Messenger:
Fear of authority ––
children who grew up in alcoholic dysfunctional
homes have fear of authority many times
Many become reactors instead of
actors.
A child grew up in an alcoholic home
where birthday cakes were thrown
on the floor and many experiences
caused the child in adulthood
to not want to celebrate birthdays ––
they were tense, argumentative
and a movie from the past
played in their head, with the
new players.
The unpredictability of the alcoholic is known to children
of alcoholics or spouses of alcoholics –– reactors
instead of actors.
A wife can become the "holier than thou"
person, she can become very sick
herself living as a reactor to the
alcoholic and not even recognize
her sick dependent behavior.
The word for alcoholics in many homes
in secrecy –– another play ground for
the devil –– truth is not spoken ––
some things are said, some things
hidden, games of manipulation ––
hiding things –– sometimes little
clicks talk openly about the
guy who is the "scapegoat".
"Scapegoats" have wounds they
react to many times in unrelated
relationships in later life. A child that was
sincerely criticized can go back into
those locked up feelings of inadequacy
sometimes at the slightest criticism or
direction.
The rule in alcoholic homes, many
times is secretism –– don't ever
tell anyone these weird things happened.
Look "per-fect" to all outside the home.
The alcoholic denies he is
an alcoholic most of the time.
The enabler lives a life,
many times of rescuing and
spending all their energy
as a reactor to the alcoholic.
People who have had many experiences
locked in childhood do not even
realize sometimes how dysfunctionally
they respond to others.
A person who had a stern mother
that hurt them may see their
role as mothering everyone else
in an attempt to work out their
own problems –– trying to make those
around them codependent on them.
Do you know the person who had to
protect their own children from
the alcoholic bouts of their spouse,
now scans the room in every situation ––
looking for a corner of someone's mouth
to look "disgruntled" and then
reacts trying to protect all others
from the person they assume is
angry when in fact they may have
elimination problems.
Children who grew up in abusive or
violent homes can have all kinds
of dysfunctional patterns.
Codependency amongst healthy adults
is a curse.
The rescuers, the one who saves, the
one who is needy.
A woman was in charge, the man
under her controlled her emotionally ––
like moves on a football field ––
the dysfunctional person can hammer
away –– making moves to get those
closest to them to live in their
dysfunctional play ––
new house, same old family,
different players.
Many children of alcoholics learn to be
reactors –– instead of actors ––
this is the devil's play-ground ––
the devil prompts someone to act
a certain way ––
the person complies ––
and like a green light the dysfunctional
person is led into all kinds of
moves that is a spin off from
the past.
They may be the little "scapegoat"
all over again ––
They may shake in their legs from
an abusive, strong parent
And all a person in authority did
was to give a direction ––
Children who have had strong mothers
or fathers may fear all women
or men who are strong or authoritative.
Someone with a strong dad or husband
may tense at the sign of a male
approaching them ––
Or someone with a strong mom may
do all kinds of dysfunctional
things to keep themselves from
obeying woman authority.
The seven capital sins and the weaknesses
of human nature can further complicate
matters as people deny, jealousy,
anger, pride etc.
The person is like the man in the
tomb wrapped up like a
mummy –– the wraps of
those dysfunctional ways
must fall off around them ––
as we struggle with tendencies
toward sin to emerge to be
more Christ-like.
Christ came as a baby ––
Now we see the finding in the temple
and Mary called out to me when she
appeared that her children
are being lost to the fires of
hell.
The incarnation goes on in us.
Man is to be molded more in the
image of Christ.
How can we do this if we fail
to meditate on the lives of
Jesus and Mary?
Jesus is the head of the Church.
John the Baptist was beheaded.
Look at the sins of pride.
How can we be the leaders
of renewal and fail to look
at the wrapped up body
ignoring our dysfunction and
sinfulness.
But if the alcoholic is sick, the
one who is his spouse and children
need recovery. For they lived in
dysfunction ––
Where others lived in, normal loving
interacting relationships ––
they were taught to live as
reactors instead of actors in
mostly a life of secrecy ––
hiding the dysfunctional
home life.
