Messenger: To be existent in Him at every moment. As St. Paul says:
Galatians 2: 19-20
...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me...
Messenger: You lose the sense of self-consciousness. The persons
living this way are possessed in their souls by God.
My goal is to be intimately possessed by God for all eternity and life
here is a preparation for the ultimate union a soul has with God forever.
My struggle is between light and dark. We have not reached that state of
perfection that we will achieve in heaven.
He gives me little glimpses, December 15, 1995, January 13, 1999, and,
at other times, when my soul existed so deeply in Him.
There is this great elevation of my human nature, a beauty of myself I
realize, but He dominates my soul, as He did at Mass on January 13, 1999.
This is how it is in the rosary. They overtake my very being and I am
existent in Him. Mary and Jesus speak through me. It is a highly elevated state of
oneness, and after it is over, there is a period of exhaustion and adjustment. If I am
filled with His life at Mass, and before the tabernacle, silently praying, I can reflect
deeply on the experience, relive it deeply, and come through the day with an increased
knowledge of Him from that intense union in which He possesses my soul and speaks through
me as His instrument.
There is a definite period of adjustment before and after rosaries. I am
best prepared by silence and adoration, for I must go to this place in which He intimately
and ultimately acts on my soul and speaks through me.
This is a little of what happens at Mass. I know that at Mass He has
intimately united to my soul in the greatest depths. In order to be intimately united,
there must be preparation and detachment from the world and its busy, earthly matters.
It is very difficult for many of us to go to daily Mass today. I write
regarding the goal of the soul to be possessed by God most intimately. This is our goal,
this gives us the greatest satisfaction, this is the reason for our existence: to be
ultimately elevated to such an existence that we live very consciously IN HIM.
We put on Christ. He lives in us.
The priest is the shepherd through whom the Lord shepherds His flock.
There is this intense union in which his soul is so ultimately united to Christ at the
high point of the Mass when He says the words of Consecration over the bread and wine, and
they are changed into the Body and Blood of Jesus.
At that point of Consecration, the Father is so intimately one in that
sacrifice with the priest who is united in the most intimate way with Jesus in the Holy
Spirit, and the floodgates of heaven open and the grace is poured out on the thirsty souls
of the earth.
Healing, enormous healing takes place. For grace permeates the soul and
the soul receiving this grace receives healing.
At the point of Consecration in the Mass and onward, there is such
intense oneness between God and man.
On May 14, 1998, I had such an experience at Mass. I knew this
heightened level of oneness between the Father and the Son from the point of Consecration
onward in the Mass.
I experienced the most profound unity of my existence in Him, Jesus,
united in such a profound unity with the Father, that I cannot explain. I experienced very
profound oneness.
I know this place and that experience and I long to settle in it. I can
reference back to this experience. This helps me to understand the deep, profound oneness
between priest and people united to God and all of heaven and earth at that point of
Consecration.
As I write I long to exist most intimately in that moment which seems to
have taken place so long ago, but its knowledge has been implanted deeply in my soul. This
has happened so that I can explain further the great moments when my beloved God takes me
and most intimately acts on my soul. Then I am existent in Him to a very heightened level,
being elevated so greatly in my human nature, and knowing His might and His life
dominating my very soul.
Oh God, for these moments of ecstasy. The moments are most abundant when
I have properly prepared and detached myself from the worldly matters and prepared my soul
properly for these events, whatever they may be, the rosary or the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass.
I have not understood, nor have I been able to explain, how it is to sit
and let God possess my soul and speak as He does in a rosary, how it is to go to a Mass
and not know how He will act in me.
For me there is necessary a definite period of transition, preparation
and detachment, or I will not many times be able to arrive at those states of ecstasy.
He begins giving me lights and acting in my soul. Any reference to
worldly matters or the self very much disturbs me, because it interferes with the
transition period which leads to the state in which He will possess my soul most
intimately.
I write to you, for I was called from my bed on January 15, 1999, at
5:00 a.m.
It is the 70th year from the time of Lucia's vision, the painting which
I desire to be shown here. Our Lord requested Harold to paint it for our use. The
beauty of the hand of the Lord filled his hand and the expression of His presence fills
the final picture which we produce here.
With great joy I speak to you of the moments of intense union with our
King and Master.
I long for those moments in which He intimately embraced my soul and I
was so one in Him, existing in Him and experiencing His might.
On one occasion, after I had observed the silence for many days as He
had told me to do, I was given deep insight during the Mass into His power, His might.
If we knew a little the power of the Almighty God as He showed me in
that moment, we would not ever fear or try to control matters. The experience was similar
to that of Moses in which through faith he knew that God spoke to him and that He would
act.
This is the faith we all need here. If we need signs and warnings, we
are still in the realm of the earthly levels of existence.
The soul that knows Him and His might has great faith that God will
indeed bring to completion a great work in us, but we must dispose ourselves completely to
Him, as we do in consecrating our hearts to the Hearts of
Jesus and Mary.
The consecration to the Heart of Mary
takes the tainted soul and envelopes it in the immaculate, spiritual womb of the Mother,
her Immaculate Heart. This intense union with her and her purity allows the soul to deeply
slip into the recesses of the pure and holy Heart of Our Sacred King and Master.
