Jesus speaks:     On this third day I write to you
                                about death - resurrection

                            I write to you of the heights of heaven —
                                of the love I have for you.

                            I gave to them the great gifts in the
                                garden and they sinned and you
                                say — Oh we do not sin —
                                but you do sin, it is not right
                                to deny your wrong doing.

  

Genesis Chapter 3

   Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, ‘Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?’ The woman answered the snake, ‘We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death." ’ Then the snake said to the woman, ‘No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.’ The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig–leaves together to make themselves loin–cloths.

   The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. ‘Where are you?’ he asked. ‘I heard the sound of you in the garden,’ he replied. ‘I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.’ ‘Who told you that you were naked?’ he asked. ‘Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?’ The man replied, ‘It was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.’ Then Yahweh God said to the woman, ‘Why did you do that?’ The woman replied, ‘The snake tempted me and I ate.’

   Then Yahweh God said to the snake, ‘Because you have done this,

    Accursed be you of
    all animals wild and tame!
    On your belly you will go
    and on dust you will feed
    as long as you live.
    I shall put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and hers;
    it will bruise your head
    and you will strike its heel.’

     To the woman he said:

     I shall give you intense pain
        in childbearing,
     you will give birth to your children
        in pain.
     Your yearning will be for your husband,
      and he will dominate you.

   To the man he said, ‘Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,

     Accursed be the soil because of you!
     Painfully will you get your food from it
     as long as you live.
   It will yield you brambles and thistles,
     as you eat the produce of the land.
   By the sweat of your face
     will you earn your food,
     until you return to the ground,
     as you were taken from it.
     For dust you are
     and to dust you shall return.’

   The man named his wife ‘Eve’ because she was the mother of all those who live. Yahweh God made tunics of skins for the man and his wife and clothed them. Then Yahweh God said, ‘Now that the man has become like one of us in knowing good from evil, he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and pick from the tree of life too, and eat and live for ever!’ So Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he had been taken. He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden he posted the great winged creatures and the fiery flashing sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.

    

1 John 2: 1-15

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.

In this way we know
that we have come to know him, 
if we keep his commandments.
Whoever says, ‘I know him’
without keeping his commandments, 
is a liar,
and truth has no place in him.
But anyone who does keep his word, 
in such a one
   God’s love truly reaches its perfection.
This is the proof 
that we are in God.
Whoever claims
    to remain in him
must act as he acted.
My dear friends,
this is not a new commandment 
   I am writing for you,
but an old commandment
that you have had from the beginning;
the old commandment
   is the message you have heard.
Yet in another way, I am writing 
    a new commandment for you
—and this is true for you,
    just as much as for him—
for darkness is passing away
and the true light is already shining.
Whoever claims to be in light
but hates his brother
is still in darkness.
Anyone who loves his brother
    remains in light
 and there is in him
    nothing to make him fall away.
But whoever hates his brother
    is in darkness
and is walking about in darkness
not knowing where he is going,
because darkness has blinded him.

I am writing to you, children, 
because your sins have been forgiven 
    through his name. 
I am writing to you, fathers, 
because you have come to know 
    the One who has existed 
        since the beginning. 
I am writing to you, young people, 
because you have overcome the Evil One. 
I have written to you, children, 
because you have come to know 
    the Father. 
I have written to you, parents, 
because you have come to know 
    the One who has existed 
        since the beginning. 
I have written to you, young people, 
because you are strong, 
and God’s word remains in you, 
and you have overcome the Evil One. 
Do not love the world 
or what is in the world. 
If anyone does love the world, 
the love of the Father 
    finds no place in him,

136. THE FOURTH DAY

        A MEDITATION ON TWO STANDARDS

The one of Christ, our supreme leader and lord,
the other of Lucifer, the deadly enemy of our
human nature

PRAYER.   The usual preparatory prayer.

window at a former Jesuit Seminary

137. FIRST PRELUDE.   This is the history. Here it will be that Christ calls and wants all beneath His standard, and Lucifer, on the other hand, wants all under his.

138. SECOND PRELUDE.   This is a mental representation of the place. It will be here to see a great plain, comprising the whole region about Jerusalem, where the sovereign Commander-in-Chief of all the good is Christ our Lord; and another plain about the region of Babylon, where the chief of the enemy is Lucifer.

139. THIRD PRELUDE.   This is to ask for what I desire. Here it will be to ask for a knowledge of the deceits of the rebel chief and help to guard myself against them; and also to ask for a knowledge of the true life exemplified in the sovereign and true Commander, and the grace to imitate Him.
   

FIRST PART

THE STANDARD OF SATAN

140. FIRST POINT.   Imagine you see the chief of all the enemy in the vast plain about Babylon, seated on a great throne of fire and smoke, his appearance inspiring horror and terror.

141. SECOND POINT.   Consider how he summons innumerable demons, and scatters them, some to one city and some to another, throughout the whole world, so that no province, no place, no state of life, no individual is overlooked.

142. THIRD POINT.   Consider the address he makes to them, how he goads them on to lay snares for men and bind them with chains. First they are to tempt them to covet riches (as Satan himself is accustomed to do in most cases) that they may the more easily attain the empty honors of this world, and then come to overweening pride.

   The first step, then, will be riches, the second honor, the third pride. From these three steps the evil one leads to all other vices.
   

SECOND PART

THE STANDARD OF CHRIST

143.   In a similar way, we are to picture to ourselves the sovereign and true Commander, Christ our Lord.

144. FIRST POINT.   Consider Christ our Lord, standing in a lowly place in a great plain about the region of Jerusalem, His appearance beautiful and attractive.

145. SECOND POINT.   Consider how the Lord of all the world chooses so many persons, apostles, disciples, etc., and sends them throughout the whole world to spread His sacred doctrine among all men, no matter what their state or condition.

