Glorious Mysteries
The Resurrection
1.
Matthew 28: 1-10The empty tomb. The angel's message
After the Sabbath, and towards dawn on the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to visit the sepulchre. And suddenly there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat on it. His face was like lightning, his robe white as snow. The guards were so shaken by fear of him that they were like dead men. But the angel spoke; and he said to the women, ‘There is no need for you to be afraid. I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said he would. Come and see the place where he lay, then go quickly and tell his disciples, "He has risen from the dead and now he is going ahead of you to Galilee; that is where you will see him." Look! I have told you.’ Filled with awe and great joy the women came quickly away from the tomb and ran to tell his disciples.
Appearance to the women
And suddenly, coming to meet them, was Jesus. ‘Greetings,’ he said. And the women came up to him and, clasping his feet, they did him homage. Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers that they must leave for Galilee; there they will see me.’
2. Sing: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord
3. Envision Jesus
on the morning of
His Resurrection from the dead.
4. The Pascal
Mystery:
Death / Resurrection.
5. Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.
... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.
6. The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.
7. At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.
8. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).
9. We have a lifetime to obey God or disobey Him.
10. We must go to God for His plan. The plan of the Father. The design He has made. We are to look to God for our answers. Only in this do we find God who created us. We are His creatures. God must be first.
The Ascension
1. Luke 24:50-53
Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven. They worshipped him and then went back to Jerusalem full of joy; and they were continually in the Temple praising God.
2. God, I love You
so much, dwell in me,
give me the grace I need most, so I can
be Your love, working in me to others,
and the Church and the world.
3. Jesus ascended into heaven to prepare
a place for us.
4. Envision this scene in your mind.
5. See Jesus ascend upward.
6. Wow.
7. The Apostles did not even understand
what was happening.
8. God created us in love and wants us to
be with Him in heaven someday.
9. Very often the job He asks of us can
be very difficult.
10. God wants us to help in the work of
redemption.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles
1. Acts 2: 1-4
When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
2. Sing: Come Holy Ghost
3. From the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy
… the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the font from which all her power flows. For the aim and object of apostolic works is that all who are made sons of God by faith and baptism should come together to praise God in the midst of his. Church; to take part in the sacrifice, and to eat the Lord‘s supper.
4. Pius XII says in Mediator Dei,
In the Sacred Liturgy, the whole Christ is proposed to us in all the circumstances of his life, as the Word of the Eternal Father, as born of the Virgin Mother of God, as he who teaches us truth, heals the sick, consoles the afflicted, who endures suffering, and who dies; finally, as he who rose triumphantly from the dead, and who, reigning in the glory of Heaven sends us the Holy Paraclete and who abide in his Church forever.
5. Christ showed us love and loving conformity to His Father’s will.
6. Christ’s whole
life was living the Father’s will.
Christ lovingly obeyed His Father’s will in everything!!
7. We are to adore God!! We are to love Him with our whole heart and soul and thereby attain our eternal salvation with God forever in heaven.
8. It is the Father’s Plan, His will for us, but we have a free will to obey God or disobey God and reject His Plan.
9. To His death,
Jesus obeyed His Father’s will in love.
We see Christ's loving submission to His Father’s will.
10. From the Lectionary
Pentecost Sequence
Come, Holy Spirit, come!
And from your celestial home
Shed a ray of light divine!Come, Father of the poor!
Come, source of all our store!
Come, within our bosoms shine!You, of comforters the best;
You, the soul's most welcome guest;
Sweet refreshment here below;In our Labor, rest most sweet;
Grateful coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.O most blessed Light divine,
Shine within these hearts of yours,
And our inmost being fill!Where you are not, man has naught,
Nothing good in deed or thought,
Nothing free from taint of ill!Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away;Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.On the faithful, who adore
And confess you, evermore
In your sev'nfold gift descend;Give them virtue's sure reward;
Give them your salvation, Lord;
Give them joys that never end. Amen.
Alleluia.

1. Mary was taken body and soul into heaven.
2. Mary Mother of the Eucharist.
3. Mary help me.
Jesus I want to make a spiritual communion.4. Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.
May 13, 1917
"Do not be afraid, I will do you no harm..... I am from Heaven.
"I have come to ask you to come here for six months in succession, on the 13th day, at the same hour. Later on, I will tell you who I am and what I want
"Are you willing to offer yourselves to God and bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners?
"Pray the Rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the world, and the end of the war." (8)
5. Spirituality of Fatima continues
June 13, 1917
"God wishes you to remain in the world for some time because He wants to use you to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart. I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and their souls will be loved by God as flowers placed by myself to adorn His throne." (10)
6. Spirituality of Fatima continues
July 13, 1917
"During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." (11)
"During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:
"You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
"The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)
"To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....
"But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." (13)
7. Spirituality of Fatima continues
August 19, 1917
She told them she was greatly displeased by the action of the mayor. As a result, the miracle promised for October would not be as impressive as originally planned. (15)
September 13, 1917
More than 30,000 people were present in September, and saw a shower of mysterious white petals fall to within 10 feet of the ground before dissolving into the air. Many also saw the globe of light bearing the Lady come to rest atop the tree, and the branches bend as though someone were standing on them. Later, they saw the cloud depart into the east, from whence it had come.(16)
8. Spirituality of Fatima continues
October 13, 1917
I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.(17)
While the people in attendance were beholding the great Miracle of the Sun, the three young visionaries, and they alone, were privileged to see striking visions in the heavens:
As Our Lady had promised, St. Joseph had come with the Holy Family and had blessed the world. Then, Our Lady appeared as the Mother of Sorrows, accompanied by her Divine Son, Who also blessed the world. Finally, Lucy had seen the Blessed Virgin, dressed in the brown robes of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth, holding a brown Scapular in her hand, with her infant Son upon her knee. However, in none of these visions had any of the figures spoken to the children. (18)
Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her (during her illness) by Mary:
More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.
Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much.
Many marriages are not good; they do not please Our Lord and are not of God.
Priests must be pure, very pure. They should not busy themselves with anything except what concerns the Church and souls. The disobedience of priests, to their superiors and to the Holy Father, is very displeasing to Our Lord.
I can no longer restrain the hand of my Divine Son from striking the world with just punishments for its many crimes.
If the government of a country leaves the Church in peace and gives liberty to our Holy Religion, it will be blessed by God.
Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. (19)

