                            she would be love.

September 13, 2005 Talk

after Mass
  

Messenger:  In the name of Your Son Jesus, in the Holy Spirit with all the angels and all the saints and the souls in purgatory, through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater, Fr. Carter, Pope John Paul II and Margaret and all of our friends and relatives that we know that are in heaven, we pray for great grace to be outpoured on this world, that mercy and grace will be granted for the priests, the Church and the world. We give ourselves to you completely, dear God and we want to go from this place today to be, as you said this morning, more united to You and one with You, empowered as You work in our hearts to help us to be more the spouse of Jesus. As we recognize more, You, as the bridegroom of our souls, as we love You more deeply, and in all of our struggles in dealing with each other, in our learning to love and forgive and to build the Kingdom as You desire us to, spread the Blood of Jesus on all of us, consecrate our hearts, cast the devil far away and we beg for the Holy Spirit for all of us here, for everybody hearing my voice, for every person that touches the Shepherds of Christ, for Fr. Lou and for all of our members, for the whole Church and the whole world, we consecrate the whole Church and the whole world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary and we pray for the funds and all of our needs to be able to do the work with the Newsletter and the Prayer Chapters and the School Rosary Program and all of our ministries. We give ourselves completely to You and in this time of prayer God, please grant grace to the world and mercy. Please God, and help the world to be the way that You want the world to be. Amen. We pray for this great era of peace.

Song:  The Wedding Song

Messenger:  Dear God help us to be so deeply united to You and to treasure the gift of the Eucharist, for You truly are the bridegroom of our souls.

Song:  The Wedding Song

Messenger:  You hear the words of Jesus as He speaks to us over and over and over again in this Movement, in the Blue Book writings, for this in reality and this is the purpose of this prayer today. That we will go from here empowered and in deep oneness with our God, that we will know His mercy and His love, that we will be strengthened in this love to be able to fight off the tactics that the devil may use to disempower us or take us from His work, that we will learn to forgive and love. Because God has called us to love and to work with each other in this Mission and we don't want to not do this work. We love Him so much and because we know how important it is to forgive and work with each other, we pray for the grace to always keep going in love, to be productive, to try to understand each other and to work to help promote His Kingdom. This is the answer. This is the message of the fourth Blue Book, the book that Jesus told us to have available this day. It's taken 11 years and we sing.

Sing:  There is love

Messenger:  The Divine God is truly present in His Divinity and Humanity and He calls us to praise and worship and honor Him and to love Him — to kneel before Him when we come up to do our commitment and to look at the host and to see the beauty that God has given to us in remaining with us always. Dear God we love You so deeply and thank You for this gift of the Eucharist. We beg for forgiveness for our sins and the sins of the world and we ask You to look at our love for You. And today as we pray together deeply as intercessors for the priests and the Church and the world, to look at our love for You and for each other and our suffering and our struggle to try to be united deeply despite ourselves in our weaknesses. 

    God You are all pure and holy and we love You so much. We are the poor banished children of Eve, but our hearts are consumed with love for Thee. Please hear our heart-felt prayer and help the world to be the way that You desire it to be. Hear our prayer God, King of Kings, Master of the Universe, Lord and Master of all, take us to Your Heart consumed with love for souls and help us to feast of the treasures there, to be wrapped in Your Heart and to know the intensity of that love that we are strengthened and go forth and helping to build Your Kingdom here below and helping souls through our prayers and our efforts to be with You for all eternity. 

    God, shower us with Your grace and like the snow plow that goes through the heart, help us to heal from any old bitterness and hatred, anger whatever it is. Mary we give our heart to you that we can be in your Immaculate Heart and more pure. Help heal us God, that we can be holy and forever with You in the deepest love for all eternity. And so we sing in honor and love to You Our beloved God truly present and with us here before us, exposed in the Blessed Sacrament.

Song:  Jesus, My Lord, My God My All

Messenger:  Sing sweetly to God.

Song:  Jesus, My Lord, My God My All

Sing:  There is love, There is love

Messenger:  And God is love, and if we are to be one with Him we must be loving. And so if we hold on to bitterness and hate and we don't want to forgive and we don't want to let go, then we can see why we feel divided, because His Heart is all pure. And in order to unite to the Divine God very deeply in a deep union we have to learn to let go. 

