Revelations on the Light
Isaiah 30: 19-26:
Yes, people of Zion living in
Jerusalem,
you will weep no more.
He will be gracious to you when your cry for help rings out;
as soon as he hears it, he will answer you.
When the Lord has given you the bread of suffering
and the water of distress,
he who is your teacher will hide no longer,
and you will see your teacher with your own eyes.
Your ears will hear these words behind you,
'This is the way, keep to it,' whether you turn to right or left.
You will hold unclean the silverplating of your idols
and goldplating of your images.
You will throw them away like the polluted things they are,
shouting after them, 'Good riddance!'
He will send rain for the seed you sow in the ground,
and the bread that the ground provides will be rich and nourishing.
That day, your cattle will graze in wide pastures.
Oxen and donkeys that work the land
will eat for fodder wild sorrel,
spread by the shovel-load and fork-load.
On every lofty mountain, on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses, on the day of the great slaughter
when the strongholds fall.
Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-
on the day Yahweh dresses his people's wound
and heals the scars of the blows they have received."
Isaiah 40:1-8:
'Console my people, console
them,'
says your God.
'Speak to the heart of Jerusalem
and cry to her
that her period of service is ended,
that her guilt has been atoned for,
that, from the hand of Yahweh, she has received
double punishment for all her sins.'
A voice cries, 'Prepare in the desert
a way for Yahweh.
Make a straight highway for our God
across the wastelands.
Let every valley be filled in,
every mountain and hill be levelled,
every cliff become a plateau,
every escarpment a plain;
then the glory of Yahweh will be revealed
and all humanity will see it together,
for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.'
A voice said, 'Cry aloud!' and I said, 'What shall I cry?'
-'All humanity is grass
and all its beauty like the wild flower's.
The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of Yahweh blows on them.
(The grass is surely the people.)
The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God remains for ever.'
Song: A Voice Cries Out in the
Wilderness
Adam and Eve are given great gifts and insights into God.
They sin, the light of knowing God is dimmed because of their sin. They do
not know God as they did before the sin.
Christ comes, He is the Light of the World. He dies, He
gives Himself. He shares His life with us through sanctifying grace.
Through Baptism we receive this sharing in His divine
life. The more He shares His life, the more we are saturated with His life,
the more we know Him. He reveals Himself to us--we see the light.
The Kingdom of God is at hand. It is all here: the Mass,
the Eucharist, God giving Himself.
To partake more in His life we must give ourselves to Him.
Mary appears to Bernadette. She tells her she is the
"Immaculate Conception." We are sinners, but through Mary, the
pure and sinless one, we can unite deeply in Him.
We are in darkness in varying degrees. The more we are
saturated with His life, the more we see.
The reign of God is at hand. Since He came to the earth,
everything is in place to see the light.
God is giving to us great graces to see the light now. He
is lifting the veil.
There will be the era of peace.
Isaiah 30:26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
We see the darkness. As at night, we do not see the
colorful leaves, they are there, we do not see them.
In the morning light, we see the glory of the beautiful
day, the colorful leaves.
As the light steals across the sky, we see more and more.
As the sun gradually comes up, we see more clearly the beauty of the leaves.
At first, our vision is not so clear because the light
does not show in its deepest intensity. As the sun comes up we see more and
more vividly until finally we see clearly the beauty of the colorful leaves.
Isaiah 30:26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
In a message to Fr. Carter on July 31, 1994, Jesus has
promised us: "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."
As stated above, the more we are saturated with his life,
the more we are one in Him, the more clearly we see. It is in this union, in
the depth of His Heart, that we receive such life, that we know Him with
great clarity, that we are given this vision of God.
It is not with "eyes" that we see, but the
illumination is in the knowing power that He gives to us. He reveals
insights into the divine mysteries. We share most intimately with Him when
we are one with Him in the Mass and after Communion. These are treasured
moments in which He gives us a special sharing to know Him, our Divine
Lover.
We see clearly when our hearts are hearts of love. We see
vividly when our hearts are filled with love and peace. We were created to
love, to love God and love each other.
Adam and Eve sinned. They lost the great gift given to
them. The light of knowing God was dimmed because of their sin.
Christ comes into the world. He is the Word. He is the
light of the world. He comes to save man from his sin. He comes in the womb
of the Virgin Mary. Mary is the pure and sinless one. Jesus comes to pay the
price for the sin of Adam and for our sins. We are all tainted by this sin
of our first father and mother. Mary is the Immaculate and pure one, the
highest human person. Divinity unites with humanity in the womb of Mary.
