Sorrowful Mysteries

The Agony in the Garden

1. R. See our Beloved Savior in the Garden. Be with Him in the darkened night. The agonies that were His greatest agonies were those to His most Sacred Heart.

2. R. Jesus saw before Him all the sins of all men for all time.

3.  R. Jesus' Heart was overwhelmed with love for each soul for all time.

4 . R. Jesus saw all the suffering that He would experience.

5.   R. With full knowledge of everything that He would experience through the Passion all the way to His brutal death on the cross, He allowed this to happen to Him because He loved us so much.

6.   R. We give so little to one another and we count the cost. Jesus truly gave His life, He gave His flesh, He gave His blood, He gave His all, and He gave it because it was the Father's Will and because He loves each one of us so much that He would do it for us this very day.

7.   R. Think of how it is to love someone so much and to be treated with coldness and rejection. Jesus is Love, and He saw before Him each and every precious soul that He loved. And He knew all the souls that would neglect Him to their own destruction; that they would be condemned forever to everlasting damnation.

8. R. To say that His Heart is a burning furnace of endless love is not to even say sufficiently the love that He has for us. We cannot even imagine anything of the true love that He has.

9. R. Jesus suffered so much agony in the Garden that His sweat became as great drops of blood on the ground.

10. Jesus: I love you, I love you, I love you.

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. R. Jesus loved Judas so dearly and Judas betrayed Him with a kiss.

2. R. They led Jesus away. They pulled His hair, and they hit our Precious Jesus on His face.

3. ^R.They tied Jesus so cruelly to a pillar.

4. R. And they whipped Jesus. His once unblemished back was now covered with deep wounds. They had whipped Him to their own exhaustion.

5. R. See the darkened room and hear the sounds as they hit Jesus so hard.

6. ^R.With full knowledge of everything that Jesus would suffer, Jesus withstood all of this treatment because He loved us so much.

7. ^R.Jesus withstood these blows for each and every soul. He withstood these blows to His most precious body for love of me and for love of you and for love of all our brothers. He stood as they tore His flesh because He loved each and every soul with a personal love.

8. R. How can I not love my brother when I realize that my brother was created by God the Father with the greatest love, with the greatest uniqueness; that God the Father created my brother with a special plan; and that Jesus stood at the pillar and allowed them to tear His flesh because He loved my brother.

9. R. Jesus is Love. He took on a human nature so that He could show us the way; so that we could look at His life and meditate on these mysteries of the rosary, all fifteen mysteries, and see how Jesus lived so we can more and more imitate the lives of Jesus and His most Beloved Mother.

10. R. When they hit Jesus and they persecuted Him and they scourged Him at the pillar, He loved those who treated Him this way.

Jesus is Crowned With Thorns

1.  R. They pounded into Jesus' most Precious Head a piercing crown of thorns. See the blood as it rolls down Jesus' face. He loved us so much that Jesus withstood all of this treatment. Jesus shed His Most Precious Blood that we could be saved.

2. R. Think of how it is when you see someone bleed, someone you love so dearly. Jesus truly shed His blood, bright red blood, for love of each one of us.

3. R. And Jesus asks us for two things: to love Him and to love one another.

4. R. How much do I love Jesus? When He asks me in my heart to tell others of His love, how will this hurting world know of the love of God if I do not stand up for the love of God.

5.  R. How many times does Jesus call us to show love to those who are not very nice to us. Following Him a lot of times is doing the hardest thing that we do not want to do. But He showed us the way. They pounded the thorns so harshly into His head. They spit on Him, they hit Him, they mocked Him; and Jesus sat, God, the Son of Man, and withstood all this treatment because He loves each one of us so much. This is the love that He came to show us. He is Love. He asks us to love as He showed us the way.

6. R. Jesus wants such union with us. He longs for us to come and to sit with Him in front of the Tabernacle. But I cannot unite with Him unless I come with a pure heart. I must rid myself of hate and anger. To unite with love, I must love.

