Revelation 5: 9-10

They sang a new hymn:
You are worthy to take the scroll
and to break its seals,
because you were sacrificed,
    and with your blood
you bought people for God
of every race, language, people and nation
and made them a line of kings and priests for God,
to rule the world.

Hebrews Chapter 11

Only faith can guarantee the blessings that we hope for, or prove the existence of realities that are unseen. It is for their faith that our ancestors are acknowledged.

    It is by faith that we understand that the ages were created by a word from God, so that from the invisible the visible world came to be. 

    It was because of his faith that Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain, and for that he was acknowledged as upright when God himself made acknowledgement of his offerings. Though he is dead, he still speaks by faith. 

    It was because of his faith that Enoch was taken up and did not experience death: he was no more, because God took him; because before his assumption he was acknowledged to have pleased God. Now it is impossible to please God without faith, since anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and rewards those who seek him. 

    It was through his faith that Noah, when he had been warned by God of something that had never been seen before, took care to build an ark to save his family. His faith was a judgement on the world, and he was able to claim the uprightness which comes from faith. 

    It was by faith that Abraham obeyed the call to set out for a country that was the inheritance given to him and his descendants, and that he set out without knowing where he was going. By faith he sojourned in the Promised Land as though it were not his, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. He looked forward to the well–founded city, designed and built by God. 

    It was equally by faith that Sarah, in spite of being past the age, was made able to conceive, because she believed that he who had made the promise was faithful to it. Because of this, there came from one man, and one who already had the mark of death on him, descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and the grains of sand on the seashore which cannot be counted.   

    All these died in faith, before receiving any of the things that had been promised, but they saw them in the far distance and welcomed them, recognising that they were only strangers and nomads on earth. People who use such terms about themselves make it quite plain that they are in search of a homeland. If they had meant the country they came from, they would have had the opportunity to return to it; but in fact they were longing for a better homeland, their heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, since he has founded the city for them. 

    It was by faith that Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac. He offered to sacrifice his only son even though he had yet to receive what had been promised, and he had been told: Isaac is the one through whom your name will be carried on. He was confident that God had the power even to raise the dead; and so, figuratively speaking, he was given back Isaac from the dead. 

    It was by faith that this same Isaac gave his blessing to Jacob and Esau for the still distant future. By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph’s sons, bowed in reverence, as he leant on his staff. It was by faith that, when he was about to die, Joseph mentioned the Exodus of the Israelites and gave instructions about his own remains. 

    It was by faith that Moses, when he was born, was kept hidden by his parents for three months; because they saw that he was a fine child; they were not afraid of the royal edict. It was by faith that, when he was grown up, Moses refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh’s daughter and chose to be ill–treated in company with God’s people rather than to enjoy the transitory pleasures of sin. He considered that the humiliations offered to the Anointed were something more precious than all the treasures of Egypt, because he had his eyes fixed on the reward. It was by faith that he left Egypt without fear of the king’s anger; he held to his purpose like someone who could see the Invisible. It was by faith that he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood to prevent the Destroyer from touching any of their first–born sons. It was by faith they crossed the Red Sea as easily as dry land, while the Egyptians, trying to do the same, were drowned.  

    It was through faith that the walls of Jericho fell down when the people had marched round them for seven days. It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute welcomed the spies and so was not killed with the unbelievers.

    What more shall I say? There is not time for me to give an account of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, or of David, Samuel and the prophets. These were men who through faith conquered kingdoms, did what was upright and earned the promises. They could keep a lion’s mouth shut, put out blazing fires and emerge unscathed from battle. They were weak people who were given strength to be brave in war and drive back foreign invaders. Some returned to their wives from the dead by resurrection; and others submitted to torture, refusing release so that they would rise again to a better life. Some had to bear being pilloried and flogged, or even chained up in prison. They were stoned, or sawn in half, or killed by the sword; they were homeless, and wore only the skins of sheep and goats; they were in want and hardship, and maltreated. They were too good for the world and they wandered in deserts and mountains and in caves and ravines. These all won acknowledgement through their faith, but they did not receive what was promised, since God had made provision for us to have something better, and they were not to reach perfection except with us.

