Fr. Mike needs prayers for knee surgery Monday.
Also other urgent prayers
Prayer for Grace for our Country
Dear Father
united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of
Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in
the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite
in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ,
with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and
saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us.
We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We
spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United
States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to
the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and
beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray
for our families, the priests, the Church and the world.
In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our
president and leaders. We pray that we are united as
one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.
November 25, 2018 - Feast of Christ the King
R. I remember realizing that when the
Holy Spirit came deeply into my heart, I saw
everything in my spiritual life
in technicolor.
I made a life in the Spirit
Seminar years and years ago and
the question was in the beginning
who is on your throne?
In confirmation we receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit – to help
us to be soldiers for Christ –
to go out to others – to be
missionaries for Christ – giving
ourselves.
When we are on our throne then
God is not on our throne. Love
is giving – We used to have an
out-door thermostat and it
told the temperature – 32 was
freezing.
Love is giving.
“Nothing is more practical
than finding God, that is, than falling in a love in a quite
absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes
your imagination will affect everything. It will decide what
will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do
with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you
read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes
you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and
it will decide everything.”
Pedro Arrupe
R. When a person loves like Christ –
they give of themselves because
of that love.
I remember lots of times when
the children were little how you
thought so much about them if
they were sick, I could not sleep –
I prayed, I took them to the doctor –
I cared for them –
Love gives –
When things are dark and
people are seen as enemies –
like in envy and jealousy and
pride and putting oneself in
these unloving ways before God's
commandment to love –
What is your answer – WHO IS
ON THE THRONE
R. The Apostles were afraid after
the Resurrection and locked
themselves in the upper room –
When the Holy Spirit came upon
them – they were on fire –
they were fearless – they
went out and they did so much.
When I first got the Blue Books –
Letters of God's Love – Jesus told me
to feed the hungry.
A person has to want more –
A person is thirsty for more –
more depth – love on fire –
union with others – witnessing
of Christ because they are
on fire and can't help it.
If a person is filled with
jealousy and pride and
anger and envy, they are like
fence poles in cement – they
won't move –
Other people God puts in
our lives to help us. Fr. Carter
helped me, Jr. Joe, Fr. Mike
helps me – Open –
In order to receive the
gifts of the Holy Spirit one has to
be open –
OFF the THRONE –
Revelation 22: 17
The Spirit and the Bride say,
‘Come!’ Let everyone who listens answer, ‘Come!’ Then let all who
are thirsty come: all who want it may have the water of life, and
have it free.
R. You have to want more –
know there is always supernatural
growth in God from the
sacraments we received –
NEW LIFE –
If LIFE gets Darker and
Darker – more caved in –
more selfishness, chaos,
confusion - anger –
sadness is the way of
life – it isn't life –
Life is in God –
Life in the Holy Spirit increase the desire
to pray –
Fr. Carter gave several points in
teaching his class over 30 years
at Xavier and writing at that
time over 17 books (this was
when I met him)
Fr. Carter, S.J. started his outline in
class
Theme II -
The Concept of the Christian Life
Five different views of
the Christian life
One basic reality includes the other four
Talking about the Christian life from five different perspectives
What follows will be these 5 perspectives
A. The Christian life considered as response to God's love
B. The Christian life considered as participation in God's life
C. The Christian life considered as elevation of human nature
D. The Christian life considered as the Christ-life
E. The Christian life considered as life in the Holy Spirit
Also: Mary's role in the Christian life
In the ceremony of
Christian funerals it begins: "In the waters of baptism
Name died with Christ and rose with him to new life,
may he/she now share with him eternal glory."
In Baptism we
receive a great gift of new life in Him.
Baptism is so
important to the soul.
This theme is to
help us understand more our new life in Him.
Life in Him-this is
a treasure.
This is a gift to be
thankful for to have the Father, Son and Holy Spirit live is us.
We are studying Christian
life and how we live it.
Our object is to
establish a comprehensive view of what is necessary for the
maintenance and development of full Christian living.
Loved in a Personal Way –
Ezekiel 36: 22-28
And so, say to the House of Israel,
"The Lord Yahweh says this: I am acting not for your sake, House of
Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned
among the nations where you have gone. I am going to display the
holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the
nations, which you have profaned among them. And the nations will
know that I am Yahweh–declares the Lord Yahweh–when in you I display
my holiness before their eyes. For I shall take you from among the
nations and gather you back from all the countries, and bring you
home to your own country. I shall pour clean water over you and you
will be cleansed; I shall cleanse you of all your filth and of all
your foul idols. I shall give you a new heart, and put a new spirit
in you; I shall remove the heart of stone from your bodies and give
you a heart of flesh instead. I shall put my spirit in you, and make
you keep my laws, and respect and practise my judgements. You will
live in the country which I gave your ancestors. You will be my
people and I shall be your God.
John 14: 15-18
If you love me
you will keep my commandments.
I shall ask the Father,
and he will give you another Paraclete
to be with you for ever,
the Spirit of truth
whom the world can never accept
since it neither sees nor knows him;
but you know him,
because he is with you, he is in you.
I shall not leave you orphans;
I shall come to you.
Acts 2: 1-4
When Pentecost day came round, they had all met
together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a
violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were
sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these
separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were
all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different
languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
R. When the Holy Spirit comes deeply
in a person they
experience a deepening of
new life
Fruits of the Holy Spirit
Galatians 5: 22-23
On the other hand the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
trustfulness, gentleness and self–control; no law can touch
such things as these.
R. The Holy Spirit as He dwells more and
more in us helps us
as He works in us to
serve others from the
Heart –
These gifts of the Holy Spirit give
us special deepening
in supernatural grace –
new power to do His work
with eyes in our hearts –
The Holy Spirit is the Spouse of the Church –
the Holy Spirit unites the Church –
The Holy Spirit helps us to work in
the body of Christ, the Church –
as an instrument of Christ,
a witness to God.
Ephesians 2: 19-22
So you are no longer aliens or foreign visitors;
you are fellow–citizens with the holy people of God and part of
God’s household. You are built upon the foundations of the apostles
and prophets, and Christ Jesus himself is the cornerstone. Every
structure knit together in him grows into a holy temple in the Lord;
and you too, in him, are being built up into a dwelling–place of God
in the Spirit.
R. The Holy Spirit wants to come and
possess our souls. Giving
ourselves. How do we
give.
Faith is believing without seeing –
How do we really believe God will
take care of us – or are we
always thinking we're in charge,
like the pole in the cement –
it goes NO WHERE –
God loves us and wants us to
have life in the Spirit –
He gives us these gifts
because He loves us –
We need a deep relationship
with the Holy Spirit –

