Luke 20: 27-38

Some Sadducees-those who argue that there is no resurrection-approached him and they put this question to him, 'Master, Moses prescribed for us, if a man's married brother dies childless, the man must marry the widow to raise up children for his brother. Well then, there were seven brothers; the first, having married a wife, died childless. The second and then the third married the widow. And the same with all seven, they died leaving no children. Finally the woman herself died. Now, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be, since she had been married to all seven?'

    Jesus replied, 'The children of this world take wives and husbands, but those who are judged worthy of a place in the other world and in the resurrection from the dead do not marry because they can no longer die, for they are the same as the angels, and being children of the resurrection they are children of God. And Moses himself implies that the dead rise again, in the passage about the bush where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. Now he is God, not of the dead, but of the living; for to him everyone is alive.'

 

1 Corinthians 15: 12-14

    Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you be saying that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ cannot have been raised either, and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is without substance, and so is your faith.

 

  

                Our life will come to an end

                We must be prepared for it with
                    our faithfulness to Christ

                 Jesus came to say

John 10: 10

I have come so that they may have life and have it to the full. 

 

                We believe in the resurrection

                Before Christ many did not
                    believe in the resurrection

                The law of Moses
                    man dies
                    then a brother should marry
                    his brother's widow
                    if the brother dies

                Jesus did not tell us a lot
                    about how life would be in heaven

                We will get our body back —
                    our body will be a glorified body —
                    we will not have aches and pains

                The resurrection for us will be different
                    then we are here

                Christ came to show us the way
 

                We don't know it all
 

                We must to open to learn
                    what Christ has in store —
                    to know what we don't know
                    about the resurrected
                    body and heaven

Daniel 12: 1-3

‘At that time Michael will arise–the great Prince, defender of your people. That will be a time of great distress, unparalleled since nations first came into existence. When that time comes, your own people will be spared–all those whose names are found written in the Book.

‘Of those who are sleeping in the Land of Dust, many will awaken, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting disgrace. Those who are wise will shine as brightly as the expanse of the heavens, and those who have instructed many in uprightness, as bright as stars for all eternity.

Malachi 3: 19-20

    ‘For look, the Day is coming, glowing like a furnace. All the proud and all the evil–doers will be the stubble, and the Day, when it comes, will set them ablaze, says Yahweh Sabaoth, leaving them neither root nor branch. But for you who fear my name, the Sun of justice will rise with healing in his rays, and you will come out leaping like calves from the stall,

 

2 Thessalonians 3: 7-12

    You know how you should take us as your model: we were not undisciplined when we were with you, nor did we ever accept food from anyone without paying for it; no, we worked with unsparing energy, night and day, so as not to be a burden on any of you. This was not because we had no right to be, but in order to make ourselves a model for you to imitate. 

    We urged you when we were with you not to let anyone eat who refused to work. Now we hear that there are some of you who are living lives without any discipline, doing no work themselves but interfering with other people’s. In the Lord Jesus Christ, we urge and call on people of this kind to go on quietly working and earning the food that they eat.

 

Luke 21: 5-19

When some were talking about the Temple, remarking how it was adorned with fine stonework and votive offerings, he said, ‘All these things you are staring at now—the time will come when not a single stone will be left on another; everything will be destroyed.’ And they put to him this question, ‘Master,’ they said, ‘when will this happen, then, and what sign will there be that it is about to take place?’

But he said, ‘Take care not to be deceived, because many will come using my name and saying, "I am the one" and "The time is near at hand." Refuse to join them. And when you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be terrified, for this is something that must happen first, but the end will not come at once.’ Then he said to them, ‘Nation will fight against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes and plagues and famines in various places; there will be terrifying events and great signs from heaven.

    ‘But before all this happens, you will be seized and persecuted; you will be handed over to the synagogues and to imprisonment, and brought before kings and governors for the sake of my name—and that will be your opportunity to bear witness. Make up your minds not to prepare your defence, because I myself shall give you an eloquence and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to resist or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death. You will be hated universally on account of my name, but not a hair of your head will be lost. Your perseverance will win you your lives.

 

Ezekiel 34: 11-12, 15-17

    “For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it. As a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness.

I myself shall pasture my sheep, I myself shall give them rest–declares the Lord Yahweh. I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and make the sick strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd to them."

