Sorrowful Mysteries

              The Agony in the Garden

                (1) Jesus knew the souls that would
                    rebel against Him in hatred
                    despite His suffering.

                (2) Jesus did the Father's will to His
                    death on the cross.

                (3) "Not My will but Thine be
                    done."

                (4) Hell is the absence of God.
                    Hell is hate.
                    The souls who have a free will
                    here can choose a hell-like
                    reality --
                    They can give into satan who
                    wants no reflection of God
                    anywhere in the world.
                    They can be consumed with hatred
                    for God -- Mock the Blessed Sacrament,
                    Block all prayer giving honor
                    and glory to God
                    because they let satan use them
                    to hate.

                (5) The name of God is not allowed
                    in public schools --
                    Satan wants no honor or
                    recognition of God.
                    Satan wants no reflection
                        of God --
                        Satan wants the world
                        consumed with hatred
                        for God and others --
                        He wants a hell-like
                        existence on earth --
                        He wants to block all prayer --
                        any reflection of God.

                (6) And Jesus sweat Blood in
                    the Garden for the souls
                    He was willing to die for
                    and they allowed satan to
                    use them for hate and trying
                    to take God out of people's lives.

                (7) Jesus: I want the Valentine Mailing
                    with the Prayer for the Country
                    asking people to pray and
                    circulate it --
                    I want you to circulate the
                    Pre-Blue Book and
                    print more Blue Book 1, 2 and 3 --
                    They are almost gone --
                    The world needs the Love
                    of God --
                    The world needs Blue Book 2 --
                    The world needs the Adoration
                        before the Eucharist.

The Pain - Naples, Florida

R. He spread His arms, He gave His all, Jesus, the Son of God, the greatest sacrifice, He gave Himself entirely for the good of all men. He opened His arms, He died on the cross.

His arms were covered with blood, His arms so weak and filled with pain, wounded. His arms, the pain shot up His arms and the final blow to each arm a nail through each precious hand.

All the agony He experienced, all the pain, and the crown, to each arm, a nail hammered into the hand.

All the nerves cut and severed by the nail, the pain shooting up His precious arms, the final blow given to His most precious members. The legs that carried Him, that carried the heavy cross, the legs that were forced and cajoled, that continues to Calvary - the legs weakened, skinned, bleeding, beaten, burned, the legs that knew patience and perseverance, the legs connected to a sore foot that was rubbed and gashed and bleeding, the members of Jesus, filled with such pain and exhaustion, now is crowned with the final glory. The nail that was driven into the foot, the pain shot up this already weakened leg, covered with blood and wounds and pain, the final blow, the nerves severed by the hammered nail.

A blow to each hand, a blow to each foot, a blow to the head, a stamping that pressed down and continued in excruciating pain.

Jesus: They numbered all My bones. They gave Me vinegar and gall to drink. They gave Me a cloth to wipe My blood-covered flesh. What did they give to Me? Love is giving, My dear ones. How many of you are wounded when you are not given things by your brothers you love?

My members were in such pain, the pain shot up My arms. My legs were so weak I could scarce move them. I was filled with pain within them.

To all who watched, they saw a man, weakened and covered with blood and wounds. They did not see the pain inside that shot up My legs and arms, the nerves inside My body that sent signals of deep pain to My central nervous system. They did not see the nerves inside sending pain signals everywhere.

The final blow being to each hand and foot, the severing of My nerves by the blunt and rusted nails.

An arm extended. A final blow. I beheld a nail pounded into My hand and the pain shot up My arms, unbearable to a human mind.

Do you know of the pain within My body? Signals sending messages of deep pain everywhere. I knew all of these sufferings in the garden. So great were the sufferings to My mind, I sweat blood.

My flesh was covered with wounds. My arms were stretched from their sockets. My body was beaten and bleeding, every inch of My body covered with deep wounds. But, My loved ones, you miss the depth of My love. My wounds were so deep, but the final wound, the pounding of the nails in My hands and feet, a severing of the nerves, an ending of the deepest pain, to experience even deeper pain, beyond your human comprehension, it was done to the Almighty God, a Divine Person, I suffered the final blow to each member.

The pounding in the hands and feet, the crown to each member, and they numbered all My bones. My nerves a network of pain running throughout My entire body.

