Prayer for Grace for our Country

Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.   

                January 10, 2019 - 3:33AM - Waken with big noise

                R. He must increase, I must decrease

                Jesus came the seed

                He came to sow the seed –

                He came to sow the seed –

                The seed in our hearts

                Seeds can grow to a mighty oak.

                Seeds need to take root –

                If a seed falls by the way side,
                    on cement, on stones
                    it doesn't take root,
                    it doesn't grow –

                Seeds need a good environment
                    to grow and be healthy –
                    to prosper –

                The seed that grows for years
                    and years to a very, big
                    old tree - had to start
                    with good conditions –

                How old are some trees in
                    the California forest,
                    But these trees started from
                    a little seed and they grew,
                    and got big and were
                    strong, provided shelter,
                    made other seeds for
                    more trees to grow –
                    they soaked in sunlight and
                    rain and were beautiful.

                Sometimes it takes a seed –
                    a seed in a man's heart
                    that has been rebellious
                    his whole life, drinking, hanging
                    in a bar, or a person over - sexual
                    hurting and using others –
                    or abusive –

                Look at St. Augustine, St. Monica
                    prayed for him and prayed
                    for him to get grace her whole
                    life –
                    and St. Augustine became a
                    doctor of the Church –

                Look at Saul who had St. Stephen
                    martyred – God gave him a light
                    and blinded him with scales
                    on his eyes and he was
                    changed and gave us the writings
                    of St. Paul –

                It's all grace – the grace coming
                    out of 24 hour adoration and
                    Masses in China – now 24
                    hour adoration for 15 years
                    can help bring down - so much
                    grace – all over the world –
                    Jesus wanted 24 hour adoration –
                    We have been praying in China
                    over 20 years with all day
                    adoration for the priests,
                    the Church and the world.

                I have done the 13ths since October 13, 1996.
                    23 years of 13ths. God the Father
                    called the 13ths –
                   

                R. that was 22 years ago –

                R. Mary appeared in Clearwater after
                    Jesus called the 13ths October 13, 1996
                    and He said He was calling the
                    Apostles for the completion of
                    the Fatima message.

                On January 18, 1997 the leaders were
                    giving me a very hard time –
                    there was division between
                    The Holy Spirit Center, Falmouth
                    and the Shepherds of Christ –
                    Even after Mary appeared in
                    Clearwater and especially then
                    I had much opposition –

                He warned in February, 1997 – He
                    said February 10, 1997 to Fr. Carter
                    they better stop it.

                    On March 3, 1997, 22 years ago
                the City of Falmouth flooded.
                Here is the message Jesus gave me
                early that day –

                R. We began passing out prayer
                manuals and Mary's message tapes
                in Florida as soon as Mary
                appeared in Clearwater.

                    We sent Apostles down to
                Clearwater after January 13, 1997
                and they stayed in Tom Arlinghaus'
                place to pass out materials –

                    A lot of material has been
                passed out in 22 years from the
                Clearwater site – then we got the
                waters – Jesus waters, Mary waters –
                what a gift they are.

                    God wants us to spread this
                News of the Shepherds of Christ so people
                are living a holy life rooted in oneness
                with God – with consecrated Hearts
                to Jesus and Mary – like Mary asked
                for at Fatima.

                    Tonight at 6:20 do rosary
                January 13, 1997 rosary from live
                rosary on Tom Arlinghaus' farm.
                Fr. Carter read January 11, 1997
                Father's message.

Matthew 13: 1-23

                R. Jesus calls us to Action –

                It's all grace –

                I will tell you the story of
                    the 3 pigs –

                The first pig made a house of straw –
                The second pig made a house of sticks –
                The third pig made a house of bricks –

                The big bad wolf was hungry and
                    he came and huffed and puffed
                    and knocked in the
                    house of straw –
                    the house of sticks –
                but could not blow down the
                    house of bricks –

                We have to be rooted in God –
                    Life is in Him –
                    Life is His grace in us –

                We can wander around like blind
                    men for years and miss the
                    message God is giving –

                Jesus wanted this message to begin
                    the Blue Books.

                R. Life rooted in Him.

                What good does it do a man to win
                    the world and lose His soul –

                We must build our house rooted
                    in Him – build a house of
                    bricks –

                Seeds planted on solid ground –
                    fortified with sun light
                    and rain on rich soil –

I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
     he prunes
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
     that I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
—and withers;
these branches are collected
     and thrown on the fire
and are burnt.
If you remain in me
and my words remain in you,
you may ask for whatever you please
and you will get it.
It is to the glory of my Father
      that you should bear much fruit
and be my disciples.

