Meditations of the Joyful Mysteries

ON THE FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY

December 30, 2022

 This is a message inspired by the Holy Spirit.

 

Lucia: O Lord, it is 1:36 p.m., December 30, 2022, in Saint Laurence Church, in front of the tabernacle, the sanctuary, the Cross, the Nativity scene, the Icon of the Divine Mercy, and the holy statues of Saint Joseph and Saint Laurence. Today, God grants us: I, Lucia, KD, a person in the group who came here coincidentally, MT, MN, and all the brothers and sisters over the phone to be together to offer the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet before tonight’s meeting. We will spend a little more time in tonight’s meeting to ask God to listen to what we lift at the end of the year, in a spirit of repentance, with our concerns and questions, and asking God to teach us to continue in the new year with what God grants to us in our missions.

Now, I invite the Holy Spirit to come as usual for us to offer the Rosary fervently, reverently, ardently, to experience what the Holy Spirit teaches to understand the Joyful Mysteries. Mother Mary is the first person mentioned the most in every Mystery. Especially today, on the Friday of the Octave after Christmas, we are present to pray so that we may understand the meaning of these Mysteries. God’s new program helps us not be bored when we pray and not feel sleepy when we meditate on the Mysteries God specially granted to Mother Mary.

In today’s world, when people are most tense, the Rosary has become popular. However, in life, we pray and keep on praying, but in the end, because we feel sleepy, we pray according to the rules and habits. God still accepts us, but the happiest thing is when we meditate, we will find that praying is very attractive. It is an attraction we experience added to faith, with depth, height, and breadth, and fills us with enthusiasm and reverence as we pray the Rosary. Today, we ask the Holy Spirit to teach us through the Mysteries we will meditate in a few minutes.

O God, I lift to You thanksgiving on the Friday of the Octave after Christmas. I praise and glorify You and bow in prostration before the Infant Jesus. In particular, may I, at this moment, meditate on the Joyful Mysteries of everything Mother has done. As a shining example for humanity, thanks to Mother’s teaching, I and the brothers and sisters in the group have this day to be more aware, with a deeper understanding of the Rosary. When Mother began to give us the gift of the Six Kowtows, that gift became an offering and helped us feel more profound. We pray the Rosary with a deeper meaning and can meditate on each of the Mystery, which God especially grants to us through Mother Mary.

Today, through the Joyful Mysteries, I lift to God and offer to Mother, who is by God’s side, adoring Him on our behalf. Mother is here with us; please continue to teach us to be aware when we pray the Rosary when we have the opportunity to remember certain things we need to do, which is to pray for our Church. Mother, You are a mother who is always attentive, who seeks all kinds of ways to lead Your children in the fastest, easiest, most meaningful way, with the depth and breadth of faith.

Today, Mother gives to us, especially to Christians. Over the years, what is granted and given from Mother Mary’s blessing does not stop at a point, so let us go deeper to experience the meaning of every Mystery. We rejoice to praise and glorify God. For all the plans God has for us through Mother, She represented us to present and lift to receive special favors to help our Church and help us with important matters. In this world, with prayer and beseeching, Mother’s intercession and teaching, God the Father will never refuse what is reasonable that we ask. In the Father’s program, God the Father chose Mother Mary to bear His only Son, and salvation is spread throughout the world to save humanity in every situation, every age, and every century.

We rejoice at this moment because we know the meaning of life is not with a habit but with many things in spirituality through prayers, particularly with the meditation of each Mystery of the Joyful Mysteries. We reverently lift the Rosary, which we started recently to meditate on. We found the most needed and best thing is the Rosary to reverently offer to Mother, especially on the Friday of the Octave after Christmas of 2022, especially in the current state of tension in the Church, with Pope Francis in his advanced age and all the problems surrounding him. Now is a time that no matter which events, we still have Mother who guards the Church and protects the shepherds consecrated to God. Mother stands between the Church and us to help us be more united, for the Church to unite with the laity and for the laity to join the Church to pray for crucial matters.

I offer the Rosary with the first prayers to Mother, and we ask Mother to lift it to God. With the brothers and sisters in the group, as the apostles of the Body and Blood of Christ, we ask for the Holy Spirit to enlighten us to know the meaning every time we pray the Rosary. May we not miss this opportunity to pray for our Church, for the current Pope, Pope Francis. God, please bless him with good health, wisdom, and insight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit and the Spirit to lead the shepherds, the sheep, and the flock. Pope Francis represented Jesus to lead the Church today. May he be healthy, filled with wisdom to lead the Church and the laity in a situation filled with fear and anxiety because of the threat of war, the pandemic, and the problems in this world, afraid that World War III is about to happen. Moreover, there is the matter of unity in the Church, especially in the Church of Germany.

Today, as parishioners, no matter what happens, we only have one thing to do: pray; because we still have Mother. Mother is the person who taught us to pray and lift to God. Let us not use our strength and worldly logic to judge the Pope and offend him with rumors and falsehoods. We ask God to preserve the Pope because what belongs to God has been planned and arranged for all eternity; at the right time, that event will happen. World War I and World War II happened, and World War III may happen. What happens is all in God’s plan and teaches us patience, to recognize, accept, and lift to God, and not judge.

May the Pope continue to be strong and courageous. We know that the Pope knew what may happen because he wrote a resignation letter * shortly after being elected pontiff in 2013. At this time, the Pope is sick and very weak. We know his health is declining; if he ends up in a situation where he can no longer serve, we will lose something significant because he is the Pope of blessing and grace. God let us know since the Pope was elected. We cannot understand by ourselves, but the Eucharistic Jesus said so. We only know that whatever happens, Pope Francis is the Pope of blessing and grace, and the day he is absent or resigns, we will face many difficulties and tensions.

Thus, we offer to Mother, lift to Mother, and ask Mother to lift to God for our Church to have unity; for cardinals, bishops, and priests, to unite with the Pope so that the program with the doctrine of God may continue to spread to the ends of the earth. Let us believe in what the Eucharistic Jesus said to the holy Apostles: “Go and proclaim the Good News; I am with you always, till the end of the age.” Jesus is never absent; He is still in the Eucharist amid the Church. Thanks to the Church, we have Mass and receive the Eucharistic Jesus into our hearts. So we know the presence that God granted to the holy Apostles in the past.

Thanks to the Church for us to have Mass, the tabernacle, and the Eucharist. It is crucial for the person who represents Jesus to guide and protect the flock, the sheep, and the shepherds. In any circumstance, his voice will affect the world; whether people listen or not, his voice continues to echo because God is in him. Thus, we must believe absolutely and ask God to allow our Pope to continue in the role God chose for him till the last moment. No matter which event happens in the world, war, pandemic, protest from many countries, or the lack of unity in the Church, they are the challenges in the remaining and final days of purification.

Our Pope also has moments of fatigue and weakness, so let us lift him to God because there is nothing God cannot do. We, the parishioners, only need to unite and lift the Pope to God and ask God to protect him. This urgency with our prayer then God will never refuse, for this is what Mother teaches us. Today, may God heal all those spiritually and physically ill through the unity of the Church, and may God have mercy and heal the clergy because they also have moments of imperfection and weakness. Let us overlook their stumbles and see the zeal and reverence of the holy, pious priests who sacrificed their whole lives, like the Pope. Remember that there is more positive than negative, so let us always hope in the Lord Jesus Christ and our Eucharistic Jesus. We also have a Mother, and She will be the person to speak up to defend us.

