Remain with Me, Learning from the Joyful Mysteries Lourdes Pinto, Dec 21, 2017 Message of the Lord to LC at Gethsemane, at the rock where Jesus prayed. 11/2/17 Love Crucified has been called to REMAIN with Me as I continue to shed tears for Jerusalem, to remain with Me in My continuous agony for souls, to participate with Me in the salvation of the world, as you choose daily to receive the brokenness of the souls I have placed in your lives and to suffer with Me for them. The time of the great destruction draws near, many souls will be lost, you will hear the wailing of Jerusalem throughout the world. Bring Me victim souls to suffer with Me to obtain graces of conversion for many souls, who otherwise, will be lost. Believe in the power of your hidden lives of suffering with Me. Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary I – THE ANNUNCIATION Mary gives her FIAT: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Luke 1:38 Mary’s life becomes her fiat of the Annunciation. We too gave our “fiat” to be Christ’s victim souls at the moment of our Love Crucified Covenant before His presence in the Blessed Sacrament. After Mary’s fiat, great trials, tribulations and sufferings fill her life, yet she remains faithful to her Covenant with God. MOC and MC, REMAIN with Christ as we are faithful daily to our LC Covenant. Therefore, on a regular basis, we must read, ponder and examine our lives according to what we said “yes” to. We must remain with our Lord daily in good times and bad, in sickness and in health, as His victim souls suffering all with Him. We must remain faithful to Christ in our covenant community by attending the cenacles and remaining in LC even when we don’t feel like it, when we’re tired, occupied with other projects, bored, etc. II – THE VISITATION Path #20, p.66. “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord.” My little one, these are the words from the mouth of My Mother as she enters the home of Elizabeth. Ponder these words with Me. My Mother lived her life in praise of the Father. She lived in the constant awareness of who the Father is. Her soul was in a constant state of awe. In the knowledge of the greatness and majesty of God, Mary also had perfect knowledge of herself; therefore, she states that she is the handmaid of the Lord. My daughter, I desire that you live more profoundly and perfectly in the knowledge of the grandeur, majesty and goodness of Abba, our Father. In this way, you will live more perfectly as My handmaid. The perfect and holy handmaid of the Lord, Mary Most Holy, is moved by the Holy Spirit to serve her cousin, Elizabeth. ​ How is it that Mary knew the promptings of the Spirit and could respond with courage and obedience even when she could not understand fully the Will of God? She REMAINED in SILENCE, PRAYER and PRAISE. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.” We must choose to REMAIN IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE of our lives – difficult job, difficult relationships, tribulations – PRAISING and THANKING GOD because we are men and women, like Mary, who have come to know personally the love of God, and therefore, we choose to live in perfect faith and abandonment to His Will, present in each circumstance of our lives. Remain in LONG SUFFERING (gift of the Holy Spirit= constancy in trials), in righteousness, trusting God. Long suffering (a fruit of the Holy Spirit –Gal.5,22-23) is perseverance, constancy under trials. Samson - Judges 13:2-5 on the wife of Manoah: “(she) was barren and had no children. And the angel of the LORD appeared to the woman and said to her, "Behold, you are barren and have no children; but you shall conceive and bear a son. Therefore beware, and drink no wine or strong drink, and eat nothing unclean, for lo, you shall conceive...