146. THIRD POINT.   . . .

1 John 2: 18-23

Children, this is the final hour; 
you have heard 
    that the Antichrist is coming, 
and now many Antichrists 
    have already come; 
from this we know 
    that it is the final hour. 
They have gone from among us, 
but they never really belonged to us; 
if they had belonged to us, 
    they would have stayed with us. 
But this was to prove 
that not one of them belonged to us. 
But you have been anointed 
    by the Holy One, 
and have all received knowledge.
I have written to you 
not because you are ignorant of the truth, 
but because you are well aware of it, 
and because no lie 
    can come from the truth. 
Who is the liar, 
if not one who claims 
    that Jesus is not the Christ? 
This is the Antichrist, 
who denies both the Father and the Son. 
Whoever denies the Son 
    cannot have the Father either; 
whoever acknowledges the Son 
    has the Father too.

Jesus speaks:           Oh little lost ones
                                I long to hold you so close to Me,
                                    but you close your eyes and
                                    you look away.

                                A man had 30 pieces of silver and
                                    he sold it and bought
                                    something —

                                Oh you say it was a fair exchange —

                                Oh you of little faith —

                                    I shed My Blood for your sins —

                                    My Body was beaten for your
                                        transgressions —

                                    I give you Myself in the Eucharist

                                        and many ignore this Precious
                                        Gift.

                                    Money is spent abundantly for
                                        rock stars and few come to
                                        the tabernacle to worship
                                        Me and give Me their love
                                        and I am there in the
                                        Blessed Sacrament.

                                I am the way, the truth and the
                                    life and I speak in these letters
                                    and you ignore Me.

                                Oh I cry bloody tears for I want
                                My young men to answer My cry
                                    to be priests, but satan
                                    blinds you more and more and you
                                    will not listen to the gifts

                                    I am giving when you pray

Jesus speaks:         If you follow Me you will know
                                    peace, love and joy.

                                Satan is pressing on My holy ones and you
                                    give into him.

                                I carried My cross for your sins.

                                A man was jealous he could then
                                    go and hurt the person he
                                    wanted to possess or let go
                                    and live doing God's will.

                                The sin is in acting on the jealousy
                                    you may begin to feel, the
                                    temptation to be envious and
                                    act on it, ——

                                It is not in doing the wrong work
                                    the boss may give you that
                                    is the problem —
                                    it is the pride, when one comes
                                    and says — that is the boss —
                                    "this is not the way it should
                                    be done" and the person
                                    doing the wrong work (not
                                    caring about the real job
                                    of pleasing the boss) is
                                    angry and unavailable for
                                    three weeks —

                                What boss would put up with that —
                                    The person could have peaceably
                                    corrected the wrong work —
                                    easily, but the evil exists
                                    when they become angry and
                                    unavailable so the process
                                    set in action cannot be
                                    completed.

                                The error may be a problem, but the
                                    evil is in giving into jealousy,
                                    anger, bitterness in trying to
                                    hurt someone else.

                                Peace will be found in forgiving and
                                    loving and following My Word
                                    and the Commandments.

                                A young child disobeying their parents will
                                    not find peace.

                                It is the disposition of the heart which
                                    acts in evil ways that
                                    opens the door to evil.

                                A company was all working hard
                                    for the good of all —
                                    one man lied and was very
                                    secretive about it.

                                Look at Judas — although all the
                                    Apostles were imperfect —
                                    Judas came and he lied —
                                    he was sneaky.

                                The devil is sneaky — he wants things
                                    to be hidden

    

1 John 4: 12-16  

No one has ever seen God,
but as long as we love one another
God remains in us
and his love comes to its perfection in us.
This is the proof that we remain in him
and he in us,
that he has given us a share in his Spirit.
We ourselves have seen and testify
that the Father sent his Son
as Saviour of the world.
Anyone who acknowledges
    that Jesus is the Son of God,
God remains in him and he in God.
We have recognised for ourselves,
and put our faith in,
    the love God has for us.
God is love,
and whoever remains in love 
    remains in God 
and God in him.

 
 

1 John 4: 19-21

Let us love, then,
because he first loved us.
Anyone who says ‘I love God’
and hates his brother,
is a liar,
since whoever does not love the brother
   whom he can see
cannot love God whom he has not seen.
Indeed this is the commandment
   we have received from him,
that whoever loves God,
   must also love his brother.

  

1 John 5: 5-12

Who can overcome the world
but the one who believes
    that Jesus is the Son of God?
He it is who came by water and blood,
Jesus Christ,
not with water alone
but with water and blood,
and it is the Spirit that bears witness,
for the Spirit is Truth.
So there are three witnesses,
the Spirit, water and blood;
and the three of them coincide.
If we accept
     the testimony of human witnesses,
God’s testimony is greater,
for this is God’s testimony
which he gave about his Son.
Whoever believes in the Son of God
has this testimony within him,
and whoever does not believe
is making God a liar,
because he has not believed
the testimony
    God has given about his Son.
This is the testimony:
God has given us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son.
Whoever has the Son has life,
and whoever has not the Son of God
    has not life.
 

    

Excerpt of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, by Louis J. Puhl, S.J. pp. 141-146

  

313. RULES FOR DISCERNMENT OF SPIRITS
I

Rules for understanding to some extent the different movements produced in the soul and for recognizing those that are good to admit them, and those that are bad, to reject them. These rules are more suited to the first week
  

314.  I.  In the case of those who go from one mortal sin to another, the enemy is ordinarily accustomed to propose apparent pleasures. He fills their imagination with sensual delights and gratifications, the more readily to keep them in their vices and increase the number of their sins.

    With such persons the good spirit uses a method which is the reverse of the above. Making use of the light of reason, he will rouse the sting of conscience and fill them with remorse.

315.  2.  In the case of those who go on earnestly striving to cleanse their souls from sin and who seek to rise in the service of God our Lord to greater perfection, the method pursued is the opposite of that mentioned in the first rule.

    Then it is characteristic of the evil spirit to harass with anxiety, to afflict with sadness, to raise obstacles backed by fallacious reasonings that disturb the soul. Thus he seeks to prevent the soul from advancing.

    It is characteristic of the good spirit, however, to give courage and strength, consolations, tears, inspirations, and peace. This He does by making all easy, by removing all obstacles so that the soul goes forward in doing good.

