THE MASS

R. The Mass is a great act of love. The sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present. In the Mass, Jesus gives Himself completely to us and we give ourselves completely to Him.

May the sacrament of His love draw us closer in love with one another. It is in the reception of the Eucharist that we unite so deeply in Him and in His love. So, too, I unite with every person. Every difficulty I have with others seems so minute, for I can unite with them in Him.

Each person in my life, I love so much more dearly because I have united in deepest union with my God. Each member of my family, of my life, that I unite with socially, becomes so dear and close to me in Him. He has united in deepest union with my heart. Now I must go forth and carry this love to all those I interact with.

I feel so sad for my sins and the sins of the world. I see how often I fail, all through the day. I beg Him for forgiveness and mercy for myself and for the sinful world. I want to help make reparation to His adorable Heart for the sins of man.

I pray, in this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, that the petitions in my heart ascend upward to the Father, united in this Holy Sacrifice, in the Holy Spirit, with Mary, the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory. I pray with all my heart for mercy, mercy for the sins of ungrateful men.

The Mass is so beautiful. We unite in the mystery of His love. We ask forgiveness for our sinful ways. We offend Him in thought, word, and deed, what we should have done and failed to do. I beg the heavenly Father for forgiveness and remission of these sins. We beg mercy for us and our sins.

We are fed by His beautiful Word. We are touched by this Living Word of God. We ask the Father to give us what we need, and we unite with all present in this Sacrifice, in these prayers. In one heart, we lift our hearts to the Father and pray for our needs.

Let us share in the Divinity of Christ Who humbled Himself to share in our humanity.

Wash away our iniquities. We offer ourselves with the bread and wine that will soon be the Body and Blood of Christ. May the Lord accept this sacrifice for the praise and glory of His name for our good and for the good of His whole Church.

Lifted high on the cross, He gave Himself. We join with all the angels and saints.

THE BURNING EMBERS OF HIS HEART

R. He lifts the veil and I realize the immensity of His love. I envision the burning embers of His Heart. I rested so deeply in His Heart. I envision the glow going in and out from darkness to light. He keeps a constant vigilance for us.

I felt the burning flames of His love from darkness to light. They went in and out with a red hue. It was a burning movement of a flame that went in and out.

My heart is so warm. Such an experience! My heart burns with deepest love of Him. I feel my heart now.

I begged Him to let me unite with Him in the highest union at every moment of my life. I long for Him, for Him alone, and this deep union with Him. Song, "In the deepest recesses of His Heart..."

I am so aware of the pulling in my heart like an ache, but not painful. I long for deep, deep, deep union with Him, I long to be so one in Him, so deeply embedded in His Heart.

I realize from reading Mother at My Side, that Mary is our prayer partner. A mother is always there. She is attentive to her child. She feels the child's pain. She is so joined to her child.

Mary is there, she is more than I can imagine, attentive to my every care. She is indeed my Mother. I do not have any fear if I realize her constant love and care, that someone constantly loves and cares for me. I know her constant motherly presence with me.

It is in realizing this constant, motherly love that I am set free from fear and can rest so tenderly in His Heart.

How do I write what I feel? Mary, my Mother, help me to know your constant presence with me and your constant motherly care and love for me! I know this is the secret to my resting deeply in His Heart.

It was through Mary that Christ came. He was in Mary's womb. The connection between Them is so deep in the rosary meditations. It is in meditating on Their lives that I see this deep union between Their two Hearts. It is in Mary that I will feel secure and know His love.

All these years I've missed my earthly mother who died when I was five years old. Now I know I have my heavenly Mother forever with me, leading me in deepest union with her Son! Her role as my spiritual Mother is to help me to unite more and more deeply in Him.

Before the Tabernacle

Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

R. Put yourself in the presence of Almighty God. Jesus is truly here, in His Divinity and humanity, no less present than the day He walked this earth and He is longing and thirsting and waiting for us to open our hearts and to join ever closer to His Heart in such oneness. He longs and thirsts for our love. He wants us to come to Him with hearts that are burning and in love with Him. Think of this: think of Jesus hanging on the cross, His head crowned. His arms hanging from the nails covered with blood. This is love: that He gave Himself on the cross and that He gives Himself to us this day and remains with us here in this room, the same Jesus that we know in the Scriptures, the same Jesus that walked the earth is here in this room!

1. R. Let us feel the presence of the Almighty God in this room and within our hearts for when we are baptized and in the state of grace the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us. Let us feel this presence and open our hearts wide to feel the graces that He is giving to us as we are present before the tabernacle.

2. R. My dear Jesus, how tenderly I love you, to give me these great gifts! Let us put ourselves in the room with Mary at the Annunciation. The angel appeared to Mary. Mary was a young virgin. Mary loved the Father so dearly and wanted only to please her beloved Father. And, the angel came to Mary and Mary said "yes" to the angel to be the Mother of God.

3. Luke 1: 35 The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God.

4. R. This day, October 13th, is a very, very special day for the Blessed Mother appeared at Fatima and gave to us such promises on the 13th. Mary is our Mother at our side, our spiritual Mother with us at every moment. I think of how many times we go through the day and we feel so alone sometimes and then we focus on our Mother, so loving. As she walked beside Christ all through His life, she walks with us in this valley of tears and in our joy she is constantly there.

    Feel her with us this evening and in this rosary and be more aware of her motherly presence within us and that she is guarding us and protecting us with her mantle. Let us surrender at this moment to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We see the statue of Jesus and Mary. Jesus wants these images in our homes and Churches and schools. We see Them in the pictures, with Their hands beside Their Hearts, the Hearts of love. It is not a lip service love that Jesus and Mary speak about but a love that comes from our heart. Let us lift our hearts in deep love to the Almighty God. God in all of His goodness, created us in His image and likeness and loves us with such love.

5. R. How tenderly we are loved?

6. R. Our starved souls stalk the barren desert for something that will fill us when God is truly present this moment in the Eucharist. Jesus is longing and waiting to be so close to us. We look everywhere and nothing fills the craving within. We are left empty. Only God will fill our starved soul with His love and with His life.

7. Jesus: My dear ones, how tenderly I love you. I am present with you at this moment. I want to tell you of My tender love. Listen to this message. Open your heart. Let go of all the walls that keep you from deeper union with Me. Let go at this moment and let Me touch your heart and your soul. Let Me touch you interiorly that you will unite deeper and deeper in love with Me. I come into this world a little baby in the womb of My Mother. I came to you that I may give you a sharing in My life and I give you life My love.

8. R. The Father chose the Virgin Mary from all women to be the Mother of His Son Jesus. Who are we that God so loved this world that He sent His only begotten Son into the world, incarnate, in the womb of the Virgin Mary! We are so loved by the Almighty God that we feel such emptiness in our hearts and I hear Jesus call out, endlessly, to me, "Tell them, Rita", He says, "tell them how I am waiting and longing for them, how I wait endless hours in the tabernacle for My beloved ones to come and to be so close to Me. Tell them, Rita, tell them, how I love them!"

9. R. Nothing on this earth will fill the starved soul like the love of God. Let our hearts be open, let our hearts be soft and supple. Pray for the grace that we will join closer and closer to the Heart of our beloved Savior who came into this world in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

10. Sing: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria

The Visitation

1. R. Mary made haste to the hill country to be with her cousin, Elizabeth, who had conceived of a child. When she arrived, Elizabeth said, "How is it that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"

2. R. The child in Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy at the sight of Mary and at the presence of Jesus in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

3. R. Should we not jump for joy this day? We are blind and we are dumb. We do not realize that God is present and in our midst. So few of Jesus' beloved souls come to the church to be with Him and He calls out endlessly, "could you not watch one hour with Me? I am waiting, a prisoner in the tabernacle, waiting for you to come."

4. R. Mary and Jesus want us to pray the rosary. Their Hearts are joined in such intimacy. The relationship between Jesus and Mary is so close. As we meditate on Their lives, we see this closeness between the Heart of Jesus and the heart of Mary. His Heart was formed within the womb of the Virgin Mary, through the Holy Spirit. The two Hearts beat within the body of the Virgin Mary. Such intimacy between these two Hearts!

    We hear all through the Mass how Jesus wants us to be one in Him. Who are we that the Almighty God, wants to be one with us. Jesus was carried in the womb of His Mother. We meditate on this for these two mysteries of the rosary.

    The Father chose Mary whereby He sent His Son into this world. It is in Mary that we will unite ever closer to the Heart of Jesus. Mary is our Mother, that walks by our side, always there.

    I think of how sometimes when we struggle and we feel we are alone that our best prayer partner is with us. She is there at every moment. Do we feel her here this moment? Do we know how our Mother loves us, how it is through her, our spiritual Mother and the Holy Spirit, that we will be formed more and more like Jesus?

5. R. Life is not life if it is not rooted in God. God is the source of life. Life flows from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, through the heart of Mary, to us. We are to be living witnesses of God living in us in this world today.

6. R. The child in Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy at the presence of the Almighty God. Should we not leap for joy this moment for God is truly present and in this room? Think of this: the Almighty God is here and we worry about such incidental things and we focus on these things and He cries out! He wants us to know that He is there at every second and at every moment! He knows our hearts far more than we know our hearts. He is the Almighty God. He has all the power and we wander, we roam, and we cry and God is there, attentive to all of our needs!

7. R. Think of Mary carrying the Child Jesus within her womb. If I saw Mary, I would see such radiance for God is with her. Such awe I would feel, that Jesus comes to us in His Divinity and humanity, in the Holy Eucharist, and how do we treat this great gift given from God—that He comes to us in this deep oneness to unite with the Almighty God, who is love! I am filled with love. He gives Himself to us. He is as present within us when we receive Him in the Eucharist as He was in the womb of the Virgin Mary. When we go to Communion and we receive Him, think of Mary carrying Jesus within her womb and think of Him being inside of us. Who are we that God unites with us in such oneness?

8. R. I become one in Him, you become one in Him, and in this oneness, we are united.

9. R. The more we realize our oneness with God, the more we will unite with one another, He calls out, He wants such union with us. This is our goal in life - to be united ever closer to the Almighty God and to live for all eternity united to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Let us keep forever this focus, this goal, before our eyes. That it is in this union, in living in such oneness with Him and doing the Father's will, living in the Father's will, that our peace and our joy lies.

10. Hail Mary

The Birth of Our Lord

R. The pain and the joy in our lives, living out the life, death and resurrection in our lives. We live the Paschal mystery. We meditate on Mary as she traveled to Bethlehem with the child Jesus in her womb. Mary arrived at Bethlehem. There was not room for Jesus to be born in the Inn.

1. R. Jesus came into this world, not a king adorned in gold and silver, but He came into this world, the Son of God, the King of all Kings. He came into this world a little baby, in the town of Bethlehem, born in a cave, surrounded by the beasts of the earth and He is laid in a manger.

2. R. Jesus came into this world. Jesus was rejected by men. Is not this how it is today - that Jesus is rejected this day, that Jesus is alive and He is here with us and He is rejected? The sports events are filled. The music halls are filled. They are so concerned about all the details of all the celebrities and the Son of God is here and with us.

    We read in the Psalm, "let our hearts sing with joy, let us talk about God." Do we talk about God? God is here! He wants us to love Him with our whole heart and our whole soul and our whole being. Do we talk about God to one another? Do we tell each other how we love Him so much? Do we think about Him and know how present He is? This is the message that I am receiving, that He is alive and He calls out "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive and I live in hearts of men." He comes and He shows us His Heart. Jesus and Mary appear with blood in Their eyes. They appear so that we will know that They want us to go to Their Hearts and to love Them with our whole hearts.

    Jesus shows us His Heart but we continue to pray with such shallow prayers. Jesus wants to be so close to us. Jesus wants to outpour His grace to us. We want to be abundantly filled with His life. We want the Word to live in us. Listen to the words of the Mass. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit live in our graced baptized soul, God nourishes this life in the Eucharist. Jesus wants pure hearts burning with love for Him and He wants to love us with this burning love.

    Let us take a moment and realize the great gift that we are given, that in Baptism He gives us a sharing in His Divine Life, and if we remain in the state of grace, He dwells within us in such a special way. Let us take a moment here and focus on the Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit within us. Feel the presence of God and His burning love in our heart.

3. R. Jesus came into this world a little baby. Jesus wants our love. Let us tell Him endlessly all through the day, Jesus, I love You so much. He says how few souls come to His tabernacle and tell Him how they love Him.

4. Hail Mary

5. R. A little baby in the town of Bethlehem. Jesus is born on bare wood. Jesus is rejected by men and He hung on a cross at Calvary, a cross of wood. Jesus came to show us the way. Jesus came and He gave Himself that we would have life. That we would share more and more, deeper and deeper in His Divine Life and He outpours this life abundantly to us, in the Eucharist, especially when we sit in front of the tabernacle. Let us thank the Almighty God for the gift of His life and His love.