Today, let us offer to Mother Mary and ask Mother to intercede with God for our wishes to become perfect. Especially this year, no matter what happens, may we never get discouraged or lose faith or hope. At the same time, may the laity ask for the grace of faith, hope, and charity. We hear a lot, but when it comes to a life of practice, there are many negatives and shortcomings. Today, Mother, please help us live with faith to pray because apart from the Lord, we have no other place to take refuge, and no one can understand us. No one has the authority to understand each individual and each situation.

We reverently lift our Church today. We live in hope, which is to trust in the Lord because there is nothing we can do. We can only depend on God and look forward to God’s grace, and through His work, directly or indirectly, in each situation, God will know. We cannot separate charity from love, and we cannot ignore unity and solidarity. Where there is love, there is unity; where there is unity, there is solidarity, and where there is solidarity, hands are joining together, and there is a success. No one is perfect before God; all are sinners before God, but let sinners unite because of the same condition as sinners, for us to ask God for forgiveness, mercy, intervention, and sanctification.

May God intervene in our world in the current stressful situation. We are afraid. We fear the atomic bomb and hunger. We worry and fear the pandemic because we have seen the pandemic of 2020, and we also do not know about the days ahead but let us not be too afraid to lose what we already have. It is the last card that Mother gives us, our patron card, which is prayer and unity. Let us not be concerned about the world: war, pandemic. What is needed most is for us to unite and pray, to ask for Mother’s intercession, and ask God to look at us in His way. What father hears his children return to him and pray but turns away? What father abandons his children who are afraid, looking for refuge, and trusting? We, as human beings, cannot turn away or leave our children, let alone God the Father.

Mother has a way of teaching us. Let us listen to Her because, with Mother, we will win this final battle, no matter how tragic it is, no matter how unfortunate it is, but those who endure and remain are those who believe in God, who belong to God, who trust and hope in God. From Mother who taught us with the gift of the Six Kowtows, though ignorant people, today, we have the opportunity to represent the world, say the words that few people say, say the words that people consider as ordinary or make no sense. We have lived in reality our whole life; today, we must live spiritually, in faith, with practice, to thank God through our sacrifice and prayer, by spending time with Him, and by lifting the last days of the year to Him to the fullest. He granted us so much throughout the year.

Today, let us offer the Rosary and ask Mother to lift it to God. Let us meditate on what we need to know from the Holy Spirit. Let us boldly and courageously continue a devout life, a life to pioneer for the Rosary and the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, followed by the Six Kowtows and the Rosary of the Six Kowtows, to reverently offer to God, to pray for the Pope and the Church.

 

1. The Annunciation

Mary said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.” (Luke 1:38)

The First Joyful Mystery: The Angel declares to the Blessed Virgin Mary that She will conceive. Let us pray for the virtue of humility.

 Lucia: O God, every year we celebrate Christmas, every day we pray the Rosary, but let us ask ourselves how many times have we wholeheartedly meditated on the meaning with a heart turned to the Joyful Mysteries? Today, O Holy Spirit, help us to reverently offer the First Mystery of the Joyful Mysteries to God the Father.

O, Father, I adore You, I thank You, I praise and glorify You, the Lord God who creates, the Lord God of wisdom, of power, who rules over generations. Today, with what You have done, what You have bestowed and given, we have the opportunity to honor our beloved Mother with the meditation of the Joyful Mysteries, which we rarely do.

The First Mystery: The angel announced to Mary the conception. We ask for humility.

Mother Mary quickly said yes to the angel. What allowed Her to do this? Because Mother knew that extraordinary and marvelous things that came to the world were not ordinary. The angel appearing was strange and unusual and was a miracle. Mother Mary fully recognized that immediately, and to the words She asked, the angel answered Her. As we know, Mother asked the angel: “How is that going to happen, for I do not know a man?”

And the angel answered: “You will conceive by the Holy Spirit,” and Mother immediately said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word.” Mother obeyed, so at that moment, our world received the Savior who came to Her womb, Jesus, the only Son of the Father, the Second Person of God. He dwelt in Mother’s womb, and the covering of the Holy Spirit became a history of this beginning. We thank God; He has chosen for us a Mother whose life was perfect inwardly and outwardly; Her beauty is second to none, and Her sublimity and purity cannot be compared and is something absolute. Mother is the Ark of the Lord; the Father chose Mother for His Son to be in Her womb.

Today, the Church reminds us and gives us something to summarize as quickly as possible for us to know. With humility, Mother did not ask too many questions; some feelings prompted Her to ask because She did not know of any man, but when the angel answered, She said “Yes.” And those were her moments of silent contemplation. To Her spouse, Saint Joseph, She did not even explain things in those moments. Mother kept a silence, respect, and reverence. She kept to Herself a great secret that God granted Her. She was perfect in the life chosen to bring the Savior to us.

In these special celebrations, let us allow ourselves to meditate a little on Mother Mary, whom God the Father chose to become the Queen of Heaven, the Mother of the Second Person of God, and the Mother of all humanity. Today, every detail is contained in the Gospel as we meditate, and the Church offers us the meditation of the Joyful Mysteries. We see how with the Joyful Mysteries, we are happy and rejoice. Whether we are wicked and sinful, living in the darkness, that joy radiated from Mother Mary and has been with us from the very beginning when She said “Yes,” which granted us the opportunity with the ever-present hope that we reverently offer.

She is the person who zealously works to re-claim what is ours. She represented us to receive God, and He accepted to come into the world through Her womb. She is the One who speaks, prays, serves, and lives an exemplary life on our behalf. That is humility. Today, let us ask ourselves whether each of us is humble enough, how we perceive humility, and how we live daily to express humility when we meditate.

Especially during this year’s Christmas Season, let us give ourselves a little maturity to understand this Mystery. We see the word has reminded us, and what our Mother taught us was not too sublime, not too intellectual, but teaches us the basis of humility in Her. The Mother of the Second Person of God has taught us humility by practice, which will open us to understand what is absolute in the moments that are not too complex and not with too many things we are doing. In our current life, we still fail to understand and focus. Let us meditate with humility to remind ourselves daily that Mother Mary is the person who represents us to receive the glorious and sublime blessing. Today, we understand the word “humble” thanks to Mother.

Let us put into practice the word “humble” to understand its meaning when we pray the Rosary; God will surely grant us through the Holy Spirit’s enlightenment. We start from Mother’s humility, learn from this beginning, and go on with better things. We have Mother as our representative, our intercessor, the One to receive God’s grace. Today we still have the graces of Mother Mary so when things happen, let us listen to Her teaching, instruction, and training. For us to have this day, it all started with bewilderment, but what comes from God will be realized as we now have.

May we unite to lift to God, especially in 2022, to celebrate Christmas, and be with our Mother to thank the Infant Jesus. It has been over 2,000 years, but to us, every year is a joy to commemorate this great event for our salvation, harmony, hope, and a peaceful world. About the battle of the present war, now is the most appropriate time for us to lift to God through the Holy Spirit’s teaching. We unite to adore, bless, and praise God and join our Mother to honor the Savior, the Infant Jesus. May everyone awaken to remember and spend these moments of reflection to become mature children in the ranks of children of God, of the Church, and especially Mother’s children, to turn toward our Saviour, beginning with the Infant Jesus.

