Messenger: Christ
says
"I am alive — I am alive
I am alive"
We are being tested —
God allowed His important figures
to be tested since the beginning.
John 17: 14 - 16
I passed your word on to them,
and the world hated them,
because they belong to the world
no more than I belong to the world.
I am not asking you
to remove them from the world,
but to protect them from the Evil One.
They do not belong to the world
any more than I belong to the world.

Messenger: God is so good to us.
God doesn't want us to be secular —
We are at war in the world.
We are in His army —
Our weapons are our hearts filled
with His love.
In the Blue Books — Jesus says — you are
at battle —
The more we go to the Eucharist — the
more we are filled with His life —
We can be small, but with His Might —
we are mighty.
God is all powerful.
To do His work — we must be more pure.
Going to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary can
help us to be more one IN HIM.
To be tested and survive, we must grow in
greater holiness — let go of
imperfections —
Want God more purely
Do all things for His honor and glory —
LOVE — love God deeply
LOVE — love ourselves as God desires
LOVE — love one another as God desires.
A person can be at war — they try to secure
all the loop holes — make themselves strong —
In the Church — to withstand this war —
we must be people of faith —
love God so deeply —
let go of imperfections that act like
open doors for satan to attack —
others to attack us —
So the Church is solid,
but the imperfections of some, some priests especially,
have been the doors in which we have suffered
attack.
Say a body (a person's body) has an infected toe —
It may be very little, but very hurtful when
they walk, but the infected toe if cared for —
flushed out - tended to - does not take
out the whole body.
Imperfections of the clergy act like open doors
in which satan can stage an attack.
A family may be very productive and loving
but one son or daughter very rebellious from
reasons outside the family. The whole family
hurts and may have to focus, tend to the problem,
but in the end, it can more deeply unite the
family -- teach them lessons of truth and
love -- they may have never learned had they not had
the terrible problem.
We must secure the walls of attack with greater
holiness — which is why the Newsletter and the prayers
in the prayer manual can help the Church — the
priests to grow in greater holiness— through this
nourishment — Good writings of the Good Shepherd — and
prayers for our priests, the Church and the world.
Why me — we may say — I want to live a life
of fun and enjoy myself — not having tension —
Secularism is around us.
We battle this battle —
A man was put on an island and there was a battle
going on — he wanted peace, but he had to live
with the people on the island who were at war.
He was surrounded by battle —
God put us here — this day — He created us in
His image and likeness to grow ever more likened
to Him. We, who have been baptized, are
chosen especially to do His work
To spread the Good News
To buildup the body
We are being tested in fire — like the song
says
"Glory and Praise to Our God"
We are creatures of the Creator with
a purpose — Our mission to build up the
body of Christ — to promote God's Kingdom—
to live a holy life and to go to
heaven some day —
Happiness — real happiness is only found
in God.
Happiness — real happiness is found — only
in doing God's holy will.
Happiness is found as it says in the song
Hosea —
— trees do bend through straight and tall —
not in bending the Word or the commandments —
the rules of the Church —
but in bending our will to be as God
wants us to be — in giving ourselves to
Him — to be molded more and more in His
image and likeness.
China, Indiana is like a little city — They
focus on the work of sending out the Newsletter
and praying before the Blessed Sacrament —
All kinds of correspondence from Bishops and
priests - go in and out of there — we pray
deeply for the priests, the Church and
the world.
China, Indiana is our center —
We have the Eucharist there.
We have prayed 24 hours a day for several
years —
We have prayed all day since the beginning
when we got the
church in the summer of 1997.
Fr. Carter got a message to look for our
second center and we left his Jesuit residence
in Cincinnati and drove straight to Indiana to see.
A person in the movement who just got land in
Canaan and we got lost — turned around in the
parking lot by the sacristy in St. Anthony Church
China and laughed to each other and said — we
got lost in China —
Little did we know we were found,
not lost!!!
Later — the couple we went to visit said - the
church was for sale—
When I first went in I had a vision of the
Eucharist exposed like this picture full of people

Messenger:
Jesus said He wanted the rug red for His
Sacred Heart —
the ceiling blue for Mary
and the walls including window wells white!!

Messenger: Our

Fr. Carter and I didn't know we were home!

Messenger: When
Father would say Mass I thought of
all the grace pouring out to the world.
On April 13 — one 13th we came out and it
usually never snows then —
after praying from 12:00 - 5:00
with a church full of people and
it was snowing like this —
snow flakes as big as silver dollars —
December 12, 2006 message continues
Messenger:
It snowed in Michigan after Father died —
it came down in sheets — pure and white
January 2, 1999
Mary speaks: I am Our Lady of Snows. I come to cover the earth with a soft white blanket of my love.
I come to bring peace to the earth. I tell you to let go of the anxiety in your heart and experience my peace and His love.
I am your heavenly Mother. I come to hold you and caress you and take you to my Immaculate Heart.