6. Song: A Song from Jesus

7. R. Jesus cries out that the bloodshed in the Church will continue until the messages of His love are transmitted in the members. Let us open our hearts wide and let Him pour into our hearts His Life. His grace abundantly in us. We are open, ready for His touch, His life and love in us. We go into this world and in this oneness with Him, He will operate in us and He will minister to the world that is hurting and in pain. The Almighty God came into this world a little baby in the town of Bethlehem. Jesus took on flesh. Let us meditate on this mystery. This is the love that God has for us and how do we return this love to Him?

8. R. What a price Jesus paid that we would be saved!

9. R. There is such intimacy between the Hearts of Jesus and Mary in the first two mysteries of the rosary: the Heart of Jesus beats within the body of Mary. In the third mystery the little Child Jesus receives His life support through her milk. Let us focus more and more on this close relationship between Jesus and Mary for it is in Mary that we will unite closer to Him, realizing her presence and motherly love for us.

    Mary, our dear Mother, help us to feel more and more your working in our lives so that we may be closer and closer to the Heart of your beloved Son, the Heart of deepest love.

10. Hail Mary

The Presentation in the Temple

R. Mary and Joseph came to the temple with the Child Jesus. Simeon prophesied the sufferings of Jesus and Mary to come. He says, "a sword too shall pierce your soul, Mary."

1. R. Simeon says that this child is destined for the rise and fall of many in Israel.

2. R. From that moment on, Mary had a constant aching in her heart. Think of this, think of knowing that your Son would suffer as you looked at Him, a little baby in your arms as you watched Him, as He played, as you took care of Him. From the prophecy of Simeon you constantly had an aching in your heart. Mary had this aching in her heart. Mary pondered this deeply in her heart. Mary's heart ached constantly from the time of Simeon.

3. R. We see the joys and sorrows, they are mixed in the mysteries of these joyful mysteries of the rosary. Look at our life - We realize the sufferings that we receive can help us be closer to Jesus - We identify in His sufferings. Our sufferings each day, the constant struggle, all through the day, but it is in these sufferings that we can grow in deeper life in Him.

4. R. I see such intimacy between the child Jesus and the Virgin Mary. Jesus knew all things. Mary knew from the prophecy of Simeon, of the sufferings to come. I see the pictures: Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the Icons - the look of Jesus and Mary, that intimacy that They shared, that They both knew throughout Their lives of the sufferings to come.

5. R. Mary pondered these things and kept them in her heart. Mary's heart was pierced with a sword. Mary is the Mediatrix of all graces. Christ hung on the cross and His Heart was pierced with a lance and there flowed forth blood and water: water for baptism, and blood for the Eucharist. Mary's heart was invisibly pierced with a sword, Mary is the Mediatrix of all graces. Mary carried Jesus in her womb in the first two mysteries of the rosary. In the third mystery Mary supports the Child Jesus with her milk after Jesus is born. Mary is our spiritual Mother - We dwell in Mary's heart. As we go to her, the Holy Spirit forms us more and more in the image of Jesus. Mary is the Mediatrix of all graces.

    On this, October 13th anniversary of the Sixth Apparition at Fatima, let us open our hearts and let our loving Mother come closer and closer to us for it is in her heart, it is in Mary, that loves us with a deepest love, that we will know more the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

6. Song: I Love You Jesus

7. R. Mary appeared to me. Mary calls us to come to her Son. Mary is Our Lady of the Eucharist. Mary wants us to thank God for these great gifts that we are given. Our beloved Mother is calling out to us this day - to come ever closer to the Heart of her Son. The two Hearts: His Heart was pierced with a lance and her heart was pierced with a sword.

8. R. This rosary is a meditation on the lives of Jesus and Mary. The more we meditate on Their lives, the more Their lives will live within us.

9. R. Think of the heart of Mary invisibly pierced with a sword. Think of her holding the Child Jesus in her arms, looking into His eyes so tenderly and think of her standing beneath the cross. Think of Mary so close to Jesus as He hung, watching Him as He hung to His death on the cross.

10. Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary

Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple

R. When Jesus was 12 years old He was taken up to the temple for the Feast of the Passover and Mary and Joseph went ahead and Jesus was left behind.

1. R. Mary's heart was in such sorrowing that the Child Jesus was lost.

2. R. We see the connection in these mysteries of the rosary, the connection between Their Hearts beating within the same body in these first two mysteries. The Child Jesus, receiving His milk from His Mother. We see her carry the child to the temple and after the prophesy of Simeon, she knew in her heart the sufferings to come and she was separated from the Child Jesus.

    At the Holy Spirit Center in Norwood this mystery of the rosary is across from the crucifixion. When she was separated from the Child Jesus, she knew in her heart the sufferings to come. This separation troubled her heart greatly.

3. R. Mary stood under the cross of Jesus, and Mary saw her Son covered with blood. Jesus' head crowned with thorns, Jesus' arms stretched open, His hands and feet nailed to the cross. Mary suffered with her Son. Mary knew the love that He has for each and every soul this day and she watched Him as He gave His life for each and every precious soul.

4. R. I see our blessed Mother over and over and over again in front of me and she calls out a plea to pray as we have never prayed before for the little lost children of this world for she says many are going to hell for their sins and their willfulness. It is so hard to see the blessed Mother before you and to hear her call out and to tell of the souls that will be lost in hell!

5. R. Mary stood beneath the cross of Jesus and Mary saw Him before her eyes. Mary saw Him die. Mary knew in her heart that her little, lost children would go to hell, despite His suffering. Mary is appearing today and calling out, out an urgent plea to pray with our whole hearts, to join this movement to pray for the world, to pray for the priests and religious — those that have been chosen by God to lead the stray sheep back to God! The priests and the Sisters, will lead the souls to Him. We unite in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to pray for the priests and religious the world over. (Mary is so illuminated and alive in the statue.) One priest, with the burning love of Jesus within his heart can lead so many souls to the burning Heart of Jesus. It is in this Movement that we pray for our beloved priests and Sisters and for the Church. (What I am seeing is awesome - the tabernacle is like a flame.) This Movement is Jesus' Movement to lead hearts to the burning Heart of Jesus. (She is so alive and beautiful in the statue.)

Mary: I call out to you my children, this day, to come to the Heart of my Son, Jesus, to unite in deepest union with Him. It is in your union that your prayers will become more and more powerful. We are with you in a special way. You do not know the great gifts that you are being given. Open your hearts and you will be touched deeply with the grace of God. My little children, this day, are suffering and in pain and they do not know my Son Jesus. It is through you that they will know His love. It is through your prayers. Let Jesus live in your hearts. As you are one in your hearts so shall you be in this world. Unite even closer to my Son. Jesus wants to operate in this world through you. The Kingdom of God is at hand. (She is just so beautiful - sing Our Lady of Fatima for peace and unity.)

R. Mary has asked us to pray with all of our hearts, to lift our hearts high, to the Father in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Holy Spirit through her powerful intercession all through the day, to be united with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world and to pray for all the children in the world and the souls in purgatory. Mary says many souls will go to hell.

6. Hail Mary
7. Hail Mary
8. Hail Mary
9. Hail Mary

10. Jesus: Let your hearts be soft and supple. The graces I am pouring into your hearts fill you deeply. My little ones unite more and more to the Almighty God.

Song: Hail Holy Queen

Before the Tabernacle

Sorrowful Mysteries

The Agony in the Garden

R. Let us focus on our interior life. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within our graced baptized soul. Let us feel the presence of God. Blot everything out around you and go into the interior of the Heart of Jesus. Through the wounds, we are inside of Jesus’ Heart. He is love. We are warmed and saturated by His love. There is nothing to fear, for He is the Almighty God and we are dwelling in His Heart. Let us dwell in the Heart of Jesus. Block out all of the distractions, all of the worries, all of the cares of this world, all of the blockages that keep us from becoming closer to Him and let Him fill us with His abundant love so that, in this rosary, we will unite deeper and deeper in the Heart of Jesus, filled with burning love.

l. Jesus: My dear ones, Satan is pressing hard on this earth. You are My apostles that I have called into this room this afternoon. My tender ones, My beloved ones, harken to My words here for I am speaking to you. Listen carefully. You must let go and surrender. Let the Father be so close to you. Feel His love in your heart. The more you unite to Me, the deeper your love with your beloved Father.

2. R. Jesus always complied with the Will of the Father. As we meditate on his life, we will see that all through His life He did the Father’s Will, always - always did the Father’s Will. Help us, dear God, to live in the Father’s Will. That our whole lives are focused and pleasing our beloved Father, for it is in living according to His Will that our peace and joy lie.

3. R. Many men this day in their foolishness have forgotten God and in their willfulness they move aimlessly about their lives pursuing whatever they wish. It is in living according to the Father’s Will that we will have peace and joy. We must surrender and let go. Heavenly Father, lead us closer and closer to You, through the Heart of Your Beloved Son, pierced with a lance on Calvary and in this rosary help us to unite with deepest union with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Jesus came into the world in Mary's womb. It is in Mary that we will unite deeper and deeper in the Heart of Jesus Christ, her Son.

4. Song: O burning heart...

R. Agony of agonies. The agony that Jesus suffered in the garden to His Most Sacred Heart for the indifference, the neglect, for the hatefulness, the willfulness, the sinfulness of man this day. God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son into this world, that we could join in deeper love with Him and look how men have returned this love to God! Look at the creatures on the earth this day and the ingratitude that they give to the Almighty God for all the gifts that are given to them! In the garden Jesus suffered so for this ingratitude and indifference. His Heart of burning love flowing over with such deep love for each of His precious souls and look how men have treated our beloved God!

5. “O burning heart, O love divine, how sweet you are to me.“

R. This is the way that God wants us to love Him, that we sing this song all through the day, that our hearts are on fire for love of Him. He comes and He shares with us His Divine Life. Who are we that we share in His Life in baptism. Look at the way He is treated by men this day as they foolishly pursue such idle pursuits, looking for something to feed the starved soul. On the face of this earth only the love of God will feed the starved soul. How foolish we are in our pursuit, when the Almighty God is present, when He lives in our hearts and is truly present in the Eucharist, buckled over with pain and agony in His Heart - pain that we do not even comprehend, for He saw before Him His entire Passion. All of His sufferings He saw before Him, all the sins of all men, the murder of all the innocent babies in the womb of their mothers, and the sinfulness in this world this day. He is love. He gives us His love. He came that we would be saved, that we love God and love one another. Love is giving. How He suffered in the garden for our sins!

6. R. O burning heart, O love divine. Love divine — what we seek on this earth, and God gives to us His Divine love. His Divine Life. And we treat Him so indifferently!

7. R. Do I know what it is to love someone so deeply and to be rejected? To give and give and give and to love them and be treated with such coldness, or hatred. Jesus came to this earth a little baby in the town of Bethlehem. He came that we would have life, that we would know His love and look how He is treated this day. He is rejected and scorned. He is mocked. Look at the way the people talk about the Virgin Mary! Such great gifts given to man, returned to God with such ingratitude that He sweat blood. His blood fell to the ground. How much agony is that, that the Son of God sweat blood for the love in His Heart for men and the way He is treated by those He loved!

8. “O Burning Heart, love divine. Love divine, how sweet you are to me. I see the Host, I know you’re here to love and care for me.”

R. He cries from the tabernacle: “Can you not wait one hour with Me? Can you not come and help make reparation to My Sacred Heart for all these indifferences and ingratitude of men?” Here is God and He is given such ingratitude by His creatures and He remains truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the tabernacle, no less present than the day He walked the earth. He waits and He outpours His abundant life when we come and we visit with Him. He waits for endless hours in the tabernacle and so few come, so few come to Him and pour out their heart and say, “Jesus, I love you, I love you, I love you.” This is what He wants. He longs and thirsts and waits for our love. The devil has created such confusion in this world in our busy lives that we go about every day without time for the Almighty God. Our every breath and heart beat depends on God. Why are we so blind that we cannot see that in one moment He can take our breath from us! Our life depends on Him, yet we treat Him with such indifference. Many so scornfully mock Him and spit on Him. Look how He is treated this day and He is calling out over and over and over again and allowing me to experience some of the sufferings of His Heart. His Heart buckled over in deepest pains in the garden for love of us and He is rejected, rejected by those He gave His life for.