                Sing: We Have Been Told

                R. The Shepherds of Christ is Major to completion
                    of the Fatima message –

                Blue Book 14 was a hard time and a blessed time
                    Mary had appeared in Clearwater
                    and January, 1997 God the Father gave
                    two strong messages

                R. The leaders were fighting me –

                In February on February 13, 1997 –
                    Fr. Carter gave a beautiful talk at
                    the Holy Spirit Center
                    and the rosary was beautiful –
                    the Church was full –

                The devil wants to divide and
                    take out the Shepherds of Christ.

                This is an honor to be called
                    to be Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

                Such an honor –

                R. He must increase

                We must decrease

Matthew 25: 23

His master said to him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you have shown you are trustworthy in small things; I will trust you with greater; come and join in your master's happiness."

1 Peter 5: 7-9

Ephesians 6: 18

  In all your prayer and entreaty keep praying in the Spirit on every possible occasion. Never get tired of staying awake to pray for all God’s holy people,

Romans 8: 6

And human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to life and peace,

1 Corinthians 14: 1

Make love your aim; but be eager, too, for spiritual gifts, and especially for prophesying.

1 Corinthians 3: 1-3

And so, brothers, I was not able to talk to you as spiritual people; I had to talk to you as people still living by your natural inclinations, still infants in Christ; I fed you with milk and not solid food, for you were not yet able to take it-and even now, you are still not able to, for you are still living by your natural inclinations. As long as there are jealousy and rivalry among you, that surely means that you are still living by your natural inclinations and by merely human principles.

2 Corinthians 4: 16

    That is why we do not waver; indeed, though this outer human nature of ours may be falling into decay, at the same time our inner human nature is renewed day by day.

2 Corinthians 5: 1, 5

For we are well aware that when the tent that houses us on earth is folded up, there is a house for us from God, not made by human hands but everlasting, in the heavens.

It is God who designed us for this very purpose, and he has given us the Spirit as a pledge.

                R. God is the Power

Ephesians 4: 22-23

1 Corinthians 10: 13

None of the trials which have come upon you is more than a human being can stand. You can trust that God will not let you be put to the test beyond your strength, but with any trial will also provide a way out by enabling you to put up with it.

Hebrews 10: 24-25

                Sing: If God is for Us

The Resurrection

1. R. Jesus has told us how He is the vine and we are the branches. We must stay rooted in Him so that His life flows through us. We cannot become disconnected from the vine. We are one, joined with Him.

2. Hail Mary...

3. Jesus: I am calling you, My special apostles, to this farm on this day of October 13th, 1996. I will fill your hearts with the fire of My love, and the fire of this love will spread across the earth and many hearts will know My love and be touched through you. Open wide your heart during this rosary that I may speak to you and tell you of My burning love for you. I am giving to you an abundant sharing in My life. Open your heart. I am knocking at the door of your heart. You must not close your heart. Open wide that I can come in and fill you with My divine love.

4. R. Oh, My beloved Jesus, I see You glistening and covered in white. I know that You rose on the third day and that there is such glory in the resurrection. My life is a constant death and resurrection as I live in You.

5. R. Focus on the body of a man hanging on the cross. You see this vividly before your eyes - a man covered with blood, His head crowned with thorns. He is beaten and withered. This is the Almighty God, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came and gave Himself for love of us. Focus on this picture in your mind. Make it so clear as if you were there, as if you are seeing this with your eyes, at this moment, this man on the cross, with flesh covered with blood. Jesus died. He was locked in a tomb for three days. Now see next to this picture of this man the glorified body of Jesus, His glorified wounds, as He comes forth from the tomb. The Almighty God, our beloved and loving Jesus - He is alive, He is with us this day. He lives in us in a special way. When we are baptized and in the state of grace, God is alive within us and He shares with us His divine life. We are Christ to one another for He is alive in us.

    When I talk to you, I am seeing the Jesus that is alive inside of you. We are all gathered as one body. We see Jesus. We see Him dead on the cross. This is how much that He loved us. Do we not know that He died for us because of this great love, that He wants us to be one body? I see the vine and the branches and I see how they are so connected that the life and the fluid runs through the vine to the branches - it’s all one. We are one in Him. He has given us a sharing in His divine life. Look at us, how separate we are with each other, how we hold ourselves at arm’s length and separate ourselves from one another. We are called in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to be one flock with one shepherd.

    The Almighty God is alive and He lives in us. I went to Mass and Communion this morning and I received the Body of Christ; you receive the Body of Christ. He gives to us His life. He gives to us Himself. We must strive in this Movement to be one, to live this consecration in our lives that we are one with each other, that we put aside all of the tauntings by the devil to divide us, that we realize that division is from Satan. As we march across this United States and this world, we will carry the fire of His love, alive inside of us, for He is alive and He lives within our hearts. We are called to this special mission as His apostles to carry this message, this message of His love to the world.

