Jesus Died That We All Might Live
Messenger: He has created us in His own image and likeness. He loved us before we were born. Who are we that He cares for us? We are His creation, the creation of Him Who loved us first. Ought we not love Him with all our heart and love one another, who are ALL His children?
Jesus died that we all might live. He shed the last drop of His Blood. He gave the last beat of His Heart for each and every person. Help us to unite as brothers in Christ. God is my Father. He is your Father. He is Jesus’ Father. He is THE FATHER.
Mary is our Mother. We are His blessed children and He loves what He creates.
The rosary tells the lives of Christ and Mary. How can I be Christ-like if I do not meditate on His life? My life is to be modeled after Christ's life. How can I model myself after "how He loved" if I am not intimately involved in a love relationship with Him?
Through the sorrowful death of Jesus, we are raised to new life. His Resurrection and Ascension is that by which we are given this life. The descending of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles gives us the Spirit so alive within us!
To stop at the Crucifixion is to miss the glory. The glory is found in the Resurrection and Ascension. That is why these mysteries are called the Glorious Mysteries. This is Glory!