9. Hail Mary
10. Hail Mary

Scourging At The Pillar

R. Think of Jesus. They tied Him to the pillar. His once unblemished body was beaten and torn by His attackers. He is love. This is how He was treated by those he loved. Think of how it is to be treated scornfully by those we love, but think of how it would be to have your flesh torn and to be beaten by those you loved so dearly!

l. R. They tore His flesh. I see before me the scourged body of Jesus, covered with such wounds, covered with blood. His beautiful eyes, the eyes of Divine Love, look at me and He says to me, “this is the love that I have for you, that I suffered so, but My greatest agonies were not the agonies that I experienced to My body but those that I suffered to My Heart.” In your mind picture the body of Jesus covered with deep wounds, deep, deep wounds. His skin torn from His body. Stand beside Him as you watch them continually beat the Son of God who is already raw from their scourging.

2. R. Why do I not see the great love that you have for me, my God? My life an endless search of seeking love and approval and you love me so dearly, so tenderly. I see before me the scourged body of Jesus. This is the love that He has for us. I do not comprehend and I do not take it to my heart and say, Jesus loves me this much.

3. R. Jesus came into this world a little baby, so lovable. He wants to be loved by us and He wants us to know His love. A capacity to love depends on realizing the love of the Almighty God for us. The more we realize His love for us, the more we will respond with love for Him and for each other. Give us the grace to know you more, our beloved God. How can we love you if we do not know you? We go aimlessly about our lives, so busy for such incidental things, yet our hearts are starving for the love of God, but we do not have time to spend with Him, even a few moments after Communion when He unites with us in such union and imprints on us such knowledge of Himself, but we are busy. How can we be busy when the Almighty God comes and gives Himself to us? How can we love God when we do not know God? How can we know God when we do not have the time to spend with God, to read the Scriptures? How can we know God when our minds are wondering through the Mass - the beautiful Sacrifice of the Mass. Help us God, give us the grace to know and love you more, to not be distracted by Satan and to focus on you. Let us go into the interior of our heart and feel the presence of the Almighty God. God loves us so much. Jesus is truly present here in the Eucharist.

4. R. Let our hearts be bathed with His love. Let us be saturated, deeper and deeper with His life. Let us beg: Dear Father, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, outpour to us your abundant life, your grace, that we will grow deeper and deeper in our graced life in You for to know You is to want so much more!

5. R. I see the scourged Body of Jesus. The body that was scourged for me, the body that was scourged for you, the body that was scourged for each and every soul. How can I say I love God and not love my brother when He was scourged at the pillar for my beloved brother? Give us the grace to know more and more Your love to respond more and more in love of others.

6. Song: O burning Heart...

7. R. Let our hearts burn with the love of God. Let us put aside all of the barriers that keep us from deeper union with Him. Let us trust Him. The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Let us see Him as He stood at the pillar, bound and tied, the Almighty God, that He comes on this earth and He shed His blood for love of us.

8. R. Dear Holy Spirit, move within us. Give us your gifts that we may partake deeper and deeper in Your Divine love and be filled more and more with Your grace.

9. Jesus: Tenderly I love you. I come to you with this tender love. My Heart is on fire and I am rejected and ignored. My beloved ones, you are My apostles that I am calling this day. It is through you that I will minister to this world that is sick and in pain. I call and call and call and My words fall on deaf ears. Who listens? Will you listen to this call? Will you come to Me and join ever closer to My Heart?

l0. Hail Mary

The Crowning With Thorns

R. Let us find such comfort in meditating on the wounds of Jesus. The precious head of our Savior, the Son of God, that was crowned, not with a crown of jewels but with a crown of thorns, pounded deeply into His head and the blood ran down His face, into His eyes and into His ears, His head, covered with blood.

l. R. Let us see the holy head of Jesus, crowned with thorns and covered with blood.

Jesus: Satan is pressing down on this earth. You are receiving so much mental torment which I am allowing so that you may join ever closer to My Heart. Accept your sufferings. Accept the crosses that I am giving to you this day. It is in the cross that you will have deeper and deeper life in Me. I am Jesus and I call out to you, My beloved ones. Come close to Me. Accept the sufferings with great joy for it is in these sufferings that I will unite deeper and deeper to you. Do you feel My presence in these sufferings? Do you feel Me in your life? Do you feel deeper and deeper in your darkest night? Look at your sufferings and gifts given from Me that you will grow deeper and deeper in My life. Surrender, surrender to all that you are given. Quit fighting what I have given to you. I am guarding your every step, your every breath and your heartbeat. I am watching you, My dear ones, with the tenderest, gentlest love. You do not hear, you are bolted to this earth. Release yourselves, know that as you breathe, I am attentive to all your needs.

2. R. Holy head of Jesus, crowned and pierced with thorns, covered with blood! Why is it that I focus on incidental things when you are so close to me? The head that I see tells me of your immense love for me, that you came to this earth and you gave yourself for love of me!

3. Song: Crown Him with many crowns...

4. Song: O burning heart...

5. R. What do we know of the love of Jesus? If we look at Him, His Body, scourged and covered with wounds, His holy head covered with thorns, will we know more His love is burning love? It is not lip service love. It is not love that is shallow. It is as deep and deeper than the wounds on His Body. The wounds from the nails that went through His hands and His feet. What is the depth of His love? What is the depth of my response to God, for He longs and thirsts for our deep, burning love for Him. Let us pray everyday for the grace to love Him more, to love Him with our whole heart, our whole soul and our whole being.

6. R. What are we looking for in this life? We are so foolish. What is life? Life is not life if it is not rooted in Him. God gives us the baby in a womb. God shares His life with us in baptism. God is the source of love and life but many men, this day, have forgotten God. Many men have made this earth their end and one moment God can take our breath away! Life is not life if it is not rooted in Him.

7. Song: I know your love a little now...

8. R. Jesus sat on His throne, the King of all Kings, the Son of God. He came to this earth in greatest love for His beloved creatures and they stood around Him. Jesus was crowned with thorns as He sat on the throne and they spit on Him and they mocked Him and they poked at Him and He withstood all of this. His greatest sufferings were not the sufferings He experienced to His Heart but for the ingratitude and the hatred of His beloved creatures. He came to this earth to save these creatures He loved so much. He loved with a burning Heart on fire for love of them.

9. R. The creatures on this earth - how they have treated God! Let us beg for mercy for my sins and the sins of my brothers. Let us help make reparation to His adorable Heart, surrounded with a crown of thorns, for the way He is treated by His beloved souls that He loves.

l0. R. I think of how it is when you bleed when you puncture your finger or any part of your body. Jesus was covered with deep, bleeding wounds. His head was covered with blood, impounded with sharp thorns, but these wounds were nothing compared to the wounds in His Heart.

Jesus Carries His Cross

R. Jesus stood and many men condemned Him to death. They shouted out, “Crucify Him, Crucify Him.” The mob! The mob! Jesus, the Almighty God, the Son of God, the God of love - and they cried out in their angry voices, “Crucify Him, Crucify Him”.

l. Jesus: You will be persecuted this day for My sake, My beloved ones, but in this persecution you will know the fire of My love and the burning embers that are burning deeply within your heart. Accept the sufferings that I am allowing you to experience and you will unite with deeper union with Me. Do not curse the cross. Thank the Almighty God for the gifts that you are given. I love you. I love you. I love you with the deepest love. I love you and I come to you. Do you hear this message of My love? I am God and I am calling out to you. Do not turn a deaf ear. Open up your hearts and listen. I want to unite in deepest union with your heart and I am here. I am with you. I am alive. I live in your heart. Will you carry a message of My love to the world in your being? My message will go to this world. I live in your heart, My beloved ones. Make your hearts ever pure and let me dwell there. I want to be King and center of your hearts. Surrender, surrender, surrender to the God who gave His life for you.

2. Song: O burning heart, O love divine...

3. Jesus: I am alive, I am alive. I live in the hearts of men. I am with you this day. Surrender and let go and let me work in your heart. I carried My cross on My back. It dug into My shoulder, deeply and tore the wounds on My shoulder, deeper and deeper, the wounds in My Body. I gave My life for you - will you not come to Me for the love that I want to give to you?

4. R. Jesus' eyes peered into the eyes of His Beloved Mother. Such intimacy between this Son and His Mother, such a relationship between them! This is the relationship that He wants us to have - a binding force of our heart being joined to His Heart, a burning love. We must let go of the walls that are around our heart and realize that God is calling out for us to come and be so close to Him.

5. R. Jesus walked the walk to Calvary. He fell to the ground. I see His chin on the ground. How many walks do we walk when we feel that our chin is scraping the ground? The deep sufferings that we endure, but it is in these sufferings that we are brought to greater life in Him. In our darkest night these are the nights that lead to greater union with Him. Bless the Almighty God for all the gifts that He gives to us, for our joys and for our sufferings. Accept those sufferings that He allows us to experience and endure those sufferings for as long as He allows us to carry this cross.

6. R. Jesus carried the cross. He did not give it up. There was not relief. He carried the cross, covered with wounds and blood, weakened as it became heavier as He walked and He became weaker. Jesus came to show us the way, the truth and the life. Life is not life if it is not rooted in Him. The way is the way of the cross. It is in the cross that we are brought to new life. Our life, a constant dying and rising in Him. Let us expect the struggles that He gives to us this day and beg for the grace to handle it the way He wants us to.

7. R. As Jesus looked into the eyes of His Beloved Mother, His Mother of love, let us realize that she walks by our side, that she is with us at every moment, that we are not alone, that she is mothering us. It is in her heart, through the Holy Spirit, that we become more and more like Him, that she is our spiritual mother to lead us on our journey to eternity. Feel her presence, so close to us. Think of this: she is with us at every second - every second! We are not alone. Let us focus all through the day to realize the presence of the Almighty God within us and to join with our Lady who walks with us on our journey.

8. Song: Our Lady of Fatima

9. R. Jesus fell on His journey three times and our beloved Mother was by His side, always there with Him. Such union between Their Hearts. Let us feel this oneness in our heart with the Almighty God and with our Lady. Let us feel this oneness in our heart here, joined with one another, for as we are one in Him, we are joined in deeper union with each other. We are all created by the Father with a plan - such a plan - that the Father has for us! Each one of us is given such gifts and talents to help in His work. Let us surrender to our beloved Father and live according to His Will for it is there that our peace and our joy lie.

l0. Hail Mary...

Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross

R. Jesus is the Son of God. See Him as they nail His hands and His feet to the cross, as He stood at the pillar bound — this is the Almighty God! At any moment He could have stopped anything that they were doing but He endured the suffering for love of us. Our life paid for with the price of His Blood!

l. R. Jesus' tender and gentle love for us: He spreads his arms and they nail Him to the cross. He hung on the cross for three endless hours. His Body withered, His head crowned with thorns, covered with blood. As we look at the pictures of Jesus hanging on the cross, meditate with our heart, deeply in our heart, on the crucified Body of Jesus. We do not realize the immensity of His love!

2. R. We know only a little of His love. Let us pray more and more for the grace to know more and more His deep burning love for us. (Hail Mary - three times.) We are dependent on Him. Let us surrender and beg for the grace to know Him more. Let us beg for the Spirit to move within us, to know God more. Let us beg for the grace to unite in the Mass, deeper and deeper and deeper, to make each Mass the best Mass that we have ever attended. Let us beg for the grace that the Almighty God outpours to us and that every word in the Mass, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, will mean so much to us. The Sacrament of God’s love. We share in the mystery of His love in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. He comes to us. He gives us Himself. As He gave Himself on the cross, He gives Himself to us this day in the Holy Eucharist.

3. Hail Mary

4. R. How can we be busy when the Almighty God comes and unites with us in such union in the Holy Eucharist and He remains with us for about 20 minutes after communion! We run from the church. How this wounds His aching Heart - that we do not have time to spend with Him!

5. Jesus: My dear ones, come to Me. Be one with me. I give Myself to you.

6. Jesus: Gently and tenderly I love you. I love you, I love you, I love you. Will you come to Me? Become so one in Me and tell Me of your love.

7. R. Jesus gave us His beloved Mother to be by our side, to mother us and to lead us on our journey, to be with Him for ever and ever in heaven, our true home.

8. Song: At the cross, His station keeping...

R. Mary stands by our side endlessly, taking care of us and protecting us. She is the dearest Mother. As she stood beneath the cross and she watched her Son hang to His death, she walks beside us in all of our struggles, constantly taking us closer and closer to the Heart of her Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus' Heart was pierced with a lance; Mary's heart was invisibly pierced with a sword. It is through His Heart that the sacramental life of the Church was born. A light flows through His Heart and we are fed by His Body and Blood. The light flows through His Heart, through the heart of His Mother, into our heart. Let us go to our Mother Mary for she will lead us to the Heart of her Son.

9. R. Mary stood beneath the cross and she held her Son Jesus in her arms as she once held His little baby body when Simeon prophesied the sufferings to come. Mary held His withered, lifeless body under the cross. The Hearts of greatest love. It is in uniting to these two Hearts that we will unite more and more to the one, triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is our goal. This is how we will spend all eternity, in union with our beloved God. Let us go to our Mother, Mary and love the Father more, as Mary loved the Father. Love her Son, Jesus, through Mary's heart. Love the Holy Spirit through the heart of Mary. Ask her to lead us closer and closer to the Almighty God.

l0. Song: I come to you with greatest love...

