Mark 15:34
And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ‘Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?’ which means, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’
R. And so the Good Shepherd knew
pain and suffering.
Jesus endured this for love of you
and love of me.
Should it be that any man would
willingly suffer for another
man, but Jesus suffered
the brutality of the cross –
for love of us.
Why worry when we live to
be greater 'one' in Him. Life
here is passing and our lives
are our todays that will soon
run out.
So why strap ourselves with
negativity when we are one
with God. If we really live and
focus on the presence of God
who dwells in us, Mary says
we cannot help but have joy.
Oh and she appeared in such joy
November 2, 2014. She said to laugh,
to have the joy of knowing God
dwelling in us.
Even in suffering, Jesus
knew joy. Jesus is love.
Jesus loved. Jesus sacrificed
in love for you and for me.
Mary said to have a
joyful heart even in suffering,
a joyful heart when we are
weary, a joyful heart because
of God who dwells IN US.
I love Him so much. He is
so real to me. Faith seeing through
the eyes of the Father – believing
the seen and the unseen – knowing
presence of God – in us in
a special way – in our graced,
baptized soul.
R. And He took me to the highest
hill and He showed me the
city below and it was hustling
and busy and above the throng
it was quiet and serene and He
said to me –
Jesus: Pray My child for
the senseless ones, who have
lost their focus on what really
matters, who have lost their
focus on God. They wander a
barren earth in search of
pearls for their bodies and they
miss the pearls for their hearts
and souls.
A man knew of a treasure in
a field, so he sold his possessions
and he went there after buying
the field, to find his treasure.
Is not your soul more important
than all else and the treasure,
is sure, your intimate union
with God and you put all
Your life in the arms of the
Master and He then guides
you to tranquility and love,
only God can give.
Song: A Song from Jesus
Jesus: Seek True Treasure – Is
it not union with your God –
letting go – knowing presence
of God dwelling in you –
Seek true treasure –
Life is passing here, but
your life is growing more
abundantly in God.
Seek true treasure –
A man went out because He
knew the treasure was buried
in a certain field and he sold
his belongings and bought the
field.
What price must you pay
for intimate union with God –
It is the price of surrender,
letting go, living according to
God's will – trusting in Him –
Let go, My beloved and oh you
see the city below from the
hill as never before. No longer
are you afraid of falling, of
what may come – you see the
city as your calling to conquer
as a soldier in the army of
the Lord.
You see the city to love, the city
to mourn over and to give your
life for the souls below –
You were removed from the
throng to see –
Had you stayed in the city –
your vision would have been
impaired – as one trying to
see on flat ground an aerial
view of it all –
To see from above - you must
seek what is above – be
removed from the throng, the
lost sheep – to see the sheep
and know –
God walks among men and He
calls you to greater union with
Him. When He calls, when He
knocks on your door –
Jesus: What?
Are you full of self and
say "Go away Jesus, I am
full" Full of self, My child?
If you seek yourself – you get
yourself – filled to the brim –
"Lock, stock and barrel" full of
self is a dead-end street –
full of self is a stagnant pond –
A car was made to run on
gas and a man filled it with
water –
He sat and he sat and he sat
and he went NO WHERE –
A boat was made with a
sail, to sail the high sea and
the wind didn't come and
he sat and he sat and he sat . . .
And you were made to
be filled by Me and when
you fill yourself with
the things that are perishable –
Well –
A Carpenter was making a
wood cabinet and he filled
the house with nothing but
little sticks and sand and he
mixed up some mortar to glue
it all together –
What you say –
He had a big mess –
He made nothing –
What a complete joke –
Well you were made for intimacy
with God – You were given a
heart to love and to open to
your Heavenly Father and to Me
and the Holy Spirit.
You received baptism – you
say and then you went into the
world and filled yourself with
sticks and sand and mortar and
what did you make of your
life?
Life is not life, if it is not
rooted in Me – rooted in
God.
Goals – Men have books written
on goals –
Have man - will travel –
If you search the whole world,
build the highest building,
have bags of money in your
silo instead of grain –
You cannot use these things to
suffice for union with
God –
You were created for God –