The pain within the body, the pain recorded in My loving head, the pain sent by a network of nerves in My body, now records the final blows, the nails in the hands and feet, the pain being recorded from every thorn that pierced My skull, every gash to My body, the pain, the pain, the pain - a network of signals and pain, running through My body and the final hour, the pains recorded on the cross, arms outstretched - a surrendering to all pain. I surrendered to a body laden with pain.

You focus on your little problems, your little aches and pains. You discuss them and show the world your pin pricks and sufferings. Do you want to know holiness and love? They gave Me vinegar mixed with gall. This was their offering. They gave Me a cross. They crowned My head with a crown of thorns.

This, My dear ones, is suffering, My beloved souls, I gave My life for and this is their return.

A severing of My nerves, the final blows to all the aches and pains recorded in My nervous system. This was one of the final blows - the rusted nails pounded into My hands.

You will feel little aches and pains in your hands and feet to remind you of this message. Your understanding of the immense pain within will deepen. What was visible to the eye on My battered body was nothing compared to the pains within. I gave My all. I gave My insides, My mind, My Heart, wounded for the love of men. All functions in the body were stopped. The final curtain, blood and water pouring out from My Heart, show that all functions of the body had ended.

R. All signals that carried messages of immense pain had ended, the final act of surrender for God to die to this human body and surrender His flesh.

Jesus: And end, a beginning, the water and blood flowed from My Heart, the beginning of My life in the Church, life flowing into your spirit.

R. Come give me life, abundant life. I thirst to be with Thee.

Jesus: My blood was spent. My human flesh and blood offered as the sacrifice, the sacrifice of Calvary is now made present at every Mass. An end, a beginning, and the grace and life flow through the sacraments in the Church. My life flows to you in the Mass. Mary, the Mediatrix of all grace, stands by the side of the altar and the grace flows from the Father, through My body offered up as a sacrifice in the Holy Spirit, given through the Mothership of Mary to you in the Church. You stand under the cross with My Mother and you receive the gift given, My Body, My Blood.

R. Man is reconciled with the Father through the Divine Person, Jesus Christ, and you receive His life poured out to you as Calvary is made present in the unbloody sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Do you feel the graces poured out to you at this sacrifice of the Son of God at every Mass? Do you feel the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory? Do you feel united as one at the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present upon the altar through the priest? The priest who now puts on Christ and through Him the dispenser of this life given to man.

Jesus: Oh, My beloved ones, love so dearly your priest. Give him such reverence. He is the chosen instrument of God and you treat him with such ordinariness. You are so blind and so dumb in your ways. And they numbered all My bones. Each nerve carrying a message of My love of mankind, each member in My Church carrying a special message, all united as one working in harmony according to the Father’s will, each carrying a message of love to one another.

The body is many members, you are the messengers of My love. Christ is the head. The message does not flow as it should when some are cut off from the Head. They nailed My hands and feet and My nerves were severed by the nails, such pain, undescribable in words, the severing of My nerves from the body, the severing of many members from the body of Christ. My Body given for all on the cross, the network of nerves within carrying the messages of My love to all mankind. My body covered on the outside with blood and wounded, the pain recorded within.

Your Church, covered with blood on the outside, the slaughter of innocent babies, the homosexuality, the sins of the flesh, the members that have severed themselves from the source by their sins, but the pain is carried in the nerves inside. The blood of the Lamb shed for each and every soul, the real pain carried within. The life is weakened in your Church because the love of God is so weak in many members. The messages of love are not being transmitted as they should be. Your body shows the wounds, but your pain within is the root of the problems. The pain is from the messages of love that are not being transmitted.

Unless you seek to fill your priests and sisters with the fire of God’s love, fill their hearts with burning love for God, your Church will continue to show the marks of the blood shed without. I give to you these letters as a mighty medicine for this world, directed to make men’s hearts burn with love of God and love of one another. The rosaries are meditations and messages given from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. These messages will make men’s hearts burn with fire for love of God. You have ignored the importance of these letters.

I send to you the mighty medicine to heal a hurting world. My priests and religious need these messages. The love of God will be transmitted to the Church from these messages when you circulate these letters.

The devil has blocked the minds of men involved in these messages because of their importance to the world and the Church.

I am speaking to you Fr. Carter to help to get these messages published and circulated as soon as possible. I give to you a mighty medicine for a sick world.

