                November 9, 2014

                Jesus: I operate in order. I have told
                you that I operate in structure.
                Power comes from the Father, through
                My pierced Heart, in the Holy Spirit,
                through the Immaculate Heart of Mary and I
                operate in order – under just
                authority in the Church.

                    I have given special graces
                through the powerful intercession
                of special saints in the Church
                because I want that love and
                recognition given to them –
                thus I may grant special favors
                for the eyes through prayers of intercession
                through St. Lucy, I may give special
                healing graces because one prays
                through the powerful intercession
                of healing for the eyes through
                St. Lucy. I give powerful graces
                to find objects when one prays
                through the powerful intercession
                of St. Anthony. I desire you
                intercede through these saints.
                I am God, I may answer this intercessory
                prayer because it is God's will that
                you love and show this recognition
                to a particular saint.

                    I show you the passion, I
                walked the passion, I carried the
                cross over rocks and My shoulders
                felt as if it would break through
                to the ground, I fell under the
                cross, I was forced to get up.
                suffered for your sins, your
                willfulness, your secrets
                to manipulate things against
                My Father's Plan.

                    Many today are aborting the
                babies in the wombs. Many
                who seek only what they want - even
                to the point of killing an innocent
                life. And yet men are so willful
                they continue in their ways and
                they bring down evil on the whole
                earth.

                    The Father has a Plan and the
                saints sought the Father's Plan.
                They wanted God's will – it is
                simple to align your will to
                God's will.

                    If God chooses a way to work,
                like through Abraham, through Moses,
                through Noah, to do the work, it is
                God's Plan for this.

                    I chose Fr. Carter and Rita
                to be the messengers of My
                Messages about My Sacred Heart, about
                intimacy with God to help bring
                this era of peace promised at Fatima.

                    It is a gift – from the beginning
                there have been those who
                opposed My Plan to do the work
                I wanted to accomplish here.

                    The person under that blocks
                or tries to block a gift I
                want to give, blocks also a
                great gift that is given to them.
                (i.e. The Father gave Mary's image in Florida.)

                    I will not change My Plan to
                let a person block Me.

                    Satan hates –
                    Satan is a liar –

                    Yesterday, I gave a message about
                absolute truth. To seek to know
                Me and to attain greater happiness
                is to seek the truth more and
                more. To see through the eyes of My Father.

                    Satan works to block My Plan
                in willfulness – one who prods
                and plans and because of
                pride - thinks they can be the
                leader when it is not the
                will of God, they try to usurp the
                power that is given by God, as He chooses –

                Secrets are used by satan – cover-ups
                    like Judas who used his darkness
                    behind My back –

                Satan works in secret –

                Satan likes to surprise the just
                    man, with a crime, with
                    confusion, with a trap –

                Woe to the man setting the beguiling
                    trap for the man I have chosen
                    to build My bridge –

                Satan presses on those full of pride
                    to put a wrench where
                    I have a plan to give great
                    gifts –

                So the person tries to stop the
                    apparitions, gifts, messages
                    because of pride and selfishness,
                    jealousy and anger.

                A person stopping gifts I want
                    to give - is stopping gifts
                    that are coming to them
                    likewise. What a fool –
                    to stop blessings and cater
                    to their jealous, envious
                    heart.

                Remember the vision of Mary
                    on the building –
                    who used the sling-shot?
                    Who worked against such
                        a gift given from
                        My Heavenly Father –

                Secrets – satan works in secrets –
                Once a person aborts a baby –
                    they live with it life long –

                Once you sin the blood remains –

                Remember Macbeth and how
                    Lady Macbeth could not wash the
                    blood off from her hands –
                    guilt like this remains
                        in the lies one tells
                        themselves.

                    The man who lives his life
                opposing the plan of God is like
                Adam and Eve in the Garden –
                They treat God as a rival and
                they may continue in their
                willful ways, but they are
                helping satan and laying out
                a red carpet for satan in
                their pride, manipulation and
                secrets. The sins of some men
                are sins that make the angels
                blush and their pride brings
                shame on their own souls.

                Nothing is hidden from God – I
                know the workings of men
                far more than they know themselves.
                Masks may be used on Halloween
                for fun, but a masked man
                when it comes to his life is
                a very sad affair – for your
                willfulness to mask the evil
                is never to hide it from God.

                    The Father has a Plan and
                He is giving you a free will to
                choose to align your will
                to God's will and seek the truth
                with all your heart and all your soul
                and all your being.

