Mary has requested that the daily message be given each day to the world. It is read nightly at the prayer service from her Image Building in Clearwater, Florida, U.S.A. This is according to her request. All attempts will be made to publish this daily message to the world at 11 p.m. Eastern time, U.S.A. We acknowledge that the final authority regarding these messages rests with the Holy See of Rome.

October 9, 1998

Messenger: The Church is one body, all must exist under the authority of the Holy Father. All must live to be under Christ's feet, He is the head of the body. There cannot be pride and willfulness in the body, every cardinal, bishop, and priest must take their orders from the King, they must act in His name.

All power and authority are from Him. Those under Him receive power and authority from Him. No individual church can disconnect from the main body. No individual church can obey only some of the rules set by the Holy Father and the basic rules of the Church and make up some of their own. They must follow the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ, Chief Shepherd of the Flock. They hear His voice and they follow Him. In the book of Revelation we hear the words at the end of each section when He speaks to the seven Churches. "Whoever has ears ought to hear what the Spirit says to the Churches." This is repeated after every section, Chapter 2 and 3, as He speaks to the seven Churches. It is repeated in some form.

Mary is the Mother of the Church and the Holy Spirit works in conjunction with her as He guides and leads the Church. The more we are grafted onto the vine Who is Christ, the more we will bear great fruit.

The Church is to bring forth the fruit for the Kingdom. The Church is to bear children that are children living according to the Fathers' will.

Christ is the New Adam, Mary the New Eve. Christ is the head, the Church His bride. In chapter 19 of Revelation, we read the Victory Song:

The angel said, 'Write this, "Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb,"' and he added, 'These words of God are true.'

Messenger: Lazarus was raised by Our Lord from the dead.

We see how Christ walked the bitter Passion through persecution and suffering, finally to mount the cross and die and be placed in the tomb. It was on that third day He came forth victorious as He rose from the dead.

We see a Church in the state of becoming a pilgrim church, and we hear the words in Revelation.

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.

Messenger: I see this great age when the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and He will be the King of all hearts and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and she will be the Queen of all hearts, Mary the Co-redemptrix and Mediatrix of all grace.

I see the people dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and living every second of their lives interceding through her Immaculate Heart. They will help bring down great grace on the earth because of the purity of their prayers through her intercession.

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. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.

Messenger: The Church and the world cry aloud. There is such spiritual starvation. The food is the Bread of Life to fill the soul.

And the whole community of Israelites began complaining about Moses and Aaron in the desert and said to them, 'Why did we not die at Yahweh's hand in Egypt, where we used to sit round the flesh pots and could eat to our heart's content! As it is, you have led us into this desert to starve this entire assembly to death!'

Yahweh then said to Moses, 'Look, I shall rain down bread for you from the heavens. Each day the people must go out and collect their ration for the day; I propose to test them in this way to see whether they will follow my law or not.

Messenger: My God, how blind indeed we are.

I quote from Matthew 15:13-14.

He replied, 'Any plant my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Leave them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind; and if one blind person leads another, both will fall into a pit.'

Messenger: God gives to us the Bread of Life, His own Body and Blood, and we grumble and complain. We are hungry, that is why there is so much sin in this world. The blind are leading the blind. Our directions come from Him and His Word. Our directions are found in the 10 Commandments. Our directions are given and we do not hear the voice of the Good Shepherd as He speaks to us.

He is the Chief Shepherd of the Flock. For several weeks before I received the Blue Book messages in September 1991, I heard Jesus say constantly "Feed the hungry." I heard this over and over again for 6 weeks day and night. Then Jesus began giving me the messages telling me about the Eucharist and telling me to come to Him before the tabernacle. He wanted me to circulate His love letters to a hungry world and Church.

Slowly the bodies of knowledge converged into a oneness in which the love of the Sacred Heart was the main subject of these writings: the Reign of the Sacred Heart, the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart and praying that there may be the holiest priests. It was revealed to us the immense importance of this mission in helping to bring about the completion of the mission Mary began at Fatima.

I say this to you today, the earth is as a desert land and the souls of the earth are grumbling to be fed, for they are suffering famine of the heart and soul.

God gives us the Bread of Life, and He wants us to love Him and each other. We do not realize the great gift God gives to us. We are locked in tombs of our own making because we hold on so tight to our own wills.

We will be free when we hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and listen to Him. His directions are given. We must obey them.

All authority comes from Him.

Every church must be so connected to the Pope. All pastors must strive to operate as shepherds of the flock. All must listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd and follow His lead.

All must be willing to lay down their lives for their flock.

The directions come from above. The directions do not come from the people, they come from the Creator, through the authority of the Church.

We must see the line of power and authority coming from Him. We are His servants serving the King.

There is the other ruler who wishes to have souls for hell. There is a battle between God's Kingdom and the devil's kingdom.

There are truly angels and devils. We are one body in the Church. All must stay connected.

Jesus speaks: My chosen ones,

I have delivered this writing for you this day of October 9, 1998. In the end what will permeate the Age of the Sacred Heart is living in the Father's will. This is your goal. There is Adam and Eve, there is the New Adam and the New Eve, your goal is to be transformed, living in great oneness with God, dwelling in the Hearts of the New Adam and the New Eve. Transformed in your hearts in living according to the Father's will, you bring forth great fruit.

My children, I am bleeding for the souls of this earth. Your Mother wails aloud bringing forth the children that are from the tainted seed of Eve. They hide their faults and lie to themselves. All willfulness will be stamped out. There is but one plan for this earth, it is the Father's plan for man to live in harmony according to God's will. When there are many plans at work and disharmony, when there is division in the hearts, it is because of willfulness and lack of honoring proper lines of authority or misuse of authority by those in authority.

Through consecration all will be united into one fold. Through consecration and dwelling in Our Hearts there will be men all living together in one mind and one heart. There will not be "bumping of heads." Satan works in pride and control and wanting to cause hatred and competition among brothers. I give you the directions that you must live by. I give you the Bread of Life. You are locked in tombs of your own making, I call out to you "Come out of your tombs, come out." I ask you to study this message presented on the internet September 24, 1998 . This message is from Ascension Thursday 1998. A study of the message, Ascension Thursday 1995, and the following scripture quotes will help you.

The Raising of Lazarus John 11:1-45

The Empty Tomb John 20:1

The Manner of the Resurrection 1 Corinthians 15:35-58

Revelation 3:1-6

Jesus answered them:

I am the bread of life.
No one who comes to me will ever hunger;
no one who believes in me will ever thirst.

Then the Jews started arguing among themselves, 'How can this man give us his flesh to eat?' Jesus replied to them:

In all truth I tell you,
if you do not eat
    the flesh of the Son of man
and drink his blood,
you have no life in you.
Anyone who does eat my flesh
    and drink my blood
has eternal life,
and I shall raise that person up
    on the last day.
For my flesh is real food
and my blood is real drink.
Whoever eats my flesh
    and drinks my blood
lives in me
and I live in that person.
As the living Father sent me
and I draw life from the Father,
so whoever eats me
    will also draw life from me.
This is the bread
    which has come down from heaven;
it is not like the bread our ancestors ate:
they are dead,
but anyone who eats this bread
    will live for ever.

Jesus speaks: My beloved ones, help Me that men will know My love, that they will pray and live as the Father intends them to live according to the 10 Commandments and living by the Word, loving God and loving one another.

I am Jesus, I give you My Body and My Blood. Pray that the Blood of Jesus is spread on you that you are protected from the evil one.

I love you, Jesus
