October 19, 2000 - Second Message

Messenger: Here is a message Jesus directed me to put on today, October 19, l993.

Look at all that has happened in seven years.

I was writing these messages seven years ago and the Blue Books were not published yet.

Now today, we have touched the world in 90 countries with the Shepherds of Christ newsletter and the Shepherds of Christ prayers. This is Jesus' Movement. When He gave me the message, October 19, l993, He knew how today the Movement would be in 90 countries, that there would be very many servants and handmaids and apostles.

Jesus gave these words October 19, l993, and He wishes us to study them today -- 7 years later.

Circulate These Messages

God's Blue Book I Cover

October 19, 1993

Child, I have longed for and waited for you here. Totally focus on Me and My light beaming into your soul. Put aside Satan and all his prompting to not publish these letters. It is indeed he who drums up doubt. He doesn't want you to know he is there creating all that in your head. Doubt, doubt, doubt!

Do you hear My voice, child? I am talking to you in an audible voice. I want you to write all I tell you, little one. I am truly here in this tabernacle, body and soul. I am with you, little love. Do not get upset and bowed down. You know I have been talking to you for two years. Read your letters. One letter tells you that you couldn't write it. Satan does not want you to spread these messages. I do. Put him in his place. By the Body and Blood of Christ, I cast out Satan and all his evilness and I command him to leave in Jesus' name. Go and begone!

I am your true Jesus, the Savior of this world. I am ever by your side and I am loving you in all your doubts and trials. I never leave you, little one, even for a split second. I love you, in your doubt. Pray for faith and trust in Me. These are two virtues you should ask God to give you. Beg for them. They are gifts. You strengthen your trust in God when you practice trust in the face of adversity. I am your Savior. I am He Who saves you. I protect you from Satan's lies and he has no power over Me or you if you focus on Me and My divine wisdom. I am the God of Jacob and Joseph and all your Fathers and you are never alone. I watch you as I did them and they for all their lives were taken care of, even if they never knew it. You are taken care of, little one, and I want you to know it.

As a child of God, you are cared for by your birth father and birth mother and loved with the greatest love. You are Our child, too, precious, beautiful, full of God's love and you are truly favored. Know your specialness and your dignity. Know your uniqueness. Feel warm and secure in My love and then you will run and not get weary. You will shine like the brightest stars in the darkest night. Your lights are bright lights in the night, but you must be feeling good inside to do this. Satan wants you bowed down. You can't shine when you are bowed down. Shine as a beacon light in the darkest night. Let all who see you praise Him Who is your Father. You are a reflection of Our love for you if you keep yourself holy. Strive to be holy as your heavenly Father. In all things, do that which is the saintly thing. I love you so much, little one. Come and rest in Me.

You are being called by Me to be here. Don't doubt-that is Satan, I tell you. He wants to stop your letters. You are taking messages from Me for your brothers. Listen and write what I tell you. You must get them out, I tell you. You tarry too much. I want My flock to return to Me. Your messages are of My love and My waiting for them. They need to know this. The harvest is ripe. Their hearts are longing for these words that I give to you. You must do your part now. Have no fear. I make you selfless. You are serving Me. You are not doing it for yourself! This is for My honor and glory and for love of your brothers. I don't want any doubts. Do My will, child. Circulate these messages. I am a jealous God and I want My children to return to Me. I have so much to give them. They will be attentive to these letters but you must circulate them now, child. Do not tarry. Do not doubt. That is from the evil one. He wants to stop My letters from reaching My children. I love you and I know I can count on you to do My will. You said you would do My will. This is My will for you. The harvest is ripe. You have the seeds. I provide water and sunlight. They will drink if they are thirsty. They will feed if they turn their hearts to Me. You provide the seeds. I provide everything they need. Many will answer My call through you if you circulate these messages. Come and do My work now! Don't be afraid. Don't even think. This is not trust in Me or faith in Me when you worry and look for proof. My proof is found in reading these messages. You do not have such wisdom. Child, I am God and these messages were written by Me. That is why they are so simple. I love you all so much. Be selfless and obedient. Don't look for proof and answers. I will provide you with all you need to do My work. You must be free in heart. This only comes from total trust in Me. The time is right and the harvest is ready. Go and do your work. Be obedient. I need you to do My work. You are My hands. You are My sower. You are My instrument. You are only as I am in you. Be selfless and unattached to any glory or persecution. You must do My work and remain selfless but steadfast in My love. I beckon you to follow My commands. My love is there. My truth is there. You needn't worry. The harvest is ripe and you are the sower. Do My work, My child. I go in you to reach My children. I love you