    Oh, Jesus, how tenderly I love you. You are alive in my very being. You are all that I live for and I want to carry this message out to the world for you have delivered this message with such love. You are so good. Fill our hearts with the fire of Your love and give us Your abundant grace that we will have the courage to carry this message to the ends of the earth. And there was darkness. I see the darkness in the night, but the light steals across the sky and the fire of His love spreads across this earth as His life lives in us and many are touched by the fire of His love.

Song: Spirit Song

6. R. We are not like the world, we see this world and it is Godless. In many cases the world has turned away from God. It is at Fatima that Mary said that we must stop offending God. She has given to us the peace plan that we will have peace on this earth - it is in consecrating our hearts. She said until a sufficient number have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary we will not have peace in the world. She said we must pray the rosary, that we must observe the First Saturday devotion, that we must make reparation to Their Hearts. Why - why do we not do what Mary is asking us to do. It is so simple?

7. R. Mary appeared at Fatima in July, 1917 and she told the children, “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 a 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.”1

    Mary has appeared to me, almost every day from July the 5th of 1994 until September the 5th of 1995 - 14 months - this same cry that came from our Heavenly Mother at Fatima, that we must quit offending God, that we must do what she is telling us to do. This is the peace plan. He is alive and He lives in us. We are being asked to go into the world and to spread His love to the far corners of the earth.

8. R. He gives to us His life in the Eucharist. Who are we that the Almighty God gives to us, human persons, a sharing in His Divine Life. He is treated with such indifference and such neglect. If we knew, if we could see, the glories of the Almighty God, but we are so blind in our sight. We do not see and we do not hear. We must pray for the grace that we will see, that we will be the apostles that He is calling to carry this message out to the world.

9. R. He rose from the dead and He appeared to the apostles. We see Thomas - he did not believe. How are we this day? Do we believe? The Almighty God is truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the Holy Eucharist and He is outpouring His grace, His life to us. Do we believe? Do we believe that He is truly present and that He is giving Himself to us this day? He is here! He is truly present in the Eucharist and He is alive in our hearts!

10. R. He laments and laments how He is treated as a dead object. He is ignored in the Tabernacle.

    The Almighty God is here. We spend all this money and go to concerts, go to football games, all this time in recreation and the Almighty God is ignored. Mary appeared in 1917 and said that we must stop offending God. Look at our world. He has called us in the Shepherds of Christ Movement and is giving to us abundant grace that we will grow more and more in our relationship with Him and we will be His leaders going into this world carrying the fire of His love to the far corners of the earth.

    He is alive. He says, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and I am with you this day. Open your eyes and see. Open your hearts and live for I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life.

 

Our Lord Ascends Into Heaven

1. R. He took His apostles out to the place of His Ascension and He raised His arms and He ascended into heaven. Do we see the glories of these mysteries, that the Almighty God rose from the dead, that He ascended into heaven? We do not see the glory. We are so focused on the details in our lives. We see with such limited vision. The Almighty God is alive and He is here and He is calling us. Each one of us has been called to this farm, this day, for He knew you would answer this calling. He knew that in your heart you want the deepest love affair with Him, that you want to be one with Him. He has called you as His apostles to carry out His love to the world, to light up the darkness with His life alive within us.

2. R. We look out and we see the beauty of this day, with the sun in the sky and the light, and all the colors in the trees. We see the life in each blade of grass and in each leaf on the tree and tonight the darkness will cover this earth and although the trees and the leaves are still there, and this beautiful river, we will not be able to see with this clarity. The earth this day is covered with darkness for many souls have cut themselves off from the vine. They are withering and dying in their hearts. He is calling us and giving us abundant grace that we will be one in Him, that He will live in us, and as we live on this earth, He will touch others through us. This is a tremendous calling from the Almighty God - that we have been chosen and called and given this grace to be so close to Him.

3. Song: A Song From Jesus

4. Song: Little Child

5. Hail Mary...

6. R. On Ascension Thursday, 1995, I went through such an experience. First, Jesus took me to the height of heaven and I experienced such ecstasy. I was at church and later that day when I went home I was given great anguish and suffering and He called out, “I am alive, I am alive, I am alive!” and He said that He wanted Fr. Carter in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to reach the souls on this earth with the fire of His love. It was in such pain and suffering that I was buckled over and hearing the Almighty God call out, “I am alive, I am alive, I am alive”. How do we treat Jesus? Do we treat Him as if He is alive? Do we love Him with all our heart, our whole soul and our whole being? Do you hear the laments of our beloved Savior, the Almighty God, who gave Himself and died on the cross? He is alive. He wants this burning love affair with us. Many of the Masses, many of our prayers, are said with lack of emotion in our hearts. He wants us to love Him with the deepest burning love, not to go through the motions. Every prayer is a love affair with our beloved Savior. The Rosary we sing - (the Rosary song), and He wants us to say from our heart, the bottom of our heart, “Jesus, we love You. Mary, we love you. Oh, the Rosary, the Rosary, is the love of Their Two Hearts. Oh the Rosary, the Rosary, is the love of Their Two Hearts.”

