Awaken Loves, Valentines Day and the Doorway to the New Moon Eclipse

Soon, soon, spring will be upon us…our lovely sun will illuminate the dark world that poor Persephone has been hostage in, by Lord Pluto/Hades.

Yes, the light is coming…more and more each day.

I hope you have all managed to survive and thrive through our dark journey into the long night.

I am nearly done writing my book.  Yes, after 10 years…when the Angel Gabriel came to me, as I was sitting in my back yard, the sun licking my being with his bright warmth…and I, thinking to myself as tears rolled down my face, wow…I am sitting in my backyard in the middle of the afternoon, enjoying my own home.  That has not happened in many, many years.
This was just after closing my 3rd and last store.

The Angel Gabriel, came and told me, Gloria, you have done a good job with your last mission, now it is time for a new one.  You are to write a book.

So, after creating essential oil blends for years and finally realizing that it was a business, one that helped me get through my own divorce and survive the closing of my first store.  The first store that I built when I was married, and having to start all over again, and that journey, and co-founding the first certified school for Holistic healing in Cleveland back in 2002, that became the Ohio Institute of Energetic Studies and would go on to morph into many other places, as I continued my own journey…it was time for me to have time.
It was time for me to write about that journey.

I give you this word to ponder today.  EM BODI MENT.

Knowing how I love words and etymology, anyone who has ever taken a class from me, knows I like the ‘root’ of things.  THE FOUNDATION STONE.

What we see in this word, is ‘MIND-BODY’.



We are told to seek and ye shall find, knock and the door will be opened unto you.  If you have read the chapter I sent out, ‘The Living Word of God’…then you know, scriptures come from the actual living of the WORD.

First there was the word, and the word was with God.



Well, after living through the process of literally being on the World Cross, from its origins with Uranus square to Pluto/Hades…with my own sun at the critical 13* Libra, that the square that became the cross as other planets transited through our amazing heavens and backed up and over it, over and over again.
I know that I LIVED ON THAT CROSS.  I bled on that cross…and as usual, my being is designed to ‘open the book’…through the living of the WORD.

And so, this is how I can tell you with all certainty that we are finally coming off THAT major cross in the Cardinal Signs of: Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.  Now all those signs still have other transits taking place, Uranus the first of the ‘sky gods’ and the planet of sudden changes and brilliances, ‘the aha’ you get when  you really and truly learn something amazing that was staring you in the face, all along, is still in Aries at 25*.  So, Aries will definitely still be going through ‘changes’…that sometimes come ‘out of the blue’ and especially so if you have planets or points that are within 3-5 degrees of that.

As for the other Cardinal signs; that means that Libra is being opposed by Uranus, Cancer and Capricorn are being squared, and none of that is necessarily ‘fun times’ though it can bring wonderful changes or unexpected events ‘out of the blue’ that are absolutely wonderful and what you can build on.

Pluto/Hades, lord of death and RESURRECTION’, who is still enjoying the company of Persephone, is at 20* of Capricorn, which can still be challenging for Capricorns who, like Leo’s and Aquarian’s, are experiencing drastic endings and new beginnings, is also still opposing Cancer’s and squaring Libra’s and Aries.  What have I told you about ‘SQUARES’?  IT IS CHALLENGING, BUT IT IS ALSO WHAT YOU BUILD WITH.  BUILD YOUR HOME UPON A ROCK.

Now, as I mentioned, Leo’s and Aquarius’s are experiencing their own good times, because of the ‘major eclipses’ that began with the full solar eclipse last August 21st with the new moon at 28* of Leo.  That was and still continues to be a MAJOR TRANSIT for the ‘FIXED SIGNS’…LEO, SCORPIO, AQUARIUS, AND TAURUS.  Remember, that solar eclipse had people driving for miles and flying in from all over the world, to get a glimpse of what was only visible, IN THE UNITED STATES.  It was as I call it, the first band of the cross that will continue to be formed and REVEAL AND OPEN THE UNITED STATES WHEN THE OTHER BAND OF THAT CROSS IS FORMED ON APRIL 8TH 2024. 

