Sorrowful Mysteries
Monday - Season of Lent
Mary of the Woods Nursing Home
   

The Agony in the Garden

1. R. Be with Jesus in the Garden. See Him as He kneels there. See Him in such agony. Put yourself right there in the dark night and focus on Jesus. Block out the other thoughts that are in your mind now, things from your life, distractions. This is the time to be alone with Jesus and to meditate on His Passion. It is in meditating on His Passion that we realize more and more the immensity of the great love that He has for each one of us.

2. R. Jesus knelt there and He saw before Him all the sins of all men from all time. He saw all their evilness, their vileness. These are the souls that He loved so dearly and He saw all of this before His eyes.

3. R. Think of His Heart so full of love for each and every soul. He saw before Him His bitter Passion, all the spitting, the crowning of thorns, the scourging at the pillar. He saw all the events that He was about to undergo.

4. R. His Heart is an endless source of Divine Love. He was born a little baby in the town of Bethlehem out of greatest love for each one of us. The Father sent His only Son into the world and now Jesus kneels in the Garden, His Heart overflowing with love for each of His precious souls.

5. R. Jesus is the Almighty God. At any moment He could have stopped everything that was about to happen, but in compliance to the Father's will, always doing the Father's will, Jesus said: "Not My will, but Thine be done".

6. Song: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.

7. R. Jesus is here this day. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity, no less present than the day He was in the Garden. He remains with us with a Heart that is overflowing with Divine Love for each and every one of us, His beloved souls.

8. R. Jesus' greatest agonies were not the agonies, the wounds, that He experienced to His body, but His greatest agonies were the wounds He suffered to His Most Sacred Heart for He loves us with the deepest love.

9. R. Jesus saw before Him all the souls that would be condemned to eternal damnation despite all of His suffering.

10. R. Jesus calls out to us to live in the Father's will, to do as the Father wants us to do. Only in doing the Father's will, will we find happiness and joy. The Father created each one of us uniquely special out of His love for us.

To His death on the cross, Jesus complied always to the Father's will, a look of peace on Jesus' face through all His suffering; total peace because He knew the Father's love. Oh how the Father loves each one of us. There is not another person that He created like us. The Father has such a special plan for each one of us and He loves us with the greatest love.

(Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.)

  

Jesus is Scourged at the Pillar

1. Jesus: I watch you, My precious ones. I watch you as you go about your day. You do not realize how close I am to you. In all of your sufferings I am there so close. It is in your sufferings that you will be brought to fuller life in Me. Oh, how I love you, My precious ones and how I watch you so closely. Minute by minute, second by second, I am with you, watching you, My beloved ones!

2. R. They led Jesus away. They pulled His hair and slapped His face and they tied Him so cruelly to a pillar.

3. R. See Jesus as He stands in a dim light tied to the pillar. Focus totally on Him. They come at Him with their angry faces and hatred in their hearts and they beat Him unmercifully, from His head to His feet. His once unblemished body is now wounded by their sharp instruments and He stands and He takes all of this for the souls that He loves so dearly. He came to show us how to love. His way is always love. He loved those who persecuted Him and beat Him. How He loves each one of us, His precious souls. He longs and thirsts to be ever closer, to be close in a love relationship with us. This is God who longs and waits for us, Who gives Himself to us this day in Holy Eucharist. Who are we that God gives Himself to us? Who are we that He waits in the tabernacles in the world, longing and thirsting for us to come and share our time with Him? This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who stood at the pillar and was unmercifully beaten for His great love that He has for each one of us.

4. R. Hear the blows! Listen! Focus on Jesus at the pillar and hear the blows! Jesus did not call out and scream. Jesus took willingly all His suffering because He knew it was the Father's will and He loves us so much. Listen! Do you hear the blows they gave to Jesus? They are the sign of His love for us.

5. R. Hear the blows, the blows that were given to Jesus. When we look at our brothers, those who sometimes make us angry, when we look at them, see Jesus at the pillar and hear the blows that He received because He loves our brothers so much. See the creation of the Father. How can we hate our brothers when God the Father created our brothers and Jesus came and gave His life for them?