316.  3.  SPIRITUAL CONSOLATION.  I call it consolation when an interior movement is aroused in the soul, by which it is inflamed with love of its Creator and Lord, and as a consequence, can love no creature on the face of the earth for its own sake, but only in the Creator of them all. It is likewise consolation when one sheds tears that move to the love of God, whether it be because of sorrow for sins, or because of the sufferings of Christ our Lord, or for any other reason that is immediately directed to the praise and service of God. Finally, I call consolation every increase of faith, hope, and love, and all interior joy that invites and attracts to what is heavenly and to the salvation of one's soul by filling it with peace and quiet in its Creator and Lord.

317.  4.  SPIRITUAL DESOLATION.  I call desolation what is entirely the opposite of what is described in the third rule, as darkness of soul, turmoil of spirit, inclination to what is low and earthly, restlessness rising from many disturbances and temptations which lead to want of faith, want of hope, want of love. The soul is wholly slothful, tepid, sad, and separated, as it were, from its Creator and Lord. For just as consolation is the opposite of desolation, so the thoughts that spring from consolation are the opposite of those that spring from desolation.

318.  5.  In time of desolation we should never make any change, but remain firm and constant in the resolution and decision which guided us the day before the desolation, or in the decision to which we adhered in the preceding consolation. For just as in consolation the good spirit guides and counsels us, so in desolation the evil spirit guides and counsels. Following his counsels we can never find the way to a right decision.

319.  6.  Though in desolation we must never change our former resolutions, it will be very advantageous to intensify our activity against the desolation. We can insist more upon prayer, upon meditation, and on much examination of ourselves. We can make an effort in a suitable way to do some penance.

320.  7.  When one is in desolation, he should be mindful that God has left him to his natural powers to resist the different agitations and temptations of the enemy in order to try him. He can resist with the help of God, which always remains, though he may not clearly perceive it. For though God has taken from him the abundance of fervor and overflowing love and the intensity of His favors, nevertheless, he has sufficient grace for eternal salvation.

321.  8.  When one is in desolation, he should strive to persevere in patience. This reacts against the vexations that have overtaken him. Let him consider, too, that consolation will soon return, and in the meantime, he must diligently use the means against desolation which have been given in the sixth rule.

322.  9.  The principal reasons why we suffer from desolation are three:

    The first is because we have been tepid and slothful or negligent in our exercises of piety, and so through our own fault spiritual consolation has been taken away from us.

    The second reason is because God wishes to try us, to see how much we are worth, and how much we will advance in His service and praise when left without the generous reward of consolations and signal favors.

    The third reason is because God wishes to give us a true knowledge and understanding of ourselves, so that we may have an intimate perception of the fact that it is not within our power to acquire and attain great devotion, intense love, tears, or any other spiritual consolation; but that all this is the gift and grace of God our Lord. God does not wish us to build on the property of another, to rise up in spirit in a certain pride and vainglory and attribute to ourselves the devotion and other effects of spiritual consolation.

323.  10.  When one enjoys consolation, let him consider how he will conduct himself during the time of ensuing desolation, and store up a supply of strength as defense against that day.

324.  11.  He who enjoys consolation should take care to humble himself and lower himself as much as possible. Let him recall how little he is able to do in time of desolation, when he is left without such grace or consolation.

    On the other hand, one who suffers desolation should remember that by making use of the sufficient grace offered him, he can do much to withstand all his enemies. Let him find his strength in his Creator and Lord.

325.  12.  The enemy conducts himself as a woman. He is a weakling before a show of strength, and a tyrant if he has his will. It is characteristic of a woman in a quarrel with a man to lose courage and take to flight if the man shows that he is determined and fearless. However, if the man loses courage and begins to flee, the anger, vindictiveness, and rage of the woman surge up and know no bounds. In the same way, the enemy becomes weak, loses courage, and turns to flight with his seductions as soon as one leading a spiritual life faces his temptations boldly, and does exactly the opposite of what he suggests. However, if one begins to be afraid and to lose courage in temptations, no wild animal on earth can be more fierce than the enemy of our human nature. He will carry out his perverse intentions with consummate malice.

326.  13.  Our enemy may also be compared in his manner of acting to a false lover. He seeks to remain hidden and does not want to be discovered. If such a lover speaks with evil intention to the daughter of a good father, or to the wife of a good husband, and seeks to seduce them, he wants his words and solicitations kept secret. He is greatly displeased if his evil suggestions and depraved intentions are revealed by the daughter to her father, or by the wife to her husband. Then he readily sees he will not succeed in what he has begun. In the same way, when the enemy of our human nature tempts a just soul with his wiles and seductions, he earnestly desires that they be received secretly and kept secret. But if one manifests them to a confessor, or to some other spiritual person who understands his deceits and malicious designs, the evil one is very much vexed. For he knows that he cannot succeed in his evil undertaking, once his evident deceits have been revealed.

327.  14.  The conduct of our enemy may also be compared to the tactics of a leader intent upon seizing and plundering a position he desires. A commander and leader of an army will encamp, explore the fortifications and defenses of the stronghold, and attack at the weakest point. In the same way, the enemy of our human nature investigates from every side all our virtues, theological, cardinal, and moral. Where he finds the defenses of eternal salvation weakest and most deficient, there he attacks and tries to take us by storm.

328. RULES FOR DISCERNMENT OF SPIRITS
II

Further rules for understanding the different movements produced in the soul. They serve for a more accurate discernment of spirits and are more suitable for the second week
  

329.  1.  It is characteristic of God and His Angels, when they act upon the soul, to give true happiness and spiritual joy, and to banish all the sadness and disturbances which are caused by the enemy.
   It is characteristic of the evil one to fight against such happiness and consolation by proposing fallacious reasonings, subtilties, and continual deceptions.

330.  2.  God alone can give consolation to the soul without any previous cause. It belongs solely to the Creator to come into a soul, to leave it, to act upon it, to draw it wholly to the love of His Divine Majesty. I said without previous cause, that is, without any preceding perception or knowledge of any subject by which a soul might be led to such a consolation through its own acts of intellect and will.

