Today here it
is truly autumn and so
beautiful not too cold and the carpet of this
earth covered with scattered leaves of red and
gold so beautiful. It seems sometimes in fall
the sky is so very blue more than any other
time of the year.
Color God gives us color I recently recorded
the book Authenticity, John the President and I
went to the ocean, as I was feeling I should, at
different times of the day.
One afternoon the waves came to me, I was
washed as I read the Father's prayers - so beautiful
and when I was finished I was truly like one
of Adam and Eve's descendants covered by sand. Totally
covered and the waves came and went with great
power reminding me of the Power of God the
Father and His magnificence, but me, I was like the
man of dust when I was done covered with
sand from head to toe.
At the end of taping God the Father, John
said the sand hill I sat on eroded and I was
left in a standing position God lets us suffer
the waves of life, washing us men of dust, and
leaves us so empowered we remain standing
able to go there for all eternity.
Next I was awakened early and knew I needed
to go to the ocean and read Jesus' prayers. The sun was not
up and the sky was dark. I notified John who said
he could go in about ten minutes we were
soon once again on the shore of the ocean, the rain
was pressing in, but never came, instead John
said the sun met the clouds and stayed there during
pages and pages of the beautiful prayers to Jesus in
the yellow book of prayers by Fr. John Pasquini.
We had sent the prayer book to 14,000 priests,
requested by many bishops for their priests.
Now as I read the beautiful prayers, the camera
captured a magnificent beauty of the sun
shining so brightly and it looked like the fire
of Jesus' Heart was on the sand.
The dusty sand had brilliance of fire
beneath the sun and the sun met the
clouds shining so brightly. Many prayers
were to Jesus so we read some of Jesus prayers later
when the sun was shining and the ocean
so alive, the waves so beautiful.
The next day we went high from a building
and shot the Church where Fr. John is
the parochial vicar and then the beautiful
blue ocean and a sail boat to read the Holy
Spirit Prayers from the Authenticity book.
It was so beautiful and the
ocean beautiful shades of blue.
Then it was October 5 and I came to the grotto
made by Bob in the Clearwater site and
John filmed the beautiful grotto while I
read the Mary prayers. I felt a special grace
reading the beautiful prayers before the Lourdes
grotto on October 5th.

Messenger:
I am waiting to
do the Unitive stage
before the Exposed Eucharist.
The disc is so very beautiful, the ocean,
the sky and the precious prayers of the
Authenticity Book.
Today I want to focus on the precious
gifts of the Mass. It is my love affair with
God. God gives Himself to me in the Mass. I can pray
so deeply united to the Mass, the sacrifice of
Calvary, sacramentally made present, to
the Father, united to Jesus, in the Holy Spirit,
through the intercession of Mary, united to all
the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory
We can pray united as a body, so deeply for
the precious souls of the earth Jesus gave
His life for.
The priest says the prayers of the
consecration and ordinary bread and wine
is changed to the Body and Blood of Jesus.
Do we not think that God can change us and
our bad habits as we go to Him more and
more in the Mass and beg to grow to be more
likened to Him.
God loves us so much. The devil can fill
our heads with so many negative voices we
can project thoughts we have or things someone
may say about us onto our own image of
ourselves When God has given us Himself
in the Eucharist and loves us so very deeply and
yet we can focus on the negative.
He cries to us
"I love you so much"
Why do we listen to others who are
hurting themselves and may project hatred
on us.
Let's listen to God.
God gives us each other to love.
God gives us blue skies and autumn leaves,
beautiful sun rises and sunsets.
God gives us the wind that I hear
blowing and do not see and
He gives us the waves that roll
in with mighty force
God is love and in Him there is no darkness
Oh we do not see many times - the beautiful
trees like tall timbers filled with the beauty
of a sun-lit day reds and yellows and golds
When we are hurting and thinking negative
thoughts wanting to make others more
important than God we may give into
jealousies, anger, confusion against
God's will
A mighty ocean the music of mighty waves
A sun-lit day
the rustling of the wind through the trees
A blanket of green grass
A sun soft beech
little leaves to lighten a field of green
and yellow scattered with beauty and
care
Do we see the love God has for us
Do we focus on what we think we need
because of our woundedness and
selfish will
Do we see the rain as a gift from God and
The ocean as a sign of His magnificent
creation.
