                R. Why do I do what I do? Relationships
                demand give and take, communication.
                Obedience to those over us demand
                recognition of the authority. If a
                person will not recognize authority,
                be it God over all of us, or just
                authority in any form of living
                that has authority over us, the person
                under authority will seek dominance
                for dominance sake and disregard
                their statutes as under the authority
                and rebel against it.

                    God works in order, priests must
                recognize the authority of the bishop
                and those over them. It is an act of
                the will to respect authority.

                    When every person in an operation
                demands that they can do as they
                please there is utter pandemonium
                and as far as building up the
                institution or group – no one would
                commit themselves to be subject
                to such disorder, unpredictability,
                disrespect, lack of unity, chaos
                and constant fighting of individuals
                to have their way – so they deny all
                rules, all authority and all
                correction, responsibilities and
                accountabilities.

                    There must be structure,
                obedience, love and unity for
                any institution to grow and build up
                on the principles it stands for.

                    God is over us and has given us
                the commandments to live by. Jesus
                came and taught us His way – He
                taught us about the tenderness and
                love of God, He taught us about
                the love of His family, He taught
                us about reconciliation for sins
                against God, offenses and that
                He paid for our sins by His Passion
                and death because reconciliation
                for offenses against God - must be
                made.

                I would like to put in a very important
                writing of Fr. Carter's about the Members of
                the Church from Response in Christ.

Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward J. Carter - Chapter 3

Mary's spiritual motherhood toward us had its beginnings at the time of the Incarnation. As Mary conceived Christ in a physical manner, she at the same time conceived us in a spiritual manner. In her holy womb she bore both Christ, the Head, and us, His members.

   The second great stage in Mary's maternal relationship toward us was accomplished upon Calvary. There, in extreme spiritual suffering, she offered Christ to the Father. From the pierced side of Christ the Church was born. Mary, in the extreme anguish of spiritual childbirth, brought us forth to supernatural life. "Seeing his mother and the disciple he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, 'Woman, this is your son'. Then to the disciple he said, 'This is your mother.' " (Jn 19:26).

   The third and final phase of Mary's spiritual motherhood is a continuing process. Under God, she gives us our life of grace. In her maternal love she protects and nourishes this life. She intercedes for all the graces necessary for its proper growth. As Mary cooperated with the Holy Spirit in first giving Christ to men, so she continues the same cooperation in regard to each Christian. Through the life of grace Christ is meant to take deeper and deeper possession of each one of us. Mary and the Holy Spirit continually labor to achieve this. Mary's only desire for us is that we grow more and more into the full stature of Christ. Her overwhelming love for us is evident. We manifest our love for her by committing ourselves to her maternal love and care so that she can achieve her desired purpose. That purpose, again, is to form Christ in us.

       e) Relationship with Members of the Church

There is but one true Church of Christ. Yet this one Church has three different states of existence. There is the pilgrim Church, the Church of this world, composed of members who have received the grace of Christ and strive for its development. They have not yet obtained the goal of their efforts, as have the members of the heavenly Church, who enjoy God in eternal happiness. The Church suffering is an intermediate state of existence necessary for those who had not achieved the required purification as members of the pilgrim Church. Although there are these three phases of the Church's existence, there is a profound union existing between all the members. All these members possess the same basic life of grace in Christ, and this common life establishes the most intimate bonds of love. In our preceding chapter, we discussed the pilgrim Church. Let us now consider the Church suffering and the heavenly Church.

   The members of the Church suffering are those who have departed from this life in an incomplete state of Christian development. Their development is incomplete in the sense that grace has not fully taken possession of them, and, as a result, they are yet closed in upon themselves to a greater or lesser degree. They as yet cannot open themselves out in complete love to the Triune God in the beatific vision. They must undergo a further purification, a purification which could have been achieved upon earth with merit. Now the purification must be achieved with no merit attached. The pain of this purification is mixed with the certain expectation of achieving the vision of God. We can hasten the advent of this vision for this people by the offering of prayers and other good works. Scripture itself refers to our action on behalf of those in purgatory in Chapter 12 of the Second Book of Maccabees beginning with verse 38.

