Messenger:
Jesus loved Judas so much and he betrayed
Jesus. We must contemplate how much
God loves the souls He gave Himself to
them in the Eucharist and how the gift
of Himself is treated as if it is of
no account by many.
We must say the prayer the angel
told the children at Fatima
5"Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners."
5. Our Lady's Peace Plan, op. cit., p. 2.
From Spirituality of Fatima by Edward J. Carter S.J.

Messenger: God waits for us to come.
God gives us our breath and
He is treated with
such disrespect,
such dishonor.
Love gives.
We see Jesus giving Himself for love
of us on the cross.
January 27, 2006 message continues
Messenger: Love gives.
Love gives.
Love gives.
Those who love can be treated like
Jesus was.
Judas betrayed his friend,
Jesus and Jesus loved
him so much.
We see jealousy in the scriptures Look at
Joseph and his brothers
Cain and Abel.
Our focus is to love to be one.
John 17: 21-23
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.
January 27, 2006 message continues
Messenger: Satan's way is the way to doom and division.
Man has a fallen human nature.
He is imperfect.
7 Capital Sins
Pride, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth
Messenger: A priest at
church with wide insight
spoke of how the church (not
Catholic) a new church formed
by the people was made up of
75% Catholics that left the
Catholic Church.
I felt as if a sword went into my
stomach and I wanted to cry,
as he spoke delivering this information,
because we have the Eucharist in the Catholic
Church, Jesus truly present in His
Divinity and humanity no less present
than when He walked the earth.
I wanted to cry and say
why didn't they know how precious
the Eucharist is, how great the
gift of the Catholic Church is.
The priest continued so insightfully
what happens is the people have
problems because of the imperfect
human nature and they think if they
leave and go elsewhere that then they
will not have problems
But fleeing is no solution
As long as imperfect persons
are in the other place or new
place, you will have the same
problems because of original sin.
7 Capital Sins
Pride, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth
Messenger:
We need to stay and help with the reform
How many marriages are ruined
because people did not want to
work in love with each other, thinking
the grass is greener on the other side
of the fence.
One woman married five men,
who she thought all had the same
problem, the problem was hers.
A little psychology my brother,
a priest said something about people
resisting change so very much they
don't want, many times, to say they
did anything wrong He said the only
one wanting a change usually is
a baby with a dirty diaper.
People have all kinds of habits and
ways of acting from childhood they
may not be aware of. A child may
create much problems with a
mother wishing to be #2 in the
family daddy is #1, why let mom
be #2 if the child can compete for
that spot with the mother and the
father gives into the affections of the
child.
Playing games are for children.
There are ways of doing things maturely
and with finesse respecting others
in love even though things may be
coming to an end.
The devil wants people to lie, to
deceive, to be sneaky.
Jesus speaks: "I am the way, the truth and the life"
First to your own self be true.
The Spirit will act and live in you as
you unite more deeply to Me.
Two men stood before a pulpit
One spoke as the Spirit filled him,
Another was caught inside.
When I give messages through My messenger,
I speak through her, projecting
to you the fire of My love.
I give to you My Word in the scriptures
A priest delivering the Gospel can
speak the Word as a two-
edged sword.
Now let Me talk of dysfunction.
Pain is passed on from generations
past, a person must get in touch
with the pain in their heart.
I give to you each other to love.
When pain or abuse has been so severe
in a child, when they have not
had the proper interaction with
others they must at some point
learn these socialization skills.
An enemy of oneself is lies told to
present a perfect self.
1 John 1: 8-10 - 2: 1-2
If we say, We have no sin,
we are deceiving ourselves,
and truth has no place in us;
if we acknowledge our sins,
he is trustworthy and upright,
so that he will forgive our sins
and will cleanse us from all evil.
If we say, We have never sinned,
we make him a liar,
and his word has no place in us.My children, I am writing this
to prevent you from sinning;
but if anyone does sin,
we have an advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ, the upright.
He is the sacrifice to expiate our sins,
and not only ours,
but also those of the whole world.
