December 1st Holy Spirit Novena
Scripture selection is Day 3 Period I.
The Novena Rosary Mystery
for December 1st is Glorious.

                                                                   

To: Shepherds of Christ
Date: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 2:49 PM
Subject: Thanks!

Dear Mr. Weickert,

 
This is a very belated acknowledgement of your letter dated July 18, 2001.  When it arrived here I was on leave in my native country, ______.  When I came back to South Africa, two days after the 11th September tragedy, it took time to catch up with matters.
 
I was sad to learn from your letter about the death of Father Edward Carter.  May his soul rest in peace with the Lord. 
 
Since the arrival of your letter we have also received the 2nd issue of the Shepherds of Christ Newsletter, together with a large consignment of Prayer Manuals for the Shepherds of Christ Associates. 
 
 As usual, the Newsletter will go to all priests and houses of religious in our diocese. 
 
As regards the prayer manuals, I will discuss with our diocesan vocations co-ordinator the possibility of bringing together the idea of your movement's prayer chapters with our effort to establish the Living Rosary.  The aim of the latter is prayer for vocations and for seminarians and priests.
 
Many of our people are still only semi literate, but they have a great love for the Church and realize that the times when they could rely on getting priests from elsewhere are gone.
 
May the Lord bless your wonderful work!
 
Wishing you a fruitful Advent and holy Christmas,
 
Sincerely yours in the Lord,     + _______, Bishop of ______, S. Africa

      

Messenger: We have a Donor that will match the funds for the Newsletter so for every $1 you give, the donor will match the money for the Newsletter until we get $150,000 for the Newsletter Book II.

Jesus wants it out —

Please we need the money urgently because God the Father wants the Newsletter Book II out by Christmas.

After Communion

Messenger:       I just want to feel this deep presence I feel of God
                            within me all day as I feel now after communion.
                            I love God so much. Now during Mass I cannot
                            help but to unceasingly tell Him how much I love
                            Him. Just over and over again I tell Him, Oh 
                            God I love You so much, Oh God I love You so
                            much, I want to give You such love.

                          Inside I am moved to tears to be there at Mass
                            and on specials feasts I am so deeply moved,
                            I want to celebrate so deeply that Feast, to be
                            so deeply united to God and the whole world in
                            those moments at Mass, I want to be so deeply
                            united to all the angels and saints.
                          It is a place I am in - deep in my soul. I cannot 
                            express every facet I am in, in the Mass, but
                            I still try to write about it. I am so one in Him my
                            beloved Jesus, I am so one in the Holy Spirit.
                            My whole disposition of offering myself
                            completely to God—Father, Son and Holy
                            Spirit is there. My relationship with each
                            Person continually deepens and that relationship
                            reaches an expression of fullness at the Mass
                            that I cannot even explain. I relate to 
                            the Deity at Mass so deeply. My understanding
                            of God as one is very deep. I know each Person
                            so intimately and that reaches a summit
                            of expression in the Mass, far beyond anything
                            I can express here on paper with my pen,
                            but His grace given when others read
                            this can help open that door to a deeper
                            love union with God in the Mass for others if
                            they cooperate with the grace He gives.
                                I go to the inner chamber of His Heart, my
                            beloved Jesus. I lay my head on His chest
                            with a tenderness, I cannot explain. My
                            desire to love Him in that Mass is so deep.
                            I feel the sacredness of that Mass. I treasure
                            the moments. I know being in that Mass is so
                            very important to me. Going to Mass is the 
                            center of my day.

                                I bring to that Mass, my life, I offer 
                            myself to my God so deeply, more
                            deeply all the time as I grow in a deeper
                            love union with God, all Three Persons.
                            I unite more deeply the deeper I relate to all
                            the angels and saints.

                                It is an expression of my self being
                            offered to my God, relating so very deeply
                            to Him.
                                Since writing the letters to my Father daily
                            my relationship with the Father has deepened
                            and thus my means of relating to the 
                            Father at Mass has deepened so much.
                                I live in the Holy Spirit. I feel His
                            presence permeate my being. It is His
                            presence that fills my heart on fire for
                            the love of Jesus, for love of my God.