Do not get anxious. Get closer to Me. Pray constantly. You must remain in Me in total trust to do this work. I have primed the pump with many letters of trust and faith to you. I have sent you letters about fear. You were prepared for this, My child. Remain only in Me. Every day at least one hour in front of the tabernacle. Don't think. Your proof is in the truth in these letters. Go now and do as I command you to do. I am your strength. I am your power. I am your might. I am all you need.


Mass Book II Entry

Through Him, With Him and In Him


Messenger:  From a book of Fr.Carter's printed 1975, Now is the Time.

Imprimatur: Joseph Bernardin, Archbishop of Cincinnati, June 4, 1974

28. Experiencing the Eucharist

Then, taking bread and giving thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying: 'This is my body to be given for you. Do this as a remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after eating, saying as he did so: 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.’ (Lk 22:19-20)

The Eucharist has many dimensions, all profoundly and beautifully united. For example, the Eucharist is a narrative, relating God's love story. It is a sacrifice, an unbloody or sign-renewal of Christ's earthly sacrifice. The Eucharist is also a covenant meal. These and other aspects of the Eucharist comprise a rich and diversified gift of God, one we are meant to encounter again and again.

From whatever perspective we consider the Eucharist, we see that it is a personal encounter. Through the humanity of Jesus, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit communicate themselves to us anew. Through the intimate gift of the Eucharist, they strikingly manifest their love for us, and ask for our response of love. In, with, and through Jesus we respond. Each Eucharistic encounter is meant to strengthen our love-bond with Jesus, so that we can say with increased meaning along with St. Paul: "Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Trial, or distress, or persecution, or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or the sword?…For I am certain that neither death nor life, neither angels nor. principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor powers, neither height nor depth nor any other creature, will be able to separate us from the love of God that comes to us in Christ Jesus, our Lord." (Rom 8:35-39).

The Eucharist is not only a personal encounter with God in Christ. In Christ we also encounter the other members of the People of God. In receiving the Eucharist we pledge ourselves to deepen our love-union with all the members of the Body which is the Church. We pledge to use those means which foster union; we determine to void that which causes selfish divisiveness.

The Eucharist also reminds us of our relationship with all mankind. Jesus died and rose for all; the Eucharistic renewal of this paschal mystery nourishes our determination to assist in the work of on-going redemption. The light of the Eucharist points to what we should be doing; the strength of the Eucharist assists us to so act in behalf of the brethren.

The Eucharist, then, possesses a rich capacity to help us maintain and develop our personal relationships with God, the People of God, and all mankind. And it will do just this-if we so allow it.


March 5, 1998 - 9th Day

Messenger: My dear Bridegroom,
I see now the plan of the Father and that we are all children in His holy family. This is how we must see the world. It is His, we are one, He is our Father. We would not talk about our brother, we would love him. Always love him, as a brother in the holy family of the Father. We must keep our family pure. Each family is a little family of the Father's family, we are all related as the children of Eve, but this life in the Spirit, this relationship is all in the Spirit. If we understand generations and blood lines, we should clearly understand the connections of this family living as children of God. As we read in John 1:13, "who were born not from human stock or human desire or human will, but from God Himself."