January 27, 2006 message continues
Jesus speaks: In the end there will
be no more
lies. Satan is the father of
lies. When one does not
tell the truth because of
pain, the spontaneous child
inside is blocked.
When Marvin was filled with cancer
his body could not function
because the cancer was affecting
all the organs.
When someone has a life of lies
and deception trying to prove
they are perfect
When they fail to forgive and
make up give and take as
is necessary for ordinary
interaction
A Bolder builds inside of
them - years of unforgiveness
unfinished relationships, game playing,
imperfections denied, hidden pain
from the past stuffed with layers
of skin like a thick onion around
the spontaneous joy of one's heart.
Joy is found in Me.
Joy is found in the truth.
Addictive, Compulsive behaviors
are used to cover up pain
You have a body
not eating will cause problems
of depression in the brain
of a person.
not sleeping will cause a person
to be on edge
I give you the sun by day.
I give you the moon at night.
The devil works in pride, jealousy, lust,
envy he works when the defenses
are down on a holy soul.
Doing God's will is always the answer.
Doing God's will in love.
If a person is strong willed about their
habits they can through time
continue to press and press to put
their dysfunctional ways into play.
Messenger: When I first was under
Fr. Carter's spiritual
direction, 1994, I fasted for three
days on water
Fr. Carter told me don't you ever
fast like that again it was
against God's will.
He told the people, Jesus didn't want
the workers in the Movement to
fast from food because they
had a very strenuous life.
Jesus speaks: Many in this Movement and
other
communities are taken out
because of their diets. They
make up a diet for themselves
that keeps their weight down
or someone tells them (not a
real doctor) is the way to go
then the imbalance starts little
carbohydrates or little sugar to
the brain and they become so
difficult to live with and satan
has taken out someone because
they do not eat a balanced diet
and they are never happy because
of it. You can give into satan
controlling your life by giving
yourself a regimented diet
health foods that may be banned
by the American Health Food Commission.
Taking things in excess because
"so-called-nutritionist" without training
can cause people constant
depression and the brain does not
get the proper nutrients and the
person becomes hard to get along
with - they can be so rigid on their
diets that no one could help them
they obey their own diet given from
someone (not a doctor) or trained properly,
like the ten commandments. Their
constant lack of joy should tell
them something is wrong with their
diet.
Messenger:
Fr. Carter under obedience told me
I needed to be in bed by 11:00.
If I did not obey the Blue Books
would not have been written.
Some people have problems reverting
to the past. They, at some trigger,
go back to unfinished painful relationships
of the past and start projecting old
anger and pain from unmet needs on
innocent others standing by. They believe
that the "noise" or "whatever-got-them-
started" is the right they have to act
irrationally.
It is so automatic for some they
respond in temper-tantrums,
yelling and the others are standing
by like one standing on a corner
when a big bus splashed dirty
water from the curb all over them.
Anything similar to the past
to the hurt person acting irrationally
unmet-needs can act as a trigger and
they truly believe the people they
are with now, deserve their wrath or
temper-tantrum because they
feel this surge of emotion inside like
a red hot poker that starts to burn
and they begin to act in violence
accordingly or in a tantrum.
They then block the seriousness
of this erratic behavior from their
mind and act like nothing happened
while all the people on the corner
who once had clean clothes now
wear dirty water soiled clothes
from the BIG BUS.
These people have failed to really
engage in relationships with
significant others. They never
learned the socialization skills
and never admitted the blow-ups
or temper-tantrums.
A baby needs attention and love
when parents teach children to be
gamblers, they can learn it easily
when parents are unfaithful, flirtatious
children can learn to be this way
easily.
Things that are dysfunctional,
not right, can be taught to children
and if tolerated in the home or
encouraged as normal (when in fact
it is abnormal, very abnormal)
the person will automatically act this
way around others, not even seeing
they have a problem, trying to blame
others for not putting up with their
dysfunction.
A new house the same play
like a traveling circus
they put on the same show wherever
they go it is them
they think it is normal it is
not normal, but dysfunctional,
but they have functioned in
this dysfunctionality at home.
If the circus comes and it is
not any good who will come.