A brick on the back of a baby.
Unaware of the lessons taught at
early childhood about trust
and feelings and honest
communication to have the truth
known and work on problems.
Children taught to hide feelings ––
"don't cry around me", even though
they may have chipped a tooth ––
fallen off a bike or
down a flight of stairs.
When other moms and dads took the
children to ball practice,
First Communion
etc –– that poor child had to deal with
the alcoholic in silence and secretiveness
Smiling beneath tears –– telling themselves
to hide their feelings –– keep secrets ––
BE DYSFUNCTIONAL
Authority was scary
One moment mom or dad may be loving
promising a bike ride in the park ––
next they were drunk and not
fulfilling the promise.
Promises were broken ––
hearts hurt ––
over and over again –– the child,
spouse etc. –– learns not to
trust in an atmosphere that is to
be conducive to oneness and love.
Jesus speaks:
Oh the hidden wounds ––
the robbed childhoods ––
the codependent spouse that never
went to any recovery ––
the life lived in secret and nobody
ever knew on the outside ––
I come to you ––
Coming forth from the tomb
in a glistening garb ––
radiant in light ––
I showed you My glorified wounds ––
I showed you how I love you and
give you a sharing in My life.
I am the way, the truth and the life.
I am the sinless one ––
I am God ––
Mary is your Mother ––
the sinless one ––
the one all pure
WE ARE YOUR MODEL
Oh My People you do
not recognize Me in the breaking
of the bread ––
Many have made their bodies,
their money, their fame,
their god.
Like Moses who came down from
the mountain –– I send a
messenger and you in your
pride –– wrapped in your
rags ignore her.
I am God I speak to you ––
you –– many of you are prideful ––
holier than thou –– reach for
the sun, but do not
touch it ––
your fingers are burned from the
fingers that grab for earthly
treasures ––
I am a God of justice
Here are the 7 capital sins
7 Capital sins
1.
Pride
2. Greed
3. Envy
4. Wrath
5. Lust
6. Gluttony
7. Sloth
Numbers 12: 1-10
Miriam, and Aaron too, criticised Moses
over the Cushite woman he had married. He had indeed married a Cushite
woman. They said, ‘Is Moses the only one through whom Yahweh
has spoken? Has he not spoken through us too?’ Yahweh heard this. Now
Moses was extremely humble, the humblest man on earth.
Suddenly Yahweh said to Moses, Aaron and
Miriam, ‘Come out, all three of you, to the Tent of Meeting.’ They
went, all three of them, and Yahweh descended in a pillar of
cloud and stood at the entrance of the Tent. He called Aaron and Miriam
and they both came forward. Yahweh said:
Listen to my words!
if
there is a prophet among you,
I reveal myself to him in a vision,
I speak
to him in a dream.
Not so with my servant Moses;
to him my
whole household
is entrusted;
to him I speak face to face,
plainly and not in riddles,
and he sees Yahweh’s form.
How, then, could
you dare
to criticise my servant Moses?
Yahweh’s anger was
aroused by them. He went away, and as soon as the cloud left
the Tent, there was Miriam covered with a virulent skin–disease, white
as snow! Aaron turned to look at her and saw that she had contracted a
virulent skin–disease.
Genesis 4: 3-10
Time passed and Cain brought some of the produce of the
soil as an offering for Yahweh, while Abel for his part brought the
first–born of his flock and some of their fat as well. Yahweh looked
with favour on Abel and his offering. But he did not look with favour on
Cain and his offering, and Cain was very angry and downcast. Yahweh asked
Cain, ‘Why are you angry and downcast? If you are doing right, surely
you ought to hold your head high! But if you are not doing right, Sin is
crouching at the door hungry to get you. You can still master him.’ Cain
said to his brother Abel, ‘Let us go out’; and while they were in the
open country, Cain set on his brother Abel and killed him.
Yahweh asked Cain, ‘Where is your
brother Abel?’ ‘I do not know,’ he replied. ‘Am I my brother’s
guardian?’ ‘What have you done?’ Yahweh asked. ‘Listen! Your
brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.