6. R. Jesus wants such union with each one of us. Surrender! Surrender. Let go of hate or anger that is inside of your hearts. So Jesus can unite ever closer to you in deepest love. In order to have this union with Jesus, He asks us to clear the debris from our hearts. Love can not unite with hatred and anger. An exchange of giving up anger that we have toward our brothers, hatred from the past, for the love that Jesus wants to give to us, that vibrancy and oneness He wants with each and every soul. Jesus longs and thirsts for you to come and spend time with Him after communion in front of the tabernacle. This is God and He thirsts and longs and waits and wants to be so close to us! His Most Sacred Heart is bursting over on fire for love of each and every precious soul.

7. R. Jesus went to His apostles in the Garden and said to them: "Can you not watch one hour with Me"? He comes to us this day and He says "I give you twenty-four hours in the day, can you not spend one hour in silence with Me?" Do you not have time in your busy lives for the Son of God? Yet minute by minute, second by second, we know God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in the graced baptized soul. Jesus says "I am present in your graced baptized soul in a special way." Jesus longs to be closely united to you. Jesus says "minute by minute, second by second in the silence of your heart: I love you, I love you, I love you. But you do not hear. You do not take the time to be alone with Me." Minute by minute, second by second, God is inside of you saying: I love you, I love you, I love you. Hear the soft gentle voice as I whisper in your heart.

8. R. See Jesus as He stands at the pillar with gashes in His arms, big wounds in His back, the blood that comes forth, red blood. He shed His red blood for us. His red blood is the key to understanding the fire of His love that He has for each one of us.

9. R. Open wide your heart! God wants to be so close to you!

10. Song: I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.

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

    

Jesus is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

1. R. See Jesus! They put on His head a sharp crown of piercing thorns that they pound into His head. The thorns pierce His head and the blood runs down His face, into His eyes and into His ears. They hit Him on the head. So harshly do they hit Him on His head that the blood ran from the corners of His mouth. Look at His face. Picture it so vividly in your hearts for this is the face of Jesus Christ Who was born in the town of Bethlehem. God, a little baby, suffered because He loved us so much. He withstood all the torture that they gave to Him because of His immense love for each one of us. Keep that picture of His head tucked so closely in your heart. When you feel that no one loves you, hear the soft gentle voice inside of your heart saying, minute by minute, second by second: I love you, I love you, I love you.

2. R. Jesus' whole body was covered with deep wounds from the scourging at the pillar, bleeding and burning. Then they put a dirty purple robe on His back and gave Him a scepter to hold and sat Him on a throne and mocked Him as King and spit on Him. Jesus is the King of all Kings! He is truly the Son of God and He withstood this persecution and torture. When they persecute you this day, when they say terrible things to you, see Jesus and the suffering He went through. Jesus Who is all good and all loving, was treated this way!

3. Song: Crown Him with Many Crowns

4. Song: Only This I Want

5. R. Jesus was beaten! He was poked at! His flesh was torn! Now they spit on Him and holler at Him and He suffered all of this because of the love that He has for each one of us. He asks us this day for two things: to love God and to love one another. He came to show us the way. See Him as He sits on the throne, His head covered with blood from His bleeding crown, His body so badly wounded. See Him as they jeer at Him and laugh at Him. He asks us to love those who talk cruelly to us. It is in loving those, that He can touch the hardened hearts through us. His way is always love. Our reward is to unite with His Most Sacred Burning Heart. Always love! A heart of love unites with love. Trade the debris and unforgiveness, whatever is in our heart, for Divine Love.

6. R. We take the great gift that we are given so lightly. Jesus is here this day in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity, no less present than the day He walked on the earth. Jesus remains with us in the Eucharist and wants to be so close to us. Jesus waits for us in the tabernacle, waits for us to come in our busy lives. Jesus, the Son of God, waits on us!

7. R. Jesus wants us holy. Jesus knows our imperfections. Jesus wants us to clean the debris within our hearts so that we are His instruments to go out into this world and spread His love to our brothers. Jesus gave His life for them. He calls each one of us this day to be an apostle of His Most Sacred Heart, to spread the love of His Heart and His Mother's heart into this world. How can we say no when He gave His life for us?

8. R. Mary appears and shows her sorrowful face, her joyful face, her old face, her young face. The face that Jesus looked at. Mary says to look through her eyes at her beloved Son all through the Passion. Study His face! Study His face crowned with thorns and covered with blood and His body wounded from His head to the bottom of His feet. Study those wounds. Ponder His blood shed for love of us. It is in this study that we will be drawn ever closer to His tender love in His Heart. His love is not a little lip service love, His love is the love that He came to this earth and gave His flesh and blood for us. Jesus wants us to love the Scriptures.