                    I walked the hill to Calvary with
                the cross laden with your sins
                of opposition to the Heavenly
                Father, I shed blood for your
                sins to oppose Me, to
                oppose My truth, to lie and
                to call yourself just. You
                hide nothing from God.

                    When a man walks more
                and more in the deadly sins
                he becomes more and more
                dead in his responses –

                A man is given a free will and
                right reasoning, when they
                give into the deadly sins –
                year after year after year –
                pride and seeking dominance
                for dominance sake is the
                goal of the tainted man.

                    He is busy planning his
                life to be in charge – not
                praying for faith to know the
                plan of the Father and see
                through God's eyes and live
                first to please God in all
                things and to love Him –
                to give God what is His due –
                A man can grow in faith, hope
                and love. If he is baptized
                and remains in the state of
                grace he can pray for this
                increase of faith, hope
                and love –
 

Romans 8:5-9

Those who are living by their natural inclinations have their minds on the things human nature desires; those who live in the Spirit have their minds on spiritual things. And human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to life and peace, because the outlook of disordered human nature is opposed to God, since it does not submit to God's Law, and indeed it cannot, and those who live by their natural inclinations can never be pleasing to God. You, however, live not by your natural inclinations, but by the Spirit, since the Spirit of God has made a home in you. Indeed, anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

 

                Jesus: When God is more and more abundantly
                in a soul – the soul is not
                trying to hide its actions –
                faith is action in the heart –
                faith gives to man that responsiveness
                to be a light before men –
                It is responsive and directed because
                it knows the flame of the fire
                of God's love with-in.
                The saints were humble –
                Living everything to give glory
                    to God.

                The selfish man – sees himself,
                    seeks himself, snuffs
                    out the light and
                    when he seeks himself –
                    he gets himself –

                The foolish man disobeys God's
                    will because he is caught
                    up in his own pleasurable
                    pursuits.

                He is undisciplined and is
                    given in responding and
                    living the bad habits of
                    the deadly sins.

                He is undisciplined and seeks
                    pleasures against God's will,
                    fooling himself how
                    serving satan is okay.

                Satan is darkness, he works
                    undercover in secrets,
                    he wants to tear apart
                    relationships of love,
                    in marriages – in
                    communities, in the Church,
                    in nations, in anything that
                    is to promote unity –

                    Satan works through those
                seeking selfish promotion for
                their own glory – they block
                God's plan to promote themselves –

                Mary: Do you remember Herod who
                wanted to kill all the babies
                so Jesus had to flee to Egypt?
                Do you remember the men who
                jailed the Fatima children
                so I could not appear on
                August 13, 1917 and I told the
                children the miracle of October 13, 1917
                would not be as great because
                of what they did in jailing
                the children.

                    The men following satan
                want to block the just for
                their self-promoting plan.

                    The just man seeks the
                Plan of God and does all he
                can to please God. He loves
                God first.

                    The selfish man doesn't
                know love in his heart –
                he puts himself first and wants
                his own vain glory –
                When he looks in the mirror
                he wears a mask to himself –
                fooling and priding himself
                on his work –
                his heart can be hard like
                a rock and his love is
                focused on himself – it
                is not real love –
                love for oneself is seeking God's
                will in all things –
                Joseph's (the prophet Joseph)
                brothers were selfish – they
                lived to block God's plan
                because of pride and selfishness,
                jealousy and envy –

                Do you see how they suffered
                in their own lives. They were
                not happy, they were liars.
                A man of justice seeks the
                truth –

                A man of wisdom seeks greater
                    faith – seeks the Plan of
                    the Father –

                A man of wisdom – lives
                    to love God first – to
                    do all he can to please God.

Philippians 4: 10-19

As for me, I am full of joy in the Lord, now that at last your consideration for me has blossomed again; though I recognise that you really did have consideration before, but had no opportunity to show it. I do not say this because I have lacked anything; I have learnt to manage with whatever I have. I know how to live modestly, and I know how to live luxuriously too: in every way now I have mastered the secret of all conditions: full stomach and empty stomach, plenty and poverty. There is nothing I cannot do in the One who strengthens me. All the same, it was good of you to share with me in my hardships. In the early days of the gospel, as you of Philippi well know, when I left Macedonia, no church other than yourselves made common account with me in the matter of expenditure and receipts. You were the only ones; and what is more, you have twice sent me what I needed in Thessalonica. It is not the gift that I value most; what I value is the interest that is mounting up in your account. I have all that I need and more: I am fully provided, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the offering that you sent, a pleasing smell, the sacrifice which is acceptable and pleasing to God. And my God will fulfil all your needs out of the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

 

Luke 16: 9-15

‘And so I tell you this: use money, tainted as it is, to win you friends, and thus make sure that when it fails you, they will welcome you into eternal dwellings. Anyone who is trustworthy in little things is trustworthy in great; anyone who is dishonest in little things is dishonest in great. If then you are not trustworthy with money, that tainted thing, who will trust you with genuine riches? And if you are not trustworthy with what is not yours, who will give you what is your very own? 