He is the Initiator. We are the ones responding to His initiative. He is the life. He is the light.

John 1:3-8
Through him all things came into being,
not one thing came into being
    except through him.
What has come into being in him was life,
life that was the light of men;
and light shines in darkness,
and darkness could not overpower it.

A man came, sent by God.
His name was John.
He came as a witness,
to bear witness to the light,
so that everyone might believe
    through him.
He was not the light,
he was to bear witness to the light.

Thus it states: The witness of John (John 1:23)

So he said, 'I am, as Isaiah prophesied:

A voice of one that cries in the desert:
Prepare a way for the Lord.
Make his paths straight!'

All division will be finished, the hills leveled, the valleys filled in for there will be one flock and one Shepherd, one family of the Father.

The Son, the Word, reveals the Father, thus: John 1:1,3 he begins,

In the beginning was the Word:
the Word was with God
and the Word was God.

Through him all things came into being,
not one thing came into being
    except through him.

Zachariah was struck dumb for not believing, John was the voice to prepare the way of the Lord.

I saw John the Baptist in Conyers, Georgia April 14 or 15, 1993. I had experienced the loss of my voice, I was struck speechless.

The voice that came forth was His to prepare the way for the Lord of Hosts.

His voice speaks in these teachings, the voice of the Good Shepherd in Father Carter's and my revelations.

Here is John's testimony: '...Look, there is the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world.' (John 1: 29)


Messenger: The excerpt from our founder's book published in the 70's comes from one of 50 different reflections our founder wrote in this book.

Today our Lord has asked me to include another entry from the book, Now is the Time.


Entry 50 from Now is the Time, by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.

50. Now Links Up With Eternity

The sum of a man's days is great
   if it reaches a hundred years:
Like a drop of sea water, like a grain
   of sand,
so are these few years among the
   days of eternity.
                                              (Sir 18:7-8)

    Some people do not believe in eternity. They admit this to themselves; they may or may not admit it to others. For such people life upon earth is an absolute. There is nothing which follows. For such people, death is completely final, nothing follows except complete darkness, absolute nothingness. Some who believe in no eternity look upon life as an absurdity, a fathomless and absurd mystery which will never yield understanding. The most one can hope for is courageously to face the absurdity as best as possible, hoping to reduce suffering and despair to a minimum. Others, who likewise believe in no after-life, but who by nature are endowed with a more cheerful and positive disposition, may well live this earthly life with a great deal of zest and expectation. But even for these people, the spectre of death tends to cast a shadow across the rest of life.

    There is a thrust toward immortality lodged within every human heart, a thrust which rebels against the thought of complete extinction, even though one has tried to stamp out such a desire by proclamations of disbelief in eternal life. This conflict between the innate desire for immortality and intellectual disavowal of eternal life inevitably adds a share of bitterness to the nonbeliever’s quest for earthly happiness.

    It is a constant challenge for us who believe in eternal life to live accordingly. We have to maintain our desire to live dynamically the life Jesus came to give; otherwise, there is the imminent danger that our days will unfold not too differently than those of the non-believer.

    We speak of the age-old mountains, the deathless stars, and the eternal hills. Yet these expressions of timelessness are only a faint indication of eternity's timelessness. Each day we have a fresh opportunity to shape our own eternities. Each day we also have a renewed opportunity to help others fashion their eternities. There is, then, this inevitable link between now and eternity. The way we live the now will determine the way we live the eternity.


Messenger: Our founder is battling cancer and Jesus wants the souls of the earth praying for him.

Here is a picture of our founder from the back bookcover of his book written in the seventies, with a small article about  him.

Today he has finally retired his teaching at Xavier University after more than 30 years of teaching because of the cancer. He was unable to complete this semester. 

Please pray for him. It is because of his help that the Shepherds of Christ is where it is today.

For Helping in the Renewal of the
Church and the World

WE PRAY FOR PRIESTS, THE RENEWAL OF THE CHURCH, AND THE WORLD.

