Use Your Talents

October 3, 1993 Chicago Marian Conference 11:30a.m.

Jesus: I am your Savior, Son of the Living God. I come to you that you might have life, not as the world gives you life, but My life which is life eternal. I carved you from My special carving and made you little less than an angel. I love you and cherish all the moments when you, My special child, come to sit with Me. I wait here and I hope you will choose to come, but I never force you. Your will is totally free and I give it to you because of My love and the will of the Father. I inform you in numerous ways. You do not have to guess and wonder. Come be with Me in this silence and all you need to know will be told to you. Your life is unfolding as a beautiful rose. Each petal falls and you plant My odors about as I so desire. I make your life full and sure as you trust in Me. No need for worrying, My little flower. My ways give you freedom if you listen to your heart. I am a personal God and you know Me as giving you fullness and life. You know there is some magnetism to Me and the way you crave to be part of Me. This is the work of the one, true God Who created you with a thirst that can only be quenched by Me. All roads that lead to Me give you fullness, worth, peace and joy, not as the world thinks, but as you yourself know true peace and joy. When I really touch you, you do not remain the same. I shed My Blood for you that you will have the life only I can give. What friend in this world would die for you? You, My child, were worth My dying for. I came that you will have life eternal and the gift I give is My Precious Blood for your sins. Come to Me in trouble and when you are bowed down. Come to Me in joy. Come to Me every day that you live and I will give you all you need. Seek to know Me more and more. Knowledge of Me, being with Me, are the only way to perfect peace. They lead to eternal life.

    I have a divine plan for you. I created you with special gifts and talents to be used to do My work. They are not for your own self-promotion. You, My child, are nothing except as I created you. Why try to promote yourself? It is none of your own doing. I gave you the talents you are using. You had nothing to do with it. These talents were given to you to do My work. To use these talents to make yourself feel better than your brother is indeed a sin. You must realize they are loaned to you to work for Me. As you give someone a car, or loan them a place to stay, I loan you your talents to use to work for Me. If you do not work for Me and use them to make yourself better than your brother, you are offending Me. Likewise, if I give you talents and you do not use them because you think you are not as good as your brother, you are not being thankful to Me for My gifts to you. You are not using My gifts and that offends Me greatly. Each person was created by Me to do My work. Each person has all he needs to do My work. To be envious of others is fruitless. They have their job. You have yours. You are not supposed to do their work. That is why you were not given their talents.

    Do your own work. Don't be envious of your brothers. Don't hide your talents. You did not earn them. I gave you your talents. You must sing because I will it. Others must do as I will them to do. It displeases Me to give you a gift and watch you hide it and make light of it. I give the gift. You must use all your gifts. They were given to you to do My work. Your brother has his gifts. Be grateful for your brother and he should be for you. You are all chosen by Me for a special mission. You know what to do. It feels right. I plant little seeds in your heart and all you do that is for you in the end feels right. You are not to be doing your brother's work or he yours. Talk to Me that you might know just what your work is and do it.

    Do not hide your talents. Praise your God Who gave you these talents. Embrace and use them. This is not pride. This is My plan. I love you. I give to each of you, My precious children, as a mother who buys special Christmas gifts for each child. To buy gifts all the same for all your children is not to respect their specialness, their individuality.

    Oh, I love you, little ones, so much. Please come to Me. I am so good and I wait to be with you and share My love with you. Come now. This is your top priority. All else will work when you come to Me first. I love you. You are My chosen children. Come and be filled and I make your loads light and I fill you with the Spirit of Salvation.

    All roads that lead to Me are the right roads. Praise Me for I am good and I love you, little dear ones.

Excerpt from December 24, 1998

Jesus: I was born in poverty in a little stable. I did not have any riches. The angels sang:

  

Luke 2:14

Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace for those he favours.

  

Jesus: My message is love, My children. The riches are in your hearts. You have surrounded yourselves with bows and tinsel and where is the heartfelt love?

2000 years later have you learned the lesson I came to deliver?

Look at the scene at Bethlehem. You see the Holy Family: the Son of God-made-man; the Virgin Mary, the Spouse of the Holy Spirit; the chosen one, St. Joseph most pure.

We did not have a place to lay Our heads. There was not a plushy bed, I came in dire poverty.

2000 years later have you learned the message of joy and love?

What is most important at your Christmas? It is heartfelt love, that is the message I deliver. You must have hearts of peace and love. I am God. I am Love.