7.  R. Jesus' greatest agonies were the agonies that He suffered to His most Precious Heart because He loved those so dearly who spit on Him, who pounded the thorns into His head. He loved those who hollered slanders at Him. He loved as He loves each soul this day with His most Sacred Precious Heart.

Jesus Carries His Cross

1. R. Jesus stood with His hands tied and they poked at Him, With their mean and ugly faces, they hollered and they condemned our Precious Jesus to death - death on a cross.

2. R. They put a heavy cross on His shoulder and He walked with the weight of this heavy cross and it felt as if His shoulder would break through to the ground.

3.  R. There is suffering in love. Jesus comes with His most Sacred Heart ablaze and on fire for love of us. Mary is His Loving Mother. She stands by His side. The baby that she once held in her arms, now she sees Him as He walks on Calvary covered with blood.

4.  R. Mary, His Loving Mother, could not help Him. Mary stood by with her heart torn in her chest and watched Her Beloved Son as He struggled with the cross laden with the sins of the world. She stood by with her heart pierced with a sword.

5. R. And Their eyes peered into each other's. The oneness between this Son and His Mother. The Hearts that were overwhelmed with love: His most Sacred Heart as He went through this Passion was so full of love for each one of us, and her heart suffering so much agony.

6.  R. Whenever there is love, there is suffering. His Heart was pierced with a lance, her heart was pierced with a sword.

7.  Song:  See the Eyes that Look at Mary

8.  ^R.  See through Mary's eyes all the suffering her Beloved Son endured for love of us. And she comes this day and she asks you to turn your hearts to hearts that are pure hearts that are full of love; to answer His call to love for Him to this world. To not say no. To think first of the most ardent love of His most Sacred Heart and the love of her Immaculate Heart. To think of Him as He hung on the cross out of love. This is the love that He had for us and He asks us to take a stand today. A stand in this cold world that is hurting, and to show the love as He showed us the way.

9. Mary: When they persecute you stand up for the love of My Beloved Son. He loved you so that He hung on the cross for three agonizing hours and gave His most Precious Blood and His flesh for you. My Son wants you in this world to carry the cross, to love those who are hurting, to stand up for the love of God.

10. Song: ^{Lord Let
Me Walk this Lonesome road with you!!}

Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross

1. R. If you see through the eyes of Mary as she watched Her Son, watched His hands nailed to the cross; if you see through the eyes of Mary as Her Son was raised high on the cross. How can we say no to little things like showing His love and standing up for what we know He wants us to stand up for today.

2. R. Mary calls us here. Mary calls us here today to be the soldiers to spread the love of His Most Sacred Heart and her Immaculate Heart. These are the Two Hearts brimming over with greatest love to the point that Mary suffered by Jesus' side and He hung on the cross to His death. This is love that He gave for each one of us and He calls us to love this day no matter how hard it may seem. If we look at Him as He hung on the cross, how can we deny Him this request to love those who are hurting?

3. R. Dear Holy Spirit, through Mary our Mother, transform our hearts more and more into the image of Jesus and lead us ever closer to the love of our Beloved Father.

4. R. Holy Spirit, transform us from fear to fearlessness as you did with the Apostles so that we have the courage to stand out and spread this love of God in this world in which many are godless. Mary is calling us this day to pray to the Holy Spirit to have the courage to spread the love of God, to be the apostles of the Most Sacred Heart; and she is forever by our side. She says to see through her eyes the love that Jesus Christ has for you. Life is so short. I call you this day to pray for courage, to be an apostle, to spread the love of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus to a hurting world.

5. R. Jesus hung for three agonizing hours on the cross and His Beloved Mother stood beneath the cross, her heart torn within her chest. The child that she once held and now she stands under His cross and watches Him as He dies.

6. R. It is through the love of these Two Hearts that we are filled up with love to love this hurting world.

7. R. As Mary held the child Jesus in her arms, she now holds the lifeless body of Her Beloved Son. But death has no power over Jesus for on the third day He rose from the dead to bring us life that we may have life eternal.

