Messenger:

Our Lady of China

Messenger:              Today is the Feast of Mary, Mother of God.
                            So many of her children won't even think of Mary. Even
                            when she appears as she does it is too difficult to
                            let go of the things of the world for many people and
                            so they ignore the very strong sign that Mary
                            gives us.

January 1, 2002 message continues

Mary speaks:         My children, I am appearing to you. I am your heavenly
                            mother. My children who are angry and so set in their
                            ways of seeking their reward only in this world are the
                            ones who will not even pay attention to this sign.
                            As much as it may hurt you when you are persecuted
                            by others not understanding, you must offer it up and
                            pray for them. My children, their souls are at stake.

January 1, 2002 message continues

Jesus speaks:          Here is a message I have given to you many years
                            ago. Crying because of things they have said to you will
                            just make you weak so you won't have energy
                            to help Me.

                                You are at battle. Do you think Mary would be appearing
                            as a messenger from God saying this 

Excerpt from
The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje

    You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

    The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. ⁽¹²⁾

    To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. if not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

    But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. ⁽¹³⁾

January 1, 2002 message continues

Jesus speaks:      if there was no need for her to appear.

                                My little one, it is very difficult at times and you
                            suffer, but I ask you to see Me as I carried My
                            cross to Calvary. The devil will try to tell you, you are
                            doing wrong. Silence him. Live to love and serve Me.
                            In these days of darkness in many places, after
                            Christmas, in the cold, the Christmas blues set in.
                            Oh child, live to be My light. Live for the souls. Offer
                            up the sufferings, stay connected to the Saints and
                            angels in heaven. Don't lose hope. I love you
                            so very much. You are My precious bride.
                            Patient endurance. Deep love. Soon your days will be
                            over. You lived your life to serve Me and promote
                            My Kingdom. You lived your life for Me.

Don't Wait Until It Is Too Late

January 10, 1994 3:30 a.m.

Jesus speaks:  Each knee must bow in reverence to the King. Each child must realize that he or she will someday be standing at the door to My kingdom. Each waits for entry and entry is based on your love here. Did you love God? Did you love your fellow man? Are you ready to claim an award that is fit for the glorious souls who served Me?

    I am the Alpha and Omega. All that seems to give you momentary pleasure is so passing. The things of this world are so small compared to the things of God. Ready your hearts for a mighty King. He will come unannounced and blow His trumpet. All will be called from their places and all will be unable to leave. You will be summoned and, at that point, your free will will be gone.

    Do you say, "But, Lord, Lord, I meant to serve you but it was too hard to let go of my selfish things. God, I know you call now, but I am not ready now. Can I go back and do some more good works? When You called me to love, I wanted to, Lord, but I wanted to do for myself, too. I knew I could have loved more and followed my heart, but, Lord, I don't know why I said no. I just always did."

    I am Jesus, Son of God. At this point it will be too late. When I called and beckoned you in your life to serve Me and serve your brother, you said, "No, Lord." You watched a sick world parade its sick wares in front of you and you thought for a moment's pleasure you needed to be as the world instructed.

    And I called you and I prompted you and others stood by and showed you My ways. And you said, "Oh, no, I need no ways of God. I love the world, sick or not, and I will be loyal to all its crafty ways. I didn't like the murder of the babies. I didn't like the homosexuality. I didn't think the filthy sex on TV was right, but I wanted to be loyal to the world so I accepted their sick ways and shunned you, Lord.

    "At Your name I balked and I went along with a stiff jaw and a hardened heart and was taught the things of the world. I felt You, Lord, at the door of my heart. I knew You were there from time to time. I wanted to let You in someday, but, Lord, that day never came. Now I know You are truly here and You are beautiful. Let me live again and I will now put You in my life. Give me another chance, Lord. Now that I behold You and Your goodness, I see the error in my ways and I want to love You. I don't know why I turned my back on You. I just did."

    You, My child, were willful. You plugged up My line to you and you chose sin instead of the ways of God. You took your life for yourself and you never once did My work. You shunned Me. You laughed at Me. You made fun of Me, but still went to church, just in case it was real. Blessed are they who have not seen and have believed. I was there at every turn. I paraded in front of you and I pursued you with a heart of Godly love, but you turned away and spit in My face. Your hearts became hard and your jaw stiff and you followed a road that lead you to the destruction of your soul.

    I say to you, My child, now, before you are called by Me: why do you turn your back on Him Who loves you? Why do you battle for a devilish world when the tender heart of God waits for you? How can you, with this beautiful heart created for God and longing to love God, say, "No, God, I need you not," and turn to such sterile, sick, cold acts that the world gives you? Money is so cold. Do you feel the change you pick up? It is like ice! It does not warm a cold heart. It feels as it is, cold and hard. Dollar bills are paper, little pieces of used, dirty paper. You choose these things when a heart on fire with love of you waits by your side. You choose an evil society that murders babies and talk about your rights as a person when I preach dignity and love for you!