Mary: My beautiful children,
The Holy Spirit, my beloved Spouse,
wants to dwell in you, move in you,
lead you like the wind on a windy
day, when you hear the wind is so strong
and is blowing and is mighty and
you see things move, but you do
not see the wind itself. It blows
and you know it is there. Like
the roar of the wind, the quiet
whisper of it going through leaves
and the trees, the roar of the
ocean and the wind blows and
it can be mighty, my children.
Do you hear me, I am Mary,
your Mother and I love you so much.
Come, my children, I am speaking to
you and some will listen and some
will be like deaf men not hearing and
I appeared at Clearwater, so long ago,
and I have spoken to you for 22
years as Our Lady of Clearwater –
Do you hear me, little beloved children,
I have been sent by your heavenly
Father to speak to you, to know God
is speaking to you in all this chaos
and mess, confusion – satan wants
you to listen to his evil. He works
in people's minds, deceiving them –
You need God in your hearts, my people,
my babies, my children of the heavenly
Father.
My Spouse the Holy Spirit wants to
dwell in you, Jesus dwell in you,
God the Father dwell in you.
You will be strengthened against
satan and his evil – when you
are possessed in your heart with
God.
Prayer for Union
with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my
soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence
with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to
use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all
that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to
die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw
my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling
within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my
life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to
put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as
You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me
from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus
off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the
promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear
to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me
now.
-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994
Mary: Pray the Holy Spirit Novena God gave
you daily – through the day – be joyful
your life here is not your true
home – Be watchful and ready –
you know not when God will
call you home, my babies, little
ones, dependent on God. Don't
listen to satan. Don't let satan talk
in your heads –
You must love and work together
serving God and obeying God in
your lives. God the Father has a plan
for you. Listen to me, little babies,
listen to me – Don't be hoity-toity
like you are so high-up and don't
need anybody –
You are under God –
You need God –
You can do so much in your
life-time if you live to love and
serve God.
R. And the wind came and it did
not stop – Do you hear the sound
when God and Mary are speaking?
R. The sound is like the wind – the quieting
of sounds – the noise is demanding –
it started on Pentecost – it calls
me to write and it is clear –
So I write as They instruct me –
so sweet, so truthful, so demanding
of action –
Mary: My children, your Father sent
me to Clearwater to speak to
you – to show you how close
God is - every day –
You need God in your hearts –
Surrender – do not fear, have faith –
Let go to God – Satan tells you to control –
I speak to you – I show you my face,
I show you my face –
Mary: Believe I am speaking to you in these
messages –
Believe Jesus is speaking in the Blue Books –
Faith my children –
Circulate Jesus' love letters –
Unless there is love in the Church, the
Bloodshed will continue –
Religious need hearts of love – rooted in
God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit in your hearts –
God created you in love children –
Jesus died for you and rose on the 3rd
Day
Believe –
Let God in your every thought, action,
with love in your hearts –
Love rooted in Him –
I love you my little children –
I come to deliver this message for
peace in the world –
for Thanksgiving November 22, 2018 –
Let yourself be in the hands of
God –
Let go – honor Him, love Him,
adore Him –
Love one another –
Serve your heavenly Father in
your lives –
Let go now –
I deliver a message from God.
Mary: I am Mary your
heavenly Mother –
Listen to me.