9. R. Jesus gives us the Church and the priests. We are His favored children. He gives to us abundantly. When the priest holds up the consecrated host, this is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, no less present than the day He was crowned with thorns. Who are we that we are so favored and given such gifts? We take them so lightly. He calls out, "My beloved ones. You are blind! You have closed your eyes and plugged up your ears! I am in your midst this day! You run after senseless things when I, God, am so close to you. Your soul craves this love."

10. R. We walk senseless paths. We do not even realize that in a second, in the batting of an eye, the dropping of a pin, our life can end. What goes with us is our love of God and love of one another! Jesus came to show us the way. "Study My life", He says, "and the life of My Mother. Pray to the Holy Spirit to transform you more and more into My image and to be led closer to the Father Who loves you so dearly. My children, My children, you do not see the great gifts that I impart to you this day. I am with you and I am present and on fire for love of you. Pray to the Holy Spirit to remove the blinders from your eyes. Pray, children. Pray to receive more and more abundant grace to know the love of God. My life I want to give to you. My Divine Love I want to impart to you. My beloved children, I gave My life to you. You do not comprehend the great gifts that I want to give to you this day. Pray for grace. Pray, more and more to be filled with My life. I ardently bestow on you such grace in the Mass and in the Eucharist and when you come and sit in front of the Tabernacle. Come to the Eucharist! I am truly there! Truly present and waiting for you, My beloved ones!"

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

  

Jesus Carries His Cross Up Calvary

1. R. Focus on Jesus! Just you and Jesus! Be alone with Him! Focus on the immense love that He has for you! Then see Him as He stands with His hands tied and the men with their angry faces and hatred in their hearts, poke at Him and condemn Him to death!

2. R. They gave to Him a heavy cross that they put on His shoulder. So heavy that it felt as if His shoulder would break through to the ground. He could not remove it. As He tried to walk, it became heavier and heavier. He could scarcely move. It was so heavy that He fell under it!

3. R. See His Mother! She carried Him in her womb as an infant. She watched Him at play. Simeon told her of the sufferings that she and Jesus would suffer. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary. She watched Him all through His life. Now Her heart, the heart of His most loving Mother, watched Him as He fell under the cross and she could not lift a hand to help her Son. Think of how it is when you see your own child suffer, how your heart is torn in your chest. Now see through the eyes of Mary as she watches her beloved Son fall under the weight of the cross.

4. R. And Their eyes peered into one another's. How her heart knew the Heart of Jesus. She shared all of His life with Him. He looked at her and saw her reddened face with tears and saw her suffering. There is such intimacy between Jesus and Mary, the Two Hearts that are so full of love for each one of us. In that peering look is this oneness between these Two Hearts, the Hearts that love us so much.

5. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

6. R. Mary appeared to me. I saw her most sorrowful face. See through her eyes as she looks at her beloved Son on the way to Calvary. See through her eyes. Helplessly, she stands by. She could hardly stand up, so weakened by what she had encountered. She sees her Son, but what she wants us to see through her eyes is the love that He has for each one of us. Put yourself in Mary's heart. Look out through her eyes and see Jesus' face covered with blood, the crown of thorns on His head and the cross on His back. He fell three times. Jesus could barely get up as they poke at Him, kick Him and holler at Him. She watched this. Helplessly, she could not lift a hand. See through her eyes, for it is through her eyes that we will realize more and more His immense love. Mary calls today and begs us to spread this love throughout the world. We have the greatest product in the world to sell: the love of God! She pleads strongly with each person here to pray to the Holy Spirit. Pray for the fearlessness that the apostles received when the Holy Spirit descended upon them, for Jesus is calling each person here to go out into the world and be His apostle and spread the love of His Most Sacred Heart. Souls will be lost because they did not know His love. It is up to us to become one in Him, to busy ourselves about our union with Him so that He can operate through us to a world that is hurting and in pain. Jesus wants us to love the souls He died for Surrender. Jesus sends us as soldiers into the world and our arms are our hearts filled with His love to minister to this sick world the most powerful medicine that there is, Love To be instruments of God's love! Not to focus on the negative aspects of this world, but realize that we are being called, that this is our mission to go into the world and spread His love to the world, by telling others of the Good News.

7. R. They stripped Him! Total surrender all through the Passion, all the way to His death on the cross when He spread His arms and held nothing back. He asks us to die to selfishness that we might live more and more in Him for He truly is Life!