8.  R. Mary asks you to answer her call that when it is hard to love those who are persecuting you, to see beyond their anger and their hatred and to see the child that God the Father created with such love; to see the person that is hurting and needs the love of God. You are His soldiers to spread the love of His Heart. If you do not touch those who are in pain, they will not receive His love this day, for He places you ever closer to these people to give His love to them for Him.

9. Jesus: As I died on the cross for you, I ask you to give of yourself this day in this world to love your brothers. Your brothers are those I died for. Can you say no? See Me hanging on the cross for love of you and each soul.

Prayer Manuals —

                    praying for the priests, the
                    Church and the world —
                    have helped families as they
                    pray them before the statue
                    of Our Lady of Fatima and
                    the crucifix

                Individuals have been healed of
                    physical ailments from
                    praying deeply for the
                    priests, the Church and the
                    world —

Prayer is the lifting up of our minds
and hearts to God —

In today's scripture —

Numbers 21: 4-9

They left Mount Hor by the road to the Sea of Suph, to skirt round Edom. On the way the people lost patience. They spoke against God and against Moses, ‘Why did you bring us out of Egypt to die in the desert? For there is neither food nor water here; we are sick of this meagre diet.’

At this, God sent fiery serpents among the people; their bite brought death to many in Israel. The people came and said to Moses, ‘We have sinned by speaking against Yahweh and against you. Intercede for us with Yahweh to save us from these serpents.’ Moses interceded for the people, and Yahweh replied, ‘Make a fiery serpent and raise it as a standard. Anyone who is bitten and looks at it will survive.’ Moses then made a serpent out of bronze and raised it as a standard, and anyone who was bitten by a serpent and looked at the bronze serpent survived.

We see how they grumbled in the
desert —

Today we are so richly blessed with
the Church and the priest.

                Think of all the priests and saints
                    who went before us — sacrificing
                    to bring us this great gift we
                    know —

Think of the gift of the Commandments
to live by

And the gift of the Word of God —

                Think of the gift of the Holy Eucharist —
                Jesus is truly present in His Divinity
                    and humanity — no less present
                    than when He walked the earth —

                Man through history disobeys and God
                    sends prophets to tell them to
                    obey God and to tell them about
                    the love of God —

                Jesus gave us the message of the cross —
                    He loved us so much —
                    He did the Father's will —

From His pierced side the Church
was born —

                It is a battle between doing God's
                    will and giving into our wounded
                    human nature.

A dog that has been hit by a car and bleeding
in the street is hurting —

                They will attack if they can anyone
                    who comes to look at their
                    wounds — they will want to
                    bite them —
                    but they are wounded and bleeding,
                    you say

                    And Jesus knows we are wounded
                        and to those people who deny the
                        wounded human nature they
                        have and strike others and
                        fight others because they
                        are hurting — they are blocking
                        their healing and helping
                        others to know and love
                        God —
                    hurting people can be like the dog —
                    ready to fight —
                    self-focused —
                    wanting to be validated for their
                        hurts are wounds —

                Christ was beaten for our sins
                Christ's Head was crowned with thorns
                Christ's side was pierced with a lance
                    and what came forth was
                    blood and water —
                    the sacramental LIFE of the
                    Church —

                Being blind and letting the
                    world be our teacher can bring
                    us to a bad end

                A person can be bitter
                                        selfish
                                        isolated
                                        and hurt and

                    they won't open up to even
                    let God's Word and commandments
                    penetrate their soul.

                If a heart is hardened — they look
                    outside to explain their
                    misery inside — hurting innocent
                    others, many times, as they were hurt.

                The devil can work through this blindness
                    and pride of a hurt individual
                    to block the work of healing
                    and loving others.

The first commandment tells us

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

The greatest commandment says

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.'

                Being wrapped in self-pity and
                    hurting others because we
                    were hurt is acting against
                    the 1st commandment and
                    greatest commandment —

A commandment — is a commandment
of God

                Because we were hurt deeply in a
                    relationship — we can not justify
                    our actions for years of striking
                    out in argumentation of others
                    and being ready to fight —

                The most perfect community is the
                    Trinity —
                    God the Father, God the Son and
                        God the Holy Spirit are
                        3 persons and one God —

                The love of the Persons of the
                    Trinity is perfect and
                    the 3 Persons are one —

                From the beginning the writings I
                    have written have focused on
                    relationships — oneness —
                    love —

God is love

To not be loving is to not be like God.