        It is April 5th on Saturday — Mary appeared at Fatima
        to 3 little children and they jailed the children on
        a 13th. Mary did not appear August 13th because the
        children were in jail.

            When Mary appeared to me at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit
        Center many people did not believe and one man said to me
        "Why are you going into there (referring to the Sorrowful
        Mother Chapel) for no one believes you. I told him
        Mary was appearing and Mary told me to be there.

            It was because of these visits from Mary the Rosaries
        from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary were taped as I spoke
        during the apparition and then transcribed from the
        tapes on hard copy and put in the Red Rosary Book
        with the Rainbow — Fr. Carter discerned these
        and the book was published. It left the printer
        the same day Mary appeared in Clearwater.

It happened that as he was speaking, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, 'Blessed the womb that bore you and the breasts that fed you!'

 

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. * Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

   

Faith —

1 Peter 2: 4-9

He is the living stone, rejected by human beings but chosen by God and precious to him; set yourselves close to him so that you, too, may be living stones making a spiritual house as a holy priesthood to offer the spiritual sacrifices made acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. As scripture says: Now I am laying a stone in Zion, a chosen, precious cornerstone and no one who relies on this will be brought to disgrace.  To you believers it brings honour. But for unbelievers, it is rather a stone which the builders rejected that became a cornerstone, a stumbling stone, a rock to trip people up. They stumble over it because they do not believe in the Word; it was the fate in store for them. 

But you are a chosen race, a kingdom of priests, a holy nation, a people to be a personal possession to sing the praises of God who called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.

    

        On March 22, 1994 Lucia's birthday the corner fell off in minutes.

 

        Jesus performed all these miracles when He was on
            earth and they rejected Him and crucified Him.

        Jesus is the stone rejected by the builders.

        The eleven told Thomas they had seen the Lord —

        But Thomas said

        "Unless I see the mark of the nails in His hands and
        put my finger into the nail marks and put my
        hand into his side. I will not believe.

        A week later Jesus appeared to the disciples and
            Thomas. Jesus told Thomas "Put your finger
            here and see my hands, and bring your hand and
            put it into my side, and do not be unbelieving,
            but believe"

        Thomas said

            "My Lord and my God"

        Jesus said

            "Have you come to believe because you have
            seen Me? Blessed are those who have not
            seen and have believed."

Revelation 11: 19; 12: 1-6, 10

    Then the sanctuary of God in heaven opened, and the ark of the covenant could be seen inside it. Then came flashes of lightning, peals of thunder and an earthquake and violent hail.

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born. The woman was delivered of a boy, the son who was to rule all the nations with an iron sceptre, and the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne, while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty days.

Then I heard a voice shout from heaven, ‘Salvation and power and empire for ever have been won by

 

Ezekiel 34: 11-12, 15-17

    “For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it. As a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness.

I myself shall pasture my sheep, I myself shall give them rest–declares the Lord Yahweh. I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and make the sick strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd to them."

    "As for you, my sheep, the Lord Yahweh says this: I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and he-goats. Not content to drink the clearest of the water, you foul the rest with your feet.

 

        There is enough to go around —

 

John 6: 1-15

    After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee—or of Tiberias—and a large crowd followed him, impressed by the signs he had done in curing the sick. Jesus climbed the hillside and sat down there with his disciples. The time of the Jewish Passover was near. 
    Looking up, Jesus saw the crowds approaching and said to Philip, ‘Where can we buy some bread for these people to eat?’ He said this only to put Philip to the test; he himself knew exactly what he was going to do. Philip answered, ‘Two hundred denarii would not buy enough to give them a little piece each.’ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said, ‘Here is a small boy with five barley loaves and two fish; but what is that among so many?’ Jesus said to them, ‘Make the people sit down.’ There was plenty of grass there, and as many as five thousand men sat down. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were sitting there; he then did the same with the fish, distributing as much as they wanted. When they had eaten enough he said to the disciples, ‘Pick up the pieces left over, so that nothing is wasted.’ So they picked them up and filled twelve large baskets with scraps left over from the meal of five barley loaves. Seeing the sign that he had done, the people said, ‘This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world.’ Jesus, as he realised they were about to come and take him by force and make him king, fled back to the hills alone.