8. R. Life is rooted in Jesus.

9. R. Jesus asks us to meditate especially during Lent on His Passion. In meditating on this, we will realize the immensity of His love and see through the eyes of Mary this immense love that Jesus and Mary have for each one of us. Jesus asks us to consecrate our hearts to His Sacred Heart and Mary's Immaculate Heart. It is through her most tender and loving heart that she places us ever deeply into His Most Sacred Heart. The more we unite with Mary, the deeper we penetrate the Heart of Jesus for They are one. He loves His Mother so much. Jesus wants us to love His Mother. Go to Mary! As she walked by His side on the way to Calvary, she forever walks by our side. See through her eyes the love of her beloved Son.

10. Song: I rocked Him as a baby, I fed Him as a child...

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

   

Jesus Dies on the Cross

1. R. See Mary as she cares for the little tender hands and feet of the infant child. She washes him. She takes care of Him. Now see her as she looks as they nail His most precious hands and feet to the cross. This is her beloved Son!

2. R. Jesus is with us this day truly present in the Eucharist. He is present. He loves each one of us with such intense love. Jesus gave His flesh and blood on the cross for love of us. He gives Himself to us this day. He gives us His body and blood to nourish the life that He gave us through baptism.

3. Song: Take and Eat

4. R. Jesus told me once: "I gave My life for you! What more do you want?"

5. R. Could we see ourselves mounting the cross and dying as Jesus did for love of us? He asks us to love one another as He has loved us. He asks us to love one another!

6. R. Jesus says so many times after communion: "I give you Myself! I give you Myself! You run from the church! You take this so lightly. Tell them! Tell them that I am truly present the same as the day I hung on the cross in the Eucharist. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and I give them Myself!"

7. R. Jesus said that if the veil were lifted, we would fall on the floor. When you see the consecrated host, when the priest raises the host up, think of Jesus dying on the cross. This is the same Jesus that hung on the cross and He is as present in the consecrated host as He was on the cross. He remains in greatest love for each one of us.

8. Song: Oh Burning Heart, O Love Divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You are here to love and care for me.

9. R. See Mary as she held the child Jesus when Simeon told her of the sufferings They would undergo and see Mary as she receives His lifeless body under the cross.

10. Song: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.

Jesus: I come to you, each one of you this day. I remain with you in the Eucharist. In greatest love, I remain with you and you take this so lightly. I long to be ever closer to each one of you. Open up your heart and rid your heart of anything that keeps you from Me. Exchange your hurt, anger, hatred and unforgiveness for a heart that is filled with My Divine Love.

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

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

 

R. This rosary was prayed in the Chapel of the Mary of the Woods. Besides Rita, Cathy, Joe and Marty, there were approximately 25 people present. Rita saw Jesus appear!!

Jesus' Body Beaten for Me

R. Fr. Carter's Mass

I heard him break the host at Mass and cried because
Christ's body was broken for me.

I realized how His beautiful body was
    battered for my sins.

How they whipped His body

"This is My Body given up for you"

Annunciation

See the tender beautiful body of the Child Jesus.
See so perfect as a little baby body is and
see His body battered, bruised and beaten for our sins.

Jesus died to give us new life.

Joyful Mysteries

 

Annunciation

1.  R.  These are the mysteries of the rosary from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Let us meditate as we proceed through each mystery of this rosary. Think of the mystery and pray for the grace and the aid of the Holy Spirit to receive insights into the lives of Jesus and Mary.

2.  R.  The angel appeared to Mary and asked Mary to be the Mother of God!

3.  Mary said, 'You see before you the Lord's servant, let it happen to me as you have said.'...  Luke 1: 38
R.
  Mary  always complied to the Will of the Father. Jesus stood condemned to death. Jesus did the Father's will. Each one of us every day can surrender our lives to God, can live as the Father wills. By living as the Father wills as little children, we will be more one with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Our joy and our peace lie in living as the Father wills.

4.  R.  And Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit.

The Word became flesh,
he lived among us,
and we saw his glory,
the glory that he has from the Father
    as only Son of the Father,
full of grace and truth. John 1: 14

5.  R.  Think of the mystery that God the Father sent His only begotten Son into this world. Jesus was formed in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

6.  R.  Think of Mary, a spotless virgin, untainted by any sin. Think of these mysteries and ponder them as we pray each Hail Mary - meditate on the mystery of God!