Jesus speaks: Depth, My children, for it is depth you should seek
in order to be absorbed by My might so as to exist so deeply in My fiery Heart, consumed
with love for the soul.
Yes, My little child, My Heart is so consumed with love for souls that I
wish to posses them and take them into the most intimate existence IN ME.
The soul that is intimately alive in Me -- you do not know this life for
you have not properly disposed yourselves for this deep union with Me.
The prayers I have given in the Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual begins this
process of leading a soul into intimate union with Me. In this intimate union I more and
more possess the soul, act in the soul, and allow you to say with St. Paul,
Galatians 2: 19-20
...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me...
Jesus speaks: To My dead ones I speak, for you have focused on
the worldly aspects of the self and overlooked the celestial glory of a soul possessed by
God.
In this world that is so focused on the earthly pleasures and on living
to please the people of the earth, the great gifts I give to you are overlooked.
The earth and your existence here become the end to many. There are
rules I have given to lead a soul into the proper channels of existence. The world has
contaminated the minds of children with an earthly focus on self and self dominances.
I speak of the higher realms of existence in which a soul has its goals
clearly defined as being existent in God and living to love and to serve Him.
The world has seduced your young ones at an early age and brainwashed
them into wanting to be served and wanting to live for the pleasures of this life.
Your seminaries are not full because men do not understand the enormous
gift God gives to a soul in anointing him to the holy priesthood.
Unless the focus is changed rapidly, your barrenness will continue to
grow in greater proportions, and your lives will continue to miss the primary focus, which
is to have the goal of achieving happiness in God.
The focus has become that of a worldly existence and not of a Godly
existence.
The very request of Our Lady of Fatima has become an intense burden, for
the world will not stop and meditate on the mysteries of God in the rosary.
Silence is very scarce in the lives of most. Meditation many times is
seen only as a means of bettering the self and leading to peace, but not as a
source of connection to the Higher Power, the Almighty God.
As I write to you, I ask you to include two things: an excerpt from December 17, 1995 from the experience of December 15, 1995 and December 18, 1995, regarding this same experience.
I further ask you to include the Prayer
for Union with Jesus and the consecration
prayers as given in the Shepherds of Christ
Prayer Manual.
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994
Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!
"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."
Jesus speaks: I quote from My message given to Father Carter July 31, 1994:
"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."
I ask the Spirituality Manual
be used by all members.
I ask you to focus on this intimate union with your divine God.
On this January 15, 1999, Fr. Carter's birthday, I give this writing to be placed next to the vision of Lucia, June 25, 1929.
Through My Movement, Shepherds of Christ, I will take souls deeply into
My Heart through consecration and the priestly newsletter and all the messages We have given
to take a soul deeply into Our Hearts.
The Age of the Two Hearts has come to you this day.
In the Mass many more priests will most intimately unite in the deepest
union with My Heart through the work you do here.
Today I write to you. Do you wish the balcony or the dirt?
Cain offered one sacrifice, Abel another.
You must detach yourselves from this earthly focus and focus on pleasing
your God and living under His dominion.
In the Reign of the Sacred Heart, all authority will be under My feet.
Happy 70th Birthday, Father Carter.
My world, 70 years from the vision of Fatima, I ask you to lead men to
the altar of sacrifice with consecrated hearts.
Hebrews 10:8-17
He says first You did not want what the Law lays down as the things to be offered, that is: the sacrifices, the cereal offerings, the burnt offerings and the sacrifices for sin, and you took no pleasure in them; and then he says: Here I am! I am coming to do your will. He is abolishing the first sort to establish the second. And this will was for us to be made holy by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ made once and for all.
The efficacy of Christ's sacrifice
Every priest stands at his duties every day, offering over and over again the same sacrifices which are quite incapable of taking away sins. He, on the other hand, has offered one single sacrifice for sins, and then taken his seat for ever, at the right hand of God, where he is now waiting till his enemies are made his footstool. By virtue of that one single offering, he has achieved the eternal perfection of all who are sanctified. The Holy Spirit attests this to us, for after saying:
No, this is the covenant
I will make with them,
when those days have come.the Lord says:
In their minds I will plant my Laws
writing them on their hearts,
and I shall never more
call their sins to mind,
or their offences.
Excerpt from the December 17, 1995 message
THE EARTH STOPPED AND TOUCHED HEAVEN
I touched eternity, and in that embrace, I knew all the waiting was worth the glory. You enveloped my being, and I was truly merged in the Divine Presence. I was merged in Your being. I existed IN You, with You, in the highest union with You, although I knew I was still distinct from You.
I was fused and absorbed in You, feeling complete and satisfied. To describe this union is far beyond any work of my pen and paper. I pray for the reader of this page to receive the grace to share this experience with Him, I will now live for this union-to be forever merged In Him, to be One in Him, to reach higher perfection as I exist in Him, for He takes the lowly and gives to them a sharing in Himself. He merges with us and we exist in Him. The word "in" - I could write pages about. I long for the deepest union with Him, where I am swept up in the heavenly embrace of the Divine God, and I am IN Him.