                                It is so difficult to express in words the
                            depth I know about my God and my deep
                            relationship with all Three Persons.

                                My relationship with all Three Persons deepens
                            every day as I unite to God and live more
                            deeply in God.
                                I can write about it in great depth. I continually
                            grow in my love union with all Three Persons.
                            I continually grow in my relationships with others,
                            the saints and angels and I am united to the souls
                            in purgatory in prayer, I love them so much.
                                I bring to the Mass, myself as a sacrifice united
                            to the sacrifice of Jesus and I come united to others.
                            I have a deep relationship with God and others.

                                More and more I am deeply united to the angels
                            and saints, they are very real to me. My heart is
                            united to them.

                                I am united in a very deep way to all the members
                            of the body of Christ. I feel the pain of knowing
                            many do not treasure the gifts given to them
                            in the Eucharist and in the Church, I feel
                            the pain of those in sin. I want the members
                            to be so mature in their love union with
                            God and all others.

                                We are like a big family. I want this most
                            perfected love amongst the members of the
                            Church so they will truly shine as a beacon
                            light to the world and be instruments
                            used by God to be a light to the world.

                                Oh the Church is so wonderful. What a
                            gift God has given to us to be members of
                            the Church. We are His precious spouse.
                            Jesus is my Spouse. I am so united to Him
                            and I see my role as His spouse to help in
                            leading souls to Him. This is fruit for the
                            Kingdom.

                            Oh I feel such oneness inside of me.
                            I feel unity.
                            I feel oneness.
                            I see the world united in Him.
                            I see children knowing God the Father
                                and knowing Jesus so intimately
                                and knowing the Power of the Holy
                                Spirit so alive in them.

                            I see children knowing and loving Mary
                                their Mother, not ignoring her, not
                                blaspheming her etc.

                            I see how it will be in the Reign of the
                                Sacred Heart and triumph of Mary's
                                Immaculate Heart.
                                We are a sick world now.
                                We are in need of healing.
                                We are in need of God's grace.

                            God is!!
                            He is not going to change!
                            The Sacred Heart will Reign on the earth!              

                            The world will be changed.

                            There will be a great era of peace.

                            That is where we come in.
                                He has made us messengers to deliver the message
                                    in God's Blue Book and the Daily Messages
                                    and the writings of Father Carter.

                            He has spoken to us.
                                Mother Mary has appeared for five years now to
                                help bring to completion the mission she began
                                    at Fatima at the beginning of the century.

                            This is reality to me.
                                The Mother of God appeared to me daily for
                                    14 months. She talked to me everyday.
                                    I know her message so, so well.

                                    Her message is chiseled in my soul.
                                    I must deliver her message.

                                    Our children are being fed garbage.
                                    Here is a message Jesus gave me
                                         December 19, 1993.

  


          

Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

The World Has Become Evil 

God's Blue Book I CoverDecember 19, 1993

Jesus speaks:  My heart is sad and I am drawn to pain from what the children see. Little, beautiful children watching hate among people, hate on television, brutality, right in their own homes. You live in this world and, even though you don't watch TV, you have been numbed by how truly evil your world has become. To live in this world is to be numbed to evil. It is all around, like a red flag, and what is not being acted out on TV and in movies is in games and toys, comic books, Nintendo, little action figures that depict ugly creatures with hate all over them, deformed and mean. Even the good guys look evil! Toys are evil. Children are playing with evil things. Ugly things-cute, ugly things. No, ugly things entirely! And they are playing with them.

    A child gets a fun meal and gets an ugly action figure. Oh, how lucky! Violence in your hamburger! You just don't even know how evil your world is because you live in it!

    People watch an evil TV and read evil magazines and papers. Acts that are committed by your brothers are so evil that it is almost unbelievable. Murdering an innocent baby so a mother can have her freedom. Why not go in and murder your toddlers because they get in your way? Where does this selfishness stop? Nothing is evil enough for Satan! He aims for the jugular vein.

    If you could even comprehend how evil your world has become! Men's hearts are so hard and their ways reflect the evilness in the world. People are reflecting an evil world. If you go from Me and try to make sense of this world, if you want to be a part of this world, you must become a part of the evil. There is no way you can be of the world and not be sick. The world is really sick. If the world is your main goal-and making it work-you become very sick. There is no way to straddle the fence. You are Godly or worldly. There is a division as distinct as black and white. So how can you in your families experience anything but division right down the middle-those who are for God and those who are in the world!?