 

2. The Visitation

Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a city of Judah, and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. (Luke 1:39-40)

The Second Joyful Mystery: The Blessed Virgin Mary visits Saint Elizabeth. Let us pray to have love for our neighbor.

Lucia: The Second Mystery, I reverently offer to Jesus, our Savior, whom we profess, adore, and honor. Lord, we thank You. Even a hundred thousand words cannot express gratitude for the grace that You bestowed upon us. You came into the world for us to have this day, to have the moment to confess, adore, by the Second Kowtow through the Second Person that we reverently offer through the Second Mystery. Today, we say and present to God.

O Lord, my God, You came to earth in a human body; You are the Author of love who practiced love while still in the womb. Mother Mary cooperated closely with Him. After the Annunciation, Mother set out immediately to visit Saint Elizabeth. Saint Elizabeth said to Mother: “But why the mother of my Lord should come to me?” Mother responded with the Magnificat.

We see a mother the Father chose for His Son. She is the Queen of heaven, the mother of humanity and the world. When God came to Mother, She immediately set out to practice love, visit Elizabeth, Her cousin, and be of service by Her cousin’s side when she gave birth. We see Mother Mary as a chosen person in heaven. God the Father chose Mother to become a person of heaven, but in the flesh, She continues to set out to do and practice the signs that God specially granted with His intention. He came into the world to change us with His love and transform hatred, jealousy, envy, and all the evils of sin from the ego and personality to become love and unity.

We see in the First Mystery; Mother is the One who replaces us. God the Father chose Mother to receive Jesus to bring to the world. In the Second Mystery, daily, we lift to God in a spirit of thanksgiving, which Mother taught us with the gift of the Six Kowtows offered to each Person and through which we learn to meditate. In the Second Mystery, we see how Mother went in haste to do the holy will of God. That was showing love by deed and being someone who goes out to love, care, and serve. So what is summed up in the Joyful Mysteries of our world is to love others.

We do not love easily, we are not generous enough to forgive. We do not understand the word love, but the word love is the main point and the author is given by God who sent His only begotten Son and gave Him to us. It is Jesus, who loved and practiced love. When He came to earth in the form of an Infant in Mother’s womb, She did this for mankind: Mother Mary and Jesus joined together to practice love in God’s plan who sacrificed His Son to save our world. He lets us look closely and He lets us see the Infant. On the Friday of the Octave after Christmas, let us turn to the grotto to contemplate.

We see the beginning, in which the first person to practice this love is Mother Mary. We pray the Rosary and read and hear a lot, but God asks us to practice only the words “love others.” To love ourselves is natural because who does not? Let us love ourselves and love others and those around us; this life is full of jealousy and envy, and because of sin, we did not submit and disobeyed. From the first time our first parents sinned, that happy place, the Garden of Eden, was lost due to disobedient people, and from that moment, we have fallen into a state of no longer obeying nor understanding the meaning of love.

As we read in the Gospel, God the Father said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals. You will crawl on your belly and eat dust all days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” God the Father knew all things beforehand, arranged all things, and is the omniscient Lord who knows what is to come, what He grants and gives. How long will it take for that to happen? For us, it has been over 2,000 years, but God planned and arranged from the beginning by acts of love, by teaching us the doctrine of love, as we need to transform hatred into love, with generosity and forgiveness.

But today, is our world in a state of love, loving others, or not? If we love and do love others, there will be no war, no pandemic. Today, what we fear the most must be the nuclear bomb threatening the whole world, all countries, nations, all classes, and roles. Everyone is afraid; even the president fears this bomb. We are defeated and make mistakes because we do not live as Mother lived.

Today, Mother continues to come to us to teach, not letting go. She is determined to help us through the gift of the Six Kowtows for us to return to God, and from the moments we cannot forgive, but for God’s sake, we learn to forgive. When we live, we must choose the way of life to return to God with a heart of prayer, a forgiving heart, and a compassionate heart and live as Mother taught us daily. It is the truth, but we do not understand. There are good words and ideas, and there is the worldly program in law, all things we are doing. However, we see the threat of the atomic bombs and the evil of today’s world from those who are disobedient, disbelieving, arrogant, and who deny God’s authority. We are afraid of this.

But remember, Mother teaches us not to be afraid. If we understand what is ongoing, what we are facing, and what is essential to this world, we must listen to Mother and live in prayer. We need to love and forgive each other, hold each other’s hands, and have mutual support. Whether we leave this world or the atomic bomb destroys this world, our souls will not die but return to our heavenly Father, and Mother will wait for us at heaven’s gate.

Let us meditate today. Mother Mary practices love, but we walk away from love, from God’s way. How can we live and survive? Thus today, what God wants will be realized in the world; if people are mature to return no matter how sinful, hold hands together, turn towards God, return to God, and forgive each other, we will not be afraid, even if events happen, we still live in hope. Mother Mary practiced love for the world and led us to the Infant Jesus this year so let us meditate on the Joyful Mysteries to understand what we have, and let us not feel bored, sad, sleepy, or pray out of habit like we used to.

Let us meditate for a moment because the Holy Spirit granted that spirituality to everyone. The most important thing is whether we can spend some time to overcome our weak flesh to pray fervently and spend time with God. God gave us an entire life, but when we spend a day for Him, maybe it is too much and too long for us. What have we given to God in our lives? How much of our time have we given to Him? He created us and gave us a program to learn from our beloved Mother, who continues to be with us today to teach us. It is perseverance that Mother Mary practiced and continues to practice for us. It is the love from Mother who comes to teach us and leads us back to God.

May we unite to thank God for the meaning that today we are kneeling before the Infant Jesus. We thank our beloved Mother, who was quiet and silent but did all great deeds for humanity from the beginning, for us today to enjoy the graces and the intervention still given to us through Her teaching. Mother, we thank You, and tonight, with You, we thank, praise, glorify, and adore God.

 

3. The Nativity

And Mary gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger. (Luke 2: 6-7)

The Third Joyful Mystery: The Blessed Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus in a cave. Let us pray to have a spirit of poverty.

 

Lucia: With the Third Mystery, I offer You, Holy Spirit, thanks and praise. Without You, how can we understand the Third Mystery? How can we know of the Birth of Christ in the manger?

 

O Holy Spirit, through the ages, You have remained the Lord God hidden in us and dwelling in us to enlighten and guide us in good deeds, holy deeds, and knowledge in Your grace. You teach us through Your seven gifts, starting from that for us to understand more about the lofty spirituality guided by the Holy Spirit. But Lord, how do we allow our hearts to be quiet to listen to Your voice? There are many opportunities, but we do not want and do not listen; we only do our own will, with ordinary eyes, judgment, and doubt, according to the flesh. We do not believe in spirituality and the gentle and tender voice with the love that You granted us through the Third Mystery, through the Third Person of God to whom we reverently lift. We meditate on the things of today with the Third Mystery: The Blessed Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus in a cave.

