0 Comments June – Eucharistic Month (as I call it) goes with the WHITE ROSE for the FATHER per the Lord’s Prayer of “…give us this day our Daily BREAD [especially the Body of Christ]…” while July with the RED ROSE [the Blood of Christ] for the SON the Greatest Self-Sacrificer… while August with the YELLOW [-GOLD] ROSE [the Soul of Christ too] for the HOLY SPIRIT EnLIGHTener’ [& soul grace-gifter too per penance]… & September with the GOLD [the Divinity of Christ] for the HOLY TRIUNE ALL-GLORIOUS GOD.
For June to the tune of the hymn “I’ve got that joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart” we can have “I’ve got the Love of Our Eucharistic JESUS throughout my body, blood, heart, mind, soul & spirit especially throughout every day of the Daily Holy Mass, as He Jesus Christ so gifts us daily.” [Here from Blessed Anna Catharina Emmerick’s Life of Christ…] I have had a clear vision of Mary in her bridal dress. This gown was blue, embroidered with large Red, White, & Yellow ROSES & green leaves, something like the ancient vestments worn at Mass. The little girl [Salome] partook of the grapes & the bread that Jesus had blessed. He told her that for the future she should no longer live according to the flesh, but that she should eat of the Bread of Life, the Word of God, should do penance, believe, pray, and perform works of mercy [sacrifice]. Too, Mary Cleophas was quite exhausted by fever. Then Jesus grasped her by the hand & told her that she should no longer be sick. He directed them to give her to eat. He ordered to almost all of the sick whom He cured, and I heard that it bore some signification to the Most Blessed Sacrament. Jesus also gave people some instructions on prayer. They should, He said, pray in secret and not ostentatiously before others…. The ceremonies used by Noah [O.T.] when offering sacrifice reminded me of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. By prayer, sacrifice, and penance it [the Ark of the Covenant] appeared to grow larger. I saw Moses expose It – removed from the golden casket and veiled as the Blessed Sacrament is on Good Friday. I often saw the High Priest making use of It when he was alone in the Holy of Holies[….] The Superior at the time of St. Anne’s [mother of BVM] grandparents was a Prophet named Archos. He had visions in the cave of Elijah, referring to the coming of the Messiah… he exhorted to sacrifice & penance. He prayed prostrate on the earth before the altar. I saw that he had a vision of a ROSE-TREE with 3 branches. The parents of the BVM did penance, lived in continence [sacrifice] and often went to do prayer. They lived in continued prayer, sacrifice and [penance] mortification & continency [for 19+ years after birthing Mary, Who was Conceived Immaculately at the passage directly under the ‘Golden Gate’ in Jerusalem, where green and golden decorations sparkled in the rosy light that fell from above]. Of Mary’s little cradle as a Baby the lower coverlet was red, the upper one white, & on them She laid […] with tiny golden curls. I saw Mary’s Heart open & heavenly matter going into Her Heart like to the ostensorium in the tabernacle. With the entrance of this Sacrament into Mary’s Heart I saw the Child all penetrated by glowing fervor. [Later in life…] In Her left hand Mary carried a little garland of red and white roses made of silk, and in the right a beautiful candlestick covered with gold. [Later yet…] The apostles Peter and John whenever they went to Palestine visited the Holy House of Nazareth and celebrated Mass in it […] the back of that House had the fireplace as the altar of the Apostles [with half of that House miraculously transported to Loreto, which has the Crucifix that Mary had in Her 15 last years of life in Ephesus – many miracles took place before that Crucifix]. When the Archangel Gabriel left Mary after the Annunciation I saw down the path of light that led up to Heaven, showers of half-blown ROSES & tiny green leaves falling upon Mary. I saw also the Prophet Isaiah & his prophecy of the Virgin, and from him to Mary, visions of the approach of the Most Blessed Sacrament [….] At Jesus’s Birth — I saw fountains gushing forth and swelling, flowers springing up in many places, trees and plants budding with new life. [Of some shepherds in the evening at the Cave of the Nativity in Bethlehem –] They sang most sweetly before the Crib: ‘O Child, blooming as a Rose art Thou!’ Once Anne sent a beautiful little basket of fruit, with large newly-blown ROSES: the pink roses were paler than ours, almost flesh-colored, and there were some yellow, and some white. Mary was very much pleased, and placed it – the basket – beside Her. [Then later on — at the Presentation of the Baby Jesus in the Temple…] Mary shone like a ROSE! [Later on, with the Flight into Egypt…] I saw a very lovely miracle. On either side of the road, sprouted up the Rose of Jericho … at some future day the people of the country would gather these ROSES and sell them to travelers in exchange for BREAD. Fr.
