R. Dear Jesus,

I spread the Blood of Jesus on all of us and consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

I cast the devil into the fires of hell and ask for a special outpouring of Your grace on ourselves and everyone we

come in contact with, and I pray for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

Dear God in our everyday life many children are unruly for no reason.

We pray for our children that they know stability and they respect others property and act as God wants them to.

R. When children consecrate themselves to Jesus and Mary they act more according to God's will and instead of rebellion and 20 children doing 20 different plans they are united more in the will of God.

This is a tremendous message of Jesus and Mary for the children in schools and in families.

Dear Mother Mary please help us spread this consecration to the children of this land.

We pray Mary that you will be accepted as the spiritual mother of our children.

This book is helpful to parents and children and for school.

R. This book has the Imprimatur.

Dear Mary help our children.

Please help us with the rosary circulation and consecration cards in schools.

Jesus we love our children.

There is so much argumentation and bad behavior for children to learn to deal with.

Dear God we pray for our children.

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary: 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.

end of Mary's Message

Mary: You need to focus on building the Kingdom of God.

Do not give into satan who wants to stop you.

Children today need the meditations,

School Rosary Program,

Rosary Aves more than when I appeared before.

Do not ignore me

Do not ignore Jesus.

Your children need this!!!!

    "to do something or to be
    something for which no one
    else is created"

Cardinal Newman –

    Every one has a purpose –
    We were created with a purpose –

From the Priestly Newsletter

Cardinal Newman said

                    "... everyone who breathes, high and low,
                    educated and ignorant, young and old, man and woman,
                    has a mission, has a work. We are not sent
                    into this world for nothing; we are not born at
                    random. . . God sees every one of us;
                    He creates every soul, He lodges it in
                    a body, one by one, for a purpose. He needs,
                    He deigns to need, every one of us.
                    He has an end for each of us... we are
                    placed in our different ranks and stations, not to
                    get what we can out of them for ourselves, but to
                    labor in them for Him, as He rejoiced to do His work,
                    we must rejoice in ours also."
                                    (Discourses addressed to mixed congregations)

R. We are to pray to do our vocation
to give God the greatest glory –

    Christ has called Servants and
Handmaids of the Good Shepherd to
form an order – to help renew
the Church and the world –

    Look at St. Ignatius who
started the Jesuits – all these years
later – how many Jesuits in the world –

    Look at St. Francis and the
Franciscans – all those years
ago and how the Franciscans
help the Church now

    St. Benedict, St. Dominic,
    Carmelites etc.

R. What we do should be because of
God's will – God's call and
we do it for the glory of God.

Today's Readings

Romans 8: 18-25

In my estimation, all that we suffer in the present time is nothing in comparison with the glory which is destined to be disclosed for us, for the whole creation is waiting with eagerness for the children of God to be revealed. It was not for its own purposes that creation had frustration imposed on it, but for the purposes of him who imposed it—with the intention that the whole creation itself might be freed from its slavery to corruption and brought into the same glorious freedom as the children of God. We are well aware that the whole creation, until this time, has been groaning in labour pains. And not only that: we too, who have the first–fruits of the Spirit, even we are groaning inside ourselves, waiting with eagerness for our bodies to be set free. In hope, we already have salvation; in hope, not visibly present, or we should not be hoping—nobody goes on hoping for something which is already visible. But having this hope for what we cannot yet see, we are able to wait for it with persevering confidence.



Psalm 126: 1-6

Song of the returning exiles

When Yahweh brought back Zion's captives
   we lived in a dream;
then our mouths filled with laughter,
   and our lips with song.

Then the nations kept saying, 'What great deeds
   Yahweh has done for them!'
Yes, Yahweh did great deeds for us,
   and we were overjoyed.

Bring back, Yahweh, our people from captivity
   like torrents in the Negeb!
Those who sow in tears
   sing as they reap.

He went off, went off weeping,
   carrying the seed.
He comes back, comes back singing,
   bringing in his sheaves.



Luke 13: 18-21

He went on to say, ‘What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it with? It is like a mustard seed which a man took and threw into his garden: it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air sheltered in its branches.’

Again he said, ‘What shall I compare the kingdom of God with? It is like the yeast a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour till it was leavened all through.’

R. Mary Mother of the Eucharist

Psalm 83: 4-5

they say, 'Come, let us annihilate them as a nation,
the name of Israel shall be remembered no more!'

