    Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately.

I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

Jesus speaks:      I love you, I love you, I love you.

                            You do not realize the glories that await
                                he that loves and serves the Lord.
                            My heart is consumed with love for you.

                            In this month of the Sacred Heart I want you
                                to fast not from food but from your
                                negative attitude, not to argue when you 
                                should do something that is My plan
                                for you and not to procrastinate.

                            With the modern technology could you
                                not understand that given such gifts
                                as you are given on the image window
                                in Florida that God would want the people
                                He has called there to have a picture?

                            Oh yea of little faith, so many gifts are 
                                given to you and you do not respond
                                with gratitude.

                            Oh of those to whom I speak, 
                                do not boast with enthusiasm
                                of the treasure you behold and
                                I call you to be My spokesperson.
                                What should I do when you
                                are glum and irritable in heart?

                            Oh My children, My Mother and I
                                are so deeply united.
                                She is the Mother of the Eucharist.
                                When you come to Our two Hearts,
                                that are so pure and go to the
                                altar of sacrifice, to offer sacrifice,
                                your offering will be so much
                                more pure.

                            Oh My sweet shepherds I call you
                                to feed My people by telling them
                                of My love.
                                My grace is sufficient for thee.

                            Do not underestimate how
                                I want to outpour My mercy to you.

                            Your mother is there to help you
                                on your spiritual journey.

                            I am Jesus, the beloved One.
                            I give Myself to you in the Eucharist.

                            Oh lights of heaven 
                                look down from above
                                upon a troubled earth,
                                shine in the dark corners,
                                a light that will help 
                                unveil the mystery
                                a mystery of My love.

Messenger:        He took me into so many ecstasies,
                                I was engulfed in the love of the
                                Divine God, wrapped in His arms.

                            And now my life is lived and I am yearning
                                for completeness in Him.

                            I know from these revelations given to me and
                                Fr. Carter that I know Him more deeply.
                                Fr. Carter was promised this on the
                                Feast of St. Ignatius.

   

13th Promise

Jesus speaks:  "I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

Messenger:        First of all, God has revealed Himself
                                so intimately in the Blue Book Messages.

                            Jesus shows us
                                that He is a personal God.

                            I have been taken to such heights
                                in which I know the Trinity so deeply:
                                Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

                            It is so beautiful — that Father's Day
                                is on the Feast of the Holy Trinity.

      

Excerpt from the Mass Book

December 20, 1995

MY EXPERIENCES

I am filled with overwhelming love for God on the beach in the Bahamas. I realized the immensity of the Almighty God and how little we are compared to Him. As a little grain of sand on the seashore, a drop in the vast ocean, yet He, in all His immense love, comes and gives Himself to us! His great love becomes apparent. Jesus took on a human nature for love of us.

Sometimes I feel very enlightened. When I feel enlightened, I see everything with such clarity. I see insights into His mysteries. It can be compared to the light of the sun. The sun is so bright and blinding, and we see every detail. It is so blinding, we feel the immensity of its power.

He releases His grace, His light, with a deep, deep light, and I see with the deepest clarity. I am wrapped in the love of all three Persons. To be as it were - one in this love, it overtakes me, and I know only love-the all encompassing love of God. I am, and I do not want anything, only to serve Him and give myself over in entire abandonment to Him. It is a state of knowing, with deepest clarity, the things of God. I call it a light. I am indeed in the light, for I am in the presence of God and I know it. I know Him in deepest oneness. I am aware of myself, my littleness, and I am aware of His love as I become overtaken by perfect love. He is Love. I experience different things at different times. I remember last year in December '94/January '95 having such a presence. It was such an awareness of God and knowing with such clarity the things of God as it said in Nb. 24:4:

…He sees what Shaddai makes him see,
receives the divine answer,
and his eyes are opened.

This is exactly what I experience when I am in this light. The last one was the greatest, when I was so satisfied and knew what it was to be one in Him, to know the magnificence of His life. I have had a constant presence of this since Dec. 15. I see in my heart a red cavern. It is warm. I feel power. His power flows from me in this union. It is He Who acts in me. I connect with the presence of the Father and the Holy Spirit working in the heart of Mary and my spiritual director and all others. My heart is empowered beyond comprehension for I am as I am in Him. I can envision Jesus and me-His Heart is red and yellow glow, and I am empowered, wishing only the will of God and being satisfied with the outcome, knowing it is His will when I am in Him. His circle is without bounds. It is more I am in a red cavity, surrounded by a yellow glow - it is an endless feeling of penetration. It empowers me for I am IN HIM!

Last year I experienced the presence of the Trinity seven times from the first Saturday in December until January 19. I felt such shame for not trying harder to spread the Good News and His love. All I wanted to do was to spread His burning love. Each time I am in this light I vow to do all I can to spread His love, for I know Him with such intimacy and I want all to know Him. I know the truth. I have been touched by the Almighty God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is up to me, as His apostle, to go out to the world and to spread His love. I just love Him so much, I want others to know His burning love.

Messenger:         I want to write about oneness.
                            I know of the Trinity and to write
                                about my relationship with each Person.

                            From these revelations
                                I have been given a deep union with my
                                Father and I know Him most intimately.
                                I am His little child and He reveals
                                to me insights into the hidden mysteries.