 Lord, I thank You. A mother is a person of complete obedience and performance at every stage of Her life. Whether She succeeds or whether people criticize or reject Her, Her feelings for us never change and complain. Mother has always been faithful to You, a pure and perfect person who did everything in Your way and will. Today, She grants us a meditation of the moment She gave birth to You in a cave, a place so lowly that women in developing nations would not choose to give birth. Mother Mary, the Queen of Heaven, the Mother of the Second Person of God, the Mother of humanity, since the beginning with faith, learned about God and accepted the task of bringing the Father’s only Son into the world. No matter any situation or stage in Her life, faced with difficulty, She continued to believe and perform and finally gave birth to Jesus in a cave on a cold winter night. We see the closeness with faith,  and outwardly, we see Mother, quiet and gentle, but inside Her is a surge of strength, who practiced and believed absolutely in everything that comes to Her life.

Few people can meditate on this and comprehend what Mother Mary has done for so long for humanity, but there were praises through generations. Mother’s greatness deserves the honor. Mother wants to let us know that everything She did belonged to God; She wants us to glorify God and join Her to belong to God and practice what She teaches to live in faith. Mother wants us to act for God’s sake, to sacrifice for His sake, and for everything to belong to God. Who can love God like Mother Mary? Due to these points, we see that with extreme poverty or suffering, Mother never lacks faith in God. Today, the Church reminds us of the Third Mystery with the words: Let us ask for the poverty in spirit.

That spirit of poverty started from Mother Mary and the Infant Jesus, who came to save humanity. He was born in a meager stable, but He chose that place to give the joy, the affluence, the comfortable mattress, the warm blanket, what is the best,  happiest, noblest, most abundant, and pleasant to us. We see how Mother endured and suffered. God and Mother accepted all the poverty to give us days like this, and hope. We cannot forget and must meditate to understand each mystery to help us not pray the Rosary by heart or out of habit but to take a closer look at the action, the example because God the Father chose Mother to be a role model by deed. Her actions and words have value for our lives, and our souls later belong to God.

We contemplate the Infant Jesus in the manger, and 2,000 years later, what does Christmas mean to us? Why do we meditate at this time? No matter how many things are already in the world, what the world needs to practice and know is the offering to lift to God. Mother taught us through the numbers: 2, 2, and 2, which sum up to the number 6. The number 6 stands for Mother Mary, whom the Holy Spirit wants us to meditate on in the Third Mystery. The Third Person reminds us that the Holy Spirit enlightened and guided us to understand what we professed, contemplated, and offered for the past twelve years. Today, the work continues richly through the guidance and enlightenment of the Holy Spirit to speak of Mother Mary – the sixth place of honor in the Six Kowtows – who will intercede for us at the end of history. Indeed, it is a great wonder that without the Holy Spirit’s enlightenment, how can we understand?

We have the Old Testament and the New Testament, but at the end of the century, when we face days of purification, who helped us lift to God in these times of urgency? With the practice of praying, with soul, body, mind, and heart, we lift to each person without being distracted, and when we pray the Rosary, it is not out of habit. It is a program through the Holy Spirit to help us pray and meditate to be aware of what God wants to say. What He has done for us is to come as an Infant, born on a cold winter night in a cave. He is the Infant Jesus we worship and adore on the sixth day of the Octave of Christmas. In the Fifth Mystery, we will learn something mysterious and profound.

The Lord is the God of numbers, space, and time, of humanity, who planned for Mother Mary to come into the world. She fulfilled Her task, and in Her fulfillment, we see our salvation as the Infant was born, for us to know the assigned number and the time, to honor and thank Her. It has been this way, but today, we understand it better because Mother taught us the last moment of heaven’s seed for us to sow. Let us unite and meditate on the Mystery with the humility we need to have, in the love we need to show to one another, and practice in the poverty we face. The world we chose ends up with a problem that we now face in sorrow: war, money, and fame. What we do opposes God and offends Him, so we suffer the consequences in this day and age. Who is the person who can restore and change?

For things we choose, we must accept what we now face. As for what is spiritual and hope, then Mother is the person who has let us know and taught us for nearly twelve years to understand what is of this day. We begin to offer to God and practice for our hearts not to change and waver as we have been with habits and rules for generations. All this newness does not come from us but from the Holy Spirit, who wants us to grow each day in the richness of God’s grace. We are not the ones who read the book, flip it and close it, but we need to practice and summarize the most essential, the most basic we need, and practices in the basis of a Christian. Especially in what we must do, Mother did for us and asked God to let us do it as well. She asked God to help us accept the challenge ahead through the Third Mystery.

We see the pandemic that caused a standstill. Everything entered into bad days and reached a negative situation like today, and there will be many things at the end between man and man, fighting between good and evil. We see this answered very clearly; as for the rest, Mother teaches us to accept difficulties. Let us continue to pray, be faithful, and persevere. That difficulty will help us through a war that we must face because it was our human choice, but with a spirit of hope, Mother Mary will be the One to lead us into that hope before the Infant Jesus. Today and especially this year, no matter what happens, no one can take away our hope because Mother practiced and is leading us. She wants us to cooperate with Her and not be afraid of the world that uses every means. As God said: “Do not fear those who kill the body but fear the One who kills both soul and body and throws them into the fire that will never die.”

If we understand this, should we give ourselves the opportunity and accept the difficulties we never do, or do we continue to complain and protest? Let us look at the Lord God and the Queen of Heaven who humbled themselves to live with trials for us to have this day. That sacrifice is enough to express God’s love, a great example so that we cannot deny our sinful condition and return to God, with the meaning of the Joyful Mysteries that we offer Him, especially during this year’s Christmas Season. And if there are many more Christmases that God allows us to celebrate on earth, let us never deny what we have and offer it to God as an offering. No matter what we endure, it cannot be what Jesus, Mother Mary, and the Holy Family experienced, so let us sacrifice a bit more, love our brothers and sisters, sacrifice for the poor, and for those living a life that requires our help.

Today’s prosperity comes from the sacrifice of God and Mother. Thus,  every Christmas season to come, why do we not have gifts for each other? The meaning of gifts is not to give to people we like, but to give to the needy and poor, those who are living in days of the war, those who are suffering from illnesses, those who have no electricity, no water, no food, such as those suffering in Ukraine during the current war. It is the most obvious opportunity that the Holy Spirit wants us to know and practice in every way, in all areas, to lift to God during the Christmas Season. We thank God for the Christmas season. Almost six days have passed, but we still have days to contemplate the Holy Family. For the  Infant Jesus and our beloved Mother, we unite with Mother. We ask Mother to teach us so that on our path of witnessing and practicing, we accept hardships and overcome trials to bear witness to love. May we bring the gift of the Six Kowtows to the world to pray and be close to our beloved Mother, who will lead us home to God while there is still time and when time is critical.

I thank the Holy Spirit. We do not know ourselves, but when we listen, pray and meditate, the Holy Spirit will teach us more. The riches of heaven do not cease to pour over the world, but do we have enough faith to accept and practice it? That is the most important thing. We learn about the meditation Mother Mary wants us to do,  allowing us to meditate on each Mystery. The Joyful Mysteries, the Sorrowful Mysteries, the Glorious and the Luminous Mysteries are all meant to praise and glorify God through what God has done, to teach us when we have a spirit to meditate and focus more through the prayers that we reverently lift as an offering. With each Mystery, we meditate according to the way Mother teaches us with the gift of the Six Kowtows for the Rosary to become a meaningful offering we lift to God in that meditation. We do not become sleepy and do not pray out of habit, but meditation helps us understand more and discover more of the beautiful and mysterious things God gives us through Mother Mary.