    In the September 10th rosary that we circulated to you, Jesus laments how He does not receive a drop of heartfelt love from many of His beloved religious that He has chosen and loves so much. This is why He has called us in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, to pray, to pray for His beloved religious. He loves them so much and He wants, He wants this burning love from them, His chosen ones. We are gathered here for this reason - to realize that the Almighty God really is talking to us, that He has called us, that this is an important mission, that we need to pray so fervently for our priests and our religious, that this is His instrument, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, to help in the renewal of the Church and the world.

7. Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in your heart. Open your heart and let Me come inside of you. I want to touch My beloved souls this day. Will you say “yes” to this calling? Will you go to the ends of the earth and spread this movement? Will you pray, pray fervently for this intention: to lead the religious to the fires of love, found in My Most Sacred Heart?

8. Song: Spirit Song

Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in your hearts.

R. Jesus no longer walks this earth, but He is alive and He lives in us.

9. Song: “Come Unto Me All Who Are Weary..”

Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I am the Almighty God, all powerful. You see with such limited vision. You must surrender and let go and let Me run your life. You are holding on, My beloved ones. You must realize that I am all powerful, all mighty, and that I am guarding you and I am with you in a special way this day.

10. Jesus: Carry My light into the darkness.

R. And the light came across the dark sky and many were touched with the fire of His love.

    Because you answered this call, the call to be His apostle, to pray for the priests, to help spread the consecration as Our Lady has asked us at Fatima. We will not have peace in the world until our hearts are filled with love, and she says until a sufficient number have consecrated their hearts to the hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace. This is the good news. As the Movement spreads across this earth, as hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will have the peace that Our Lady has promised at Fatima but we must do as she has told us to do. We must consecrate our hearts and spread this to the world. We must pray the rosary, observe the First Saturday devotion, and make reparation to Their Hearts.

 

The Descent of the Holy Spirit Upon the Apostles

1. “When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.” (Acts 2: 1-4)2

2. Jesus: I call you, I call you, I call you, My beloved apostles. I call you to go out to the ends of the earth and to preach My love. I am longing and thirsting for My beloved souls to come to Me. Bring to Me the souls, the souls I love. I am Jesus, do you hear this call? Will you bring to Me the souls of My loved ones? Will you pray for the priests and the religious, for it is through them that I will feed the hungry souls?

R. Look at the priest, see the priest in the Mass, the priest that consecrates the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. He gives to us the Body and Blood of Christ. See Jesus in the priest, giving us His Body. Each one of us go to the communion rail and God gives to us Himself. We are one in Him. Jesus has told me how we sit in church, like stiffs, all separate, going through the motions. This is not love! He wants heartfelt love in our hearts, to realize that the Almighty God, in the greatest act of love gave Himself as a sacrifice on the cross and this sacrifice is sacramentally made present in every Mass. The Mass is a love affair with God. The deepest union with Him is to give ourselves to Mary, for we are sinners. She is the pure and sinless one. We give ourselves to Mary and we go to Him in her pure and sinless heart, to the very depth of His Heart.

    He is alive and we are the apostles that must carry this life into the world in our hearts. He is operating through us. Will we say “yes”? Do we see the world, do we see the suffering children, do we see the babies that are murdered in the wombs of their mother, do we see what the children are being fed on television..but we hold back our tongues about the love of God? When I began to receive these messages, for six weeks before, constantly I heard, “Feed the hungry, feed the hungry!” I prayed and I prayed and I prayed to know His will. In September of 1991, He called out to me, for six weeks, constantly, “ Feed the hungry!” The world is starving for the love of God! Let us feed the hungry with this love of God. Let us pray for the priests for He gives us them.

3. R. We encounter Christ through the sacraments. His life is outpoured in the Mass. Grace is outpoured in part according to the disposition of the person offering sacrifice. As we become one in Their Hearts, as the priest becomes one in Their Hearts, consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, an immense amount of grace is released on the earth. It is through this that many souls will know God, that many souls will be saved. We help in the act of redemption. We must spread this Movement to the far corners of the earth. It is as Mary said: we must consecrate our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This is the key - Mary’s heart is the gateway to going to the deepest chamber of the Heart of Christ.