Excerpt from Guiding Light -
Walk in the Light
First Sunday of Lent February
14, 2016 - p. 47
HOMILY - ...
The
desert times make us more vulnerable to temptation too. It’s easy to
pray and to love God when we feel that he’s close to us and it’s
harder when he feels far away. Luke tells us in today’s gospel that
it was only after Jesus had fasted those 40 days that the devil
showed up. In other words, Jesus was at his most vulnerable point,
at least physically. So the devil suggested Jesus turn stones into
bread to satisfy his hunger; he offered Jesus power and control over
all earthly kingdoms; and, finally, the devil told him that he
should come floating down from the peak of the Temple and the Jewish
people would instantly recognize him as their messiah.
These temptations, at first, seem so strange. They appear to be
quite different from the run of the mill temptations most of us have
to deal with: pride, lust, greed, envy, anger, etc., but in some
ways our temptations are similar to those of Jesus. Basically,
Jesus’ temptations involved the possibility of his using his divine
powers for his own benefit. I would suspect temptations like these
continued to suggest themselves to Jesus throughout his entire life.
For example, we might remember how, after he had fed the people
miraculously, they wanted to make him their king. He may have found
that tempting, but we know he turned away from that possibility.
Remember too how when he was arrested in the garden of Gethsemane,
he said: “don’t you know that I could call on my Father for help and
at once he would send me more than twelve armies of angels?” (Mt.
26,53) Yet he would not call on his supernatural powers to save
himself.
Jesus:
Those who love Me show it by their actions.
Obedience to the commandments.
Living by faith, hope and love.
I know your every breath - your every thought.
Mary:
I am the perfect handmaid of Jesus.
Mary:
Actions.
The parable of the 2 brothers.
He said he would do it and did not.
His brother said he would not do it and did.
Which pleased
the father more?
It’s your actions
Not cheap talk.
God knows what you will do.
My message of Fatima is conversion and reparation.
In the end what matters is what you did and the state of your hearts.
Jesus:
I am God. Don’t reject Me anymore.
Mary:
If you turn your body over to be burned but have not love it is worth
nothing.
God has given you women so much, not even given to the greatest saints.
Live the laws of God in obedience and love. What you do to others you
have done to Jesus.
Love is giving and truth and gratitude from the heart.
Love gives to the heavenly Father who has a plan for you in your
vocation to serve and follow in the footsteps of Jesus.
So when God calls you to judgment He will say,
"Well done good and
faithful servant, I gave you a heart to love and you opened your heart
like you were called in love to do."
Jesus:
A man goes by each day only once.
I fed 5000 on a few loaves and fish.
Mary:
God loves you so much.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
When you go to bed tonight so do the opportunities to be like Jesus was
“the Son of God”.
Every day is a gift God gives you to know, love and serve Him and put
God first in your lives.
Today’s moments become yesterday’s forgotten memories.
Seek true treasure every moment of your lives, on this you will be
judged.
Your pass to eternal life depends on how you grew in love according to
the Father's will.
Seek true treasures and store up love, virtue for the judgment day.
This is the day the Lord has made rejoice in it, do not be like the
foolish virgins who were not prepared when the bridegroom came.
Live in love and be ready, you know not the day nor the hour.
To much that has been given so much, much will be expected. Do not
listen to satan’s lies.
He said to God “I will not serve” and the bad angels will go to hell
eternally. And they prowl the earth looking for souls to deceive, to lie
to, to hate, to disobey God. And they want souls for hell.
Why would anyone reject God and choose this eternal damnation when God
loves them, and Jesus died for their sins and offers forgiveness and mercy
to those who repent of their sins and promise to turn from sin and make
reparation.
Offending God with malice of intent is so evil when God loves you so
much and wants your love so much.
You were created to love, to be holy, to live in your unique vocation in
eagerness to serve God in love. Like a little, obedient child of the
heavenly Father.
God calls you today - a blessing or a curse.
You can be master over Satan and serve God with a willing, faithful,
loving heart.
Open your heart to God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is your duty to
put God first and love and worship Him.
I am Mary your heavenly Mother.
Perfect Handmaid of the Lord.
Put your energy on God.
Do not offend God in pride, anger, jealousy, envy, slothfulness, lust
and gluttony.
You can’t do what you want if you serve God, you must discipline your
unruly obstinate will.
Be faithful to your Spouse, Jesus, the Bridegroom of your soul.
What good does it do a man to live a life of pride, disobedience and
hate, offending God and lose their soul.
Sunday is the Feast of Christ the King.
Who is King and center of your actions, your heart - you can be forgiven
if you want to change your ways doing evil offending God, but you must
be master over Satan.
I am Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas, Our Lady of Clearwater.
Why do some make Satan and his lies ruler in hate over their lives?
God is all good.
God is love.
Mary:
God loves you. He has a place prepared in heaven for those who loved and
served the Lord.
Satan is a liar.
You can be Master over him.
Read the Blue Books, let Jesus dwell in your heart.
Let the Holy Spirit possess your soul,
You are the little beautiful child of God the Father. Serve and love Him
and be obedient to God putting God first in your life.
Be happy - God is love. In Him is no darkness at all.
Mary:
I love you my little one.
Satan is filled with obstinate hateful, willful disobedient hard-hearted
souls, like the fallen angels said
“we won’t serve God”
and disobeyed God.
You know the 10 commandments.
Those who disobey choose to put themselves over God.
Mary:
Why do you condemn yourselves my disobedient children?
Who can tell those who disobey? Some hearts are hard and deceitful
toward God and they live to put themselves before God and making their
brothers enemies, they persecute and refuse to love and trust and
co-operate with in the plan of God the Father.
Satan is a liar. He comes to steal your heart.
You need Union with God.
Pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus.
Your strength is in working this program of love and unity in my
Immaculate Heart and Jesus’ Sacred Heart.
Union with Jesus putting God first.
God is the healer. Watch Molokai (Fr. Damian).
Genesis 1: 27 - 28
God created man in the image of himself,
in the image of God he created him,
male and female he created them.
God blessed them, saying to them, ‘Be fruitful,
multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters of the fish of
the sea, the birds of heaven and all the living creatures that move
on earth.’
Genesis 4: 1-10
The man had intercourse
with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. ‘I have
acquired a man with the help of Yahweh,’ she said. She gave birth to
a second child, Abel, the brother of Cain. Now Abel became a
shepherd and kept flocks, while Cain tilled the soil. 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.
Revelation 22: 20
The one who attests these things says: I am indeed coming soon.
Amen; come, Lord Jesus.
Song: A Song from Jesus