This is the other doorway to that eclipse on August, the small door...happening on February 15th at 5:05 pm EST, when the sun and moon will conjunct at 27* of Aquarius.  Mercury/Hermes is not far behind adding to the trio at 25* AQ. (the water bearer).  This is the time to set your intentions for the light and love you wish to grace this world, for your own gifts to emerge.  It is also an ending for many, old jobs, old loves, and leaving the past behind.  Jupiter/Zeus at 22* Scorpio is also forming a square to this new beginning, expanding what you bring up from the deep, and as Jupiter reflects back 3X’s the light of the sun, so too, will he reflect back the light you cast upon the world.
Saturn/EL at 6* of Capricorn, is forming a nice sextile to Venus/Aphrodite (ruler of love and what you love) at 6* PIsces flying to meet up with Neptune who is ruling the oceans at 13* PIsces.

At that time, 5:05 pm (magic numbers, 5 + 5=10…The Wheel of Fortune Card, and new beginnings with gifts you have learned along the way, empowering this new venture. Laluna will stand in front of our sun, (meaning the sun is at her back) and they are creating a BRAND NEW CYCLE.  Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, it is the water bearer, but is a masculine air sign.
What water shall you quench the thirst of the community with?
But you see, in all of this, we are no longer in that SQUARE FROM URANUS TO PLUTO THAT FORMED THE CROSS THAT HAS CHANGED THE WORLD.

Jesus, dies on His cross.  He falls three times with that cross.  Veronica comes to
wipe his face, which of course, becomes the ‘Veil of Veronica’.

STATION SIX  (Please reread the ‘Stations of the Cross’…which I have learned through living, is teaching us about our own journey and the astrological heavens.  As a reminder, there are 3 crosses in astrology.  There are 3 crosses on Golgotha. (Skull mountain/morte).

VERONICA WIPES THE FACE OF JESUS WITH HER VEIL

V. We adore Thee, O Lord Jesus Christ, and bless Thee.

R. Because by Thy holy Cross Thou hast redeemed the world.

The Veil of Veronica

Seraphia had prepared some excellent aromatic wine, which she piously intended to present to our Lord to refresh him on his dolorous way to Calvary. She had been standing in the street for some time, and at last went back into the house to wait. She was, when I first saw her, enveloped in a long veil, and holding a little girl of nine years of age whom she had adopted, by the hand; a large veil was likewise hanging on her arm, and the little girl endeavoured to hide the jar of wine when the procession approached. Those who were marching at the head of the procession tried to push her back; but she made her way through the mob, the soldiers, and the archers, reached Jesus, fell on her knees before him, and presented the veil, saying at the same time, ‘Permit me to wipe the face of my Lord.’ Jesus took the veil in his left hand, wiped his bleeding face, and returned it with thanks. Seraphia kissed it, and put it under her cloak. The girl then timidly offered the wine, but the brutal soldiers would not allow Jesus to drink it. The suddenness of this courageous act of Seraphia had surprised the guards, and caused a momentary although unintentional halt, of which she had taken advantage to present the veil to her Divine Master. Both the Pharisees and the guards were greatly exasperated, not only by the sudden halt, but much more by the public testimony of veneration which was thus paid to Jesus, and they revenged themselves by striking and abusing him, while Seraphia returned in haste to her house.

    No sooner did she reach her room than she placed the woollen veil on a table, and fell almost senseless on her knees. A friend who entered the room a short time after, found her thus kneeling, with the child weeping by her side, and saw, to his astonishment, the bloody countenance of our Lord imprinted upon the veil, a perfect likeness, although heartrending and painful to look upon. He roused Seraphia, and pointed to the veil. She again knelt down before it, and exclaimed through her tears, ‘Now I shall indeed leave all with a happy heart, for my Lord has given me a remembrance of himself.’ The texture of this veil was a species of very fine wool; it was three times the length of its width, and was generally worn on the shoulders. It was customary to present these veils to persons who were in affliction, or over-fatigued, or ill, that they might wipe their faces with them, and it was done in order to express sympathy or compassion. Veronica kept this veil until her death, and hung it at the head of her bed; it was then given to the Blessed Virgin, who left it to the Apostles, and they afterwards passed it on to the Church.

