Dear Friends,
I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love.

It helps me understand what is happening in the writings during the liturgical year.
It is so very good, it makes me so eager to live the liturgy in my life,
live in the liturgical year.Well we have sent over 13,000 of Fr. Joe's new cycle books since the beginning of November to priests and hierarchy
all over the world.It can enrich so many lives with the weekly sermon rooted in the Word, the Eucharist,
the liturgy,
the Mass,Baptism, love and unity.
When a priest uses the book weekly he focuses on the Bread of Life to feed the people.
Say a priest says 4 or 5 Masses weekly
Think of how many souls could be reached with the people attending Mass.Fr. Joe speaks of love and being a member of the body of Christ, living in relationships
all in the context of the scripture.We see salvation history and its ups and downs -
we see our calling from God
and we see our part in salvation history.God calls - we respond.
The body of Christ can help the world to raise up to greater perfection.

R. There are many roads we can take
and we must pray and spend time
with God before we make decisions.
The decisions that we make can determine
so many things.
Dear God help me today in everything
I do, protect me from harm, I surrender
my life to You, my beloved God. Dear
Jesus You are the Bridegroom of my
soul.
God can shower us with blessings.
John 2: 1-11
On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’ This was the first of Jesus’ signs: it was at Cana in Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
R. Fr. Joe said yesterday
when God gives us blessings like
we see in the Marriage at Cana,
He did it in abundance and we
know it. There were 6 water jars
and He changed the water into wine –
It was the best wine too, we know
from the scriptures.
In this first miracle we see
Jesus how He abundantly blessed
them at the intercession of His
Mother, Mary, who He loved so much.
Dear God through the intercession
of the Blessed Mother, Mary, I pray
for your abundant blessings today,
tomorrow and all the days of my
life.
With pen in hand I ask You – in
ink to shower down on me Your
blessings this day, to protect me
today and tomorrow and all
tomorrows from harm. Please bless
my family this way and all in the
Shepherds of Christ Movement, all
servants and handmaids, apostles, and
members. Please bless all our
priests, the Church and the world.
I pray this prayer through the
intercession of the Blessed Mother,
please protect the innocent all over
the world and enlighten the hearts
of men full of darkness to see
Your love. Dear God bless our
country and this election so the
United States will be the land of
Our Lady and will be consecrated
to the Sacred Heart and the
Immaculate Heart.
I pray this pray today for our
children and grandchildren to
receive Your abundant blessings
I pray for love to dominate the
hearts of all men. I ask that the
Blood of Jesus be spread on all
these people mentioned, that the
devil is cast into hell, that the
Holy Spirit will outpour His grace on
the whole world. Dear God, I want
to consecrate myself, my family,
the Shepherds of Christ Movement,
the Church and the world to the
Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart
in as far as I am able. I
consecrate the United States to the
Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart
in as far as I am able.
I ask for this consecration of the
whole Catholic Church to the
Sacred Heart and Immaculate
Heart in as far as I am
able and spread the Blood of Jesus
over us all, I ask Mary to spread
her mantle over the whole world
as our Lady of Clearwater.
Dear Lady of Clearwater, I
believe you appeared for all to
see for 7 1/2 years in Clearwater,
Florida. At the Marriage of Cana,
Jesus worked His first public
miracle of changing water into
wine.
R. I pray, dear Lady of Clearwater, that
you intercede to God to help this world
to be changed from darkness
to light – to change hearts
by your powerful Motherly
intercession to pure hearts.
Oh dear Lady of Clearwater
thank our heavenly Father for your
powerful intercession and ask
your Spouse the Holy Spirit to come upon
this earth in a powerful way.
R. Please intercede for us, the poor
banished children of Eve.
Dear Mary as you have appeared
to me, I have seen you praying
with us in Clearwater – help today
please.
I pray all these prayers through
the intercession of Our Lady of
Clearwater, united to the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass –
praying to the Father, in the Holy Spirit,
to cast the devil into hell – far
from us – I pray with all
the angels and saints and the souls
in purgatory.