    Oh, child, how I love you. If you are reading this letter, it is not too late for you. I stand hyper-vigilant by your side, with a heart ablaze for love of you. I wait for you every minute of every day in the tabernacle. I am all powerful. This world has no power. The world will vanish like smoke and My ways will last forever. I am so good! I have such gifts to give your hungry soul. You stand as a starved child who hasn't eaten in years. What would a meal do for such a person? I can give you what your soul hungers after. I can give you what you thirst for. Your soul never stops longing. It roams a cold world and looks for peace and finds none. Only in God will the searching soul find rest.

    Quit going to the world, America. Your money is cold and your hearts are just as cold. You have lost touch with the warmth of Jesus. The devil has turned your hearts into ice cubes and you have silenced the longing for God in your chests so your jaws are stiff and you are hard-necked. You are going to be sorry. You missed the love of God. Nothing on this earth compares to His love and His goodness!

    You missed peace and joy in your heart. You missed them. If you have eyes to read, listen to Me. Stop it! It isn't too late. Your world leads to the destruction of your soul. You are never going to be able to come back and live your life for Me again. I come as a thief in the night and you will not know the time or the hour. I will come unannounced. All that remains for you are the things of God. Your money, your house, your clothes, your car are all passing. Like the grass of the field, they die and you will live. You cannot take one thing with you on your journey to Me except your good works and the love in your heart.

    Turn your life around. I wait for you at this moment with eager arms. I am alive in the tabernacle this day, waiting for your return. I am truly present, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, waiting there for you with all My gifts. Take the wall from your heart and let Me fill you. Your jaws will become tender and supple and you will know relief in your breast.

    You are holding yourself away from that to which you are pulled. It is a magnetic attraction which the soul has to Me. You make a conscious effort to say "no" and pull yourself from Me. Silly ones, what will you do on that last day when I call you from your sleep and say, "Now your time is over"? Then it will be too late for you to come. Then your life will be over and you will have lost the reward of everlasting life. For a few years of willfulness you lost everlasting life. I have pursued you like an ardent lover. I walked before you and sent others to teach you the errors in your ways, but you were willful and you went your own way. Now you will pay the price for your willfulness forever. Is it worth that? For what?

Jesus speaks:      My child do not cry and feel down cast, crestfallen.
                            My light will steel across the sky and many will
                                turn their hearts to Me.
                                Pray for this grace.

                            You must continue to be a deep intercessor and growing
                                in your spiritual life.

                            The Shepherds of Christ Movement has majorly already effected the
                                Church and the world.

                            You must encourage others to pray - Africa, India
                                etc.

                            Let go and rely on My Might.

                            You are dependent on Me.

                            I am God.

                            Please help Me get My Priestly Newsletter book II in the
                                hands of My priests.

                            Please help Me get My Blue Books printed immediately
                                there are hardly any Blue Books.

                            The Blue Book is so important.

                            Help Me get the messages to My people.

                            I love you.

                            I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock.

                                My child, there are many homes in which people endure great
                            sufferings. People will only change when they want to. Many people
                            will not open up to any kind of deep connection with God. A spouse
                            or other members of the family may pray continuously. Everyone
                            has a free will. The actions of one can effect everyone else and
                            what they are able to do.

                                Many times a wife or husband may endure tremendous
                            suffering in a relationship only to be left by the other
                            spouse who chooses to marry another. You must have
                            faith and stay connected deeply to your God.

                                God listens to the heartfelt prayers of widows,
                            and mothers and fathers of children, for people whose parents are ill, 
                            and children who have watched parents deteriorate and the parents
                            stay stubbornly away from God.

                                I am with you. I am with you in your trials, no
                            matter how difficult they may seem.

                                Today many people are looking for the answer with
                            a new year beginning. Many may be irritable because
                            of a hang-over, many may want to change and said
                            on New Years Day I will do..., I will do... Now
                            New Years day is here and they don't want to give up the
                            ugly habit.

                                I call you to love. Love God, love each other. I call you
                            to sacrifice, I call you to deeper intimacy with Me.
                            This is the year I want you to circulate the pictures
                            and videos and books on the Mass.

                                I want the people to pray the Morning Offering,
                            I want you to pray My Prayers Shepherds of Christ and Holy
                            Spirit Novenas.

                                Instead of a lot of New Year Resolutions, make
                            one to pray your morning offering, make one to go
                            to Mass more often, make one to pray before the
                            tabernacle, say the Shepherds of Christ prayers daily,
                            pray the rosary with your family every day.

                                Do you know how some people are for Lent.
                            They offer up cookies and ice cream, sweets of all
                            kinds, they give up chips and corn chips, they do
                            all these things and then fight with their wives
                            and husbands and children. Many people that
                            remove all their little treats in their lives,
                            favors with food, have left their wives and
                            husbands and families because they didn't have
                            something to comfort them when they didn't
                            feel good.

                                Many people operate with little treats all
                            day they give themselves. Remove their money
                            or favorite food and soon they will look
                            for an excuse for their misery sometimes in blaming
                            another person for their discomfort or blaming it on the job at work.

                                Many times foods act like comforts for people. Many  
                            people drink alcohol to help handle their pain. When
                            they don't feel good they take a mood altering
                            drug or look for sex or another person to
                            fill them.