 

        Jesus:

I will never abandon you
I will never forget you
I will love you always
Do not be afraid of men who plot against
    you
I have all the power
No one has power over Me
I give you My flesh to eat

 

John 6: 53-38

Jesus replied to them:

In all truth I tell you,
if you do not eat
   the flesh of the Son of man
and drink his blood,
you have no life in you.
Anyone who does eat my flesh
   and drink my blood
has eternal life,
and I shall raise that person up
   on the last day.
For my flesh is real food
and my blood is real drink.
Whoever eats my flesh
   and drinks my blood
lives in me
and I live in that person.
As the living Father sent me
and I draw life from the Father,
so whoever eats me
   will also draw life from me.
This is the bread
   which has come down from heaven;
it is not like the bread our ancestors ate:
they are dead,
but anyone who eats this bread
   will live for ever.

   

I am kind and gentle of heart

I will outpour My intimate love
    to the man who is humble
    and gives himself in gentle
    love to Me and to others

I am your rear guard and
    your fore guard

Pray for the Church
            the priests
            and the world.

In My retreats in My building in
    Florida and China, I
    outpour My riches graces
    for My mission.

I have given you My Movement
    Shepherds of Christ —
    I have kept in running —
    I have outpoured My grace to
        accomplish the Plan of My
        Father for the Shepherds of
        Christ Movement.

    My building in Florida was chosen
        by God the Father for His Plan —

It is by My grace you have stayed in
    the building for 10 years —
    My Father has a Plan — the
    building is part of the Plan

 

Mary by day July 5, 2000

by night July 5, 2000

                During My retreats I pour out My
                    richest blessings —

                    Other Marian groups folded
                        because the people were
                        jealous, envious, fighting
                        as the devil pressed in and
                        in —
                        seeking dominance for
                        dominance sake —

                    Do not fight the Plan of the Father —
                        be generous in your love —
                        live to serve God and do things for His
                        honor and glory —
                        I love —
                        I am generous
                        I died for you
                        I died for your sins of pride

                Oh beauteous God
                    give us the grace to believe
                    to obey
                    to live by faith
                    filled with hope and love.

                Oh God give us your vision.
                Heal the hatred in our hearts —

Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, life.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned.
It is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

                Passive-Aggressive behavior can be seen
                    where a person acts like they will
                    do something and then many times do no come
                    through — or stalls and stalls until
                    it is too late

                Controlling another obsessively is a way
                    to block important work

                A normal person sees a job and tries
                    to accomplish it and is productive

                One with lots of baggage — addicted
                    to control will use inordinate
                    means that may actually block
                    the production.

                One who is hurt may wish to control
                    another and stall and stall to
                    inflict pain —

                When one is really acting to release
                    anger and revenge, but have
                    frozen their own spontaneity
                    in hidden pain in a stone
                    heart — they may project their
                    anger, pain, rage on an innocent
                    other and attempt to provoke
                    through control, stalling even
                    to get one crying at their feet
                    in severe frozen trauma —

                Inflicting pain on another for release
                    of ones hidden frozen anger is
                    a very serious matter — once projection
                    is a habit in the way to handle hidden
                    pain and anger it can be like a
                    grave addiction —

                    Where one wishing to produce a
                result goes from  A —————> B

                    One involved in projection on
                another, controlling as an addiction,
                jealousy, anger, envy, pride
                will go through a battery of
                baggage

                In addictions people who must use to
                    get relief begin an automatic
                    cycle of using others, drugs,
                    alcohol or work —

                Where the healthy sound person —
                    deals minute by minute with
                    events, emotions —
                    a controlling person will
                    impose blocks to another —
                    Acting out through control
                    may be because one has
                    been controlled by another
                    and they wish to deal with
                    it by inflicting control and
                    hardship on an innocent other

                Jesus, the Son of God —
                    Did the will of His Father

                To grow in the spiritual life is
                    to not play these manipulating
                    heartless games of old unfinished
                    baggage

                The life we live is to be more perfected
                    in living according to the Father's
                    will.

