He is so in love with you!!
THE 1ST SORROWFUL
MYSTERY: THE AGONY IN THE GARDEN
Jesus is Stripped of His Garments
As
you begin praying the first mystery, you see Jesus being stripped of His
garments and are drawn by the Lord into that moment very intimately.
You are provided a glimpse of what it was like for Jesus, the most pure, modest, considerate, and loving of men, to be stripped publicly.
You are provided a glimpse of what it was like for Jesus, the most pure, modest, considerate, and loving of men, to be stripped publicly.
Meditate on that for just a moment.
Your heart has been prepared in a very special way to begin praying with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, in anticipation of what is to follow.
THE 2ND SORROWFUL
MYSTERY: THE SCOURGING AT THE PILLAR
“Be Stripped of Your Old Self”
Jesus tells you that you are to be stripped of your old self, individually, as a family, even as a parish, to
prepare you for the work He wants to accomplish through you.
As Jesus is
scourged at the pillar, you see the words of the “Hail Mary” prayer traveling outwards
into time and space to all those in need. The words of this Marian prayer surround each individual and embrace him or her with
Christ's love.
Then you see that Blessed Mother is there also as her Divine Son is scourged; she is interceding for all those in need of prayer in a very
personal and powerful way as the words of the prayers depart your lips to reach out in love to souls in need.
Next, you see yourself praying the Rosary at the pillar along with all those who have prayed it through all time. Your words individually and also collectively
perform the same action.
THE 3RD SORROWFUL
MYSTERY: THE CROWNING WITH THORNS
Jesus Appears to You Crowned with Thorns
As you continue praying the Holy Rosary, Jesus presents Himself to you and He is bound,
scourged, and crowned with thorns. He draws your attention to the crown of thorns in particular, and very intimately shares with you what He did as
He was crowned, and why He did it.
Jesus even allows you to feel the warm Sacred Blood streaming down His Holy Face from the thorn wounds in His Head.
Christ's Precious Blood changes lives by healing hearts.
The
Lord also has you consider the wounds He suffered that could not be seen, injuries that were not sustained to His Sacred Flesh.
How much our sweet and gentle Jesus suffered for us all.
As you pray the Rosary, the words from the prayers continue extending
outward from your lips through all time
and space in search of precious, immortal souls in need of His loving embrace.
The Lord tells you that they are seeking out in particular all those who are wounded and in need of healing.
The Lord tells you that they are seeking out in particular all those who are wounded and in need of healing.
THE 4TH SORROWFUL
MYSTERY: THE CARRYING OF THE CROSS
“Remain.”
The Lord has you share intimately in His heroic struggle to carry the Cross to Calvary so
that He could be Crucified there, for us.
As He drags the Cross in His catastrophically injured condition, Jesus provides you with some personal direction as you journey along your own personal Way of the Cross.
What did He say to you?
While
saying the Rosary, the words from the prayers continue extending outward through all time
and space in search of precious, immortal souls in need of Christ's loving embrace.
THE 5TH SORROWFUL
MYSTERY: THE CRUCIFIXION
“Help Me Satisfy My Longing”
Jesus speaks to you from the Cross, and asks you to help satisfy His longing to be loved in return by every single human heart.
Be sure to show our loving and gentle Jesus your affection every single day.
As Jesus hangs on the Cross, you kiss His wounds and it is by that action that
His
Precious Blood is transferred mystically to your lips, which gives your prayers extra
power via the spoken word.
The words from your prayers continue to extend outward through all time and space in search of precious, immortal souls in need of His loving and healing embrace.
The words from your prayers continue to extend outward through all time and space in search of precious, immortal souls in need of His loving and healing embrace.
Jesus
also tells you that His Precious Blood gives supernatural power to the work of the devout faithful. When we receive Jesus' Precious Blood during Holy Communion, He empowers the work of every apostolate that seeks to accomplish God's will in imitation of Christ and Blessed Mother.
The Lord tells you that words spoken by those who have received Him in the Blessed Sacrament, words said during homilies, speeches, discussions, conversations, and also being recorded, are very
beneficial to precious, immortal souls because of the forgiving, healing, and redemptive power of His
Precious Blood.
God is so in love with us all.