7.  R.  Think of the mystery that Jesus, the Son of God, took on human flesh, Jesus had blood in His veins! God comes in a human body!

8.  R.  Jesus is our Mediator with the Father. Jesus has two natures: a Divine nature and a human nature. God the Father communicates His great love to man through His Son, Jesus Christ.

9.  For this is how God loved the world:
    he gave his only Son,
    so that everyone who believes in him 
        may not perish
    but may have eternal life.  John 3: 16

10.  R.  Jesus was carried in the womb of the Virgin Mary.
       Song:  O Holy Dwelling Place

Song between decades:  Ave, ave, ave Maria. Ave, ave, ave, Maria

  

  


Visitation

1.  R.  These are the mysteries of the rosary from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Think of the mystery that Elizabeth, in her old age, had conceived of a son.

2.  R.  All things are possible with God! Mary made haste to the hill country to visit her cousin Elizabeth with Jesus in her womb.

3.  R.  Usually the servant goes to the master. But Jesus the Master, in Mary's womb, goes to Elizabeth to visit her and John in Elizabeth's womb. Elizabeth said:

Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, ‘Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord?   Luke 1: 41-43

R.  John prepared the way for Jesus. Think of this mystery!

4.  R.  Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit and cried out in a loud voice her Magnificat.

5.  Song:  My Soul Rejoices in God, my Saviour.

6.  R.  For God Who is mighty hath done great things to me and holy is His Name!

7.  R.  A visit from Jesus! Jesus, in Mary's womb, went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth and John in Elizabeth's womb. Jesus outpours His grace to us in such abundance during the Mass and when we sit in front of the Tabernacle. Dear God, help us to be more sensitive to the gift of Your grace. God gives us His grace in the sacraments.

8.  R.  There was such oneness between Jesus and Mary from the first moment of conception. The Sacred Heart of Jesus was formed within Mary's womb through the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is God made man.

9.  R.  Mary was overjoyed at carrying the child Jesus, God, inside of her! Think of that! Then realize that when you receive Jesus in communion, He gives Himself to us. Jesus gives us Himself. He wants to be the Bridegroom of our souls. Jesus wants us to be so close to Him. Jesus wants to operate in us. Jesus acts through us. We are never alone!

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me... Galatians 2: 19-20

10.  R.  Mary carried the child Jesus within her womb. Help us realize more and more deeper oneness with Jesus. Help to be more pure for Jesus Who wants us to be one with Him. Jesus is the Bridegroom of our Soul!

Song between decades:  Ave, ave, ave Maria ...

  

 



 

The Birth of Jesus

1.  R.  Jesus is God. Jesus was carried in the womb of His Mother. This is how it is this day - Jesus remains in the tabernacle today. The Divine God is in the consecrated host - He is in the tabernacle.

2.  R.  Jesus came to show us the way. His birth was in such poverty. He was born in a stable. From the very beginning there was suffering. He had only the animals to keep Him warm!

3.  R.  Jesus took on flesh and blood! He gave to us His Body and Blood when He died on the cross. Now He gives to us this day His Body and Blood in the Eucharist.

4.  R.  Jesus came in quietness. But the angels sang: Glory to God in the highest and peace to men on earth! God was on the earth in the form of a little baby! We see the consecrated host and know Jesus is truly present.

5.  R.  This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God! Out of greatest love for each one of us, He came to this earth as a little baby.

6.  Song:  What Child is This

7.  R.  Do we realize, even a minute amount how much God loves us that the Father sent His only Son! Through the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus was born and came to this earth!

8.  R.  It is in our hearts that we know Jesus. Jesus came quietly on the earth and was born in a stable, Jesus comes quietly each time we receive Him in the Holy Eucharist. The blare of trumpets and the roll of drums are there within our hearts. Do we realize what is truly happening in the sacrament of the Eucharist? Jesus outpours His grace in the Eucharist. How sensitive are we to this grace? Do we realize that when we receive the Eucharist that we are receiving Jesus that was born in the town of Bethlehem, that Jesus remains with us with such great love? He cries out to each one of us today: I am God and I remain with you with greatest love!

9.  Song:  A Song from Jesus

 

 

 

10.  R.  Jesus was born, He died, He rose and ascended into Heaven. He is truly present in the Eucharist today.

Song between decades:  Ave, Ave, ave, Maria...