October 15, 1995

THERE APPEARED IN THE SKY A WOMAN, MARY

Written at 3:00 a.m. in Jackson, Michigan:

R. I was awakened. I thought, "How can I spread His love to others if I do not have a deep love relationship with Him?"

Jesus: I am calling all present to be My apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, I am working through you to help the hurting world. I will give abundant graces to all to be joined deeply in their love with Me. Many are called, few are chosen. You are called, you are chosen, I am giving you great graces. I love you. I want you in union with Me. You will carry My love to others. How can you tell others about My love if you do not love Me deeply. It is in your deep and burning love with Me you will transmit My messages of love.

R. The Gospel is the Living Word of God. The Gospel messages live in us. What is within will come forth from the mouth of a man. Let our hearts be filled with His love that we may declare the Gospel. Let His Word live in us. Let it be alive in our souls, penetrated with His divine presence, that we sing of His love for all.

The interior life can be life or death, light or darkness, a place of peace or a place of fear. It depends on the heart of the person. We must stay rooted in Him, then we remain saturated with the life of God, the divine life of the Trinity.

Mary told us at Fatima what we must do. The more we totally surrender and give our hearts to Jesus and Mary, the more we grow in holiness. Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary is the answer. When we give our hearts to Mary, the Holy Spirit works within her heart to make us more and more like Jesus.

Within the heart of Mary, we receive lights from the Holy Spirit to know God. We are formed, the children of light, in the womb of Mary. Christ the firstborn was formed in the womb of Mary. He is the Light of the World. We are formed in the womb of Mary and she brings us forth her children of light. She protects us against the devil. She crushed his head with her heel and we find shelter in her womb.

This is the message of Fatima: that the heart of Mary should be venerated with the Heart of Jesus. We unite more to God as we become one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. God created us to communicate and share His love with us. The more we become one with Them the more we unite to God and others.

Life flows from His Heart through her heart. She is the Mediatrix of all graces. Under God, all grace flows through her.

God creates creatures in His own image and likeness because of His great love of man. The creatures sin against God. God sends His only begotten Son to make reparation for sin. Jesus is the New Adam. Mary is the New Eve.

"Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars." (Rv. 12:1)

Eve was the physical mother of the human race. It is through Jesus that we relate to the Father. Jesus is our Mediator with the Father. The Father communicates to us through His Son.

Man, today, sins and treats God with such ingratitude and indifference. We are all members of the human race, all brothers in Him, all His creatures. Here is God. He is a Divine Being and He gives to creatures His love, His life, His goodness. Many men turn their backs on God. I want to make some recompense to God for my sins and the sins of my fellow human beings. God is so gravely offended by men.

Jesus gave us His Mother under the cross as our Mother. She is pure, she is immaculate, conceived without sin. When we give our hearts to Mary, we can unite to Jesus in the pure heart of Mary. We are sinners. Of ourselves, we cannot unite in great depth to Him unless we go through Mary's pure and sinless heart.

God has raised Mary to such heights. She is the closest human person to God.

Mary says at Fatima:

"...God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If what I say to you is done, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war will end. But if people do not cease offending God, a worse one will break out during the reign of Pius XI."³¹

Because not enough people responded to Our Lady of Fatima's request for conversion, the tragedy of World War II did occur.

Through many of her messages at Medjugorje, Our Lady is also calling us to conversion. It is emphatic, such as part of her message of January 25, 1988:

"Dear children, today, again I am calling you to complete conversion...I am inviting you, dear children, to convert fully to God..."³² ³³

Mary: You must consecrate yourselves, your homes and businesses to the Sacred Heart and to My Immaculate Heart. Souls are going to hell. Pray, convert, be children of the light

R. We must consecrate ourselves, our homes, and our businesses to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Mary showed the three children of Fatima a vision of hell.

You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

The war [World War I, then raging] is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI.³⁴

We need to pray for souls to be converted. We are among the children of the light.

Oneness is being so united to Him, to be one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, as we partake in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, as we live Their lives in the rosary, as we live the words in the Scriptures, the Living Word of God. There is a oneness in our every breath as our hearts burn for love of Him.

Mary is the Queen of Peace. She wishes to establish peace in the world, and she asks us to help her accomplish this great goal.

She calls us to conversion. "This peace will take place when the human family is at peace with God-when human hearts are united with God, in loving conformity to His will."³⁵

She calls us to conversion by consecrating our hearts to the Sacred Heart and her Immaculate Heart.

The Blessed Mother said to Jacinta:

Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask graces from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her.³⁶

The message of Fatima centers in the act of consecration to the Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Say "yes" to consecration. Say "yes" to her grace. Read Scripture. We are children of the light. Conversion is based on consecration to the two Hearts. Fatima outlined what is needed to save mankind. Medjugorje confirmed it, and gives us the details. To consecrate means "to make holy". Only God can make us holy. Baptism seals us with the holiness of God - in Baptism we share in His divine life - our Christ-life.³⁷

Mary's promises for those who make the five first Saturdays: "...I promise to assist at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for salvation all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, go to Confession and receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the rosary and keep me company for a quarter of an hour while meditating on the mysteries of the rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me."³⁸

God is faithful to His promise. Mary is faithful to her promises. God listens to prayers through Mary.

Adam and Eve sinned against God. God sent His only begotten Son to save men from their sin.

Our Lady is pleading with the human race to return to God (in the 20th Century): "Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars." (Rv. 12:1)

Mary: I am calling you to conversion. I am the Queen of Peace.

R. At Fatima, there occurred the great miracle of the sun. Mary is Our Lady of Light. We are among the children of the light fixed in Him. She is leading us to our final destination, which is heaven. She is the highest human person. She is the human person closest to God. She was given the role as our Mother under the cross. She is Queen of Heaven and Queen of Earth. She is given by her Son the title, 'Queen of Peace'. All graces flow through her Immaculate Heart.

All the power is in God. At Fatima, the sun came down to the people as if it would destroy them. I see the sun, its power is blinding. The sun is the light to this earth. Even if the sun ceases to shine, we will not fear for we know God is almighty and He lives in us when we are in the state of grace.

He gives us the Holy Eucharist. Its power is greater than the sun - it is the Almighty God. Man, in his blindness, ignores the signs given.

The devil tempted Eve, and she yielded. He tricked her. The devil, this day, is tricking men into alienating themselves from God. The devil tells us this day we do not need God.

God is a Supreme Being. He, in His goodness and love, gives us life. He gives us great gifts.

We have a fallen human nature. At times, we give in to the temptations of the evil one.

The Father sent His only begotten Son into this world to make reparation for the sin.

Eve is the physical mother of the human race.

She and Adam sinned. This sin is passed down to us from Adam and Eve.

It is in Baptism we receive a sharing in His divine life. Original sin, passed down from Adam and Eve, is taken away. We still have in part a fallen nature.

Man, this day, is greatly offending God. Mary, our spiritual Mother, the New Eve, is appearing and telling us to amend our life. "Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars." (Rv. 12:1)

She is the Lady of Light. We are among the children of light. If we stay fixed to God and walk with our heavenly Mother, we will help light up this dark world. She is constantly bringing forth her children. If we stay within her spiritual womb or heart, she will protect us. The moon is beneath her feet. The darkness is beneath her. She crushes the head of the serpent. We are her apostles of light that she is sending into the world.

The great miracle at Fatima involved the sun. Jesus comes into this world and gives Himself for sinful men. He is all-powerful. He remains with us in the Holy Eucharist. I can see the sun and see the power and how blinding it is. In the miracle of the sun, the people were permitted to look at the sun and watch it spin for God can filter out the blinding light. He gives Himself to us in the consecrated Host. He has filtered out the blinding lights. If He showed us Himself, we would fall on our face, we could not stand the light, but He comes under the appearance of bread and wine.

At Fatima, the sun then came crashing at the earth and all feared, but it stopped. The Almighty God, the God of love and goodness, in His goodness and love, created man to share His love. His love was complete and perfect in Himself but He wanted to communicate this love to us and created us in His own image and likeness to share His love.

Adam and Eve, in their willfulness and greed, sinned against God. Jesus Christ comes to save men from their sins. He is the sacrifice given to the Father for sin.

It is through His pierced Heart, pierced with a lance, that all life and mercy flows.

The sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present at every Mass. Man, this day, is offending God. God, the Supreme Being, gives to us His goodness and love, and we offend Him with our sins. We treat Him with indifference and neglect!

We are all brothers, all creatures of God, with offenses against God. Mary appears and tells us how offended God is by the sins of man. Mary is the New Eve. She is our spiritual Mother given to us under the cross of Christ.

From the prophesy of Simeon, we know her heart, too, was invisibly pierced by a sword. Life flows from the pierced Heart of our beloved Savior, that died on the cross, and flows through the heart of His beloved Mother, invisibly pierced with a sword. She is the Mediatrix of all graces. The Father chose her to be the way that His Son entered the world. He came in the womb of Mary. He received His life in her womb. It is in Mary, this day, that we receive His life. It is through Mary that we are drawn closer to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

God communicates His love to man through the person, Jesus Christ. It is through His pierced Heart that our life flows. It is through Mary, the Mediatrix of all graces that we receive this life. She appears to tell us to make reparation to her Immaculate Heart.

Mary appears to tell us to help make reparation to her Immaculate Heart and Jesus' Sacred Heart.

Before the tabernacle

Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection

l. R. Let us put ourselves in the presence of the Almighty God and realize that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is present in this room with us in His Divinity and humanity, the same as when Mary carried Him in her womb, the same as when He walked this earth, that He is here and with us this day. Let us feel within our hearts such joy at the presence of the Almighty God.

2. R. Let us lift our hearts to the Almighty God and each one of us put aside the separateness that we feel with one and another and ask God for the grace to unite in one heart, in this place, in this rosary, as we pray together the petitions mentioned and give honor and glory to God and help make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary for the sins of men.

3. R. Let us put aside all of the distractions in our heart, all of the thoughts of all of the problems that we have brought with us and let us focus entirely on the resurrected body of Jesus. Let us see Him, adorned in white, with His glorified wounds, dazzling white, as He comes forth from the tomb on the third day, as He rises victorious.

4. R. Let us have a picture before us of Jesus as He hung on the cross, His arms outstretched, His body covered with blood and His head crowned with thorns, the wounds in His hands and His feet. Next to this picture of the crucified body of Jesus, let us see the body of the risen Lord with His glorified wounds, dazzling in white.

5. R. Death has no power over Jesus. We see Him as He comes forth from the tomb on the third day. Think of the mystery that Jesus died on the cross and He rose to new life on the third day! He died that we would have life and have it abundantly.

6. R. Meditate on the mysteries of the rosary, on the lives of Jesus and Mary. Let us meditate on these lives. We live the life, death and resurrection in our lives, dying and rising in our lives in Him.

7. R. We struggle as we walk our way and we suffer. We look at Jesus as He struggled, as He walked His way through the Passion and then we see Him on the third day as He rose victorious to new life. This is how our life is. He allows us to go through sufferings each day, sometimes there are many sufferings in the day, even enormous sufferings. It is in these sufferings that we are brought to new life in Him. Constantly, we are living this Pascal Mysteries in our lives - death and resurrection. We struggle and sometimes we feel as if we are flat on the ground, but after the struggle and the suffering, we receive such abundant life in Him.

Look back over your life to the darkest moments that you have experienced — the night when you were suffering so badly and it felt like God was so far away, but you stayed so close to Him and at the end of the struggle you felt the new life as it came into your heart. As we knew Him deeper and deeper through that dark night, the light of our life came into our hearts and entered our soul and we see the Pascal Mystery of death and resurrection. He walked the walk on the way to Calvary. He was hung on the cross and on the third day He rose victorious. He came to give us life, to share His life with us. Through His Passion and death, we partake in His life in the Resurrection.

8. Jesus: My dear ones, I am allowing you this day to suffer many trials for the days ahead will be dark and hard. In these struggles that you experience you will know deeper and deeper life in Me. Do not give up the struggles. Accept all of the sufferings that I am giving to you. Accept the sufferings as great gifts that I give to you for it is in your struggles that you will know Me more and more. In your life, which is a constant journey, constantly dying and rising in Me. Your goal is to be united deeper and deeper in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Surrender to all of the sufferings that you are experiencing at this moment and come to My Heart. Come to Me I will give you abundant life.

9. R. Jesus walked with the disciples on the way to Emmaus and He accounted for them the Scriptures that pertained to Him from Moses and the early prophets. When He arrived at Emmaus, He broke bread and they recognized Him and they said, “Were not our hearts burning within us when He accounted for us the Scriptures!”

