Jesus speaks: I call you to love.
I am Love.
1 John 4: 7-10
My dear friends,
let us love one another,
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.
This is the revelation
of God’s love for us,
that God sent his only Son into the world
that we might have life through him.
Love consists in this:
it is not we who loved God,
but God loved us and sent his Son
to expiate our sins.

Jesus speaks: in Me there is no darkness.
I call you to spread My light to this earth.
I call you to be honest
and truthful.
In the world I have given to you
the sign of the rainbow.
the blue of the ocean
the flowers
I have painted the world in wonderful array -
January 4, 2005 continues
Jesus speaks: I give you the stars in the dark night.
I give you the gentle skin of the baby.
I allow you to look into their eyes.
You, many of you, are hard and self-focused,
wanting to be so smart and
missing the sign of My Heart,
missing the beauty of the sunlit day -
the autumn leaves -
January 4, 2005 continues
Jesus speaks: and the massiveness of My creation.
I have painted your world in rainbow color
and many fail to see the beauty of the earth.
I have sent this message
through My messenger
that you will pray for the grace
to see beyond your fixed
and stale ways.
Let Heaven rejoice -
the Savior is born.
January 4, 2005 continues
Jesus speaks: You can be
grumpy and self-focused
or you can be a child of the light
following Me.
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
Excerpt from November 18, 1999
Jesus speaks: You see a wooded land covered with spring trees of glorious beauty, you see the fall days of beauteous color, you see the snow-capped trees with a soft white lustrous touch.
And My children, you do not control such things, it is the hand of the Creator that paints the field with a mystical brush of love.
I have given to My messenger the vision of the beauty of a celestial aura that has covered My sanctuary at certain times.
I give to you this vision. Picture the lights of heaven as a celestial veil of little gold dust, as snowflakes so close together and a veil of dense little mystical snowflakes covering the sanctuary where the Lord is in the Eucharist exposed or at the Consecration of the Mass.
See the wind blow and in the spring the petal flowers are blowing as little flakes of snow in a wooded part of the land.
See the little white snowflakes come down creating this aura of mystical beauty.
See the little leaves from Aspen trees blowing down from above as little snowflakes to grace the beautiful land.
Oh My children, I show you the lights of heaven, I describe here the aura which appeared in two of the great visions I gave to My messenger. The last of the three visions in April 1996, and the vision of August 13, 1996, before the rosary at Tom's farm.
Excerpt from September 27, 1999 Daily Message
April 9, 1996
Messenger: After Communion I had this immense presence of God. I knew a vision was coming. My vision gets a certain way. The distinct lines I see before me begin to disappear and are smudged with light.
Then I saw again the celestial lights of heaven. It was as though light was spilled from heaven and landed on the flowers and the corners of everything. The Eucharist took on an immense warmth and I knew God truly present in this room.
I saw with eyes unveiled in my soul and in the room. The room had a celestial aura, it no longer looked defined and clear. It was bathed in a gentle, celestial film and all I saw I wanted to tell to those around me. But I was so caught in His embrace that my mouth did not want to move.
Grace is being spilled on the earth. I have seen this celestial light come upon the altar of sacrifice, the monstrance and the cross. The vision on March 26 (1996) I will never forget as long as I live. The light is so thick and so intense as if the heavens open in these cracks of light and there is a depth far beyond that which any mind can envision.
The sky opened up and it rained down its grace. It opens when hearts are one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
(end of March 26, 1996 description)
Excerpt from August 12, 1999 Daily Message
The next morning of the 13th of August Mary appeared again in the same place for several hours in the same exact setting in that white light in the darkened Sorrowful Mother Chapel in the corner. In the late afternoon of the 13th, I would go to the Sorrowful Mother Chapel again.
The Eucharist was exposed and the whole front of the chapel was covered with a celestial aura and she appeared again. This time the light and the aura were a golden light, almost like a gold glistening veil across the whole front of the chapel in front of the exposed Eucharist and before Mary. I did not want to leave there. I drove to the rosary at Tom's farm...
(end of August 13, 1996 description)
Jesus speaks: I show you a mystical veil of light, looking as little minute golden snowflakes, an aura of mystery, a beauty beyond words, a veil to cover the hard cold reality of a hardened world so straight and hard, almost seemingly unable to bend or surrender. The hard must bend to the soft, the darkness must give way to the light.

