December 5, 2002

Messenger:     Dear Jesus

                            Can I write to You Jesus and tell You

                                how much I love You.

                            Jesus we need Your help to run everything
                                in the Movement.

                            Jesus the clouds are in the sky —
                                the sky can be sunny, the
                                sky can be full of big
                                black clouds.

                            We never know when something can happen
                                to our health and we may
                                suffer a disease or even die.

 

 

Mysteries of Light

  

   

                                Baptism of Jesus

                           1. Jesus speaks:   I am Jesus, I am your Savior.

                           2. Jesus speaks:   Here is My Song I give you.
  


  

                           3. Jesus was baptized by John in the Jordan.

                           4. Meditating on these mysteries have helped
                                me get closer to the Father, Jesus
                                and the Holy Spirit.

                           5. Jesus is always loving us.

                           6. Jesus is with us.

                           7. We look at Jesus' public ministry.

                           8. Jesus is God. He loves us so very much
                                He came to this earth and took
                                on a human body.

                           9. Jesus gives us Himself to eat in the
                                Eucharist.

                         10. Jesus is the Savior of the World.
  


  
    
      


  

 

 

 

   

                           Marriage at Cana

                           1. I love to meditate on Jesus' miracles.

                           2. Doing this helps me to focus on His
                                Divine Power.

                           3. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

                           4. Many people held on to their own
                                ideas that we should not change the
                                cover of the Blue Books.

                           5. Jesus wanted us to change the covers
                                and try to have them by Christmas.

                           6. Lots of people don't listen to Jesus.

                           7. "His mother said to the servants,
                                 'Do whatever he tells you.' " John 2: 5

                           8. This is good advice — we should
                                always do what Jesus tells us to do.

                           9. Many today do not honor Jesus
                                as the Son of God, meditating
                                on the life of Jesus, especially
                                His miracles helps us to realize
                                He is God, He is almighty.

                           10. Jesus speaks:   I am God, I am Jesus
                                                            the Son of God.

    

     

    

       

   

                           Kingdom of God

                           1. God gave us bodies.
                               God put us on the earth.
                               God intends us to live on this earth
                                    for our lives here below.
                               God intends us to serve Him
                                    as our Savior.

                           2. How would a family be if there was
                                not a mom and a dad to
                                run the family.

                           3. In God's family — God is in
                                charge. To ignore Him isn't
                                good. How can we build the
                                Kingdom of God leaving 
                                God out.

                           4. God is.
                               There are 3 Divine Persons.
                               Jesus is the Son of God.

                           5. Today is December 5, 2002.

                                6 years ago after Mary appeared
                                    daily for 14 months and

                                Mary appeared especially on
                                    the 5ths for 2 1/2 years —

                                instead of Mary appearing
                                where she usually appeared
                                at Holy Cross-Immaculata
                                Church in Cincinnati —

                                Jesus appeared at the point of
                                    death.

Excerpt from February 28, 1999 daily message

Messenger: ...We must call to mind the apparition of Jesus on the cross, December 5, 1996, when He appeared at the point of death with His mouth moving.

Later that evening in the rosary He said He moved His mouth. He did not speak any words because He said, "No one was listening."

                           6. I saw Him at the point of death
                                on the cross.
                            

                           7. Watching His mouth move pierced
                                my heart.

                           8. Jesus is the Light of the World.
  
 
                          9. Jesus is the King of the Kingdom.

                          10. John 18: 36-17

Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong here.’ Pilate said, ‘So, then you are a king?’ Jesus answered, ‘It is you who say that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.’

 

   

   

    

                           Transfiguration

                           1. Matthew 17: 1-2, 5-6

    Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as dazzling as light. 

He was still speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and suddenly from the cloud there came a voice which said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’ When they heard this, the disciples fell on their faces, overcome with fear.

                           2. Jesus is the Light of the World.

                           3. Envision the apostles and
                                Jesus transfigured before them.

                           4. Excerpt from the Daily Messages December 22, 1998

Messenger:    On January 9, 1996, I went to pray. The snow was so bad the street was blocked to Holy Cross-Immaculata. I finally managed to find a place to park and trudged through the snow, panting with joy to be with Our Lord in the tabernacle there. When I arrived all I could do was kneel before the Sacred Heart statue and pour out myself to Him.

Please show a picture of the tabernacle and the Sacred Heart statue.


 

                           5. From my writings of January 9, 1996, I write:

"I was engulfed again in my love of God and cried so hard because I love Him so much. In this intimate act of giving myself totally to Him, my whole act was in emptying myself, wanting only to be lost in Him and united forever to Him in this most blissful moment. I turned myself over and was lost in Him, knowing His presence with me and knowing His deep love. The world stopped and I existed in Him, longing to forever stay there, so this moment would never end."