    The world is evil. If people choose the world, their lives become evil. They watch bad movies, bad TV in eating places, violent Nintendo games, violence while they eat. It isn't that My children are bad. They are beautiful souls created by God, but they don't want to give up their world. They put it before God, so they reflect the evil they live with minute-by-minute, day-by-day!

    Those who choose Me first can no longer watch TV or go to the movies. They have trouble at their work with people in the world. People in the workplace are just people of the world. The world is evil so they accept evil things. Those of God are shocked! Language that is disrespectful, disrespect for one another, violence, hardness in people's ways, emphasis on a "me first" attitude, a "deceive and use your brother" attitude. These are anything but God-like. They are evil! You, My children, are in a very evil world. To interact with anyone who has chosen the world is to deal with the evils the world has implanted in hearts as okay.

    Your battle is very hard. The division is so deep between those who choose God and those who have chosen the world. They who choose the world are blocking their aching souls, telling themselves lies about what is happening around them to stay fixed to the world. The truth is so distorted in the papers and on TV. What is right is made wrong and what is wrong is made right. Deception, over and over again! Evil wins out as being okay at the movies. In this particular case, evil is okay. The whole movie plays up to the end which is evil, acceptable in this case. Evil is never acceptable. The truth is the truth. I am the way, the truth and the life. He who abides in Me will have the light of life. Woe to those who twist the truth and teach it to others. They are responsible for the souls of those they injure. The promoters of evil and deception will pay for their influences, not only by their deeds but also by their example and the souls they injured through their deception!

    Oh, poor, poor little children, don't get bogged down by your brothers. You know the truth. It is planted in your hearts. Pray constantly and don't ever watch TV or listen to those who boast of their sick ways. Your hearts need to remain pure and fixed on Me. If you do not pray in front of the tabernacle you get bogged down in this world. Have a prayer corner for time alone with Me at home. Pray the rosary together each day to protect your family. It is your umbrella against an evil reign.

    Oh, little ones, I am so close to you. You need to pray to Me constantly. Satan is out to trip you up. He is there and gets you in a split second and you wonder, with your pure hearts, "What hit me?" You know he comes like a thief in the night and without warning attacks, hard and fast, your little hearts. Then he tries to make you feel guilty for what he just did to you! And sometimes, My sweethearts, you listen to him. Cast him out by the precious Body and Blood of Jesus! Keep these words on your lips as your defense and then see Me bloodied from head to toe for love of you.

    Watch your children. If he is this cunning with adults, think how he attacks the young and innocent without a whimper. He hits them hard. They see TV and games and other children who are mean and their innocent minds get distorted views of the truth while they are still tiny babies. An evil world makes evil hearts. It is a sick world. It raises a sick culture which has sick children.

    Oh, what a setup! You have a chance, America. You have Me and I am here with you every day in the Eucharist. I have all the power. Satan does not have My power. He uses people and gets their power. Guard against his ways. You are under attack from the very culture which bore you. You have a chance. You have Me and I have you. With My might, one person fixed to God can lead an army. Never, ever, doubt your commitment to Me. It is a 24-hour, minute-by-minute commitment in this world. You need never to let your commitment to Me down for a split second. I am He Who sustains you in an evil world. You, America, don't know how truly evil your world has become. You are about to be shaken off your rocker. How can such evil continue?

    Prepare the way of the Lord. I will come like a thief in the night and those who stay fixed to their evil ways will be swallowed up. Prepare your hearts for your God. He is all that matters. The world is very, very sick. Don't go to the world to feed your heart. It will swallow it up and you will be heartless. This world is heartless. Oh, little babies, protect your children. Teach them about Me at their first day here. I am all that matters. Other teachings will not save your soul. Your children need to be taught about God. Pray to the Holy Spirit every day. You need to receive all My gifts. He will make your way clear like a snowplow on a winter evening. You will see the road clear ahead, but only by the direction of the Spirit. Pray for His gifts and profess your love to Him. Love My Father and the Holy Spirit. They want you to profess your love to Them. We are three persons in God. Love each of Us!