                            From the revelations that He has given
                                I know Him very deeply.

                            Jesus is the Bridegroom of my soul.

                            I am one with Him
                            He is my love
                            It is through Him 
                                I deeply know the Father's love.
                            I can ponder the oneness
                                between Father and Son.

                            I know the oneness deep within my soul.

                            I know the Persons of the Trinity.

                            I am deeply united to the Holy Spirit
                                and He fills my heart with love —
                                love on fire for the souls and for God.

     
 

Excerpt from Response to God's Love
  

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).

Excerpt from Response In Christ
   

Relationship with Members of the Church

e) Relationship with Members of the Church

There is but one true Church of Christ. Yet this one Church has three different states of existence. There is the pilgrim Church, the Church of this world, composed of members who have received the grace of Christ and strive for its development. They have not yet obtained the goal of their efforts, as have the members of the heavenly Church, who enjoy God in eternal happiness. The Church suffering is an intermediate state of existence necessary for those who had not achieved the required purification as members of the pilgrim Church. Although there are these three phases of the Church’s existence, there is a profound union existing between all the members. All these members possess the same basic life of grace in Christ, and this common life establishes the most intimate bonds of love. In our preceding chapter, we discussed the pilgrim Church. Let us now consider the Church suffering and the heavenly Church.

The members of the Church suffering are those who have departed from this life in an incomplete state of Christian development. Their development is incomplete in the sense that grace has not fully taken possession of them, and, as a result, they are yet closed in upon themselves to a greater or lesser degree. They as yet cannot open themselves out in complete love to the Triune God in the beatific vision. They must undergo a further purification, a purification which could have been achieved upon earth with merit. Now the purification must be achieved with no merit attached. The pain of this purification is mixed with the certain expectation of achieving the vision of God. We can hasten the advent of this vision for this people by the offering of prayers and other good works. Scripture itself refers to our action on behalf of those in purgatory in Chapter 12 of the Second Book of Maccabees beginning with verse 38.

The members of the heavenly Church are those in whom the life of grace has taken full possession and has reached its completion in the life of glory. Faith now is unnecessary, as the light of glory gives the human intellect a new strength and capacity for seeing God face-to-face. While the Christian was a wayfarer, he received the imprint of the indwelling Trinity as he shared in God’s own life. Now in heaven that grace-life and possession of God reaches its completion—the absolute completion is not achieved, however, until the resurrection of the body. The divine persons give Themselves to the beatified in a profound union far surpassing that of the indwelling of the Trinity experienced here below.

This life of heaven is still the Christ-life, for just as we possess a share in Trinitarian life here below as mediated by Christ, and exercise this grace-life as structured by Him, so also in heaven is the mediation of Christ present. In the words of Rahner, "One always sees the Father through Jesus. Just as immediately as this, for the directness of the vision of God is not a denial of the mediatorship of Christ as man."14 And not only does the humanity of Christ unite the blessed to God, but also, in some way, to the whole of creation. This is merely a completion of what is begun here below, namely, the union with Christ in His humanity establishing the Christian in a special relationship with God, with other men, and with the whole of creation. We have a glimpse, therefore, of the fullness of life which members of the heavenly Church possess.

The heavenly Church, as St. Thomas says, is the true Church.15 The Church of this earth and the Church of purgatory are, each in its own way, reaching out in loving hope for the heavenly Jerusalem. Vatican II puts it very simply: "The Church, to which we are called in Christ Jesus, and in which we acquire sanctity through the grace of God, will attain her full perfection only in the glory of heaven."16

The members of the heavenly Church can help us in living our life of grace until we too share its fullness with them. Their power of intercession on our behalf is but another ramification of the communal aspect of Christianity. We are meant to help others grow in Christ. We, in turn, are intended by God to receive aid from others—yes, from members of the heavenly Church, as well as from those with whom we dwell here below.

Not only can we be aided by the saints’ intercession, but the example of the canonized saints can also be of great value to us. They have concretely proved that full holiness is possible. Such an inspiration is of real worth when we are tempted to think that Christian sanctity in its higher degrees is impossible of attainment. Moreover, the canonized saints, in their diversity, teach us that there are many authentic versions of Christian holiness. They can be innovators in showing us that there are numerous possibilities in assimilating the mystery of Christ, although the basic assimilation remains the same for all Christians of all times. In the opinion of Rahner this is one of the chief roles the canonized saints exert in the life of the Church.17

Messenger:         The Catholic religion is so beautiful.
                            Children are taught about the Trinity
                                through the words of the Mass.

                            Mary said at Fatima that people must pray
                                the rosary.

                            Children that pray the rosary 
                                say the Glory Be to the Father
                                over and over again.

    

Glory Be

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

  

Messenger:         They pray to the Father when they
                                pray the Our Father.

  

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.

  

Messenger:         The Holy Spirit works in the Heart of Mary
                                to help reveal insights in the mysteries
                                when we deeply meditate on them.

                            Tomorrow is Trinity Sunday.

                            Let us pray for our children
                                that they will have a personal relationship
                                with the Trinity.

                            How clearly Jesus speaks in the Blue Books
                                about His Divinity and repetitiously so
                                that He is the
                                Son of God.

                            The Blue Books reveal insights
                                into the hidden mysteries.