In all this Mary offers an example. Selfishness was totally foreign to her. She did not belong to herself. She belonged to God. She was not closed in upon herself. She was completely open to God. When God spoke, she listened. When God pointed the way, she followed. She realized that life is not a process a person masters by carefully mapping out one's own self-conceived plans of conquest, but a mystery to be gradually experienced by being open to God's personal and loving guidance.
Selfishness, then, did not close Mary off from God's call. Neither did fear. God asked her to assume a tremendous responsibility. He asked her to be the Mother of Jesus. Mary did not engage in a process of false humility and say that such a great role was above her. She did not say that she did not have the proper qualifications for this awesome mission. Briefly, she did not waste time looking at herself, making pleas that she was not worthy, telling the angel he had better go look for someone else. No, Mary did not look at herself. Her gaze was absorbed in God. She fully realized that whatever God asked of her, His grace would accomplish. She fully realized that although she herself had to cooperate, this work was much more God's than hers.
Mary's words, then, truly sum up what is the authentic Christian response at any point of life, in any kind of situation: "I am the handmaid of the Lord," said Mary, "let what you have said be done to me".

9The Church invites us to share deeply in the passion of Christ, in the cross of Christ. She does so that we might share deeply in His life of resurrection-here and hereafter. The more we die with Christ, the more we share in His life of resurrection-here and hereafter. Our ultimate goal here below is not the cross, but resurrection-the newness of life the cross leads to - here below as well as in eternity.
We are meant to share in all the mysteries of Christ here below-we are meant to relive them in our own lives. And all of these mysteries are directed to the crowning mystery of Jesus, His resurrection: "As the Church is ever re-enacting, during all the ages, the life story of her Divine Spouse-undergoing in the Mystical Body what He suffered in His Natural Body, so it must be too, in some measure, for every individual Christian that lives in real unity with Christ. It was thus that the saints understood the life of the Divine Master. They not merely contemplated it, they lived it. This was the source of the immense sympathy they were capable of experiencing for Him in His different states. They felt in a certain measure what He felt, and what is true of Our Lord's life considered as a whole must be true in no imperfect or limited manner of that which was the supreme and crowing mystery in that life-namely, the Resurrection. This must be, not merely a fact in Christian history, but a phase of Christian experience "...We do not readily perceive that, in God's plan, not only the Cross, but the Risen Life that followed it, is meant to be part of our terrestrial existence. Christ did not pass from the Cross straight to heaven. The Christian is not meant to do so either. In the case of Jesus the Cross preceded, prepared and prefaced a risen life on earth. In the case of the Christian the Cross is meant to play a somewhat similar role-that is, to be the prelude to a risen life, even here below.
The Cross cannot be completely understood except it is viewed in the full light of the Resurrection. It is the latter, not the former, that is the ultimate mystery for us...The Cross is a means, not an end; it finds its explanation only in the empty tomb; it is an entrance into life, not a mode of death. Any death that enters into God's plan must necessarily issue forth in life. If He lays upon us the necessity of dying it is in order that we may live...In order that we may live as we ought, our rebellious nature must be crucified. Crucifixion always remains the only mode of salvation.
"God sends trials and crosses simply to deaden in us the activity of the forces that make for the decay of the spiritual life, in order that that spiritual life may develop and expand unimpeded. According as the life of perverse nature ebbs away from us on our cross united with Christ's, the Divine Life that God has placed in all whom He has called begins to make itself more manifest and to display increased vigour and vitality...It is to that Resurrection, that life in death, that God directs all the circumstances of our life-it is the object He aims at in His dealing with us."
In his above words, Fr. Edward Leen, C.S.Sp., speaks about a special episode of our participation in the resurrection of Jesus. He speaks of our Christ-life, our life of grace, in the highly developed state. We should all strive for this state. We must realize, however, that all those who live in the state of grace are, in an essential way, living the life of resurrection. They are alive in Christ Jesus. St. Paul tells us: "You have been taught that when we were baptized in Christ Jesus we were baptized in His death; in other words, when we were baptized we went into the tomb with Him and joined Him in death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father's glory, we too might have a new life." (Rom 6:3-4).

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.

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are 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.
Priestly Newsletter Book II - 1998 - Issue 4 pp. 172-173
14Archbishop Luis M. Martinez instructs us: "Consecration to the Holy Spirit must be total: nothing must draw us away from His loving possession. Undoubtedly vacillations and deficiencies are part of our imperfection, but even so, our love must not be extinguished. Rather, it must lift its divine flame toward infinite love in the midst of all human vicissitudes.
True devotion to the Holy spirit, therefore, is not something superficial and intermittent, but something profound and constant, like Christian life itself; it is the love of the soul that corresponds to the love of God, the gift of the creature who tries to be grateful for the divine Gift, the human cooperation that receives the loving and efficacious action of God. As divine love is eternal, its gift without repentance and its action constant, it is our part to have our heart always open to love, ready to receive the unspeakable gift, and to keep all our powers docile to the divine movement."