1 Corinthians 13: 1-3
Though I command languages both human
and angelic—if I speak without love, I am no more than a gong
booming or a cymbal clashing. And though I have the power of
prophecy, to penetrate all mysteries and knowledge, and though I
have all the faith necessary to move mountains—if I am without love,
I am nothing. Though I should give away to the poor all that I
possess, and even give up my body to be burned—if I am without love,
it will do me no good whatever.
Mary:
Do you know how awful it is for a soul to be lost to the fires of hell for all
eternity.
This is what made Jesus suffer so in the Garden He sweat blood.
Mary's
Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996
Mary:
I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I
saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My
Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I
suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and
give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this
message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I
stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried
for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How
do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I
appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject
me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored.
The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you.
Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and
I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart
was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this
day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold
back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to
help my children. You are my children of light.
end of Mary's Message
Mary: Jesus
gives you Himself in the Eucharist.
How can you turn on God and choose Satan and sin?
27 years ago
Mary:
I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried for my little ones.

November 25, 2018 continues
R. Our soul waits on the Lord –
He loves us –
We have to trust God
We have to be open –
We must operate on faith –
Live by the Father's will –
Our hope is in God –
not trying to force
somebody else to
give us what only
God can –
THEY CAN'T DO IT!
Ask yourself –
Renewal of Baptismal Promises
V. Do you
reject Satan?
R. I do.
V. And all his works?
R. I do.
V. And all his empty promises?
R. I do.
V. Do you believe in God, the Father Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth?
R. I do.
V. Do you
believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was
born of the Virgin Mary was crucified, died, and was buried,
rose from the dead, and is now seated at the right hand of
the Father?
R. I do.
Do you believe in the Holy
Spirit, the holy Catholic church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and
life everlasting?
R. I do.
V. God, the
all-powerful Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has given us a
new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and forgiven all our
sins. May he also keep us faithful to our Lord Jesus Christ
for ever and ever.
R. Amen.
R. We have to give our will and
our lives to God –
that demands faith –
We need the Life in the Holy Spirit –
1 Timothy 3: 4-6
a
man who manages his own household
well and brings his
children up to obey him and be
well-behaved: how can any
man who does not understand how to
manage his own household take care of the Church of God? He should
not be a new convert, in case
pride should turn his head and he
incur the same condemnation as the devil.
R. We need the gifts of the Holy Spirit –
We must tell the truth
and repent of our sins –
Accept God's promises to
send the Spirit of truth.
John 14: 15-17
If you love me
you will keep my commandments.
I shall ask the Father,
and he will give you another Paraclete
to be with you for ever,
the Spirit of truth
whom the world can never accept
since it neither sees nor knows him;
but you know him,
because he is with you, he is in you.
R. Turn to God in faith –
Repent of your sins –
Luke 11: 9-13
‘So I say to you: Ask,
and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and
the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives;
everyone who searches finds; everyone who knocks will have the door
opened. What father among you, if his son asked for a fish, would
hand him a snake? Or if he asked for an egg, hand him a scorpion? If
you then, evil as you are, know how to give your children what is
good, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to
those who ask him!’
R. Satan does not want a
person to have this union
with the Holy Spirit.
Satan is a liar –
He keeps telling a person
they have arrived –
You never arrive during your
life where you stop
trying to grow in Christ!
Satan tells you to be selfish –
there isn't enough to
go around –
put yourself on the
throne –
Give him control of
your spiritual life satan
says –
Satan works in "stinkin-thinkin"
Put your faith in God –
Song: Little Child
Song: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord
R. A person filled with God
is a person of joy –
not darkness and
sinfulness.
1 Peter 5: 7-9
unload all your
burden on to him, since he is concerned about you. Keep sober
and alert, because your enemy the devil is on the prowl like a
roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand up to him,
strong in faith and in the knowledge that it is the same kind of
suffering that the community of your brothers throughout the world
is undergoing.
R. Do everything you do to
please God –
to love God –
to serve God –
to help build the Kingdom of God
1 Corinthians 3: 1-3
And so,
brothers, I was not able to talk to you as
spiritual people; I had to talk to you as
people still living by your natural
inclinations, still infants in Christ; I fed
you with milk and not solid food, for you
were not yet able to take it -- and even
now, you are still not able to, for you are
still living by your natural inclinations.
As long as there are
jealousy
and rivalry among you, that surely means
that you are still living by your natural
inclinations and by merely human principles.
R. You don't stand still
in the spiritual life –