A person with bad habits is like
the baby after diapers they
didn't want any other changes
unless they are rooted in the
Spirit and want to change.
Pride keeps the people stuck.
Competition, argument, anger,
pride are from the devil
He wants an argument and
division,
He wants you isolated
NO JOY
NO HAPPINESS
NO ONENESS
When asked to teach Fr. Carter's class
at College on Chapter 8 in
Response to God's Love
(which I always did for Fr. Carter
a lot of time)
I would
begin - what would you
like in a significant other and
they wrote
Loving
Forgiving
Kind
Reliable ...
It was like Jesus.
The Things they didn't want was
Argumentative
Prideful
Jealous
Unreliable
Not forgiving ...
Jesus is love
In studying Jesus we learn to love
But others who have been taught
dysfunctional ways and
like a ball going down a
hill they just keep doing
them until they try to relate
with others outside the family.
A dysfunctional family can all be
dysfunctional making everybody
do their dance
if somebody wants to get out
of the dance they don't
like it.
In children of alcoholics a person working
on recovery can go home and be put
right in (for example) the old familiar
"scapegoat role".
In alcoholic families there is a pattern,
the enabler, the hero, the scapegoat ...
One problem in relationships
is working on somebody
else you help them have a
problem so you won't
have to look at yourself
ever.
Parents can do this to children
if a child goes home it can be
like a vacuum
Or children can go home to rebel
dirtying parent's homes, drinking,
smoking, drugging, making
noise until parents
cannot live that way and
have to throw them out.
GAMES GAMES GAMES
Why play these games,
on the other side of the door is peace and
love
Jesus speaks: A man once tried to provoke and
provoke
his family they would forgive and
love him, finally he just kept getting
so bad they had to do something.
A person that is sick can play a
story in their head and put in players
they make it up
It's their own story
The problem is, is they never really
look into whether the people
agree to play in their play
but they begin acting like it
is a fact and then the trouble starts.
Some people are like people that
throw in a grenade in somebody's
door and expect them to come running
and loving them
THEY TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY
for their actions
Oh children, be merry
live in the truth
say the Our Father
Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
January 27, 2006 message continues
Jesus speaks: Do not be perfectionist that can
be a "god" to you
Open your hearts to love
you have not learned love
yet.
I put you on this earth to love God
and one another to obey My
commandments
you are sinners, admit it
when you sin and
Go to confession and tell your sins
Families stay dysfunctional when
they operate in dysfunctionality
if somebody wants recovery in
that life of pain
they want the person to come
back and do their dance of
dysfunction.
Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S. J.
The true Christian is imbued with consciousness of others. That is to say, the true Christian is keenly aware that, to a great degree, God intends each of us to press on toward maturity in the spiritual life through a proper encounter with others. Indeed, the Christian imperative reminds us that we are to walk life's path, not in isolation, but hand in hand with our fellow human beings.

God's Blue Book 6
Jesus: My dear child, I want to give you a message for the world. There will be a time of trials, you must concentrate totally on Me. It is only in time spent alone with Me throughout the day that you will be able to withstand all that will happen. Satan is pressing in at every moment. This message is not for you, it is for every person involved in this renewal. You must be strong, it is time spent in front of the tabernacle, daily Mass and Communion, remaining after Communion and praying the rosary that will sustain you. The efforts you make will affect this world. Satan will try and try to frustrate you and stop you. He does not want you to receive this message. The fear you feel now is from him. Cast him out, he knows how to take you from your work. He knows your weaknesses. The Spirit is forever with you. As satan tries to drag you down, the Spirit will build you up with fire and love. Sing, listen to My songs. Sing to the Spirit to fill you with fire. Pray to Him to send you His power to transform you from fear to fearlessness. The time is set, you will be fired at My child. You will be tested, you will be tried, you will experience such great union and trust in Me. Nothing can rock you when your heart is forever joined to My Heart. You will have strength. It will come from your constant resting in Our Hearts. You must be strong, know that obstacles will be many, but I am allowing them for greater union with Me. Know that you will be so steadfast in My love that you will be able to do this work and withstand any trial. Give this letter to Fr. Carter. This pertains to all who are involved in this Movement. Your strength is from the Lord. You must go to the tabernacle for your supplies.January 25, 1995 - Monday
My Power is endless, My love unbounded. I come to you with greatest love, this day, for you My beloved soldiers, battling a fight for My love. It is through your efforts My love will reign in the hearts of men in this world. Pray the Prayer for Union with Me.