331.  3.  If a cause precedes, both the good angel and the evil spirit can give consolation to a soul, but for a quite different purpose. The good angel consoles for the progress of the soul, that it may advance and rise to what is more perfect. The evil spirit consoles for purposes that are the contrary, and that afterwards he might draw the soul to his own perverse intentions and wickedness.

332.  4.  It is a mark of the evil spirit to assume the appearance of an angel of light. He begins by suggesting thoughts that are suited to a devout soul, and ends by suggesting his own. For example, he will suggest holy and pious thoughts that are wholly in conformity with the sanctity of the soul. Afterwards, he will endeavor little by little to end by drawing the soul into his hidden snares and evil designs.

333.  5.  We must carefully observe the whole course of our thoughts. If the beginning and middle and end of the course of thoughts are wholly good and directed to what is entirely right, it is a sign that they are from the good angel. But the course of thoughts suggested to us may terminate in something evil, or distracting, or less good than the soul had formerly proposed to do. Again, it may end in what weakens the soul, or disquiets it; or by destroying the peace, tranquility, and quiet which it had before, it may cause disturbance to the soul. These things are a clear sign that the thoughts are proceeding from the evil spirit, the enemy of our progress and eternal salvation.

334.  6.  When the enemy of our human nature has been detected and recognized by the trail of evil marking his course and by the wicked end to which he leads us, it will be profitable for one who has been tempted to review immediately the whole course of the temptation. Let him consider the series of good thoughts, how they arose, how the evil one gradually attempted to make him step down from the state of spiritual delight and joy in which he was, till finally he drew him to his wicked designs. The purpose of this review is that once such an experience has been understood and carefully observed, we may guard ourselves for the future against the customary deceits of the enemy.

335.  7.  In souls that are progressing to greater perfection, the action of the good angel is delicate, gentle, delightful. It may be compared to a drop of water penetrating a sponge.
    The action of the evil spirit upon such souls is violent, noisy, and disturbing. It may be compared to a drop of water falling upon a stone.
    In souls that are going from bad to worse, the action of the spirits mentioned above is just the reverse. The reason for this is to be sought in the opposition or similarity of these souls to the different kinds of spirits. When the disposition is contrary to that of the spirits, they enter with noise and commotion that are easily perceived. When the disposition is similar to that of the spirits, they enter silently, as one coming into his own house when the doors are open.

336.  8.  When consolation is without previous cause, as was said, there can be no deception in it, since it can proceed from God our Lord only. But a spiritual person who has received such a consolation must consider it very attentively, and must cautiously distinguish the actual time of the consolation from the period which follows it. At such a time the soul is still fervent and favored with the grace and aftereffects of the consolation which has passed. In this second period the soul frequently forms various resolutions and plans which are not granted directly by God our Lord. They may come from our own reasoning on the relations of our concepts and on the consequences of our judgments, or they may come from the good or evil spirit. Hence, they must be carefully examined before they are given full approval and put into execution.

Revelation 1: 4-8

John, to the seven churches of Asia: grace and peace to you from him who is, who was, and who is to come, from the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the First–born from the dead, the highest of earthly kings. He loves us and has washed away our sins with his blood, and made us a Kingdom of Priests to serve his God and Father; to him, then, be glory and power for ever and ever. Amen. Look, he is coming on the clouds; everyone will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the races of the earth will mourn over him. Indeed this shall be so. Amen. ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.
 

    

Revelation 2: 7

Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches: those who prove victorious I will feed from the tree of life set in God's paradise.

    

Revelation 4: 1

Then, in my vision, I saw a door open in heaven and heard the same voice speaking to me, the voice like a trumpet, saying, ‘Come up here: I will show you what is to take place in the future.’

Excerpt from September 24, 1998

Messenger: Some time between Ascension Thursday, May 21, 1998 and Pentecost, May 31, 1998.

I saw a vision of an open door, the light within it resembled the light of the vision of March 26, 1996 that can be found in the Apostles Manual (p. 34-36).

The open door was glistening with this reflective golden color mirror-like light. I cannot describe, as I could not describe concerning the 3 main visions, the first being March 26, 1996.

The closest light I can describe to this is the sun reflecting on the water at Tom's Farm but this too leaves an emptiness to its description.

There was a little white sheep at the bottom of the open, glistening door and the little sheep hobbled over a small threshold and went in.

The door was rounded on the top, no corners, like a semi-circle on the top, and the wall surrounding this door was black. The light I describe was within this door and peered out to me in the vision.

I heard our Lord over and over again cry out during this period, "Come out of your tombs, dead, dead, dead, you are dead."

I heard the words similar to the message of May 21, 1998.

I was walled in on all sides – BARS – a prison of my own making. I turned and there was a wall missing and I gaily walked into the free night and the sun followed me as I walked.

I hear Jesus speak: "I am the gateway that leads to freedom."

I know the sea of glass from the vision of March 26, 1996. I know the open door from the vision.

I know the Power, I know the Intimate Burning Heart of Jesus in the Mass.

Revelation 5: 6-14

    Then I saw, in the middle of the throne with its four living creatures and the circle of elders, a Lamb standing that seemed to have been sacrificed; it had seven horns, and it had seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits that God has sent out over the whole world, The Lamb came forward to take the scroll from the right hand of the One sitting on the throne, and when he took it, the four living creatures prostrated themselves before him and with them the twenty–four elders; each one of them was holding a harp and had a golden bowl full of incense which are the prayers of the saints. 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.

    In my vision, I heard the sound of an immense number of angels gathered round the throne and the living creatures and the elders; there were ten thousand times ten thousand of them and thousands upon thousands loudly chanting:

    Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed
    to receive power, riches, wisdom,
    strength, honour, glory and blessing.

Then I heard all the living things in creation - everything that lives in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, crying:

    To the One seated on the throne
        and to the Lamb,
    be all praise, honour, glory and power,
    for ever and ever.

And the four living creatures said, 'Amen'; and the elders prostrated themselves to worship.

Revelation 12: 1-2

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.