4. R. We see how Peter denied Christ. We see how the apostles were afraid. We see Thomas did not believe. We see them stumble and fall and run away, and then we see them, after the Holy Spirit descended upon them. They went out into the world and thousands were converted. They were filled with the fire of God’s love. Let us, God, be filled with the fire of Your love.

    Dear Holy Spirit, give us this fearlessness to go into this darkened world and to carry the light, to carry the messages of Your burning love to the souls that are starving and are longing to be fed.

5. Song: Lady of Fatima

Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in you. Open your heart that I may touch so many of My beloved souls through you. I am Jesus. Will you say “yes”, My beloved apostles?

6. R. Look into the eyes of the children that are suffering this day. Mary has sent us on a special mission to spread the rosaries and the consecration to the children in the schools. Do you see the children, the children in the schools today that are hard in their hearts, the children that are suffering, that do not know the love of God? Mary is giving us special help to spread these rosaries in the schools. She wants this all over the United States. For nine months Mary asked me to spread the rosary and the consecration to the children. We are the apostles that He is sending into the world this day. This is what Mary and Jesus are asking us to do. It is so little - to spread these rosaries and consecrations to the schools, but Mary said at Fatima we will not have peace in the world until we do what she has told us to do. The Shepherds of Christ Movement is a great part of the completion of the Fatima message. These rosaries are a big part of the completion of the Fatima message. We must carry these rosaries to our children in the schools.

7. R. Satan presses down on us and tries to stop us. The pressure that has gone on just to have this today is unbelievable, how Satan can try to stop this. Look at the Fatima message, how it has been blocked. Why, why, why are not we paying attention to this Fatima message that Mary gave in 1917? It is the devil that has blocked this message. This is a major part of the completion of the Fatima message so we will be met with such resistance. Jesus, Jesus wants us to bring Him souls. So many souls would be saved through the First Saturday devotion. Why, why do we not talk about the Fatima message like we should - about praying the rosary and consecrating our hearts, and the First Saturday devotion, and making reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary? It is so simple but the devil has blocked this. If we want peace we should do what Mary has told us for she is the Queen of Peace and the peace of the world has been entrusted to her. We are the apostles. We are being sent into the world to carry this message.

8. Hail Mary...

The Assumption of Our Lady Into Heaven

1. R. We see Mary taken body and soul into heaven. We live here, we struggle everyday with so many struggles. We are so focused on the daily events. We do not realize that soon we too will go to heaven, if we love and serve the Lord, if we love and serve God. The world has turned Godless to a large degree. Mary appeared to me every day, except for a few days, for fourteen months and begged and pleaded thatwe spread the love of her Son to this world, that we spread these rosaries to the world, that we go to the children with the rosaries and the consecrations. It is so hard to see our heavenly Mother and to know what she is saying and to not do more. Jesus and Mary have called you here this day. You have been chosen by them. This is the message that they wish to deliver to you, that many souls are suffering and going to hell. Over and over again I heard Our Lady call out, “Please, please the souls are dropping into hell like rain. You must go out to the world and spread the love of my Son.”

2. R. On October 13th, Mary said, “I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord anymore for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.”3 This is a great gift that God has given to us - rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. For in the rosary this week Jesus said that the times ahead will be very dark and unless we discipline our minds by praying the rosary all through the day, it will be very hard for us when these dark days come. Mary is our heavenly Mother. She was taken into heaven but she is very much with us. She has told us what we must do. We must pray the rosary. She is our heavenly Mother. As a mother that tells a child what to eat and how to dress, Mary is telling us this: that we must try to pray l5 decades of the rosary every day for the times ahead will be dark and we need to have disciplined thoughts. In praying the rosary, our thoughts become disciplined. We are meditating on the lives of Jesus and Mary.

3. Hail Mary...

4. R. I saw a documentary on Fatima and in this documentary, Mary appeared to the three children and then they showed the events of World War II. The bodies were being thrown on a heap. And it just about tore my insides apart because I identified so much with watching Mary appear and then nobody listened or not a lot of people listened and World War II happened and so many people were killed. John brought a statue and asked me to read this, “One day during World War II, a group of soldiers wandered into a small French village which had been badly bombed. They stood in the village square and looked at the desolation around them. Nearly everything seemed battered and broken. Suddenly, one of the soldiers noticed something interesting close by on the ground. It looked like a statue. There were cracks and chips in it and several pieces were missing. It was badly damaged. A few of the soldiers stood it up right. Immediately they knew that it was a statue of Jesus. The men began to look for the missing parts. They put them together as best as they could and then they set the statue on a pedestal that was still standing, but the hands were missing. The men looked very carefully for the hands, but they were no where to be found. When the men were about to give up, one of them said he knew exactly what to do. He made a rough sign and hung it over the arms of the statue. The sign read, ‘I have no hands but yours.’”

