Mysteries of the Rosary Glorious
RESURRECTION OF JESUS
Picture Me, in the early hours
of that first Easter Morn, absorbed in prayer, My eyes swollen from the
many tears I have shed, My Heart engulfed in the piercing ache of many
swords. I am exhausted and numb. Suddenly, without warning, the first light
of dawn burst forth from My window, exploding into a prism of intense light.
Jesus came forth from the brilliance, being the Light Himself. His countenance,
His wounds now dazzled like the noonday sun. My mortal eyes beheld a Glory
I could never have imagined. I could not have withstood the Vision of My
Glorious, transfigured Jesus before Me had He not temporarily released
Me from My mortal faculties. Being yet in My human form, My heart would
have burst with joy had Jesus not suspended My senses in that moment!
Two days before, He was, by outward
appearance, the Son of Woman. This day, I beheld Him as the Son of the
Omnipotent God in all His Splendor!
Our hearts merged as one. I was
in possession of My God. O, what incomprehensible joy! "Mother", He said,
"you have shared in My agony - How, Behold My Glory which you will be united
in an ineffable manner. We shall never again be separated by time and space.
The ransom is complete. My Mother, we have accomplished It Thus."
My children, the fruit of this
Mystery is abundant. Through it, you will be given the grace of a deep
faith - a belief in the unbelievable - that Jesus Christ lives today! You
will be given the grace to recognize His Resurrected Presence in your midst,
on your Emmaus Road to Glory!
THE ASCENSION What joy filled
our hearts during those days after Jesus rose from the dead. Once again,
He walked with us, He taught us and He prepared us for yet another change.
Try to comprehend, My children, the immense Love Jesus had for His own.
Having broken the bonds of death for us, He would now allow us to be witnesses
to the affirmation of our Eternal destiny. As He was lifted up into the
heavens, My eyes filled with bitter-sweet tears. My heart filled with love.
I watched as He disappeared from My sight. His ascension to His Father
never diminished the mystical union that we shared beginning with His Resurrection
and coming to full fruition upon My earthly death. My children, allow this
Mystery to fill you with expectant hope. For the day will arrive when your
lives will have fulfilled God's purpose here on earth and your spirit,
having been freed upon deaths solemn knock, will ascend to Him who waits
for you.
DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT My
Cenacle, It was the first cenacle that heralded the coming of Power, the
Fire of Love - the fire that enkindled human hearts of stone with courage
and conviction. Truth and Justice blew upon us with the wind of the Holy
Spirit. Gathered together in fear and fatigue - in solemn prayer - we awaited
the return of our Savior. We waited and prayed. He had promised to send
us a Comforter and so we waited and prayed. Just as He had promised, He
filled us to overflowing with His Love. He poured forth His Spirit upon
the earth for all generations - for He had opened the gates of Heaven to
all. Never again would He be confined to time and space. His Love was for
all time and all space. His Church on earth was born! I was content to
be Its' Mother, Its' Heart united with the Heart of My Son - for all time.
My cenacle, allow the fruits of this Mystery to unleash in your hearts.
Experience the Risen Jesus, then go out and be the Risen Jesus for others.
Allow this Mystery to renew your broken spirits and then go out and renew
the Face of the earth. COME, HOLY SPIRIT, COME!
ASSUMPTION My Hearts' restlessness
was stilled. My heart was fulfilled. I was returning to the source of My
being. Love had gone full circle. My Spirit was being drawn ever so gently
toward Its' source. My soul, united to My Lord, My Son in a mystical bond
transcended time and space. At the designated moment, heralded by the gentle
songs of the angels, Love's Immense Power Source drew Me body and soul
into the radiant light of My Eternal Home where My joy and My glory knows
no bounds. My children, what radiant light, peace and exaltation await
you! Allow this Mystery to produce within your souls great joy through
expectant faith. You too will be lifted into heaven on the wings of the
angels who already know what grandeur awaits you. Endure, my children,
endure!
CORONATION The glory that is
Mine in Heaven - the radiance of My Crown - is beyond the comprehension
of the minds of mankind. The sufferings from the swords of all My earthly
Fiats have been transformed into precious gold. The glorious gems embedded
therein represent all My consecrated children both on earth and those in
heaven already transformed into glory. The brilliance of these precious
gems reflects the purest hearts of My sons and daughters. I wear it with
infinite love and pride for my children. My Eternal Mothers' Ring! My circle
of love! My children, this mystery invites you to contemplate the wonder
of heaven. Allow the Mystery of My coronation to fill you with hope and
love. Your own crown awaits you. Your crown of glory - your hope fulfilled!

