Instructions for Children and Parents 113
love of God. We must reach the children. If we reach the children, we
will reach the world.
10. And He raised His arms and He ascended into heaven, but He left
behind the Apostles to carry out His work.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles
1. They were all gathered in an upper room, the Apostles and the Virgin
Mary. See the Virgin Mary. She is seated above the Apostles (in the
window). The Holy Spirit descends upon them in parted tongues of fire
and their hearts are transformed from fear to fearlessness.
2. They are filled with such vibrancy and fire that they go out into the
world to preach the Gospel message, the message of the love of God.
3. Let us meditate on the mystery of God’s love. Let us put aside all of the
distractions in our minds and focus only on His abundant love. He is
outpouring such love to us in this room as we pray the rosary. Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, remains in the tabernacle and longs to communicate
with us. He wants to be so close to us! He longs to be so close to
us! He is the sweetest and most tender lover. He is waiting and waiting
by the door of our hearts.
4. Jesus wants us to bring the children to Him. Children must be baptized
in the Holy Spirit. Children must pray to the Holy Spirit! Children
need to have the courage to stand up for God in the circles wherein
they mix this day. Many children are Godless. Many other children are
mocked for professing the faith, making the sign of the cross, or saying
grace. The children must go to Jesus. Teach the children about praying
to the Holy Spirit. It is through the Holy Spirit that they will be transformed
from fear to fearlessness. As the Apostles carried out the Gospel
message, so the children too will carry out the message of God’s love.
5. Many children sit idle all summer and are looking for things to do. Tell
them about the Junior Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters.
Encourage the children to pray. They need to pray. The Junior
Shepherds of Christ Associates is a movement to touch the youth of this
world.
6. We must circulate this rosary on the love of God. We must tell children
about the love of God.
7. Song: Come Holy Ghost
8. We must remain fearless, unattached, surrendering, and yielding. He is
giving to us abundant graces to carry His love into the world. His youth
will march on this world with hearts filled with fire for the love of God.