R. On December 23, 1994, I received the following rosary at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. I met Harold and his family.

On December 24, 1994, I received the following message p. 12-13, Rosary Book , December 24, 1994.

     

December 24, 1994

Jesus: My dear little child, please write up the meditations on the rosary. Ask Marty to help you and ask Harold to use his picture for the cover. You are to begin recounting your experiences daily. Start with the experiences from July 5, 1994. Include Fr. Carter's part in the rosary and Marty's part in the rosary. Write down the events you see daily, by date. Write down what you see. Include October 31, 1994 rosary. Marty is your partner in publishing the rosary book. You should list all you both see. Include the Christmas rosary. Begin by writing down your rosary meditations. All will become clear as you begin your rosary journal. Your time recounting these events will lead to a closer understanding of Our lives and Our intimacy with each other.

Mary: Your union with My Son and the Father and the Holy Spirit will deepen as your understanding of the union between myself and Jesus grows. From this day forward you will be closely united to me, your mother, and closely united to Jesus through the rosary. I want you to lead the rosary always. Always dim the lights and use candles. I will be there and Jesus will be there whenever you pray the rosary. We will be with you in a very special way. Your job is to promote the rosary. When you pray the rosary, tell them about my letters to them, centered around my Son in the Eucharist.

Always pray the rosary. Always center it in the Eucharist. Ask Marty and Fr. Carter to help you. This will be a powerful tool for bringing many to the rosary and to loving My Son in the Eucharist. I am Mary, your mother, and that is My Christmas gift to all. Pray the rosary for us.

Mary: My dear ones, I want pictures of the rosary and seven sorrows in the rosary book. I would like meditations on the seven sorrows. I would like the songs that could be used during the different mysteries of the rosary. I would like rosary meditations and certain messages that pertain to meditations on some mysteries. My rosary, prayed as I have instructed, will lead many hearts to Our Two Hearts. We are so closely united in the rosary. The rosary is the most beautiful prayer. Singing between the Hail Marys pleases me so much. Lift up your hearts. Pray the rosary with your whole heart and it will live in your day. I, your beloved mother, and My Son thank you for responding to my call.

R. Two years later on December 17, 1996, the Rosary Book with the rainbow and the rose picture Harold painted would be released.

December 19, 1996   Message from Mary

Mary: "My dear children, I give to you my Son Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.

I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.

I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book."

R. A final comment from Jesus at the end of the Rosary Book , Rosaries from the Heart of Jesus and Mary, November 12, 1996, about one month before Mary was found on the building. p.174.

An excerpt from that message:   

Jesus: This rosary book, Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, is very dear to My Most Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. Please use this book faithfully. I am giving to you abundant grace to grow more and more in union with Our Hearts when you use this book while praying the rosary.

I love you.
Jesus

  


March 18, 1995

Jesus: These are My messages for My beloved ones. I am handling this, you are unaware of what is coming. You must pray constantly for all you work with. Satan wants you stopped and the rosary stopped - now!

I am giving all involved in this, this letter to pray - read My letters. It is in focusing on Me, My love, that you will fight off Satan's attacks. One hour daily in adoration before the tabernacle - these are My letters.

The rosary is given as a gift from Our Hearts to this world.

Do not underestimate the power of the rosary. Prayed this way. I will give you many graces - graces that will open hearts to the messages. This rosary is given to the world. This is a special gift from Our Hearts.

I want this book to be titled: Rosaries From the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Received and given daily at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, Norwood, Ohio…

VICTIMHOOD

Jesus: I speak to you of victimhood. There are many today that will suffer a very unhappy Christmas because of unmet needs in childhood. Every alcoholic, every person looking for pleasure here to fill themselves because they were not loved as a baby or a child, is plagued by unmet needs. The pain within lurks in the heart, the pain of the little child from the past.

Every person was created to live in love in the Father's family. You are called to receive God's love, and to love God and one another. Because of generations of imperfect parents, there are many little babies that are wounded and grow up to be wounded adults indulging in sex, drink, and consumption of worldly pleasures not according to God's will.