Genesis Chapter 3
Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals
that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, 'Did God really say you were
not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?' The woman answered the
snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of
the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it,
nor touch it, under pain of death." ' Then the snake said to the woman,
'No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes
will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.' The woman
saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was
enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit
and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate
it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they
were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves
loin-cloths.
The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking
in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the
trees of the garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. 'Where are you?' he
asked. 'I heard the sound of you in the garden,' he replied. 'I was afraid
because I was naked, so I hid.' 'Who told you that you were naked?' he
asked. 'Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?' The man
replied, 'It was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the
tree, and I ate it.' Then Yahweh God said to the woman, 'Why did you do
that?' The woman replied, 'The snake tempted me and I ate.'
Then Yahweh God said to the snake, 'Because you have done
this,
Accursed be you
of all animals wild and tame!
On your belly you will go
and on dust you will feed
as long as you live.
I shall put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
it will bruise your head
and you will strike its heel.'
To the woman he said:
I shall give you intense pain
in childbearing,
you will give birth to your children
in pain.
Your yearning will be for your husband,
and he will dominate you.
To the man he said, 'Because you listened to the voice of
your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,
Accursed be the soil because of you!
Painfully will you get your food from it
as long as you live.
It will yield you brambles and thistles,
as you eat the produce of the land.
By the sweat of your face
will you earn you food,
until you return to the ground,
as you were taken from it.
For dust you are
and to dust you shall return.
The man named his wife 'Eve' because she was the mother of
all those who live. Yahweh God made tunics of skins for the man and his wife
and clothed them. Then Yahweh God said, 'Now that the man has become like
one of us in knowing good from evil, he must not be allowed to reach out his
hand and pick from the tree of life too, and eat and live for ever!' So
Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which
he had been taken. He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden
he posted the great winged creatures and the fiery flashing sword, to guard
the way to the tree of life.
Genesis 37: 3-4, 12-28
Jacob loved Joseph more than all his other sons,
for he was the son of his old age, and he had a decorated tunic made for him. But
his brothers, seeing how much more his father loved him than all his other sons,
came to hate him so much that they could not say a civil word to him.
His brothers went to pasture their father’s flock at Shechem. Then
Israel said to Joseph, ‘Your brothers are with the flock at Shechem, aren’t
they? Come, I am going to send you to them.’ ‘I am ready,’ he replied. He
said to him, ‘Go and see how your brothers and the flock are doing, and bring
me word.’ He sent him from the valley of Hebron, and Joseph arrived at
Shechem.
A man found him wandering in the countryside and asked him,
‘What are you looking for ? ’ ‘I am looking for my brothers,’
he replied. ‘Please tell me where they are pasturing their flock.’ The
man answered, ‘They have moved on from here; indeed I heard them say,
"Let us go to Dothan." ’ So Joseph went after his brothers and found
them at Dothan.
They saw him in the distance, and before he reached
them they made a plot to kill him. ‘Here comes that dreamer,’
they said to one another. ‘Come on, let us kill him now and throw
him down one of the storage–wells; we can say that some wild animal has
devoured him. Then we shall see what becomes of his dreams.’
But
Reuben heard, and he saved him from their clutches. ‘We must not take his
life,’ he said. ‘Shed no blood,’ said Reuben to them, ‘throw
him down that well out in the desert, but do not kill him yourselves’—intending
to save him from them and to restore him to his father. So, when
Joseph reached his brothers, they pulled off his tunic, the decorated tunic
which he was wearing, and catching hold of him, threw him into the
well. The well was empty, with no water in it. They then sat down to
eat.
Looking up, they saw a group of Ishmaelites who were coming from Gilead,
their camels laden with gum tragacanth, balsam and resin, which they were taking
to Egypt. Then Judah said to his brothers, ‘What do we gain by
killing our brother and covering up his blood? Come, let us sell him
to the Ishmaelites, then we shall not have laid hands on him ourselves. After
all, he is our brother, and our own flesh.’ His brothers agreed.