 

4. Offering Jesus in the Temple

When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (Luke 2: 22-23)

The Fourth Joyful Mystery: The Blessed Virgin Mary offers Jesus in the Temple. Let us pray for the virtue of obedience.

Lucia: The Fourth Mystery I reverently lift to the Eucharistic Jesus as we do every day after Mass, as an offering to Him. Today, I ask God to allow me to use my meditation on the Fourth Mystery to talk about the Eucharistic Jesus. He is also Jesus whom Mother held in Her arms to present Him in the Temple.

God, You are the Lord of space and time. Time and space are nothing to You but what happens in this world is a scheduled plan, a history that cannot fade in the world. God came to us. He took on human nature and was subject to the same schedule as those parents who presented their firstborn in the Temple. Who did? Mother Mary did; She brought Jesus to the Temple, and that presentation was to hear about the entire life of Jesus as He achieved the work of salvation. Mother observed that law, holding the infant, so young in Her arms, the Infant Jesus whose birth we celebrate on the Friday of the Octave after Christmas. That story is recalled after 2,000 years, for us to have the opportunity to meditate. The story of an Infant with a prophecy about His life from a man named Simeon.

Mother Mary was a person who had feelings, at times feeling sad, and at times feeling the love She had for God. When Mother heard Simeon’s prophecy, She did not say anything, did not complain, but cherished and kept it to Herself. She stayed by Jesus to serve Him every moment without being separated from Him and continued to show Him that respect even more deeply. Through each Mystery, it was Mother Mary who did many things on behalf of our world, and God chose Her as the perfect Mother to replace our first parent. Right from the beginning, Mother completely embraced, meditated, prayed, and waited for the fulfillment of God’s plan after He died on the Cross. From the time Mother presented Jesus in the Temple, today, it is through the Fourth Mystery that we reverently offer to the Eucharistic Jesus. It is the same Eucharistic Jesus that today, we see the history related to His glorious Resurrection. We see Mother’s great sufferings and inner life with the daily prayers and the continual union with God, especially with Jesus.

It was Jesus who instituted the Eucharist. He promised to remain in the host to remain with us every day until the end of the age. We can have a contemplation to be associated with what we have today. Today, we witness the Eucharistic Jesus in the glorious power visiting our world to help us understand that God is still with us. Even when that true story has become history, it is revived in faith as we meditate on the Fourth Mystery. We do not need to look at the extreme sufferings; we know Mother endured everything to give us hope; today, we still have the Lord God, who is spiritually present through the Blessed Sacrament.

Today, we need to respect and honor God and meditate when we pray to the Lord God, who is not that distant but was the Infant presented in the Temple over 2,000 years ago. When Simeon told Mother the prophecy, Mother remained calm and kept it all in Her heart. She accepted everything that came into Her life, even when Her Son died on the cross in excruciating agony to save humanity. Today, She still replaces us spiritually beside the Eucharistic Jesus, and where the Eucharistic Jesus is, there is Mother Mary. Today, Mother looks at us through generations to see whether Christians have enough faith in the Eucharistic Jesus. According to the survey of this civilized world, only thirty percent of Christians believe in the Real Presence of the Eucharist; where are the other seventy percent? Mother Mary kstays with God every day when we forget Him, do not recognize Him, abandon Him, or offend Him. This world is gravely offending the Eucharistic Jesus.

Who told us this? Mother Mary did. Through the ages, She let people have their freedom, but She always wants us to know that God is still with us. God is present through the Church. God is present in all the tabernacles around the world. God is present through Mass and dwells in us when we receive Him into our hearts. It is something simple and ordinary but not many meditate on this, and because it has become a habit and routine, people who have offended the Eucharist are those in positions of authority. They are also weak and imperfect people like us, but they are people who unintentionally or intentionally have seriously offended God. Mother shed tears of blood and wept because we do not realize and understand the importance and value that Jesus granted us through His Eucharist.  and on the same day that Mother presented Him in the Temple. It was a schedule unfolding that Her whole life embraced, cherished, and led us on the paths where Jesus sacrificed for us on the Way of the Cross.

That period does not end but continues because the love, forgiveness, and longing today are from the Eucharistic Jesus. We cannot belittle, and faith cannot fade away. Faith is not faith in a human way, but a true faith to seek to come to God, to recognize the Lord God still with us in respect, and reverence, with a depth to seek Him and lift to Him with our prayers. From the beginning, Mother has replaced us; the rest is up to us. What is known and heard is set in an age revealed to us by that very same age. In each era, God grants through Mother for us to have all kinds of messages to bring us back to Him. In this last era, God also leads us directly to the Supreme Being, full of power, who remains on earth to wait, intervene, love, and forgive. That is the Eucharistic Jesus.

It is not by coincidence for us to understand this today. It is not by chance for God to visit us to reveal the light of His Eucharist and for great wonders to appear from heaven. Today, we receive these wonders that are too sublime, too magnificent, too mysterious, which we never had before. These wonders appear in this world to awaken people and strengthen faith for all classes and roles and those who are indifferent and lack respect for the Eucharistic Jesus. God remains alone and lonely in all the tabernacles. He is greatly grieved and has bled for today’s world. God stays with people; He stays with us, but we do not come to Him. We only come to God at a time according to our will, out of habit, cold, indifferent, and emotionless. Moreover, we allow our hearts to become empty; we do not experience what the Eucharist awaits and what Mother wants to teach us today.

Throughout Her life, when God was on earth until the end after thirty-three years, Mother still embraced it and wanted to dedicate Herself, especially to God. Though He returned to heaven, body, and soul, She continued to do the Way of the Cross to lead people to remember what God did in that momentous mission. Everything has become history, and we must remind ourselves that Jesus accepted suffering because of our sins. In the end, happiness, peace, hope, and joy are the Eucharistic Jesus. We cannot forget Him, disrespect Him, or be indifferent to Him, with only thirty percent who believe in His presence. We cannot share what God grants and wait for people to accept. If not from God, who can say those things? Of course, people need proof that it was from God because they fear it may come from the devil and all sorts of things.

Correct! Here is a world influenced by the devil, who has all schemes and tricks, but we must know that our God is above our thinking, and the devil cannot be above God. God has a way for us to know of His presence, and He grants us the encounter. God lets us find out by ourselves; finally, we know it is truly Him. Today, though God continues to allow us to do what we want, He is still the Lord, full of glory and power. May we recognize that splendid glory without human defiance and rationality because we must believe. No one can compare the colors and the sublimity associated with His Eucharist. It is such a sublime wonder that only the Lord can grant that to us. The reason is that He loves and still loves us and wants to bring us back to the place of refuge, of trust, where there is hope for our body and soul in the future.

Today, that sublime wonder exists in our beloved Mother, and from that love, She reveals to humanity what we still have: the Eucharistic Jesus. Mother is spiritually present in this world, but it requires faith for us to encounter. Today, Mother gives Her gift to each person and each stage. We can accept it or refuse, but with our current condition in jeopardy, with our indifference and weakness, what do we have left to offer God? For years we have been indifferent, so there is nothing left for us to come to God but to prostrate, soul and body, mind and heart, to lift to Him, to be deep in meditation and spend time with our soul in contemplation. If we understand this, we will not get bored because every time we pray and meditate, something helps us further understand and be more aware of the spirituality God grants and gives us.