15Patrick J. McDonald, M.S.W, a psychotherapist, tells us how he has discovered the therapeutic value of God’s compassionate love: "I have been associated with the mental health profession for thirty years. My current efforts to heal have evolved into honest and straightforward encounters with people, and that keeps my work as refreshing and challenging as when I first began.
"In my early days, I spent a great deal of time studying the masters in the field in an effort to absorb their almost magical healing techniques. They seemed to possess a special quality that fostered dramatic results where a less experienced person would accomplish nothing. Because of their personal charm, their explanations of what took place in therapeutic encounter were convincing. It was easy to identify with their power, presence and effectiveness.
"After spending years exploring the rich variety of techniques in the ever-expanding field of psychotherapy, I began to realize that the masters made their technique work primarily because they believe in their efficacy. Their technique reflected their persons, values, biases, and blind spots as well as their charisma. The structure, theoretical basis, and conceptual framework of their techniques became convincing ways to explain what took shape in their work with clients. Even then, some explanations remained at the level of pure mythology.
"Romance with techniques began to evaporate quickly as I went through several life transitions of my own. Midlife brought me to a more honest place with myself. The death of both of my parents engendered an honest compassion for the losses of others. A deepening spirituality in the face of loss brought me face-to-face with the compassionate God. Each of these difficult matters brought me back to the hard work of facing myself, an inherently less desirable task than absorbing someone else’s techniques.
"Now I keep techniques somewhere in the background, where they belong. They have their value, of course, but only as part of a disciplined effort to put the client in touch with the same compassionate love of God that touches me. At best, my person becomes a concrete sign of the reality of God’s love for those who are ready to explore it.
"A firm belief that God is the healer in all circumstances has invited me to enter into a reservoir of energy that reflects the power of divine healing. Healing has evolved into an almost effortless labor of love. Consequently, my practice of psychotherapy is now more enjoyable than when I first began the serious study of human development."
16Jean Vanier, founder of L’Arche communities, tells us: "For twenty-five years now I have had the privilege of living with men and women with disabilities. I have discovered that even though a person may have serious brain damage, that is not the source of his or her greatest pain. The greatest pain is rejection, the feeling that nobody really wants you ‘like that’. The feeling that you are seen as ugly, dirty, a burden, of no value. That is the pain I have discovered in the hearts of our people…
"My experience has shown that when we welcome people from this world of anguish, brokenness and depression, and when they gradually discover that they are wanted and loved as they are and that they have a place, then we witness a real transformation—I would even say ‘resurrection’. Their tense, angry, fearful, depressed body gradually becomes relaxed, peaceful and trusting. This shows through the expression on the face and through all their flesh. As they discover a sense of belonging, that they are part of a ‘family’, then the will to live begins to emerge."
One of the most painful sufferings we experience within the human condition is failure. The suffering is often exacerbated because we over-identify with the situation. We have linked too much of our being with the task or whatever else has prompted the failure. We tend to think, for example, that because we have failed in a particular work, we have failed as human beings. However, as much as we may have involved ourselves in the work, we are not the work itself. This is not to say that we are always blameless. We may be considerably at fault regarding the failure. On the other hand, we may be basically without culpability. Whichever the case, we must strive not to over-identify with the situation. This only increases the pain, and needlessly so.
Even though we escape the needless pain of over-identifying with the failure, there are other sufferings involved. There is very obviously the pain of the failure itself. There is also the pain of regrouping, of starting over, of getting on with the rest of life. This is not easy. But the pain involved is less than that which results from remaining mired in failure, allowing it to rob us of some of the joy which is meant to be ours. There have been, are, and will be failures of various kinds and degrees in our lives. In union with our friend, Jesus, the great consoler, let us accept the pain involved, learn from it, and continue the spiritual journey as wiser human beings.

