Messenger:
See Our Lady of Fatima appearing and
hear crying of children.
Mary wants the souls in heaven with
Jesus. God the Father sent Mary as a messenger
to tell us we can ignore God no longer — souls
are at stake.
As we spread the devotion to the Sacred Heart
and Immaculate Heart — souls will grow in
greater holiness.
Souls will become more loving — those giving
their hearts to Jesus and Mary.
See the gentle face of Mary, Our Lady of
Fatima — adorned in light — hear the crying
of souls — how can we take it so lightly that
souls are going to hell because of their
sinfulness —
No we must not take it so lightly.
We must pray as Jesus asked Fr. Carter
for the priests, the Church and the world.
Quit worrying what others are thinking
of us — if we are doing God's will — if
we are helping souls.
Think of a soul lost forever to the
fires of hell.
Jesus died on the cross for all His
precious souls.
Mary appeared as a messenger pleading
for her children to help her reach them
with the love of Their Two Hearts —
Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996
Mary speaks: I stood
beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw
Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My
Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my
Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give
in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little
children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into
the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and
I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones,
the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make
you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I
appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you
reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have
been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages
I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I
appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the
cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my
little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched
for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the
hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help
my children. You are my children of light.

Messenger:
Hear the cry of the souls going to hell —
so stubborn, but the things of this earth
against God's will can work to help blind people
and they give into these things because of pride,
lust, willfulness —
This is real —
This Christmas — think of how much Jesus
loved His precious souls to come as a
baby — to put on a human body — and
so many are so sinful despite all Jesus
did for us.
Sing Song: A Song from Jesus
See Mary — Our Lady of Fatima adorned
in light — crying out to reach her precious
children — "Please listen to me she says"
"Give your heart to Jesus' Sacred Heart and
to my Immaculate Heart."
There are so many blessings for having devotion
to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.

Messenger:
Oh Lady of Fatima help us to spread
this to the world.
Help people to consecrate their hearts and
their homes to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate
Heart.
See Mary's gentle pleading face — asking us
to help us reach her children.
Oh Immaculate Heart of Mary —
Mother so pure —
Intercede for us to God to help us spread
the devotion to the 2 Hearts to the
far ends of the earth.
Sing: A Song from Jesus
Messenger:
I saw Our Lady of Fatima appear and
I heard crying babies as she appeared.
I wonder if it was for the babies
being aborted.
Jesus was whipped at the pillar for the sins
of the flesh.
Beaten raw for His precious souls.
Jesus' unblemished back was beaten, with deep wounds
from these angry men.
Violent —
Killing a baby of the womb is an ultimate violence.
Hear Jesus make grunts as they beat Him for these
awful sins.
His greatest agony was to His Sacred Heart —
for those He loved and would still
be lost because they condemned
themselves with their awful
sins — after Jesus shed
His Blood for them.
How deeply Jesus loves His
precious souls — think of
how He suffered to His Sacred
Heart for the hardened hearts
of sinful men, the hot and cold
souls.
They pounded into Jesus' most Precious Head,
a crown of piercing thorns.
2. Think
of what it would be like to sit as Jesus did and be hit, to be
wounded, to be hollered at, and to have blood run down your face
from a crown of thorns, and He is truly God. From
Blue Book 6 January 10, 1995
At any minute He could have stopped all that
was being done to Him.
4. Think
of how it wounds our heart when people say harsh things to us. Think
of how Jesus' Heart was wounded by the violent tempers, by the
abuse, by the hatred that these men gave to Jesus; and He loved them
with a heart of purest love. From Blue Book 6
January 10, 1995
He shows us the way to love.