Now
some Midianite merchants were passing, and they pulled Joseph out of the well.
They sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver, and these men
took Joseph to Egypt.
Daniel 13: 5-63
Two elderly men had been selected from the people, that year, to
act as judges. Of such the Lord had said, ‘Wickedness has come to Babylon
through the elders and judges posing as guides to the people.’ These
men were often at Joakim’s house, and all who were engaged in litigation used
to come to them. At midday, when the people had gone away, Susanna
would take a walk in her husband’s garden. The two elders, who used
to watch her every day as she came in to take her walk, gradually began to
desire her. They threw reason aside, making no effort to turn their
eyes to Heaven, and forgetting the demands of virtue. Both were
inflamed by passion for her, but they hid their desire from each other, for
they were ashamed to admit the longing to sleep with her, but they
made sure of watching her every day. One day, having parted with the
words, ‘Let us go home, then, it is time for the midday meal,’ they went off
in different directions, only to retrace their steps and find
themselves face to face again. Obliged then to explain, they admitted their
desire and agreed to look for an opportunity of surprising her alone. So
they waited for a favourable moment; and one day Susanna came as usual,
accompanied only by two young maidservants. The day was hot and she wanted to
bathe in the garden. There was no one about except the two elders,
spying on her from their hiding place. She said to the servants, ‘Bring
me some oil and balsam and shut the garden door while I bathe.’ They
did as they were told, shutting the garden door and going back to the house by a
side entrance to fetch what she had asked for; they knew nothing about the
elders, for they had concealed themselves.
Hardly were the maids
gone than the two elders sprang up and rushed upon her. ‘Look,’
they said, ‘the garden door is shut, no one can see us. We want to have you,
so give in and let us! Refuse, and we shall both give evidence that
a young man was with you and that this was why you sent your maids away.’ Susanna
sighed. ‘I am trapped,’ she said, ‘whatever I do. If I agree, it means
death for me; if I resist, I cannot get away from you. But I prefer
to fall innocent into your power than to sin in the eyes of the Lord.’ She
then cried out as loud as she could. The two elders began shouting too, putting
the blame on her, and one of them ran to open the garden door. The
household, hearing the shouting in the garden, rushed out by the side entrance
to see what had happened to her. Once the elders had told their
story, the servants were thoroughly taken aback, since nothing of this sort had
ever been said of Susanna.
Next day a meeting was held at the house
of her husband Joakim. The two elders arrived, full of their wicked plea against
Susanna, to have her put to death. They addressed the company, ‘Summon
Susanna daughter of Hilkiah and wife of Joakim.’ She was sent for, and
came accompanied by her parents, her children and all her relations. Susanna
was very graceful and beautiful to look at; she was veiled, so the
wretches made her unveil in order to feast their eyes on her beauty. All
her own people were weeping, and so were all the others who saw her. The
two elders stood up, with all the people round them, and laid their hands on her
head. Tearfully she turned her eyes to Heaven, her heart confident
in God. The elders then spoke, ‘While we were walking by ourselves
in the garden, this woman arrived with two maids. She shut the garden door and
then dismissed the servants. A young man, who had been hiding, went
over to her and they lay together. From the end of the garden where
we were, we saw this crime taking place and hurried towards them. Though
we saw them together, we were unable to catch the man: he was too strong for us;
he opened the door and took to his heels. We did, however, catch
this woman and ask her who the young man was. She refused to tell
us. That is our evidence.’
Since they were elders of the people and judges,
the assembly accepted their word: Susanna was condemned to death. She
cried out as loud as she could, ‘Eternal God, you know all secrets and
everything before it happens; you know that they have given false
evidence against me. And now I must die, innocent as I am of everything their
malice has invented against me!’
The Lord heard her cry and,
as she was being led away to die, he roused the holy spirit residing in a young
boy called Daniel who began to shout, ‘I am innocent of this woman’s
death!’ At this all the people turned to him and asked, ‘What do
you mean by that?’ Standing in the middle of the crowd, he
replied, ‘Are you so stupid, children of Israel, as to condemn a daughter of
Israel unheard, and without troubling to find out the truth? Go back
to the scene of the trial: these men have given false evidence against her.’
