Philippians 2: 1-4 

So if in Christ there is anything that will move you, any incentive in love, any fellowship in the Spirit, any warmth or sympathy—I appeal to you, make my joy complete by being of a single mind, one in love, one in heart and one in mind. Nothing is to be done out of jealousy or vanity; instead, out of humility of mind everyone should give preference to others, everyone pursuing not selfish interests but those of others. 

   

Psalm 131: 1-3

Yahweh, my heart is not haughty, 
    I do not set my sights too high. 
I have taken no part in great affairs, 
    in wonders beyond my scope. 
No, I hold myself in quiet and silence, 
    like a little child in its mother’s arms, 
    like a little child, so I keep myself. 
Let Israel hope in Yahweh 
    henceforth and for ever. 

  

Luke 14: 12-14 

    Then he said to his host, 'When you give a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relations or rich neighbours, in case they invite you back and so repay you. No; when you have a party, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; then you will be blessed, for they have no means to repay you and so you will be repaid when the upright rise again.'

Messenger:         The Mass is such a gift. The Mass is 
                        celebrated all day and all over the world, 
                        but the connection is in our hearts. We as members 
                        of the body of Christ are united to the Mass being 
                        celebrated around the world. 

                            In baptism we receive a special sharing in His 
                        life. I am a descendant of Adam and Eve and in 
                        baptism I receive these tremendous gifts. My human 
                        nature is wounded. 

                            Mary is sinless, Jesus is God — in giving my heart to 
                        Jesus and Mary I can live more deeply my baptismal vow. 
                        My oneness as a member of the body of Christ with you 
                        must ever grow. As our communities — relationships 
                        are modeled after the most perfect community the 
                        Trinity - we can become greater powerhouses of 
                        prayer — praying united to the Holy Sacrifice of the 
                        Mass being celebrated around the world. 

                            The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally 
                        made present. 

                            Now let us ponder the oneness of the Trinity. I deeply 
                        know the Father — I am in love with Him, I see myself as 
                        His little child living to do His will — He is my Father, I am 
                        His little child. My life lived so my will is one with His will 
                        more and more — this is the desire of my heart. 

                            I so deeply love Jesus, my heart is so one with Him. I know 
                        Him always with me as the bridegroom of my soul. It is presence, 
                        it is my life lived in oneness with Jesus. He is alive in me — I live in 
                        Him. Spiritual oneness — so far beyond words of 
                        expression, yet so very real to me — REAL — HE IS IN 
                        ME — I KNOW HIM SO DEEPLY. 

                            But then it is the Holy Spirit I know in me. He dwells 
                        in me. He is real. I know the Person of the Holy Spirit — I 
                        feel fullness of the oneness of the Holy Trinity dwelling 
                        in me. My heart burns to express it — this reality, to me, 
                        is so very real, but inexpressible in words. 

                            I reach for words to express what is the fire of love 
                        in my soul — my summit — my reaching for greater insight
                        awareness. 

                        Song: Your Presence Pervades My Soul 

November 6, 2006 message continues

Messenger:         Now I love you — I love in all different ways — my love is 
                        a flowing over of what is in me. It is the Spirit alive in 
                        me with the fire of His love that deepens all words I 
                        scammer to use to express this. 

                            In me is a fullness always of greater love — ever 
                        growing and still having much to grow till I have this 
                        fullness of life in heaven. 

                            But the word is depth - depth - I know you more 
                        deeply — the love of God in you — I know the love of 
                        God who created you, I know, I know, I seek to know 
                        deeper, love for all these different people in my life.                         

                            Love in Him for why I give my life to writing the Blue 
                        Books — love for souls so deep as I more deeply identify 
                        with His souls He gave His life for —

                            Love is so very deep — so it is easy for me to realize 
                        how we can more deeply unite to each other in 
                        the Masses going on around the world — more deeply pray 
                        united for the souls — more deeply function in the 
                        Church as the body of Christ —

                            I scamper to express, what vision is so indeedly 
                        clear in my soul. The vision of the body of Christ 
                        being so in love with God and each other and 
                        in love with souls to function — to offer ones 
                        whole life as a sacrifice — united to the Holy 
                        Sacrifice of the Mass for souls to get to heaven. 

                            My heart cries that our children may not have 
                        priests even with the availability as we have them and 
                        then I want to cry out to make this reality known and 
                        yet if the blind man is blind he does not see - does he. 
                        But we can pray with hope and the deep realization of 
                        how powerful the Mass is, the grace can flow from 
                        our prayers, united to the Mass, to open the eyes of those 
                        who do not see to treasure this great reality that light 
                        can pour into a dark corner with God's might and our 
                        love and their heartfelt response. 

                            You say, Oh Rita, shut up sometimes, my heart 
                        bleeds as Christ's heart bled for the souls that would 
                        be lost (a dry martyrdom) — my love swells for the 
                        souls to go to heaven. My eyes see a lady appear 
                        crying of her little children going into hell 
                        "Listen to me", she said, over and over again. So 
                        beautiful she was — so adorned in light — I knew 
                        inwardly and outwardly, Mary, Mother of God, Mother 
                        of the Church, Mother of the precious children 
                        she appeared that they could wake up and go to 
                        heaven. 

                            The New Eve —
                            Mary, our Mother, full of grace —
                            pray to God for me that grace will be 
                            given to those who read to comprehend —
                            Depth —
                            Depth —

                            This of which I write is reality — what a gift. 
                            In the death there is the resurrection.