This is heaven on earth: to be merged as one with Divinity, although remaining distinct from God, to take our feeble hearts, our lowly status and to unite ourselves with the Divine, Almighty, powerful God and in this union to be meshed with Him, that His power dominates and our humanity reaches its heights of fulfillment in this union, in this oneness with Him.
The word I have looked for is "oneness." I understand some of the meaning of the words "One in Him." Oneness is the word to describe this union of our humanity with His Divinity. The depth to which we could meditate on oneness with God is incomprehensible. In that moment, the earth stood still, and He, my Divine Lover, the Bridegroom of my soul, took me to Himself, and I knew the embrace of the Divine God.
Nothing on the face of this earth can describe our union with Divinity. Oh, good God, that creatures are so ungrateful regarding Your divine love. I am so sorry. Let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart. Please unite with me now that I may more deeply love Thee.
Oh, Divine Lover of my soul, let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart for the neglect and indifference against You.
Song from Jesus: I come to you with greatest love. I am your loving Savior. I am your God. I died for you. I come to you this day.
He allowed me to experience such pain in my heart - wanting Him so badly, so many times-and then on Dec. 15, 1995 - He gave Himself to me in the deepest union.
Nothing satisfies the soul but Him. He wants the nuns and priests to love Him. He chose them to spread His love.
Souls are hungry. They will only be fed with His burning love. Priests need to talk about Jesus' love for us from the pulpit. Priests need hearts burning for love of Jesus. This will feed the hungry souls - lip service love doesn't do it.
He is alive today. He is a Person. He wants us to love Him.
IN THE DEEPEST RECESSES OF HIS HEART
The place Jesus took me was into the deepest recesses of His Heart. I was enveloped in His burning love. It was a red room with heat and an intense glow. I was swept away in this embrace, and I only existed in Him. The power of the Almighty God enveloped me, and I only existed in Him. There was no fear, for I was existent in this Almighty Being. My heart was wrapped in the eternal embrace of this Supreme Being. The security, the power I know was His deep presence in which I existed.
I knew the room was red and warm. I knew His immenseness, but I felt my own completeness in Him. I did not feel little, as a speck, but elevated and empowered for I existed then in Him in a most special way.
I was overtaken by the love of God. The fire of the Holy Spirit filled me. I was absorbed by the love of the Father, and I existed IN Him and in the deepest recesses of the Heart of Jesus. Our heaven on earth is these inner chambers of His magnificent Heart - the Heart of the Almighty God, with all the power, with omnipotence, with the fire of the love of God. He took me to the deepest chamber of this fiery Heart, and in that moment, I touched eternity, for I knew what it was to be enveloped in the deep furnace of His love. I now want to exist in this chamber of His Heart, swept away in His burning love, absorbed in my every cell with His love.
We do not understand the fire of His love. We do not understand what it is to be absorbed by love itself. He took me to the inner, deepest chamber of His Heart, and I felt the heat and knew the presence of love itself, and there was no fear, only a feeling of completeness, omnipotence, all-embracing, penetrating love - a power indescribable in words, a saturation of my being in the presence of God, and I was as I was created to be - living in Him!
This is how I will forever live my life, saturated with His divine life and love deep within this inner chamber of His burning Heart, living in Him as He possesses my being, and I operate with His power in me.
Little creatures though we are, we are His, His power, His life, flowing through us. In Him, we are as the Father intended: one in Him, each one of us, dwelling in this fiery furnace of His love. With our fears quieted and our hearts empowered by His life, we live forever in Him - in the Heart of Jesus.
Let no man separate what God has joined together. I am wed in the deepest love with my beloved Spouse, wed to the Heart of Jesus. As I am, I am one in Him. I live and I breathe in Him. He, Who is love, He Who is our all, He Who is mighty and without limits, He Who is, He Who is God and as I live, He lives in me in this world.
I am wed to Him, and I shall not fear for He is God - one, complete, loving, God. Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee. As I live, I live in Your most adorable Heart, the furnace of God's love!
Jesus speaks: Obedience is of top priority.
Children must be taught obedience in the home. To give in to your
children will cause them to go further and further from their understanding about the
Commandments and truth.
A child is not at the TOP. I am the authority. All authority is under My
feet. What is wrong with children making decisions and not asking the parent? He shows he
has the top authority in his life. Then, if a parent feels the decision of the child is
not right, the child argues because he has presented the picture to the world that he is
in charge. He is under the parental authority given by God. Parents must answer to God for
how they brought up their children.
It is a sad state of affairs when a child of 24 or younger or older
damaged his life with sins. Parents must speak with the authority God gave them. Because a
young child, a teenager, puts pressure on them to give in is no excuse to do so. What you
sow, so shall you reap. Children must learn to live according to the Father's will.
Children are under the parents' authority at least until they are 18 years of age.
Parents must look at the lesson I taught them on the cross. One look at
the crucifix shows - I obeyed My Father's will to My death on the cross.
Children are children. They must be taught by you, My parents. You must answer to God.
Scotty was a sorry soul.
Q: How do I feel when I am upset and you will not listen or even try to understand in love?
