virginal and miraculous manner. On this holy night, I say once more: Do not fear, Jesus is your
Savior. Now, more than ever, the world is plunged in darkness, the coldness of hatred, of pride,
and of unbelief, that envelops the hearts of men. Even the Church is disrupted by a profound
crisis. O, my Church! Receive with joy the birth of Jesus; He is living in you because He wants to

As for Her,
Our Blessed Mother tells us that this, in fact, was repeated when He began His Mission.
However, the welcome given by the littlest ones assuaged my sorrow. And so, I ask you, to
consecrate yourselves to my Heart, to become little children, so that I may carry you all in my
arms. As I did with my Child Jesus, I offer you as holocaust to the Father to satisfy His divine

Sorrowful Mysteries (Tuesday and Friday)
1. THE AGONY IN THE GARDEN
The exceedingly moving scene at the Last Supper was immediately followed by the terrible agony
at Gethsemane. Betrayed by Judas, Jesus was subsequently by the rest and was denied by Peter.
So heartbreaking were these events that they are being repeated in a much greater way:
abandonment, denial, betrayal. As we live through this hour of a new, painful agony, our Mother
calls us to be ever faithful to Jesus.

Pilate subjected Jesus to cruel violence out of cowardice. Imagine this horrible scourging that
lacerated His innocent flesh and transformed His body into a single wound.
reminds our Blessed Mother.
Passion, in silence, in prayer, and in suffering. You too will be persecuted & stricken, rejected,
and condemned. But do not be afraid, I am at your side at the hour of this painful passion.
Because today also, it is in His sorrowful Passion that I am fulfilling my role as Mother of the New
Times, which will come to birth from your painful suffering.

3. THE CROWNING WITH THORNS


The thorns opened up on Him rivulets of blood, which ran down from His head and disfigured
His face. Covered with a scarlet scrap of cloth, as royal robe, and with a reed in His hands as a
scepter, they led him to Pilate who presents him to the crowd: Crowned with
thorns, He is the Man of All Times, because upon him have been placed all the sins of the world.
Crowned in glory, He is also the Man of the New Times, because only in Him will the new times
be accomplished, in his glorious return.

4. THE CARRYING OF THE CROSS


The will of the Father so disposed that the Mother would not be near Her Son during his agony.
Her absence would make His abandonment more complete. Her place was instead there on the
way to Calvary as He carried the Cross. She was at His side to help him, No one will ever
understand the hidden mystery of this moment. Now she tells us,
all my children. I will always be close to you, but above all during these moments of darkness and
suffering, when you are being called to live out what Jesus endured during his redemptive

5. THE CRUCIFIXION
It is accomplished. These were the last words with which Jesus gave up his Spirit. Our Blessed
Mother invites us to linger with Her beneath the Cross to contemplate and understand their
meaning.

Everything in your life has had this profound meaning. Read with me in the sealed book of your
existence. In it, everything has been prepared by God and arranged by me with love, as I did with

your own Calvary.

that each of you must realize here on earth under the powerful influence of the Holy Spirit. For
you to accomplish this, Jesus has entrusted you to me completely. And so, that which the Holy
Spirit does in you is part of my own plan. You are fulfilling this plan only if you cooperate with my
maternal action, which is gently transforming you.

Recalling the event of the First Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Apostles

may unite my voice to yours in calling down upon the Church and upon all humanity the gift of
the Second Pentecost.

The Blessed Mother was assumed into heaven, body and soul, at the moment when She closed
Her eyes to Her earthly life. Raised to the glory of paradise, she tells of her wish to each one of
us:

which he will reflect upon the whole world

5. THE CORONATION
Crowned as Queen, the Glorious Mother is seated at the right hand of Her Son, acknowledging
the greatest honor that is due to her as His Mother. Associated with Him in the work of
redemption, and now sharing in His power, in glory, she reminds us of our consecration. If you
consecrate yourselves to my Immaculate Heart and entrust yourselves completely to me, I will
cover you with my own brightness and fill you with light. I will clothe you with my docility and
you will be ever obedient. I will thus make you fit for this battle of mine. And you will see in the

Luminous Mysteries (Thursday)
1. THE BAPTISM AT JORDAN
At Jordan, Jesus lined up with sinners though without sin to let John baptize Him. Taking upon

image and likeness. This, we receive at baptism, which our Blessed Mother reminds us:
you were baptized into his death. Jesus restored in you the life of grace, placing you in an order
of life higher than your own, namely, the supernatural life. Through this you participate in the
divine nature. Accordingly, your actions have new value which is truly divine. I thus asked for the

int the tabernacle where Jesus is kept. Go often before the tabernacle, live before the tabernacle,
pray before the tabernacle. But yours should not only be a presence of prayer; but also, of a
communion of life with Jesus. Make of Him your dearest friend, the most trusted, the most
desired, and the most loved. The Eucharistic Jesus becomes the model, and the form of your

After the Fifth Decade, the Salve Regina and the Concluding Prayer of the Rosary is said.
C Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we
cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in
this vale of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after
this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O merciful, O loving, O sweet
Virgin Mary.

We ask pardon for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope, and do not love you.
Most Holy Trinity - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit we adore you profoundly.

Final Prayers
C Please rise for the Final Prayers. Let us pray the Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary


Virgin of Fatima, Mother of Mercy, Queen of Heaven and Earth, Refuge of Sinners, we consecrate
ourselves in a very special way to your Immaculate Heart.
By this act of consecration, we intend to live with you and through you, all the obligations assumed by
our baptismal consecration.
We further pledge to bring about in ourselves that interior conversion so urgently demanded by the
Gospel, a conversion that will free us of every attachment to ourselves and to easy compromises with the
world so that, like you, we may be available only to do always the will of the Father.
And as we resolve to entrust to you, O Mother most sweet and merciful, our life and vocation as Christians,
that you may dispose of it according to your designs of salvation in this hour of decision that weighs upon
the world, we pledge to live it according to your desires, especially as it pertains to a renewed spirit of
prayer and penance, the fervent participation in the celebration of the Eucharist and in the works of the
apostolate, the daily recitation of the Holy Rosary, and an austere manner of life in keeping with the
Gospel, that shall be to all a good example of the observance of the law of God and the practice of the
Christian virtues, especially that of purity.
We further promise you to be united with the Holy Father, with the hierarchy and with our priests, in
order thus to set up a barrier to the growing confrontation directed against the Magisterium, that threatens
the very foundation of the Church.
Under your protection, we want moreover to be apostles of this sorely needed unity of prayer and love
for the Pope, on whom we invoke your special protection.
And lastly, insofar as is possible, we promise to lead those souls with whom we come in contact to a
renewed devotion to you.
Mindful that atheism has caused shipwreck in the faith to a great number of the faithful, that desecration
has entered into the holy temple of God, and that evil and sin are spreading more and more throughout
the world, we make so bold as to lift our eyes trustingly to you, O Mother of Jesus and our merciful and
powerful Mother, and we invoke again today and await from you the salvation of all your children, O
clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

C In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
R Amen.
C Please be seated as we wait for the beginning of our Eucharistic Celebration.

The faithful take their seats. Commentator and lector proceed to the Sacristy in silence, carrying the folder and the Blue Book.
Commentator and Lector should prepare themselves for the Eucharist in accordance with their prescribed duties.