    We love you so. Know Us all and pray to Mary. You need her strength against the devil. She is ready to battle with you in this evil world. You are in battle. You are under attack. Your supplies are given in front of the tabernacle in quiet moments alone with Me. I give you your arms to fight this evil war. If you do not come, you are going into battle without ammunition. You need your arms. Come to Me and let Me give you your supplies. Your children need your committedness to Me. The world needs every last soul to be holy to fight this battle. It is a heritage you pass on to others when you come and pray with Me.

    You are the light to the darkened night. You are little but mighty because you are powered by God and His light is the brightest light. Be vigilant. Do not put down your guard. You are under fire by a sick world. When you are fired at, it is sudden and abrupt. You are not warned. You are just fired at. Come to Jesus to get your arms. Only He can give you what you need. Oh, how I love you. I love you to My death. I love you with intensity. I am your Savior, your one, true God. Alleluia. You have warded off another attack!

December 19, 1996 

Mary: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.

    I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.

    I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book.

Messenger:        Here is a message I got from Jesus and Mary
                                that same day. 
                                    (from St. Gertrude's Church)

   


       

December 19, 1996
Received in a few minutes after Communion
St. Gertrude Church

Jesus: My Beloved Ones,

    You will know a great time of trial and darkness. I have written to you of the great sufferings to come. The sinfulness of this world greatly displeases Me. I beg you to pray for forgiveness and turn your hearts to love.

    And darkness covered the earth and the light was cast in little corners of the earth. Those who were willful remained in intense darkness, those who were rooted in God, and giving themselves to consecration, were the children of the light.

    And the light shown in the darkness and the darkness grasped it not, but to as many as responded, they became the children of the light and from them His life flowed into the hearts that were cold and dark and slowly, very slowly, the light began to steal across the darkened sky and the moon was covered with blood. The blood was the blood of the Lamb. The blood represented the blood He shed to give us life. But the blind just saw ordinary blood and were scared to death. They responded with the greatest fright and lacked peace, but those rooted in God, those whose hearts were consecrated to Mary and Jesus, knew the sign was from God--that the time of reckoning was at hand. Many were punished and suffered a great chastisement. Many were left to death, but the children of light prayed the rosary and trusted in God.

    And the night was no more for the light of day came stealing across the sky and myriads of angels filled the sky and the heavens. Sing Alleluia, Praise the Lord, you saints and angels, show yourselves to the survivors for they walked in darkness and could not see, but the light was alive in their hearts and they dwelt within the furnace of His Heart.

    Have no fear now, My people, for you are the children of the light and My hand is forever upon you. You may suffer now a little, but it is nothing compared to the splendor to come.

R. Oh, reign of peace, reign of the Sacred Heart, triumph of her Immaculate Heart, we wait for you anxiously for the nights have been cold and dark and we cried a bitter cry in the darkness but we knew of the glories to come for we forever trusted in You and Your mighty hand.

    Your hand is struck with power. The Virgin Mary warned the poor children that died an eternal death to mind their ways and they cried out, "Not me, oh, no, God—your ways are stiff necked and cruel. I want for foolish pleasure now and tomorrow will care for itself."

    And the Lord called and called and they marched into the darkness with cold hearts, telling the Almighty God, 'no'.

Mary: Oh, my children, my little children of light, the time is nigh and many will be lost forever. I appeared and warned and told all to mind their ways and come to the Heart of my Son and they said "No, my Lady, not for you or any mother. We are children of darkness and that we remain, for we seek our pleasure by day and feast on sin all night and when you called, mother, we laughed at your Son and ignored Him and His ways." And He called and His call fell on deaf ears.

    Please, my children of light, come to my heart now for although you walked next to the children of darkness. I smite the dragon that whirled around you and protected you in my heart and you will now feast on the glories of His Kingdom, my little children of light.

Messenger:         I write for you as I am directed by Him.

                            I write as a messenger of God.

                            God is light and in Him there is no darkness.

                            We can be aided in knowing the truth
                                by looking for the light.