Jesus speaks: I give to you
these videos/discs
that you will see My Light
and know that I have all the power.
Genesis 9: 12-15
And this’, God said, ‘is the sign of the covenant which I now make between myself and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come: I now set my bow in the clouds and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I gather the clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I shall recall the covenant between myself and you and every living creature, in a word all living things, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all living things.

Messenger:
I live in pictures and song for the depth
of my soul I cannot express and I stoop
to express the ineffable.
I know deeper the meaning of love and
sacrifice as I progress on this journey
to God and of being more likened to Him,
but I feel as one reaching for the high
cans on the shelf when one is just
too short, one reaches and reaches, but
there are limits to how high I can go.
My heart is alive with my desire to
love and serve Him and be united so very
deeply in Him and when I reach some
days - it seems I go higher than others
but what is the song of my soul is God and
my vision is eternal salvation with Him.
I see a world of darkness, a city sleeping,
a wet gog, whatever that is, but I write
as He directs me and it does describe something
to someone, I am sure -
The picture is in the mind of the artist,
but if the Divine Author writes or paints
in the instrument, how do we measure the
message being conveyed.
Here is a picture of the video He sent
me to Clearwater on the feast of the
Epiphany.

January 4, 2005 continues
Messenger:
To me I see myself in the second
video behind a veil, in the veil - I
see a veil as I proceed to sing and praise
Him and love Him and give myself to Him and
to all as He uses me as an instrument
to convey a message.
John W., the president, saw as a light
in the video, coming from the star,
the sun above where Mary's face once was,
Now we see as gentle snow many times
permeating the picture - maybe as grace
comes in us and permeates our soul.
The star shown above the stable in
Bethlehem and the incarnation goes on in
us. But if we fail to recognize that we
are in the state of becoming - that we
have not arrived at our destiny - that
we are the imperfect children of Eve -
we will deny our own sinfulness and point
to others when our own imperfections rip
a hole in relationships we long to build.
In the element of building a bridge there
is one who envisions the bridge clearly in
his mind and works for its completion -
There must be the vision -
There must be the one saying to the people
"Keep on, Keep on, Keep on"
People can come with sickness, hangovers,
anger etc to the job and if the
Bridge Builder wants his bridge
built - the angry guy does not shoot
a hole in the Bridge builders plan -
God looks to the earth and
He has wanted man to love and serve Him and
strive to be more perfected, likened to God -
The devil is real -
He lures the ones to do his work -
He parades sinful things before men -
He appeals to the appetites -
He appeals to the pride,
He appeals to the greed -
He wants men to be jealous -
seeking riches and
Like a man sitting in a chair and seeing
the parade of vices he can engage in
go before him - he CAN SAY -
NO TO SIN -
We can say yes to love -
We can say yes to building the bridge -
For what good does it do us to study the
ways of others and all the ways we
think perfection is achieved and
fail to love - ourselves
love God so much - that always
before our eyes is the vision of the
Bridge Builder and our role in
it.
We can see the ocean and its vastness and
we may not even see the other side,
but we enjoy its beauty and its
unending scope as it appears to us.
Why would a man when watching an
ocean liner far in the distance
want the vast body to show the
clutter of the streets of a cluttered
town
The joy to see it go on and on and on is
beyond words, the simplicity of God's
creations, the ever-changing beauty
of it - day, and night and oh what God
gives to us -
Can we put a horse in a thimble -
But some will try -
Some want to control the things that are
not for us to control -
the element of mystery is what we
meditate on in the rosary -
the Mystery of the lives of Jesus and Mary -
the love between Them -
the love Jesus has for the creatures
of the earth to die for them -
Mystery that the Son of God gives Himself
for us - to His death on the cross -
the Mystery that God remains with us
this day - truly present in the
Eucharist -
Jesus speaks: Quit
trying to put Me in your
thimbles - like you can find
the end of the rainbow and touch
it -
You will never touch the rainbow
no matter how hard you try -
Jesus speaks: I have
appeared in rainbow color on
My building in Clearwater and the
rainbow shines on your dirty
black top -
explain that, you glass experts