A Prayer for Grace and Holiness today
A prayer to work in love and holiness
John 16: 23
"If you ask the Father anything in my name,
He will give it to you"
R. God wants our unity – we ask for
this
unity – that the Spirit of God fill
us and help us to be holy –
that we do not hold onto any of the deadly
sins that block us from this unity –
that the Holy Spirit can work in our souls,
so we can be His instruments of love
and peace and joy among our brothers.
We pray this heavenly Father in the name of
Jesus who said ask in my name and
it will be given to you.
Let us experience the joy
of unity and love
on a supernatural level and know You
our beloved God – more and more supernaturally.
We want our hearts to be sanctified in
our love and work so we are holy and
pleasing to You God.
Come to us Lord and possess our soul.
We want to walk as God intends us
to walk today in the plan of God,
in the work He has called us to do today.
We know that we must cooperate with the
grace
You are giving us – now and today to
bring unity and peace and love to this
day as we serve to do the work – You are
calling us in our vocation to do.
Dear Heavenly Father, hear our prayer,
in the name of Jesus, we pray,
we ask, heavenly Father for these
graces necessary this day to
bring peace, love and joy to
our relationships and work – as You
work in us.
We seek perfection in our
souls to be holy
souls likened to You – in work
and in play – to be holy in prayer –
we invite You Holy Spirit to be
the Guest of our soul.
We seek order in our lives, not disorder.
We beg for the virtues of faith, hope, love,
prudence, temperance, fortitude, justice,
and humility. We seek to be obedient
to the will of God and live obedient to
the will of God in love.
Come Holy Spirit Come into our hearts.
Transform
us from fear to fearlessness to serve
You as You desire in our lives.
Help our actions to be for the glory and
honor
of God with the goal of these actions
to one day be in heaven with Thee,
our beloved God.
Heal our hearts and our bodies – Help
us to have health of body now in
this work you call us to do.
Instill in us a desire to want to only
do the will of the heavenly Father
and to walk in holiness and love.
We pray all these prayers heavenly Father,
united to Jesus, in His name for
grace and holiness today and always.
Help us to live by right reasoning in
our lives – to have the truth
in our every thought and to live
in order as You operate in us
in unity and love.
Come to me Lord and possess my soul.
We seek order in our lives – Your order
to love in us, to help us to act as
You desire, to have the thoughts
that are in right reasoning and in
Your order, Lord.
Give us the grace to use our faculties
to love and serve You and do
Your work.
Give us faith and right reasoning.
Help us to love and be just in our actions.
Help us to seek Your Divine Will and to
perform those actions, which are actions
pleasing to You in everything.
Come to us Lord and purify our consciences,
our souls.
Help us to hope and love in Thee.
We seek heavenly vision – to see
things through the eyes of
the heavenly Father and to be
perfected more and more in doing
God's will in our lives.
We pray for the gifts and fruits of the Holy
Spirit.
We pray for this purity in our souls –
to live virtuously, to be perfected
more and more and filled with the
gifts of the Holy Spirit –
Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel,
Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety
and Fear of the Lord
and to have the fruits of
the Holy Spirit –
charity, joy, peace, patience,
benignity (kindness), goodness,
long-suffering, mildness,
faith, modesty, continency,
and chastity.
We do not want the enemies to
invade our thoughts, our
actions, our lives –
We pray to give up ugly bad habits of the
deadly sins –
pride, greed, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth
We know on this journey we will
experience sufferings and joys
and we accept the struggles
in life and ask You to help us,
strengthen us in our lives to
suffer and rejoice as You
desire us to do in our lives.
We want to be a reflection of Your
heavenly love – to be full of light –
Your light in us. To operate in
light and not darkness – IN You,
our beloved God.
We want to follow in the footsteps
of Jesus in giving love and
light and unity to those
we contact in our lives –
Prayer for Union
with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my
soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence
with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to
use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all
that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to
die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw
my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling
within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my
life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to
put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as
You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me
from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus
off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the
promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear
to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me
now.
-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