They conspire with a single mind,
they conclude an alliance against you,

R. Unity

God is 3 Persons in One God –
Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    ... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. end of excerpt

R. Unity

Unity means there is harmony –

I can see a single movie on
television and see all that had
to work together to make that
movie –

Unity is the vision of God –

God gives us the mystery –
    the pascal mystery of death/resurrection.

Jesus showed us He took our sins
    to the cross –

Jesus died for our sins –

There are 7 capital sins –

pride, greed, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth

If you see all the sin in the world
    you know pride is a root
    of these sins –

A person loves their attachment
    and puts it first before God –

Pride is seeking dominance for
    dominance sake –

In the Garden we see the INDEPENDENCE
    of Eve –

Eve wanted INDEPENDENCE

Satan tempted her

Satan lured her with his plan
And Eve thought she was
    equal to God –

The thing about not really working
to change in the spiritual life –

If a man decides he should have
    the glory, he should be first,
    he doesn't have to change –
    he can be INDEPENDENT –
    he can fix others and never
    look at himself

He develops a plan how to handle
    things and if he doesn't
    work with anyone else
    he can hide his dysfunction
    and never change –

In the spiritual life we don't
    stand still –

    God shows us the Pascal
mystery –

    where at the top is God's Plan –
    and we are not INDEPENDENT
    of God

Moses went up the mountain to God –

We go to the altar of God and we
    receive Jesus – so we can
    put on Christ

We can think of ascending the
    table of the Lord –

God is above –

We are below –

We are imperfect and we have
    so many years to try to
    be likened more and more
    to God –

Except for a hermit – who gives his
    life in prayer for God's plan,
    praying for the world –

God intends us to intimately
    work with others to
    become more perfected in
    His ways –

    We saw a movie of a man who went
out on the ocean, by himself in
a boat – he had an awful time –

    God intends us to forgive and
to work His Plan. God is
the one with the Plan –

    We are to be working on
ourselves – to live with others
and work through problems,
loving and – there is struggles,
problems in life –

    But we can work through
them in love –

    A person that has been pressed
back by others that have made
them feel they lost their power –
can spend their whole life
not letting anyone really work
right around them –

    They can be threatened by
loss of power and always
with certain individuals
they use to keep their power
over them to make up for their
unhealed wounds – this is
dysfunction –
played out –
they want to be on top - because
they are insecure inside and
need to be healed –

Others may seek INDEPENDENCE
because they never learned to
trust anyone –
So they decide to always be on top –

There is a book

    No Trust No Feel No Talk

Something like this –

Communication and solving problems
    in life – is life –
    solving problems in love –
    working with certain others
        God intends us to work
        with and trust –

Spending our life trying to make
    everyone under us –

Trying to prove we are always
    right –
Jesus calls folly –

Jesus knows everything –

He knows our anger

He knows how we run when
    God has called us to a
    job and we run away
    and hold out in anger
    to force something different
    than unity and
    communication –

A leader leads others under
    them and if they call
    themselves a leader –
    they have a responsibility how
    they force others under them
    to follow ways in which
    their actions and behavior
    are not loving, are not kind,
    are not united and
    relationship - forgiveness,
    responsibility, accountability
    are ignored.

God is the Absolute Truth –

We are always to be seeking
    more and more the truth –

Satan is the father of lies –

The word devil - means division.

The devil wants men to be INDEPENDENT
and disobedient under just
authority –

The devil wants men to be
    unloving

The devil wants men to be
    selfish –

None of these ways work toward
    building a Kingdom of
    unity and love under God –

St. Ignatius says –

Excerpt of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, by Louis J. Puhl, S.J. P.60-61

136. THE FOURTH DAY

        A MEDITATION ON TWO STANDARDS

The one of Christ, our supreme leader and lord,
the other of Lucifer, the deadly enemy of our
human nature

PRAYER.   The usual preparatory prayer.

window at a former Jesuit Seminary

137. FIRST PRELUDE.   This is the history. Here it will be that Christ calls and wants all beneath His standard, and Lucifer, on the other hand, wants all under his.

138. SECOND PRELUDE.   This is a mental representation of the place. It will be here to see a great plain, comprising the whole region about Jerusalem, where the sovereign Commander-in-Chief of all the good is Christ our Lord; and another plain about the region of Babylon, where the chief of the enemy is Lucifer.