They are one. Jesus is carried within the body of His mother. Such unity
from the beginning, for His life is formed within her body. Is it surprising
to us, then, if Christ comes within the womb of the Virgin Mary, that we too
must go through Mary to unite to Him? Where is the pride in the hearts of
men that think they do not have to go through their Mother Mary? If Christ
comes in the womb of Mary to pay the price for man's sins, and we are
tainted by the sin, in order to unite to the Almighty God who is all holy,
we must go through the pure and sinless one.
Adam and Eve sinned. The Father sends His Son into the
world to pay the price for man's sins. Jesus is the New Adam; Mary is the
New Eve. Man continues to sin, greatly displeasing God. The Father allows
Mary to appear to Bernadette at Lourdes as the Immaculate Conception, as
having been conceived without original sin. The Father then allows Mary to
appear to the children of Fatima as the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We are sinners, we cannot unite closely to Him unless we
go through Mary.
Mary is the pure and sinless one. We can unite deeply to
Him. We are in darkness in varying degrees. The more we are saturated with
His life, the more we see.
The reign of God is at hand. He came to the earth, He
died, He rose on the third day. He gave to the Apostles the power to change
bread and wine into His Body and Blood. He gave to them the power to forgive
sins. He established His Church pouring forth from His pierced side. We do
not see the great gifts that He has given to us. He is giving to us great
insights into these gifts. God is giving to us great graces to see the light
now. He is lifting the veil.
There will be an era of peace and all will see with such
light as Isaiah speaks of in chapter 30, verse 26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
Man sinned. Jesus came to redeem us. Man is still so
sinful. Mary appears at Fatima. She tells us that we are offending God, that
we must make reparation to her heart and the heart of her Son.
She gives us the peace plan for the world. She tells us
that the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and her Immaculate Heart will
triumph but we must do what she says. The Church has approved Fatima. The
devil has blocked the message. How can we disobey our Mother? How can we
ignore her? Mary appeared at Fatima and was ignored. Mary appeared to me
almost daily for 14 months--she does not appear as she once did. Jesus has
told me that He will handle these messages, that He is in charge, that the
plan of the Father will unfold despite any person's willfulness.
In August 1996, Mary spoke in the rosary: she said she
could not hold back the hand of her Son any longer. On the 5th of this
month, instead of Mary appearing as she had in the past, Jesus appeared
alive on the crucifix with His mouth moving for twenty minutes. We are not
listening to Mary or to Jesus. Man has sinned. Jesus came to redeem us. Mary
tells us what we must do. Men are disobedient. They disobeyed their Mother.
They do not do what she told them what they must do at Fatima. When hearts
are consecrated to Jesus and Mary they become holy hearts, deeply one with
God. The reign of the Sacred Heart is at hand for He has given to us
abundant grace that we are seeing with such clarity this vision of God. He
has imparted to us understanding into His divine mysteries.
The more we focus on what Jesus and Mary have told us, the
more we will have peace. He is angered by the willfulness of man. He will
get their attention. We are spreading the good news when we spread the
consecration.
We must heed the words of our Mother. She will not go away
because of willful men. We have angered God more by ignoring her. There is
only one way: it is the plan that Mary has given to us at Fatima. He is
lifting the veil for those whose hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of
Jesus and Mary.
Many in the Shepherds of Christ Movement are fervently
loving Him. In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, as the apostles spread the
consecration to the Church, the family, and the school, the fire of His love
will cover the earth and it will be lighted with this love coming from the
Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the
Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph.
We, in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, are spreading the
fire of His love across the earth through the consecration.
The hearts of men will turn from their sick and desolate
ways to hearts gentle as a little lamb. There will be one flock and one
Shepherd and His staff will rule over all. Hearts consecrated to Their
Hearts will lead the light across the earth. This light will be a light of
intense brightness, brighter and hotter than any light from a flame. It will
be the fire of God's love. The Spirit will move in all hearts consecrated to
His Heart, and we will know how fire truly spreads, for the love of God is a
fire, it is vibrant, it is encompassing, it is smoldering, burning deep
within and speedily spreading on the outside. No fires on this earth can
ever describe the burning embers that burn from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
No fire burns like the fires coming from His Heart and hearts filled with
the love from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
On October 13, 1917 Our Lady gave to Lucia and 70,000
spellbound people, a great vision: the sun spun in the sky, casting off
great lights. This happened three times in about 12 minutes. As quoted from Our
Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven:
It seemed that the whole world
was on fire with the sun spinning at a greater speed each time. Then a gasp
of terror rose from the crowd for the sun seemed to tear itself from the
heavens and come crashing down upon the horrified multitudes...just when it
seemed that the ball of fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle
ceased, and the sun resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as
peacefully as ever.