Read St. Thomas Aquinas about the medicine for the sick Church. You know what these messages have done for you. I am Jesus. I give to you the mighty medicine for a sick world, for a sick Church, rosaries and letters from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Your Church shows the wounds of bloodshed, abortion, homosexuality, sins of the flesh, murder of little children’s minds with sex education in Catholic schools and you hold back the gifts of God’s love I am giving to the Church and this world.

My arms were weak and wounded but the final blow as the nail put in My hand. It severed the nerves.

The final blow is the bloodshed in the Church, the slaughtering of children’s minds in Catholic schools. My children are pure and innocent. They are not being taught messages of God’s love, they are being taught messages of sick sex and coldness.

Men’s hearts have turned cold. They have been severed from the life of the body. The body is decaying from within. Only with the love of God enkindled in men’s hearts will this bloodshed stop.

I beg you to publish and circulate these messages in the Church. I am Jesus. I am giving you the mighty medicine for the world. Your body wears the marks of the bloodshed, only with messages of My on-fire love will it stop.

Mary leads you to Jesus. Never is she the end. The Father has a plan. Mary’s messages have led men and will lead men to Jesus. Satan has tried to stop all efforts to publish and circulate these messages. I am the Almighty God. The funds will come when you circulate and publish these messages and rosaries under the Shepherds of Christ Publishing. I am working with Fr. Carter and Rita as messenger to renew the Church and the world. Each messenger has a very vital role in the Father’s plan. The significance of these messages are being overlooked. You are not studying the messages as a whole and their content. There are five unpublished Blue Books and more than four Rosary Books which I and My Mother have given to this world in the last 14 months. I have also given 15 songs of My love. I am begging you to see to the recording and publishing of this music. I beg you to listen. This is the mighty medicine for the Church and the world to draw men to the burning love of Jesus. Please harken to My call. I will send you the money. You must study and read these messages. This is a fulfillment of Fatima - these messages were given to bring priests to the burning love of Jesus. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.

                (9) Hail Mary
                (10) Hail Mary

                The Scourging at the Pillar

                (1) Jesus: Watch the Passion Movie
                    turn down sound --
                    Pray the rosary as you
                    watch --

                (2) Jesus: I was beaten for your sins --
                    I bled from head to toe.

                (3) Jesus: My head was beaten for all
                    those who seek power
                    over honoring God --

                (4) Jesus: Pride, Envy, Jealousy, hatred,
                    anger --
                    Satan wants souls to live
                        in darkness and sin.

                (5) Jesus: Some souls raise themselves
                    in pride and enjoy watching
                    others squirm under
                    them.
                    Vile, Violence done to
                    people created by God.

                (6) Jesus: And the more they live in the
                    deadly sins -- the deeper
                    the darkness, the hatred,
                    the anger for what they
                    have done.

                (7) Jesus: I am the Light of the World --
                    I love My precious souls --
                    I was beaten raw for their
                    sins --
                    Some won't budge -- they
                    allow satan to enslave them --

                (8) Jesus: Your hearts are to become
                    more and more pure --
                    not contaminated!!

                (9) Jesus: How do you care for your body?
                            How do you care for your soul?

                (10) Jesus: The wise virgins prepared their
                    lamps --
                    The foolish virgins wouldn't
                        budge --
                        They held out because they
                        wanted to hate and not
                        love --
                        Love is giving --

                The Crowning with Thorns

                (1) Jesus: I was crowned and bled and
                    My head was punctured for
                    the violence of some --
                    in pride who traumatize
                    their brothers with
                    abuse --

                (2) Jesus: Pride -- a person putting
                    themselves before God.
                    The first commandment is

                      1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.
 

                (3) Jesus: Some adorn their prideful
                    crown with the deadly
                    sins (these are not jewels).

                (4) Jesus: The more you give into hatred
                    and pride -- the more you
                    live a hellish existence --
                    Trying to remove God from your life.

                (5) Jesus: Satan uses people who give into
                    Him in pride and lies
                    and hate --

                (6) Jesus: A person to be forgiven must
                    come to Me and ask for
                    forgiveness with real sorrow
                    for sins and a
                    firm purpose of amendment.

                    If you are accountable and responsible
                        for your sins, sorrow for
                        your sins and a firm
                        purpose of amendment --
                        I will outpour My life
                        in your soul.
                        You can be cleansed and
                            made clean!!

                (7) Jesus: When you offend God you
                    must seek to repair
                    the breach --

                    So many refuse and hold on
                        especially those who have
                        been abused and abuse
                        themselves with lies
                        and hate and they go darker
                        and darker into sin.