Where are you wind I hear the music of
the fluttering leaves, I see them
move before my eyes
but the wind remains hidden
October 17, 2006 message continues
Messenger: I don't see it at all
Oh Creator, so magnificent
so pure
so loving
so great
I know Your love in my heart
I know Your love in my brothers
I know Your beauty in Your creation,
but God I do not see You.
I do not see the wind. Do you?
The trees were golden and green and yellow and
some red and orange and the tree trunks
dark brown - standing high, but they
were intermittently scattered because
the fluffy dressed leaves covered the
dark bark in part.
Mysterious wonder I knew the whole tree
trunk was there, but I only saw a
little bit

Messenger:
All is mystery
We do not even comprehend our own hearts
Here we are sitting here, but I know so
much in my heart, but I don't even
see my stomach inside me or my
kidneys and my vessels and my blood
You see me I don't understand my own
moods and wounds, but I try to tell you a
picture about me and I don't know myself
like the tree trunks in the mass of leaves
I see little sketchy parts of the bark
peaking through, but I know a tree trunk
is behind - straight up and down - peeking
out through the fluffy leaves
October 17, 2006 message continues
Messenger: Me
I can show you my exterior and carry
tremendous wounds and suffering inside.
I can say one thing and totally mean
another or think another.
I know some person and trust deeply, but some
men or women were shocked to find their
wife or husband leave and never return or even
speak to them.
We think God is so mysterious, but we
are unable of comprehending so many truths,
but He can give us the grace to know and understand.
What about the mystery of the priest and the
Eucharist I know God in my heart truly
present in His Divinity and humanity and He
comes to me.
Hide not Your face from me, Oh God!!
We can be so limited in our vision we
want only that which we can see and we
try to control things based on things
we see and think
Our focus on details can harm our
real understanding because in reality
God is the ultimate mystery and we in our
tainted ways cannot comprehend many
things about what is real.
We are really fooling ourselves to think
we can!!
God shows us mystery in the tiniest
snowflake - how it appears so perfect and
changes as it melts.
Look at the mysteries of our bodies
changing from the ability to do things
have babies, lift heavy objects, run
and play to sitting in a wheelchair.
You say oh that is aging I say how
come the 6 year old's teeth fall out
perfect timing and another tooth is ready to come
in
Oh we are pompous in trying to explain
so many things with our limited knowledge and
control so many events with details.
Who could control the hurricanes?
I would much more like to ponder the magnificence
of God's mystery than pompously think I
know it all when in fact I know so
very little, but long for greater depth
into the mystery of God's love His
Might and magnificence.
A child may ask "mommy, why doesn't
the stars fall from the sky" "mommy,
what holds the sun in place"
"How come Aunt Mary has the baby in
her tummy and why don't you?"
How did we get here anyway?
Oh magnificent God, I love You so much and
I love You to reveal Yourself to me and to
receive You in the Eucharist oh God
I know and love You so deeply You raise
me to such heights, that a priest can
change bread and wine into the Body
and Blood of Jesus and You come to me
I do not understand but I know
this truth unexplained in any way like
how deeply one I am with the Divine God
He is my co-pilot always so deeply
one in me and He is the Divine God
I share in His life
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in me
I know Them I know the Persons of
the Trinity in a deep loving relationship
in my soul. This is not like adding up
numbers and figuring out my bank account.
God lives in me
I know Him
I love Him
I do not see Him (I have seen Him, though)
My love for you I do not touch
My love for Him, I give to you - to the world
God changes my heart. His life
lives in me.
His Word like a two-edged sword
penetrating heart and soul
Hebrews 4: 12-13
The word of God is something alive and active: it cuts more incisively than any twoedged sword: it can seek out the place where soul is divided from spirit, or joints from marrow; it can pass judgement on secret emotions and thoughts. No created thing is hidden from him; everything is uncovered and stretched fully open to the eyes of the one to whom we must give account of ourselves.
October 17, 2006 message continues
Messenger: Reality Its mystery
It's watching others and knowing how He
lives and dwells in them and shares
His love with us through those
He has chosen to love us - to
help us
God is very much aware of every detail
of our lives
Our surrendering, obeying the
ten commandments is so important
Recognizing our creaturehood letting
go of control and recognizing God as
Creator.
Why do steeples go to the sky today
many churches look like auditoriums
Where has our desire for the mystical -
insight into the hidden mysteries gone
For me it is from going to the
Eucharist and being saturated with His
grace He imparts knowledge of
Himself to me.