We join as a body united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offering our lives to the Father as intercessors praying for our priests, the Church, and the world.

WILL YOU PRAY WITH US?

Your prayers united to ours will help the priests, the Church, and the world.

Our Focus

WE HAVE PRAYER CHAPTERS PRAYING ALL OVER THE WORLD for the priests, the Church, and the world.

OUR PRIMARY FOCUS is the circulation of a newsletter.

WE CIRCULATE A SPIRITUALITY NEWSLETTER written by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J., a Jesuit Theologian with a Doctor's degree in Theology and author of 17 books, to about 70,000 priests in the world in both English and Spanish. Father Carter has been a professor of Theology for over 30 years.

Besides being sent to about 50,000 priests and bishops in the U.S.A., the newsletter is sent internationally to about 225 bishops, including 4 cardinals, who distribute copies to all of their priests, and also, in some cases, to their deacons and seminarians.

The newsletter is centered in consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. It features writings regarding our union with Jesus and the Father and the Holy Spirit and Mary. The newsletter also stresses the Eucharist, the Church, prayer, and one's responsibility regarding the social order. The newsletter stresses sound doctrine as found in Scripture, the writings of the Popes and other Church documents. It also presents selected writings from the saints and competent priest-theologians and others.

The newsletter can be used by all for development in the spiritual life centered in consecration.

WE WANT TO BE INTERCESSORS PROMOTING UNITY IN PRAYER WITH ALL PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, PRAYING FOR THE PRIESTS, THE CHURCH, AND THE WORLD.

We have described above the primary ministry of the Movement, the spirituality newsletter for priests, Shepherds of Christ. The 2nd most important ministry is the prayer chapters, whose members pray for the needs of priests and for the needs of all others also. Other ministries include promoting the act of consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary as widely as possible. Promoting this act of consecration permeates all of our ministries. We also promote the praying of the rosary, and we have a special program regarding the rosary and the act of consecration for school children. We have programs for prisons and nursing homes to encourage the residents to pray for priests, the Church, and the world. We also publish various books, cassette tapes, and other materials to help in the ongoing work of spiritual renewal.

The mission of the Shepherds of Christ Movement is closely connected to Our Lady of Fatima's mission. We hope to play a major role in helping to bring fulfillment of the Peace Plan of Our Lady of Fatima. This plan includes:

  1. Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary -- until a sufficient number of people make and live the consecration, we will not have peace in the world.
  2. Praying the rosary.
  3. Observing the First Saturday Devotion.
  4. Making reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

In helping to bring the Fatima message to completion, the Shepherds of Christ Movement is helping to bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart. This is a great privilege and a great responsibility! We ask for your prayers and help in other ways also. May God bless you abundantly!


LEVELS OF COMMITMENT

There are seven levels of commitment in the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

  1. There are Associates who gather and pray at least once monthly as a group and also help with donations to support the Shepherds of Christ priestly newsletter. They can be tremendously involved. They give as they feel they are able.
  2. Apostles are members who have restricted their apostolic activity to the Shepherds of Christ. They literally act as a body of lay people who have given their lives in their present living situation to do all that they can to bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart.
  3. Prayer Apostles are often shut-ins, some are able to go to church and pray. They spend much of their lives praying for the Movement.
  4. Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus are those who spend at least two separate hours weekly before the Blessed Sacrament praying for the following:
  1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
  2. For the Pope.
  3. For all bishops of the world.
  4. For all priests.
  5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
  6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this Movement to the world.
  7. For all members of the Catholic Church.
  8. For all members of the human family.
  9. For all souls in purgatory.
  1. Handmaids of the Good Shepherd are young and older women who have given their lives in community primarily to pray for the Shepherds of Christ Movement and intentions and to be special spouses of Jesus. Some have more duties than others. All have the primary duty of prayer and the desire to be a special spouse of our Lord. One of the functions of the handmaids is the involvement in praying for and helping to circulate the priestly newsletter. The handmaids are not members of a religious order.
  2. Servants of the Good Shepherd are men who live in community with a lifestyle and purpose similar to that of the handmaids. The servants are not members of a religious order.
  3. We wish to form a special congregation of priests who will realize their great oneness with Christ. They will be consecrated deeply to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and support the Shepherds of Christ Movement as holy priests.