   The members of the heavenly Church are those in whom the life of grace has taken full possession and has reached its completion in the life of glory. Faith now is unnecessary, as the light of glory gives the human intellect a new strength and capacity for seeing God face-to-face. While the Christian was a wayfarer, he received the imprint of the indwelling Trinity as he shared in God's own life. Now in heaven that grace-life and possession of God reaches its completion—the absolute completion is not achieved, however, until the resurrection of the body. The divine persons give Themselves to the beatified in a profound union far surpassing that of the indwelling of the Trinity experienced here below.

   This life of heaven is still the Christ-life, for just as we possess a share in Trinitarian life here below as mediated by Christ, and exercise this grace-life as structured by Him, so also in heaven is the mediation of Christ present. In the words of Rahner, "One always sees the Father through Jesus. Just as immediately as this, for the directness of the vision of God is not a denial of the mediatorship of Christ as man."¹³ And not only does the humanity of Christ unite the blessed to God, but also, in some way, to the whole of creation. This is merely a completion of what is begun here below, namely, the union with Christ in His humanity establishing the Christian in a special relationship with God, with other men, and with the whole of creation. We have a glimpse, therefore, of the fullness of life which members of the heavenly Church possess.

   The heavenly Church, as St. Thomas says, is the true Church.¹⁴ The Church of this earth and the Church of purgatory are, each in its own way, reaching out in loving hope for the heavenly Jerusalem. Vatican II puts it very simply: "The Church, to which we are called in Christ Jesus, and in which we acquire sanctity through the grace of God, will attain her full perfection only in the glory of heaven."¹⁵

   The members of the heavenly Church can help us in living our life of grace until we too share its fullness with them. Their power of intercession on our behalf is but another ramification of the communal aspect of Christianity. We are meant to help others grow in Christ. We, in turn, are intended by God to receive aid from others—yes, from members of the heavenly Church, as well as from those with whom we dwell here below.

   Not only can we be aided by the saints' intercession, but the example of the canonized saints can also be of great value to us. They have concretely proved that full holiness is possible. Such an inspiration is of real worth when we are tempted to think that Christian sanctity in its higher degrees is impossible of attainment. Moreover, the canonized saints, in their diversity, teach us that there are many authentic versions of Christian holiness. They can be innovators in showing us that there are numerous possibilities in assimilating the mystery of Christ, although the basic assimilation remains the same for all Christians of all times. In the opinion of Rahner this is one of the chief roles the canonized saints exert in the life of the Church.¹⁶

                R. We see what Fr. Carter says about the tremendous
                gift God gives to the man who loves
                and serves the Lord – the Church
                triumphant – the life of grace takes
                full possession and they have the
                fullness of life. God possesses the
                soul.

                    Our life is given to us and in
                baptism we receive a sharing in
                Divine life. This life of grace is
                to grow more and more abundantly
                until we die and hopefully because
                we have grown in the image and likeness
                of God more and more we will be
                taken to our final home in heaven –
                have the beatific vision and
                be embraced, possessed by God
                for all eternity. Our life on earth
                is to be lived – seeking the will of
                God, desiring not to offend God
                by the slightest sin – working with
                others, under God, in relationships
                to help build the Kingdom of God –

                    God called Mary – the perfect
                disciple of the Lord, Mary said
                I am the handmaid of the Lord.
                Fr. Carter said that Jesus called
                Servants and Handmaids of the Good Shepherd.
                He, in giving the Servants and Handmaids
                such a title, gives such dignity to the
                life they live in growing more and
                more in the image and likeness
                of Christ, of living a life of love
                and relationships like Mary and
                Jesus – in giving of themselves
                in love, according to the Father's
                will – in relationships for the
                building of the Kingdom.

                    To grow in holiness there
                must be an ever greater union
                with God and a selfless, surrender
                to do God's will and to live in absolute
                truth - under God.

                Jesus gave us this prayer – 21 years ago
                    to say through the day –
                    Fr. Carter kept this prayer by his heart
                    and prayed it all day –

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.

R. Fr. Carter says

Excerpt from Response in Christ

       f) Relationship with Man and His World

The Christian's Christ-life also establishes a special relationship between himself and all other men and the world in which both are situated. This is so because of the basic nature of grace—the fact that it is a share in God's life. The object of life in God is not only Himself, but also His creation. The Christian, through his life of grace, shares in this double dimension of God's life. Just as God not only loves Himself, but also His creation, so also must the Christian love both God and His creation. The Christian is called in a special way to further the creative and redemptive work of God.