Revelation 19: 5-9

Then a voice came from the throne; it said 'Praise our God, you servants of his and those who fear him, small and great alike.' And I heard what seemed to be the voices of a huge crowd, like the sound of the ocean or the great roar of thunder, answering, 'Alleluia! The reign of the Lord our God Almighty has begun; let us be glad and joyful and give glory to God, because this is the time for the marriage of the Lamb. His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress herself in dazzling white linen, because her linen is made of the goods deeds of the saints.' The angel said, 'Write this, "Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb,"' and he added, 'These words of God are true.'

  

Revelation 21: 1-4

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'

  

Revelation 22: 6-7

    The angel said to me, ‘All that you have written is sure and will come true: the Lord God who inspires the prophets has sent his angel to reveal to his servants what is soon to take place. I am coming soon!’ Blessed are those who keep the prophetic message of this book.

   

Revelation 22: 12-13

Look, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to repay everyone as their deeds deserve. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

     

Revelation 22: 20


The one who attests these things says: I am indeed coming soon.

Amen; come, Lord Jesus.

Jesus speaks:     I call you to grow to be

                                more perfect as your
                                heavenly Father is perfect.

                            How you spend your time
                                maturing spiritually
                                will effect your life
                                for all eternity.

                            I put you on
                                earth to grow in
                                greater perfection.

                            The more perfectly you love —
                                the more perfectly you will
                                love for all eternity.

                            The more perfectly you love
                                here the greater your
                                real joy.

                            The more you learn to love like Me
                                the greater your capacity to love.

                            Many people make their own
                                misery.

                            A child disobeying their parents,
                                tipping the scales operating
                                not in the structure designated
                                by God for the family —

                                teaches themselves in every
                                    situation — in relationships
                                    to cause division to get
                                    power.

                                Carrying imperfect behavior,
                                    bad patterns of behavior
                                    make you and everyone around
                                    you unhappy.

                                Happiness is found in doing
                                    what is God's will.

                                There may be suffering, but
                                    there is happiness in
                                    suffering.

                                You are developing to be
                                    great lovers here
                                    below if you try to
                                    do God's will loving Me
                                    and all others.

                                You will have a greater capacity
                                    to love here below and
                                    will also in heaven, if
                                    you live to learn to love
                                    like Me and stay rooted
                                    in Me.

                                Pray The 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.

                                Everybody in a certain family
                                    tried to do the right thing —
                                    a son of about 18 used drugs
                                    and continually lied —
                                    he opened a certain door to evil
                                        in the home —

                                A man cheated on the books in
                                    the company — he effected
                                    every one there — his dishonesty
                                    opened a certain door to
                                    evil —

                                Sex out of marriage can open
                                    a door that can be
                                    a bad end ——

                                Live by the commandments

                                Live by My Word

  

                                Sing:  Take Lord Receive

   

From May 18, 2005 message

                           Prayer for these 17 days

                               Dear God help me to be other focused

                               Help me to be a source of joy.
                               Help me to thank You for the gifts
                                   You have given me.

                               Help me not be block the work
                                   you have called us to do by
                                   focusing on myself

                               When pilgrims come, help me
                                   to have grace to spread
                                   the message You have
                                   called me to spread.

                               Dear God help me to be holy — to see
                                   I am a little link in the big
                                   chain, a single link to help
                                   lead the world into oneness
                                   and love. When I focus on
                                   myself and do not do the work
                                   of being a light and I am
                                   to talk to pilgrims I can
                                   miss an opportunity to spread
                                   your love, through the materials,
                                   prayers, letters of love, consecration,
                                   morning offering You have asked
                                    me to spread.

                               Dear God thank You for calling me to
                                   be an apostle, (handmaid, servant
                                   etc.) help me to do Your will.

Study My Passion

November 20, 1993 10:00a.m.

Jesus speaks: ...Come to Me. See Me in their hearts and their eyes. Your looking into their eyes will shed My glare of light into them. Look into the eyes of your brothers. I taught them through your look of love. It is My love and My light I cast into their dark souls. Your eyes touch, as your hands. People may not want your touching them, but your eyes touch very deeply the souls of mankind. Strive for perfection and holiness. Do not give in to yourself and think about how you have been hurt and violated. Never cry to any man. Come to Me and cry.

I will rid you of yourself and you will know no man has any power to harm you. The more selfless you become, the more you live entirely for Me, the more you realize that I am all that matters. The more you rid yourself of you and let Me in, the less power your brothers will have over you. You give them power. You think they are important to your being okay. You are okay. You are perfect as God created you. You are My child. You do not need your brother's approval. You are above the ground. You realize your worth and your job is defined. It is to let Me use you, body and soul, to do My work. This takes total submission.

Whom you touch is being touched by Me. This is your work, to live for Me so I can live in you and operate from you, so I can love My people through you. Open wide your gates and let Me penetrate your soul. For I was hungry and you gave Me to eat, I was naked and you clothed Me. "When, Lord, did I do these things...?" When you did them to your brothers, you did them to Me. Amen.

Song: 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.

    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. (refrain)

    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.

    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. (refrain)

    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.

    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. (refrain)

    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.

    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. (refrain)

    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. (refrain)

Messenger:    When I attend Mass Jesus, I ask
                            for pardon and strength.

Jesus speaks:     Many do not examine their conscience.

                            Being honest to oneself will help a soul be
                                closer to me.

                            I want purity of heart.

                            I want My bride to wear a white
                                dress, but many think they
                                are perfect, they lie to
                                themselves about the truth.
                                Many use passive-aggressive
                                behavior.

                            I am God
                            I am Perfect

                            To be close to Me you are always
                                striving to look at your
                                sins and be forgiven.

                            Examining your conscience at least
                                once a day is very important.

                            Respecting authority is an important
                                part of living in peace for
                                yourself —

                            A man wanted to win a race, he
                                gave all he could to the race —
                                he was committed and he won.

                            A person without giving oneself
                                to the mission will not win
                                the race.

                            What good does it do you to give

                                and to hurt others in the process?
                                It becomes a very tainted work
                                    when the purity of the heart
                                    for performing the action
                                    is missing.