Whatever one's level of commitment in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, all share in promoting the overall goal of the Movement. This goal is to help in the spiritual renewal of the Church and the world. All varied ministries of the Movement are directed toward this purpose. The spirituality which the Shepherds of Christ Movement presents to its members and to those outside the Movement through its various ministries is very basic. This spirituality is explicitly Trinitarian and Christocentric. Our spirituality helps others, especially priests, to develop a very deep union with Jesus, this Jesus Who leads us to the Father in the Holy Spirit with Mary at our side. Our spirituality is deeply Eucharistic. We stress very much participation in the Mass and prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. We also emphasize the extremely important role of prayer in the spiritual life. Devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, especially consecration to Their Hearts, is also a most important and central element. We are very much interested in helping to bring the Fatima message to completion, a message which has consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary at its very core.

Founder

The founder is a native of Cincinnati, Ohio. A graduate of St. Xavier High School and Xavier University, both in Cincinnati, he was ordained a priest in 1962 and received his doctorate in theology from Catholic University of America four years later. He has been a professor of theology at Xavier University in Cincinnati for over 30 years. He has authored 17 books in the area of Catholic spirituality. His two latest books are the priestly newsletter books, which include the newsletters from almost six years. He is devoted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

NOUS DÉSIRONS ÊTRE DES INTERCESSEURS POUR UNIR ENSEMBLE LES PERSONNES DU MONDE ENTIER DANS LA PRIÈRE POUR LES PRÊTRES, ÉGLISE ET LE MONDE.

Nous avons décrit, plus haut, le ministère principal de l’Association, qui consiste en la diffusion du Bulletin de spiritualité pour les prêtres, Pasteurs du Christ. Le deuxième plus important ministère, ce sont les chapitres de prières dont les membres sont invités à prier pour les besoins des prêtres et aussi d’autres personnes. D’autres ministères consistent en la promotion aussi vaste que possible de l’acte de consécration aux Coeurs de Jésus et de Marie. Cette promotion imprègne tous nos ministères. Nous faisons également la promotion de la récitation du chapelet. Nous avons un programme spécial pour les enfants des écoles, se rapportant au chapelet et à l’acte de consécration. Nous avons aussi des programmes pour les prisons et les foyers de soins; nous encourageons les résidents à prier pour les prêtres, l’Église et le monde. Nous avons aussi la publication de livres, de cassettes, et d’autre matériel qui visent à encourager le travail du renouveau spirituel.

La mission de l’Association Pasteurs du Christ est étroitement liée à celle de Notre Dame de Fatima. Nous espérons exercer un plus grand rôle dans la réalisation du plan de paix de Notre Dame de Fatima. Ce plan comprend:

  1. La consécration aux Coeurs de Jésus et de Marie, jusqu’à ce qu’un nombre suffisant de personnes vivent selon la dite consécration, nous ne connaîtrons pas de paix dans le monde.
  2. Réciter le chapelet.
  3. Pratiquer la dévotion des premiers samedis.
  4. Faire réparation aux Coeurs de Jésus et de Marie.

En travaillant à la réalisation du message de Fatima, l’Association Pasteurs du Christ contribue à instaurer le règne du Coeur Sacré de Jésus et le triomphe du Coeur Immaculé de Marie. C’est là un privilège exceptionnel et une grande responsabilité. Nous comptons sur vos prières, et sur votre aide de diverses façons. Que Dieu vous accorde ses grâces en abondance!