So, Jesus is ‘HUNG ON THE CROSS’, He is bleeding to death and the soldier’s pierce His side and water and blood flow out…’water and wine’.

Mary Magdalene has anointed him, with burial oils… (Spikenard among others) and now, HE ROLLS AWAY THE STONE.

Just wait until you read the part of my journey, and ‘the triangle rock’.

Now, Mary Magdalene, is in the GARDEN, knowing Her Master/Adonai, should appear…remember, SHE KNOWS HE WILL BE THERE.  SHE HAS ANOINTED HIM WITH THE OILS THAT WOULD HELP HIM.  SHE KNOWS.

Mark, 16:9 Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

8 So they left the tomb and ran away, overwhelmed with shock and amazement. And in their fear they did not say a word to anyone. 9 After Jesus had risen, early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had driven out seven demons. 10 She went and told those who had been with Him, who were now mourning and weeping.…Thus Mary Magdalene was the first person to see Jesus in His resurrection and the first person sent to tell others of the resurrected Jesus. In this sense she is the first "apostle of the Gospel of the resurrection,”

Take note, that it is SEVEN DEMONS…and we have SEVEN CHAKRA’.

And so, with this in mind as we are upon the feast of St. Valentine, we have made a special blend for you to anoint yourself, your lover, those you love, with this in mind.  That you are anointing that Christ-self within, to bring the Light of the World upon you and onto this little blue ball, who so very much needs that light now. 

You will receive instructions for the anointing, this special 1 dram blend and the first 5 orders will also receive a special Strawberry or Rose quartz stone.

This special blend, though similar to ‘Sensual Healing’ will be quite different as some oils will not be present, but we are adding ‘Neroli’ which is one of the most exquisite and thus expensive oils there are.  It is also known as ‘Orange Blossom’. This oil is extracted by steam distillation of flowers of neroli which has the botanical name Citrus aurantium, C. bigaradia or by its other name, Citrus vulgaris.

Neroli is one of the best essential oils to help you climb, like Persephone out of the dark underworld of Hades lair of depression. Neroli can even help relieve chronic depression. Imagine a lovely green meadow soft under your feet, with the sun, warming up above and a beautiful orange tree stands in the center of the field.  The orange blossoms open and the volatile (which comes from (‘volare’ to fly) essences fly through the air with every new breath you take, a feeling of grace, joy and happiness now lifts you into wonderful paradise on earth.  Essences or essential as in ‘essential oils (from ‘esse’ to be or to exist, where your home is.  It is where the word, Essenes comes from, and they are also known as the theraputea, or healers/medicine men and women.)

It vibrates to the 2nd and 4th chakra’s, according to Jeannie Rose.  Valnet lists the properties of Neroli as diminishing cardiac contractions, dulls the nerves and lightly hypnotic.  It is indicated for cardiac spasm, chronic diarrhea and insomnia.

It not only increases the libido, it can also help cure loss of interest in sex, frigidity, impotence, and erectile dysfunctions. Like the other absolute in this blend, Jasmine, it will help to promote romantic and stimulate sexual feelings, even in older people and those who may have not had sexual interest for years.

This oil can be used, ‘neat’…in rare occasions as a drop onto a wound, to help from getting infections or tetanus.

Principle chemical constituents: Terpene alcohols, esthers: linalol, geraniol, nerol.

We add this lovely scent from heaven to some old favorites, Clary Sage, Patchouli, Jasmine, Lavender and others for a most delicious scent.

This will be carried in a pure organic jojoba base.

It is called: Valentinus Officinalis.  1/8 dram:

Available only through ArcAncient Distributors: $22.00 for LIMITED TIME OFFERING.

Hanging On The Stations of the Cross in Astrology

The whole bible is an astrotheological treatise that is instructional, if you seek, you will find.
12 Apostles=12 Astrology signs, etc.
EL=GD of Old Testament.  ANG-EL, MICHA-EL, ARI-EL, ISRA-EL, EL=GD.  EL-e MENT, GD-MIND. Earth, Air, Fire and Water, Gd Mind the elements.
This is my own belief, that the Stations of the Cross, are also an allegory, (like everything Jesus taught to the 'masses', parables not the private instruction He gave to His disciples.)
See here: 10 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable. 11And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 12That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them. ~Mathew 13:10

 As the heavenly spheres, or Seraphim, evolve and aspect both the World chart and your personal chart, each HOUSE (MY FATHER'S HOUSE HAS MANY MANSIONS) will be affected via that transit. Every degree in astrology is a mansion.
Note, that Jeshua falls on all the 'angular' houses.  ANG-EL's.  Or, where there is an actual 'crossroads'.