    ‘No servant can be the slave of two masters: he will either hate the first and love the second, or be attached to the first and despise the second. You cannot be the slave both of God and of money.’

The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and jeered at him. He said to them, ‘You are the very ones who pass yourselves off as upright in people’s sight, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed in human eyes is loathsome in the sight of God.

 

                R. Man can control his unruly passions
                    because he has a free will and
                    has reason.

                We need food to be healthy –

                Man is not to over-eat!

                Man needs food

                Man is to eat to have a healthy body –
                    It is God's will for him to eat
                    enough – not too much – and
                    to eat healthy –

                Man can have pleasure to eat,
                    but he can control his
                    eating because of right - reason –
                    not to eat too much or too little or
                    to starve himself.

                Passions must be under control –
                Man has a free will –
                Man has a intellect –

                Other men are scandalous before others
                    when they intentionally try to
                    provoke a leader to make them
                    angry and lose control –

                It is morally wrong to try to
                    provoke anyone for the sake of
                    'trying them' to lose control –

                Each and every person will be held accountable
                    for one's ways in which they treated
                    others –
                    God commands us to love our
                        neighbors as ourselves.

                    God puts men in authority
                        and those under are to obey
                        those in just authority over them –
                        not try to discredit those over them by
                        provoking them before others –

                Men acting under authority - just authority –
                    pleases God and He blesses those
                    under authority respecting that one
                    acting in just authority is
                    representing God and are to be obeyed –
                    willingly and with great respect
                    for the order God has imposed –

                People are given order in life –
                    Priests are to obey Bishops –
                    Bishops those over them –
                    The Pope is the Vicar of the Church.
                    Religious, in an order, are to obey
                        their superiors.
                    Children are to obey their parents
                        until a certain age – when
                        they leave home and become adults,
                            no longer dependent on
                            the parents.

                God has called us to love –

                God has called us to be obedient to those
                    over us in just authority.

                Jesus showed us how He obeyed His
                    Father to His death on the cross –

                God has called us to be servants –
                    even a teacher is a servant –
                    a teacher serves people by
                    telling them the truth –

                A man in a restaurant serving people
                    food is trusted to not serve
                    contaminated food –

                Likewise a man teaching others is
                    a servant, called by God to
                    serve the others food that is
                    truth – food for the heart and
                    the soul –
                    the intellect –

                A teacher therefore is acting in God's name
                    when he is honest and truthful in
                    serving food for the heart and the soul.

                The saints showed us especially, by their lives
                    about Christ. They, many saints, taught
                    us by giving their lives to build up
                    God's Kingdom - to build up the Church.

                God calls us to loving service.

                Just as one who serves man's needs in the
                    store, in the restaurant, we are
                    to serve men in love, whatever
                    we do. Tell the truth, don't short change
                    someone by being selfish and greedy,
                    angry and dishonest.

                Servants for God in all that we do –

                We are to witness to the truth – in serving
                    other men – in love – as God would
                    have us give of ourselves –

                We are on earth to serve God and men –
                We are on earth to ultimately build the
                    Kingdom God wants – all for the
                    honor and glory of God.

                Sing song: Service –

                Jesus: I call you to love –

                I call you to give yourself for the building
                    of My Kingdom.

                I am the way, the truth and the life.

                You are giving to others an example
                    of the God that lives in your soul.

                Give a good example – Don't call yourself
                    Christ-like or wear signs that you
                    are Christian and treat others
                    dishonorably, in hate and disrespect.

                Pray the Prayers I gave Fr. Carter
   


   

                Jesus: Live to grow more and more in My image and
                    likeness –

                Live to love and your Heavenly Father
                    will reward you in heaven for
                    your life lived in love.

                You are to be grateful for the lilies of the field,
                    the animals that are your pets, the
                    beautiful babies of the womb –

                Gratitude and focusing on a more and more
                    pure interior life –

                You come to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
                    and your interior disposition to offer
                    sacrifice, is to be pure – to be holy.