Today - the more we are saturated with His life, the more we know Him, the more we partake in His Divine Mysteries, the more our hearts burn with the love of God for His love is not dry and inactive but His love is vibrant and burning.

I see Him as He hung on the cross, covered with blood, His head crowned with thorns - this is the love that He has for us, that He came to this earth, the Son of God, that He gave Himself and hung on the cross for three agonizing hours, that we would have life and share in His life abundantly.

Dear Father, we beg of you to outpour the graces to us that we may share deeper and deeper in this Divine Life, in this Divine Love. Let us be saturated with His life so that every word that is spoken in the Mass, every word in the Scriptures, the Eucharistic sacrifice, all the great gifts that we have been given, will have such great meaning in our lives as we partake deeper and deeper in Your Divine Life.

Song: I Know Your Love A Little Now

l0. R. God gives us such gifts. He shares with us His Divine life and His Divine love and look how He is treated this day with such indifference and such ungratefulness from His creatures! Who are we that God gives Himself to us and we treat Him this way? Let us help make reparation to His adorable Heart for our offenses committed by us and other men this day and let us beg Him for His mercy for ourselves and for the sins of our brothers.

Ascension

l. R. Before Jesus ascended into Heaven He gave the apostles the power to baptize and forgive sins. It is through Baptism that we share in His Divine life.

2. R. We go through our lives each day growing deeper and deeper in His life in us. We are preparing for eternity when we want to be united with Him forever and ever.

3. R. Think of the mystery that Jesus rose from the dead and the mystery that He raised His arms and He ascended into Heaven!

4. R. These are truly the glorious mysteries.

5. R. Jesus took them out to the town of Bethany. He raised His arms and ascended into Heaven and the apostles were awestruck as they looked from the field below to see their beloved Jesus go into the sky.

6. R. They were filled with fear to see Him go. They were filled with such immense insight for they knew Jesus, they walked with Jesus, they saw Jesus die on the cross and they saw Him after the Resurrection, and now their beloved Jesus ascended into Heaven.

7. R. BUT, He remains with us this day and I hear Him call out, “I Am Alive, I Am Alive, I Am Alive. He is alive. When we are baptized and remain in the state of grace the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within our graced baptized soul.

8. R. What have we to fear when the Almighty God dwells within our graced baptized soul? If the wind blows and the rains come, if the sun ceases to shine, if the earth rocks, we know that the Almighty God is present within our graced baptized soul. What have we to fear for He is all powerful! Who are we that God loves us so much that He sent His only begotten Son into this world and that He lived and walked this earth, that He suffered and died and that He rose and that we receive this sharing in His Divine life, for He wants us to love Him so intimately in our hearts.

9. R. God loves us so. He raises us to such dignity. God, the Father, created us in His own image and likeness and He remains with us and dwells in our graced baptized soul. If we knew even a little bit the immensity of His love for us, we would not fear. If we felt this presence deep within us and felt His love, we would not fear. Let us focus here for a moment on the presence of the Almighty God within our graced baptized soul. Oh what awe! That God dwells in us.

l0. R. Jesus gives to us a sharing in His life in baptism. He shares with us His Divine life. We are human. In Baptism we are incorporated into Christ. We are raised to such heights in Him. It is through the pierced Heart of Jesus that the sacramental life of the church was born. What came forth from His pierced Heart was blood and water. Water for Baptism, and blood, for the Eucharist, whereby we are fed by His Body and Blood. Jesus came to this earth. God gives us a sharing in His life in baptism. Jesus feeds this life with Himself in the Eucharist. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity. I hear Him call out “I am Alive, I am Alive, I am Alive.”

Song: I Am the Bread of Life

Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and the Blessed Virgin Mary

l. R. The apostles and the Blessed Mother, were gathered in the upper room and there was a gigantic-like wind and there appeared over their heads parted tongues of fire and they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in foreign tongues as He prompted them to speak.

2. R. We see the apostles. We see Peter, afraid because he had denied Jesus. We see how the apostles were and then the Holy Spirit descended upon them and they were transformed from fear to fearlessness.

3. R. In all of their weaknesses, Jesus left the apostles behind to carry out the work that He had begun. Peter was chosen by God to be vicar of His Church.

4. R. Jesus gave His Blessed Mother to us - our Mother is the Mother of the Church.

5. R. Jesus no longer walks this earth. Will we carry out His life, death, and resurrection in our lives? This is our mission, from Baptism, to carry the Good News to the world.

6. R. It is in these Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary that He is pouring out to us abundant graces to grow deeper and deeper in our union with Him. This is a special gift that He has given to us this day. Let us open our hearts and receive the graces that He is giving to us to unite closer to Him.

7. R. Let us pray to the Holy Spirit to receive the fire of God’s love within our hearts - to feel this burning love of the Heart of Jesus. Come, Holy Spirit, fill our hearts with the fire of God’s love that we, too, will be transformed from fear to fearlessness, that we will have the courage to go out and to say to this world, “Jesus is Lord”, “Jesus is alive”, “I love Jesus”, “Jesus is my best friend” - Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! Let us talk to one another about Jesus and let us not be afraid of the influences that have infiltrated this world in so many circles where God is not spoken about, in schools, in public. We go to Jesus and we sit before Him in the tabernacle and He outpours His grace to us and we go out to our workplaces and we are afraid to tell the hungry souls about Jesus!

8. Song: Come Holy Ghost

9. Jesus: My Beloved ones, I call you to mission. I call you to unite in deepest union with My Heart. Many are called but few are chosen. I have chosen you and called you here to unite in this deep union, to go out to this world and to spread the love of My Most Sacred Heart. I am alive, I am alive, I am alive and I live in the hearts of men. Let My life penetrate your soul. Open wide your hearts. My love is burning and on fire. I ask you to come to Me and to share this love and to feel this love burning within you for Me. I ask you to come to Me and to share this love and to feel this burning within you and to tell Me of your burning love for Me. I am Jesus. See before you My body as it hung on the cross - this is the love that I have for you this day. I am alive, I am alive, I am alive.

l0. R. The Holy Spirit descended upon them and within their hearts they felt the vibrancy and the life of the Almighty God within. Who are we that God, the Father, loves this world that He sent His Son into this world to give us His life and He is treated with such indifference and ingratitude by His creatures. Let us help make reparation to God for the sins of men.

Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive.

The Assumption

1. Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

Before receiving the six apparitions of Our Lady, May through October of 1917, the three Fatima visionaries were visited by an angel on three different occasions during the preceding year. He appeared to them in the spring, summer, and fall.

2. Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

Lucia (now Sr. Lucia) describes the springtime apparition of the angel:

"My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You."

Then, rising he said: "Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications."

His words engraved themselves so deeply on our minds that we could never forget them (3)

3. Louis Kondar, SVD, editor, Fatima in Lucia's Own Words (Fatima: Postulation Center, 1976), p.62. Distributed in the U.S.A. by the Ravengate Press, Cambridge, MA.

3. Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

During the summer of 1916, the angel again appeared to the three visionaries. He said to them:

Pray! Pray a great deal. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have merciful designs on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices continually to the Most High. Make everything you do a sacrifice, and offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which God is offended, and as a petition for the conversion of sinners. Bring peace to our country in this way.... I am the Guardian Angel of Portugal Accept and bear with submission all the sufferings the Lord will send you. (4)

4. Our Lady's Peace Plan, op cit., pp.1-2.

4. Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

In the fall of the same year, the angel visited the visionaries a final time:

The angel came...bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed that drops of blood were falling from the Host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid-air and prostrated himself on the ground, saying this beautiful prayer: "Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners." (5)

5. Our Lady's Peace Plan, op cit., p.2 (The words in brackets are my own-added for clarification).

5. Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

Sr. Lucia relates how the angel gave them Communion:

Then, rising, he took the chalice and the Host in his hand. He gave the Sacred Host to me and shared the Blood from the chalice between Jacinta and Francisco, saying as he did so:

"Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God." (6)

The Coronation

1. Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    From the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima. Mary appeared 6 times. She told the 3 children this on May 13, 1917.

May 13, 1917

    "Do not be afraid, I will do you no harm..... I am from Heaven.

    "I have come to ask you to come here for six months in succession, on the 13th day, at the same hour. Later on, I will tell you who I am and what I want

    "Are you willing to offer yourselves to God and bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners?

    "Pray the Rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the world, and the end of the war." ⁽⁸⁾

2. Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    From the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima. On June 13, 1917 Our Lady told the 3 children:

June 13, 1917

    "God wishes you to remain in the world for some time because He wants to use you to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart. I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and their souls will be loved by God as flowers placed by myself to adorn His throne." ⁽¹⁰⁾

3. Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

From the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima. On July 13, 1917 the Lady told the 3 children:

July 13, 1917

    "During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." ⁽¹¹⁾

4. Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

From the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima. On July 13, 1917 the Lady told the 3 children:

July 13, 1917

    "During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

    "You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

    "The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. ⁽¹²⁾

    "To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

    "But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." ⁽¹³⁾

From the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima. She did not appear in August for they had jailed the children — She then appeared August 19, 1917

August 19, 1917

    She told them she was greatly displeased by the action of the mayor. As a result, the miracle promised for October would not be as impressive as originally planned. ⁽¹⁵⁾

6. Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

From the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima.

September 13, 1917

    More than 30,000 people were present in September, and saw a shower of mysterious white petals fall to within 10 feet of the ground before dissolving into the air. Many also saw the globe of light bearing the Lady come to rest atop the tree, and the branches bend as though someone were standing on them. Later, they saw the cloud depart into the east, from whence it had come.⁽¹⁶⁾

From the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima. On October 13, 1917 the Lady told the 3 children:

            October 13, 1917

In her message that day, Our Blessed Mother told the children:

    I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.⁽¹⁷⁾

From the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima.

October 13, 1917

    While the people in attendance were beholding the great Miracle of the Sun, the three young visionaries, and they alone, were privileged to see striking visions in the heavens:

    As Our Lady had promised, St. Joseph had come with the Holy Family and had blessed the world. Then, Our Lady appeared as the Mother of Sorrows, accompanied by her Divine Son, Who also blessed the world. Finally, Lucy had seen the Blessed Virgin, dressed in the brown robes of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth, holding a brown Scapular in her hand, with her infant Son upon her knee. However, in none of these visions had any of the figures spoken to the children. ⁽¹⁸⁾

16. Our Lady's Peace Plan, op cit., p.8.

9. Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

From the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima.

    Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her (during her illness) by Mary:

    More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.

    Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much.

    Many marriages are not good; they do not please Our Lord and are not of God.

    Priests must be pure, very pure. They should not busy themselves with anything except what concerns the Church and souls. The disobedience of priests, to their superiors and to the Holy Father, is very displeasing to Our Lord.

    I can no longer restrain the hand of my Divine Son from striking the world with just punishments for its many crimes.

    If the government of a country leaves the Church in peace and gives liberty to our Holy Religion, it will be blessed by God.

    Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. ⁽¹⁹⁾

Note: Rita talked to the group, telling them about materials that were available.

She read from Fr. Carter’s book.

She explained about the Handbook for the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and suggested, even if only 3 people could attend, say the prayers once a week at least - Jesus will send people - it is not numbers (Mother Teresa is one person). Everyone has a special calling - we make up the threads in the tapestry.

Rita talked about the Nursing Home Ministry - see Gerald and Donna.

Rita talked about the Jr. Shepherds of Christ and Cathy, Joe, Emily and Nick talked.

Rita’s Prayer: I pray you are joined with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and that you join ever closer to Jesus and that at every Mass that you know more and more the fire of God’s love and that every word at the Mass sings in your head and from this message that you will go out to this world. In your circles you will be filled with the fire of God’s love from the Holy Spirit, to spread the message of His love to this world for we, indeed, are greatly gifted by Him and I am just so thankful for all of you, that you have answered His call to come here.

Song: Teach Me to Love You

October 16, 1995

A HOLY PRIEST AT MASS

Written on the Feast Day of St. Margaret Mary, after Communion:

R. All through the Mass, I realized the need to beg God for His mercy for my sins and the sins of all. How God is offended by our sins! I realized, after Communion, I am a little creature and He is God, and He gives Himself to me. In this moment, I want to relish each and every precious second that I am united to Him. My heart burns for love of Him.

I hear the song, "...I scarce can breathe when You come into me." and sing, "Oh Burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how dear You are to me. I see the Host, I know You're here to love and care for me."

Jesus and Mary want the priests to be holy. I feel the holiness of the priest, and it increases my union with Jesus for his reverence and holiness and oneness with Jesus is transmitted to me as he celebrates the Mass.

It is a power I feel in the offering of the sacrifice of Jesus to the Father. I feel His presence at the Mass, especially when a holy priest is officiating.