                It is not based on our wounds,
                    imperfections, need to control,
                    dominate others for dominance
                    sake.

                Transfiguration

Matthew 17: 5

... ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’

   

                One problem one may have is in not
                    trusting authority because of
                    childhood authority, others
                    who have betrayed them

                People can have trouble committing
                    to anything because of
                    fear of authority figures.
                    They may come down strong,
                    suggesting things, changing
                    rules, never obeying to try to make
                    the authority look weak —
                    cause chaos — weaken
                    the strength structure
                    brings.

                Because of strict parental authority
                    people may cause commotion
                    when one is in authority —
                    or never really commit to
                    anything — lest someone
                    be over them

                When one even sees the authority they
                    may have serious problems
                    from the past in themselves.

                When a person violates rules, they
                    may isolate and keep telling
                    themselves "I'm right,
                    I'm right — I will never obey
                    the rules" Since structure is
                    in place in a healthy organization
                    they become isolating because
                    they have now made themselves
                    above the rules and everyone else.

                We can seek approval from people
                    and crave it so much and be
                    so self-focused we fail to
                    recognize the unique gift we
                    are when operating as God wills.
                    We can lose our identity and get
                    to a point we see ourselves by
                    how others approve or disapprove
                    of us.

                Jesus was stripped of his garments,
                    wounded and beaten and He rose and
                    His wounds were glorified.

                When one is compulsive it is dysfunctional.
                    Compulsions can come from fear of
                    abandonment.
                    Instead of living life in joy and
                    productivity — one lives, many
                    times, in slavishly dependent
                    relationships manipulating others
                    and surviving the dysfunction.

                When some one becomes angry we
                    may become so afraid because
                    of anger in our homes —
                    angry people who have controlled
                    us or we had to deal with so we act
                    like a frozen person — rather than
                    reacting as we should.

                Some dysfunctional people are attracted to
                    people they can rescue, if the one that is
                    to be rescued does not have a problem
                    they convince them they do or create
                    one for them so the one can be rescuing
                    and the other made needy.

                         A person coming and saying
                    "I need no work, but I can fix
                    you," is one who rarely ever
                    looks at themselves, they seek
                    victims to help and rescue

                Relationships are to help each other
                    grow to do God's will — Every person
                    has a great gift to contribute to
                    the world — In relationships it
                    should be — all working together
                    in love to accomplish a task —

                    A weak wounded person — wants
                to be in control, seeking victims,
                disempowering others — punishing
                others for their lack of power and pain —
                Not growing out of their own
                imperfections and becoming
                more empowered and productive
                working with others in love as
                a unit that is majorly productive!!

                We must look at our faults!!

                We can become addicted to conflict —
                    addicted to division, addicted
                    to control — isolating and controlling
                    at the same time.

                We must not try to make others weak
                    so we can rescue them —
                    be emotionally over them —
                    try to make them under us —
                    try to make them need us.

                Some stuff their feelings from
                    childhood, trauma and
                    refuse to feel or express
                    feelings.

                We can read the Blue Books and see how
                    God loves us and wants us to love
                    each other.
                    We must see how precious we
                    are and thank God for our gifts and
                    use them to build His Kingdom.

                We are to know God will never
                    abandon us.
                    Relationships that robbed us
                        of having important needs met
                        in childhood are to be dealt
                        with so we do not hold onto
                        others slavishly for fear of
                        abandonment —

                    Love relationships, divorces, serious
                        friendships must have resolve in
                        our hearts — say we let them go —
                        forgive and move on

                Unfinished business —
                    is unfinished business —
                    We can keep acting it out trying to
                        resolve it

                    Have serious fear of abandonment
                        issues, manipulating and
                        trying to slavishly control
                        others.