                            When I wanted to look into your
                                eyes and tell you I love you —
                                you look away —
                                your heart may be always
                                whining — seeing yourself as unloved
                                trying to make yourself feel okay —

                            You don't even see Me before you
                                giving you the strength and love you
                                need, you take your eyes off
                                of Me — you look like a blind-
                                man at Me and you do not see
                                Me — you focus on the negative
                                words satan is trying to plant
                                in your hearts —

                            Division is division — a person
                                under authority, just like a
                                child ignoring their parents
                                will not be happy.

                            Happiness is found in this —
                                Your focus is always on Me —
                                Your love for others is real —

                            I give you structure

                            A child must obey their parents

                            Some men will not answer their
                                call to the priesthood because
                                they do not want to be under
                                a Bishop —

                            Some when they left the house
                                at 18 said to themselves
                                "Nobody will ever tell me
                                what to do again"

                            There cannot be a community
                                of religious if structure
                                with a superior is not
                                present.

                            A sign the world is not wanting
                                this leadership is that
                                very few convents exist today.

                            There are very few convents, fewer and
                                fewer priests because people are
                                reflecting the attitude in
                                the world.

                            At a common college — all can be
                                one, concerned with the overall
                                development of the students.

                            If the teachers come and all see
                                only themselves, see themselves
                                as excelling, are in competition
                                with the other teachers, rather
                                then being united for a common
                                purpose — the students
                                suffer from self-centered
                                teachers.

  

John 17: 20-23

I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
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.

Jesus speaks:     A selfish person - in a family, in
                                a group — sees themselves as
                                the end — they really fail to
                                operate for the over all oneness
                                of the mission.

                            What can happen when the community
                                being built is self centered —
                                they work against building
                                a community.

                            The Trinity is One —
                                The 3 Persons of the Trinity are One.

                                The perfect community —

                                The model for all communities

                            Here is a power cycle —
                                ALL WORKING AS ONE

                            when the action is given —
                                it is carried out as
                                the runner of a race —

                            when one is divided —
                                    one is selfish —
                                    one working against the others —

                                    they can drain the energy from
                                        the action in process and

                                        the devil can use them to
                                        try to drive it into the
                                        ground.

                            Satan works on the weakest link —
                            The one being "pressed one" to act
                                adversely — to cry and whine
                                and think only of themselves
                                when the big day comes for
                                the event.

                            They try to take all the attention —
                                satan presses on them and
                                they give in,

                            They do not have the sense of real
                                community, of working for the
                                mission —

                            they may harbor secrets of discontent
                                and misery in their hearts —

                            when others are giving attention to
                                launching the boat on the day
                                of the big race —
                                their thoughts are always on
                                discontent and self focus —

                            then in a quantum leap forward
                                on the day of the big race —
                                they see it as an opportunity
                                to get all the attention —
                                they have not been focused on
                                the boat race and winning it —
                                they were only focused on themselves.

                            Many bricks make up a wall —

                                with every brick laid a man
                                    prayed for the mission and
                                    all the people that would
                                    come and receive grace
                                    from God and blessings —

                                another brick layer, cursed
                                    the place, reviewed his
                                    life of being made a
                                    victim and once again
                                    pinned his discontent inside
                                    of him on some innocent
                                    other —

                            The wall was built quicker by
                                a pure heart of love —

                            Every day is a day to choose happiness
                                or misery —

                            A teacher went to class every day —

                                Every day the same student
                                    caused trouble, dividing
                                    the class and distracting
                                    everyone —

                                She (the student) was so self-focused — all
                                    she saw was herself —
                                    she wanted so much attention
                                    she tried to be the lead
                                    clown in the class —

                                The teacher struggled day after
                                    day — after talking
                                    to the student — she could
                                    not stop the abrupt
                                    conduct of the selfish student —

                                The teacher went to those above
                                    and they did not help —

                                The problem was inside of the
                                    student — she was selfish —
                                    she did not think of the other
                                    31 students trying to learn —
                                    she tried to get the floor —
                                    talked out and over the class —
                                    she was an adult about 18 or 19
                                        but she wanted the floor.

                                In community those acting like this
                                    can take the life from the
                                    community and the seeds of division
                                    they plant and wanting attention
                                    can take over at Church.

                                When one went to a certain Church
                                    the love was felt —
                                    they were all working for a
                                        common goal —
                                    they operated as a glove —

                                The love and oneness they had was
                                    felt, it was an atmosphere
                                    of love.

                                In going into a class room with
                                    an unruly student as previously
                                    mentioned — there was tension —
                                    it was not fair to the teacher or
                                    others, but the girl had the
                                    problem and was blind to her
                                    selfishness and unwilling to listen
                                    or to change.

                                The Trinity is One —

                                The Trinity is the Most Perfect
                                    Community —

                                Satan comes and works in a group
                                    on the weakest link —
                                    the problem is in the individual
                                        most times

                                    Selfishness

                                    Self focus

                                    Not wanting to be under anyone

                                    Not willing to take directions —

                                    Competition for the leadership

                                    Passive-Aggressive measures —
                                        emotional control to be above

                            I have asked you to be holy —

                                ask yourselves —
                                    why are most of the convents
                                        closing or have only a
                                        few members —

                                people are taught by the world to
                                    be self-centered

                                Where children were taught to obey
                                    parents — now the parents
                                    many times are made wrong and
                                    the children in schools can
                                    have parents checked out
                                    when it is not right (some
                                    parents may be unjustfully
                                    treating children)

                                Parents are not taught to be respected
                                    today as they should be as the
                                    4th commandment states 

                                        4. Honor your father and your mother.

Jesus speaks:        The sex scandal in the Church
                                    hurt the respect for good priests
                                    and the Church.

                                I have watched people emotionally
                                    try to control others. They
                                    seek the top — they are not
                                    the leader so they cause
                                    conflict beneath — like the
                                    girl in the classroom to
                                    get emotional control —

                                These people never see themselves
                                    as doing anything wrong —
                                    I tell you this a community of
                                    individuals that does not honestly examine
                                    their conscience will have
                                    those who use patterned
                                    selfish behavior to deal with
                                    habitually.