Of course, God wants us to follow the schedule He sets aside through the Church for the Church to teach us and for everything we do to be in union with the Church. God also wants to draw us closer to Him, for us to pray for our Church, work more closely with our Church, and be conscious of the marvelous wonders that Mother has specially dedicated to the world. The Eucharistic Jesus also granted our world one more program: His Divine Mercy. The Divine Mercy was not in the Gospel. When was the Divine Mercy given? God has the authority to grant His Divine Mercy, and today, we unite to return to the Divine Mercy. So, in everything, let us not question according to the way of the world, not ask in the usual human way. We can see that we are in jeopardy and heading toward a negative situation in this world so let us return with a spirit of learning to pray, visit the Eucharistic Jesus, and prostrate ourselves to adore the Lord and come to the Eucharistic Jesus.

All these things we need to do with the inner life of prayer in the way Mother taught. Thank God for giving us this meditation to see that in each Mystery, Mother is the intercessor for our world. All we know that comes with Mother’s gift is no different; it is a beautiful offering for people to lift to God through a life of prayer, a spiritual way from the Holy Spirit’s teaching. We need to practice, bow down, prostrate, and give ourselves the opportunity; we will see when we stand to pray, the feeling is different; when we sit and pray, the feeling is different; and when we prostrate before God, we pray differently. God created us. Thus, we lift to Him as an offering even though we are unworthy and imperfect, but He sees our hearts coming to Him.

It is an unworthy offering, but we have nothing left, so God still accepts it. He wants to see us come to Him, learn to pray from Mother, for us not be tempted with a pair of wandering eyes and many habits with indifference that most people to this day have not been able to find a way out, to seek to come closer to God in every way. If we are without spirituality, through Mother’s teachings, which are contrary to everything in this world, we are those who do not understand and do not know how to pray. We are determined to pray, but can we stay focused for half an hour or fifteen minutes? Our heads are full of thoughts. However, when we kneel and prostrate ourselves in prayer before the Eucharistic Jesus, it seems that space and time pass very quickly, and we feel meaningful, peaceful, and happy, which is the gift the Eucharistic Jesus grants. Why do we not come to receive it?

She wants us to accept it for us to be calmer and more mature, not disturbed by a world that lures us into sin in many ways so that we leave God and let reality rule us. Today, I thank God for giving us the most concise thing so that we know to obey and submit. In life, we cannot resist the world, but the method for us to know is to accept, be patient, and wait for the Lord’s hour. That is obedience. In each situation, in a family or a group, what God wants from us is obedience and unity. When God chooses a person, even when we see that person doing wrong, if God wants that person, then that person will become responsible because God will have a way of not letting that person do wrong when that person leads many people on an arranged path. Thus, what is of God we know by reaping; what is of God will go on endlessly with success, with newness, with overflowing graces. As for what does not belong to God will become rotten and broken and will never have a good outcome.

But on the way to accepting that truth, we face many challenges. If we unite to pray, resolve to what God gives and keep what is ours, we will have a good result. For God never gives up on those who, even in the remaining moments, stay awake at the last moment, God still grants them. With the program, God gave us for the past twelve years, was it not enough to overlook others’ weaknesses as we see? We see their weaknesses, but do we not see ours? We are also part of the reason for making themselves suffer because of us. Remember, we all have a bond of solidarity since Mother Mary conveyed and taught us this gift. As pioneers, we must bear the responsibility and have the spirit to focus more on the Holy Spirit’s guidance and not be discouraged or lose a great opportunity when we follow our own will. Remember, we were the first people called to this mission though we were indifferent and did not know who the Eucharistic Lord was. Did we spend time with the Lord? Did we know how to pray? It has been a process for us to learn, so are we in a state of hesitation, condemnation, and judgment?

Let us think for us to live with ourselves by the grace of God, use words when we speak, use thoughts to see, and live in the mission God calls us, and not disappoint and grieve Him. Today, Mother is the person closest to us; She chooses us so She will have a way to help us. No matter where we go, She still holds us and gives us the opportunity; if we listen, cooperate and come back, we will continue in joy. Otherwise, we live in negativity, which leads us into times of sadness, loneliness, and anxiety; we will suffer the consequences of the wrong way we chose when God calls. Today, we must allow ourselves to stand on the threshold for us to choose, not according to our own will, even when we think it is something good or we like, but God’s will is all that matters in our lives.

Mother Mary, I thank You, these are things we need to pay attention to because the Joyful Mysteries have everything to do with You, with You stepping forward and doing everything for us. The Fifth Mystery leads us deeper and closer to the Eucharistic Jesus and helps us better understand the wonders revealed in the world at the end of history. The gift of the Six Kowtows has become a gift that God gives for more understanding. That meditation helps us become more profound and zealous with an inner prayer life. Although it takes a long time for us to meditate, it is time for God to help us lessen sin, lessen the wasted time in a world that is too familiar in our lives, when we use time each day in our habits while really and always stingy with time for God. So, we receive many graces, but we do not give back much in return, and today, we still argue about many things in our lives. Because of those points, the world is still facing days of sorrow, disease, greed, and vanity, finally coming to an end like today.

May God allow us to spend time with what we have to offer, and in the time that God allows, do what we can because God does not require excessively. May we trust when we serve God, God will grant us later and decide the time for us accordingly. Believe, and we will have; seek, and we will find; knock, and the door will open. Thank God for granting. May the brothers and sisters understand obedience for our lives to follow God’s plan in our mission more perfectly because Mother teaches us to listen and meditate on the Joyful Mysteries. I thank, praise, glorify God, and thank the Infant Jesus. I thank Mother for everything You do for us and the world and what You continue to teach us to follow God’s ways with more meaning in our lives. May prayer strengthen our faith. May we not feel afraid and bewildered when all problems surround us and will come to the world in the remaining and final days of the purification.

 

5. Finding Jesus in the Temple

After three days, they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions (Luke 2:46)

The Fifth Joyful Mystery: The Blessed Virgin Mary finds Jesus in the Temple. Let us pray to be faithful to God.

Lucia:  O Jesus Christ, You granted me and my brothers and sisters to reverently offer the Five Holy Marks daily, to become an offering before your Cross, which has taught us reverence. The meditation on the mystery of the Five Holy Marks has a connection revealed, and today, we meditate on the Fifth Mystery of the Joyful Mysteries.

God, Mother looked for You for three days. Why not two days? Why not one day but three days? Three days is the time assigned to a number; God is the Master of time and space, the Master of the world and numbers. Three days tells us that Jesus, at that young age, did not get lost but stayed back to achieve a purpose. The Father’s plan had stages, and Jesus was the One who knew what best to do at each age, especially at the age of understanding; He immediately put into practice things in His role. Jesus remained in the Temple and purposely stayed in the Temple, sitting among the doctors to teach them and to inform them. Did Jesus stay back without Mother and Saint Joseph knowing? It is not that Mother and Saint Joseph did not know, but this is what we logically see in the world. When one’s child is lost, whose mother will not look for him?