All
the people hurried back, and the elders said to Daniel, ‘Come and sit with us
and tell us what you mean, since God has given you the gifts that elders have.’ Daniel
said, ‘Keep the men well apart from each other, for I want to question them.’ When
the men had been separated, Daniel had one of them brought to him. ‘You have
grown old in wickedness,’ he said, ‘and now the sins of your earlier days
have overtaken you, you with your unjust judgements, your
condemnation of the innocent, your acquittal of the guilty, although the Lord
has said, "You must not put the innocent and upright to death." Now
then, since you saw her so clearly, tell me what sort of tree you saw them lying
under.’ He replied, ‘Under an acacia tree.’ Daniel said, ‘Indeed!
Your lie recoils on your own head: the angel of God has already received from
him your sentence and will cut you in half.’ He dismissed the man,
ordered the other to be brought and said to him, ‘Son of Canaan, not of Judah,
beauty has seduced you, lust has led your heart astray! This is how
you have been behaving with the daughters of Israel, and they have been too
frightened to resist; but here is a daughter of Judah who could not stomach your
wickedness! Now then, tell me what sort of tree you surprised them
under.’ He replied, ‘Under an aspen tree.’ Daniel said, ‘Indeed!
Your lie recoils on your own head: the angel of God is waiting with a sword to
rend you in half, and destroy the pair of you.’ Then the whole
assembly shouted, blessing God, the Saviour of those who trust in him. And
they turned on the two elders whom Daniel had convicted of false evidence out of
their own mouths. As the Law of Moses prescribes, they were given
the same punishment as they had schemed to inflict on their neighbour. They were
put to death. And thus, that day, an innocent life was saved. Hilkiah
and his wife gave thanks to God for their daughter Susanna, and so did her
husband Joakim and all his relations, because she had been acquitted of anything
dishonourable.
Luke 23: 39-43
One of the criminals hanging there abused
him: ‘Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us as well.’ But
the other spoke up and rebuked him. ‘Have you no fear of God at all?’
he said. ‘You got the same sentence as he did, but in our
case we deserved it: we are paying for what we did. But this man has done
nothing wrong.’ Then he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when you
come into your kingdom.’ He answered him, ‘In truth I tell
you, today you will be with me in paradise.’

My loved ones scattered when
I suffered death.
Messenger:
God gives us love today ––
He gives us the people who
surround us ––
Always wanting love from
someplace we aren't
getting it, can ignore
the love we are getting
by those around us and
lead us to great unhappiness
I have so many days on this
earth ––
Why waste the few I have ––
Praying for those we love deeply
and cannot be with is the
best help for them ––
We want the salvation of
their souls and all in
our family.
Praying can help this.
Excerpt from October 1, 2004 message
Messenger:
Well it was now September 26, 2004 and
wind blew the tops of the palms
sideways as I watched the gulf look
so strong. The experience makes me want
to cry every time I think of it. It was
very scary watching it all. I haven't
written since because Our Lord did not
give me anything.
We finally drove in the hurricane to
evacuate and most of the street lights
were out –– there were many wrecks because
of the darkness.
It was an experience. I realized that
I left many things behind because in
the darkness I could not see, one thing
was my cell phone and shoes and chargers
for the phones.
We went down 5 flights of stairs
while the hurricane raged with those
things we needed to take because the
stairs in the building were wet and
completely dark. The wind was ferrous.
When we arrived at a different location ––
the hurricane was just as strong there and
the cars were covered like cement from
the sand. All my credit cards blew across
the parking lot as I felt I would be
blown from my feet....
Messenger:
Well on September 27, 2004 the gulf was calm ––
like a little baby –– the sky was blue,
the wind barely blew.
It reminded me of a furious angry person
on Sunday and then the beach looked
like a seductive party –– so beautiful,
so calm, so playful on Monday.