R. See high, see low –
See as you desire –
Our eyes are a wonderful gift given
to us from God
–
We can open our eyes or close our
eyes –
We can look straight ahead –
look high or
look low –
We can see with our eyes –
We can scan the scene from
right to left –
We can focus on trying to see the
big picture with our eyes –
We can drive a car and see with
other cars moving how to
go in union with them.
We can watch a play at the theater
but if it is boring we can close our
eyes and go to sleep.
We can watch the Mass and see
the priest –
What we see can make us cry –
What we see can help lead us to action –
What we see can help take us from danger
What we see can lead us to a new endeavor –
We can see a new born baby –
We can see a person laid out in a coffin –
We can read and learn with our eyes –
Were not our eyes a gift given to us
by God –
Last night Mary appeared to me in the
Virgin Mary building on the 5th –
She appeared in the deepest –
brightest light I cannot describe or
compare to any light I know –
it was beyond and
It's depth and intensity of light –
I cannot describe
She was beautiful and seeing her
face before me, in the mystical
was –
alive and different – it did not
remain the same –
She had given me messages –
prior to this intense apparition
of celestial beauty – I cannot
begin to describe
The messages will be transcribed and
published –
But then she appeared and she did
not speak at all –
It was the vision –
The vision of intensity – I was so
wrapped in it and could not
say to lead the Hail Marys –
My physical abilities were
numbed as I was enveloped
in her vision before me –
the light beyond description –
the depth so deep and so very
real –
the lady as she was encased in
this celestial aura was
deep in that heavenly vision
a Mother alive in celestial
light –
in the front of the depth while
the light was never exhausted –
behind and around her
A light it seemed deeper than the
ocean and farther than any
sea –
solid and bright with a light
unknown to me
And her beauty in celestial surroundings,
her beauty mystical – beyond anything
I have ever seen –
No breath or depth – no high or low,
no light can be a measure for
the opening to this window of
celestial beauty –
Forever – Forever – God tells us of
heaven –
A foreverness was this vision like
the scripture
1 Corinthians 2:9
"What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him;"
R. Did you ever see the sun dance on
the ocean, or a sun dressed
body of water –
There is movement – like nothing
else you know –
When she appeared this vision is
not static or like what we
see with regard its movement –
I see no movement
It is –
Ever changing, beauteous and without
a beginning or an end to what
I am seeing –
It is, I see no change, but it
is alive in beauty and
different entirely that I am
drawn into it and almost unable
to talk, to use my physical
things –
I am in the intensity of this apparition –
in it and it is and it has
depth and light and beauty and is
alive –
I can't describe it at all –
If I can see the sun dancing on a
body of endless water, can I
tell you of it so you can enjoy
the experience and try to describe
the movement, the light, the
depth – the sky that meets
way out in beautiful blue
against the silver waters dancing
in radiant light –
You may identify with what you
have seen of this and enjoy it
with me, but
The vision of Mary –
the living appearance of her –
the light –
the Virgin Mother as she showed
herself in a celestial way
to me –
I cannot even find anything to
identify this with and
Yet it was so real –
so beautiful –
so that it captivated me deeply
to be enthralled in it –
I cannot describe
But I know more of eternity –
that with depth and breath
we do not know or
comprehend –
We are blind to the celestial reward,
relationship with God in intense
purity and unity – eternally –
We are on earth and we measure with
our spoons and ounces, we see
with eyes veiled
And God is beyond and other and
yet He has given us Jesus Christ in
the Eucharist to come to us
and feed the sharing in His life
we have from baptism –
If He spoke now – He would say
reach – reach and reach –
go out and spread the Good News –
Man is so stilted in his ways
and he can be so bolted to the
earth, but we were created
in the image and likeness of God –
created to reach to the heights –
to dig deeply into the Mystery –
to know that the unseen is real –
to not be stifled because we
stand in a cement sidewalk
wrapped in the beauty of our
own footprint –
The footprints we follow are
those of the Son of God for we
were created in His
image and likeness
The seen and the unseen –
Do we see at all beyond
our eyes –
the Mystery of God –
the Mystery of Jesus –
the Mystery of the Incarnation
the Mystery of the sacramental
life of the Church –
the Mystery of Jesus truly present
Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity
in the Eucharist
Reach – Reach – Reach –
See the unseen –
Dig deep into the Heart of Jesus
Beg for the Holy Spirit to fill us with
His gifts to see, to
understand, to know,
to love, to be holy,
to fear God and to be
full of wisdom and council –
This is relationship of us –
human creatures with
the Divine God –
This is about the gift of baptism –
The sharing in Divine Life –
This is about being nurtured
with the Bread of Life
the Eucharist and His Word –
This is about the unseen and
the seen –
This is about preparing ourselves
for the goal of eternal
happiness –
Seeing God face to face –
Being wrapped in the beatific vision –
My people this is about Mary
appearing in the Virgin Mary building
and showing me last night –
her beauty that I cannot
even describe and
when she appeared that
way – she said nothing –
she just took me into
this beauty and I behold her
and what she showed
me and
in the end
R. How can I
draw
this?
