Jesus speaks:    You are blind in your ways —
                           I come to you and give you Myself
                                in the Eucharist and you are blind.

                           I am the Divine God.

Jesus speaks:     The world is vast and
                                yet you can be united in prayer
                                when you are far away.
  

 Psalm 63: 2-6

Thus I have gazed on you in the sanctuary, 
seeing your power and your glory. 

Better your faithful love than life itself; 
my lips will praise you. 
Thus I will bless you all my life, 
in your name lift up my hands. 
All my longings fulfilled as with fat and rich foods, 
a song of joy on my lips and praise in my mouth. 

On my bed when I think of you, 
I muse on you in the watches of the night,

Messenger:        We pray to God
                                and ask Him to send down the Holy Spirit
                                to renew the face of the earth.

John 20: 19-31

In the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, ‘Peace be with you,’ and, after saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord, and he said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. 

    ‘As the Father sent me, 
    so am I sending you.’ 

After saying this he breathed on them and said: 

    Receive the Holy Spirit. 
    If you forgive anyone’s sins, 
    they are forgiven; 
    if you retain anyone’s sins, 
    they are retained. 

    Thomas, called the Twin, who was one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples said to him, ‘We have seen the Lord,’ but he answered, ‘Unless I can see the holes that the nails made in his hands and can put my finger into the holes they made, and unless I can put my hand into his side, I refuse to believe.’ Eight days later the disciples were in the house again and Thomas was with them. The doors were closed, but Jesus came in and stood among them. ‘Peace be with you,’ he said. Then he spoke to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; look, here are my hands. Give me your hand; put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving any more but believe.’ Thomas replied, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him: 

    You believe because you can see me. 
    Blessed are those who have not seen 
        and yet believe.

There were many other signs that Jesus worked in the sight of the disciples, but they are not recorded in this book. These are recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing this you may have life through his name.

Messenger:        The Mass is awesome —

Jesus speaks:    Go to Mass!

Messenger:        I want to gaze upon Your wonders
                                Oh Lord to
                                taste from the tree of life —
                                to taste Your precious gifts
                                of abundant love.

Jesus speaks:         A table is set for you and you
                           expected nothing and I spread My
                           richest treasures before you —

                            Sufferings are gifts from God.

                            Learning to love and be more perfected
                                is a gift —

Messenger:        Think of the gift of the Magi —
                                where once He walked —
                                He no longer walked
                                    He is with us in a
                                    special way — God is truly
                                    present in the Blessed Sacrament

Jesus speaks:     Fruit can be so juicy, wonderful
                                as only fruit can be
                            I give you fruit for your journey

Messenger:     My dear friends

    Today the Feast of St. Xavier,
First Friday, Jesus appeared to me
as the King on His Throne at the
Cathedral where He told me to go
to Church.  

    On December 5, 1996 - 
8 years ago Jesus appeared
to me at the point of death His
mouth moving, He was in excruciating
pain, I cried and could hardly stand
it.

From a previous daily message:

I saw Him at the point of death on the cross 
December 5, 1996, after Mary appeared 500 times.

He hung, all battered, greatly weakened. His mouth moved very clearly. It seems that a man in His condition could not move His mouth to that extent.

Later in the rosary that night, He gave messages and said: "No one was listening."

    Today the Feast of St. Xavier,
First Friday, Jesus appeared to me
as the King on His Throne at the
Cathedral where He told me to go
to Church. 

   He was smiling and His
mouth moved and moved and moved.
He looked happy and the vision was
all aglow. He gave me a message to sit
in the first pew and He appeared
and talked about 20 minutes, He
was smiling.

        May God bless you in this
most beautiful season. 

With lots of love and thanks,

                                Rita