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
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 to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!
"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."
R. I stood a top the hill and I saw
the throng and He let me see
that I would not fall and I
knew I was not alone - ever
again –
Christ was dwelling in my heart and
the Father let me see through
His eyes. I surrendered, there,
my life to Him and the Holy Spirit taught
me about the Mystery of Life
and the plan of God the Father –
I surrendered to the will of God
and freedom was found
AT LAST –

H
E WRAPPED ME IN HIS DIVINE EMBRACE (excerpt)The world is non-existent. It is I and Him, and my whole being merges with Him and this one desire to unite endlessly, forever in the deepest union. Time stands still, and it is the meeting of our hearts, this oneness with Him. I slip into His Heart and nothing here matters, as if I have embraced such depth of union with Him. I want only Him. I see only Him, and I am one in this deep, deep embrace with Him. I lost myself in Him.
My existence is existence only in Him. It is being wrapped in love’s embrace with Divinity.
The world existed around me, and all I knew was the embrace of the Almighty God. My heart sunk into His Heart, and I existed only in Him, my whole being seeing myself existing only in Him.
I saw His body as I stood beneath the cross at Holy Cross
-Immaculata Catholic Church. I wanted to unite with Him eternally in this great depth of love I felt. I wanted to be totally lost in Him forever. By being merged with Him, I existed in Him, knowing only Him and loosing myself. I saw the Child Jesus statue, and I was lost in God. I begged the Father through the tears of tender, loving Mary, in the Holy Spirit, to help me to make His love known to this world, to use me, use my life as He willed to make this love of God known. Then, coming back to myself, I begged the Father, through the tears of the tender, loving Mary, in the name of the Christ Child, in the Holy Spirit, to help me to make His love known to this world, to use me, my life as He willed to make this love of God known.

E WRAPPED ME IN HIS DIVINE EMBRACE (excerpt)Written at 12:30 p.m., in Holy Cross-Immaculata Church:
I wanted to love Him so much. I realized God’s magnificence and goodness, and I wanted to give Him such great love, but I realize my incapacity to love Him more in my human form.
I realize how God is so worthy of all my love. My intellectual realization of how worthy He is, does not match with my attempt to love Him. It hurts to want to love Him so much. He gives me an insight, a light into His magnificence, and I realize my littleness.
So overwhelmed with the desire to give Him love, no thought of myself
- my whole being wants to love Him with this immense love.

Life in Jesus
R.
Born in a town in Bethlehem. Locked in a tomb. Jesus, the Son of God, comes a baby and takes flesh. His will, the will of the Father, He willed to come to this earth and give Himself for men.God wants to outpour His grace to us.
Jesus rose triumphant on the third day. Death has no power over Jesus.
He is God, one, true, omnipotent, mighty, all powerful, God, He humbled Himself to share in our humanity. He allowed Himself to be led to the slaughter, the Lamb of God. He hung bound to a cross to His death. They rolled up the stone to the tomb, thinking they would lock Him in.
The power of the Almighty God will never be contained. It is a force, vibrant, that is not held bound. To be rooted in Him is to have a glow about us.
Jesus:
My life I give to you, My chosen ones, you trod this barren dessert in search of life. I am the way, the truth, the life. I am the light to this world. I am the almighty God. I cannot be contained, I came to give you life, that you might have it to the full. Let not your hearts be glum, come to the source of all life, I am the Almighty God. To know me is to live.I came as a little baby, I was locked in a tomb, but I rose victorious on the third day. You must love and serve the Lord for heaven is a reward promised to those who love and serve the Lord.
R.
How silly to see the men that tied Jesus. They tied Him to the pillar, they nailed Him on the cross, they locked Him in a tomb, He came as a helpless baby.God cannot be contained!
Oh death where is thy sting?
His life in us is a vibrant force within us.
God is Almighty, all powerful. Not contained. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist.
Jesus is truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the Eucharist, no less present than the day He hung on the cross.
R.
We must focus on Him, let go of those things that hold you bound.Jesus:
You will grow more and more in your life with Me as you die to the things of this world.“Unless a grain of wheat shall fall upon the ground and die, it remains, but a single grain, a grain with no life.”
Jesus:
Do not be overly focused on the things of this earth, I provide for you.R.
Look to Him for our needs.Jesus is the new Adam, Mary the new Eve.
Jesus ascended into heaven — He sent the Holy Spirit who descended on the Apostles and Mary.
Jesus told Mary Magdalene not to touch Him, but later He told Thomas to touch Him, when Thomas doubted.