DIVERS NIVEAUX D'ENGAGEMENT

Il y a sept niveaux de participation possibles aux activités de l’Association Pasteurs du Christ.

  1. Il y a les Associé(e)s qui se réunissent une fois par mois pour prier ensemble. Ils contribuent financièrement, chacun selon ses moyens, à l’impression et la diffusion du Bulletin des Pasteurs du Christ pour les prêtres. Ils sont d’une aide remarquable.

  2. Les Apôtres sont un groupe de laïques qui consacrent toutes leurs activités apostoliques à l’oeuvre des Pasteurs du Christ. Ils consacrent leur vie présente à faire tout en leur possible pour aider à implanter le règne du Sacré Coeur de Jésus et le triomphe du Coeur Immaculé de Marie.

  3. Les Apôtres de la prière sont très souvent des personnes enfermées à la maison, mais dont certaines peuvent se rendre à l’église pour prier. Elles passent la majeure partie de leur temps à prier pour l’Association.

  4. Les Apôtres du Coeur Eucharistique de Jésus sont ceux qui passent au moins une heure, deux fois par semaine, devant le Saint Sacrement, priant aux intentions suivantes:

  1. Pour la diffusion de la dévotion aux Coeurs de Jésus et de Marie qui aboutit au règne du Sacré Coeur et au triomphe du Coeur Immaculé.

  2. Pour le Pape.

  3. Pour tous les évêques du monde.

  4. Pour tous les prêtres.

  5. Pour les religieuses et les religieux.

  6. Pour tous les membres de l’Association Pasteurs du Christ, et pour la promotion de l’Association à travers le monde.

  7. Pour tous les membres de l’Église catholique.

  8. Pour tous les membres de la famille humaine.

  9. Pour toutes les âmes du purgatoire.

  1. Les Servantes du Bon Pasteur sont des femmes, jeunes et moines jeunes, qui consacrent leur vie â prier ensemble pour l’Association Pasteurs du Christ et à ses intentions, et pour être des épouses particulières de Seigneur. Une des fonctions des servantes consistent à prier pour la réussite du Bulletin pour les prêtres, et à aider à sa distribution. Les servantes ne forment pas une communauté religieuse reconnue.

  2. Les Serviteurs du Bon Pasteur sont des hommes qui vivent ensemble selon un mode de vie et des buts semblables à ceux des servantes du Bon Pasteur. Ils ne forment pas, non plus, une communauté religieuse reconnue.

  3. Nous désirons former une "congrégation" spéciale de prêtres qui réaliseront leur grande union au Christ. En tant que prêtres visant à la sainteté, ils seraient consacrés intimement aux Coeurs de Jésus et de Marie, et supporteraient l’Association Pasteurs du Christ.

À quelque niveau d’engagement dans l’Association Pasteurs du Christ que l’on soit, nous partageons tous la responsabilité de promouvoir le principal but de l’Association, qui consiste à favoriser le renouveau spirituel de l’Église et du monde. Les divers ministères de l’Association visent tous ce même but. La spiritualité que l’Association Pasteurs du Christ suggère à ses membres et aux autres personnes qu’elle rejoint par ses divers ministères est fondamentale. Cette spiritualité est explicitement Trinitaire et Christocentrique. Notre spiritualité aide les prêtres et les autres à développer une union intime avec Jésus, ce Jésus qui nous conduit au Père par l’Esprit Saint, et avec Marie qui nous accompagne.

Notre spiritualité est profondément eucharistique. Nous insistons sur la participation à la Messe et à la prière devant le Saint Sacrement. Nous insistons également sur le rôle important de la prière dans toute vie spirituelle. Un autre élément important et central est la dévotion et spécialement la consécration aux Coeurs de Jésus et de Marie. Nous sommes très intéressés à ce que le message de Fatima se réalise, puisqu’il contient au coeur même du message la consécration aux Coeurs de Jésus et de Marie.

Sorrowful MotherMary's Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary speaks: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light.

Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.
