the cross and watched this slaughter of the same baby that she once carried in her womb, of the little hands that she washed and cared for. What of the heart of Mary, to watch this slaughter of her beloved child.

3. R. And I hear the cries of Mary from under the cross, her arms pleading upward as her Son hung on the cross, and I hear these cries, but in her heart the sorrow of watching her Son. Knowing from the time of Simeon that He would suffer and she held this and pondered this in her heart for thirty-three years and now the culmination of carrying this prophesy. Her Son Jesus hung to His death on the cross. Of the heart of Mary, besides all this suffering He gives to Mary all the children of this world, and she knows how many souls will reject the great graces that He won for us. Some souls will be condemned to hell despite His suffering because of their mortal sins. The heart of Mary, filled with such suffering, suffering to watch her Son, her child suffering, to see the children that will go to hell despite His death. This is why Mary has come for one year. We have come and prayed the rosary every day and I hear at the finding in the temple Mary call out and call out PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! Pray for my lost children. Many will go to hell for their sinfulness and their evil ways, and she begs us with our whole hearts and our whole beings to PRAY, PRAY, PRAY. What of the heart of Mary, the heart that stood under the cross and witnessed the slaughter of her own precious child, but the heart of Mary that loves each child in this world with the most personal love. Her little children, each one so special and she calls to us to come and to pray, to pray this rosary for her little children, for souls will be lost and condemned to the fires of hell for their willfulness and their sinfulness.

Mary: I am Mary your Mother and I have come for one year and pleaded to all to pray this rosary. I appear here and ask you my children, to come and pray this rosary for my little ones that will be lost. These rosaries are rosaries that I have given to you, rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, my Christmas gift to this world. I ask you my dear ones, to join in praying this rosary, for the life of myself and my Son will grow in your life and you will be a light that shines into this world as the life of the Almighty God grows within your heart. You will be a light in the darkest night.

4. Song: Ave Maria

5. R. Hail Mary full of grace, we see you as you stand beneath the cross. We see you with your heart of love, your heart most pure, and we ask you Mary, to let us dwell in your heart. We ask the Holy Spirit to form us to be more like Jesus, to be this light that shines in the darkened world and to carry the fire of God’s love to the world that is hurting and in pain, for we want to be your children of light. As you appear to us here as our Lady of Light, we respond as your children and ask you Mary to transform us more and more into the image of your Son through the power of the Holy Spirit so that we will be children of light and will shine as beckon lights to a darkened world.

6. Song: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus the light of the world.
    Jesus, the light of the world.

Praise Him, praise Him, Jesus the light of the world,
    Praise Him, praise Him, Jesus the light of the world.

Worship Him, worship Him, Jesus the light of the world.
    Worship Him, worship Him, Jesus the light of the world.

King of kings, King of kings, Jesus the light of the world.
    King of kings, Kings of kings, Jesus the light of the world.

R. And He came into this world a helpless baby and His throne was not a throne of gold and silver, but He came in a little cave in Bethlehem and He was laid in a manger, a manger of bare wood, and He went out of this world on a throne, but His throne was not a throne of mighty kings. It was a cross, a cross of bare wood and Jesus Christ the Son of God shed the last drop of blood and gave the last beat of His Heart to proclaim to this world the great message of His love, and He comes to us this day and He tells us how He loves us over and over and over again. Give us the grace that we need to realize more and more the immensity of Your love and help us to be filled more and more with grace. In You may we be united closer and closer to Your burning Heart, on fire for love of us, Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ, You are the Son of God.

7. R. And He gives to us Himself, as He gave Himself on the cross, He gives to us Himself in His Divinity and humanity in the Holy Eucharist, and He cries out, tell them Rita tell them.

Jesus: The same as I carried My cross on My back, I am present in the Eucharist and they run from My altar. Tell them to stay with Me at least 20 minutes, to stay. These are the most precious moments of your life, when you receive the Son of God within you in the Eucharist. I am Jesus and I love you. I love you. I love you, and I give Myself to you, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, My cherished ones. I give you Myself and I await your love, for I long to hear the words from your lips and the cry from your heart that you love Me. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.

8. R. And they laid Jesus in the arms of His Mother. He came into this world in her womb and carried in her arms in the temple and Simeon prophesied the sufferings to come and we see Mary holds Jesus in her arms under the cross, now His body lifeless, covered with blood, wounded, bruised, and dead, the final separation.