America, world, your children are wounded and cry as babies on this Christmas night because you have ignored the Lady of Fatima that came to love you and bring you peace. She is the Woman who brought forth the Child in dire poverty in the stable. She cries to you to bring your children to her that Mary Immaculate, your Mother, can bring you forth in her Immaculate womb, her Heart, and heal your spiritual wounds. But you ignore her. Only an Immaculate, spotless Virgin can heal your wounds, America, My world and My children. I address America because she appears there as Our Lady of Guadalupe to bring forth her children and you ignore her. Her feet are crushing out the darkness. She carries you to her Immaculate Heart, there you are, like the ones that boarded Noah's ark. You will withstand the treacherous seas, for she is the Ark of the Covenant, the Gate of heaven, the Singular vessel, the Vessel of devotion, the Morning star. She is the refuge to take her children to My most Sacred and loving Heart in which are found the treasures of My divine love.

I tell you this briefly. Many do not feel good in their hearts. At Christmas the unmet needs of the past come to surface. The person wishes to feel good, how will this be attained?

1. You, my partner, are blamed and held accountable for my pain inside.

2. You, my friend, must be responsible, for I am hurting inside and I have pain so I must blame someone.

The child of the past does not look deep into the heart, choked off by walls, and see the pain hidden deep below.

I speak now of wounds. Many with wounded hearts, when they do not feel good inside, automatically find a victim, create a case, try the person and convince themselves that if they fix the person, they will feel better inside.

My children, when you hurt inside, look inside. Nurture yourself with prayer. Come to the Eucharist and receive the Bread of Life. Write a letter to Me and tell Me, "Jesus, I do not feel good inside, I think that my brother has offended me, this is the cause. Help me to be fixed inside by Your grace and help the wounds inside to heal. Jesus, help me."

Pain inside the hearts must be healed with My love. Eve sinned and so sin entered the world. I carried the cross on My back for all the victims. Identify your victimhood with Me.

When you feel bad inside, realize that you must look first inside. Events in your lives can cause you suffering and pain, but the hidden deep wounds of a child of an alcoholic, an over-indulgent parent, can cause a lifetime of problems for all those around such a person. Yes, you are the children of Eve. You are sinful and debased and I came in the pure Virgin. Until the world takes off their coverings and look at what lurks below in the hearts and beg God's forgiveness and grace, you will take many of your pains out on others.

Christmas is for love, genuine love found in your hearts. I ask you to see the Holy Family, Joseph, Mary and the Baby Jesus. I ask you to be a child of Mary. I ask you to be cradled in her arms.

I ask you to quit going to your money and your world, the things of the world, to fill you. I came in poverty. A man, a drink, food, sex, games, amusements, power, money will not fill that hole you feel inside. Only God will fill the emptiness inside. I am here truly present in the Eucharist. I am the Lord of Hosts. I give you My messages in the Blue Book.

We come to heal the wounded hearts in Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Quit blaming someone else when you don't feel good inside. Go to God.

The novena has almost ended. I ask you to continue to pray that people obey the Lady of Fatima. I ask you to help spread the consecration to the priests, school children and the families. I ask you to please help Me. I give you the Shepherds of Christ Movement, will you help them spread the priestly newsletter to the priests and the other materials to the world?

Jesus: I came in a stable, I was laid on bare wood. I died on bare wood.

 

Luke 2-6-7

Now it happened that, while they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to a son, her first-born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the living-space.

 

Luke 2:34-35

Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, 'Look, he is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed--and a sword will pierce your soul too--so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.'

  

Luke 23:21

...but they shouted back, 'Crucify him! Crucify him!'

 

Luke 23: 33-38

The crucifixion

When they reached the place called The Skull, there they crucified him and the two criminals, one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them; they do not know what they are doing.' Then they cast lots to share out his clothing.

The crucified Christ is mocked

The people stayed there watching. As for the leaders, they jeered at him with the words, 'He saved others, let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.' The soldiers mocked him too, coming up to him, offering him vinegar, and saying, 'If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.' Above him there was an inscription: 'This is the King of the Jews'.

  

Jesus: The thoughts of many will be laid bare. They stripped Me of My garments and I hung exposing all of the wounds they gave to Me.

You must realize that you must lay bare your wounds and ask God to heal them.

I died with My bare skin exposed on the cross.

They heaped the sins of the world on My back. I carried your burden to the bitter end. You must not hide your faults. You must be true. Do not lie to yourselves. Go to confession. You will be cleansed, you will see the light. I am alive, I am alive, I am alive. Come out of your tombs.