                A big noise came as all were worshipping
                    in Church – some were dragging thinking
                    of everything, but what was going on –
                    some were praying, but sort of disengaged –
                    some even slept –

                A noise came and shook the place and
                    there was no evidence 'why' or
                    'where' it came from –
                    It lasted and lasted so long many
                    went to their knees and began
                    to be much more fervent in prayer –

                Why wait until something has to shake your
                    roots –
                    go to your hearts NOW –
                    communicate your love to Me –

                Do you not even think of the greatest
                    commandment because you are
                    so blind or so willful or both –

                Living your whole life as you will is
                    not a good place –

                Remember the old song
                    "I did it my way"

                What will you say on the Day of Judgment
                    when I call you to report on
                    how you loved and served
                    God by doing God's will.

                You are to respect and love God's
                    creation. You are stewards
                    of the earth –

                It is foolish to live your whole life for
                    your own promotion and affection
                    and power –

                You were created to know, love and
                    serve God and you can never
                    really comprehend My infinite
                    love on earth –
                    You barely scratch the surface
                        of understanding My unfathomable
                        love.

                Don't waste your days on perishable
                    pursuits.

   

                January 27, 1992

                R. Got this saying from Jesus

                I CAN NEVER LIVE THE
                    MOMENTS OF THIS DAY
                    AGAIN

                WHEN I GO TO BED
                    TODAY IS GONE FOREVER

                I MUST CHOOSE TO TREASURE
                    EACH MOMENT BECAUSE
                    IT IS THE ONLY
                    MOMENT I HAVE AND
                    IT ONLY LASTS ONE MOMENT.

From a Lenten Homily, March 24, 2000

Live in the Moment

    Today’s Gospel in its story certainly points ahead to Jesus in His Passion and death. And as we read passages such as this during the Lenten season, we are reminded once again that the Church in her Liturgy of the Word gives us an opportunity to undergo a purification, an ever deepening cleansing of ourselves so that we may be a more fit instrument for receiving the great graces which are to be given to us at the time of the Resurrection memorial on Easter. And so all in all, Lent is a time of purification to prepare us for ever-greater gifts of the Lord. It’s a time of self-discipline, a time to renew our efforts to be self-disciplined in the service of the Lord. Self-discipline is an aspect of purification. And I suggest that one of the most difficult acts of self-discipline in the spiritual journey is to concentrate on the present moment. We have a very strong tendency to disregard the importance of the present moment by focusing in a wrong way on the past or in a wrong way on the future. There are proper occasions for thinking of the past and the future. For example, we have to learn from the past and we have to prepare for the future, but our great emphasis has to be upon the present. There is a Latin axiom which says, age quod agis, age quod agis, which means: do what you are doing, concentrate on the present. And of course we are familiar with that term in the history of spirituality: the sacrament of the present moment. And so the discipline of Lent certainly encourages us to include in a deeper self-discipline a greater determination to get as much as we can out of the present moment. People with a terminal illness have an opportunity as they prepare for death for increased prayer, contrition, love of God. However, some are taken very, very quickly. But for those who have the opportunity of knowing with some certainty the time of their death, I’m sure as they look back on their lives, they are saddened by the many times they did not use time and opportunities for the service of the Lord properly, and are overjoyed at those times in which they did use the present opportunity properly. A great means we have of living in the present properly is a greater focus upon our Lord. For if I have that awareness of the fact I am united with Jesus here and now, why should I be concerned so much about the future or the past? Yes, a great help in living in the present and deriving all the good we can from it for ourselves and others is an ever greater focus upon Jesus, because the more I focus upon Jesus and the more I live with Him in the present moment, the more I am satisfied with the present moment. And so let us in our Lenten activity resolve to grow in that self-discipline - which is very difficult at times - to really live in the presence with the fullness of our being as much as is possible, with the help of God’s grace. Now is the day of salvation. Now is the day of salvation.

end of Father Carter's homily

 

                Jesus: A man who is living to know and love God
                    wants his weaknesses to be revealed
                    so he can live a greater life of
                    perfection – more likened to God –

                Only a fool lies to himself about his
                    faults and tries to wear a mask
                    proving he is perfect –
                    What is he doing that for –
                    He is like a guy on Halloween –
                    He plans and plans his costume and
                        wears it through life trying
                        to be right and looking perfect –
                        when in fact that is
                        all he has learned – how to
                        wear his mask for not Halloween –
                        but for his life on earth –

                The body will decay and the love go on –
                    focus on your heart and soul and how
                    you are Building My Kingdom and
                    storing up for your treasure
                    in heaven –

1 Corinthians 2: 11

After all, is there anyone who knows the qualities of anyone except his own spirit, within him; and in the same way, nobody knows the qualities of God except the Spirit of God.

