Mary speaks: On this Feast of my beloved Son as Christ the King, I wish you to pray the rosary and meditate on the sorrowful mysteries. I am Mary your Mother, how sorrowful I am for my little lost children. I beg you to begin Junior Shepherds of Christ chapters using the simple rosary meditations as this one given yesterday on the eve of this great feast. The Parents and Children's Rosary Book is about to be released to the world. It has the imprimatur. I wish youth, if possible, to gather on Sunday evenings at 6:30 p.m. using these rosary meditations. Begin saying the Shepherds of Christ prayers (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual), then the rosary with meditations. The lives of your children will change and they will be united to all youth praying at 6:30 p.m. I am indeed so sorrowful for your little children. I wish another short rosary book of meditations for parents and children be published as soon as reasonably possible. This rosary will be included in these short rosaries. The world must do as I have asked at Fatima.

1) Pray the rosary.
2) Consecrate their hearts to Our Hearts.
3) Observe the first Saturday Devotion.
4) Make reparation to Our Hearts.

I love you My little children, my Son will reign in the hearts when they obey the Lady of Fatima.

Do you want peace in the world? Then you must pray for peace, you must obey the Lady of Fatima and the requests given above. I am the Queen of Peace, my Son is the Prince of Peace.

I love you, Mary

I urge you to pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus to fight off the evil one.

  8. John 19:37

    and again, in another place scripture says: They will look to the one whom they have pierced.

  9. I John 4:7-11 The source of love

    My dear friends, let us love one another, since love is from God and everyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever fails to love does not know God, because God is love. This is the revelation of God's love for us, that God sent his only Son into the world that we might have life through him. Love consists in this: it is not we who loved God, but God loved us and sent his Son to expiate our sins. My dear friends, if God loved us so much, we too should love one another.

  10. I John 4:20-21

    Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.

Jesus speaks: On this Feast of Christ the King, I beg you to pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus all through the day.

I ask you to include the April 5, 1998 message "To Focus on Self Is Satan's Way" of Blue Book III here.

Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

To Focus on Self Is Satan's Way

God's Blue Book III Cover

April 5, 1994

Jesus speaks: The way of Satan is to focus on self. When you are attacked by others, you focus on your self. If you remain selfless, they cannot touch you. Operate only for love of God. I do not demand perfection. Those closest to you are being used by Satan to get to you. If you are criticized, they are trying to focus on what you did wrong.

Take it to Me. I do not tell you that you are wrong. I want you to come to Me. When others focus on you, respond in love. Do not let anyone shame you or make you feel guilty. This is the work of Satan. I never shame you or make you feel guilty. My way is love. I demand love of those who want to serve Me. To love someone, you are giving to the other, not criticizing, not looking for personal gain.

When anyone is criticizing you, telling you that you have wronged them and that you are not any good, this is not from God. The way of God is to love your brother. To take up sides, to make yourself better than your brother, to make him wrong and you right, this is coming from the evil one. My way is love. Love is giving. Love does not seek its own way. Love focuses on bringing the other close to God. The way to Me is the way of love. In all things, love your brothers, be kind, do not look for personal gain.

You owe no man an explanation on these letters. You are being persecuted and I am allowing it. You must accept your suffering and focus on your children. I am there with you in your darkest hour. I never leave your side.

Satan wants you to doubt and stop this work. He wants you to focus on yourself and feel sorry for yourself. You must die to all thoughts that make you right and others wrong. This is very hard to do. You must see your brothers with only love. You must never measure them or yourself. You are not better, they are not better. You are all My beloved ones! You are all precious. You were all given special gifts to do exactly the work you will be called to do.

Never shame or blame or criticize your brothers. Pray for them. Be kind when you talk to them. You know the way to Me is the way of the cross. It is hard to love and be kind when you feel hurt. This is what I call you to do: look at Me with My flesh torn and see Me loving My attackers. I answered not one thing back. I was silent. I loved those who beat Me. I showed you the way. The way to Me is the way of love.

Making yourself right and others wrong is from Satan. Cast him out! You must do as I command you to do. You must never want to offend Me. You must keep My commandments. Others can do as they please. Pray for them.

You have such a gift! If others listen to you, they will learn from Me. I am talking directly to you. If they do not listen, they will miss the words given by God to you. Do not force your speech on anyone. They are missing My words if they keep talking. I can say in three words what others can never say. Speak to those who are open. Those who do not want to listen will not hear.

You, My child, are learning to be Christ-like. If others demand perfection of you, they are not coming from Me. I do not demand perfection from any human. I want you to say you are sorry when you have sinned. I want you to strive to be saints. I do not tell you to be perfect. That is Satan who points out your faults! Always love, child. Do not judge. Do not get angry. Pray for My help. You need My constant love. Stay fixed in Me. I love you in your failings. Say you are sorry and go about loving for Me.

I love you. I want a contrite heart. Clean your heart at every second. Your heart is holding on to hurts. I am God and I, Jesus Christ, love you. Do not worry about your struggling brothers. I can give as no human can. Come to Me and let Me fill you. Forget your brothers who are angered at you. Pray for them. They are hurting inside. Respond with love!

Be there for your children. Pray and play with them. This is your test to stay focused on Me and doing My Will. Satan is really working on you. You are suffering persecution. If he stops you, he will have a big victory. Forget others who attack you and play with your precious ones. I love you so much. I am Jesus, the Son of God, child. What more do you want?
