Jesus: These are My messages for My beloved ones. I am handling this. You are unaware of what is coming. You must pray constantly for all you work with. Satan wants you stopped, and the rosary stopped, now!

I am giving all involved this letter, asking them to pray and read My letters. It is in focusing on Me, My love, that you will fight off Satan's attacks. I ask one hour daily in adoration before the tabernacle.

The rosary is given as a gift from Our Hearts to this world. Do not underestimate the power of the rosary. Prayed this way, I will give you many graces, graces that will open hearts to the messages. This rosary is given to the world. This is a special gift from Our Hearts.

I want this book to be entitled, Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, received and given daily at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, Norwood, Ohio to Rita Ring, Marty Coby and the Ring children, Cathy and Joseph Ring. Messages are transcribed from tapes by Marty Coby. Other rosaries from other locations may be included. Father Edward Carter, S.J., spiritual consultant for these rosary meditations and messages.

April 9, 1995

Jesus: I want My beloved priests to pray the rosary and use these meditations. The people's hearts will be brought back to My Heart and My Mother's Heart. These are rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. They are a powerful tool to spread the devotion to the rosary across this land. People can lead the rosary in prayer groups. Make the shorter meditations into large print for nursing homes. Make some meditations into large print for the sick who have all day to pray. It is only through the power of prayer that Satan will be stopped. Praying the rosary will crush the head of Satan. You are given these rosary meditations as a powerful tool to crush the head of Satan and bring the hearts of all to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. They are focused on the Eucharist and the Mass and will lead many to the Catholic Church.

I am giving all who promote the spread of these messages great graces and guiding them as they do. Teams can be started to go out and pray the rosary this way. Make recordings for the blind and the old.

I am Jesus. Please comply with My request.