Intimate Moments With Jesus (excerpt)
And He touched me, nothing on the face of this earth is as the touch of the Almighty God. He touched me and there was a communication deep inside between His Divinity and my humanity and He shared with me deep in my soul His touch. I was filled with His Presence. The presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in my graced baptized soul. I love You, I adore You, I worship You, and He touched me. How great are His precious gifts to us to allow us to receive a sharing in, His life in baptism. He gives me His Divine love and He touched me.R.
Jesus is love. We live in Him, to know Him is to love, to unite with Him, to be saturated, filled with His love. Jesus doesn’t unite with a stiff and hard heart, He unites with a heart that is pure and soft and open. We become love, our state is a loving state. Unite with me oh risen Lord, let me feel Your touch deep in my soul. Permeate my soul and penetrate my being. I want to be filled by You. I want to give love. Oh God come and dwell in me.
You are love, You are Divine, I thirst to be one in You to be so saturated, fill me with Your life in my being. I Thirst after You, I seek You. I see you in Your creatures. I see Your goodness in men. I am deeply Yours. I live in You. I am filled by You. Come dwell in me abundantly. My life is Yours — Come and possess my soul.
Oh Bread of Life, I thirst after Your Eucharistic Presence, You are God, one true, Omnipotent, You are my all — this is the song of my soul. IN You I experience life.
You are life, you are love, in You I want to be holy.
We are one body in Him, He is the Head, we are the members. I love myself, my life is rooted in Him. He is the Vine, we are the branches. In Him, with Him, through Him I live. To cut myself off from the source of life is to wither up and die. A branch cannot live on its own.
Galatians 2: 19-20
...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.
In You Lord, I find my life.
Jesus:
I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life, you are one in Me, in Me you have life, without Me you wither and die. I am the vine, you are the branches, you live as you stay rooted in Me.
Song: I Love You Jesus

Wrapped in Love
I am wrapped by the warm arms of Mary, my Mother, deep in my heart. Also I know the presence of God within me. So deep is my rapture to be joined in such a union with God.R.
No words can explain Such peace and elation, joy, intensity, God in us. (in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel)
R.
My gift from Him on the 17th’s, Oh my God, how I love you, I love you, I love you.
May 26, 1995
Speak of Me
How can we say we love Him with our whole being when we do not speak of Him.R.
We must operate from the force of love within, we become one, in that we are jointly connected to spread His love.
The message is His love, let our tongues with which we receive Him be the same tongues that proclaim His message to the world.
He gives us His life, His Word alive in us coming forth from the mouth as we speak and we receive Him truly present in the Eucharist.
He feeds us with Himself, He outpours His life in us, we preach His Gospel that His love will live in the hearts of all.
Let our hearts sing and declare His wondrous deeds, for He is King of all nations, let our hearts declare the wonders of our marvelous King. Let us worship Him and give Him homage and sing His praises for He is King of all Kings.
We worship our football stars. Who is your God, do you love God with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole being?

The Pain - Naples, Florida (excerpt)

Satan has tried to stop all efforts to publish and circulate these messages. I am the Almighty God. The funds will come when you circulate and publish these messages and rosaries under the Shepherds of Christ Publishing. I am working with Fr. Carter and Rita as messenger to renew the Church and the world. Each messenger has a very vital role in the Father’s plan. The significance of these messages are being overlooked. You are not studying the messages as a whole and their content. There are five unpublished
Blue Books and more than four Rosary Books which I and My Mother have given to this world in the last 14 months. I have also given 15 songs of My love. I am begging you to see to the recording and publishing of this music. I beg you to listen. This is the mighty medicine for the Church and the world to draw men to the burning love of Jesus. Please harken to My call. I will send you the money. You must study and read these messages. This is a fulfillment of Fatima - these messages were given to bring priests to the burning love of Jesus. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.
Excerpt from June 29, 1995 Rosary
The Birth of Jesus
R. Jesus Christ, the Son of God laying in a manger and He laid down His life for His sheep. Jesus comes into this earth born on bare wood and He goes out hanging on a cross of bare wood. He came to this earth for each one of us. How He loves us. He comes not adorned in gold and silver, but wrapped in swaddling clothes and laying in a manger. The Son of God comes into this world in a little baby body. This is the love that God the Father has for each one of us that He sent His only begotten Son into this world.5.
6.
R. Jesus, rejected by the men of the earth, but the Heavens proclaimed His glory. The star shone above His bed.7.
R. We know so little of the love of God. We meditate on this mystery how God so loved the world that He comes to this earth and puts on a human body. Would we be so fearful if we realized His presence and how close He is to us. He is with us. Second by second, minute by minute He dwells in our hearts. We are never alone. I know this interior life, I go inside of me and meditate on this presence with me. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us in a special way when we are in the state of grace. Jesus appeared His Heart ablaze. The Heart of burning love for His precious souls. Jesus the Son of God is born a baby in the town of Bethlehem and He comes and wants us to give Him our love.