   This aspect of the Christian's grace-life is also mediated by Christ. Christ, through His human enfleshment, has immersed Himself into man's world. Through His humanity he unites all men and all authentic human and temporal values to Himself. Through His redemptive love Christ has elevated the Father's creation to a new level of existence. Christ has initiated a process of gathering up all of creation for the glory of His Father. This process will reach its completion at the parousia. Meanwhile the Christian labors with Christ to further this evolutionary process of creation and redemption. Consequently, in faith, hope and love, the Christian assumes a new responsibility and privilege toward man and his world.

   He must take this privilege and responsibility seriously. Men of our era such as Bonhoeffer and Teilhard de Chardin have strikingly placed this responsibility before Christianity. Christianity has to show the contemporary world that it is profoundly interested in all its authentic values and aspirations. Christianity must further demonstrate that the principles of Christ are the only ones which can guarantee the true progress of man's world. The world belongs to Christ and it is impossible for it to develop authentically outside of Christ.

   We have traversed a rather wide area in this chapter dealing with the life of Christian grace. Grace, in its inner reality, and in its various relationships and ramifications, is complex to a certain extent. But ultimately it has a profound simplicity and unity. Christ is the one who gathers up and unifies. He is the one who makes grace tangible, concrete and personal to the Christian. Radically, the life of grace is life in God as mediated by Christ. "We can be sure that we are in God only when the one who claims to be living in him is living the same kind of life as Christ lived." (1 Jn 2:5-6).

end of excerpt

                R. We are here to grow in relationship with
                God and others. Man is to make his
                way in life living by the Laws of God
                and treating God and his brothers
                as God intends. We are to become
                more and more likened to Christ
                as sons of God. W are to live
                the Christ-life.

Romans 8: 14-15

^{^{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.}}

R. Fr. Carter says in Response in Christ

Consequently, as Christ's life of grace was filial, salvific, social, communal and ecclesial, so must be ours. As Christ's grace-life was sacramental (tending toward manifestation) and transfigurative, so likewise must be ours. Finally, let us remember that the Christian expresses these various dimensions of grace as he relives the mysteries of Christ, especially those of death-resurrection.

We have briefly considered the relationship between the graced-Christian and Christ. As this relationship grows in mutual love, the Christian understands with maturing penetration what it means to be incorporated into Christ Jesus. He becomes more aware of the full implications of St. Paul's words: "I have been crucified with Christ, and I live now not with my own life but with the life of Christ who lives in me." (Ga 2:19). end of excerpt

                R. Knowing the Presence of God in us is
                    this ever growing mission of the
                    Shepherds of Christ.

                Presence means that we have
                abundantly grown in our life
                in God.

                    We are in touch with our hearts. Our
                hearts are growing in the virtues
                and a greater life in the Holy Spirit –
                He floods our soul with His gifts
                and we are filled more and more
                abundantly with the Father, Son and
                Holy Spirit dwelling IN US.

                    In baptism we receive a sharing
                in His life and the Father, Son and
                Holy Spirit dwell in our graced, baptized
                soul.

Roman 8: 28-29

We are well aware that God works with those who love him, those who have been called in accordance with his purpose, and turns everything to their good. He decided beforehand who were the ones destined to be moulded to the pattern of his Son, so that he should be the eldest of many brothers;

Philippians 1: 21-24

Life to me, of course, is Christ, but then death would be a positive gain. On the other hand again, if to be alive in the body gives me an opportunity for fruitful work, I do not know which I should choose. I am caught in this dilemma: I want to be gone and to be with Christ, and this is by far the stronger desire—and yet for your sake to stay alive in this body is a more urgent need.

                R. Christ shows us His love for
                the Heavenly Father – perfect love –
                His Father's will was all in all in Him.
                It was the guiding principle of all
                He did, everything He thought,
                of everything He spoke –
                zeal for His Father's glory
                consumed Him. He would not
                rest until the work of the
                Father which he had been sent
                to accomplish was fulfilled
                in every detail. To love the
                Father's will was Christ's attitude
                towards life. He would cling to this
                principle even at the expense
                of a death of excruciating agony
                of body and soul.

Matthew 26: 42

Again, a second time, he went away and prayed: 'My Father,' he said, 'if this cup cannot pass by, but I must drink it, your will be done!'

                R. With false gods comes no protection
                really. A person can hold onto relationships
                that are inordinate attachments to
                God's will, they will not – in the
                end protect them from anything
                when the end is near.