October 17, 1995

I AM CRUCIFIED WITH HIM

R. God gave His Son as a sacrifice to make reparation for sin. We unite in this Holy Sacrifice, the most pleasing sacrifice to the Father. I become one with Jesus. I am crucified with Him. I offer myself as a sacrifice to the Father for my sins and the sins of the whole world.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass goes on to make reparation to the Father for the sins of ungrateful men. We unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, all over the world, at every moment, to make reparation for the sins going on all over the world.

I become one in Him; He becomes one in me, and we unite and offer to the Father this Holy Sacrifice.

Jesus: I am the vine, you are the branches. He who lives in Me will bear much fruit. You unite in deepest union with Me in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I outpour to you My grace. I give you mercy. Men are ungrateful to Me. You join in My Heart, in deepest love in the Eucharist, you are fed with My Body and Blood. You carry My love to others. You unite in deepest union with God, you become one in Me. You will spread My message of love to this world.

R. I keep realizing that I am such a little speck and so sinful and so unworthy. I am nothing without Him. I see myself uniting to God, and I am awe struck at His goodness and His love. I am laid waste by His abundant blessings to me.

October 17, 1995

THE BLASPHEMIES TO MARY

R. Let me die in Christ. He was crucified. Let me offer myself as a sacrifice in the Mass with Him that I will rise to new life in Him. Through Him, With Him, and In Him.

All graces flow through Mary's heart. She is the Mediatrix for all grace. We must venerate her Immaculate Heart. She is the highest human person. She was created immaculate. He gives us a model to follow, one without sin. He raises her to such heights. She is His Mother.

By venerating her Immaculate Heart, we are recognizing the goodness of God, His love for His creatures and the heights to which He raises men. He raised Mary, a creature, to the Motherhood of God.

This shows us the dignity and honor He gives to men - He made Mary, a human person, the Mother of Jesus! He makes Mary the Mother of all men. He makes Mary the Mediatrix of all graces.

We are denying our own importance to God when we deny the fact that Mary was conceived without original sin. She is a human person. He so loved man that He created her spotless. Eve was without sin - Eve sinned; Mary is conceived immaculate - she is sinless - the new Eve.

The first blasphemy is against her Immaculate Conception. Mary's heart is pure, sinless. It is in her sinless heart, we can dwell deeply in His Heart. The devil has waged a war against Mary for he knows Mary is the gatekeeper of the Heart of Christ.

The second blasphemy:

Mary did not unite with a creature, she is the spouse of the Holy Spirit.

It is in this act, between Divinity and humanity, that the Son of God is born.

She is the spouse of the Holy Spirit. She is betrothed to Him.

The third blasphemy is against her as Mother of God. It is by loving through Mary's pure heart that we give great love to God. We want to love Him so much, in her pure heart, we love through her Immaculate Heart. We are sinners. She is sinless.

I understand her role as Mediatrix of all graces. He loves creatures so much He chooses Mary, a human person, to be the Mother of Jesus. She is the Mediatrix of all His graces.

To not recognize this is to not recognize the great dignity to which He has raised His creatures that He has chosen Mary to be the Mother of God. She is the Mediatrix of all graces. (We are not recognizing our own dignity if we do not recognize that Mary is given this great gift from God. This is how God loves His creatures).

God raises man to such heights that He creates him in His own image and likeness. Adam sinned against God; God is faithful to His promises. God sends a Redeemer to save man from their sins.

God enters the world in a human creature, Mary. By denying the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we are denying our own dignity and honor. God wishes us to venerate and make reparation to her Immaculate Heart - to do so is to see the great dignity and honor and love God has for His creatures.

She is the highest human person. She is the New Eve. She is conceived without original sin. She is a virgin, espoused to the Holy Spirit. She is the Mother of God. Her heart is invisibly pierced with a sword. She walks the Passion with our Lord.

To know Mary, to love her, to see her great dignity and honor, is to know His love for His creatures, to know more His love for us.

To hate Mary is to not recognize God's great love for us.

She is the highest, created, human person. She is our model. She is Mary, Immaculate, Mother of the human race. She is a human person and He raises her to all these heights. People who do not honor Mary do not understand the greatness which God has given to His beloved creatures. We miss the love God has for us.

It is to miss our own dignity and honor. He makes her the Mediatrix of all graces-all life flows through her. Man is united to God in her womb. Oh, holy, holy womb of Mary. Mary, Immaculate, conceived without sin, virgin, betrothed to the Holy Spirit.

It is the work of the devil to blaspheme Mary in her Immaculate Conception, virginity, and against her as Mother of God.

When I understand the great love God has for Mary, the great dignity and honor He gives to Mary, I understand more fully His great love for me. Mary is the highest human person. In recognizing Mary in her specialness to God, I recognize His specialness for me.

There are five blasphemies against Mary. They are against her Immaculate Conception, against her virginity, against her as the Mother of God, against her images and statues, against her as mother of her children. Some little children are taught ugly things about their heavenly Mother. Some little children are taught to hate her.

The rosary is the story of the love of God for His creatures. His love is perfectly communicated in the Persons of the Trinity. He wishes to share His love and goodness with man.

In giving such great dignity to Mary, God adds to the dignity of each of us. The devil has tried to divide men from their Mother. Some priests and religious do not honor Mary. Some members of the Church do not honor Mary. Not to honor Mary is not to properly recognize our own dignity. We do not recognize the heights to which God raises His creatures. She is the model. He gives to her the role as Mediatrix of all graces - as co-redemptrix, she shares in Jesus' role. She is so united to her Son.

The message of Fatima says this: God wishes the Immaculate Heart of Mary to be venerated next to His Sacred Heart. We must venerate her heart next to His. Her heart is so closely joined to His. Her heart is immaculate. She was conceived without sin. She is a virgin. All are to recognize the close union Jesus wants with His creatures. He came into this world with a Heart of deepest love. This is how God loved this world. Jesus' Heart is a symbol of this love. His Heart was formed in the womb of Mary. Jesus wants His Heart venerated with the heart of Mary. In this way, He shows His intense love for us, His creatures. He raises us to such heights. He is so closely linked with the highest human person. He wants His Heart venerated with His Mother's heart. His Mother's heart is the key to His Heart. This is our little heaven on earth. How could sinful men enter the Heart of Christ? We go to the heart of Mary, she is the sinless one. We give ourselves completely to her that we will be able to go to the deepest chamber of His Heart. Her heart is sinless.

To me, the message of Fatima is this: Here is God - Here is Man. God, in His goodness and love, creates man, and man sins against God. God so loves His creatures He comes into the world, His Heart formed in the womb of a creature.

Mary is the highest human person. To not recognize Mary, her Immaculate Heart, and the fact that she is a virgin, espoused to the Holy Spirit, is to miss a big link between God and His creatures. We cannot go deeply into His Heart unless we go through the sinless one, Mary. He made her a human person entirely sinless and pure. Divinity unites to humanity in the heart of Mary.

He wishes His Heart to be venerated next to hers because of His great love for us. To not recognize Mary is to miss our own dignity and honor and the love He has for us. We were created to know, love, and serve God. We are creatures - He is God.

Heaven is a gift given to us from the Supreme Being, God. We must realize that if we go to heaven it is because of His great love for us.

To not recognize Mary, her Immaculate Heart, the virgin birth, Mary as Mother of God, is to have pride in our hearts. We are creatures, He is our Creator. It is to not see the connection between God and man. Divinity is joined to humanity. God, the Son of God, becomes man. His Divinity is joined to our humanity in the Incarnation. She is the Mother of God!

She is a virgin (espoused to the Holy Spirit), and she is immaculate - conceived without sin.

God has entrusted to Mary the peace of the world. Mary appears at Fatima and tells us her peace plan. It is centered in 1. consecrating our hearts to Jesus and Mary, 2. the rosary, 3. first Saturday devotion, 4. making reparation to Their Hearts. If what Mary has asked for is observed, we will have peace. If she is ignored, we will not have peace.

In reparation, we give ourselves as a holy sacrifice at the Mass. We unite at Holy Communion in the deepest union with God and tell Him we want to help make reparation to His adorable Heart. This is a most pleasing offering to the Father. We want to help make reparation for the blasphemies against her heart. Whether the world has war or peace depends on Mary's peace plan.

In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, we are telling people about consecrating their hearts to Jesus and Mary. If enough people give their hearts to Jesus and Mary, we will have peace. Their hearts, then, will be hearts of love and will respond in love to all difficulties and turn to God. If most people do not respond to Mary's plan and remain bitter and hateful in their hearts, we will have war. The heart determines our actions. Hearts consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary are hearts of love. Hearts that are filled with bitterness and hatred will respond with hate and start wars.

It is a great gift to be called to be an apostle in the Shepherds of Christ Movement and spread His love to the world.

Mary said that until a sufficient number have consecrated their hearts to Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.

This is good news, we must try to spread this Movement to the world. Fr. Carter is reaching the priests in his spirituality newsletter. It is centered in consecrating the priests' hearts to Jesus and Mary.

We are reaching the sisters and brothers in a newsletter for religious, written by a sister and Fr. Carter. We have prayer chapters all over the world praying for priests and consecrating their hearts to Jesus and Mary. We have adult chapters and children chapters.

Jesus: Do you know what it is to be treated with indifference and neglect? I am the Almighty God, I am He whose bootstraps you are unworthy to tie, so few have time for Me in their busy lives, or even mention My name. I give you great gifts and insights into My Heart and My Mother's heart. Let go of any ill feelings and rest in My Heart.

R. Jesus is my refuge and my life. It is in Him I live. His Mother is my Mother. She is the highest human person. How tenderly He loves His creatures that He gave to her the gift of becoming Mother of God. A creature becomes the Mother of God! It is in realizing this mystery more, I see His immense love for me.

He gives to Mary the gift of being born without sin. She is a human person. She is sinless.

She is our model, and she is our Mother. She is immaculate. He raises her to be so pure and holy. It is in blaspheming her that we are hurting ourselves for she is our beloved Mother. In blaspheming her, we do not realize the great dignity and honor that God raises man when He gives this great gift to her.

Notes: The most perfect sacrifice, the most efficacious prayer, is, of course, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered to God.

Jesus: I give you great gifts and sufferings. In each precious gift I have given you deep insight into My love for men.

I Am on Fire for Love

Jesus: You have been allowed to share many emotions of My Heart. It is in these experiences you know My love more deeply.

This is the love I have for men. I was neglected and treated with such scorn. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, My Heart is on FIRE for men. I am treated with neglect and forgotten, you are My apostle to spread this love to the suffering world.

MARY'S HEART SHOULD BE
VENERATED NEXT TO JESUS' HEART

R. He wants His Heart venerated next to Mary's heart.

This shows us how much He loves human persons. His Mother is a human person and He holds His Mother's heart next to His Heart. To not recognize Mary is to not see the great dignity and honor He gives to human persons.

To recognize God's relationship with Mary and the great dignity and honor He gives to her is to recognize His love for His creatures. He raises us to such heights, and He loves us dearly.

He wants His Heart venerated next to Mary - He wants us to dwell in Their Hearts.

Who are we, so unworthy, little specks, that He gives us such dignity and honor!

By recognizing Mary and His relationship with her, we are elevated to such heights for she is the highest human person and our Mother. She is the pure one, the sinless one, by dwelling in her heart we can go to the Heart of her Son. We are sinners, how do we, in our sinfulness, go to the depth of the Heart of Christ. We go through the pure and sinless heart of His Mother.

God chose a woman, a human person, to be Jesus' Mother. He was incarnate in a human person. Divinity joins with humanity in the womb of Mary, a human person. Mary is espoused to the Holy Spirit, she (a human person) becomes the spouse of the Holy Spirit (a Divine Person). He raises a human person to such heights, far beyond our comprehension. This is the love He has for His creatures. There must be such love between the priest and Mary.

The devil has tried to divide us from our Mother.

She appeared at Fatima. She wants us to make reparation to her Immaculate Heart. She appears with her heart in her hand. God, in His great goodness and love, creates creatures. Adam and Eve sinned. He loves His creatures so much that He sent His only Son. He elevates Mary to such heights. She is espoused to a Divine Person - the Holy Spirit. She becomes the Mother of God. Jesus is formed in her womb. She is a virgin espoused to God, and she is treated with disrespect, dishonor, and made fun of. She is the highest human person! It is in her womb that Divinity and humanity meet - that the Son of God is formed in His human nature.

He gives to her the role of Mediatrix of all graces. He loves Mary so much.

To not recognize Mary, to not honor her, is to not recognize this great gift God has given to His creatures.

To not recognize Mary is to miss how God joins so deeply to humanity in Mary.

She is the woman clothed in the sun, the moon under here feet and 12 stars about her head.

She, the Lady of Light, the Mother of the children of light, crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth - the darkness is under her feet. She is the highest human person.