January 10, 1995
Mary stood under the cross and she saw Her Beloved Son hang
against the darkened sky. This is the child that she held in her
arms; the child that she watched at play; the child that she
fed; the child she cared for and now battered, bruised and
beaten, He hung against the darkest sky His body weakened. But
to His last, His thoughts were on us when He gave to us His Most
Beloved Mother as our Mother.
Excerpt from
December 7, 2006
From the cross —
Jesus heard me whisper
"I love you Jesus" YES - Yes
Jesus speaks:
As I hung on the cross, I heard
the whispering of your voice to Me
"I love you Jesus"
When others were cold - treating Me
without a personal love
relationship - I heard your
voice to Me.
You said
"I love you, Jesus"
"I love your souls, Jesus"
"I want to be with you in heaven
in deepest love, Jesus"
Others were so busy, not giving a
thought to Me and
You came before the Eucharist and
I knew how hard you were working
trying to love and be good and you looked
like crying sometimes and then you
looked at the exposed Eucharist and
said
"I love you, Jesus, help me, Jesus
I want Your help" and I saw
you - looking tired and feeling
so wounded sometimes because
you wanted the world to be good and
love Me and
then you would cry and say
"Oh Jesus can't You help us now -
I want the world to know You and love
You, but Jesus only You can do this" and
you would look at the Exposed host
and cry some more and say
"Oh Jesus I love you so much —
You are everything to me —
Jesus - help me do this —
please Jesus help me"
and then you would try to do things to
help spread My gospel and My love
and tell people about the Eucharist and
the consecration and people were
always in a hurry wanting to do
their "busy" things and — sometimes
things were hard to do and you tried and tried
and talked to me and
then I heard you say —
"But Jesus, I do it all for You Jesus,
I love You so much Jesus, help me
please"
And I hung on the cross and I saw
you there today struggling and sometimes
crying in desperation and I heard you
whisper "I love you Jesus" and
you were faithful to Me and I saw
it — I saw and loved your faithfulness
and it comforted Me when I was bleeding
and so wounded on the cross.
I heard you say and never afraid to
say it "I love you Jesus, I want
to be in heaven with you someday
in the deepest love —
Help me Jesus I want to do this
work for You and I want souls to be
good like the Father wants and get to
heaven" and I heard you say as I
hung on the cross — knowing many
would listen
"I love You Jesus"
And you never stopped trying
with enthusiasm you did it —
with energy and love — not worrying
who rejected you and
then some came and argued with you —
tried you over and over again and
you kept doing it anyway saying
"I love you, Jesus"
Then you kissed My pierced feet
on the crucifix and gazed
at My wounded side and
No matter what happened — you
never quit for the sake of My precious
souls —
I knew you would do this today
in all the sin and rejection and
arguments —
You would keep on — keeping on,
sometimes crying, but saying
"I love You Jesus"
And to others, many - you were never good
enough - you were judged and persecuted
but you kept on saying
"I love You Jesus, strengthen me, help me
give me grace - Jesus I need you"
"Not by my might God
only You can do this"
And I hung to My death seeing
My precious souls — knowing
you loved them so much too and
you would beg Me to help you do
what the Father wanted of the
human race for the sake of souls -
then you cried
"I love You Jesus —
please help me
strength me
I love You so much"
When you thought you were doing
something wrong — you wanted to
change it to do the right thing —
you prayed for this and
I heard you talk. You said to God the Father and
to Me and to the Holy Spirit — "I
love you so much!!"

my children. You are my children of light.