The Stations of the Cross

 When following this now, it might open up a different perspective:
I.             Leader: We adore Thee, O Christ, and bless Thee.
All: Because by Thy holy cross Thou hast redeemed the world.

Jesus, you stand all alone before Pilate. Nobody speaks up for you. Nobody helps defend you. You devoted your entire life to helping others, listening to the smallest ones, caring for those who were ignored by others. They don't seem to remember that as they prepare to put you to death.

As a child, sometimes I feel alone. Sometimes I feel that others don't stand up for me and defend me when I am afraid. Sometimes I don't feel like I am treated fairly, especially if I am scolded or corrected.

As an adult, sometimes I feel abandoned and afraid as well. Sometimes I too, feel like I am treated unfairly or blamed for things unfairly. I have a hard time when people criticize me at home or at work.


Help me be grateful for what you did for me. Help me to accept criticism and unfairness as you did, and not complain. Help me pray for those who have hurt me.


My Jesus, often have I signed the death warrant by my sins; save me by Thy death from that eternal death which I have so often deserved.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory Be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.

I.                Leader: We adore Thee, O Christ, and bless Thee.

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.

II.              Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Jesus, as you accepted your cross, you knew you would carry it to your death on Calvary. You knew it wouldn't be easy, but you accepted it and carried it just the same.

As a child, sometimes I don't like the problems that come my way. Sometimes I try to get others to take care of them or solve them for me. Sometimes I become upset and crabby when I'm asked to do even the smallest thing to help others.

As an adult I sometimes feel like I'm not appreciated. Sometimes I feel as if I accept more responsibility that I need to. I can feel sorry for myself, even though the crosses others carry are much larger than my own. In my self-pity, I don't reach out to help.

My Jesus, Who by Thine own will didst take on Thee the most heavy cross I made for Thee by my sins, oh, make me feel their heavy weight, and weep for them ever while I live.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory Be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.

III.            Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Jesus, the cross you have been carrying is very heavy. You are becoming weak and almost ready to faint, and you fall down. Nobody seems to want to help you. The soldiers are interested in getting home, so they yell at you and try to get you up and moving again.

As a child, sometimes I start to do something, but then get tired of it. I hurry to get finished and sometimes don't do my work well. Sometimes I don't pay attention to what I should be doing. When things get hard for me, sometimes I give up.

As an adult, I sometimes put things off. I give up too easily, and sometimes don't

 
do my work as well as I know I can.

My Jesus, the heavy burden of my sins is on Thee, and bears Thee down beneath the cross. I loathe them, I detest them; I call on Thee to pardon them; may Thy grace aid me never more to commit them.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory Be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.

IV.
Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Jesus, you feel so alone with all those people yelling and screaming at you. You don't like the words they are saying about you, and you look for a friendly face in the crowd. You see your mother. She can't make the hurting stop, but it helps to see that she is on your side, that she is suffering with you. She does understand and care.

As a child, sometimes I feel like too many things are going on. Sometimes other kids pick on me and call me names. I need to look around me for a friendly face, and for the help I need. I need to share my troubles with those who truly care about me.

As an adult I sometimes feel overwhelmed by many things. Life is so competitive, and I worry so much about my future and those who have some control over it. I need to remember that being an adult does not mean having to solve every problem all by myself. I need to look around me for a friendly face, for the help I need.

Jesus most suffering, Mary Mother most sorrowful, if, by my sins, I caused you pain and anguish in the past, by God's assisting grace it shall be so no more; rather be you my love henceforth till death.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.
V.           Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Jesus, the soldiers are becoming impatient. This is taking longer than they wanted it to. They are afraid you won't make it to the hill where you will be crucified. As you grow weaker, they grab a man out of the crowd and make him help carry your cross. He was just watching what was happening, but all of a sudden he is helping you carry your cross.