October 1, 2004
My dear friends,
I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with
you
in love. In these troubled times of the election and war
and wonders of peace — we have suffered many hurricanes
since Mary's image head was knocked off.
Florida appeared
to be squeezed like a wet wash cloth
August 13, 2004 a hurricane, September 5, 2004 another hurricane,
September 13, 2004 another hurricane. Jesus sent me to Florida last
Thursday to take the path across Florida, 60 and 70 to bless
the state before the hurricane. It was terrible — I was on
the west side all through it. On September 5th I was in the building
in Clearwater and on August 13, 2004 the hurricane was averted as
we prayed in China.
Mary's message of peace must be sent to the
priests.
A Jesuit with the blessing of his provincial and his rector has
completed the Priestly Newsletter — he studied in Rome and can
teach in the Pontifical Colleges — The Newsletter is literally a
work of art dedicated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary based on
the Word and the writings of the Church. It will be a special
issue and surprise to you. It is ready to go to 75,000 priests.
We need at least $7,000 for the postage in the United States and
then the foreign mailing. It can really help the world in
these decisive times before the election.
October 13, 2004 is the 87th anniversary of
Mary's last apparition
at Fatima. We need to make reparation to God for how Mary's
image was destroyed. We are about to put protection over Jesus'
face which is costly. Please we desperately need your help to do this.
MARY IS THE QUEEN OF PEACE — spreading the consecration
to the 2 Hearts to 75,000 priests can help the peace of this world.
LOVE in Their Hearts, Rita
October 1, 2004
We
have had many trials in

.
Mary appeared 7 years every day before her image head was knocked off.
We pray from
Clearwater
and all our centers for the priests the Church and the world united on the
internet and with many others.

Words of Jesus to Members of Shepherds of Christ
Associates:
"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the
priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds
of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and
the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds
of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My
Heart and My Mother's Heart.
"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of
Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use
them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart
and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds
of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and
to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy
Spirit."

Pray For The
Success Of The Priestly Newsletter - Shepherds of Christ
Messenger: The following is the first official
message I received before the statue of Mary at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit
Center. It is a personal message for Father Carter.
Mary speaks: (in front of the glowing statue of Our
Lady of Sorrows) I am the Immaculate Heart. My Heart is glowing for love of
all my beloved children. I am your most loving Mother. I am with you this day.
Pray for the success of the priestly newsletter Shepherds of Christ. I am
guarding your way. You will receive such graces to accomplish this task! Grace
from God is so abundantly bestowed on you and will lead to the success of this
endeavor! Pray for this cause at the Center. The priests will lead the people
to the love of My beloved Son. This is no little task. It will take many
prayers and graces. Pray hard, little one. Your prayers will change many
hearts.
I am Mary, your Immaculate Mother. I bring this message to
My beloved priest-son.

message
God
the Father speaks:
I sent Mary as a messenger to
you --
You ignored her
You defaced the rainbow image
Remember Noah's arch --
Remember the sign of the rainbow
Genesis
9: 12-15
And this’, God said, ‘is the sign of the covenant which I now make
between myself and you and every living creature with you for all ages
to come: I now set my bow in the clouds and it will be the sign of
the covenant between me and the earth. When I gather the clouds over the
earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I shall recall the covenant
between myself and you and every living creature, in a word all living
things, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all
living things.
God
the Father speaks:
I sent the rainbow 1996.
Florida
has had to deal
with many hurricanes
and floods.
I am God the Father -- you refuse to
listen to Mary. …
This is My sign sent to you --
the sign of the rainbow
You will not listen --
peace is found in
listening to Mary
Mary's
Peace Plan
1.
Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus
and Mary ––
until a sufficient number of people make and live the
consecration, we will not have peace in the world.
2.
Praying the rosary.
3.
Observing the First Saturday Devotion.
4.
Making reparation to the Hearts of
Jesus and Mary.
God
the Father speaks:
I want the Newsletter
sent out.
Please help Me.
This, Shepherds of Christ, is My Son's
Movement.
I am God the Father.
