The Love of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary: "He Loves Us, No Strings Attached" by Rita Ring

August 11, 1994 - Before Mass

He Loves Us, No Strings Attached


(Sitting before Mary’s statue)

Messenger: Jesus, You died for each and every one of us. You love us so much. Your love is shown by Your total giving of Yourself, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. You gave Your very Blood in Your veins and the flesh of Your very Body. Beaten, bruised, bloodied, for such ardent, burning, undying love for us!

To love us without any strings - just love us! I do not even know how to love someone without any strings. You love us. We constantly offend You and neglect You and sin against You. In Your love for us You paid the price for our offenses!

How many times, over and over again, You pour out Your love to us, especially in the Blessed Sacrament, and You are ignored, forgotten, and You watch us offend our brothers with such hatred.

You, O Savior, showed us the way. You loved those who tore the flesh on Your body. You loved those who spit on You. You loved those who drove nails in Your hands and feet. You loved those who crowned Your precious head with thorns. You, O my precious loving Jesus, loved and love each one of us despite all our sins, to the point of death on the cross. You showed us the way. When they persecuted You and hollered every slander against You, You still loved them.

Oh Jesus, how hard this is to follow Your way. Give me the grace to love as You want me to love all those who persecute me. I, of myself, cannot be like You. Let me realize the love of my Father more fully. Fill me with knowledge of love of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit so I can more fully act as You want me to.

Realizing Your immense love fills me with such fullness. When the world is cold and mean, the fire of the love of God that burns in my heart keeps me focused on You.

Oh Spirit, open up my heart to the ways of God. I am weak and need Your direction. Jesus’ ways are so loving: Total surrender of His whole self in love for us to the point of bitter persecution and death on the cross.


Jesus speaks: Love, My little child, when they persecute you and holler every slander against you, when they do their vile deeds. See Me as I walked the way of Calvary. See My beautiful Mother, see her suffering, My dear beautiful one, for such love of you. This is your Mother. She is by your side, this very day. When you walk the way of Calvary, she never ever leaves you, she stays constantly by your side. This is your beloved Mother. My child, she truly mothers you as she mothered Me. No mother was ever sweeter than this Mother, whom I give to you this day at your side. She knows your pain. She knows your sorrows. She knows what sufferings are. She watched them, she watched all the horrid events of what they did to Me. She walks with you, this day, little sweet one. She is joined in her Heart with My Heart, ardently loving you.

You, child, need to pray to your Mother this day. You know how I loved you to My very death. You know how I suffered so for you. Did you realize how My Mother walks by you constantly and loves you? Pray to her, sweet one. She is so close to you. She never leaves your side. As she watched My passion and death, she watches you in all your trials. She loves you so much, My little child. Run to her arms and be so close to her breast. This is your Mother, My little child. Such tenderness and love she has for you! Your Mother goes with you on this journey.