  

Romans 11: 33

How rich and deep are the wisdom and the knowledge of God! We cannot reach to the root of his decisions or his ways.

 

Hebrews 4: 12-13

The word of God is something alive and active: it cuts more incisively than any two–edged sword: it can seek out the place where soul is divided from spirit, or joints from marrow; it can pass judgement on secret emotions and thoughts. No created thing is hidden from him; everything is uncovered and stretched fully open to the eyes of the one to whom we must give account of ourselves.

 

Proverbs 16: 2

A person's own acts seem right to the doer, but Yahweh is the weigher of souls.

 

                Jesus: Take off your silly masks of
                    pride –
                    Nothing is hidden from My sight –
                    No one thing is hidden in the
                        coldest, iciest heart –

                Come to My altar to sacrifice and
                    to love with a pure
                    interior offering –

                I know the ways of your heart –

                I know you more than you know
                    yourself –

                A man who is holy seeks to
                    know his imperfections –
                    is accountable and responsible
                    for his actions –

                He sees all things before God –
                    who knows his ways far
                    more than he knows himself –

                Seek the Lord and
                    You will find your treasure
                        is the eternal treasure –
                        given to those who seek
                        the Lord, who seek perfection
                        and seek the Love of God –
                        serving God and man living
                        God's will, in love.                 


 

Given October 26, 2014 

Jesus: I gave to you the great gift of sharing love as the Heavenly Father, has commanded in today's readings. 

To love God with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being and love your neighbor as yourself. 

It is all relationship - to deny or to operate against authority which is under God is to operate in disorder. 


Romans 8:5-9

Those who are living by their natural inclinations have their minds on the things human nature desires; those who live in the Spirit have their minds on spiritual things. And human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to life and peace, because the outlook of disordered human nature is opposed to God, since it does not submit to God's Law, and indeed it cannot, and those who live by their natural inclinations can never be pleasing to God. You, however, live not by your natural inclinations, but by the Spirit, since the Spirit of God has made a home in you. Indeed, anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

   

Jesus: I have given the Holy Spirit Novena - to understand such prayers and gifts I have given, your heart cannot be closed or hard.

The deadly sins when lived in a tainted heart, lead the heart to grow harder and harder.

The deadly sins are: pride, greed, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth.

Relationship - there is obedience to God's will - commanding you to love. 

I am love -

 

l John 4:17-21

Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.

   

Jesus: In love there is no fear.

When your life is dominated by fear and anger, your heart is not open to go out in love. 

Love casts out fear, but loving is an act of the will. One wills to give themselves to God in loving surrender as Mary, Handmaid of the Lord.

Mary lived to please her Heavenly Father, Mary's Heart was pure, sinless - never full of any anger or guile, of remorse, of jealousy and envy, of addictions - including gluttony. 

These sins of pride and selfishness make ones heart dead in sin, dead in responsive love to others. 

Your life is for relationship.

Love - loves - it is in you because I am in you.
 

l John 4:12-16

No one has ever seen God, but as long as we love one another God remains in us and his love comes to its perfection in us. This is the proof that we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us a share in his Spirit. We ourselves have seen and testify that the Father sent his Son as Saviour of the world. Anyone who acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God. We have recognised for ourselves, and put our faith in, the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him.

  

Jesus: Have faith not in men or in yourself, have faith in God, faith, hope and love as your Heavenly Father wishes of you. 

The taintedness of the deadly sins closes down the heart as you become more and more selfish. 

Faith, Hope and Love are theological virtues and you must ask God to give you an increase of these virtues in your graced, baptized soul.

To walk before men and to wear a habit and to be seen with this habit, to call yourself a Religious, a handmaid of Jesus, is to be a light, always under obedience to those over you.

  

Luke 1: 46-55

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

  

Jesus: Read it and listen to it with a heart that is open to your vocation. 

This is a calling I give to spread the Consecration of My Heart and Mary's Heart to this world. 

When I am in you - then your heart is holy and loving - not rebellious to the will of God. 

John the Baptist prepared the way for My coming.

To Elizabeth who was thought barren - John the Baptist was conceived in her old age "for nothing is impossible with God" "nothing is impossible with God" 

A man who is loving learns the message that love is sacrifice.

A man who is loving knows the crucified Lord - you have studied how I did the will of My Father to My death on the cross. 