                            Here is a prayer in the Holy Spirit Novena
                                praying for the truth.

  


      

Little Prayers to the Holy Spirit

Dear Holy Spirit, help us not to be ignorant or indifferent or weak, help us to be strong with the love of God.

Dear Holy Spirit, please pray for our needs for us.

Dear Holy Spirit, help us to respect God and to avoid sin. Help us to live in the Father's will.

Dear Holy Spirit, help us to keep Your commandments and to respect authority. Help us to love all things as You will us to love them. Help us to want to pray and always serve God with the greatest love. Help us to know the truth. Help us to have the gift of faith, hope, and love. Help us to know what is right and what is wrong.

      


    

November 30, 2001 message continues

Messenger:         The prayers Jesus gave us in the Holy Spirit
                                Novena and the Shepherds of Christ Prayers
                                are so important to help in the
                                renewal of the Church and the 
                                world. 

                            God is light and in Him there is no darkness.

                            Jesus came as a baby, born in poverty.

                            Sometimes we think our life should be
                                exciting all the time.

                                The more we know Him, it is exciting
                                    just to live and grow deeper
                                    and deeper in our love union
                                    with God and with all others.

                            Think of the quiet life Jesus had on earth the first 30 years.
                            We must live to love God, and do God's will. This can be
                                the everyday things we do living in love.

                                John the Baptist -
   
                                         He came to prepare a way for the Lord.

   


   

Matthew 3: 3

                           This was the man spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said: 

                              A voice of one that cries in the desert,
                             ‘Prepare a way for the Lord,
                              make his paths straight.’

Messenger:        We have been given these messages to 
                                help prepare a way so Christ
                                will be so alive in the
                                men's hearts.

                            The Blue Books are tender messages from
                                Jesus to lead men into a deeper
                                love union with God.

                            We are here preparing for our eternal life.

                            We are here maturing more and more in our
                                love union with God and with
                                others.
                                We should be deepening in our love
                                    union with the angels and saints.
                                We should be deepening in our love
                                    union with all our brothers and 
                                    sisters on this earth.

                                We are the People of God.
                                God wants us to be one living in love.

                            Let's just look at the situation.

                                God is.
                                God creates man.
                                Man sins.
                                God sends His Son to redeem us.
                                God gives us a sharing in His life.
                                We are the children of God.

                                God sends Our Lady of Fatima.
                                    People do not listen.
                                    She warns, she says if you do not
                                        listen then there will be
                                        a War.

                                She says you will see a sign in the sky.
                            
     


           

Excerpt from Father Carter's Book

The Spirituality of Fatima

July 13, 1917

During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

    You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

    The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)

    To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. if not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

    But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. (13)

                            God is the ultimate power.

                            Men can choose to love God and others or not.
                            God will grant to many of us an eternal reward 
                                to be with Him in heaven, this depends
                                on how we lived our life to love and

Romans 10: 9-18

That if you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and if you believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved. It is by believing with the heart that you are justified, and by making the declaration with your lips that you are saved. When scripture says: No one who relies on this will be brought to disgrace, it makes no distinction between Jew and Greek: the same Lord is the Lord of all, and his generosity is offered to all who appeal to him, for all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Israel has no excuse

How then are they to call on him if they have not come to believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard of him? And how will they hear of him unless there is a preacher for them? And how will there be preachers if they are not sent? As scripture says: How beautiful are the feet of the messenger of good news.
     But in fact they have not all responded to the good news. As Isaiah says: Lord, who has given credence to what they have heard from us? But it is in that way faith comes, from hearing, and that means hearing the word of Christ.
     Well then, I say, is it possible that they have not heard? Indeed they have: in the entire earth their voice stands out, their message reaches the whole world.

Excerpt of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, by Louis J. Puhl, S.J.
 

136. THE FOURTH DAY

        A MEDITATION ON TWO STANDARDS

The one of Christ, our supreme leader and lord,
the other of Lucifer, the deadly enemy of our
human nature

PRAYER.   The usual preparatory prayer.

window at a former Jesuit Seminary

137. FIRST PRELUDE.   This is the history. Here it will be that Christ calls and wants all beneath His standard, and Lucifer, on the other hand, wants all under his.