Jesus speaks: I have given
these videos/disc that you
would reach beyond the veil and beg
for the grace to see -
Oh little men, if you take out the
Bridge Builder unless someone
assumes the lead - the bridge
building stops -
A man had a mote and he wanted a bridge to
the mainland so he gathered all his friends
from the mainland and he paid them well
to help him build a bridge from the
mainland to his place - in the middle
of the work - he died and no one else
really cared that the bridge would
be built - so that was the end of
his bridge and his dream -
money spent was as much as poured in
the sea.
I watch you spend "big bucks" on your
entertainment - sports gods and your
idles and when the collection basket
is passed - you are no where around
to even drop in your mite -
Oh men of the earth -
My Church is in the state of becoming -
My priests declining and dying faster
than you can count them
My world in need of renewal -
I have given this message to Father Carter on the
Feast of St. Ignatius
Given to Father Carter
on the Feast of St. Ignatius
July 31, 1994
Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.
"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."

Jesus speaks: and asked now to pray as I have directed -
January 4, 2005 continues
Jesus speaks: the key is
in your dedication to
Me as the Sacred Heart -
I show you My Heart for I
am an endless vat of
love on fire for My precious souls -
Practice --
Satan wants you to talk about
religion and fail to love
I want you to be likened to Me --
the Bridge is built by many
workers - working as one --
Satan has tempted men to work as
one and stay as one and be
isolated --
My work cannot be accomplished
unless you work together in
love -- having the vision of the
finished bridge before your
eyes --
In the end My Sacred Heart will Reign
and the Heart of My Mother will triumph --
10 men went to work to build a bridge --
3 fought all day and focused on themselves
2 were having trouble getting along
but they kept working and put
their differences aside
One man sat alone most of the
day and didn't help - he felt
above that
One lady was honestly feeling sick --
But 2 other ladies just told themselves
they were sick and didn't do
any work
The Man in charge with the vision --
trying to build the bridge --
accomplished nothing himself, he was
trying to motivate his workers, fix
their problems --
at the end of the day he cried --
sitting on the bank --
hands on his face --
he cried out
I have ten men --
the work of two men was accomplished.
I put you like workers into My field.
I set you on My seas like fishermen --
How many fish caught --
January 4, 2005 continues
Jesus speaks:
I am like the Bridge - Builder
trying to even reach a fisherman
with ears --
Do I dare call you a fisherman --
you do not fish --
you are stale and many so self
focused -- they do little work,
fix their nails, exercise
their bodies -- not for health
reasons, but for the glory of
a beautiful body to be admired
and given love.
Oh where are the fishermen?
Why are My seas stocked with
fish and no one sticks in
their pole --
they are sitting on the banks
basking in the sun, contemplating
their own glory, not the glory of
God.
A castle was built and a man lived in the
house 40 years -- at the end of
his life he willed it to his
eldest son --
the son came and trashed the
castle in a week
I came to this earth and I planted My
garden at Calvary --
I mounted the tree
I shed My Blood until there
was none left --
Where is the fruit --
the prunes are dry and really
dried up --
that is okay --
but your hearts --
do you want dried up hearts --
minds talking about love and
never loving --
connections never made because
everyone is too busy writing
the job for their own glory and
fame -- they want fame and
a name --
Blessed is he who comes in the
name of the Lord
I have given to you the vast ocean and
no one has built the bridge
across the Atlantic - have they?
How will you build your bridge --
the one that leads to life eternal --
how will you come to Me?
Jesus speaks:
It is grace that you must
desire --
I outpour My
richest grace to you
before the Blessed Sacrament --
You need to have
time alone with
Me --
so you can put together
all the fragmented
pieces of your life
and know more
clearly God's will --
Do you think about your
actions and if you are
following the Father's
Plan for you or
Do you just keep
going doing
"GOOD IDEAS"
Because you never
come to Me - so I can
help you to see --
so the Holy Spirit can direct
you -- so you can
love and know the Father
more deeply and do
His will!!
Don't be like a busy
little wind up doll --
deciding - whatever
you do is a good
action is necessarily
God's will for you --
Sally did many good
works, but I wanted
her to help run a
big religious order --
she did lots and lots of
volunteer work which
was good things, but
didn't have time
for doing what I was
asking her to do --
Pray for grace to do God's
will -- listen -- pray --
Come before the Blessed
Sacrament daily for one
hour. I will outpour
My richest graces --
