| 1st - The
Resurrection of Jesus Christ |
|
In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn
toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other
Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake:
for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled
back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. And the angel answered
and said unto the women: "Fear not ye! For I know that ye seek Jesus,
which was crucified. He is not here. For he is risen, as he said".
(Mat 28,1-6)
The risen Jesus has proved that man,
together with Him, can have power over sin and therefore death. Jesus,
help raise us, deliver us from sin, from evil, give us Your light,
give us Your joy. Rekindle inside us the love, the faith, the
hopefulness, and the gift of prayer. Let us ask Mary for the gift of
an unshakeable faith.

| 2nd - The
Ascension of Jesus to Heaven |
|
And as they are speaking these things, Jesus
himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, "Peace to you";
being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves
to see a spirit. And he said to them, "Why are ye troubled? and
wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts? see my hands and my
feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh
and bones, as ye see me having." And having said this, he shewed to
them the hands and the feet. ... "And, lo, I do send the promise of my
Father upon you, but ye -- abide ye in the city of Jerusalem till ye
be clothed with power from on high." And he led them forth without --
unto Bethany, and having lifted up his hands he did bless them, and it
came to pass, in his blessing them, he was parted from them, and was
borne up to the heaven. (Luk 24,36-51)
Jesus, You have not deserted Your apostles
in anguish, but have given them the joy of knowing Jesus "glorified"
over 40 days . After Your Ascension, You granted to all those who seek
You the gift of recieving You in the Eucharist. Through Mary we trust
in you. Mary, give us the gift of hope.

| 3rd - The
Descent of the Holy Ghost
|
|
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they
were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound
from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house
where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues
like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all
filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as
the Spirit gave them utterance. (Act 2,1-4)
Jesus, inffuse us with the Comforter, the
Holy Ghost, enlighten us with the light of Your Spirit, with His
strength enter in the deepest parts of our hearts and heal us.
Deliver us, fill up our hearts with Your love. Make us apostles of
Yours, dear Lord. Let us ask Mary the gift of true love, the gift of
prayer from the heart.
"Come Holy Spirit, come by means of the powerful intercession of the
Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your well-beloved Spouse."

4th - The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven
|
|
Blessed art thou of the most high God above all
the women upon the earth; and blessed be the Lord God, which hath
created the heavens and the earth, which hath directed thee to the
cutting off of the head of the chief of our enemies. ... Thou hast
done all these things by thine hand: thou hast done much good to
Israel, and God is pleased therewith: blessed be thou of the Almighty
Lord for evermore. And all the people said, So be it. (Jdt
13,18-20; 15,10)
Now that Mary is raised into heaven, She
prays for Her sons and daughters, those sons and daughters Jesus left
Her when He was on the cross. Mary, pray for us, You know our fears,
take us into Your Heart, the Heart of a Mother. Help us now and in the
time of our death to be with You in Heaven. We ask of you a devotion
to Your Immaculate Heart, where we may take refuge in times of
trouble.

5th - The Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Heaven and
Earth
|
|
There appeared a great sign in heaven: a woman
clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head
a crown of twelve stars. (Rev 12,1)
Let us trust in Mary, Let us call to Her,
let us love Her, let us confide in Her, because She gives Her all to
us. We have a Mother in Heaven who is also a Queen; thus we need to
turn to Her with full faith and hopefulness. If we ask for something
while praying the Holy Rosary, it will be granted to us. Ask Her for
the gift of prayer, a prayer of the heart, said only for love, a
love for Her and Jesus. Let us also ask for a consistency of prayer,
to always be joined to Her Heart, and therefore to the Heart of
Jesus.