138. SECOND PRELUDE.   This is a mental representation of the place. It will be here to see a great plain, comprising the whole region about Jerusalem, where the sovereign Commander-in-Chief of all the good is Christ our Lord; and another plain about the region of Babylon, where the chief of the enemy is Lucifer.

139. THIRD PRELUDE.   This is to ask for what I desire. Here it will be to ask for a knowledge of the deceits of the rebel chief and help to guard myself against them; and also to ask for a knowledge of the true life exemplified in the sovereign and true Commander, and the grace to imitate Him.
   

FIRST PART

THE STANDARD OF SATAN

140. FIRST POINT.   Imagine you see the chief of all the enemy in the vast plain about Babylon, seated on a great throne of fire and smoke, his appearance inspiring horror and terror.

141. SECOND POINT.   Consider how he summons innumerable demons, and scatters them, some to one city and some to another, throughout the whole world, so that no province, no place, no state of life, no individual is overlooked.

142. THIRD POINT.   Consider the address he makes to them, how he goads them on to lay snares for men and bind them with chains. First they are to tempt them to covet riches (as Satan himself is accustomed to do in most cases) that they may the more easily attain the empty honors of this world, and then come to overweening pride.

   The first step, then, will be riches, the second honor, the third pride. From these three steps the evil one leads to all other vices.
   

SECOND PART

THE STANDARD OF CHRIST

143.   In a similar way, we are to picture to ourselves the sovereign and true Commander, Christ our Lord.

144. FIRST POINT.   Consider Christ our Lord, standing in a lowly place in a great plain about the region of Jerusalem, His appearance beautiful and attractive.

145. SECOND POINT.   Consider how the Lord of all the world chooses so many persons, apostles, disciples, etc., and sends them throughout the whole world to spread His sacred doctrine among all men, no matter what their state or condition.

146. THIRD POINT.   . . .

Messenger:        We live to be possessed by God.

                            The desire within us, the thirst

Messenger:        In His plan in the Shepherds of Christ Movement,
                                Our Lord is giving us writings and 
                                messages and prayers to help us advance
                                deeper and deeper in this love union
                                with God.

                            To be as St. Paul says   

    Gal 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... 

    We are the family of the Father. We are placed here
         on the earth by God.

                            Can you see how we are scattered
                                and divided.

                            Some have murdered their children.
                            Do you think Our Father in heaven is
                                pleased with the actions of some
                                of the children of this earth.

                               We are all brothers and sisters.

                               We are saddened some are offending God.

                               We pray for our brothers and sisters.

                            I want you to see a big family on this earth
                                with lots of brothers and sisters.
                            It is a family that is united and love one
                                another.
                            Some of the members might not be doing all they should.
                                Other members pray for them 
                                    because they love them so much.

                            In God's family -
                                God is Our Father, Mary is the heavenly
                                Mother and she appears and says, you
                                are offending God.

                                This is serious.
                                You must obey Him.

  


  

Revelation 12
The vision of the woman and the dragon

     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 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.'
     As soon as the dragon found himself hurled down to the earth, he sprang in pursuit of the woman, the mother of the male child, but she was given a pair of the great eagle's wings to fly away from the serpent into the desert, to the place where she was to be looked after for a time, two times and half a time. So the serpent vomited water from his mouth, like a river, after the woman, to sweep her away in the current, but the earth came to her rescue; it opened its mouth and swallowed the river spewed from the dragon's mouth. Then the dragon was enraged with the woman and went away to make war on the rest of her children, who obey God's commandments and have in themselves the witness of Jesus.