                (8) Jesus: You cannot change your
                    beginning, but you
                    can change the ending.

                (9) Matthew 22: 36-40 

                (10) Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - July 13, 1997 Rosary

                The Carrying of the Cross

                (1) Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - July 13, 1997 Rosary

                (2) Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - July 13, 1997 Rosary

1. R. How do we treat our brother? Do we love our brother? When our brother opens up their mouth, when they open up and give themselves, do we cut them off ? Do we respect those over us – this is love – seeing in the order God wants.

                (3)Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - July 13, 1997 Rosary

Jesus: Do you feel sometimes that you are crowned with thorns by those around you that are haughty and nasty and they try to hurt you? I sat and the men surrounded Me and they pounded into My head a crown of thorns. And I felt the first trickle of blood as it ran down My face into My eyes, and then it began to flow and flow and flow. And I felt that warm blood as it came down and as it filled My eyes. My hands were tied and I could not touch My face. These books are a gift I give the world. They teach you about relationship, unity, love, truth in your heart. Not lying about your dysfunction, - dying and rising in Me.

                (4) Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - July 13, 1997 Rosary

R. But the anguish was greater to His Heart than it was to His body, for the hatred men gave to other men and lied about their angry hearts, hugged their anger and nursed it like a trophy, when they needed to be virtuous and not give into the deadly sins. Even though they pounded the thorns into His head and the wounds on His body were laid open and stuck to the dirty purple robe that they had placed around Him and the blood was running under the robe - some dried and some running, His greatest wounds were the wounds to His Heart.

Jesus: This Heart and My love in relationships is the Mission of the Shepherds of Christ, to teach the world about relationships like the Heart of Jesus.

R. And so He said to me December 22nd, “Bleed little heart, bleed. For you must suffer in order for Me to teach you the secrets of My Heart.” Do you know that when we bleed in our hearts, which all of us here have done because He has become so intimately one with us, that He is teaching us the secrets of His Heart? For the secrets of His Heart were to endure immense suffering. Men spit on Him. Jesus allowed men to spit on Him for our sins. They tore His flesh. They pounded thorns into His head. They nailed His hands to a cross. And so to know Him is to know suffering. It is to know ecstasy and joy and love, but it is to have a heart that bleeds many times and we say, “Ohhhh, I suffered so much today.” And He says, “I was teaching you about the inner most secrets of My Heart - the ones that I endured all through the Passion, when My thoughts were of you and how much I loved you.” Jesus’ Heart is true! To be united to Jesus we must seek the truth, not pride and anger.

                (5) Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - July 13, 1997 Rosary

                (6) Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - July 13, 1997 Rosary

8. R. Jesus is letting us know about the secrets of His Heart. These are His letters of love for the world to teach about relationship, unity, about God’s love. Adam and Eve sinned and Jesus has given us these messages so the people will be in the right place in relationships.

                (7) Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - July 13, 1997 Rosary

9. R. I didn’t really realize what was going on but I kept going through these immense sufferings and knowing the sufferings of the heart of Mary over the children that are going to be lost, over the agonies under the cross, under the cross the agonies of the children that would be lost. Mary watched her Son dying on the cross and being taken so deeply into such suffering that it felt as if swords were in my chest for hours. But I figured this out. Mary has taken me, to Jesus. Jesus has given me the deepest ecstasies and agonies into Their Hearts, and that is what speaks in the rosaries, that is what speaks in the songs - the words of Jesus coming forth in Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. And They give to you this great grace and you experience and you cry and you hear the words of Jesus in these mystical revelations that They are giving where you experience the emotions of Their Hearts. So even reading the rosaries in the book make people cry because that is the teachings of His Heart that He gives in Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The teaching is relationships like Jesus, the Mission of the Shepherds of Christ. Jesus wants us to go deeply in Their Hearts experiencing the emotions that He has taught us. Love dwelling in Jesus’ Heart and Mary’s Heart.

And I know I sat in Immaculata and read a rosary and I cried and cried and cried and cried and cried and I felt as if I could identify with Jesus in the Heart of Jesus, as Jesus went through the agony in the garden, the scourging at the pillar, the crowning with thorns, the carrying of the cross, and the crucifixion, because in these rosaries He takes us in His Heart and allows us to experience, in a special way, the way that men will know God in this new era deeply within their hearts. Jesus’ love in His Heart is the Mission of the Shepherds of Christ.