R. Dear Holy Spirit please come to me the
Guest of my soul. Please pour
into me Your virtues and gifts.
Dear Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in me.
Please fill me with the
supernatural gifts I received at
baptism – that they may grow
ever greater to know and love supernaturally.
Dear Holy Spirit,
Please mold in me more and
more the image of Jesus in my
heart and soul.
From Tell My People
by Fr. Edward J. Carter,
S.J.
The Holy Spirit
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to
the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people
must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit
desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are
docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs
this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My
Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit
leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your
transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the
more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell
them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am
Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the
gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My
people!"
Reflection:
The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever
more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus,
the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy
Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each
day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother,
the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of
the Holy Spirit within us.
Prayer:
Come, Holy
Spirit, fill us with your gifts of wisdom, understanding, knowledge,
counsel, fortitude, piety, and fear of the Lord. As we dwell in the Heart of
Mary, Your spouse, fashion us more and more according to the Heart of Jesus.

R. Help me to live my life praising
and loving God in love and
being as God wants me to be.
Holy Spirit be the Guest of my soul.
Come Holy Spirit fill me with the Spirit –
Let the Spirit of God be in me.
John 16:12-15
I still have many things to say to you
but they would be too much for you
to bear now.
However, when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth,
since he will not be speaking
of his own accord,
but will say only what he has been told;
and he will reveal to you
the things to come.
He will glorify me,
since all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.
Everything the Father has is mine;
that is why I said:
all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.
Sing: Come Holy Ghost
Sing: Come Holy Spirit
R. Let the Light of Christ live
in my soul. Amen.
We see when the Holy Spirit lives
in us there is cooperation with
the Plan of God, Our heavenly Father.
The Holy Spirit brings unity to the soul –
order in our hearts – direction
according to and with God,
our heavenly Father who
created us in the image and
likeness of God.
Genesis
1: 26-27
God
said, ‘Let us make man in our own image, in the
likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of
the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the
cattle, all the wild animals and all the creatures
that creep along the ground.’
God created man in the image of himself,
in the image of God he created him,
male and female he created them.
R. The Holy Spirit opens our hearts and
souls to God – so God can dwell
in us more abundantly.
Come to me God and possess my
soul –
Sing: Come to me, Lord, and possess my
soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul.
Help me to sit in silence
with You and let You work in my heart.
We are imperfect – the Holy Spirit
comes to transform our souls
more and more in the image and
likeness of Jesus –
Come to me Lord and possess
my soul –
God fills us more and more abundantly
with His life –
Sing Song: I Love You Jesus
R. The Holy Spirit is the Spouse of the
Virgin Mary – perfect handmaid
of the Lord.
The Holy Spirit wants to transform
us more and more into the image of Jesus.
We were created for this –
Oh God, we are so grateful for
the sacrament of baptism and
the other sacraments. We are
so grateful for the Eucharist
whereby, you feed the life you
gave to us.
God gives us a sharing in
His life in baptism and feeds
us with the Body and Blood
of Jesus in the Eucharist.
Come to me Lord and possess my soul –
Sing:
Glory be to
the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the
beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
1 Corinthians 3: 16
Do you not
realise that you are a temple of God with the Spirit of God
living in you?
R. We consecrate ourselves to God.
We give ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

God of love, who filled the Virgin Mary with grace, who wonderfully changed
the hearts of the apostles, who endowed all Your martyrs with miraculous
courage, come and sanctify us. Enlighten our minds, strengthen our wills,
purify our consciences, rectify our judgment, set our hearts on fire, and

and the Immaculate
Heart of Mary
"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to
Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the
Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates,
to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your
love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom
You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal
and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love.
You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with
a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates,
a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal
of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely
to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You
are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting
on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate
Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of
Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

Jesus, in union with Him in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit. We come to
You united to the Child Jesus of Good Health and the Infant of Prague. We come to You in
the perfect, sinless heart of Our Mother Mary, asking her powerful intercession, uniting
ourselves to her holy tears. We come to You united to all the angels and saints, and the
souls in purgatory.
Prayer for Holy Spirit
We pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit
on us, to be baptized by the Holy Spirit, that He will descend mightily on us as He did on
the Apostles at Pentecost. That the Holy Spirit will transform us from fear to
fearlessness and that He will give us courage to do all the Father is asking of us to help
bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. We
pray for the Holy Spirit to descend mightily on the Jesuits and the Poor Clares on the
Shepherds of Christ leaders and members and on the whole Body of Christ and the world.