Mary gave this tremendous sign at Fatima and people did
not listen. The events that followed were as she had predicted since we
disobeyed her. There was a brutal war, WWII. Mary appeared to me (Rita Ring)
almost daily - very few have listened. She told me over and over again of
the souls going to hell. She told me in August she could not hold back the
hand of her Son anymore. Adam and Eve sinned. God, the Father, sent His Son.
Man continues to sin--the Father sends Mary but she is ignored!
On July 2, 1996, my son, Joseph, was taking pictures of
all of the Shepherds of Christ members at Tom Arlinghaus' farm. He took one
picture of each person. Jesus told me to tell him to take two pictures of
Fr. Carter. The first picture was a normal picture. The second picture was
of Fr. Carter covered with a pillar of light.
In front of a statue of Our Sorrowful Mother, Mary was
alive in the statue.
Jesus: "Peace will abound when
nations, churches, families, and individuals are consecrated to the Sacred
Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Shepherds of Christ
Movement...is a pillar of light in the darkness."
R. We must encourage all to consecrate
their hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and to join the Shepherds of Christ chapters, and the Apostles of the
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement, to pray for our Church and our world.
Jesus: This is My Movement for renewal of
the Church and the world, based in consecration, joining your every act to
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying the rosary, and making reparation to
Our Hearts, especially on first Fridays and first Saturday. It is through
your prayers and sacrifices many souls will be saved. Grace will flow from
those whose hearts are consecrated to Our Hearts and the fire of My love
will light up this darkened world.
R. Many are living in darkness because
they are not obeying Our Lady. The people will see the light when they obey
her and consecrate their hearts to her heart and the Heart of Jesus.
To have this intense union with Jesus, with God, we must
give ourselves to Our Lady. It is there in the intimacy with Him that we are
saturated with His life and that He reveals to us great lights, great
insights into His divine mysteries. Yes, indeed, the light will steal across
the earth and the hearts of men will be hearts filled with His love. They
will know their God with great light imparted to them by the Holy Spirit
given to them because of the deep union that they have with Jesus. The reign
of the Sacred Heart is at hand. He is giving to us these great lights at
this time for He has lifted the veil and we see many things and the light
steals across the sky and we see with clear vision.
Isaiah 30: 26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
Isaiah 30: 25:
"On every lofty mountain, on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses, on the day of the great slaughter
when the strongholds fall."
Truly His Heart is the fountain of divine life. It flows
through the Church, through the hands of His holy priests. When priests are
consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and celebrating the Mass, and
administering the sacraments, an immense amount of His grace will be
outpoured on the earth.
A people in darkness have seen a great light. Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus, the Light of the World!
Our Father...thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven. We will all love as the Father intends, for now He looks
to the earth and He sees it covered with darkness. As hearts are consecrated
to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the earth will be covered with His light.
Revelation 12:1-12:
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 labor,
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 he 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 scepter, 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. The great dragon, the primeval serpent, known as the devil or Satan,
who had led all the world astray, was hurled down to the earth and his
angels were hurled down with him. Then I heard a voice shout from heaven,
'Salvation and power and empire for ever have been won by our God, and all
authority for his Christ, now that the accuser, who accused our brothers day
and night before our God, has been brought down. They have triumphed over
him by the blood of the lamb and by the word to which they bore witness,
because even in the face of death they did not cling to life. So let the
heavens rejoice and all who live there; but for you, earth and sea, disaster
is coming-because the devil has gone down to you in a rage, knowing that he
has little time left.'
We are in her spiritual womb (heart). She is pregnant,
bringing forth her children of light. As we go to her heart, she crushes the
head of the serpent. Some of the brightest stars that will light up the
earth are in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. We are the children of light.
We are being sent forth as she brings us forth her children of light to
stamp out the darkness. We must give ourselves to Mary.