It is what the Lord wants to show the glory foretold. Jesus came into the world to fulfill the Father’s plan for Him. As we read in the Gospel, at a young age, Jesus preached to the doctors and teachers, and it was to express His mission as a Savior. Jesus spoke to our world, all classes and roles, blessed by God’s grace, a life of practice, a witness life, a life with the deeds He did at His age. That was a spiritual matter that we cannot fully understand, but we understood that it was the three days foretold about His life to go out and preach in the world. The work of salvation was finished in three days, the three days of His Resurrection. The number three was also the number in the Old Testament when God the Father chose Jonah to go to Nineveh. Jonah refused, ran away by boat, and ended up in a whale’s belly for three days. Jonah finally went to Nineveh to warn the people there and they repented and returned to God.

Speaking of this, we see the number three continuously. Why? We read that when Jesus was living in the world, choosing His apostles, He did not ask the other apostles, but instead, asked Saint Peter: “Peter, do you love Me?” He asked Saint Peter that question three times, then entrusted the Church to him. The number three is a reminder of the work of salvation when Jesus conquered death and resurrected after three days. What does this number three mean? The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Today, we see Mother Mary as the person who foretold us as She was looking for Jesus, but those three days of looking for Jesus were a way to tell us of the three days of His glorious Resurrection to save us. It was necessary to help us understand every work with a realistic view because we only read sporadically. When we read to understand, listen, and meditate, then it is different. At this time, the Holy Spirit wants us to know because it is related to the Five Holy Marks.

The work of God does not stop at some points, and we know that in every generation, in every era, and especially in every age, what He practiced has a meaning to help us. The Fifth Mystery of the Joyful reminds us to keep our gratitude to God. To be grateful does not mean we understand only when we mature or when we grow up, we can do this, or when we have a ministry, to do this or that. To keep our gratitude to God means to be in any situation where we feel sad and weak, we succeed or fail, or when we do not know nor understand, we persist. Let us be faithful and loyal to God, to the love for which the Savior came to the world to atone for the sins of humanity and save our lives in sin and death. Finally, we recall the Five Holy Marks, as Mother Mary reminded us.

Mother Mary does not remind us of all the suffering and failure, but She wants us to remember that because of sin, Jesus had to walk every step of the Way of the Cross. He sacrificed every step with excruciating pain to save us. In the end, it is still about saving and loving us. The good thief represents the world with the forgiveness God granted. God’s purpose is forgiveness and love. Today, Mother also wants to lead us to know that we need to remember the Way of the Cross to recall our sins, avoid sin, and stay away from iniquity. We see that the Fourteen Stations of the Cross are not automatically known to anyone and the world. Mother Mary initiated the Fourteen Stations of the Cross to lead people in the meditation about sin. Thanks to that meditation, we are resurrected and experience the extreme pain God suffered to atone for our sins. Finally, why is Mother teaching us about the Five Holy Marks?

The First Holy Mark, we honor and worship the Father, forever the Lord of love and Divine Mercy for the world to exist today. No matter how sinful we are, God’s Divine Mercy is still there and with us to have the opportunity to reform and improve. The Second Holy Mark requires us to believe that the Father sacrificed His only Son out of love for the world, and whoever believes in Him will live. Thus today, we must believe in the Lord Jesus as the Savior, the Redeemer, because we must believe in Him to listen and practice His teaching, to perform and be worthy to enter the eternal place. The Second Person of God gives us hope with a glorious and triumphant Resurrection. If we meditate on all this, we see the meaning from the beginning regarding each of the Mystery.

Today, the Third Holy Mark is the Holy Spirit. The light, love, and truth. If without His enlightenment, how can we know the Mystery? How can we understand that the program unites and teaches us deeply when we belong to God and pray the Rosary or pray by the way Mother teaches? The Holy Spirit enlightens and guides us to understand the depth, breadth, and meaning revealed to the human world at the end as we know it. Let us be grateful to have the Holy Spirit present and dwelling in us. If we listen to Him, the infinite abundance and infinity in the experience of God are never lost, and the words are sufficient for us to realize that everything belongs to God, attributed to God. When we listen to Mother’s teaching, there is depth and breadth in the feeling we offer to the Five Holy Marks today.

We thank the Holy Spirit for letting us know this. And what about the Holy Spirit? The First Holy Mark, the Second Holy Mark, and the Third Holy Mark: the three Persons in one God, the Trinity, whom we adore and honor. Finally, the anecdote of the Triune God is everlasting. People must understand, from the beginning of the creation to this day. The remaining and last period of the century and the final days of the end are for us to understand and believe in the works of God, which is the Eucharistic Jesus. Therefore, the Fourth Holy Mark belongs to the Eucharistic Jesus, which we cannot forget because He instituted the Eucharist to remain with us. He is present in spirituality among us. The Lord is the Supreme Being who still defends, protects, and guards. He is the world’s remaining hope for us to be touched, experience, and receive Him. He becomes our soul’s nourishment out of love, and we receive the offering by receiving Him into our hearts. There is security, a touch, and a feeling when we receive the Eucharistic Jesus, but we must not disrespect Him. We cannot let it be a habit; we cannot be indifferent or unfeeling toward the Eucharistic Jesus.

Today, we see the power of God has come, and He revealed His glory in the Fourth Holy Mark we offer to the Eucharistic Jesus. What we see helps us strengthen our faith and understand better the great mystery with which the Lord defends us and intercedes for us in this world. Our life of faith needs to change, to be stronger and bolder, for us to profess and be aware of the presence of God and the sublime wonder through the miracle of the Eucharist. The mystery from the Eucharistic Jesus confirms the extraordinary and marvelous deeds God does.

Who can give us the miracles that God does? God alone can, and through the miracles revealed, He grants us a life with depth through the prayer Mother taught us through the Five Holy Marks. Can we automatically speak of the Fifth Holy Mark? It is the Holy Spirit who wants us to because Mother is the One who teaches us to pray, and She is the One who meditates on the life of Jesus while He was on earth, with each age and each stage of the Cross. Jesus ended up on the Cross and said the last words to Mother. Today, the Holy Spirit teaches us to honor Mother. That is the Fifth Holy Mark: She walked with God, stayed with God, and accepted sufferings to set an example for us, to pray and sacrifice for us. Is there anything we know today without Mother? Is there anything we practice that Mother did not do first? Is there anything we can automatically understand without Mother?

Today, it is Mother Mary who teaches us to pray, and the fifth place of honor through the Fifth Holy Mark is Mother Mary. The Holy Spirit wants us to lift to Mother and unite in the Lord’s Five Holy Marks so that at the end of history, where we begin to have a new place of honor in God’s plan, that is the Sixth Kowtow offered to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. So, this is a beautiful sublimity quite challenging for us to understand; the Holy Spirit is the only Supreme Being who teaches us with the days of practice. And Mother leads us deeply into the meditation of the Five Holy Marks, teaching us that as we turn to the Cross, we must not lack reverence, and we cannot be indifferent and disrespectful when we look at the Cross. Why does every church have a Cross? Why did God stretch His arms? It is to embrace humanity. Our world forever receives that love and the work of salvation without exception, but we have denied God and separated ourselves.