spread on us, everyone in our families, and the Shepherds of Christ Movement, that we will
be able to move steadfastly ahead and be protected from the evil one.

to be one with You, Oh Spirit of Light, that You move in us in our every breath.
Prayer to Be One in Jesus
Let us experience life in the Sacred Heart of
Jesus, so we can say as Saint Paul, "I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am
alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me...." Let us live, united to the
Mass, all through the day being one in Him. Let us be able to love and know in this
elevated state of oneness with our God. We long for Thee, oh beauteous God, we love You,
we love You, we love You. We praise You, worship You, honor You, adore You, and thank You,
our beloved God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Prayer to Dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
We seek to be one in God, to live and dwell
in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, our little heaven on earth, to experience life in the all
perfect, pure, sinless heart of our Mother. We want the Holy Spirit to move in us and to

world to help in the salvation of souls.

in our lives. Dear Holy Spirit, work in us.

the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore
You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You
most intimately.
First Period
Meditations Nine Days
1. Romans 8:14-17
All who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God; for what you received
was not the spirit of slavery to bring you back into fear; you received the Spirit of
adoption, enabling us to cry out, 'Abba, Father!' The Spirit himself joins with
our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God. And if we are children, then we
are heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, provided that we share his suffering,
so as to share his glory.
2. Romans 8:5-9
Those who are living by their natural inclinations have their minds on the things human
nature desires; those who live in the Spirit have their minds on spiritual things. And
human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to
life and peace, because the outlook of disordered human nature is opposed to God, since it
does not submit to God's Law, and indeed it cannot, and those who live by their natural
inclinations can never be pleasing to God. You, however, live not by your natural
inclinations, but by the Spirit, since the Spirit of God has made a home in you. Indeed,
anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
3. 1 John 4:12-16
No one has ever seen God, but as long as we love one another God remains in us and his
love comes to its perfection in us. This is the proof that we remain in him and he in us,
that he has given us a share in his Spirit. We ourselves have seen and testify that the
Father sent his Son as Saviour of the world. Anyone who acknowledges that Jesus is the Son
of God, God remains in him and he in God. We have recognised for ourselves, and put our
faith in, the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God
and God in him.
4. 1 John 4:17-21
Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly,
because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but
perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has
come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. 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.
5. 1 John 4:7-11
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.
6. Acts of the Apostles 1:1-5
In my earlier work, Theophilus, I dealt with everything Jesus had done and taught from the
beginning until the day he gave his instructions to the apostles he had chosen through the
Holy Spirit, and was taken up to heaven. He had shown himself alive to them after his
Passion by many demonstrations: for forty days he had continued to appear to them and tell
them about the kingdom of God. While at table with them, he had told them not to leave
Jerusalem, but to wait there for what the Father had promised. 'It is', he had said, 'what
you have heard me speak about: John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you
are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.'
7. Acts of the Apostles 1:6-9
Now having met together, they asked him, 'Lord, has the time come for you to restore the
kingdom to Israel?' He replied, 'It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father
has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which
will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout
Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end.'
As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their
sight.
8. Acts of the Apostles 1:12-14
So from the Mount of Olives, as it is called, they went back to Jerusalem, a short
distance away, no more than a Sabbath walk; and when they reached the city they went to
the upper room where they were staying; there were Peter and John, James and Andrew,
Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot,
and Jude son of James. With one heart all these joined constantly in prayer, together with
some women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
9. Acts of the Apostles 2:1-4
When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from
heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were
sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest
on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak
different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
Second Period
Meditations Nine Days
1. John 14:21-31
Whoever holds to my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me; and
whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I shall love him and reveal myself to
him.'
Judas-not Judas Iscariot-said to him, 'Lord, what has happened, that you intend to show
yourself to us and not to the world?' Jesus replied:
Anyone who loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to
him and make a home in him. Anyone who does not love me does not keep my words. And the
word that you hear is not my own: it is the word of the Father who sent me. I have said
these things to you while still with you; but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the
Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all I have said
to you. Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot
give, this is my gift to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. You heard me
say: I am going away and shall return. If you loved me you would be glad that I am going
to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. I have told you this now, before it
happens, so that when it does happen you may believe. I shall not talk to you much longer,
because the prince of this world is on his way. He has no power over me, but the world
must recognise that I love the Father and that I act just as the Father commanded. Come
now, let us go.
2. John 17:11-26
I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you.
Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like
us. While I was with them, I kept those you had given me true to your name. I have watched
over them and not one is lost except one who was destined to be lost, and this was to
fulfil the scriptures. But now I am coming to you and I say these things in the world to
share my joy with them to the full. I passed your word on to them, and the world hated
them, because they belong to the world no more than I belong to the world. I am not asking
you to remove them from the world, but to protect them from the Evil One. They do not
belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth;
your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world, and
for their sake I consecrate myself so that they too may be consecrated in truth. I pray
not only for these but also for those who through their teaching will come to believe in