                    Also the false gods are seeking
                dominance for dominance sake –
                for power, for control, for
                affections for oneself among
                men –

                    A false god can be where this
                person justifies their wrong
                behavior by trying to prove
                what they did is right because
                they never want to be wrong.

                    The false god is themselves and their
                pride. Walking among men and living
                to prove they are perfect and smart
                and above all, all knowing is
                a waste of energy because it is
                worshipping themselves as a god
                and the justification of never being
                wrong or without fault leads
                to lying because as St. John says

1 John 1: 8-10

If we say, ‘We have no sin,’
we are deceiving ourselves,
and truth has no place in us;
if we acknowledge our sins,
he is trustworthy and upright,
so that he will forgive our sins
and will cleanse us from all evil.
If we say, ‘We have never sinned,’
we make him a liar,
and his word has no place in us.

                R. This is pride like Eve in the
                Garden, she wanted to be equal
                to God. She didn't know her
                place. God is over – we are
                under.

                    The enemy, satan, tempts a man
                to try to prove he is supreme –
                first satan – puffs him up - and
                then it can become a habit for
                the man – he automatically seeks
                his glory – even above what
                is right and wrong – to prove
                his superiority over all.

                    God created the man to know,
                love and serve Him and the man
                listens to satan, like Eve in the
                Garden and the evil he indulges
                in – in such pride – is to make
                himself a false god above men
                and God.

                    Knowing what dignity God gives to
                us in baptism – to dwell in our
                graced, baptized soul – is the
                power and might in a man. It is
                God dwelling and operating in Him.
                He knows presence in his
                heart. God has made a home in
                his heart of love – more and
                more likened to Christ – who showed
                us how He loved the Father's
                will – He loved the Father –
                Jesus showed us service –
                Jesus showed us perfect love –
                Jesus showed us how to live
                    to be more and more
                    a son of the Heavenly Father –

Our whole life is focused on this
being under God –

Knowing our place –
Eve did not know her place –

                A man can be so full of masks
                    and lies from seeking
                    dominance for dominance
                    sake – he drives himself
                    further and further from
                    God –

                Fr. Joe said yesterday we see
                    Mary's humility in visiting
                    her cousin Elizabeth –

She didn't say –

I am high and mighty to be carrying
the long awaited Savior –

She was humble and said

                "My Soul magnifies the Lord
                    and my spirit rejoices
                    in God my Savior"

Mary knew her place

Mary loved the will of God –

                Mary, the perfect handmaid
                    of the Lord, the highest
                    of women –

Mary shows us humility

Mary is our Spiritual Mother –

Mary is Mother at our side –

                Mary is Mother of all men,
                    but in a special way
                    Christian men.

Fr. Carter says

Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J., p. 58

Mary's spiritual motherhood toward us had its beginnings at the time of the Incarnation. As Mary conceived Christ in a physical manner, she at the same time conceived us in a spiritual manner. In her holy womb she bore both Christ, the Head, and us, His members.

The second great stage in Mary's maternal relationship toward us was accomplished upon Calvary. There, in extreme spiritual suffering, she offered Christ to the Father. From the pierced side of Christ the Church was born. Mary, in the extreme anguish of spiritual childbirth, brought us forth to supernatural life. "Seeing his mother and the disciple he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, 'Woman, this is your son'. Then to the disciple he said, 'This is your mother.' " (Jn 19:26).

The third and final phase of Mary's spiritual motherhood is a continuing process. Under God, she gives us our life of grace. In her maternal love she protects and nourishes this life. She intercedes for all the graces necessary for its proper growth. As Mary cooperated with the Holy Spirit in first giving Christ to men, so she continues the same cooperation in regard to each Christian. Through the life of grace Christ is meant to take deeper and deeper possession of each one of us. Mary and the Holy Spirit continually labor to achieve this. Mary's only desire for us is that we grow more and more into the full stature of Christ. Her overwhelming love for us is evident. We manifest our love for her by committing ourselves to her maternal love and care so that she can achieve her desired purpose. That purpose, again, is to form Christ in us.