6:15 p.m. Rosary
before Shepherds of Christ meeting
Jesus Died on the Cross
2. R. How deep are the wounds in His
hands and His feet. How deep — that the nails penetrated and
went through to the other side. Is there depth to a wound that
totally pierces the hand?
3. R. This is the magnitude of the
love that He has for us: that He gave His hands to be pierced
with nails, His feet to be pierced. They crowned Him with a
crown of thorns and the blood rolled from His whole body. And He
says to you this day: I give you My flesh, I give you My blood
and I remain with you to this day in the Eucharist. I am no less
present when you receive Me in the Eucharist than the day that I
hung against this darkened sky. I am Jesus, Your Beloved Savior.
With greatest love I come to you and I call out to you to listen
to My plea. I am in your midst this day. I call out to you to
come and to know My Love.
4. Song: A Song from
Jesus
After being locked in the tomb for three
days, Jesus rose from the dead.
What flowed
forth from His Pierced Heart was blood and water; Blood for the Eucharist, water
for baptism.
The Christian is initiated into the
mystery of Christ, into his or her role in prolonging the Incarnation, through
Baptism.
Romans 6: 3-4
You cannot have forgotten that all of us, when we
were baptised into Christ Jesus, were baptised into his death.
So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so
that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious
power, we too should begin living a new life.
Romans 8: 14-17
All who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of
God; for what you received was not the spirit of slavery to
bring you back into fear; you received the Spirit of adoption,
enabling us to cry out, 'Abba, Father!' The Spirit
himself joins with our spirit to bear witness that we are
children of God. And if we are children, then we are heirs,
heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, provided that we share
his suffering, so as to share his glory.
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.
Do we see with this limited vision? Only see the here and now?
Philippians 3:20-21
"But our homeland is in heaven
and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord
Jesus Christ, who will transfigure the wretched body of ours
into the mould of his glorious body, through the working of the
power which he has, even to bring all things under his mastery."
What joy to have the beatific vision, for
those who go to heaven, to experience the fullness of life — to
be united to the Trinity — to know Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth
3. R. Spirit of God, fill our hearts with the fire
of Your love so that we may be transformed from fear to
fearlessness to go out and preach the Gospel, to do the plan
that the Father intended for us. Mary lead us ever closer to the
Most Sacred Heart of your Son. Help us to realize the reality of
this world: that this world is run by God; that He has the Power
and the Might to help us to become selfless and unattached, to
allow Him to permeate our beings so that we may be one in Him
and operate as He operates through us to spread this immense
love of the Most Sacred Heart to this world; to light up this
world with the fire of His Love. Through your Immaculate Heart,
lead us ever closer and closer to this Heart that is burning and
on fire and open to love of us this day.
6. R. How abundantly
blessed are we that we can share in His Life. God outpours His
grace in such abundance when we go to the Eucharist worthily.
How abundantly blessed are we that we know the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit dwell in us if we are baptized and in the state of
grace. And the Holy Spirit pours out to us such grace to fill
us, to lead us. The Holy Spirit operates in us. He is alive in
us.
Sing: How Great Thou
Art
Excerpt from Response to
God's Love, Chapter 1, by Father Edward Carter, S.J.
...God himself is the ultimate
mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent,
hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal
himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.
The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a
perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word,
is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the
reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the
Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act
of loving.
At the destined moment in human history, God's
self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world.
God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer
self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the
mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about
his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He
tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within
us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us
their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and
does accomplish through Christ.
Colossians 1: 24-28
It makes me happy to be suffering for you now, and in my
own body to make up all the hardships that still have to be
undergone by Christ for the sake of his body, the Church, of
which I was made a servant with the responsibility towards
you that God gave to me, that of completing God’s message,
the message which was a mystery hidden for generations and
centuries and has now been revealed to his holy people. It
was God’s purpose to reveal to them how rich is the glory of
this mystery among the gentiles; it is Christ among you,
your hope of glory: this is the Christ we are proclaiming,
admonishing and instructing everyone in all wisdom, to make
everyone perfect in Christ.
In Christ, God tells us about Himself, about His inner life,
about His plan of creation and redemption.
Excerpt from Response to God's
Love, by Father Edward Carter, S.J.
The authentic hopes and dreams of the human family, now so
deeply overshadowed by the ugliness of sin, came converging upon
this Christ. He would gather them up in himself, give them a new
luster and brilliance and dynamism, and would lead the human
race back to the Father in the Spirit.
Song: O Holy Mary
Excerpt from Response to God's
Love, by Father Edward Carter, S.J.
Christ came, then, for a double purpose, or rather for a
single purpose that has two facets. He was radically to release
us from the dominion of sin and elevate us to a new level of
existence.