me. May they all be one, just as, Father, you are in me and I am in you, so that they also
may be in us, so that the world may believe it was you who sent me. I have given them the
glory you gave to me, that they may be one as we are one. With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity that the world will recognise that it was you who sent
me and that you have loved them as you have loved me.
Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may always
see my glory which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the
world. Father, Upright One, the world has not known you, but I have known you, and these
have known that you have sent me. I have made your name known to them and will continue to
make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and so that I may
be in them.
3. I Corinthians 15:20-28
In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who
have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the
resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to
life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his
coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the
kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and
power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the
last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his
feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the
One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the
Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God
may be all in all.
4. Revelation 3:1-3,12,16-19
'Write to the angel of the church in Sardis and say, "Here is the message of the one
who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know about your behaviour: how
you are reputed to be alive and yet are dead. Wake up; put some resolve into what little
vigour you have left: it is dying fast. So far I have failed to notice anything in your
behaviour that my God could possibly call perfect; remember how you first heard the
message. Hold on to that. Repent! If you do not wake up, I shall come to you like a thief,
and you will have no idea at what hour I shall come upon you.
Anyone who proves victorious I will make into a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and it
will stay there for ever; I will inscribe on it the name of my God and the name of the
city of my God, the new Jerusalem which is coming down from my God in heaven, and my own
new name as well.
'...but since you are neither hot nor cold, but only lukewarm, I will spit you out of my
mouth. You say to yourself: I am rich, I have made a fortune and have everything I want,
never realising that you are wretchedly and pitiably poor, and blind and naked too. I warn
you, buy from me the gold that has been tested in the fire to make you truly rich, and
white robes to clothe you and hide your shameful nakedness, and ointment to put on your
eyes to enable you to see. I reprove and train those whom I love: so
repent in real earnest.'
5. Revelation 5:9-14
They sang a new hymn: You are worthy to take the scroll and to break its seals,
because you were sacrificed, and with your blood you bought people for God of every race,
language, people and nation and made them a line of kings and priests for God, to
rule the world.
In my vision, I heard the sound of an immense number of angels gathered round the throne
and the living creatures and the elders; there were ten thousand times ten thousand of
them and thousands upon thousands, loudly chanting:
Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength,
honour, glory and blessing.
Then I heard all the living things in creation-everything that lives in heaven, and on
earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, crying:
To the One seated on the throne and to the Lamb, be all praise, honour, glory and
power, for ever and ever.
And the four living creatures said, 'Amen'; and the elders prostrated themselves to
worship.
6. Revelation 7:14-17
I answered him, 'You can tell me, sir.' Then he said, 'These are the people who have been
through the great trial; they have washed their robes white again in the blood of the
Lamb. That is why they are standing in front of God's throne and serving him day and night
in his sanctuary; and the One who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them.
They
will never hunger or thirst again; sun and scorching wind will never plague them,
because the Lamb who is at the heart of the throne will be their shepherd and will
guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away all tears from
their eyes.'
7. Revelation 12:1-8
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. Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red
dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet.
Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground,
and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so
that it could eat the child as soon as it was born. The woman was delivered of a boy,
the son who was to rule all the nations with an iron sceptre, and the child was
taken straight up to God and to his throne, while the woman escaped into the desert, where
God had prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty days.
And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the
dragon. The dragon fought back with his angels, but they were defeated and driven out of
heaven.
8. Revelation 14:1-7
Next in my vision I saw Mount Zion, and standing on it the Lamb who had with him a hundred
and forty-four thousand people, all with his name and his Father's name written on their
foreheads. I heard a sound coming out of heaven like the sound of the ocean or the roar of
thunder; it was like the sound of harpists playing their harps. There before the throne
they were singing a new hymn in the presence of the four living creatures and the elders,
a hymn that could be learnt only by the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been
redeemed from the world. These are the sons who have kept their virginity and not been
defiled with women they follow the Lamb wherever he goes; they, out of all
people, have been redeemed to be the first-fruits for God and for the Lamb.
No
lie was found in their mouths and no fault can be found in them.
Then I saw another angel, flying high overhead, sent to announce the gospel of eternity to
all who live on the earth, every nation, race, language and tribe. He was calling, 'Fear
God and glorify him, because the time has come for him to sit in judgement; worship
the maker of heaven and earth and sea and the springs of water.'
Revelation 19: 7-8
let us be glad and joyful and give glory to God, because this is the time for the marriage
of the Lamb. His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress herself in dazzling white
linen, because her linen is made of the good deeds of the saints.'
9. Revelation 21:1-10
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.'
Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new.
Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."' Then he said
to me, 'It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.
I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves
victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my
son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship
obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of
false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of
sulphur.'
One of the seven angels that had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came to
speak to me and said, 'Come here and I will show you the bride that the Lamb has married.'
In the spirit, he carried me to the top of a very high mountain, and showed me
Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God.
Revelation 22:20
The one who attests these things says: I am indeed coming soon.
Amen; come, Lord Jesus.
