Friday ~~ Mysteries of Sorrows

May Our Lady will give us a deeper understanding of Patience through the five Mysteries of Sorrows
”As they led Jesus away they took hold of a certain Simon.” Luke 23:26
It had been a long, slow journey from his home in the country to Jerusalem, and Simon was tired at the end of it. Occupied with his own idle thoughts, he hardly noticed the stream of soldiers and citizens coming out through the city gate. But the soldiers noticed him. A moment later the astonished Simon found himself helping Jesus Christ carry His cross. Simon didn’t like it at all, but he did as he was told; and it was not long before God enlightened his soul.
Simon of Cyrene was the first to discover that the yoke of Christ is sweet, and His burden light. “Come to me when you are weary.”

A red rose symbol of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's sorrowful and painful Passion for remission of our sins , a rose for all praying and meditating devoutly the Most Holy Rosary

May our Holy Mother of God give us a deeper understanding of new life in Christ and learn us to say always Yes to our Lord , through the five Glorious Mysteries .
She is the one who said “yes” to God and therefore allowed her will to be Gods’ Will.
This is such a difficult thing for us to do.
As human beings we get so busy with our lives and our desires that we often can’t determine what it is God would have us do .
Mary is our Mother through great Love of Jesus , her Divine Son and our Saviour. She waits for us to ask and receive her blessed presence in our lives. Then she willingly joins us in our struggle to see God’s Will.
She will help us learn to say “yes” to God.
Mary, thank you for receiving us like your lost children , take care and pray for all of us .

May Holy Immaculate Mother of God give us a deeper understanding of our privilege of Loving God through the five Joyful Mysteries .
Let start each day through an Act of Love

O my God!
I love Thee,
with my whole heart and soul,
and above all things,
because Thou art infinitely good and perfect,
and most worthy of all my love;
and for Thy sake,
I love my neighbour as myself.
Mercifully grant,
O my God!
that having loved Thee on earth,
I may love and enjoy Thee
for ever in Heaven. Amen
~~

O my Divine Jesus,
how shall I return You thanks
for the goodness in giving Yourself to me?
The only way I can repay Your Love
is by loving You in return.
Yes, my Lord, I love You,
and I desire to love You all my life.

My Jesus, You alone are sufficient for me.
Whom shall I love,
if I love not You, my Jesus?
You love those who love You.
I love you.
Oh, do You also love me.
If I love You but little,
give me the love which You require of me.

O Mary, my good Mother,
and You glorious Saint Joseph,
lend me your love wherewith to love my Jesus.
Amen

Let us remember that a partial indulgence is granted to the faithful, who recite devoutly, according to any legitimate formula, the acts of the Theological Virtues ( Faith, Hope, Love~Charity) and of Contrition.

Let us pray that Our Lady will give us a deeper understanding of Christ’s infinite Mercy in His indescribable painful Passion , through the five Mysteries of Sorrow

In His agony on the cross - Jesus simply radiated His infinite Divine Mercy.
While His enemies were pounding nails through His hands and feet, He forgave them, and prayed for their repentance.
His first words on the upraised cross was a promise of Paradise to His crucified companion who a short while before had reviled Him.
”Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” Luke 23:43
Also Jesus gave Mary to John to be the whole world’s dearest mother , so much Love and Divine Mercy laid upon the whole world .
The Gate of Heaven has a Cross for a key . Our Lord and Saviour Jesus gave it to us , through His sorrowful passion and infinite Divine Mercy .
Jesus , thank You for Your sacrifice and salvation .
Jesus , I trust in You ! Amen

Wednesday : Mysteries of Glory

May Our Lady will give us a deeper understanding of Hope through the five Mysteries of Glory.


While there’s hope, there’s life.
Mary was hopeful, even on Calvary, because she saw God’s will in everything.
Hopefulness is a virtue God expects everyone of us and for this we can pray

Hail, Mother of God.
You enclosed under Your Immaculate heart
the Infinite God whom no space can contain.
Through You the Most Holy Trinity is adored and glorified,
the priceless cross is venerated throughout the universe.
Through You the Heavens rejoice,
and the Angels and Archangels are filled with gladness.
Through You the demons are banished,
and the tempter fell from Heaven.
Through You the fallen human race is admitted to Heaven.
Hail Holy Mother of God . Amen

( prayer of Sail Cyril of Alexandria )

God bless and be with each one of you !

Tuesday : Mysteries of Sorrows

Another day in my 54 days Rosary Novena , actually I don't counting the days , I'm just praying and meditating ..
I must confess that praying Sorrowful Mysteries was never easy to me , but Saint Bridget of Sweden taught us to love Jesus Crucified . Thinking of His Passion and sorrowful death will help us to understand still better the infinite Love of God for us, and the evil of mortal sin .
In a time when humanity struggles to fulfill the moral good and eradicate the moral evils of the world, the words of St. Bridget echo through time, speaking to us from the visions from Christ that she shared. From one disturbing conversation she had with Him in 1372, she revealed these words:

“O my enemies, why do you so boldly commit such sins and do other things contrary to my will?
Why have you neglected My Passion?
Why do you not attend in your hearts to how I ’stood’ naked on the cross and cried out, full of wounds and clothed in blood?
“But your eyes and heart forget and neglect all these things.
And so you behave like prostitutes, who love the delight of the flesh, but not of its offspring.
For when they feel a living infant in their womb, at once they procure an abortion so that without losing their fleshly pleasure, they may always engage in their foul intercourse.”

Saint Bidget is known for her Revelations, which are largely meditations on the Passion of Our Lord. Let us follow in adoration of our Lord Jesus Christ Passion and pray :
Blessed are you, my Lord Jesus Christ. Fearing your passion and death, you poured forth blood from your innocent body like sweat, and still you accomplished your redemption as you desired and gave us the clearest proof of your love for all men.
Eternal blessing be yours, my Lord Jesus Christ, because in your last agony you held out to sinners the hope of pardon, when in your mercy you promised the glory of paradise to the penitent thief.
Blessed may you be, my Lord Jesus Christ. You redeemed our souls with your precious blood and most holy death, and in your mercy you led them from exile back to eternal life.
O God, who by your Holy Spirit give to some the word of wisdom, to others the word of knowledge, and to others the word of faith: We praise your Name for the gifts of grace manifested in your servant Birgitta, and we pray that your Church may never be destitute of such gifts; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