            23. FIRST PRINCIPLE AND FOUNDATION

                           Man is created to praise, reverence and serve God 
                            our Lord, and by this means to save his soul.

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.

From The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, 
    by Louis J. Puhl, S.J. p. 11

21.                     SPIRITUAL EXERCISES

    Which have as their purpose the conquest of self
    and the regulation of one's life in such a way that
    no decision is made under the influence of any
    inordinate attachment

p. 25

46. PRAYER.  In the preparatory prayer I will beg God
our Lord for grace that all my intentions, actions, 
and operations may be directed purely to the 
praise and service of His Divine Majesty. 

                We are to be filled with gratitude
                    not come from a place full
                    of sick, gaping wounds,
                    manipulating and controlling
                    others

                Meditating on the lives of Jesus and Mary
                    the New Adam and the New Eve
                    helps us to see how we
                    can grow to be more perfected —

                To mature spiritually we must seek
                    to be more perfected —

                We want deeper holiness and union
                    with God.

                The great gift is to live every day
                    according to the Father's
                    will in love.

                Discernment of Spirits is vital.

                We are to pray the rosary and live
                    the Gospel —

                In the St. Ignatius Spiritual Exercises we meditate on
                    sin, heaven and hell, motive,
                    Kingdom of God, purpose
                    and the Life of Christ in the
                    Gospel —
                    seeing through the eyes of God —
                    helping to correct the tainted vision
                        we have with greater
                        perfection

                    Living by the Father's Plan

                    Having great faith, hope and
                        love

                    We live the Gospel in our lives.
                    The Word is alive in us.
                    Mary and Jesus are our models.

                    We love the Word of God —
                    We do all things for the honor
                        and glory of God —

                    We live our lives to spread
                        the Good News — to pray
                        for the priests, the Church
                        and the world —

                    We live to be companions of
                        Jesus and to always help
                        souls —

                    We examine our own conscience.
                    We live our vocation.
                    We pray deeply and meditate on
                        the truths God has revealed
                        to us.

                Our motive for our actions grow more and
                    more pure.

                We recognize our free will and want
                    to act as God desires.

                We live the Paschal Mystery most
                    deeply of death-resurrection
                    in our lives.

                Discord, sadness, division,
                    hatred, darkness comes from
                    satan —

                Love, light, harmony, peace,
                    joy is from God.

                We are to thank God for all the
                    gifts He has given us.

                We are to pray for grace and
                    ask God to help us see
                    our sins.

                We are to examine our conscience
                    daily and ask forgiveness
                    as we admit our faults.

                We are to ask God to help us
                    correct our imperfections.

                Sing: Take Lord Receive

                Dear God help us to realize we are
                    on a journey to serve you
                    and not to have slavishly
                    dependent relationships
                    that block your work.

                Help us to let go of survival tactics
                    that hurt ourselves and others.
                    Fill us with Your grace
                    to break bad habits and
                    addictions —

                Fill us with Your grace
                to learn to love — even when others
                    we can not change may
                    inflict great suffering on us —
                    to live for Your love and Your service

                Take Lord Receive

                Help us to recognize it is wrong to
                    interfere with the purpose
                    of God for another for our
                    selfish, envy, jealousy,
                    control, seeking dominance
                    for dominance sake, blaming —

                God help us to have the truth in
                    us —

                    Spirit of God fill us with
                        the Spirit of truth

                Help us to trust, increase our
                    faith and hope — outpour
                    Your grace — forgive us
                    our sins and outpour Your mercy
                    on us and the human race

                Help us to have high morals and
                    to be sensitive to doing God's
                    will in all things —
                    Help us to understand how you
                        want us to strengthen
                        families — stay united
                        and work in forgiveness
                        with one another

                    Help us to relate effectively
                        according to Your will.

                    Help us never to block Your
                        work intentionally, but be productive
                        in doing Your work.