    And so God on this Tuesday which is healing day, we pray for healing in our hearts, that we can have the grace to let go — that even in difficulties that we can work lovingly and let go because we have a very important work to do. And so few days here on this earth, winter turns to spring, and spring to summer and then to fall and so how it goes with the days of our lives. And we read so often that quote from Bernadine and he is talking about fall and he has cancer and he says "I know I will not be here in the spring." And he wasn't.

    Today we are preparing for our life hereafter and how we learn to love we prepare for the life hereafter. And how we learn to forgive we prepare for the life hereafter. We take all those things in our heart in love and holiness with us. The body goes to the ground. And when we hang on to hatred and hate, when we sin against God, when we are isolated in bitterness, all those things we can't touch too. What are we doing with that heart that was meant for God? In the bitterness and the sin, that is mortal sin, that many live in this day — we pray dear God for the grace that their hearts will be changed, that they will cooperate with that grace. We pray for those children that Mary cried out, "I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried for the little ones that would be lost forever." We pray for grace, for grace and light that the world will see with the light of seven suns. 

    That we will see, that we will be able to live the Our Father so when it says, "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" we will learn what it said in this great rosary that we are going to pass out to you. It was from August the 2nd, it was so good. If you really do that rosary out loud with somebody, you'll love it, it's wonderful. It's teaching us all how to let go, teaching us as God unveils some of our thinking when satan comes and he attacks. We are not going to do that here today, but you should take it with you and do it out loud with somebody. 

    And when you hear Jesus talk to you, He saying to you, "Little one, little one, little one - I'm talking to you" and then He watches us run down the road with our fingers in our ears and saying "I don't hear You Jesus, I want to be mad." And He says "Little one, little one - you're going down the wrong road." You can discipline your will right now and you can give in and just try to do God's will and forgive or you can hold on to that thing for 3 weeks. I mean satan is right behind our heads saying, "OK we are not going to forgive. I'm going to hold on to this thing for 3 weeks" and God is knocking on the door of our hearts saying, "Hey, I got all this work for you to do, what are you doing in there?" And you're saying, "I'm sitting in a corner and I'm mad" and then you put the fingers in the ears and you say "I ain't going to listen to You God." 

    And then we may even go to church and then we sit in church and we say, "I just don't even feel good in church." But there's this thing that we got in our hearts that's like some kind of a big anchor and we just are not going to take it out. And we may even go up to communion, and God is saying, "I'm the Divine God and I'm giving Myself to you in this intimate union and you come up here with this big anchor in your heart" because somebody dribbled some juice on your skirt — if you're a girl. And you say, "Oh well they were trying to make me look ugly that's why I'm holding on to it" — that judging that gets in there. They did it vindictively. Satan likes that. He likes to make you think the person had this motive for doing something that was dishonorable to get the fire going while you are going to be angry. 

    And the Divine God truly present outpours His love and He's with us. When we're in the state of grace, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell so deeply within us. And that's not saying that we can say, "I'm never going to have a problem" because we have problems, because we have wounds, because we react this way or that way or whatever the case is. But the Our Father gives us the answer, "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." Let go. 

    And you think about the little children. So they can end up having a problem with their sister or their neighbor, or whatever it is and they might not share. He/she won't share. But then after a little while they figure, well gee, "I ain't going to go on with this for 3 weeks." They're back and they are having a tea party with each other. I mean they just get right over it. Here we go. Suzie wouldn't share but then we worked it out. The next thing you know, they aren't even thinking about it anymore. 

    What's wrong with us that we just can't let go? But the devil knows that. It's not even sometimes the thing that ended up happening but it is the judgment that goes into it that they did this vindictively or they're always doing that. Satan presses on us. He presses on us to hold on to something that we really have to just let go of because we're all imperfect. I'm imperfect, you're imperfect, we're imperfect - but we have to do God's work. And the bottom line is - is that there is love.

    Why did God have us do that at every Hail Mary, and then do the Litany to the Blood of Jesus? To impress upon our minds as we looked at the Eucharist and we said the Hail Mary, the all Mother Mary who is pure to say - there is love - and that is the answer. When we're feeling divided like that we have to remember there is love. That helps us let go. That helps us remember how much we do love that person and we want to let go. There is love. God is love. If I am going to be one with God I have to let that snowplow, right now, go down in our hearts and just dig out some of that stuff that we may not even realize that we hold bitterness towards whoever, our mom, our dad, whoever. There is love Jesus says. There is love for My Father. There is love for the way that they did those things. There is love. And if we're going to move on we've got to forgive. We got to recognize that they were imperfect and they may have hurt us. But there is love! How can I move into a loving relationship with God and with others if I am not going to love somebody as important in my life as my father that contributed to giving me life.