As a child, sometimes I see people who need my help. Sometimes I pretend not to hear when my parents call me. I disappear when I know others could use my help.

As an adult, sometimes I try to do as little as I can and still get by. Others might need my help, but I ignore their needs. Even when I'm asked to help, I sometimes claim to be too busy.

My Jesus, blest, thrice blest was he who aided Thee to bear the cross. Blest too shall I be if I aid Thee to bear the cross, by patiently bowing my neck to the crosses Thou shalt send me during life. My Jesus, give me grace to do so.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.
VI.            Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Jesus, suddenly a woman comes out of the crowd. Her name is Veronica. You can see how she cares for you as she takes a cloth and begins to wipe the blood and sweat from your face. She can't do much, but she offers what little help she can.

As a child, sometimes I know someone could use a little help and understanding. They may be picked on or teased by others, or just sad or lonely. Sometimes I feel bad that others don't step in to help, but I don't help either.

As an adult, I notice the needs around me. Sometimes my own family members crave my attention, and I don't even seem to notice. Sometimes a co-worker, friend, or family member could use help or understanding, but I don't reach out to help lest I be criticized, or that they demand more of me than I'd like to give.

My tender Jesus, Who didst deign to print Thy sacred face upon the cloth with which Veronica wiped the sweat from off Thy brow, print in my soul deep, I pray Thee, the lasting memory of Thy bitter pains.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.
VII.        Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

This is the second time you have fallen on the road. As the cross grows heavier and heavier it becomes more difficult to get up. But you continue to struggle and try until you're up and walking again. You don't give up.

As a child, sometimes things get me down. Others seem to find things easier to do or to learn. Each time I fail, I find it harder to keep trying.

As an adult, sometimes I think I should know more than I do. I become impatient with myself and find it hard to believe in myself when I fail. It is easy to despair over small things, and sometimes I do.

Help me when things seem difficult for me. Even when it's hard, help me get up and keep trying as you did. Help me do my best without comparing myself with others.

My Jesus, often have I sinned and often, by sin, beaten Thee to the ground beneath the cross. Help me to use the efficacious means of grace that I may never fall again.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have Mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.
VIII.        Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Jesus, as you carry your cross you see a group of women along the road. As you pass by you see they are sad. You stop to spend a moment with them, to offer them some encouragement. Although you are have been abandoned by your friends and are in pain, you stop and try to help them.

As a child, sometimes I think a lot about myself. I think about what I want and would like people to spend their lives pleasing me.

As an adult, sometimes I act like a child. I become so absorbed in myself and what I'd like that I forget about the needs of others. I take them for granted, and often ignore their needs.

Help me think more about others. Help me remembers that others have problems, too. Help me respond to them even when I'm busy or preoccupied with my own problems.

My Jesus, Who didst comfort the pious women of Jerusalem who wept to see Thee bruised and torn, comfort my soul with Thy tender pity, for in Thy pity lies my trust. May my heart ever answer Thine.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have Mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.
IX.         Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Jesus, your journey has been long. You fall again, beneath your cross. You know your journey is coming to an end. You struggle and struggle. You get up and keep going.

As a child, sometimes I fail time and time again. I find it hard to get along with my sisters and brothers, sometimes I'm not honest, sometimes I'm lazy. I'm tempted to stop trying. It's just too hard sometimes.

As an adult, I often feel I should have conquered my weaknesses by now. I become discouraged when I'm confronted by the same problems over and over again. Sometimes I get weary. When I have health problems, I can become discouraged and depressed.

Help me think of the cross you carried. Help me continue to hope that I can make the changes in my life I need to. You didn't give up. I can have the strength to get up again as well.

My Jesus, by all the bitter woes Thou didst endure when for the third time the heavy cross bowed Thee to the earth, never, I beseech Thee, let me fall again into sin. Ah, my Jesus, rather let me die than ever offend Thee again.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in Peace.
All: Amen.
X.           Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

The soldiers notice you have something of value. They remove your cloak and throw dice for it. Your wounds are torn open once again. Some of the people in the crowd make fun of you. They tease you and challenge you to perform a miracle for them to see. They're not aware that you'll perform the greatest miracle of all!