                (1) Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - July 13, 1997 Rosary
                    The Carrying of the Cross

1. R. And so Jesus speaks in the Stations to carry the world deeply into His Heart, and Mary speaks too, and the words are this.

1. February 22, 1995 - Stations of the Cross - 1. Jesus Is Condemned to Death

Jesus: My dear child, with angry hearts and hatred on their faces, they poked at Me and condemned Me to death.

R. When I got this, I was in front of the Exposed Eucharist and I was crying so hard I could hardly write. This is what He wants: when someone does the Stations to hear His words, to be in His Heart with Him, and with the grace He has promised to give with these revelations to be touched as if they are within the Heart of Jesus experiencing the emotion He experienced at the time He walked this earth. He said:

February 22, 1995 - Stations of the Cross — 1. Jesus Is Condemned to Death

Jesus: I stood so silent, My hands tied, in perfect peace, because I knew the Father’s love. I knew the Father’s Will. You too will stand your trials in perfect peace, the more you realize the immense love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have for you. Pray to the Spirit to transform you more and more into My image and, through this transformation, you will be led ever closer to the Father. Oh, how I love you!

R. He is alive and He speaks in these writings the secrets of the love of Jesus’ Most Sacred Heart.
 

                (2)  Mary's Message - from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

                (3) Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - July 13, 1997 Rosary - The Crucifixion

1. R. This is from the Stations.

February 22, 1995 - Stations of the Cross - 4. Jesus and Mary Meet

Jesus: I saw the face of My beautiful Mother. She was weak, her face reddened and full of tears. I saw her tender heart, her love, her anguish, her pain. I saw My dear Mother Mary. My Heart was comforted by the sight of her, but torn by her suffering.

Mary: As I looked into the eyes of my beloved Son, I saw His love. His head, bleeding and wounded. His body weak. His clothes covered with blood. I looked into His eyes and I saw His love for you. I call out to you today. I appear today with a face full of anguish and tears. I appear to call you back to the love of my Son. See through my eyes, as I peer into His eyes, the love He has for you this day to give of Himself for you. Oh, He loves you so much, my little children. See through my eyes the love of my Son. Oh, how He loves you! end of excerpt
 

                (4) From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

Mary: “My beloved priest-son, I wish all my children to come to my Immaculate Heart each day. I cooperate with the Holy Spirit in helping all my little ones to grow in the life of the Christian virtues. As my children dwell within my maternal Heart, the Holy Spirit leads them along the path of the virtues. Faith, hope, love, prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, humility, chastity, and the other virtues take deeper root in the hearts of my children. Above all, the queen of the virtues, love, increasingly rules the lives of my little ones.

“I am ever at the side of my children to help them grow in the life of the virtues. As I do so, I place them more deeply within the Heart of Jesus, the source of growth in all the virtues. The Holy Spirit, then, desires that my children dwell both within my Heart and Jesus’ Heart. Within Our Hearts He clothes you with growth in the life of the virtues. The more you dwell in my Heart, the more ready you are for my placing you deeply within the Heart of Jesus where the Holy Spirit clothes you more and more with the splendor of all the virtues. Thus you grow in the likeness of Christ, and Jesus unites you more closely to the Father.”

Reflection: Since Mary is our spiritual Mother, she has a special God-given role in helping us grow in the life of the Christian virtues. As she tenderly and lovingly leads us in the life of the virtues, she is our great model in how to follow Christ. She lived the Christian virtues perfectly. She is so eager to help us increasingly put on Christ through a more dynamic living of the Christian virtues, especially the virtue of love.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, we ask for the grace to grow daily in the practice of the Christian virtues — especially faith, hope, and love. And most especially, we ask that love for God and neighbor will more and more dominate our lives. We make this petition together with Mary, through Christ, and in the Holy Spirit.
 

                (5) Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - July 13, 1997 Rosary

                (6) From the Introduction from Blue Book 15

• The death-resurrection of Jesus, which is encountered in a special way through the sacraments, is most especially renewed in the Eucharistic Sacrifice. Consequently, we can see the logical connection between the sacraments and the Mass. Indeed, all of the sacraments point to the Eucharistic Sacrifice.