    The bad thing is it doesn't do anything but hurt us to hold on to bitterness or whatever else. So lets pray to God right now for the grace to hear those words that each one of us got up here in front of Jesus and we sang and to hear the words that says "There is love, there is love." If we are going to be like Jesus we got to say what? "There is love." So we get divided, so we'll work it out and get over it. There is love. Do we want to be close with the Divine God who we were created to be close to and we're never going to be happy if we are not close to the Divine God. We just are not going to be happy. I can't go buy a resort, buy a yacht, go all over the world. None of those things are really going to give me the happiness that I really was created for. The only thing that's going to give me the happiness that I was created for is to have this intimacy with God. And how am I going to get that? Well if we all want to take our hearts and hang it like He said a couple of days ago, like cob-webs in there, and then say, "OK God, come in and be in my heart." He says "Well your heart got all this junk in it." 

    We got to let go. It's not that we have problems with one another but it's that we handle those problems in love. It's that we want God's work so much that we see what God has called us to. The Blessed Mother never appeared like she did on the building in Clearwater for 7 1/2 years in the history of the world and that has been given to us. If that's not a big enough sign that God has called us to a particular mission then we're missing something there. That should help us. As terrible as the devastation is in New Orleans, it's a sign to me that God wants us to pray harder, that God wants us to be deeper intercessors. How can you and me be a deeper intercessor? "There is love." That's the answer. "There is love." There is love. There is love. There is love.

    We don't have a right to go around for 3 weeks and make ourselves be mad. We got to work out what's in our hearts, if we want peace. I want to be at peace. I want to be loving. I want to laugh. I want to be one with Jesus. I want to laugh with my grandkids. I want to be pure in heart like the Virgin Mary. 

    And yet we're down here in this valley of tears, we're all imperfect, we're all going to have problems. But the bottom line is that with God's grace every minute of our lives is in preparation for our heavenly reward. And how did we live that minute, in the suffering and the struggle to be more holy. It can be a fruitful moment if we operate according to God's will. If we remember that there is love, if we remember how deeply our whole motive force within our souls is love of God, to be so deeply united with Him for all eternity, that that is the propelling force within us. And that is why in working with each other in the imperfections, if we have problems it's O.K. 

    But it's how we handle it, how much bitterness is in it, how much hatred is in it, how many wounds from the past get in this. So then we just don't do God's will today. Well, you are just like a sitting duck, lalalallala. You pressed my button. Plut! You're gone. Who's running your body and your spirit? We can't be like that. We are always striving to do God's will and we might hit a bump in the road and if we got a car what do we do? We just drive over the bump and keep going. How would that be if on the road every time somebody sees a bump they just stop? 

    We do that. You're going along — do da do da doo da — and then satan presses, plut! That's the end. I'm just going to sit here. So you go out on the road and there's all these people that just hit a bump so they just sat there. How far would we get? Well how far are we getting in the spiritual life when we treat our spiritual life this way? We just go along — de da de da de da. It's all nice if its loving and everything is going our way but the second that there's a problem — God calls us to settle problems in love. God calls us to pray in difficulty. God calls us to live as a spouse of Jesus and the spouse of Jesus is always living to please Him, always knowing His might, always having His peace in their hearts. And always relishing the gift that God has given to us. Jesus Christ the man came to this earth and He died on the cross but He left with us a gift of the Eucharist, His Body and Blood, His Presence, truly present in His Divinity and Humanity. Weep no more babies, the Son of God is truly present and in this church. 

    But we just don't always see with that clear vision and light because there is the evil one that comes in — do da do da do da do — and he would just like to knock your socks off. But if he does or he throws a wet wash cloth in your face, plut! — that's what I see. If I've been praying for 2 or 3 hours and you walk out of the church and its like here comes the wet wash cloth - plusttt - and then how do you deal with it? 

    We are all in school. We're in school learning how to deal with these things so that we can be likened to the Saints, so that we can be more like Mary and Jesus, so that we can look at the heart of Mary and see how it's all pure. The singular vessel, the one that God has given to us that we can unite deeply to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 

    But I'll tell you the two deadly things in our hearts are hate and bitterness or anger whatever, all those yuck-os, wherever they're at. So when Jesus has these healing services every Tuesday and we have the prayers, just the regular prayers but He gives a lot of grace for healing, the 6:20 prayers — we should be praying to Him for healing to help us because He will give us special grace those days — doing the Holy Spirit Novena, the Red Book and the Rosary. Tuesday is the healing night. Tuesday today we pray for this grace of healing.