  

 


 

Presentation

1.  R.  Joseph and Mary took the child Jesus to the temple.

2.  R.  Simeon had been promised that before he died he would see the Messiah. He was led to the temple by the Holy Spirit and when he saw the child Jesus, he came to Mary and told her that he was now ready to die. He told Mary that Jesus would suffer and that a sword, too, would pierce her Heart!

3.  R.  From that point on, whenever Mary looked at her infant child, she knew the sufferings He would undergo. It tore her Heart to look at her child knowing this.

4.  R.  It is in Baptism we receive a special sharing in God's life. We are made children of God and heirs of Heaven.

5.  R.  God outpours to us His life, His great love. Who are we that He loves us so much?

6.  R.  Mary suffered intently: when she remembered the prophecy of Simeon - when she and Joseph had to flee in the middle of the night into Egypt to protect Jesus - when she lost the child Jesus in the Temple - when she peered into His eyes on the way to Calvary - when she stood under the cross and watched Him die - when she held His lifeless body under the cross - when she saw Him locked in the tomb. And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, O Mary!

7.  R.  Mary appears to tell us of the immense love of her Son. I have seen her sorrowful face, her joyful face, her old face and her young face. This is what we meditate on in these mysteries of the rosary - the lives of Jesus and Mary. The rosary from Their Hearts. Mary says to see through her eyes: see her Son as He played, see her Son as He preached, see her Son as He went through all the agony and suffering that led to His death and then His resurrection and ascension into Heaven. This is the love that He has for us and how Mary's Heart knows the love in the Heart of her beloved Son. See through Mary's eyes! Feel with Mary's Heart what she felt! It is through her Heart that we are led to the deepest recesses of Jesus' Most Sacred Heart.

8.  Song:  See the Eyes that Look at Mary

 

9.  R.  The love of these Two Hearts! Mary's Heart was pierced with a sword. Jesus' Heart was pierced with a lance. In any love there is suffering. It is through these Two Hearts that we will be drawn closer to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

10.  Song:  I wish they all could see through a mother's eyes.

Song between decades:  Ave, ave, ave, Maria ...

 

 

 

 

Finding of Jesus in the Temple

1.  R.  When Jesus was twelve years old, He was taken up to the Temple for the feast of the Passover.

2.  R.  Joseph and Mary left Jerusalem and didn't realize they had left Jesus behind.

3.  R.  With their hearts in sorrowing, they returned to look for the child Jesus.

4.  R.  Mary and Joseph found Jesus teaching the doctors in the temple. A twelve year old child! They were all astonished at His wisdom and His answers.

5.  R.  Jesus teaches each one of us this day. In front of the Tabernacle many scholars are born. Jesus is our Teacher. In our hearts He is constantly teaching us through the Holy Spirit. If we pray more and more for His gifts, we hear what Jesus wants to teach us.

6.  R.  If we ever lose our way, dear Mary, our Mother, lead us back to the Heart of your beloved Son.

7.  R. As we realize this oneness between Jesus and Mary, the Holy Spirit transforms us into the image of Jesus and we are led to the Father. Teach us Your ways!

8.  R.  The more we become like Jesus, the more we become the person the Father created us to be. Each one of us is uniquely special, so gifted, so precious to Him, our beloved Father. Dear Jesus, lead us ever closer to Your Mother and Holy Spirit, transform us more and more into the image of Jesus so we can become closer to our Father.

9.  R.  Who are we that God loves us so much?

10.  R.  Dear Holy Spirit, we pray to you to open up our minds to help us to understand the mysteries of the rosary, to be drawn ever closer to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We consecrate ourselves to Your Two Hearts and with such love, we thank You for all the gifts You have given to us this day. We praise the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!

Song:  Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow

Song after last decade:  Ave, ave, ave Maria...


This rosary was prayed in the Holy Rosary Chapel of the Holy Spirit Center during the Shepherds of Christ meeting. Jesus appeared during the meditations of the entire rosary. Our Lady also appeared.

Shepherds of Christ Meeting

Mary: I am Forever by Your Side

Mary: My dear little children:

I am Mary, your beloved Mother. I come to you this day and I ask you to draw your hearts ever closer to my beloved Son. He is with you at every moment, longing to be joined ever so closely to your hearts. He loves you with the dearest love.

I call out to you to open up your hearts, to not be influenced by this world and its sin and its hate for each other, but to turn your hearts so gently to my Son Who loves you with the tenderest Heart. I am your Mother and I am forever by your side and walk with you. I watch you. I guard you. I want to lead you ever closer to the Heart of my beloved Son.