                                When everyone in the group is
                                    happy and working together and
                                    you don't like it because
                                    you are not the superior and
                                    not getting the attention and then
                                    press day after day after day
                                    on the superior — your motives
                                    are selfish and self focused
                                    and you are not the runner
                                    running to win the race, but one only
                                    giving into the devil who is
                                    telling you with envy — you
                                    should be in charge and no
                                    body else laughing, because
                                    you aren't in charge.

  

Excerpt from Response to God's Love, 
  
by Father Edward Carter, S.J.

                                 1

The Mystery of Christ and
            Christian Existence

   ...In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).

Jesus speaks:     Today is the third day

                                I call you to love —
                                I call you to admit your sins —
                                    to give into jealousy and envy is
                                    wrong.

                                To be prideful is wrong.

                                A little girl was taught to play
                                    one against the other.

                                    When she was home she played
                                        up to dad and tried to
                                        make her mom envious.

                                    She was causing division for
                                        power.

                                    Rightfully the parents were
                                        over her —
                                        she should have been
                                        under the parents.

                                    The dad had the top place —
                                        the mom should have
                                        had the 2nd place —
                                        She was under them.

                                    She was cute —
                                        she caused division constantly
                                            in the home trying to
                                            get the 2nd spot

                                    And she did.

                                    They lived a life of constant
                                        tension instead of love —
                                        because she manipulated
                                        the authority structure
                                        given by God.

                                    There was seeds of envy and
                                        jealousy that reigned
                                        in these relationships
                                        and suffering and lack of
                                        happiness occurred.

                                The Trinity is One.

                                There is perfect love.

                                When you do not operate in the
                                    structure designated by God
                                    there is unhappiness.

                                I operate in structure.

                                Parents are to be over children.

                                Children are to obey their parents.

                                When the little girl grew up
                                    she caused imbalance in all
                                    the relationships she was in,
                                    because she learned to be
                                    above her mother — she
                                    caused division and unhappiness

                                She set up these little situations
                                    like this to get emotional
                                    control and dominance.

                                Now there was a mother and father
                                    and the children.

                                    The dad supported the mom —
                                    the mom and dad were over
                                    the children.

                                    There was not a little girl
                                        that could compete for
                                        mom's 2nd place in
                                        the family —

                                    The family lived in happiness
                                        because the structure
                                        was lived as God intended.

Jesus speaks:        I am Head of the Church —

                                    John the Baptist paved the way —

                                    Mary's head in Florida was
                                        knocked off.

                                A community cannot work without
                                    structure.

                                If structure is not present they
                                    will be tainted and unloving —
                                    a person under another can
                                    use emotional ways to try
                                    to get emotional power if
                                    they do not have the position.

                                Problems are caused —

                                        division
                                        jealousy
                                        envy
                                        pride

                                        are found —

                                    lies are present as people
                                        fail to tell the truth to
                                        cover up their dysfunction —

                                Mary is Mother of the Church
                                    your Church will not operate
                                        as it should if Mary is
                                        not recognized as Mother
                                        of the Church.

                                I am the Head.

                                Mary is the Mother.

                                Mary is all pure.

                                When Mary is not recognized as
                                    she should be the Church
                                    will not operate as it should.

                                When Mary is not recognized as
                                    she should be the purity
                                    of people's lives will not
                                    be as it should.

                                I want you to put Mary in your hearts in her
                                    rightful role as Mother of
                                    Church.

                                I want you to go to Mary all pure.

Jesus speaks:        Mary is the singular vessel —

                                    Mary is the door to deeper
                                        union with the Trinity.

                                If Mary's role is a weak role
                                    by her children — you will
                                    not have the unity and love among
                                    your members in the Church

                                Mary is model — she is the New Eve

                                I am the New Adam —

                                I am God —

                                Adam and Eve sinned —

                                You suffer from the effects of
                                    original sin

                                    tendencies toward
                                        lust
                                        jealousy
                                        envy
                                        pride

                                You cannot give into these
                                    temptations.

                                You must do what is right.
                                You must forgive.

                                You must love God with your whole
                                    heart, your whole soul, your
                                    whole being.

                                You must love your neighbor
                                    as yourself.

                                Go to Church.

                                Go to Confession

                                Examine your conscience everyday.

                                If the whole class obeys, but the
                                    girl disrupts the whole class
                                    if they are good and she is
                                    not acting justly how this
                                    effects others.

                                Why do you not have convents
                                    like I desire?

                                I have asked you in the Shepherds of Christ
                                    to form the Servants and
                                    Handmaids of the Good Shepherd.

                                If you want centers of love then
                                    people must do what is right.

                                Homes with dysfunction can be
                                    homes of great pain, instead
                                    of joy.

                                Children that do dysfunctional
                                    things grow up and continue those
                                    dysfunctional ways.

                                Satan tells you — you are perfect --
                                    they are at fault —

                                You must examine your own
                                    conscience or you will

                                    NOT BE HAPPY.

                                People with secrets — that lie to
                                themselves about their faults
                                    are not happy —

                                The world is in the state of becoming —

                                The world is imperfect —

                                Only in begging to know your faults
                                    will you receive light to grow —

 

                                    Pray to be holy  say

                                Dear God,

                                    I want to be one with You —
                                    I want to be one with all others.
                                    Imperfections that I deny drives
                                        me from this oneness.

                                    Help me God to love You by
                                        admitting my faults —
                                        saying I am sorry and
                                        giving mercy to others.

                                    Sing: Loving and Forgiving

                                    Holy Spirit enlighten me to do
                                        your will.

                                    Holy Spirit help me to see
                                        what I need to see.

                                    Dear God help our families,
                                        communities, Churches to
                                        be places of love.

 

Jesus speaks:         There were two people wanting
                                    to get married.

                                They both had many imperfections
                                    but they loved each other and
                                    wanted to be united forever.

                                At first the imperfections were
                                    like pointing fingers poking
                                    the sides of each other, but
                                    with love and forgiveness and
                                    committedness to the marriage
                                    they grew in greater oneness
                                        every day —

                                    growing in greater perfection
                                        takes the desire to
                                        want to change and be
                                        more perfected as your
                                        heavenly Father is perfect —

                                Growing in oneness is a top
                                    priority.