    “As for you, my sheep, the Lord Yahweh says this: I shall judge between sheep and sheep, between rams and he-goats.

  

                Sing song: Valleys of Green (Psalm 23)

  

Matthew 25: 31-46 

‘When the Son of man comes in his glory, escorted by all the angels, then he will take his seat on his throne of glory. All nations will be assembled before him and he will separate people one from another as the shepherd separates sheep from goats. He will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right hand, "Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take as your heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you made me welcome, lacking clothes and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me." Then the upright will say to him in reply, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome, lacking clothes and clothe you? When did we find you sick or in prison and go to see you?" And the King will answer, "In truth I tell you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me." Then he will say to those on his left hand, "Go away from me, with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you never gave me food, I was thirsty and you never gave me anything to drink, I was a stranger and you never made me welcome, lacking clothes and you never clothed me, sick and in prison and you never visited me." Then it will be their turn to ask, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty, a stranger or lacking clothes, sick or in prison, and did not come to your help?" Then he will answer, "In truth I tell you, in so far as you neglected to do this to one of the least of these, you neglected to do it to me." And they will go away to eternal punishment, and the upright to eternal life.’

   

Daniel 7: 13-14

I was gazing into the visions of the night, when I saw, coming on the clouds of heaven, as it were a son of man. He came to the One most venerable and was led into his presence. On him was conferred rule, honour and kingship, and all peoples, nations and languages became his servants. His rule is an everlasting rule which will never pass away, and his kingship will never come to an end.

 

Revelation 1: 5-8

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the First–born from the dead, the highest of earthly kings. He loves us and has washed away our sins with his blood, and made us a Kingdom of Priests to serve his God and Father; to him, then, be glory and power for ever and ever. Amen. Look, he is coming on the clouds; everyone will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the races of the earth will mourn over him. Indeed this shall be so. Amen. ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

 

John 18: 33-37

So Pilate went back into the Praetorium and called Jesus to him and asked him, ‘Are you the king of the Jews?’ Jesus replied, ‘Do you ask this of your own accord, or have others said it to you about me?’ Pilate answered, ‘Am I a Jew? It is your own people and the chief priests who have handed you over to me: what have you done?’ Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong here.’

 

Colossians 1: 12-20

giving thanks with joy to the Father who has made you able to share the lot of God's holy people and with them to inherit the light.

    Because that is what he has done. It is he who has rescued us from the ruling force of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son that he loves, and in him we enjoy our freedom, the forgiveness of sin.

He is the image of the unseen God,
the first–born of all creation,
for in him were created all things
in heaven and on earth:
everything visible
    and everything invisible,
thrones, ruling forces,
    sovereignties, powers—
all things were created through him
    and for him.
He exists before all things
and in him all things hold together,
and he is the Head of the Body,
that is, the Church.

He is the Beginning,
the first–born from the dead,
so that he should be supreme in every way;
because God wanted all fullness
    to be found in him
and through him
    to reconcile all things to him,
everything in heaven
    and everything on earth,
by making peace through his death
    on the cross.

    

Luke 23: 35-43

The people stayed there watching.  As for the leaders, they jeered at him with the words, 'He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.'  The soldiers mocked him too, coming up to him, offering him vinegar, and saying, 'If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.'  Above him there was an inscription: 'This is the King of the Jews'.

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.'

Excerpt from Priestly Newsletter 1998 - ISSUE FOUR

    Shortly before he was to die from cancer, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin left us these inspiring words about peace: "It is the first day of November, and fall is giving way to winter. Soon the trees will lose the vibrant colors of their leaves and snow will cover the ground. The earth will shut down, and people will race to and from their destinations bundled up for warmth. Chicago winters are harsh. It is a time of dying.

    "But we know that spring will soon come with all its new life and wonder.

    "It is quite clear that I will not be alive in the spring. But I will soon experience new life in a different way...

    "What I would like to leave behind is a simple prayer that each of you may find what I have foundGod's special gift to us all: the gift of peace. When we are at peace, we find the freedom to be most fully who we are, even in the worst of times. We let go of what is non-essential and embrace what is essential. We empty ourselves so that God may more fully work within us. And we become instruments in the hands of the Lord."

end of excerpt from Priestly Newsletter 1998 - ISSUE FOUR

  

 

                God

                    Open up my soul
                    That I will focus on You and Praise You
                    Alleluia
                    For the earth around me
                    Shows the autumn of the year
                    And I do not see the autumn of my life
                    As part of the Plan of the Father
                    Who wants to embrace me for all eternity

                    If I have not spent my days serving You Lord
                    Then now I can open my heart wide
                    And say this is the beginning of deeper life for me.