5. R. Jesus gave me a message that we are His hands and we are His Heart beating in this world. We must truly be real lovers, lovers living in this world loving one another, one with each other. It is in going to the pure heart of Mary, that we will unite in this deep love affair with Jesus.

6. Jesus: You are My hands. You are My Heart beating in this world. My beloved apostles, will you say “yes”? Will you go into the world? Will you carry my light in the darkness? Will you tell the children who are suffering how I love them? Will you go to the nursing homes and tell the elderly how I am longing to be with them, to talk to them, to hear the words from their lips that they love Me? You are My apostles of love.

R. This is the anniversary of the sixth apparition at Fatima. Mary appeared every day for fourteen months to me and delivered these rosaries. That is all she kept saying: that we must lead others to the love of her Son, Jesus. The message is so simple. It is love God and love one another. All the fanciness and the frills! Why can we not live this message which is the message of love God and love each other.

7. R. We are so focused on the things of this earth and our heavenly Mother has appeared so many times and told us what we must do - she made it so clear at Fatima. Do we think our Blessed Mother will change, that she will change her peace plan? We must, we must carry this message into the world. We must do what Jesus and Mary are asking us to do.

8. Hail Mary...
9. Hail Mary...
10. Hail Mary...

 

The Coronation of Our Lady

1. Mary: I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. I am asking you this day to carry these rosaries into this world. It is through the rosary that you will have peace in your hearts. My little children, you must learn to discipline your thoughts. You must come to Our Hearts and meditate on Our lives. Our lives will live in your life as you meditate on the mysteries of the rosary.

2. Mary: There is a time, a time of struggle. There is a time of joy. There is a time when the Sacred Heart of Jesus will Reign. The time for these things is near at hand. My little children, I have called you on this October 13th, 1996. I have called you to go into this world and to carry the rosary as your weapon against Satan. It is through the rosary and the scapular that I will save this world. I am Mary, your Mother. I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.

3. R. We see the angel appear to Mary and ask her to be the Mother of God. This is the Father’s plan - Mary would be the Mother of God, and we see Mary as crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. Do we see the plan of the Father unfold in our lives? That our lives are so important to help in the salvation of many? That He is truly calling us to be apostles to carry His love, His light, into the dark world?

4. Jesus: I am with you in a special way, My beloved apostles. I am calling you this day. This is an urgent call. You must go into the world and carry My messages of love to the souls that are hungry and suffering and in pain.

5. R. Think vividly of the moment of death. There is a soul at this moment on the edge of death. How did they live their life? Think of the world today. Is the world living according to the way that God has told us that we must live? He told us that we must love God and love one another. There is a soul at this moment on the edge of death. Where will this soul go? Did the soul love God? Did it matter about his clothes and his house and all his riches? I heard Mary, Our Mother, call out time and time and time again about the souls that were going into hell. It is like the Fatima documentary - she called and people did not heed what she said and there was World War II. Mary does not appear as she once appeared and she has ceased giving messages as she once did. She still gives messages but they are not as many. She says that we are not listening to the messages that she has given and that she cannot hold back the hand of her Son any longer.

6. R. This is the good news: if we do what Mary tells us at Fatima, we will have peace. There will be the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of her Immaculate Heart in which souls will fervently love Jesus with the greatest love. Her plan is so simple but Satan has blocked this plan. Satan has blocked these rosary messages and meditations. We must pray that we can circulate the messages of Jesus and Mary to the world that is hungry and in need of help.

7. R. One day soon we will be with God in heaven, forever and ever.

8. R. Wrapped in the embrace of the Almighty God for all eternity. Heaven is a place of love for the Almighty God is love. We will be satisfied. We will know love. We will be at peace.

    But, hell is a place where there is no love, there is no community, there is isolation, there is longing for God for all eternity.

    He is alive, He is alive and He is with us this day. You must spread this message to the ends of the earth.

9. Mary: My little children, I call you children because you are My children, willful in your ways. I have called to you to pray My rosary and to spread the rosary to the hurting children in this world. I am asking you on this special day that you carry the rosary to as many souls as possible. I will aid you in all efforts to spread the rosaries to the world. Read these meditations to the elderly in the Nursing Homes, teach them about the power of the rosary, bring the rosary to the children, tell them about our lives, about our love for them.

    I am Mary, your Mother, I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.