Consecrate Your Churches, Home, and Workplace to Our Hearts
Jesus: I want you to consecrate the human race to Sacred Heart of Jesus. I want to be enthroned in all homes, churches, and businesses.
June is the month of the Sacred Heart. I want to be king and center of all hearts. I will keep My promises given to St. Margaret Mary of Alacoque. I promise all this from My most Sacred Heart. Consecrate your chapter to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Consecrate the church or room in which you hold your meeting.
Today is First Friday. I want you to circulate the message I gave to you on consecrating your homes to My Sacred Heart. Make booklets available for people to be able to consecrate their homes and businesses easily. Use the message I gave to you when you consecrated your home.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph. Consecrate all homes and businesses to Our Two Hearts. Tell all to have displayed and honored, pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. May and June are the months of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Tell all to consecrate their homes to Our Two Hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On this day, the 5th of May, 1995, First Friday, I request that you spend the next two months encouraging all to do this consecration.
Gather your friends and say the prayers I have instructed you to say. Sing "To Jesus Heart All Burning" and "Immaculate Mary." May these Two Hearts of love give all members of the human race peace, joy and love in their hearts.
R. Jesus said He desires to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament.
Jesus: Circulate the Blue Book messages. They promote this devotion. How My Heart is filled with happiness by the souls who come to the tabernacle and sit with Me. I am Jesus Christ, I wait and long and thirst for My precious souls to come. The souls of men have turned cold. I want souls to come to daily communion and be with Me in front of the tabernacle.
Men's hearts have turned cold. They do not know what love really means. I want hearts that are filled with fire for love of God. Men's hearts have turned to stone.
You are to promote devotion to My most Sacred Heart. I want hearts that burn with love for My Heart. It is through Me that you will know the Father's love. I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life.
Offer a holy hour for the indifference, ingratitude, and sacrileges committed against Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the Sacrament of His greatest love.
R. He promises great graces to those who give reparation to His Sacred Heart and who tell others about offering reparation to Him. end of May 5, 1995

10. From A Few Thoughts 3 - November 30, 2024
Blood on the Rose
A few thoughts:
God is always there loving us in the toughest battle,
It is there I touch Him, and know the white heat
of His Divine love.Jesus came and died a brutal death so we could live eternally.
His light never goes out for those who love Him,
even in the battle of life here below.God fill me with love, it is in love, I am most like You.
Love takes sacrifice.
Dear God,
You have sent Your precious love into my heart.
I thank You, my beloved Jesus.
Roses have thorns and yet such beauty.
I see my Savior, the mystery of Christ.
Jesus was a perfect baby, the most beautiful of
all, Jesus, the Son of Man.And I see the blood on the rose - I see Jesus
crowned with thorns and beaten raw, covered in
blood, red like a red rose, beauty and blood,
Jesus with thorns for a crown, His Red Sacred
Heart beating with love, Divine love, Sacred
Love - love overflowing with flames of burning
love for men.Jesus mounted the cross, covered in rose red,
blood, crowned in thorns and He sacrificed
Himself for love of His friends.
Jesus gave His all - infinite Divine love, beyond
our comprehension.He was whipped raw, bloodied and beaten,
crowned with thorns, exteriorly, and like a runner
running a race, He emptied Himself, giving
the last beat of His Heart, the last drop of His
blood for love.Open your hearts men, Jesus is pouring love on us today.
With a kind and generous Heart, He gives Himself,
Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, today, to
us in the Eucharist.Oh Jesus, You pour out Your love to me.
You see me here and love me as no other can.Increase in me my faith, make my interior disposition
one of love, more and more likened to Thee.Come to me Lord and possess my soul, when the
weight of the world presses on us exteriorly, our
interior disposition can be more greatly one in
Him and be greater purified.
It’s about growing in the image and likeness of Jesus.It’s about the Blood on the rose.
It’s about eternal life.
Only one thing is important: Eternal salvation.
God wants us eternally with Him in heaven.
The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally
made present.Such a gift, open yourselves to receive.
Jesus died on the cross for our sins.
Jesus outpours His love now.
Open and receive this precious gift.
The body was made for the soul.
The soul made for Him.
Oh Jesus, I love You, so.
Amen.
Love takes sacrifice.It’s about eternal life.
Only one thing is important: Eternal salvation -
God wants us eternally with Him in heaven.
The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally
made present.
I have all these red trees and bushes that surround
my house, they are still with leaves.
You can see the other trees are barren.
It reminds me of that scripture.
Jesus says how He wants His burning love to
surround the world and how He wishes it was
burning now.I am praying for that love today on God’s precious
earth. Amen
Thank You God.God’s love is so sweet in the battle.
I am a weary, beat-up soldier, I feel, sometimes,
but interiorly I have grown from this cross and
trial. I have a long way to go.The blood on the rose!
Without the death, we could not have the resurrection.Dying to one’s selfish ways is a life-time journey,
but the rewards can be eternal for ourselves
and others.