I know God more deeply by
studying His creation how He
acts I know Him more in loving
others
See 2 little children all dressed
for a wedding run outside and play in
a mud puddle mom was inside
thinking of her sister being married
so deep in her heart loving her
sister and half - crying with joy for
her sister about to be married
When she realized the children
had left the house she ran out and
began to cry and yell at once
The details now was on mud and little
dresses ruined for the wedding Things
she was experiencing the untouchable love
of her heart emotions not touchable deep
spiritual love of her soul for her sister
being married and WHAM
TWO LITTLE GIRLS IN A MUD PUDDLE
they were little attendants
the mud was matter, the emotions she
had and memory of her sister so wonderful,
but she had to focus now on mud and dresses
her precious thoughts now turned to
disappointment she could not touch
either of her thoughts or emotions
What is felt our love our disappointment
is not matter. A person can be so filled
with love their body seems to glow
or so filled with anger - their face turns
red, but the thoughts and feelings are not
matter like the mud and dresses.
A person can dress for a ball be
so beautiful, but be angry and anger is
not matter
or so happy and glowing with smiles
being happy is not matter
Mystery
Spirit alive inside of us filled with love.
It is my experience as a leader that
we can be very wounded and see ourselves
as very unloved, not worth a lot
Why when Jesus has given us this
great realization of how He died for us
because He loves us so much, would we
give into negatively projecting
thoughts people do not even have about
us on them so we can believe
we are unloved. And even if the
whole world doesn't love us, we think, and
thinks wrongly of us what is
important is God faithfully loves
us and will never abandon us and
we should realize that God is
judging our performance.
Like actors on a stage
God watches our performance
always He always loves us
Dear God impart to me
to see with the eyes of the soul
not to close myself off by judging
reality by what thoughts come into
my mind and limiting truth to
what I comprehend.
We must discern the spirits see
where our thoughts are coming from
You can see a person plotting evil has
a perplexed countenance many times.
Some people can hear lies from
satan and they make up such a story
in themselves they are ready to kill somebody
doing nothing
They think, just because they
think it the person is guilty of
what they are thinking about them
then they can take revenge because
of their thoughts this is really wrong.
Psalm 38: 9-23
Lord, all my longing is known to you,
my sighing no secret from you,
my heart is throbbing, my strength has failed,
the light has gone out of my eyes.Friends and companions shun my disease,
even the dearest of them keep their distance.
Those with designs on my life lay snares,
those who wish me ill speak of violence
and hatch treachery all day long.But I hear nothing, as though I were deaf,
as though dumb, saying not a word.
I am like the one who, hearing nothing,
has no sharp answer to make.For in you, Yahweh, I put my hope,
you, Lord my God, will give answer.
I said, Never let them gloat over me,
do not let them take advantage of me if my foot slips.There is no escape for me from falling,
no relief from my misery.
But I make no secret of my guilt,
I am anxious at the thought of my sin.There is no numbering those who oppose me without cause,
no counting those who hate me unprovoked,
repaying me evil for good,
slandering me for trying to do them good.Yahweh, do not desert me,
my God, do not stand aloof from me.
Come quickly to my help,
Lord, my Saviour!
2 Corinthians 5: 7-10
guided by faith and not yet by sight; we are full of confidence, then, and long instead to be exiled from the body and to be at home with the Lord. And so whether at home or exiled, we make it our ambition to please him. For at the judgement seat of Christ we are all to be seen for what we are, so that each of us may receive what he has deserved in the body, matched to whatever he has done, good or bad.
1 Corinthians 2: 7-9
It is of the mysterious wisdom of God that we talk, the wisdom that was hidden, which God predestined to be for our glory before the ages began. None of the rulers of the age recognised it; for if they had recognised it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; but it is as scripture says: "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;"
1 Corinthians 15: 51-58
Now I am going to tell you a mystery: we are not all going to fall asleep, but we are all going to be changed, instantly, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet sounds. The trumpet is going to sound, and then the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed, because this perishable nature of ours must put on imperishability, this mortal nature must put on immortality.
And after this perishable nature has put on imperishability and this mortal nature has put on immortality, then will the words of scripture come true: Death is swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin comes from the Law. Thank God, then, for giving us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So, my dear brothers, keep firm and immovable, always abounding in energy for the Lords work, being sure that in the Lord none of your labours is wasted.