Today, Mother wants us to give God one more chance to learn the truth through the Five Holy Marks. God is longing and waiting for us to return to Him. When we contemplate the Five Holy Marks, we recognize the love of the Divine Mercy that continues for us through the Father’s love that never refuses humanity. He loves us, loves us dearly, loves us to the point of sacrificing His only Son so that His Son can save us, set us free, and bring us back from the darkness into the light. His love became a deep love with His Son to become the Holy Spirit that dwells in us through every age, dwells in each person, with what is most beautiful,  excellent, in goodness, in truth. What is most holy and best comes from the Holy Spirit.

It is a great thing that the Trinity has done for us. What is accepted today? We come to the Eucharistic Jesus, but we do not know who He is and do not know what He is doing. What does the Holy Spirit teach us about the Eucharistic Jesus? He teaches us the history of the Eucharistic Jesus and the power of the Eucharistic Jesus. He teaches us to reform and improve our lives, which we do not deserve to do, but Mother Mary did it for us and the entire world. Thus, the Joyful Mysteries all have meaning with great depth through the great spirituality Mother practiced and taught us to go deeply into the Mystery of the Five Holy Marks of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Supreme Being who gloriously and triumphantly resurrected to bring life back to us. The value of His Blood will not be in vain when every one of our souls is redeemed and forgiven. However, we must repent, bow, prostrate, adore, reform, and bow before the Cross.

Thanks to the Cross, we were saved. Let us be grateful, apologize, and repent, to be worthy of what God is longing for. What we do today is not automatic, but the Holy Spirit wants us to offer to Mother. It is the Fifth Holy Mark that Mother represents to help us to understand the great Mystery that God grants. We learn from the Mother of God that She will never refuse us; She offers us humility, starting with the inquiry into the truth. Today, we bow in reverence and gratitude for what the Holy Spirit has done for us and for which the Father allows us to offer Mother the sixth offering for that place of honor to be set. The Five Holy Marks ended, but the Being who leads and represents our world is Mother Mary. Her triumph is Her Immaculate Heart because the devil is afraid of Mother. He fears Mother’s holiness, perfection, purity, absolute obedience, and humility. When Mother appears, he is terrified and must back down and give in.

The Holy Spirit teaches us to reverently lift Mother Mary with Her Immaculate Heart and Her triumph. We are doing and practicing it, so what can go wrong as long as we practice? We practiced with the gift of the Six Kowtows all these years in silence. It is not automatic that we have the right to bring it to the world. It is not automatic that the churches we go to, whether in this country or abroad, receive this gift to give to the parishioners. Although this gift is new and not yet accepted, God will have a way for all His children to come to Him because He is waiting for them through the Eucharist, and Mother leads them to God.

With Her presence and example, let us wait and see. Our world will have people who live in hope and will triumph between good and evil in this day and age. We must listen and practice as Mother taught because what She teaches is the basis to help us focus and turn more fervently toward God. In unity, surrender, gratitude, and the prostration of soul and body, let us ask God to accept our weak and imperfect gift of the end of history, to ask to follow His holy will, His way, and His decision for us.

We thank God for the meditation on the Joyful Mysteries. It is difficult for us to explain that when we pray the Rosary, it is the Holy Spirit who teaches us. God alone can teach fluently, clearly, and meaningfully. People need to accept this gift. Let us not be too rigid and infer too much and reason with the rules because God does not stop with what we have in the old days, but He gives us even more richness with what belongs to Him and brings us closer to Him. Let us be receptive in every aspect, role, class, and position to come to the Eucharistic Jesus. Let us take time and space from our busy schedules to seek God. He will not let us return empty-handed, and we will understand better because we still have Mother. Since this gift belongs to Mother, we are simply the chosen people to be pioneers and practitioners.

There is judgment, denial, and disapproval, and that is fine. It is something new, a surprise for today’s world, because, for so many years through generations, people living in the days only familiar with their way. The reverence due to God seems to be diminishing, and people are offending God in many ways. Because of this, Mother teaches us to return to the first position, not let this be lost, and lose even more, and offend God more and more, whether unintentionally or intentionally. We must worship God with our souls and hearts through practice, strength, courage, and unity as we come together to offer to God and to come to the Eucharistic Jesus.

We will certainly have a method, and we believe that God will have a way to intervene for us; no matter what happens, hope belongs to the Eucharistic Jesus. We will know that it was He who came to us, and He manifested the light of His Eucharist. God visited us with beautiful and marvelous pictures and revealed what heaven offers. He also grants us a successful outcome when we go out to sow the seeds of heaven given to us by Mother. It is for people to learn from that seed, for it to germinate, grow, and begin to bear fruit. All of these are God-given in today’s generation.

Today, on the Friday of the Octave after Christmas, we offer this meditation to God. For the first time in twelve years, I experience this profound meditation of the Joyful Mysteries. Thus, what is of this day is a new program God has set for us; we do not stop to listen or meditate but continue to spread this to the world as the Holy Spirit guides and gives us this Solemnity. The Lord said that in the next year, we would have a new program and new things that the world must accept to practice to walk in the way God has specially planned because of the approval God granted.

God accepted the offering of the Six Kowtows and granted us the Holy Spirit to teach us how to keep going and focused in prayer and meditation when we pray the Rosary and the Divine Mercy chaplet. He reminds us to pray with the Six Kowtows when we are in dangerous times. The gift of the Six Kowtows is also for the Church. It is Mother who taught us and helped us. May we have the opportunity to practice and meditate to know what is true, false, infinite, boundless, and the corruption and brokenness that does not belong to God. Even when we have good words or ideas, if there is no progress and no fruits, then we know they do not belong to God.

Let us lift to God today. In everything, God will have a way for the children who long. He waits for us through the beloved Mother who guards our souls and guides us. It is time for Mother to intervene because we are stuck in this world and scared. We see the situation with many who died and victims who suffered so much through the ages. Today, we ask for the intercession of the Eucharistic Jesus; Mother will be the advocate for those who listen, those who practice, and those who are determined to persevere and trust. With moments of faithfulness, we will see the intervening hand of the Almighty, giving us the new world we yearn for beyond our imagination.

We pray to ask for one thing; God grants us ten. God chastises us once, but He gives us back twice. We have the Lord, the Author of love; He is like that. Let us listen to Mother because She lives in this state and knows and guides us at the end of history. It does not matter how many challenges, trials, and events happen, but God is still the Supreme Being who rules over the world. He has the right to grant, intervene, and give us peace and happiness. God has the right to urge those who disobey into days of repentance; otherwise, when He comes with the light, the light will destroy them. Today, what we offer and say is all under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, for us to honor and thank God and thank the Infant Jesus. We praise Mother, the Mother who brought God to us through generations, but we rarely spend time with Her.

What is of this day is taught by the Holy Spirit, for us to honor and thank Mother through the Joyful Mysteries, to listen to Her teaching, and with Her to adore and serve God. Mother, please teach and lead us back to the Lord Jesus, Your Son, the Second Person of God. He saved the world, and in His Holy Name, we officially return to the Father in the eternal kingdom. God alone is the Supreme Being who guides, grants, and waits for us. But we must give up our bad sins and thoughts that cause us to stumble daily. We need to stay away from sin, repent, reform, and amend our lives to receive forgiveness from God’s Divine Mercy and be worthy to enter the place that Mother granted and waited for us and humanity. We thank, praise, and glorify God. In the holy name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our God. Amen.