To not recognize her is to not see our own dignity and honor as loved ones of God.

The devil knows this - he has engaged a war to separate us from God.

We are joined to God in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Mary is espoused to the Holy Spirit, created without sin, and the Mother of God.

I AM LOST IN HIM

Written after Communion:

R. I am but a speck on the great abyss of His love. I see myself as a little speck and tucked deeply in the ocean of His love. I lose myself entirely in Him. Some things are not so important now. I am lost in Him and His love. I can go to Him, and I am totally at peace. I am lost in Him. I can let go. I am so tiny, totally enveloped in Him, with no cares, only His presence. I am in ecstasy.

I am in the great abyss of His love. I am lost in Him. There is such healing of our hearts in the Eucharist; to unite with God, Who is love, is to be filled with love!

October 19, 1995

I DEPEND TOTALLY ON HIS GRACE

R. I have been taunted by Satan for two days, since before the rosary. I see my guilt. I see my pride. I see my offenses and selfishness against God. I see my lack of trust. I am wed to Jesus. I am nothing without His grace, so sinful and so full of pride!

I saw Jesus with a ring, put it on my left hand. He said I am wed to Him. I depend on His grace.

October 30, 1995

I AM WED TO GOD

R. My body is weary, my head feels faint, but I go to the chest of my beloved Spouse and I lay my head on His wound. I enter into the great abyss of His love through the wound in His side.

I see the need to pray for priests and sisters and the faithful as never before. I see myself and how far I am from Him and how close I want to be. I see my offenses against my Lord. I long to be more and more like Him. I want to be beautiful for my beloved Spouse. What the world thinks is beautiful is of no concern. I want to live in Him. I want my soul white and pure. My soul is marred with daily offenses against my beloved God. I want Him so much. I don't want to offend Him.

I see as never before the great dignity and honor He gives to His creatures and His great love for them. I feel chills to know I am betrothed to Him, my beloved Savior. He is the Bridegroom of my soul.

My spirit is alive, my energy endless. I will not tire for I am married to the Almighty God. He is my beloved Spouse. I travel and speak on His behalf to tell this world of His endless love. I pray for grace for myself and others that He will speak through me and use me as His instrument. However He uses me is my delight, for my life is for Him and Him alone. My body may feel weary, my heart is on fire with burning love for my beloved Prince, my King, my Prophet, my Savior, my Beloved, my God!

I become one in the sacrifice as I unite to Him at every moment. As He is sacrificed, I am sacrificed with Him and I offer myself, imperfect and unworthy, to the Father for my sins and the sins of this world.

I honor You. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. I am in awe to unite with my beloved God. Who am I that I unite with the Divine God? My strength is in You for when I am weak, I am strong. When I fall to the ground with exhaustion, I rise up with the cross on my back for I am living in Him. I am living His life in my life, carrying out His life, death, and Resurrection in my life.

He is my Strength. He is my God. He is my All. Unto Him I lift my soul. I pray that He will accept this unworthy sacrifice, that I will unite ever more deeply to my beloved Spouse, and I will be His little flower, fresh and beautiful before the throne. I pray the Spirit transforms me more and more. I am weak, and I am a sinner. He is strong, and He is the Almighty God. It is in Him I am made whole, and it is in Him, I live. It is in Him I exist. It is in Him, I love.

Take me, work in me, for I love You with my whole heart, but I am so weak, but in You, I am strong. In You, I can live in the Father's will. I am but a baby. Let me die to myself at every Mass and be stripped bare of my sins. As I unite in the sacrifice with my crucified Lord, I become one in His wounds. I unite my unruly spirit to Him.

If bread and wine is changed into Your Body and Blood, You can change me from my sinful ways more into Your image and likeness.

I am burned in the furnace of His Heart. My debris is burned away more and more. At each Mass, I die more and more to my selfish and prideful ways. I am united to the sacrifice. In Him, I am made more pleasing to God. I am unworthy. I have so many impurities. (I am weak in myself - only in You am I anything!) Take me, and do with me as You desire. I am Yours, Lord. In You, I live, I breathe, I am. Make me more and more like You.

HALLOWEEN

R. I went with Joe's class to a concert. The kids were so bad on the bus. They talked about the devil at the concert.

I realized the intense need for children to receive the messages of God's love. I felt intense suffering for the children and cried for the children of the world. I was suffering for the little children. I felt so sick because Jesus is rejected and forgotten in the tabernacle! I cried under the crucifix for a half hour. I am so weak right now, I don't want to move.

I am suffering for Mary's little lost children in the world, suffering and experiencing heartache for the neglect of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

Today is Halloween. I had intense suffering for the loss of little children parading around as little devils. They do not even know God!

Shepherds of Christ Meeting

Before the Blessed Sacrament
at Our Lady of the Woods

Sorrowful Mysteries

Song: A Song from Jesus

Agony in the Garden

1. R. Let us focus on the presence of Jesus in this room with us. Think of our beloved Jesus hanging from the cross, see Him vividly before your eyes covered with blood and withered. Think of the love that He has for each one of us. Thank You Jesus. Picture Him so clearly. He is still in the last moments before His death on the cross and He is saying, that He is giving us His beloved Mother as our mother. Can you put yourself there and be under the cross with Mary. Can you realize that Jesus gave us His Mother, present there and think of how it would be, if you were standing under the cross and you heard Jesus call out. If you saw Him with the nails in His hands and His feet and you saw Him covered with blood and withered in all that pain and anguish. Think of His great love for us. Jesus gives us His Mother. I feel within my heart a chill to be there as I envision myself at the crucifixion. But, Jesus is in this room with us. This is the same Jesus, truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the Eucharist. I heard Him today call out and call out and in such sorrow. My heart was torn within me to hear what I heard, of how He is longing and waiting for His beloved souls to come and to be with Him. He says He is ignored and forgotten. Jesus is here. Focus on the presence of the Almighty God, the all powerful God, in this room.

    Jesus is longing for our love in this rosary, to outpour our love to Him. Jesus wants to hear from our lips and from our hearts how much we love Him. As we meditate on these mysteries of the rosary, let us pray for the grace to join in deepest union with Him, to feel this deep love that He has for us. Pray for the grace to give this love back to Him. Pray to know more how to love our beloved Savior. Tell Him we are sorry for the neglect we give Him. We are sorry for the sins of men and the way Jesus is being treated this day, by the men in this world.

2. R. Jesus how I love You. I see You there hanging on the cross and giving me your Mother and I feel warmed in my heart, for I feel Your love and I want to give my love back to You. How many times I offend You by my ways and how I long to love You more, as You deserve to be loved.

3. R. Jesus is a person. Jesus is present and He is in this room, no less present than the day He knelt in the garden. I envision myself kneeling next to Him in the garden. I am here with Him now in this room for He is truly present in the Eucharist.

4. R. Why are we so busy that we do not have time to spend with Jesus. Why is it, we do not realize that He is the Almighty God and that in one second He can reveal to us such insights into the hidden mysteries. Jesus shares with us great gifts. Jesus makes our load light when we go to Him. Jesus said to the apostles "Can you not watch one hour with Me." The apostles slept. We think how could the apostles have slept? The Almighty God was there. Jesus is as present this day in the tabernacles of this world. Jesus is forgotten in many Churches. Jesus is forgotten and ignored. Jesus is crying out today. Today under the cross I heard Him say - how He suffered in the passion for the neglect given to Him in the Eucharist. Jesus says, He is truly present in the consecrated host and left alone many times in the Churches where He is present. He is here with us now. Jesus wants our love. He came into this world a little baby to be loved by us, Jesus is longing for us to open up our hearts to let go of all the debris and anger toward any person and to fill our hearts with love.

5. Jesus: I call out, My dear ones, to purify your hearts. In every Mass offer yourself to My Father united with Me in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. I was nailed to the cross. You too, will suffer, suffer with Me. Identify with My suffering! Give yourselves entirely to the Father. You die to yourselves and your sinful ways, pray to the Holy Spirit to transform you more and more into My image and likeness.

6. R. Say the Morning Offering. Go to Mass: "Through Him, with Him and in Him". Jesus calls us to unite in such oneness in the Mass.

Jesus: Cleanse your hearts of debris and unite with Me. What could be more important than uniting to the Almighty God?

7. R. The drop of water is mixed with the wine at Mass. We are little specks compared to the Almighty God and He loves us creatures so much that He wants to become one in us. Jesus' Heart was in such anguish in the garden. Jesus was rejected by those He loved so dearly. Jesus gives Himself to us.

8. R. The heart and its ways. We know how it is to have a heartache. We do not even know minutely how, Jesus suffered to see the sins of all men in the garden. He saw the sins from all time, of all men, all the hatred and all the anger, and all the offenses committed against God, the ingratitude to God. God came to this earth in the womb of Mary. Mary was a human person, that shows us a little His immense love for His creatures. After the sin of Adam and Eve He came that we could be saved. Look at how He is offended this day, by our sins and the sins of the world.

9. R. Let us help make reparation to the adorable Heart of Jesus for our sins and the sins of all the world. Let us come clean and admit our offenses against God - how we blocked God's love because of our jealousies and selfishness and anger and pride!!

10. R. Eternal Father I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and the sins of the whole world.

Sing: A Song from Jesus

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. Jesus: I am with you in all of the struggles that you are experiencing. I am guarding you and I'm watching your way. You go it alone My little ones and I am so close to you. I am attentive to your every breath and your every heartbeat. You do not know how I watch you and how I guard you. You walk away from Me many times as a little child. You think how hard your life is and I am the Almighty God and I am with you in every breath that you take. Surrender yourselves, let go, take both of your feet off the ground and let go. You hold on to foolish things and I want to possess your soul My dear ones. Surrender, surrender, surrender and feel My presence within you, the Almighty God within your breast, I am truly present in the Eucharist in this room and you worry for such incidental things, let go.

2. R. See Jesus at the pillar, see Jesus' skin torn from His body and look into Jesus' eyes the eyes of deepest love. The blood covering His face, as they whip Him. Jesus stands at the pillar and receives the blows and accepts them. The Almighty God who at any moment could have stopped the treatment but accepts it willingly because of His love for us this day. Jesus is ignored and mistreated in the tabernacle today, in the churches. People walk by and do not even realize that the Almighty God is there and we should kiss the ground. The children that do not even know and He longs and thirsts and wants them to tell Him of their love. Can we add sweetness to the bitterness of this anguish during His passion, how He suffered for our insensitivity and anger and unloving way.

Jesus cries out, come to Me My beloved, I am God and I am waiting for you.

3. R. His love is tenderness, His love is kindness, His love is gentleness, His love is always in peace, His way is peace.

4. R. Outpour Your grace to us, oh God. We go to Mass and implore You to outpour Your grace. Help us to die to ourselves and to grow in holiness. Let us die to those things that are not of You, pride, anger, selfishness, self-promotion, whatever it is that, is in our hearts that blocks us from deeper union with You. Let us feel a cleansing at each Mass. We must die to ourselves and grow in greater life in God.

5. Song: I Love You Jesus

6. R. And in my weakness I am strengthened in Him. With His grace I can be molded more and more into the image and likeness of the Almighty God. The bread and wine is changed into the body and blood of Jesus Christ, He is the Almighty God. We come to Him with a humble heart. With a heart that is so surrendering and yielding. Jesus works in us and we are transformed more and more into His image and likeness.

7. R. Give us the grace as we sit before the tabernacle. Give us the grace we need most in order to unite in deeper and deeper union with You.

8. Jesus: Why do you complain about the struggles that you are given? You can be drawn closer in suffering. Beg for grace. Accept the crosses and come to Me. I am waiting for you and longing to unite ever deeper with your precious heart.

9. R. I look into the eyes of the scourged Jesus covered from head to toe with deep wounds and blood. Parts of His skin ripped off His body and as I looked into His eyes I see the tenderness and the deep love that He has for each one of us, and I thank Him, I thank Him and I thank Him and I thank Him for the great gifts that He has given to us and that we know more and more about the Divine God.

10. R. We thank You, we love You, we adore You, we worship You, we thank You, beloved scourged Jesus, for the love that You have for us.

Song: A Song from Jesus

The Crowning with Thorns

1. Jesus: Die to yourselves My beloved ones and live in Me.

2. Jesus: So as you are in your heart, you will be in this world. Let go of any debris, trade any bitterness or anger for My love.

3. Song: Are Not Our Hearts Burning Within Us

4. R. We feel alone sometimes and Jesus is there and so close and calling out to us.

Jesus: I am with you at every second at every moment. I am guarding you and I am watching you. I am asking you to trust in Me, trust in Me. You must discipline your thoughts, for the days ahead will be hard and dark. You are My soldiers that I am sending into this world to carry the message of My love you must be strong soldiers. It is in your weaknesses that you are strengthened, for within your breast you know God dwells in your graced baptized soul and is giving you grace when you come and ask to love. Love God and love neighbor and love yourself as God wants. I give you grace to be holy when you come to Me and ask in docility and with a contrite, truthful, humble heart.

