Glorious Mysteries
Resurrection
Messenger: The connection between Mary and Jesus is so strong. To understand Jesus' life, I can see it much clearer through Mary. She raised Him from a Baby and showed Him her gentle ways. She guided Him in all the ways a mother guides her child.
Mary and Jesus are so closely united. She held Him as a Baby, she saw Him all through His Life and suffered so when she received His lifeless body under the cross. She knew that He was dead. What an experience to feel the Life gone from His body! They locked Him in the tomb and she stayed close by, not wanting to leave Him.
Now, Mary with all her memories, all her love, in her most tender heart that lived all the moments of Jesus' life, beholds Him alive after the Resurrection! Such joy for her to see her most beloved Son in such splendor and life!
Jesus is Life. Once again, Mary through her tender heart, the heart that lived His Life with Him, the heart overjoyed while she felt Him grow in her body, the heart that held Him as a Child, that peered into the Baby eyes of the Son of God, the heart that was torn in her chest by the seven sorrows of her life, now beholds Jesus, truly alive and full of such brilliance!
Oh, Mary, let us experience Jesus through your heart. His joys, His sufferings. Let us know your Son more. Help us to love Him through your heart, to see Him through your eyes. From the first moment of conception until He ascended into heaven, let us experience Jesus through your heart. As the Child Jesus was formed in your womb, as you guided His little Life through your gentleness and love, guide us to be more and more like your Son.
Mary speaks: Oh, my beloved children, if you could see what I saw. If you could see my Son's Life. You can experience His Life in your heart. Pray to be led by the Spirit to know and love God more. I am your loving Mother. Through my heart I lead you to the Heart of my dearest Son. The Spirit will give you His gifts to lead you closer and closer to the love of God. It is through Jesus you are led to the Father. I am your Mother and I forever take you to the gentle Heart of my Son.
My Son loves you so much. I saw my Son born. I saw Him die and I saw Him rise for your life eternal. Do not throw away this great gift, the gift of Himself. He gave that you might live.
It is in your commitment to my Son, it is in your love and service to Him that you will inherit the Kingdom prepared for you. I saw Him as a Baby, I watched Him as a Child and I saw Him suffer so for love of you. He gave His Life that you would have life.
Ascension
Jesus took the Apostles to the town of Bethany and gave them His final blessing.
He raised His arms and ascended into heaven.
They stood below in utter amazement of what had happened.
He ascended to the Father. He had risen from the dead.
These are the Glorious Mysteries.
Imagine the grief in the hearts of Mary and the Apostles to see Him go!
Jesus remains truly present and with us in the Eucharist.
He gave Himself on the Cross. He gives Himself to us this very day in the Eucharist.
He loved us so much He died for us. He rose to give us new life.
Jesus is truly present Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist.
He gives Himself to us this day. He wants us to visit Him in the tabernacle.
Who are we that He loves us so much?
R. Oh, my Jesus, help me to realize more how much You love me and that You gave Your life for me. You rose from the dead so I could share in Your life. You did this for me. You remain this very day, in the Eucharist! He gave us a special sharing in His life through baptism. He remains with us in our hearts. God dwells within our hearts.
Jesus: I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, My precious ones. I dwell within your heart. Keep your souls forever holy. I want to dwell in your heart.
R. We should be holy.
Jesus, make me holy. I want You in my heart. I am Yours, Lord, I ask You to sanctify my soul.
Mary, help me to love Jesus through your sinless heart.
Jesus: I am your precious Savior. I have not left you, I dwell within you, My beloved one.
Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the Virgin Mary
R. When the Holy Spirit descended on Mary and the apostles, what joy for Mary's heart.
Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit. A giant wind blew and there appeared over their heads, parted tongues of fire.
The Holy Spirit descended on the Apostles and the Virgin Mary.
What joy for Mary to see the apostles so fearless.
Oh, Holy Spirit, come to us, fill our hearts with the fire of Your love. Where we were full of fear, make us fearless, for we long to have the courage to do all God asks of us.

Assumption
Mary was taken up to heaven.
She lived her whole life in service of God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Now she was taken up to heaven.
Mary has not left, she remains with us. She is wherever Jesus is. She is our spiritual mother. She is forever by our side. She loves us as she mothers us with such motherly love.
Who are we to have Mary as our Mother?
Mary's statue in the residence chapel: face changed. She is so gorgeous. Like other statues, she looks so beautiful! I see Jesus and Mary, from when Jesus was a baby to His hanging on the cross, to His rising.
Mary watched it all. A young Mary and older Mary, a sad Mary, a joyful Mary.
His mother forever in union with Him.
He was carried in her womb and formed in her body.
She held Him as a child.
She peered into His eyes on Calvary.
She held Him under the cross.
Now she sees Him aglow after the Resurrection.
To know Christ is to see Him through Mary's eyes. Feel
Him through Mary's heart. Love Him through Mary.

The Coronation
The Two Hearts - the Sacred Heart - the Immaculate Heart.
Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth.
Can you imagine Mary's great joy to be crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth?
Can you imagine her immense joy to be in heaven?
Can we imagine her joy to see the angels and saints praising God?
Mary is my most beloved mother and now she reigns in the courts of heaven.
* She who carried the baby Jesus in her womb, who held Him in her arms, who walked by Him during the passion, who stood under His cross, who held His lifeless body and watched Him, locked in the tomb...Now is taken up to heaven and crowned Queen of Heaven, forever to reign in the courts of heaven with her Beloved Son!
Mary, my mother, is crowned Queen.
She forever intercedes for us, her beloved children, and cares for our every need as a loving mother.
Jesus gave to us His mother and she is the Queen of Heaven.

Note: I see the same beautiful face of Mary on the Sorrowful Mother statue, I am seeing it now.
God lives in us.