• At the Last Supper, on the night He was betrayed, our Saviour instituted the Eucharistic Sacrifice of His Body and Blood. He did this in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the Cross throughout the centuries until He should come again, and so to entrust to His beloved spouse, the Church, a memorial of His death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a paschal banquet in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us (Vatican II, Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, No. 17)26

• The Church, therefore, earnestly desires that Christ’s faithful, when present at this mystery of faith, should not be there as strangers or silent spectators. On the contrary, through a proper appreciation of the rites and prayers they should participate knowingly, devoutly, and actively. They should be instructed by God’s word and be refreshed at the table of the Lord’s body; they should give thanks to God; by offering the Immaculate Victim, not only through the hands of the priest, but also with him, they should learn to offer themselves too. Through Christ the Mediator, they should be drawn day by day into ever closer union with God and with each other, so that finally God may be all in all. (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, No. 48) 27

• Through the Eucharistic Sacrifice Christ the Lord desired to set before us in a very special way this remarkable union whereby we are united one with another and with our divine Head, a union that no word of praise can ever sufficiently express. For in this sacrifice the sacred ministers act not only as the representative of our Saviour, but as the representative of the whole Mystical Body and of each one of the faithful. Again, in this act of sacrifice, the faithful of Christ, united by the common bond of devotion and prayer, offer to the eternal Father through the hands of the priest, whose prayer alone has made it present on the altar, the Immaculate Lamb, the most acceptable victim of praise and propitiation for the Church’s universal need. Moreover, just as the divine Redeemer, while dying on the Cross, offered Himself to the eternal Father as Head of the whole human race, so now, ‘in this clean oblation’ He not only offers Himself as Head of the Church to His heavenly Father but in Himself His mystical members as well. He embraces them all, yes, even the weaker and more ailing members, with the deepest love of His Heart. (Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis AAS, XXXV, 232-233)28

• Pope John Paul II states: “This worship, given therefore to the Trinity of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, above all accompanies and permeates the celebration of the Eucharistic Liturgy. But it must fill our churches also outside the timetable of Masses. Indeed, since the Eucharistic Mystery was instituted out of love, and makes Christ sacramentally present, it is worthy of thanksgiving and worship. And this worship must be prominent in all our encounters with the Blessed Sacrament, both when we visit our churches and when the sacred species are taken to the sick and administered to them.

    “Adoration of Christ in this sacrament of love must also find expression in various forms of Eucharistic devotion: personal prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, Hours of Adoration, periods of exposition — short, prolonged and annual (Forty Hours) - Eucharistic benediction, Eucharistic processions, Eucharistic congresses. A particular mention should be made at this point of the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ as an act of public worship rendered to Christ present in the Eucharist, a feast instituted by my predecessor Urban IV in memory of the institution of this great Mystery.

    “All this therefore corresponds to the general principles and particular norms already long in existence, but newly formulated during or after the Second Vatican Council.

    “…The Church and the world have a great need of Eucharistic worship. Jesus waits for us in this sacrament of love. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never cease.”29

• The following words of Fr. M. Raymond, O.C.S.O., emphasize the great importance regarding personal holiness and one’s participation in the Mass: “Mass, insomuch as it is Christ’s offering, is not only always acceptable to God, but is of infinite value as well. “But, inasmuch as it is your offering and mine, and that of every other member of the Mystical Body ... we can limit the effectiveness of God’s great Act of Love; we finite beings can set bounds to the veritable flood of God-life made possible by the Infinite Son of the Infinite Father.”30

Yes, the effectiveness of each Mass, which makes the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally present, depends in part on the holiness of the entire Church offering it with Christ to the Father in the Holy Spirit, including the holiness of the individual priest offering and the holiness of his participating congregation.

• The Sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present in the Mass. When we pray the Morning Offering Prayer, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we act as intercessors, pleading to God that great graces be released all day through our prayerful actions as we act in love according to the Father’s will. Whether we are eating, taking care of a sick parent, enjoying time spent with a friend, working at our job, we can help bring down great graces for the world.

When we pray the Morning Offering Prayer we offer our lives to the Father, through Christ, in the Holy Spirit, with the prayerful assistance of Mary, our Mother. Let us pray together united in our hearts in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. There follows a Morning Offering Prayer.

“My dear Father, I offer You this day all my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit.

“I unite with our Mother, Mary, all the angels and saints, and all the souls in purgatory to pray to the Father for myself, for each member of my family, for my friends, for all the people throughout the world, for all the souls in purgatory, and for all other intentions of the Sacred Heart. “I love You, Jesus, and I give You my heart. I love you, Mary, and I give you my heart. Amen.”32

Hebrews 10: 11-17

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.
 