We were created in the image and
likeness of God —

We are called, as Fr. Carter says,
to walk hand-in-hand —

                Adam and Eve sinned and we have a
                    wounded human nature —
                    We act taintedly —
                    We have a strong tendency toward
                        pride, anger, greed, envy, lust, gluttony, sloth

Mary is sinless

Jesus is God.

                In spreading devotion of the 2 Hearts
                    we are telling all about
                    purity and love —

                We are spreading the love of the 2
                    Hearts —
                    telling all about the unity of
                    the Persons of the Trinity —

                For all eternity we will live in
                    the beatific vision if
                    we go to heaven —

                Purgatory is to prepare us to be
                    able to go to heaven —
                    to purge off what needs
                    to be purged

                To hurt innocent others is sinful
                    because we were hurt —
                    this is our life here to grow
                    to be more perfected as our
                    heavenly Father is perfect —

                To get in co-dependent (Fr. Carter called
                    it "slavishly-dependent") relationships
                    is hurting others —

                Where we could be empowered recognizing
                    our gifts —
                    We do not see the great gifts God
                        has given

And we grumble like they did
in the desert —

                    We have a garden — full of gifts
                        from God — we have the
                        Church and the priest

We have the sacraments

We have the fountain of His life
poured out to us

                Our mission in the Shepherds of Christ is to help
                    strengthen the body of Christ and
                    the souls of this earth —
                    by building a community, a
                    family of love —
                    spreading this Priestly Newsletter
                    to our priests and
                    beginning Prayer Chapters all over
                    the world praying
                    deeply for the priests, the Church
                    and the world.

                We were entrusted with the image
                    of Our Lady of Clearwater and
                    Jesus' face in Clearwater, Florida.

                This is to tell the world about the
                    love of Jesus and Mary and
                    healing is found in these 2
                    Hearts and devotion to these
                    2 Pure and Holy Hearts of love —

Love is our mission

Oneness

Mary is the Queen of Peace —

                In a troubled world we lead souls
                    to these prayers to spread
                    peace and love praying for
                    the priests, the Church and
                    the world —

                Purity in our soul as we are
                    truthful and take responsibility
                    for our actions —

                Our hearts are empty —
                    ready to be filled with
                    love to
                    love God and
                    love others —

                We are not clogged vessels —
                    Ready to fire
                    Ready to argue

                Because we have a hardened heart —
                    full of pain we lie
                    about ant
                    have no where to go inside
                    us —
                    so we keep hurting others
                    outside ourselves — addictive
                    relationships — addictive
                    drinks etc. to deal with
                    the pain inside.

                A vessel filled with God's love —
                    lives in truth
                    is saturated with His grace and
                Is filled with joy ———

                This saturation with His
                    grace makes us more
                    deeply one

                Because I am one in Him
                You are one in Him —
                both of us filled with His
                grace WE ARE More
                DEEPLY ONE
                IN HIM ——

                We are more pure
                    doing God's will
                    when we dwell in the
                    Hearts of Jesus and Mary

                Doing God's will
                Living a pure life
                Living in Truth

                Is the prescription for happiness,
                    oneness, joy — unity as
                    a community, a family —

Pray the rosary

Praying the Shepherds of Christ prayers are
so powerful

July 31, 1994

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

We can attest to the power
of these prayers

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

                Look at Jesus pointing to
                    His Heart — it is on
                    fire —
                    not a hard heart —
                    filled with pain

We are here to love —

                We are commissioned in
                    baptism to go out and
                    spread the Good News —

We are chosen —

                A person caught in a wounded
                    situation needs grace to see —
                    they may think everybody
                    is like them —

                That is why relationships help us grow
                    out of selfish patterns if
                    we are open and pray
                    for grace.