We are earthly and
He is heavenly and
yet He wants to reveal
secrets of Himself to
us and have an intimate
relationship with us –
Mary wants a personal relationship
with us –
She is our spiritual Mother –
Open your eyes and your hearts to
God and to our Mother at Our Side
end of excerpt
R. 22 Years ago today I received the
Prayer for Union.
Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
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
R. 22 Years ago I received this
message January 17, 1994.
January 17, 1994 3:40 a.m.
Jesus: You know I am He Who lifts you up. In one second I can turn your feelings around and lift you up. Constantly pray to Me. You need Me through these times. Remember, I truly died for you on the cross. Remember, little one, I have chosen you to write to Me. Do you think I will ever abandon you? I am a God who truly loves His people. I love you with such ardent love. You must never doubt.
Look into My face and see My gentleness. I am the kindest of all hearts. I am He who knows how to love with such love. Become totally lost in My arms.
Do you think Satan will not taunt you? Put him behind you. You are being guarded by God and His heavenly court. Walk in My ways and the angels walk with you on your path. You are escorted on your way and you are never alone. You are guarded as a precious treasure that is being transported to another place.
You need to put all your cares in My hands. You are developing true trust when you let go and let Me take over. Keep trusting and silence the ugly prompting of Satan who wants you to worry about useless things. Quit worrying and pray and play with your children. I am telling you there is so much peace and grace gained by private prayer with them. I will tend to all the details of your life. Do not worry for one moment. Put your life in My hands. I am here, little one. Read this message and all of them over and over again.
You need to go to the Blue Book for your answers. Your answers are found there. I never leave your side. God is guarding you. Just continue to have a union with Me all through the day. All the prayer time alone with Me in one day is not enough. I want you in constant prayer.
Turn to Me and My Blue Book. This will help many priests to come back and sit before Me in private union with Me. When priests come back to the tabernacle, the flock will begin to be led back to His altar. Priests need to read these letters. They are the preachers. If they do not value their own relationship with Jesus, if they are being led away from Me with busyness, they will not preach the intimate love of Jesus. They are so busy, but it is like throwing out the baby with the bath water. I am the center and their relationship with Me is utmost.
The priests need these messages. They need to have an intimate, close union with Me. They should be preaching "time in front of the tabernacle." They should be preaching My intense love for My people and how I have so much to give. Some sermons are so complicated—yet nothing about union with Me in the Eucharist and in front of the tabernacle.
I want My priests to come back and pray before My tabernacle. I want them to read these messages and make Jesus the Center of their lives. When they are led back to Jesus, they will lead the flock home. Priests need adoration every day for at least an hour. I don't care how busy they are. None of it matters if they are not spending time in private prayer alone with Me. They need to come and get their supplies. They need to quit thinking they are doing it and turn back to turning their lives totally over to Me, to totally letting their burdens and busy lives off at the foot of My cross and letting Me lead the way.