139. THIRD PRELUDE.   This is to ask for what I desire. Here it will be to ask for a knowledge of the deceits of the rebel chief and help to guard myself against them; and also to ask for a knowledge of the true life exemplified in the sovereign and true Commander, and the grace to imitate Him.


FIRST PART

THE STANDARD OF SATAN

140. FIRST POINT.   Imagine you see the chief of all the enemy in the vast plain about Babylon, seated on a great throne of fire and smoke, his appearance inspiring horror and terror.

141. SECOND POINT.   Consider how he summons innumerable demons, and scatters them, some to one city and some to another, throughout the whole world, so that no province, no place, no state of life, no individual is overlooked.

142. THIRD POINT.   Consider the address he makes to them, how he goads them on to lay snares for men and bind them with chains. First they are to tempt them to covet riches (as Satan himself is accustomed to do in most cases) that they may the more easily attain the empty honors of this world, and then come to overweening pride.

   The first step, then, will be riches, the second honor, the third pride. From these three steps the evil one leads to all other vices.


SECOND PART

THE STANDARD OF CHRIST

143.   In a similar way, we are to picture to ourselves the sovereign and true Commander, Christ our Lord.

144. FIRST POINT.   Consider Christ our Lord, standing in a lowly place in a great plain about the region of Jerusalem, His appearance beautiful and attractive.

145. SECOND POINT.   Consider how the Lord of all the world chooses so many persons, apostles, disciples, etc., and sends them throughout the whole world to spread His sacred doctrine among all men, no matter what their state or condition.

146. THIRD POINT.   . . .


end of excerpt

Jesus: What you sow – so shall you
    reap. Man who seeks INDEPENDENCE
    under God is working in the
    wrong direction.
    I have shown you how I, the
    Son of God, came and chose
    12 men and worked with
    these men – to teach you
    and heal you –

I am love –

I came to bring the world more and
    more in My Image and Likeness –
    The individual Christian, the
    Church and the world are to
    be more and more in My image and
    likeness –

I give the Shepherds of Christ Movement,
    with My Plan – to renew the
    Church and the world and to pray
    for the priests –

This is My Movement – My Father
    has taught you His Plan for
    renewal of the Church and the world –

The Plan and the writings I have given
    are centered in unity and love
    to lead men to eternal salvation –
    You are here to grow in faith, hope
    and love in the plan of My Father
    and your Father –

Are you growing in the Plan of the Father
    to help the Church and the
    world to grow in My Christic
    image –

Is your heart a heart likened to
    Mine? I died for all men –

Division in your heart with those
    I have called you to work with,
    work under is very displeasing
    to the Heavenly Father.
    Why are you INDEPENDENT of God
        and call yourself holy?

    You can look back and see the
        same patterned behavior how
        you hold out to punish
        and force your power
        on those over you who
        are just authority under
        God –

Living your life forcing division
    is not God's plan, but satan's –
    I have called for all men to die
    to their imperfections and to
    live with a heart likened to Mine –

That is what consecration means –

All My songs are prayers for
    purity and love and living
    the life of Consecration –

Given 21 years ago – My Plan
    is very clear –

Do you really live the life of
    doing God's will –

When you do nothing and hold out –
When you are called to do something for God --
    and don't do it
    you are acting against the
    will of God –
    don't fool yourself –
    the more you grow in the
    deadly sins - the better you
    are at these bad habits –

I gave this Movement to spread
    the Consecration to My Heart
    and Mary's Heart –

My Heart is meek and tender and
    I showed you I obeyed My Father's
    will to My death on the cross –

Are you even prudent how you
    handle things as a leader
    for Christ –

In the uncertainties of life – the man
    of prudence is in constant
    prayer – serving God and never
    wanting to offend Him with
    the slightest sin –
    His life isn't centered in
        arguments to prove he
        is right and others wrong,
    for he knows himself, his
        knowledge of his need to change
        his bad behaviors is well in
        his heart as he cooperates
        with the gift of knowledge
        from the Holy Spirit –

He seeks to grow so his actions
    are actions serving the
    honor and glory of God –

You are here to know, love and
    serve God.

You are to have a well informed
    conscience of what is
    right and wrong to make
    decisions based on right reason –
    the man of faith sees through the
        eyes of God and does the
        Father's will –

    he seeks justice – that is to give
        honor and glory to God in
        all his actions for that
        is his due –

    not to base his actions on
        his own pride and wounds
        and getting even –

Seek to live a virtuous
    life