"I touched you, God and in this embrace I knew your unending love. I saw Your Body as if it was transfigured and glowing in light and I was lost in Thee."

This is how it began. I would see a great reflective light, as if from a mirror, on the eaves of the church in the front of Holy Cross-Immaculata and His Body was changed in the most brilliant light before my eyes. I cannot describe what I saw, nor have I ever seen it except in this vision and two that would follow the next two days. Jesus was transfigured before my eyes.

The date of January 9, 1996, when it first happened, was the same date January 9, 1994, when I genuflected before the crucifix and the altar at St. Gertrude's and the Father spoke; Blue Book II-page 18, January 9, 1994: "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

On January 9, 1996, I would see Jesus transfigured before me in the statue.

                                 6. This is real, that Jesus is the Son of God.

                           7. I saw Christ transfigured on February 5, 2000,
                                after we opened the Rosary Factory, I was
                                blinded by the light and could not see afterward,
                                as it is when you look at the sun

                                On February 5, 2001 we got
                                this picture 
  

February 5, 2001

                                We can't get discouraged -
  


                           8.  We work to promote the Kingdom.

                           9. 
    


    

                         10. Here is a song Jesus gave me —
                                He wants us to sing it to Him.
 

   

 

 

 

  

                           Last Supper

                           1. Luke 22: 14-20           

When the time came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, ‘I have ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; because, I tell you, I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’ Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and share it among you, because from now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.’

Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.

                            2.

 
  

                          3. The Mass is so wonderful.

                          4. A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

                                               -God's Blue Book, December 27, 1995

                          5. Prayer for Union with Jesus

    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.

                           6. A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

                           7. Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

                           8. Excerpt from Priestly Newsletter 2001 Issue #1

We become one with Him as deeply as possible. We dwell in His most perfect Heart offering sacrifice to God for our sins and the sins of men. Our whole being is very active in the Mass as we realize more the power of this Sacrifice most worthily offered. We want to give ourselves as completely as possible, our past, all of ourselves, now become so one in the moment of sacrifice as we become one in Him pleading and begging to our God for purification, for help, for love of Him and all others. We give thanksgiving, worship and honor to Him, our whole being given as a sacrifice on the altar IN His pure and holy Heart. Being in the Immaculate Heart of our Mother, we offer sacrifice for the Church and the world.

We offer every precious moment of our lives, united to the Masses around the world, being one in Jesus. Every moment is a moment of sacrifice united to God. This is what we do in the Morning Offering.

The pages of the book of our lives are being written. These moments of our lives are so dear to God, for we offer our lives as a sacrifice for souls.

Are we spending the precious moments of our lives offering sacrifice to God for His honor and glory and giving our lives as a sacrifice for souls?

                            9. Jesus is the Son of God.    

                          10. Jesus loves us so much

                                    He came to this earth —

Excerpt from Spirituality Handbook

We, through our incorporation into Christ which occurs at Baptism, are meant to relive the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. In doing so, we are not only accomplishing our own salvation, but we are assisting in the salvation of others also. The Incarnation continues all the time. Christ, of course, is the one Who fundamentally continues the Incarnation. But He enlists our help. The world no longer sees Jesus, no longer is able to reach out and touch Him. We are the ones who now, in some way, make Christ visible and tangible. In union with the invisible, glorified Christ, and depending on Him as our source of life, we continue the Incarnation in its visible and temporal dimensions. This is our great privilege. This is our great responsibility.

The Christian is initiated into the mystery of Christ, into his or her role in prolonging the Incarnation, through Baptism. In the words of St. Paul: "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were buried therefore with Him by Baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." (Rom. 6: 3-4).

                            Messenger:
                           
The Mass is so powerful — we can be
                                united so deeply with people all
                                over the world praying in such
                                oneness as a body for all the souls
                                of the earth.

                            Jesus loves us so much.

                            The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary 
                                sacramentally made present.

                            Oh God we prayed today as a body so deeply
                                at 12:00 noon united with all those in China
                                and Morrow and Cincinnati praying for
                                the priests, the Church and the world.

                            We prayed from behind Mary's image with a priest.
                            We prayed for the Reign of the Sacred Heart, that
                                the souls of this earth will recognize Jesus as
                                the Son of God and King and Center of their hearts.

                            Oh God we pray so deeply for this united to all the
                                saints and angels and souls in purgatory,
                                praying through the powerful intercession
                                of Mary our Mother and Fr. Carter.

                                Oh God we prayed so hard and we will
                            pray tonight at 6:20 and a priest will
                            unite with us all night as we pray from
                            beneath Mary's Image — you can view
                            Mary on the web while we pray and
                            listen. Another Catholic priest is united,
                            listening and discerning while we broadcast
                            all over the world from the internet — tune in.

                                I remember Jesus appearing 6 years
                            ago at the point of death —