Jesus speaks: "This is the picture I want in My messages. When you read these messages, look at My picture and know I love you. These messages are My words of love for each of you."
- Jesus to Rita Ring
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

Messenger: Pray to the Spirit not lip service.
We are His soldiers in this dark world.
January 25, 1995 - Wednesday
Jesus: My work takes the Power of the Almighty God. You must surrender and be selfless. This is not a little task, you are marching on a world that has become deeply rooted in evil. Can you with your own might dig up these deep roots that are strong and thick? Only through the power of My Eucharistic Heart will you up-root this evil. It is through the heart of My beloved Mother you will carry My endless burning love to this world.
Love is kind, love is rooted in My Heart. Your world has turned cold, many men's hearts are rooted in evil. Can you Can you do this with your human minds? Can you see clearly as I see the hearts of men, do you see the events past and present, you see only as I allow you to see the big picture. From all time I see, I see heaven, I see the souls that will be lost to eternal damnation, I see the hearts of men, I know deeply their motive, you see with feeble minds, but you attempt to know all things. You need My Vision, you need to see with My Vision. You see as I impart to you My Vision. You must be so rooted in My ways that it is no longer you who act, but I who am acting through you.
Little men, with little minds, I am
the Almighty God, when will you learn that you must surrender to Me and allow Me to do this work. You stumble, you falter, you fall, you are backing yourself into walls. I can knock down walls, I am Mighty, I am all Powerful, you cannot do this work on your own. You must be so rooted in Me that it is God who is acting through you.Surrender, let go, you hold on so tight, you in your wills think that you can do so much, I can do anything. Let go My little ones, come for your supplies, be connected to My Eucharistic Heart. You will only see the big picture as I impart to you My vision. Your human mind cannot see the big picture. Let go, I have all the Power, I have all the Might, I am the Almighty God. Surrender, Surrender. Pray the prayer for Union with Me. Become one in Me. I want to operate you, I need your surrender. Pray to the Spirit and watch Him move in your hearts.
Messenger: The mind of man cannot ever see with the
vision of God, unless He gives them His vision. I am so limited in everything I do, He is Almighty, I love a little, He gives us His all, I must constantly study His ways to be more and more like Him.Spirit transform my heart, more and more into the image of Jesus.
Spirit move in me to lead me closer and closer into the image of Jesus. The more we call on the Spirit, the more we are transformed. The Spirit descended on the apostles. The Spirit is action.The Spirit is Divine Power.
O Holy Spirit, impart to us the vision of God. The Spirit transforms us from blindness into vision. Where we are blind, we can now see more and more as the Spirit imparts to us His Vision.We are raised to such heights in Him. Come Holy Spirit fill us with the fire of Your love, give us Your Vision.
Oh my Dear God!! I love you.
We are all blind, many of us do not see that Jesus is truly the Son of God.
Many do not realize the great gifts we are given in baptism, Holy Spirit come and give us your gifts
Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord.
Set us ablaze with the FIRE of your DIVINE LOVE, BURNING.
GOD IS MIGHTY.

Jesus: My dear child,
You must realize I am with you when you struggle. Let go into My arms and be alone with Me.
11 Years Ago Today
January 27, 1995 - Friday
Jesus: My way is the way of surrender. Surrender to the Father's will. All that is happening, I am allowing so that you may grow ever closer to My Most Sacred Heart.
Yield My child to Me. I forever control your every breath. You do not see the world that is before you. You are so blind, you see only that which is before your face.
I am Jesus, Son of the Living God, I speak here and no one pays heed. My child, My child, I have not forsaken you, as you rest in My arms I will comfort you and lead you ever closer to My Heart.