10. Song: The Rosary

Ending Message:

Jesus: How tenderly I love you, My beloved ones. I am Jesus. I have called you this day for this special meeting. I have called you, My apostles. Will you go into the darkness? Will you spread the message of My love? Will you carry the rosary into the world? Will you touch the hearts of those that are hurting and in pain? Will you be My apostles of love? I am calling you to love God and to love one another, to be one in your hearts, to put aside all hatred and bitterness within your heart, to not give into the tauntings of Satan to divide you, to always operate in love, to focus on God. Let your hearts be filled with love.

Glory be...

“My dear friends, let us love each other, since love is from God and everyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever fails to love does not know God, because God is love.” (1 John 4: 7-8)4

                January 8, 2019

                R. Mary is the perfect handmaid of the Lord,
                    conceived without sin –

                Mary said "yes" to God –

                    demons said "no" to God –

                    Battle of free will –
                        saying "yes" to God
                        saying "no" to God

                The devil said
                    "I will not serve"

                Mary teaches us to love the will
                    of God and serve Him –

                Mary teaches us about obedience
                    to authority designated
                    by God.

                As Mother she teaches us about
                    the 4th Commandment.

                Mary teaches us about the heart.
                Mary teaches us about her Immaculate Heart.

                Mary's Heart is Immaculate and she
                    is the Immaculate Conception.

                Glory to God – God is to receive
                    glory – He has all the power.

                The devil wants people to seek power
                    for anger and hate.

                The devil wants people to disobey
                    God, rebel against Him and do
                    what they want –

                Glory to God in the highest!

                    The Father prepared Mary –
                    Mary was sinless
                    Mary pray with us
 

                R. Mary intercede with us to God to
                    help build His Kingdom.

Genesis 3: 1-7

    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.

                R. Thank You God for Mary.

                We see in Genesis how the devil
                    tempted Eve and how Adam and Eve
                    were thrown out of the Garden
                    of Paradise because they
                    disobeyed God.

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

                R. Holy is God's Name – All honor and
                    glory is God's

                Jesus: I call you to sing to Me and worship Me
                    and love Me –
                    the devil is hate – the devil comes
                    so men are prideful and disobey God.

                R. What is important is not what men
                    think, but what we do before God.

                Doing God's Plan with love in our
                    heart – giving God what He
                    wants willingly –

                Sing: Hail Mary Gentle Woman

                R. Nobody has power over God –

                From the very instant Mary was
                    conceived she was without sin –

                Our first parents lived in paradise –
                    they were brought into
                    the world without sin

                THEY WERE JEALOUS of GOD

                THEY WERE ENVIOUS of GOD

                We were born into a sinful race because
                    Adam and Eve sinned. They wanted power.

                Every time God asked her anything
                    Mary said "yes" to God.

                Mary said:
                    "I am the handmaid of the Lord"

                    In Greek that means
                        "slave of God"

                God told Adam and Eve they could not eat of
                    the tree – They disobeyed God –
                        they wanted power –

                In baptism God gives us such grace –
                    we receive a sharing in His life –
                    We can follow Mary's "yes" to God.
                    Handmaids are especially to give
                        example to this –
                    Or we can say "no" to God
                        like Adam and Eve did.

                    Mary is our Queen, Queen of heaven,
                    and earth, Queen of Peace, Queen!!
                    Mary is our model.

                R. Hail Mary pray for us –

                Mary be Queen of our hearts –

                Tower of David – pray for us –

                Mary, Queen of our hearts –
                    help us – pray for us –

                Queen of Peace, pray for us –

                We love you, Mary.

                Thanks for being our Mother

                God is all holy, the fount of
                    all holiness

                Jesus teaches us about giving –
                Jesus gives us His Body and Blood –

                God is love –

                Jesus gives Himself to us –
                Jesus loves us so much –

                Jesus teaches us about love and
                    purity, about giving
                    and kindness –

                Jesus teaches us about the light –

                Jesus shows us how He lived in
                    a family with Mary and Jesus
                    even though He is God.

                Jesus shows us how He taught
                    12 Apostles to carry on –

                Jesus worked with others –

                R. Our Father loves us – we are His little child –

                God gives us a sharing in His life
                    and feeds us –

                Grant us peace God –

                Help us to be free from sin –

                For all power is God's –

                Glory to You God forever and ever –

                Peace be with You –

                R. Behold: Jesus takes away the sins
                    of the world.

                Everlasting is God's mercy.

                God loves us so much –

                God commands us to love –
                    to be witnesses of
                    His love –
                    Christ living in us.

                Jesus: I am the vine –

                Sin brings you guilt and shame

                Sin brings darkness

                TODAY:

                    Be Agreeable

                    Encourage others

                    Be Fair to others

                    Take responsibility for your actions –

                    Every day is an opportunity to
                        grow to be like Jesus.

                January 10, 2019

                R. The Theme is doing God's will not just
                    talking about it –

                Our faith is not a matter of saying
                    the right words –
                    then doing your own will – not God's!