    


  

Revelation 19: 1-10

Songs of victory in heaven

     After this I heard what seemed to be the great sound of a huge crowd in heaven, singing, ‘Alleluia! Salvation and glory and power to our God! He judges fairly, he punishes justly, and he has condemned the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her prostitution; he has avenged the blood of his servants which she shed.’ And again they sang, ‘Alleluia! The smoke of her will rise for ever and ever.’  Then the twenty–four elders and the four living creatures threw themselves down and worshipped God seated on his throne, and they cried, ‘Amen, Alleluia.’
     Then a voice came from the throne; it said, ‘Praise our God, you servants of his and those who fear him, small and great alike.’ And I heard what seemed to be the voices of a huge crowd, like the sound of the ocean or the great roar of thunder, answering, ‘Alleluia! The reign of the Lord our God Almighty has begun; 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.’ The angel said, ‘Write this, "Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb," ’ and he added, ‘These words of God are true.’ Then I knelt at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, ‘Never do that: I am your fellow–servant and the fellow–servant of all your brothers who have in themselves the witness of Jesus. God alone you must worship.’ The witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

February 23, 1996 - from the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart booklet

He Remains with Us, Truly Present

    God sees us as one family, His beloved creatures. He loves us each with the deepest personal love. He sees us united. It is our love for one another that pleases Him. There is not division in God. He loves each of us and knows our uniqueness. He loves all of us as His creatures. We are all members of His holy family. He wants all His children to inherit the Kingdom of God.
 
   I find refuge by dwelling within His most precious Heart. I feel the inner glow, the heat. I feel the calm beating of His heart. It is there I am wrapped in His burning love. It is there I am united deeply to my most beloved Father. It is there I am joined with the permeating, moving action of the Holy Spirit.

    It is my refuge, in this dark and troubled world. It is my heaven on earth, to be joined in love with all He has created, to have perfect peace and know God's chamber of peace and love.

    I see the darkness, the vileness of this world, and I go to His Heart. I see, with rose-colored glasses. I see as He wants us to see with eyes of love. I want to love and see as He sees. It is in this deepest chamber of His Heart that I have found the Kingdom of God on earth, for He has said, the Kingdom of God is within you. The Kingdom of God, our little heaven on earth, is in dwelling deeply within Their Hearts. In His Heart is love and in His Heart is peace, in His Heart we are all one as He intends us to be. "But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, 'Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?' And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother." (Matt: 12:48-50)1 We draw in our beloved sisters and brothers by the love that radiates from our eyes, our gentle touch, our loving concern.

    Strip yourself of the attachments to this world. Find peace in the freedom of living according to His will, living *In Him, *in this magnificent Heart.

    He came, He walked the earth, for love of us. He took on a human body. He gave His adorable Heart that we could live *In Him. He no longer walks this earth, He gives us Himself in the Holy Eucharist. He gives us a human *heart, pierced with a lance, crowned with thorns and holding the cross. The way to this fiery furnace, the way to life in Him, is through much suffering and pain. We identify with Him in all our actions, all our joys and sufferings, united to Him as we live our lives in Him. We walk the Passion, we feel the joys, the deep love in His Heart for His Mother, for all His beloved creatures. We carry out His life in our life.

    I am Yours, my Lord. I love You with my whole heart, my whole soul, my whole being. I have found the Kingdom of God on this earth. I have found life in You. When I see the darkness in this troubled world, I go to the deepest, hottest chamber of Your Heart and I am bathed in your abundant love. I take with me my troubled brothers in my heart and I plead for their return to their God who is all worthy of all honor and love and adoration.

    I am Yours, Lord, I consecrate my heart to You to live forever in this holy place. I want to die to all that is not of You, that I can be united in the deepest way to You, that my heart will know Your love, that as I live in this world I can truly say, "It is no longer I who live, but He who lives in me."

    O, Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I give You my all. I come to You surrounded by the pure and loving heart of Your Mother. I know You won't refuse me in my wretchedness when I come to You in the heart of Your beloved Mother.

    The Holy Spirit permeates the very depth of my soul and I enter into the deepest chamber of His fiery Heart. It is there I feel so little, as a little child, and I unite to my most beloved Father. I feel in Your fiery heart the presence of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in the deepest, whitest chamber, in the center of the deepest love. I unite with God and I know my dwelling in You is truly a little heaven on earth.

    The Kingdom of God is at hand. There will be an era of peace. We will all be one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We will be one happy family where there will only be love: love of God and love of one another.

    And the city shone with the brightest light for within their hearts they knew the love of God and it radiated into the world. There was no longer darkness that covered the earth, but light, radiating from those dwelling within the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. And the star shone over His bed at Bethlehem. He is truly the light of the world and the light shone in the darkness and all who came to this light lived in the light and lived according to the light.