Pray for greater union with Me. I truly speak to you. Be with Me and lost in My Heart.
I am your Jesus, I am God, death has no power over Me, I am Mighty, I am with you this day.
This rosary was given on the Feast of St. Don Bosco
11 Years Ago
Mary appeared |  shipped from the printers |
It is one of the rosaries that was not put in the Red Rosary Book. (It was given during the Shepherds of Christ Core Meeting at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the old seminary and transcribe from a tape, received live.)This rosary was given while the Blessed Mother appeared all white in the daily visits when she appeared to me.
January 31, 1995
Feast of St. John Bosco
Joyful Mysteries
The Annunciation
1. Messenger: The angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and asked her to be the Mother of Jesus.
2. Mary always complied to the will of the Father. She said "yes".
3. Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit and the Word was made Flesh.
4. There was such intimacy between the child Jesus and Mary from the first moment of His conception.
5. Jesus is with us this day. Jesus is in our brother. Mary cared for the child Jesus.
6.
John 3: 16
For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may have eternal life.
7. Christ is the Mediator of this grace life.
8. Do we realize that God became man? He loves us so much. Think of that! That God loves us so much that He sent His Son and He took on flesh for greatest love of us!
9. The more we realize the immense love God truly has for us, the more we will trust Him. We will be better able to surrender and let go if we realize more and more that God took on flesh for love of us. Jesus died on the cross. He gave His flesh. He gave His blood. He rose on the third day and ascended into heaven. This is God! He cares so much for man!
10. The most Sacred Heart of the child Jesus was formed in the womb of the Virgin Mary.
Song between decades: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
The Visitation
1. Messenger: The angel told Mary that her cousin Elizabeth, in her old age, had conceived of a son and Mary made haste to the hill country to tell her cousin Elizabeth her good news and to be with her to help her.
2. When she arrived at Elizabeth's, Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she cried out:
Luke 1: 42-43Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord?
3. The servant usually goes to the Master, but God in Mary's womb went to Elizabeth. He loves us so much. He is the Master, but He comes to us. Mary carried Jesus in her womb. She went to visit her cousin Elizabeth. Elizabeth said:
Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord? Luke 1: 43
4. Christ waits for us to come and visit with Him. He longs for us to come and be with Him. He is truly present there in His Divinity and humanity, no less present than the day He was carried by Mary in her womb when she went to visit Elizabeth. He waits for us in the Tabernacle. He remains there out of greatest love for us. The Master waits for us, a mere human! He waits for us to come. How His Heart was wounded for the endless hours He would spend in the Tabernacle and His beloved souls would forget Him and not come to Him. We do not realize the great gift that we have, that God waits for us to come and be with Him.
5. When Mary went to visit her cousin Elizabeth, Elizabeth said the child within her womb leapt for joy. John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus. In the womb of his mother, John leapt for joy.
6. Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit and cried out in a loud voice, the Magnificat.
7. My soul doth magnify the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God, my Savior.
8. And Mary said: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
Luke 1: 469. for the Almighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name,
Luke 1: 4910. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary - verse 1
Song between decades: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
The Birth of Jesus
1. Messenger: This is God! Jesus comes into the world a little baby. Think of the majesty of the Almighty God. This is the Almighty God. He comes in a little human baby body.
2. Jesus comes this day to us in the Eucharist. We walk quietly to the altar and receive the Almighty God. We see the consecrated Host, God comes to us in His Divinity and humanity.
3. Song: I Love You Jesus
4. We see those things that are before our eyes. We do not see too good sometimes. The reality is, this is God's world! Our every breath, our every heartbeat depends on Him. He is truly present in the Eucharist in the Tabernacle! He waits us! We see only with limited vision.
5. Holy Spirit descend upon us. Open our eyes more and more to see as God wishes us to see. Help us to know that Jesus is truly present. That He, in His Divinity and humanity, waits with such love for us to come and be with Him in front of the Tabernacle.