                    Little green apples
                    Can make you sick
                    Or they can nourish you

                Once I was a baby and God cared for my needs
                When the earth had moms and dads
                My mom was snacked at 5
                And then the heavens opened to me
                There was a casket and I had to learn fast
                The body only lasts a short while
                And then we die

                I felt lost and I found You God
                I looked at old window panes in the
                    Carson house
                I saw the beautiful designs of raindrops
                    fall against the old pane
                Such beauty I thought and I studied them
                They were tear drops from heaven
                Telling me that God was with me
                That heaven really was
                And mom was crying with joy and love
                    for me

                There was for me, such a reality of love
                    when I watched the rain drops from
                    that window at the top of the stairs
                    in my bedroom

                I had a warmth that what I suffered
                    in my soul told me of the reality
                    of mystery — heaven — the life beyond
                    where mom went

                I was always dealing with mystery — why
                    dad took it so hard — why the other
                    'kids' older than me looked lost
                    almost and yet I felt a stability
                    there as I watched what I believed
                    tears from heaven — a sign of its
                    mystery — a reality of life after
                    death for mom.

                I never once doubted she was alive —
                    even at 5 because that was all
                    they kept saying — mom's in heaven —
                I went in the basement in a dream
                    and the chest was big and brown and had a big
                    drawer at the bottom —
                    I remember seeing her laid out in
                        it like the coffin,

                But you know I think I was better than
                    the other 4 kids because I didn't
                    see her too long, just 5 years and
                    heaven became such a reality
                    to me at 5

                Right away my dad took us to church and
                    we went to Benediction twice
                    a week and everything else
                    There weren't too many kids
                    like me at church —

                Dad took us kids to the graveyard and he
                    talked about her and being in
                    heaven and he never let up —

                She was alive, I never really thought
                    of her dead — she just wasn't
                    in the Carson house, or at church
                    because she went every day

                My training for mysticism began then —
                    It is hard to explain how real
                    heaven was to me and how real
                    it was to me that she never died

                My dad was praying and always taking
                    us to church and it was a big
                    old church — high, high
                    ceilings and I could go there
                    and think about things above and
                    how real heaven was to me

                We had lots of pictures of Jesus and Mary
                    in my house — saints, crucifix —
                    the Sacred Heart on the calendar

                For me this life became temporary —
                    I felt mom was still alive somewhere
                    and my heart was really connected
                    to her

                My dad soon began the daily prayers —
                    but there was always a sadness
                    as if you missed something real
                    big, but she was away from
                    home and Jesus loved her so
                    much He took her

                When I made my first communion —
                    my dad was too nervous and didn't
                    go — my mom's death changed him —
                    he was afraid like, afraid of his health —
                    nervous — he spent a lot of time
                    in prayer —
                    he changed

                The 'kids' and I shared this great loss
                    so it made us real close even
                    though we never talked about
                    it — we prayed a lot

                My step-mom soon came, Rosella, and
                    brought a piano — they wouldn't let
                    me play until the second grade —
                    something like your fingers weren't
                    developed yet

                I was really shy from mom's death —
                    I was scared to go before people
                    I lived a lot being close inside to Jesus —

                I knew the interior life always after
                    her death —
                    heaven was real
                    suffering was real
                    I was afraid around people if I had
                        to go up before them

                Today in this world — there is so much
                    stimulation from the outside —
                    noise, sensation, stimulation
                    is a good word

                The quiet life for many, may give way
                    to being filled with what is
                    going on — not inside — but being
                    bombarded by outside untruths
                    on television, movies, people
                    living in this culture, in
                    this world — contaminated by
                    many untruths —

                My mom died when she was 48 of breast
                    cancer and Mary, my mother, began
                    appearing to me at 48 and Fr. Carter
                    had been a strong part of my life
                    for a very short time —
                    he came just one month before as
                    my spiritual director

                My sister, 3 years older than me, was a
                    sister 26 years for the Sisters of
                    Charity and in her 48th year — on the
                    Blessed Mother's birthday —
                    September 8, the day she entered the
                    convent 26 years before she
                    committed suicide