                We should obey in saying "yes", but
                    we must do it in actions –

                If it doesn't work in a marriage –
                    one can't keep making false
                    promises and be untrue to
                    their word –

Matthew 5: 33-37

    'Again, you have heard how it was said to our ancestors, You must not break your oath, but must fulfil your oaths to the Lord. But I say this to you, do not swear at all, either by heaven, since that is God's throne; or by earth, since that is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, since that is the city of the great King. Do not swear by your own head either, since you cannot turn a single hair white or black. All you need say is "Yes" if you mean yes, "No" if you mean no; anything more than this comes from the Evil One.

                R. It doesn't work in school, a job
                    to give a lot of talk and not
                    do it –

                If we haven't been doing what God
                    wanted it's not too late to change –

                How will this New Year be?

                Will it be more peaceful –

                Pray for peace

                We can reflect on Mary's Motherly
                    love for us.

                R. This past year was so full of politics –
                    division, pride, hatred –

                We must keep God first in life!

                As long as Adam and Eve did God's will
                    they stayed in the Garden of
                    Paradise –

                When they did their own will
                    they suffered –

Shepherds of Christ Priestly Newsletter 2000 Issue 3     

                R. We must keep God first

                Love and Pray for God's grace

                Seek God's help.

                We are blessed in our labor –

                God is the Creator and we are
                    honored to share in His work –

                Jesus was trying to help people
                    in His home town and
                    people got angry at Jesus for telling
                    them what to do –

                Jesus was a simple carpenter –

                God's work is never done –

                Be thankful for work –

                Work is a gift given to us –

                We learn from our mistakes –

                We are a work in progress –

                Do you know how hard someone
                    had to work to get beautiful
                    roses –

                We get blessings for doing God's
                    will and working –

                Each man is to do his best –

                Do and work with all his strength –

                Pray for our life –

                Pray to God to renew our
                    strength –

                Listen to those speaking God's Word

Genesis 2: 4-9, 15

   Such was the story of heaven and earth as they were created.

Paradise, and the test of free will

At the time when Yahweh God made earth and heaven there was as yet no wild bush on the earth nor had any wild plant yet sprung up, for Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, nor was there any man to till the soil. Instead, water flowed out of the ground and watered all the surface of the soil. Yahweh God shaped man from the soil of the ground and blew the breath of life into his nostrils, and man became a living being.
    Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, which is in the east, and there he put the man he had fashioned. From the soil, Yahweh God caused to grow every kind of tree, enticing to look at and good to eat, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Yahweh God took the man and settled him in the garden of Eden to cultivate and take care of it.

1 Thessalonians 4: 15

We can tell you this from the Lord’s own teaching, that we who are still alive for the Lord’s coming will not have any advantage over those who have fallen asleep.

                R. Jesus commissioned the Apostles to
                    go out and spread the
                    Good News –

                To preach to all Nations –
                    converting them –

                Go – Go – Go –
 

Colossians 3: 1-4

Since you have been raised up to be with Christ, you must look for the things that are above, where Christ is, sitting at God’s right hand. Let your thoughts be on things above, not on the things that are on the earth, because you have died, and now the life you have is hidden with Christ in God. But when Christ is revealed—and he is your life—you, too, will be revealed with him in glory.

                R. We must lead a spiritual life with
                    Christ –

                We are called to serve God –

                    He wants us to go to heaven –

                If we live the way God has taught
                    us – we will end up in our
                    Father's house

                God the Father has an eternal place
                    ready for us –
                    full of love –
                    We don't want to lose that!

                We are to spread the Kingdom of God –

                God's Kingdom is to grow in the world
                    and in our hearts –

                We plant seeds –

                We pray they will grow!

                Jesus says:

                    I am the way, the truth
                        and the life –

                R. Jesus was tortured, suffered and
                    put to death –

                He remained faithful to His
                    mission –

                He taught us - we are to obey
                    God's will –

                Pray we are ready when we
                    have to meet God –

                God raised Christ from the
                    dead –

                We pray for all of us
                    to go to heaven –

                We eat the Body and Blood of Jesus –

                We pray God to hear our
                    prayers –

                We pray we see God face to
                    face in heaven someday –

                We pray for all of us –

                We pray God is our shelter
                    and strength –

                R. We stand with Mary under
                    the cross –

                We pray for the priests, the Church and
                    the world.

                We will all have our last
                    day on earth –

                We must prepare for this –
                    prepare for this last day –

                We prepare to be ready –

                Like money saved in a bank –

                We pray to see God face-to-face, some day.

                Greater things to come!

                Life beyond grave ––

                We gave a free will –

                We can make a choice to
                    follow Christ.