    You'll love this rosary. This is just a wonderful rosary. It was a Tuesday night when I did it. But you have to hear the tone of voice — Jesus calling "little one, little one, I'm calling you" and then you can see the person just run down the road as fast as they can go with their fingers in their ears. "That's too hard Jesus, you expect me to give in?" 

    When you're angry you don't want to give in. But it's like puncturing a big balloon or something, all of a sudden everything's o.k. cause you decided to give in, make up and then it's all just hunky-dory. You can do your work but the devil just presses, and he really does press. That's a good word that Jesus uses in the blue book. And He said the first message in the first blue book, "His grip is paralyzing and crippling." Guess what He said in that first message in Blue Book I? "I want to be one in you and you one in Me." And the next thing He comes up - "but satan is going to come and his grip is paralyzing and crippling." And that's what he wants. He doesn't want us to be one with God.

    In order to be one with God we have to let go of this debris that's in our heart, willingly. You know I can't touch my will. I guess I could touch my heart if I could get in there. But I can't touch my will. These are all these untouchable things that are elevated more when we are baptized. We can love more deeply because our loving capacity is elevated at baptism and our knowing capacity is elevated at baptism. All these things that we take on with us forever. 

    So we step out of this life and we go to the next life but all these things are going with us. We're in preparation today. When I dealt with this situation I was in preparation for heaven. I am preparing my heart how I am in my loving ways for being more deeply united to God here today and for all eternity. 

    I mean my body is getting old, all I have to do is look in a mirror and see how old my body has been getting. In these fifty-nine years it just keeps getting older. But my capacity to love God and others hopefully has grown enormously that I can be more deeply united to Him as the spouse of Jesus, the bridegroom of my soul.

Song:  Jesus, My Lord, My God My All

Messenger:  You can hear the song that Jesus wants us to hear, the song that He sings to us as the Bridegroom of our souls.

Song:  The Wedding Song

Messenger:  And this is real. The problems that we have are o.k., we're not perfect. What is real is the love that God gives to us today and each other in the Shepherds of Christ, and His presence here in the Eucharist. This is real. What I speak of is real and it's so foolish that the word is not out there. Help us. To a world that is hungry and hurting the answers are here that God gives to us to help unveil the workings of satan in our lives.

Song:  The Wedding Song

Messenger:  Those were some of my sins.

Song:  The Wedding Song

Messenger:  What our Lord would like us to do is to come up and to make our commitment at the altar, and this time, this month we get to read 3 sentences out of the Blue Book IV — commit, read our 3 sentences out of the Blue Book IV, and then sing - There is love.

    And anybody can come up and commit. I'm committing as an apostle, some commit as a servant and a handmaid, some commit as an Apostle of the Eucharistic Heart, some people commit as an associate. Whatever you are you can come up and if you want to. But Jesus likes it when we come up, just to do it if you want to.

Messenger:     The Blue Book IV is a gift telling of God's
                            pure love and the love of Mary our
                            Mother and how we should be pure
                            in our love of each other.

                        This book is available in big print.
                            It costs us about 17.95 to print.
                            The selling price to you is $25.00 plus postage.

                        We hope to have the book, Blue Book IV in regular
                            size for Christmas presents — we need
                            funds for this — Little gifts from a lot
                            of people would help.

                        It is 282 pages in the little size.
                        About the same size as the new Blue Book I.

                        Please get this book and help us spread it.

                        It is a very SWEET Book.
                        Written when Mary first appeared to me daily
                             July 5, 1994.
                        Written when Fr. Carter began the 1st Newsletter.
                        Written when Fr. Carter wrote the prayer manual — 
                        Written when Fr. Carter wrote the Spirituality Handbook.
                        Written when Fr. Carter put together Tell My People.
                        Written when the red rosary book began.
                        Written when the first live rosaries started.

                        Fr. Carter went to all the apparitions of Mary to
                            me beginning July 9, 1994 that were
                            around 6:30.

                        This was a great period of grace and love for
                            all of us —

                        This first Blue Book really filled with the
                            Two Hearts is awesome.

                        It is such a treasure.

                        The big print issue is easier for elderly
                            to see and can lay flat on their
                            laps.

                        The books we have like these make wonderful
                            Christmas gifts —

                        They keep giving the rest of their life.