                What happens in all our lives are part of
                    the mystery that has lead us to answer
                    this call in the Shepherds of Christ

                When God took Fr. Carter December 18, 2000 —
                    after the 6:20 prayers — it was one
                    day since I did the 6:20 prayers
                    on the 4th anniversary of Mary's
                    visit at Clearwater December 17, 2000.
                    Mary was gold that night and Jesus'
                    face was there on the pictures, but
                    I would not see that until this
                    picture I took February 5, 2001 —

 

February 5, 2001
  

                I was busy sending the Newsletter —
                    Fr. Carter told me to send after
                    his death — he wanted to live —
                    He wanted the chemo to work —

                His whole focus at the end was seeing
                    Shepherds of Christ would continue —

                His focus before was pleasing our Lord
                    and making Shepherds of Christ work

                I was talking to my brother, a priest over
                    40 years now, and he said Rita —
                    we deeply love and we need a lot of
                    love since mom was taken when
                    we were kids.

                He was right and my life was a journey to
                    receive the letters of love from
                    Jesus for the Blue Books — which
                    really began in 1991. It was
                    then He gave me clearly vision —
                    Showed me His Sacred Heart
                    December 17, 1991 — 5 years before to the
                    day of Mary's apparition at Clearwater

His Burning HeartPicture of Jesus' Heart on fire.

Messenger:  I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.

    I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these lettersto draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:

    "Open your heart to the fire of God's love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love."

                On May 31, 1994 — the 10th birthday of
                    my son, Fr. Carter got the message
                    to start the Priestly Newsletter

                Fr. Carter entered the Jesuits August 8, 1951
                    my 5th birthday — my mom
                    died on June 19, 1952 when I
                    was 5 — my mom was 48

                Fr. Carter said Mass for me on
                    my 48th birthday — he had
                    begun the Priestly Newsletter in
                    July — it was sent out - the same month
                    Mary's daily visits began at the old
                    seminary with the corner off —
                    On March 22, 1994 the corner fell
                    off the old seminary on Lucia's birthday.

  

 

                On July 31, 1994 Fr. Carter got this message

    

July 31, 1994

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.

                On August 11, 1994 Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
                        I got this message

 

August 11, 1994

Jesus: Oh, how I watched you, child. I watched you as I gave you each little sign of My love. I watched you grow in your faith and trust in Me. I watched you suffer and stood so close you could have touched Me, but you didn't know that this suffering would be that which led you to My tender love for you.

I watched you when you surrendered and turned your will over to Me and I watched you cry, knowing this was the most joyous day of your life. I watched you see visions of doors and knew you would want to go through those doors, but they were not the doors you thought, they were the doors I gave you for greater union with Me. I watched you, child, when you wrote down My first letter to you and I saw your confusion and joy, knowing what these letters would do to touch so many hearts.

I watched you, child. I watched you when I showed you My Heart and you were so warmed by this Heart and so awed by its vision, but you didn't know what this vision would mean for many to draw their hearts to My burning love.

I watched you surrender each time as you let go of each little thing, as you were dying to self. I watched you through this surrender grow closer to Me. I watched you grow in this deep love for Me, step by step. I watched our love grow as you gave more of yourself in prayer. I watched you, child, and I loved being ever closer to you.

I watched you struggle in such trials that you thought tomorrow would never come, knowing that this trial was what would give you more freedom and love for Me. I watched you learn each lesson through hard tests and I was so close while you struggled, but did not remove the struggle, knowing you would not learn your lesson if I had.

I watched you, child, through each joy and pain and I loved you silently, always with you, and you never knew how close I truly was to you.

Song: From the day you were born…

From the day you were born, I watched you. Forever by your side, I guarded you, I loved you. I know the most secret desire of your heart far better than you yourself know. I know the Father's plan for you. I know the Father's love for you. I know the love poured on you from the Holy Spirit and how Mary is forever by your side.

I watch you, child, constantly guarding you and your ways and you do not know the love I have for you. You do not know how My Heart burns for love of you. And, someday, My beautiful child, you will know what I have in store for you, My beloved.

Come and be with Me. Grow in your love with Me. I never leave you, My beloved. Remember, I am forever watching you.