R. The Explanation of the Parable of the Weeds

Matthew 13: 36-43

Then, leaving the crowds, he went to the house; and his disciples came to him and said, ‘Explain to us the parable about the darnel in the field.’ He said in reply, ‘The sower of the good seed is the Son of man. The field is the world; the good seed is the subjects of the kingdom; the darnel, the subjects of the Evil One; the enemy who sowed it, the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; the reapers are the angels. Well then, just as the darnel is gathered up and burnt in the fire, so it will be at the end of time. The Son of man will send his angels and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of falling and all who do evil, and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth. Then the upright will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Anyone who has ears should listen!

                R. A disciple Father Joe said is
                    one who listens –
                    A disciple is listening and
                        learning.

                    A disciple is not a prideful
                        person who is arguing
                        about themselves as
                        supreme.

                    A disciple is one who is
                        knowing his place
                        under God and responding
                        with a big "yes" to
                        Christ.

Mary was the perfect disciple of God –

                    In the parable of the weeds we
                see the end for those who are
                evil and the outcome of the
                righteous.

God has authority over the
whole world.

1 Corinthians 15: 20-28

In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

Romans 3: 19-26

Now we are well aware that whatever the Law says is said for those who are subject to the Law, so that every mouth may be silenced, and the whole world brought under the judgement of God. So then, no human being can be found upright at the tribunal of God by keeping the Law; all that the Law does is to tell us what is sinful. God's saving justice was witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, but now it has been revealed altogether apart from law: God's saving justice given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. No distinction is made: all have sinned and lack God's glory, and all are justified by the free gift of his grace through being set free in Christ Jesus. God appointed him as a sacrifice for reconciliation, through faith, by the shedding of his blood, and so showed his justness; first for the past, when sins went unpunished because he held his hand; and now again for the present age, to show how he is just and justifies everyone who has faith in Jesus.

Dysfunction

                R. Jesus came the Savior to pay for
                our sins. We need to be reconciled
                by the Blood of the Lamb.

                    In some relationships a person
                can hurt others by offenses over
                and over again and never validate
                what they have done.

                    Children especially suffer and need
                healing from hurts done to them and
                a parent validating what was done
                can help very often for the healing
                process.

                    But if a person offends others
                in a marriage and offends them
                and does it over and over again without
                validating the offense it can build
                and build a big hard wall that can
                be so hurtful if a person is still
                being subjected to more and more
                abuse brought upon them.

                    In an abusive relationship a
                person who shakes their fist or threatens
                to punch an innocent weaker other,
                needs only stand in position later
                on and it can be the same punishment
                as the first time for the victim for fear
                of a person who is bigger subjecting
                their strength on a weaker person.

                    Abuse is accumulative, especially
                when a person fails to recognize they
                have not even done anything wrong
                and subjects offenses against
                another over years with NO VALIDATION.

                    The message Jesus, our Savior, gives
                is that we are to be reconciled in
                relationships – to ask for forgiveness,
                to make reparation for sins.

                    Not validating what has happened
                in offending another is really
                living a lie and offending them
                more and more, building a big
                wall when they continue to live
                that lie and not seek bringing the
                truth to the scene.

                    Jesus shows us that He came
                to pay the price for our sins.
                God gives us confession to tell
                God we are sorry. Every Mass
                begins with our telling God we
                are sorry.

                    Validating what truthfully
                happened is like building a
                bridge and asking to be forgiven
                for the offense.

                    The person who never
                admits the truth and brings down
                abuse on others builds a bigger
                and bigger wall and become
                blind and frozen themselves to
                the truth because of their
                constant familiar lies to themselves
                about what they are doing.

God calls us to love –

The definition of love used by Father Carter is as follows.

Love is the gift of self to promote the true good of those loved. He states the reception of love is the receiving of the gift of the other, so my good will be promoted.

R. Love is giving to the other –

                    An abuser, that does not admit
                it to themselves is like a fish out
                of water. Life comes in honesty,
                in truth, in working in truth,
                trusting and giving to others,
                receiving, communicating in
                problems and hardships –
                building a bridge together –
                being reconciled when we have
                offended God and others –
                forming relationships of trust,
                of accountability, responsibility,
                commitment, predictability – not
                unpredictable erratic behavior –

                    God commands us to love
                Him first and love our neighbor
                as ourselves.

Mary appeared to me, over and over
again – the Queen of Peace –

                    The Movement is to bring
                the Era of Peace through the
                Hearts of Jesus and Mary – the
                Hearts of Pure and Perfect
                Love.