I gave My life for your sins of anger, disrespect to authority, hardness in your heart to love, hardness in your heart to have kind relationships with those I have called you to work with, to work out problems, to be obedient. 

Joseph showed his support for Mary and Jesus. 

How would it be if Joseph gave into selfishness and was closed in.
How would it be if Joseph did his own will when called to be the Foster Father of Jesus. 

Joseph was a man and He obeyed the will of the Heavenly Father and he served in purity. 

Mary was found with child and she had to do what God wanted.
She sacrificed the chiding she received because she was pregnant and she saw only the will of the Father. 

Mary sacrificed, Mary did not turn from her calling to carry Me within her womb - 
Mary was not afraid of her calling. 

Mary did the will of God. 

Joseph did as he was supposed to - even though Mary was found with child, who believed - they had to do the will of God. 

Being a Religious, a handmaid of the Lord means you do the will of God. 

I give you the Prayer for Union with Jesus.

 

Prayer for Union with Jesus

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

 

Jesus: This prayer is 20 years old.

What does it mean to you to say this prayer.

Fr. Carter carried this prayer in his pocket next to his heart. Fr. Carter prayed it all through the day. 

What does this Prayer mean to you? 

Do you spoon out all that is you and ask to be possessed by God?

Do you even understand that the message May 13, 1993 – 21 years ago means "I want to be one in you and you one in Me"?   May 13, 1993 click

Relationship, My child - relationship means - like Joseph did, you believe that you are to take your vocation seriously, so you give your will and your heart over to God - and in joy, go out in love, as your heart becomes more like Me. 

Surrender to My will - surrender to God as a Religious, a handmaid, a servant of the Lord. 

I see your fear - Joseph was afraid at first - the angel told Mary to not be afraid. 

I call you to let go of fear, so you can be filled with love. 

Not fear and jealousy and pride and envy, that deaden your heart and soul. 

You offend Me when such gifts as these, have not been given to the greatest saints. 

This Movement is to help bring about the Reign of My Sacred Heart. Instead of opposing Me and rebelling against these gifts, you would please Me and grow in love and joy as you have never known, if you try to learn what I am teaching to this world, through Fr. Carter and Rita and Fr. Joe, to help bring love in this world. 

Study and be wise.

Now I give you a parable. 

A man was given a message how the world was in grave danger and what he must do. 

Instead of delivering the message he was pressed on by the devil to bury the message and think of himself as being mistreated.

Soon the time came and the enemy came and tore apart the world and the message given was never delivered because of the person called who was so untrustworthy. 

If you live your life, not loving or not trusting anyone, because you want to control and live in anger, then you will not win. 

I am Jesus, I am your Savior, but you can tell yourself you need no one. 

Then you missed My message.

Love is about relationships.

From a man and a woman in love - I bring children into this world.

Every person comes through this act, created by God, to propagate this earth. 

I have given these children - fathers and mothers, who were intimate, to bring them into this world.
This is God's will so much, that marriage is a sacrament, given to give grace.

 


 
 

Jesus: To those who are called to the vocation of priest, sister and brother - they should know their marriage to Me in a special way. 
 

20 Years Ago 

A City on a Hill Shines to the World (excerpt)

February 23, 1994 5:30 a.m.

Jesus: I am the light of the world. A city on a hill will shine to the world. You at the Center will be this city when you are filled to the brim with the love of Jesus. What power, what might, to have each person a personal spouse of Jesus Christ! This is the light to the darkened world. The love of Jesus radiates from the very being of those who love Him. What light when all together are lifted by His love abounding deep within their breasts!

end of excerpt

   

Jesus: Do you even get it? 

Disciples are ones who are learning. 

Are you a disciple or do you pride yourself on doing everything by your own authority? 

With the spreading of these three books and the prayers in different languages I intend to reach the Church with My message of love. 

When I am in a soul, they live in love - they are open.

My message in Rita's messages are about the indwelling of God inside of you through the graced life.

Listen to Me and don't block My message.

I cry blood because you don't even quit your darkness and do what you were called to do. 

I am light and in Me there is no darkness. 

Let not your hearts be dead in sin through anger, and pride and jealousy - through envy and isolation - through the closing down of selfishness. 

What an honor you have been given.
Why do you rebel against Me? 

Love is relationship.

The world will be fed by the relationships of men dwelling in love in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. 

This is the mission of the Shepherds of Christ.
This is why you were called. 

Not for selfish self promotion. 

I am the source of Love. 

"Come to me Lord and Possess My soul"