The Theology of Consecration

A. Boussard gives an extremely fine and concise sketch of the theology of consecration:

    “By the Incarnation, in and of itself, the Humanity of Jesus is consecrated, so that in becoming Man, Jesus is ipso facto constituted Savior, Prophet, King, Priest, and Victim of the One Sacrifice that was to save the world. He is the ‘Anointed’, par excellence, the ‘Christ’ totally belonging to God, His Humanity being that of the Word and indwelled by the Holy Spirit. When, by a free act of His human will, He accepts what He is, doing what He was sent to do, He can say that He consecrates ‘Himself’. In Christ, therefore, what might be called His ‘subjective’ consecration is a perfect response to the ‘objective’ consecration produced in His Humanity through the Incarnation.

    “And what Christ does brings with it is a ‘consecration’ for His disciples, a very special belonging to God, since He imparts to them His own life precisely by making them participate in His own consecration.

    “Through Baptism Christians also are consecrated and ‘anointed’ by the power of the Spirit. They share, in their measure, in the essential consecration of Christ, in His character of King, Priest, and Prophet (cf. 1 Peter 2:9; 7 Peter 1:3-4; Rev. 5:9, etc.). With Christ and through Christ, they are ‘ordered’ to the glory of God and the salvation of the world. They do not belong to themselves. They belong to Christ the Lord, who imparts His own life to them…

    “The vocation of those who have been baptized is to ‘live’ this consecration by a voluntary adherence— and one that is as perfect as possible — to what it has made of them. Living as ‘children of God’, they fulfill subjectively their objective consecration; like Jesus, they consecrate themselves. This is the deeper meaning of vows and baptismal promises, together with the actual way of life corresponding to them. The baptismal consecration is the fundamental one, constitutive of the Christian. All consecrations which come after it presuppose and are rooted in it…”3

The Ascension

Jesus: Come away with Me, My young ones. Come into the field and taste of the beauty of the air and the beauty of this day with the most beautiful flowers that I have created for you. Do you see the beauty in each petal of the flower, or are your eyes covered with mud that you do not see? I have lifted the veil for you today and I have showed you My way. My way is the way of trust and faith and I told you in the message on Sunday that you must have faith and endurance, for I took you to the darkest night to the pointiest tunnel, to the place where you thought that you would never return and at that point I opened up through a little hole the light of day and it came streaming in and you perceived and you felt My presence, which is greater than all the things of this earth.

    Wipe the grin off your face you silly earth, for you have ran after so many foolish things, when I stood there adorned in white before you, in the most glorious robes and you did not perceive that the Almighty God was alive and so I have called and I have told you and I have allowed you, My shepherds, to suffer, but the days ahead will be days of great victory, for I come to you clothed in white and adorned in a gold veil and you see that God lives and you will carry the white flag across this earth. You My shepherds, have won and the victory is yours.

    Did you fall in the mud and did you skin your knees, did you feel your head ache as Mine ached in the garden, did you feel the thorns poke deeply into your skull, and did you feel the ripping of your flesh as the sword went into your skin?

    I am Jesus, I am God, I will not be undone. I am Almighty and all powerful to the ends of the earth. You will know My might and you will not be afraid, but you will not know this if you do not trust, for I have told you the secrets in My messages, but you do not read as if you believe, you read half heartedly. You must believe with all your heart that I speak to you to be heard, for you truly are the shepherds that will go across this earth and carry the white flag, but you do not have this conviction within your heart, so therefore you do not do all that I have asked you to do, your belief is wishy-washy and you do not believe with a conviction of a strong heart.

    I am calling you My shepherds this night to renew your faith and your endurance to realize that I am God and I have spoken here to you this evening. I am alive, I am alive, I am alive and I am with you, I am your God.

    You wanted the light all the time and the light was not in the plan of the Father. It comes in light and it comes in darkness, it comes in death and it comes in victory, it comes in death and it comes in Resurrection, it comes in pain, and it comes in joy, but this world tells you today to look for only the joy and when you do not find it to do everything that you can to fill your selfish pleasurish whims that you have within you.

    I tell you that you must fall to your knees, that your knees will be scuffed and that you will suffer and your flesh will be torn and your head will be crowned with thorns, but you will come forth from the tomb with a veil of white across your face and you will say this is the victory that we have won because we have lived in Him.