Do not ever worry for we are so close to you with our Hearts filled with such love. Times are so tough now. You must come to us so We can fill your hearts with Our love. You will do so much work in this world for Us, but you must come to the Heart of my Son and let Him fill you. Every moment of your day be so fixed to Him. He is your beloved Savior, forever with you.

My precious little children, how I love each one of you so tenderly. I hold you so close to my Immaculate Heart. I call out to you: do not be influenced by this world that has turned to such sin. Pray the rosary every day. It is your weapon against the evil one. Turn your hearts to my Son, waiting for you.

I love you, my beloved ones. I am Mary, your Mother. Thank you for responding to this call.

Be One in Me

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.
 

                    I woke and Jesus said "Rita you are fighting
                    this oneness with Me, you must let go."

                    Be one in Me.

                    Do everything in union with God.

                    R. Oneness, I go into His Heart and I am lost there,
                        He powers me, I am just operating
                        in Him.

                    I surrender myself to Him,
                        I am one in every breath.

                    Jesus: I give you abundant graces to do
                        this work for Me, you must
                        surrender and become one in Me.
                        As you operate, I operate in you.
                        Let go of fear —

                    Your fatigue is coming from your battling
                        this oneness. Give the letters I told
                        you to give. You must be obedient
                        and promptly. I will operate in you.
                        You must surrender totally to Me —

                    Every action you perform, feel a release
                        of anxiety when you let go.
   

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.
 

                R. Through Him, With Him and In Him

                I become so joined with Him in the
                Eucharist.

                Jesus: Let this be your constant
                state, as you operate, I am
                joined one with you.

                Surrender and let go and feel a lifting of
                the burden and a renewed spirit take over.

                My beautiful one, surrender and live in Me.
     

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.
 

                Give Me yourself
                    every breath you take - Surrender!

  

March 14, 1995 - Tuesday, Fr. Carter's Mass

Nothing is Impossible with God

R. Jesus' most Sacred Heart was formed in Mary's womb.

Know that Elizabeth in her 6th month had conceived
    of a son For Nothing is Impossible with God.

Surrender Compliance to God's Will

Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ ...   Luke 1: 38

He said yes in the first station.

Mary said yes.

I surrender to become more one in Him — let go
    of selfishness to become united to God.

Song: Little Child

R. We live daily in this oneness as in communion —
    Communion — one in Him.

We are one Body — Such Oneness —
    I become one in Him, He becomes
    one in me.

I put on Christ in all my actions. He is our
    bridegroom.

I become one in Him, He is in me —

One in Him — One in Him

Marriage — spiritual union —

 

March 14, 1995

Response to God's Love

R. Help us to be so sensitive to the touch
    of His grace. He wants to give us His
    love. As we become more sensitive
    to His touch, we know Him
    operating within us and we respond.

Response to God's love, He imparts to
    us His love and He outpours His
    grace if we ask. Help us to be more
    sensitive, cooperate with His grace.

As I become one in Him, I see more
    and more the hand of God
    in each person created by Him.
    I see their uniqueness, their
    specialness, their beauty. His
    reflection within them. The more
    we model our lives after Jesus and Mary,
    the greater our unity with God.

    We see more the ideal self
        created by God.

The Mysteries of the Rosary

Mysteries of the Rosary from the Hearts
    of Jesus and Mary.

The Mystery that Mary is a spotless virgin
    conceived without original sin.

The Mystery that Mary remained a virgin.

The Mystery that the angel appeared.

The Mystery that Elizabeth conceived in
    her old age when thought barren —

The Mystery  —  for nothing is impossible to God.’  Luke 1: 37
    the Mystery of God.

The Mystery of the Incarnate Word.

The Mystery that He comes as a helpless
    baby, and took flesh.

The Mystery: Jesus took Flesh
    Mary conceived by the Power
    of the Holy Spirit —

He took on Flesh and Blood —
Jesus gave His all to His death on the cross.

We have been divinized through baptism.
In baptism we receive a sharing in His life.
Grace is a gift from God.

Jesus said 'yes'. Jesus died on the cross.
Mary said 'yes' to the angel.
We can say yes to becoming one in Him.

Jesus is the bridegroom of our soul.

Dear God,
    Dress up our souls with virtue.

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.

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

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