                                The truth is - you won't be satisified
                            here below and suffering is suffering
                            it doesn't feel good. Some people grow
                            in a deeper love union with Me in suffering.
                            Take care of yourself.
                            I love you so much.

                            You are so precious to Me. I have all
                            the power.

                                I LOVE YOU,

                                OH I WANT YOU TO BE

                                    WITH ME IN HEAVEN.

                                ONLY I CAN FILL THE

                                    STARVING SOUL.

Messenger:        Oh I was craving Him, my Divine God and He gave
                                Himself to me and touched me in a
                                way that only He can do.

                            I am entirely dependent on Him.

                                He is the Might behind me.

                                   I love you, Jesus, I am your spouse.

January 1, 2002

Jesus speaks:         Remember this, the devil wants you bowed-
                            down. Choose life. Know I am with you.
                            Choose life. Take care of yourselves.
                            You may say well today it is New
                            Years, I will never eat another piece of
                            cake again. It is the all or nothing promises
                            you make that sometimes can cause you
                            problems in other parts of your life.

                                You are imperfect human persons. In a
                            second you can be snatched from your
                            place. You can be driving in a car and
                            have a fatal accident.

                                I call you to love. The devil will work
                            to try to trick you. Your life should
                            be spent in enjoying the moment, patient
                            endurance and keeping that deep oneness
                            to Me at every moment.

                                Prayer is the answer. You must take time
                            every day to reflect, to be alone with God.
                            In those moments you ask the Holy Spirit
                            to help you to know the will of God.
                            Be sensible, live by the commandments,
                            obeying the commandments will lead
                            you to greater happiness. Love!!
                            Love God and Love your neighbor.
                            Pray for those who persecute you.
                            Do not hold grudges, pray for people.
                            Rely on My Might.
                            I am the Almighty God.

God the Father speaks:

                            I am God the Father.

                             I have given you a great gift in the sign
                            given to you in Florida. Tell people
                            to carry the image picture with them and
                            pray through Our Lady of Clearwater's intercession.
                            Honor and love your Mother Mary
                            this pleases Me so very much.

                            I am your heavenly Father, I want
                            you to get the Newsletter Book II
                            to the priests and Bishops as
                            soon as possible.

                            Please do all you can to do this.
                            This will help to change the face
                                of the earth.

                            Shepherds of Christ have helped
                                change the world. You
                                must take this calling
                                as a serious mission. Your
                                daily prayers and commitment to
                                daily Mass and adoration have helped
                                to change the face of the earth.

                            Do not be afraid.

                            Do not give into satan.

                            Pray to be strong soldiers in the
                                Shepherds of Christ Movement.

                            Withstand the little irritations
                                with love.

                            Sometimes people think that others
                                are studying them and their
                                appearance matters so much.

                            What matters is your love.

                            I am a light.

                            I shine from those who stay rooted
                                in Me.

                            The devil is a trickster.

                            He wants you bowed-down.

                            Look at Fr. Carter.

                            He was a beautiful priest.

THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM AND IN HIM

God the Father speaks:

                            Look at all the people that
                                he touched.

                            LOVE!    LOVE!    LOVE!

                       BE PATIENT!

                       PRAY!

Jesus speaks:     Feel that deep connection with Your
                                heavenly Father and with Me
                                and with the Holy Spirit at
                                every moment.

January 1, 2002

From Mary Mother of God

    At that time Jesus exclaimed, ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children.

  

Mary speaks:        Learn from the little ones. Babies are dependent.

                            They suckle at the breasts of their mother. They depend

                            on someone to take care of them.

                            Little babies are pure. They can teach you about love.

                            They want to be held, they want to have that

                            deep connection with their parents.

                                You can learn from watching the babies. Some

                            babies that can barely speak, communicate more

                            clearly than adults. They cry when they are

                            hungry. They look into your eyes and want

                            their care-takers to be close. They want that

                            touching and cuddling and closeness.

                                Many things in your world teach the children

                            to be hard and unloving.

                                Study the little baby in a well loved home.

                            See how important relationship is to the baby.

                            The baby wants to know they are loved. The baby

                            wants relationship, undivided attention.

                            The baby wants time. The baby

                            is always exploring. The baby is trying to

                            learn. The baby sees opportunities, the baby

                            wants to be loved, the baby knows about

                            communication and love. The baby wants

                            time. Relationship is very important to the

                            baby. When the baby is tired, the baby

                            cries and really cries sometimes.

                                How stiff are you? Are you stiff old men

                            and old ladies? Do you hide your eyes? Do

                            you want to share love? Do you want

                            relationship? Do you know how important

                            it is to depend on each other?

                                When you are with others that are in your

                            family or in intimate relationships do you

                            have a 10 foot thick wall around you? Do you

                            wear the coat of a porcupine and if

                            someone gets too close they get a big

                            stick from your porcupine pricks?

                            Do you know how guarded some men and

                            women are? Learn from the baby.

                            See the Christ Child born in Bethlehem,

                                I am your Mother, Merry Christmas,

                                    I love you so much.

                            You are my children and I love you.

                            I appear to tell you to love.

                            God is love and in Him there is

                                no darkness at all.