                                The Trinity has 3 Persons
                              and is One.

                                The Trinity operates in
                                   
Perfect love

                                I am God and I am love —

                                You are imperfect —

                                Much of your patterned
                                    imperfections you are
                                    blind to — only through
                                    prayer and grace can you
                                    change

                                Others never change because
                                    they think they are perfect —

                                They do not forgive

                                They do not want to really
                                    take the chance to get
                                    close to others.

                                Loving means you take
                                    the chance to get hurt,
                                    to be misunderstood —
                                    to grow through trials
                                    to a greater understanding.

                                The person that will not open
                                    themselves is really unhappy —

                                They are longing for the love
                                    they desire — the oneness
                                    they were created for
                                    but they never take the
                                    chance to even look at
                                    any imperfections so they
                                    really remain closed —
                                    they won't change their
                                    patterned ways, they may
                                    never forgive —
                                    if something is wrong —
                                    they always reason its
                                        your fault and they always
                                        walk away with
                                        a white dress they think —

                                Anyone not living in the truth —
                                    thinking they are perfect —
                                    having bitterness
                                    envy, hatred inside
                                    is miserable —

                                They are locked up like
                                    an onion with the
                                    skin on it —
                                    a garlic with skin —

                                they are dressed like a
                                    locked vault and
                                    their spontaneity is
                                    dampened —

                                You cannot be divided and
                                    one at the same time —

                                You cannot lie and tell
                                    the truth at the
                                    same time —

                                You cannot commit sin
                                    and not commit sin
                                    at the same time —

                                You cannot hate and love
                                    at the same time —

                                Give me your heart and let
                                    go — quit your games —

                                    pray hourly
                                    pray to the Holy Spirit

                                The Retreat in June 10-13
                                    will change your life —
                                    great grace is given for
                                        healing —

                                    you can see the places where
                                        big furniture is in your
                                        dark room that you keep
                                        bumping into

                                    you can learn about
                                        your sins

 55. SECOND EXERCISE

This is a meditation on our sins. After the prepara-
tory prayer and two preludes there are five points
and colloquy.

                                PRAYER.  The preparatory prayer will be the same.

                                FIRST PRELUDE.  This will be the same as in the First
                                Exercise.
                                S
ECOND PRELUDE.  This is to ask for what I desire.
                                Here it will be to ask for a growing and intense sorrow
                                and tears for my sins.

                                56. FIRST POINT.  This is the record of my sins. I will
                                call to mind all the sins of my life, reviewing year by
                                year, and period by period. Three things will help me
                                in this:  First, to consider the place where I lived;
                                secondly, my dealings with others; thirdly, the office I
                                have held.

57. SECOND POINT.  I will weigh the gravity of my sins,
and see the loathesomeness and malice which every
mortal sin I have committed has in itself, even though
it were not forbidden.

58. THIRD POINT.  I will consider who I am, and by
means of examples humble myself:

    1. What am I compared with all men?
    2. What are all men compared with the angels and
saints of paradise?
    3. Consider what all creation is in comparison with
God. Then I alone, what can I be?
    4. I will consider all the corruption and loathsome-
ness of my body.
    5. I will consider myself as a source of corruption
and contagion from which has issued countless sins and
evils and the most offensive poison.

59. FOURTH POINT.  I will consider who God is against
whom I have sinned, going through His attributes and
comparing them with their contraries in me: His wisdom
with my ignorance, His power with my weakness,
His justice with my iniquity, His goodness with my
wickedness.

60. FIFTH POINT.  This is a cry of wonder accom-
panied by surging emotion as I pass in review all
creatures. How is it that they have permitted me to
live, and have sustained me in life! Why have the
angels, though they are the sword of God's justice,
tolerated me, guarded me, and prayed for me! Why
have the saints interceded for me and asked favors for
me! And the heavens, sun, moon, stars, and the
elements; the fruits, birds, fishes, and other animals—why
have they all been at my service! How is it that the
earth did not open to swallow me up, and create new
hells in which I should be tormented forever!

61. COLLOQUY.  I will conclude with a colloquy,
extolling the mercy of God our Lord, pouring out my
thoughts to Him, and giving thanks to Him that up to
this very moment He has granted me life. I will
resolve with His grace to amend for the future. Close
with an Our Father.

 65. FIFTH EXERCISE
  
        This is a meditation on hell. Besides the prepara-
       
tory prayer and two preludes it contains five points
        and a colloquy
.

                                PRAYER.  The preparatory prayer will be as usual. 

                                FIRST PRELUDE.  This is a representation of the place.
                                Here it will be to see in imagination the length,
                                breadth, and depth of hell.

                                SECOND PRELUDE.  I should ask for what I desire. Here
                                it will be to beg for a deep sense of the pain which the
                                lost suffer, that if because of my faults I forget the love
                                of the eternal Lord, at least the fear of these punish-
                                ments will keep me from falling into sin.

                                66. FIRST POINT.  This will be to see in imagination
                                the vast fires, and the souls enclosed, as it were, in
                                bodies of fire.

67. SECOND POINT.  To hear the wailing, the howling,
cries, and blasphemies against Christ our Lord and
against His saints.

68. THIRD POINT.  With the sense of smell to perceive
the smoke, the sulphur, the filth, and corruption.

69. FOURTH POINT.  To taste the bitterness of tears,
sadness, and remorse of conscience.

70. FIFTH POINT.  With the sense of touch to feel the
flames which envelop and burn the souls.

71. COLLOQUY.  Enter into conversation with Christ
our Lord. Recall to memory that of those who are in
hell, some came there because they did not believe in the
coming of Christ; others, though they believed, because
they did not keep the Commandments. Divide them
all into three classes:

    1. Those who were lost before the coming of Christ;
    2. Those who were lost during His lifetime;
    3. Those who were lost after His life here on earth.

    Thereupon, I will give thanks to God our Lord that
He has not put an end to my life and permitted me
to fall into any of these three classes.
    I shall also thank Him for this, that up to this very
moment He has shown Himself so loving and merciful
to me.
    Close with an Our Father.

praise and service of His Divine Majesty.