                The day by day description of my
                    messages July 1, 1994 to September 30, 1994
                    are in Blue Book IV

                Then in Blue Book 5   
                    I got all the songs

 

 

                Those times were Blessed
                In Blue Book 6 — Jesus and Mary appeared
                                            Mary every day
                                            Jesus most of the time

 

                Mary's daily visits ended when they told us I
                    couldn't get messages at the
                    old seminary September 11, 1995
                    and the last Tuesday Rosary —
                    (September 12, 1995)
                    Fr. Carter came and said the
                    prayers and we all ran out at
                    the end as a bat chased us

                Fr. Carter sent me to Holy Cross-Immaculata
                    daily and there Mary appeared
                    on the 5ths and I went every day
                    at 12:00 noon and got the
                    Mass Book — I went to Holy Cross-Immaculata
                    Church for adoration —
                    then Fr. Carter's for Mass —
                    The ecstasies I had taught me
                    about the Mass.

                While before the writings were from the
                    Hearts of Jesus and Mary about
                    the rosary and the writings of
                    God's Blue Book 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

                1996 — is pretty much not out there —
                    some isolated messages —
                    The Apostles Manual —
                        the 3 great visions beginning March 26, 1996
                    And some in the daily messages

                12 days before Mary appeared at Clearwater
                Jesus appeared on the cross at the point of death  
                instead of Mary December 5, 1996.

                Excerpt from April 4, 2003

                Messenger:    I saw Him at the point of death on the cross
                December 5, 1996, after Mary appeared 500 times.

                He hung, all battered, greatly weakened. His mouth moved
                very clearly. It seems that a man in His condition could not
                move His mouth to that extent.

                Later in the rosary that night, He gave messages and said:
                "No one was listening."

 

 

Excerpt from December 22, 1998

Messenger:    On January 9, 1996, I went to pray. The snow was so bad the street was blocked to Holy Cross-Immaculata. I finally managed to find a place to park and trudged through the snow, panting with joy to be with Our Lord in the tabernacle there. When I arrived all I could do was kneel before the Sacred Heart statue and pour out myself to Him.

Please show a picture of the tabernacle and the Sacred Heart statue.

From my writings of January 9, 1996, I write:

"I was engulfed again in my love of God and cried so hard because I love Him so much. In this intimate act of giving myself totally to Him, my whole act was in emptying myself, wanting only to be lost in Him and united forever to Him in this most blissful moment. I turned myself over and was lost in Him, knowing His presence with me and knowing His deep love. The world stopped and I existed in Him, longing to forever stay there, so this moment would never end."

"I touched you, God and in this embrace I knew your unending love. I saw Your Body as if it was transfigured and glowing in light and I was lost in Thee."

This is how it began. I would see a great reflective light, as if from a mirror, on the eaves of the church in the front of Holy Cross-Immaculata and His Body was changed in the most brilliant light before my eyes. I cannot describe what I saw, nor have I ever seen it except in this vision and two that would follow the next two days. Jesus was transfigured before my eyes.

The date of January 9, 1996, when it first happened, was the same date January 9, 1994, when I genuflected before the crucifix and the altar at St. Gertrude's and the Father spoke; Blue Book II-page 18, January 9, 1994: "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

On January 9, 1996, I would see Jesus transfigured before me in the statue.

At the end of December, on the 5th of the month, 1996, I would see Him in the back of the church on the crucifix at the point of death.

On August 20, 1997, I would see the glorified Lord as He appeared in magnificent light transfigured on the crucifix at St. Gertrude's church in Madeira, Cincinnati, Ohio.

end of excerpt from December 22, 1998

  

                Really a lot is out there from August to the end in 1996
                    in the Apostles Manual.
                The first 3 months of 1997 are in the Apostles Manual.

                The daily message started July 8, 1998.

                Fr. Carter had been writing the Priestly
                    Newsletter and its circulation was
                    75,000 by the time Mary appeared in
                    Clearwater December 17, 1996

                The prayers were in 6 languages with
                    the Imprimatur

                The Apostles Manual was basically
                    3 months before Clearwater —
                    when the 13ths started October 13, 1996
                    Jesus said the 13ths were His
                    completion to the Fatima
                    message

                The Apostles Manual was formed
                    at the direction of
                    Fr. Carter

                The 17th meetings continued —
                    with a booklet of writings
                    until the 13ths in 1996 —

                There were 2 and 1/2 years of 17th meetings