There is not one priest who has so much to do that he cannot do private adoration daily. When the priest comes back to the power in the Eucharist and the tabernacle, the congregation will turn to God for their troubled hearts. Satan has led priests away from Jesus. They are so busy they cannot do all their work, but this must all take second place to praying silently before God and reading His words. These letters will help many priests to come back and be intimate with Jesus.
All the rituals, all the upkeep of the churches, all the little details, and the King of Glory sits alone! You have thrown out the baby with the bath water. You are missing the boat.
I want the priests to read this message. Where is the reverence after Communion and who has even heard it mentioned in the church? Private union with Jesus! What an honor! I have all you need. Come to Me and I will give you rest. I am all powerful. I have all the power. I am hyper—vigilant over your lives. I guard you. Quit trying to do it yourselves. Become selfless and let Me possess your souls.
Have the priests spread these messages. Read them in church. I want adoration of the Eucharist back. I want people to know I am God and I am coming to them in Holy Communion. I want the Blessed Sacrament exposed. I want My churches open. Union with Jesus, the love of Jesus, trust, faith, love for one another, love of God—I want all of these preached from the pulpit!
I am the Alpha and the Omega. I want My people to be led back to the center, which is Jesus. Pray for your priests. They are under attack. If Satan can wreck the family, the priests, the children, he has it made.
You are under attack, My beloved priests, and you, in your busyness, are being led away from your union with Jesus. Bring yourselves back to Me and let Me give you My love. I am indeed the bridegroom of your souls. I wait for My beloved ones at the altar. I long for private union with all My beloved ones.
Come to Me, all who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Come and be lifted up to heights you never dreamed possible. I am God. Put your lives in My hands. Let Me run your life. Quit running amok. You have lost your way and are running down the wrong road. Bring your lives back to Jesus in the tabernacle.
The world is getting farther from God every minute. Read the messages at prayer meetings. Spread them by word of mouth. The time you waste is valuable. These words are not meant to be saved. Spread them here by any means possible. I want them out, I tell you! If someone wants to read some messages, give them to them and let them read them at prayer meetings. There is no secret here. They are from Me and I want them out. I want you to speak. A lot of your discontent is in sitting around with all these messages and not spreading them. Tell your friends to speak. Speak My words here. You don't have to mention the source. Spread the messages. You are not what is important. The messages are. You will be exposed. Don't worry who knows, but don't spread your own story. Spread the messages. Like ripples on a pond, the love of God will be spread throughout the land. I have so much to give to My hurting ones. I am your God. I died for you out of deepest love. I have come in these messages to lead you back home.
Quit worrying of details. I am He Who runs the show. Pray for guidance every day. Spend one hour in front of the tabernacle. You cannot do in a million years what I can do in one moment. Quit relying on yourselves. You are only pushing buttons. When you are fixed in Me, the right door opens. When you go it alone, you have a hard road to walk. One hour in private adoration. Be silent or read the Blue Book. Your life will become uplifted by My teaching and you will sail a blue sky.
Spend time in silence and some in reading My words in front of Me. I am talking to you in these letters. What power, to read them in front of the tabernacle! You can't go it alone. You need My help. You need your supplies. But you must come and get them! You are following your tail around if you do it alone. I am He Who can do all this. When you realize My power in adoration, your lives will change. As long as you are too busy you will have a hard time. The soul craves this union with Me.
Lead the priests back to adoration and the people will follow. Our leaders have become too busy for adoration. This is the key, the key to unlock the doors to the world's problems. It is found in front of the tabernacle, at daily Mass and Communion. Do the priests ever preach any of this? You have forgotten your center, Jesus, in the Eucharist! All the power is found in Jesus. You have all that you need and you walk about and decorate My churches and clean every speck of dust and repair My pews and carpet My house and fix My organs but you walk about and miss the King of Glory who sits there all alone! Spread the messages on the tabernacle. I want them out!