Mysteries of the Rosary Sorrowful
SORROWFUL MYSTERIES
AGONY IN THE GARDEN My afflicted
children, How deep will be the agony of my unrepentant children as they
recall their sins and dreadful rebellion against God. Those who were surrounded
in luxury and seeped in the poison of Satan will stand alone in the Face
of God's wrath turned on the sinful nations. "How lonely she is now, the
once crowded city!...Bitterly she weeps at night, tears upon her cheeks
with not one to console her of all her dear ones. Her friends have all
betrayed her and become her enemies." (Lamentation l:l,2 O, My afflicted
children, must I cry and plead for conversions right up until the day of
the Lord? Then, they will turn their stony-faces and hardened hearts toward
the Light! They shall see their wretched states just a Jesus did so long
ago in Gethsemane. They shall lament over their sinfulness just as Jesus
did. They, too, will sweat droplets of blood at the sight of them.
SCOURGING My afflicted children,
The sins of the wretched nations must be ripped away. Your God is returning
and where God is there can be no defilement - not the least trace. The
rebellious people shall cry and lament as ..."Her persecutors come upon
her...all her gateways are deserted, her priests groan, her virgins sigh,
she is in bitter grief...The Lord has punished her for her many sins...gone..is
all her glory, her princes, like rams that find no pasture, have gone off
without strength before their captors....(Lamentation l:3-5) My children,
the pride of my rebellious ones shall be stuck down. I, your sorrowful
Mother, must witness their blows as their sins are laid bare. When God
lays bare their guilt - who, My children, can endure it? Through this mystery,
reflect on Jesus stripes that laid bare your guilt. Yet, in your stubbornness,
you wear them still!
CROWNING My afflicted children,
my prideful and rebellious children will be crowned with the shame of their
wretchedness. They will be crowned in disgrace unless they repent and turn
back to their God. "All who esteemed her think her vile now that they see
her nakedness. She herself groans and turns away."(Lamentation l:8) My
children have fallen into enemy hands and their enemies will laugh at their
ruin. Their filth is before them, they gave no thought how they would end.
Astounding will be their downfall with no one to console them. Look, O
Lord, upon their misery for the enemy has triumphed over them. (Lamentation
l:9 (paraphrased) My children, through this mystery see the crown your
sinfulness has gained for you! Yet, the Innocent Lamb of God wore it for
you.
CARRYING OF THE CROSS My afflicted
children, the weight of sin presses heavy upon the world. My children did
not heed the voices of the prophets of old. Nor do they heed God's voice
today through the Pope, Christ's Vicar on earth. My Son's Church, who is,
in fact, Jesus living mystically in your midst, is bearing the heavy cross
of confusion, lack of discipline, division and persecution. How my sorrowful
heart breaks as I watch the whole world stumble under the weight of sin.
"He has kept watch over my sins; by his hand they have been plaited: They
have settled about my neck. He has brought my strength to its knees; The
Lord has delivered me into their grip, I am unable to rise. (Lamentation
l:l4) My children, reflect, sorrowfully on what the rebellion of mankind
has caused your Saviour. If God's enemies struck at Jesus with such a vengeance,
how much more will they strike at those He loved so much that He would
die for them!
CRUCIFIXION My afflicted children,
Darkness shall descend upon the whole earth for the awesome hour of the
consummation of sin. Man's rebellion against His creator has summoned this
hour of God's wrath. Rebelliousness and sin shall be put to death and totally
eradicated from the earth forever. A song of lamentation shall echo around
the world. "The Lord has done as he decreed: He has fulfilled the threat
He set forth from days of old; He has destroyed and had no pity, Letting
the enemy gloat over you and exalting the horn of your foes...Dead in the
dust of the streets lie young and old, maidens and young men have fallen
by the sword; you have slain on the day of your wrath, slaughtered without
pity. Terror rises up against me from all sides, There was not, on the
day of your wrath, either fugitive or survivor. The peoples know affliction
from the rod of his anger;...forced to walk in darkness...He has worn away
my flesh and my skin. He has broken my bones. He has beset me round about
with poverty and weariness; He has left me to dwell in the dark like those
long dead. He has hemmed me in with no escape and weighed me down with
chains....He left me desolate...He bent His bow and set me up as the target
for his arrow. He pierces my sides with shafts from his quiver. I have
become a laughingstock for all nations....He has sated me with bitter food
and made me drink my fill of wormwood. My soul is deprived of peace, I
have forgotten what happiness is, the thought of my homeless poverty is
wormwood and gall - my soul is downcast within me. My children, Thus it
shall go on that great and terrible day of the Lord - when the whole earth
shall behold and tremble at the sight of their Omnipotent God - Crucified
- because of man's cooperation with the powers of darkness. My children,
the whole earth shall quake at the sight of its' creator, crucified!!

fiat which gave to the world Jesus, the Humble Babe, our resplendent King.

justice and mercy. O Star of David, that did reveal His humble birth, lead