As a child, sometimes I'm tempted to repeat stories I know are unclean and disrespectful. I sometimes try to act grown up by using crude and bad words.

As an adult, sometimes I repeat stories that are disrespectful of others. I can entertain thoughts that are not clean. Sometimes I give the young people around me a bad example to follow.

Help me to keep myself pure and clean. Help me say things that build up the people around me. Help me overcome worldly desires that I may become more like Jesus. Help me set a good example for others to follow.

My Jesus, stripped of Thy garments and drenched with gall, strip me of love for things of earth, and make me loathe all that savors of the world and sin.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.
XI.         Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

You are stretched out on the cross you have carried so far. The soldiers take big nails and drive them into your hands and feet. You feel abandoned by the people you loved so much. People seem to have gone mad. You have done nothing but good, yet they drive nails through your hands and feet.

As a child, sometimes I hurt others. Sometimes I join with friends and decide not to like another. We gang up against another and cause them hurt and pain. Sometimes I say or do hurtful things to my brothers and sisters. I can wonder what they'd think about themselves if they believed everything I told them about themselves.

As an adult, sometimes I discriminate against others. Even without thinking, I judge others because of their color, intelligence, income level or name. I forget that I am to live as a brother or sister to all people. Sometimes I use harsh words when I speak to my children and family members. I can find it easy to look for something that isn't very important and make it very important.

Help me look again at the people around me. Help me see the hurt and pain I have caused in others. Be with me to help me make amends for the harm I have done.

My Jesus, by Thine agony when the cruel nails pierced Thy tender hands and feet and fixed them to the cross, make me crucify my flesh by Christian penance.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen
Leader: We adore you, O Christ, and we praise you.
All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

As Jesus hung on the cross, he forgave the soldiers {compassion of the 12th house and PIsces} who had crucified him, and prayed for his mother and friends. Jesus wanted all of us to be able to live forever with God, {Neptune/12th house all is ONE} so he gave all he had for us.

Jesus, let me take a few moments now to consider your love for me. Help me thank you for your willingness to go to your death for me. Help me express my love for you!

My Jesus, three hours didst Thou hang in agony, and then die for me; let me die before I sin, and if I live, live for Thy love and faithful service.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in

peace.
All: Amen.

All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Jesus, how brutally you were put to death. How gently your are taken from the cross. Your suffering and pain are ended, and you are put in the lap of your mother. The dirt and blood are wiped away. You are treated with love.

As a child, sometimes I treat others better when they're sad or in pain. When somebody dies, I become very gentle and kind. I notice the good and kind things people say about those who have died.

As an adult, I seem to be kinder when someone dies. If only I could learn to see the good things about them while they were alive. If only I would tell those around me how much I love them, while I still have the opportunity to do so.

Help me look for the good in those around me, especially those I love the most. Help me live this day as if it were the last. Help me become a more gentle and loving person through my greater appreciation for those around me.

O Mary, Mother most sorrowful, the sword of grief pierced thy soul when thou didst see Jesus lying lifeless on thy bosom; obtain for me hatred of sin because sin slew thy Son and wounded thine own heart, and grace to live a Christian life and save my soul.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: Have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.

All: Because by your holy cross You have redeemed the world.

Jesus, your body is prepared for burial. Joseph gave you his own tomb. He laid your body there and rolled a large stone in front of it, then went home. What a sad day it has been for so many people.

As a child, sometimes I try to keep everything for myself. I find it hard to share my things with my brothers or sisters and with my friends.

As an adult, I can be selfish too. I can accumulate things and keep them for myself. I try to make sure I have what I want before I share what I have with anybody else.

Help me think of Joseph of Arimathea, who risked his own life as he accepted Jesus' body for burial. Help me think of how Joseph loved Jesus so much that he gave him his own tomb.

My Jesus, beside Thy body in the tomb I, too, would lie dead; but if I live, let it be for Thee, so as one day to enjoy with Thee in heaven the fruits of Thy passion and Thy bitter death.

Our Father.... Hail Mary.... Glory be to the Father....

Leader: Jesus Christ Crucified.
All: have mercy on Us.
Leader: May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in peace.
All: Amen.