                    We are vulnerable, we have
                bodies and we can lose our
                memories, our mobility with
                Parkinson's disease or similar,
                we can have tragic health
                problems – a person can try
                to test God and soon they may
                find they are not invincible –

God is just –
God is good –

                    Actions are to always be
                performed with our eternal
                life in mind. Actions are to be
                performed according to the
                will of God in right reasoning.

                    God will judge us on
                how we loved. Being unloving,
                holding out what God is asking
                us to do is acting against God's will.

God gives us the Mass.

We are reconciled by the Blood of
the Lamb –

                    Why would someone think
                they can live and offend others
                and not have to admit anything
                they did and make amends?

Song: Why Do We Hurt he Ones We Love

19 Years Ago

5 days after Mary appeared on the Building in Clearwater

December 22, 1996

Jesus: Brace yourselves in the Shepherds of Christ. You want to be Christ-like. Is this the true desire in your heart or is it just words like the other words you give to Me?

Brace yourselves. I will lead the way with My rod and My staff, but you must be strong to follow for the way is rocky and the rocks are sharp. They cut through to the soul. They cut through to your heart.

You will be brought to your knees, you will beg for Me, you will be molded and helped with in the abundant grace flowing from My Heart. My little shepherd, so willful and so stupid in your ways, but I love you just the same to My death, child. I love you and you do not see that all I give to you is for your good.

I am not angry with you, My messenger. You must suffer now to write My messages for the world. How could you write had you not experienced My pain in your soul? You are My hand, that I am using to write the messages of My Heart for the world. My Heart was crowned with thorns. So, too, will your heart be pierced and wanting to bleed. Bleed, little heart, My Heart bled for you.

And the moon will be covered with blood. It was the blood of the Lamb and it poured forth on a sinful world to cleanse them of their sin, and I give you My Body and Blood in the Mass and I am ignored.

He slapped their hands and He smite their cheeks and they laughed in their pain and continued their willful ways. But the day of reckoning is at hand and I will separate the sheep from the goats and the sheep I will take home with Me. The goats will know a day as they never knew before for My justice will prevail.

When I warned they would not turn from their evil ways and I could not reach them. They walked as blind men down the path of destruction and who would have thought that the end of the road was so near. And at the end of the road they continued to walk for in the darkness they could not see and they fell into an everlasting pit of doom and suffering.

Justice will prevail. I am a good God. Justice and truth will kiss. When I gave to them My warning they said, "Oh no, Lord," and continued their sinful ways.

The time is at hand. My efforts and yours were in vain. I will wipe their sick smiles from their evil mouths and they will suffer forever the death of the soul.

I will not have mercy on these hard-necked cowards who thought, in their pride, they could smite Me. I will throw the book at them and they will suffer for their sinful ways.

Woe to them who led My children astray. Woe to them. They will burn the eternal death of intense suffering for the murder of My young. And who will help them then? They will know a death beyond all deaths and suffering beyond all suffering. For a few moments of pleasure, they lost their souls forever.

I am a just and merciful God. I give water to quench your thirst, I bathe you in My divine love, but to the evil doers, I will curse their name and wipe them from the face of the earth. I have spoken. Justice will prevail. My hand is struck with power. The senseless ones will know My might.

Who will you call? You said 'no' to God and He struck you for your sinful ways.

All honor and glory be to God for He has visited His people and they cast Him aside. I will light the earth with My love and the dark hearts will curse the night for they will be no more.

And justice will flourish in His time and fullness of peace forever.

I have spoken. The deaf will not hear. My hand is the hand of God and it is struck with power.

I say to the grass to grow and it grows, to the sun to shine and it shines and to you I say, "Be ready for you know not the day nor the hour. I come as a thief in the night to take your soul home to Me. Will you be ready or will you be caught unprepared?"

Prepare ye a way to the Lord. Make ready His steps, My shepherds. I guard you but you will suffer. You must be strong and not caught off guard.

Purify your souls for I am coming and the earth will know My light this Christmas for I will shine in the hearts of the just. I will shine on My shepherds this Christmas. My light will shine in the hearts of those consecrated to My Heart and the heart of My Mother.

Alleluia, a King is born this day. Put aside your silly ways, your bows and tinsel, and praise God. He is in your midst. He reigns this day. You are ignoring the King of Glory. Oh, sinful world, you are in for a weird awakening.

And the light stole across the sky and the light of day shown brighter than seven suns, not to the eye but in the hearts of His faithful ones, the hearts consecrated to God.