6. Help us to see Jesus in our brothers.
7. God became man! He took on our flesh, we are Jesus' brother.
8. Holy Spirit descend upon us and help us to see more and more clearly the things of God so that we can live more deeply in Him and know His Divine Love. We are blind. We do not see. But we ask You to please open up our eyes. Open our ears. Let us see beyond what is visible with our human eyes and know the presence of God that is in our midst this day that surrounds us in one another. The life in a blade of grass comes from God. We are so blind! Open up our eyes, dwell in our hearts. Be alive inside of us with the fire of God's love so that we may more be filled by Him live in Him know His Divine Love. Nothing here can compare even minutely to Your gifts given to us, which our souls crave.
Song: God's Love
Give to us, O Holy Spirit, Your fire, Your grace, to know and love God more and more each waking moment of this day, so this life that is alive in us will radiate to this world, the light that shines in the darkness which is the Light of God's Love.
9. Jesus came a baby into this world the Son of God!
10. The Father loved us so much that He sent His Son!
Open our eyes to the fire of God's Love!
Song: Come Holy Ghost
Song between decades: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple
1. Messenger: Simeon had been told by the Holy Spirit that He would not die until He saw the child Jesus. The Holy Spirit led him into the temple and he saw Mary, Joseph and the child, Jesus.
2. Simeon said he was now ready to die. He prophesied the sufferings of Jesus and Mary. He told Mary that a sword, too, would pierce her soul. From that point on, whenever Mary looked at her beloved child, she remembered the prophecy of Simeon. Think of looking at your child and knowing he would suffer such immense suffering.
3. And when the day came for them to be purified in keeping with the Law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lordobserving what is written in the Law of the Lord: Every firstborn male must be consecrated to the Lord
Luke 2: 22-234. From this point on, Mary's heart was pierced with a sword.
5. As Jesus was presented in the temple, let us place ourselves in Jesus' Heart and ask Mary as she holds the child Jesus, to tuck us in His Heart and present us to the Father.
6. Give us more and more a Heart like Yours, O Jesus, so we can more love the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit and Mary with a heart that is likened to Yours.
7. Mary, through your Immaculate Heart, lead us ever closer to the love of Jesus. You, who know Jesus' Heart, who was with Him all through His life, who was with Him from the first moment He was conceived in your womb, who is with Him united so closely this day, lead us ever closer to the love of His Most Sacred Heart.
8. As your heart was pierced with a sword seven times, lead us more and more to realize the immensity of His love for us.
9. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
10. Dear Holy Spirit, as we unite more and more to our Mother Mary, transform us more and more into the image of Jesus and lead us ever closer to the love of our Father.
Song between decades: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria
The Finding of Jesus in the Temple
1. Messenger: When Jesus was twelve years old, He was taken up to the Temple for the feast of the Passover. When Mary and Joseph had left, they did not realize that Jesus had been left behind.
2. After they had gone a day's journey, they realized that Jesus was still in Jerusalem. With such sorrow in their hearts, they returned searching for their beloved Son.
3. Think of how it would be to lose your child!
4. A sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary!
5. When they found the child Jesus, He was teaching the doctors in the temple.
6. Jesus, as You taught the doctors in the temple, teach us your truths. Give us Your grace so we can see more clearly all the truths that You will reveal to us.
7. Holy Spirit, give to us the gifts of wisdom, knowledge and understanding so we can be closer to God.
8. They were overcome when they saw him, and his mother said to him, My child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your father and I have been, looking for you. He replied, Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Fathers house? But they did not understand what he meant.
Luke 2: 48-509. Mary, if we ever wander from the Heart of your beloved Son, lead us ever closer to His Heart through your Heart.
10. Unite us more and more to the love of the Trinity, to the love of your Two Hearts - Jesus and Mary!

At the end of the rosary, Rita stated that Mary, our Blessed Mother, wanted Rita to tell us that she appeared "all white" and glistening. Her face was beautiful and changing. She was so beautiful. There was movement - her face changed. She wanted us to know that she was very present with us during the praying of this rosary ... that she and her Son were calling us to be Jesus' soldiers of love!
This rosary was prayed at the beginning of the Shepherds of Christ Meeting. Marty led the rosary. Many people were present.