    How can you feel afraid when you know God is within you? If your body is burned and you are handed over to your oppressors you will know peace in your hearts for the Almighty God lives and dwells in the graced baptized soul. I am truly Jesus Christ the Son of God and I am giving to you great graces to carry out the Plan of the Father. Surrender, let your hearts be gentle and your ways meek and humble. Be motivated only by the love of God.

5. Jesus: I am your spouse, I am your lover you are wed to the Almighty God. Do you take our marriage lightly? No commitment - IN and OUT behavior. I am attentive to your every need and ever with you. You miss our love affair, minute by minute, second by second, I love you. You must trust and surrender, pray for faith, My dear sweet, sweet children. You must have faith, do not give in to the temptations of satan to lead you from My Heart through pride and jealousy and anger, I am the Almighty God and I am present and with you in every trial and every struggle. In your trials you will know My presence with you if you depend on Me for your every breath.

6. Jesus: The seeds of time move exceedingly slow many men are blind, they are deaf and they do not hear, they reject the great graces that I am giving to them. I am giving to you graces in abundance. Open wide your heart and let Me unite in deepest union with you. As I become one in you, you will spread My messages of love to this world, if you have a holy, loving, truthful heart. For it is in your eyes and in your face, and in your hearts that you will help to change this world that is turned hard. Many hearts have turned to stone. Your hearts must be loving and soft and supple, obedient to God's will and living to love and build My Kingdom.

7. Jesus: What have you to fear when God dwells within your breast.

8. Jesus: See Me as I sat on the throne crowned, with a crown of thorns and the blood poured down My face. My way is peace. My dear ones the Father loves you, surrender, come to My Heart I will bathe you in a bath of My love. Enter through the wound in My Heart, it is through this wound that you will fall into the great abyss, of My burning love and dwell there. When the world presses on you from all sides lay your head against My chest and enter My Heart through My wound and you will be secure in My burning love.

9. Jesus: Close your eyes and focus on your interior life, for I dwell within you. I am guarding you. I am watching you and I am giving you My abundant love.

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.

10. Jesus: The heart and its ways. I know the ways of your heart. I know your every thought, your every desire, your every wish far more than you yourself. I know your fears I guard you and I watch you I gave My life for you. Will you surrender and trust in Me?

Song: I Love You Jesus

Jesus Carries His Cross

1. Jesus: The heart and its ways. I know your heart far more than you yourself.

2. R. Let us walk, the walk, of the stations with Jesus. Jesus was condemned to death. Jesus stood around so many men. Men that cried out! Crucify Him! Crucify Him! Crucify Him! The crowd, the angry crowd. How are we in our lives? Many stand around and shout awful things to us, did Jesus justify Himself? Jesus stood silent and accepted all that they gave to Him.

3. R. Did He say, oh but I am God, how could you do this to Me? Jesus is God, at any moment He could have stopped what was happening, but He stood silent. He came and it is through His blood that we are saved and He came to show us the way. Do we have an angry crowd that surrounds us? A crowd that shouts out sometimes it seems, crucify him, crucify him. How did Jesus respond to His attackers?

    What are we doing to Jesus today when He calls us and asks us to obey the Father's Plan in love? What do we do when Jesus knocks on the door and we won't let Him in, but open the door to the devil in vices we give into? Do you see the thief and do you open to Him?

Luke 12: 39-48

You may be quite sure of this, that if the householder had known at what time the burglar would come, he would not have let anyone break through the wall of his house. You too must stand ready, because the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.’

    Peter said, ‘Lord, do you mean this parable for us, or for everyone?’ The Lord replied, ‘Who, then, is the wise and trustworthy steward whom the master will place over his household to give them at the proper time their allowance of food? Blessed that servant if his master’s arrival finds him doing exactly that. I tell you truly, he will put him in charge of everything that he owns. But if the servant says to himself, "My master is taking his time coming," and sets about beating the menservants and the servant–girls, and eating and drinking and getting drunk, his master will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not know. The master will cut him off and send him to the same fate as the unfaithful.

    ‘The servant who knows what his master wants, but has got nothing ready and done nothing in accord with those wishes, will be given a great many strokes of the lash. The one who did not know, but has acted in such a way that he deserves a beating, will be given fewer strokes. When someone is given a great deal, a great deal will be demanded of that person; when someone is entrusted with a great deal, of that person even more will be expected.

4. Jesus: How are your tongues, My beloved ones, your tongues inside your mouth the way that I enter into your body I give Myself to you. Guard your tongue as the doorway to your heart. Guard your heart in malicious ways of manipulating others through passive-aggressive attacks to provoke and hurt.

5. Jesus: I call you to holiness, I call you to a deep union with Me. It is in surrendering yourself that you will unite ever deeper to My Heart. Let go of any debris in your heart and pray for the grace to become ever closer to My Heart.

6. Jesus: Pray for healing in the Mass as you die to yourself. You offer yourself in sacrifice to the Father. Pray for the grace to be transformed more and more into My image and likeness. Unite in the Holy Eucharist in such deep union with Me. Be holy!

7. R. In the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, offer yourselves to the Father and know how the Father loves you that He created you with such unique talents and that He gave to you such gifts. He wants you to be more perfected and to witness through your example - how you obey your superiors and live by the rules God put before you.

8. R. And His eyes peered into the eyes of His beloved Mother and she looked at her beloved Son and saw Him with the cross on His back. Mary saw Him when He fell to the ground. Mary sees us as we struggle and as we fall to the ground. Our beautiful Mother that is by our side guards us. Mary leads us on our journey to eternal happiness.

9. R. Jesus was stripped of His garments and they nailed His hands to the cross. Jesus came to show us the way, the way to new life is through His death.

10. Jesus: Do not try to do it yourself. Come to Me. Pray, pray, pray to be sanctified through the Holy Spirit. Depend on God. Surrender and know My Might and My helping you in the struggles.

The Crucifixion

1. R. Be there, stand there, and hear the crowd calling out, Crucify Him, Crucify Him and see Jesus accept the heavy cross on His back and struggle as He walks with the cross that is so heavy. See Him as He falls, His chin to the ground and He gets up and struggles. And His eyes peered into the eyes of His Mother. They called Simeon to help Him with the cross and Veronica wiped His face and He fell a second time. The children and the women wept over Jesus and He says to them "weep not for Me but for yourselves and your children." Look at our children in this world today, look at the children. What about the children, what can I say when I see the Blessed Mother appear in front of me time and time and time again and say that the children will go to hell because of their mortal sins and their willfulness, their unrepented mortal sins. What can I do? I'm one person, one person I keep seeing Mary and she keeps saying the children will go to hell, the children will go to hell for their mortal sins. You must help me. You must help me. Jesus said on the way of the cross "weep not for Me but, for yourselves and your children." Are we blind do we not see the children in the world this day? Do we not see that tonight we celebrate Halloween and the devil and all its goblins are out there! Not a word about Jesus, all the little children parading around like little devils. Jesus hung on the cross to His death that we could be saved. The devil is prowling the earth and He wants our youth. Mary is appearing and she is saying children will go to hell. Look at your children, these are my children, she says, will you help me, will you help me, will you spread the message of my Son's love? Can you see the face of Mary? Can you hear her call out, can you say "no" to her? Do you hear her at Fatima say that we need to consecrate our hearts daily, to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Look what happened because they would not listen to the Fatima message.

    From Our Lady's Apparitions at Fatima

July 13, 1917

    "During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

    "You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

    "The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. ⁽¹²⁾

    "To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

    "But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." ⁽¹³⁾

12. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.4-5.
13. Ibid., p.5.

R. We need to follow the practice on the First Saturday and make reparation to her Immaculate Heart. The peace of the world depends on this, but our tongues are stuck in our mouths and we do not speak and we are afraid, self-focused, angry - even me I am afraid to hand out the Blue Book to somebody. I pray for the grace to hand Blue Books to somebody. I pray for the grace to hand Blue Books to the world, for the children of this world are suffering and in pain. They are being taught such vile things in schools and on television and they have no reference point at all to even come back to. They need to be taught to know the love of Jesus and Mary. They need to know Jesus is calling out. Tell them, tell them. Tell the children. Mary is calling. Tell the children. Jesus is calling. Tell these children they have a loving Mother.

Mary: Tell them about my Son, tell them, tell them, tell them.

R. I am one person these messages are not for me alone, I am a messenger and you have been called here to help me to deliver these messages to this world. Look at the children, do we see them, the ones sinning mortally and they could go to hell. Do we see children, rebelling, do we see what is going on at this moment. Do we know the suffering of Jesus and Mary and the souls that have rejected the love given to them. They can go to hell for their sins. Let us pray daily to the Holy Spirit to have the fearlessness of the apostles. Let us see for ever before our face, Jesus as He hung on the cross, let us look at the wounds in His hands and in His feet and in His side the holes in His head the blood as it teams down His face, let us stand beneath the cross of Jesus after we walk, the walk in the stations and see the love that He has. Go out. Look at the children in this world today. How can we stand by, help me that's all I pray, I pray that someone helps me to circulate these rosaries and these messages to the children for my heart is in such pain. To take it to the schools, messages without messages just the words that Jesus is with us. He is longing for the love of the children. The children are our hope. Jesus said "reach the children and you will reach the world." Children are full of energy and many do not know about Jesus. Many children do not even know how to pray, I am sick, I am sick and I am one person, I see Jesus and I stand beneath the cross. I kiss His feet on the crucifix - I kiss His wounds, the wounds in His feet. Mary, the Mother of the children calls out, "my little lost children will be condemned and will go to hell for their mortal sins and their willfulness."

2. R. The Mass is so glorious, the Father is so loving, the Holy Spirit fills us with fire in our breasts and we feel the burning love of God within our chests. We are afraid many times to go out and to speak, Jesus is truly present in the tabernacle. See Jesus His arms outstretched with His hands pierced, and His feet pierced and His head crowned with thorns. There are crucifixes all around us, dear Holy Spirit give us the fearlessness to do the work that the Father has intended us to do and help us to reach the children.

3. Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son Jesus and my heart was torn within my chest as I watched His face covered with blood His hands pierced His feet pierced and my heart, in such anguish for the children that would lose their souls because of their mortal sins. I am Mary your Mother and I am begging you to help me to reach the children with these messages, messages of my Son, Jesus. Help us, help us, to lead the children to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Help us to lead the children to the rosary. To know about God you must ask Him for His knowledge and love. You must seek God my sweet, sweet children. You must reach the children of this world. I am Mary your Mother and I am calling out to you to reach the children of this world.

4. R. You can see before you smart children, nasty children picking on children or you can see children before you their hands folded and going to Jesus and telling Jesus of their love. Will children go to Jesus and tell Him of their love when no one is telling them about Jesus and His burning love. Jesus is speaking to us here. Mary His Mother has appeared over and over and over again and has asked us to reach the children. Children need to know about the rosary and the Eucharist and the Mass and the tabernacle, will you help me reach the children?

5. Song: Little Child

6. R. How can we look at the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Jesus' Heart is surrounded with thorns. There is a cross above it with the lance mark on the side. See the Heart of Mary, how can we live and know what we know about the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and watch little children have hardened hearts at such an early age. How could they ever turn to God if they're not being told about Jesus and the Eucharist, about their Mother, about the Holy Spirit, about the rosary.

7. R. Mary stood beneath the cross of her Son and her heart was torn within her chest for she knew of all the little lost children that would go to hell because they sinned mortally and didn't care.

8. R. We teach the children about safe sex but do we teach the children about God and the commandments of God.

9. Jesus: Unless the messages of My burning love are circulated within the members of My Church the bloodshed will continue. I am Jesus and I am calling out to you to help Me to spread these messages to this world to help spread the Second Blue Book to the priest and the religious to tell them of My burning love and to reach the children and to pray as you have never prayed before. To come to the Eucharist with a heart that is holy. As you unite deeper and deeper to Me your prayers will become stronger and stronger. You are My soldiers. You are My lights, that I am sending out to light up the darkened world, My apostles, I am calling out to you. Reach the children and you will reach the world.

10. Jesus: I am calling you to pray for your priests and your religious pray for the priests and give them these messages, for when the priests come to the tabernacle, when they spend one hour a day in adoration then their lives will be focused on Jesus.

Mary Cries for the Children

Mary: My messenger suffered great anguish and joy from my Lourdes Grotto at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church. On October 31, 1995, I cried out in pain for my little children. Give them my book of rosaries rather than violent games. Teach them to pray and love from their hearts.

I love you so much, I am your Mother Mary.