    It is in this that we trust, that in all the darkness of the world that the light will shine when men are dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

    And, He says: I am the way, the truth and the life. He who abides in me will have the light of life. He came, He was born a baby, He died on a cross, but as He hung on that cross on Calvary, He was the light that shone as the brightest light to the world, withered, beaten and bloodied. He was the brightest light in the darkened sky. It was through His death all men were promised a chance for real life, for eternal salvation.

    And the light came forth from the tomb in power and glory, adorned in bright, glistening light. He stood before them with His glorified wounds: His pierced Heart of endless love and He gave them the newness of life-life in Him. The light shone in the darkness. He gave them a sharing in His Divine Life through Baptism and ascended into heaven to prepare a place for us, but He remained with us, truly present, in His Eucharistic Heart. He feeds us with His own Body and Blood. He gives us the Bread of Life. He is the Savior of the World and we live in newness of life because God first loved us!

Jesus speaks: My beloved Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, I have called you to a special apostleship, My beloved ones. I am crying out to you from My Eucharistic Heart to pray as you have never prayed before. The power, My dear chosen ones, is in the Eucharist. Your world is in a very serious state. The Church, the pope, the bishops, the priests, the Sisters and Brothers are all in need of tremendous prayer power.
    You have been called to the quiet of the tabernacle to take your prayer petitions to My Eucharistic Heart. The renewal of the Church and the world is at hand. From the prayers you pray here, many graces will be granted.
    I am calling all in this Movement as well as all others in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to consecrate their hearts to My Heart and the heart of My Mother. All through the day I am calling you, priests, sisters and brothers in the religious life, laity, including children, to give your hearts to Me and to My beloved Mother. As you dwell in Our Hearts you will be one with each other.
    Come to Me with your petitions. I am truly present in the tabernacle, no less present than the day I walked the earth. I wait for you to come and to pray for your Church and your world. Many graces will be given there for the priesthood and those in the religious life. I have chosen each priest and sister and brother in the religious life to help spread My love to this world. The highest calling is to be called to the priesthood. The calling I give to My beloved priests, sisters and brothers is a special spousalship to Me. How My Heart is wounded by the priests and sisters and brothers in the religious life who have turned worldly. I, the almighty God, call them to such a deep intimate love affair with Me and they go to the world for their love.
    When the religious are fixed in My Heart many will be fed by My burning love.
    The world is in a state of urgency. The Church in part has become worldly. The medicine for the hurting world is My burning love. Nothing, nothing will feed the starved soul but the love of God. I am calling you to pray for My holy priests, to pray that all priests come to a state of deep holiness.
    I have called you as part of the Shepherds of Christ Movement to join in prayer before Me and to beg for graces for your Church and your world.
    The renewal of My Church and My world will be helped greatly through many giving themselves to this movement.
    At Fatima My Mother said that, until a sufficient number of faithful are consecrating their hearts to My Heart and the heart of My Mother, there will not be peace in this world.
    In the Shepherds of Christ Movement including the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement, I am reaching the priests, sisters and brothers in the religious life, laity, including the children - with this Consecration.
    As you dwell in Our hearts you are one with us. As you give yourselves to our Hearts, you are one in our Hearts. These movements will prosper for all are joined in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. You will proceed ahead in one heart and one mind. You will be more joined as a true family, brothers and sisters, living according to the will of your heavenly Father and dwelling in the heart of your heavenly Mother.
    Oh, beloved children, in these movements you have been hand-picked and chosen for this mission by Me. I am giving to you such graces to unite more and more deeply to My Heart. You will be one with each other and one with God. As you dwell in My Mother's heart and My Heart, you unite with the Father in the Holy Spirit.
    You are especially chosen, my apostles, to help carry My love to this world. As you join in this oneness with Me, I live in you and you in Me and I am alive in this world in a special way through this union.
    I have called you to this apostleship, I am guarding your every breath, I am giving you abundant graces to help carry out the plan of the Father. "Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28)1
    Bring the cares of the Church and the world to Me. I am waiting to give you all you need. I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I live this day in the world. I am truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. Come to Me and I will live in you.
    I love you, I love you, I love you. I am your beloved Savior, Jesus.
