Mysteries
First Mystery: We contemplate Saint Gerard from a very young age having a great life of piety and deep prayer, loving with burning Love Jesus and His Immaculate Mother, deserving thus to see Them and to speak with Them in the Chapel of Capodanno and we learn of Him to cultivate always a sincere Faith, solid piety, ardent life of prayer and Love to Jesus, Mary and Joseph and to the Heavenly Things, to Holy Things, the Things of God.
Message of Saint Gerard Majella in Jacareí, 1 April 2017.
Practice the virtues, be working souls, for the lazy will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Work, work well for God to bring joy and contentment to Him, and also to gain merits for eternal life.
Work also well for your bosses in this world, so that you too can give Him joy and contentment. And even with your work done with love you can add merits to eternal life.
I always worked well for both God when I was in the convent, and for My bosses when I was in the world and in everything I was perfect.
Be perfect also in all that you do, for that is what holiness consists in.
I bless you all with love from Muro Lucano, from Materdomini and from Jacareí.»

Second Mystery: We contemplate Saint Gerard with heroic patience, suffering humiliations and injustices throughout His youth, then making ardent penances to help Jesus and Mary to save the souls of poor sinners.

Message of Saint Gerard Majella in Jacareí, 14 October 2012.
Be the second Heaven of Jesus and Mary, loving Them with all the strength of your heart. Giving Them completely your soul, your generous “YES” and giving yourselves, offering your life every day to Them so that the Holy Will of the Lord and the Mother of God may be fulfilled in it. Thus, you will be truly signs of Their presence and of Their love in the world. And then all souls will be finally enlightened and saved by the grace of God which will spread through you on all souls.»

Message of Saint Gerard Majella in Jacareí, 14 October 2012.
«Be the second Heaven of Jesus and Mary, seeking every day to fulfill Their holy Will and despising yours. Growing in the true love, surrendering yourselves more and more to the love of God and seeking at all times to respond to this love. Let yourself be burned by this love! Let yourselves be filled by this love! Let yourselves grow in this love that chose you, that elected you to know the Messages of the Apparitions of Jacareí and thus to become great saints and to save your souls. Live for this love. Give your whole life for this love. Love this love and this love will love you. Choose this love and He will choose you. Prefer this love, and he will prefer you to all others and will fill you with the abundance of his gifts and of his graces and will make you exceedingly beautiful in the eyes of the Lord and in the eyes of men.»

Forth Mystery: We contemplate Saint Gerard resurrecting the dead; expelling the plagues and the Demons; healing the sick; reconciling warring families and converting the most stubborn sinners. And we learn from Him always to work for the Salvation of souls, for the Kingdom of the Sacred Hearts on Earth, and to be signs of the presence of God in the World, radiating the Light of Holiness in this world enveloped in darkness.
Message of Saint Gerard Majella in Jacareí, 14 October 2012.
«Be the second Heaven of Jesus, Mary and Joseph seeking to imitate Jesus, Mary and Joseph in Their virtues, in Their Love, in Their generosity, in Their purity, innocence and goodness, and so your souls, like spring blossoms of spring, will grow and will truly become a beautiful garden to enchant Their Sacred Hearts and the Most Holy Trinity.
I, Gerard, will help you to grow more and more in virtues, in the perfect love. But I need your faithful, total “YES”, unreservedly, without limits, given to Jesus, to His Blessed Mother and to Saint Joseph so that I may lead you on this path of perfection.»

Fifth Mystery: We contemplate Saint Gerard growing more and more in Holiness throughout His life, reaching the summit of the perfection of Virtues; suffering cruel slanders that made Him suffer, and finally surrendering His soul to God at only 29 years old, and finally receiving the Reward in Heaven. And we learn from Him the renunciation of all sin, the detachment of our rebel will to the Will of God, the Perseverance in the practice of Virtues, so that one day we may also reach the Crown of Eternal Life.
Message of Saint Gerard Majella in Jacareí, 14 October 2012.
«Let the young men give their “YES” as I gave Jesus, embracing Him and embracing His cross, having no other wife than the Holy Cross, the Holy Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. Having no other bride than the Blessed Virgin, the heavenly bride of all souls who love Jesus and give their life completely to Jesus through Her. Loving nothing but the Sacred Redeemer in whom redemption is abundant.»