Included is the rosary of December 23, 1994

   

December 23, 1994

The Sorrowful Mysteries

Agony in the Garden

1. R. Be there with our beloved Jesus in the garden. Hear the sounds of the night. See Him as He kneels in such anguish, seeing all the things that are about to happen with His coming Passion.

2. And He cries out to His Father. Luke 22:42 " 'Father,' he said, 'if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.' "

3. Agonies of the heart...the greatest of all agonies. Jesus saw before Him the souls that He loved so dearly. Many souls would neglect Him and treat Him with such indifference.

4. The agonies He suffered to His Heart were so immense. The wounds in His Heart so deep.

5. He saw before Him all of His most beloved souls that would be condemned to eternal damnation despite all the sufferings that He was about to undergo.

6. His agony was so great that His sweat became as great drops of Blood upon the ground.

7. This is the reality: God runs the world. Jesus truly suffered for love of us. He gave His life and He suffered in the garden for all the sins that we are committing this day.

8. He saw before Him His entire Passion: the blows, the spitting, His death on the cross. He saw this. With greatest love of us, He endured the Passion to the end.

9. He was filled with such anguish and suffering that an angel of the Lord appeared to Him to comfort Him.

10. He waits endless hours in the tabernacle today. Jesus Christ, the Son of God in His Divinity and His humanity, waits for us to come and to be with Him. He said in the garden: Matthew 26:40-41 "He came back to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, 'So you had not the strength to stay awake with me for one hour? Stay awake, and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.' " Can we visit Him today in the tabernacle?

Scourging at the Pillar

1. R. See Jesus as they tie Him to the pillar. He is God-made-man.

2. With anger in their hearts, they beat Jesus to the point of their own exhaustion.

3. Hear the sounds as they beat Jesus. They hit His precious back. Hear the blows over and over again as it tears at His flesh. Do you hear Jesus as He makes whimpering sounds? The men are filled with anger and hatred, and they beat Jesus with great force.

4. Do we have any idea what it is like to suffer as Jesus suffered for love of us?

5. How deep are the wounds that covered His entire Body as they stood by mercilessly and they beat Him?

6. Think of how Jesus suffered. Be there at the pillar and hear the sounds. See what He went through: their anger and their voices hollering at Jesus. He was mercilessly tied to the pillar while they struck Him, God Who is all love.

7. SONG: A Song from Jesus

8. SONG: Teach Me to Love With Your Heart (verse 1)

9. SONG: Teach Me to Love With Your Heart (verse 2)

10. SONG: Teach Me to Love With Your Heart (verse 3)

The Crowning of Thorns

1. R. They pounded a piercing crown of thorns into Jesus' most precious head.

2. They put a dirty purple robe on Jesus and they sat Him on a throne. They mocked Him and they spit on Him, and they hollered ugly slanders against Him.

3. SONG: God's Love (verse 1)

4. SONG: God's Love (verse 4)

5. He is truly here with us, and His Heart is ablaze with love that radiates for us. We are His beloved ones. He withstood all this torture so that we might have eternal life, so that He might have the deepest union with us. And some day, if we go to heaven, we will be forever united to Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit in such close union that will last forever and ever and ever. He shed and gave His last drop of Blood for love of each one of us.

6. SONG: A Song from Jesus

7. He is present in the tabernacle with such love for each one of us as He had the day they crowned Him with thorns and poked Him and spat on Him. He is with us this day, no less present than the day He was scourged and crowned with thorns. He loves us so much. He shed His Blood and gave the last beat of His Heart.

8. Hail Mary.....

9. Hail Mary.....

10. Hail Mary.....

Jesus Carries His Cross

1. R. He carried His cross on His most precious shoulder. The weight was so heavy that it felt as if His shoulder would break. He did not give up His cross. When the weight was too heavy for Him to bear, He collapsed under the weight of it.

2. SONG: Under the Weight of the Wood

3. Jesus traveled with His cross on His back. His Heart was in such anguish for all the souls that would reject the grace for eternal salvation that He would merit for them.

4. Jesus is our focus. The more we are drawn to the immense love of this most Sacred Heart, the more we realize how He is truly alive this day. He loves each one of us. We will experience the peace, the joy, and the love that He wants us to have. We will be His lights shining in this world.

5. He has DIVINE LIFE and DIVINE LOVE in His most Sacred Heart. He outpours HIS LIFE TO US. He merited this grace for us by His death on the cross.

6. As His Mother walked along side of Him on Calvary, she walks along side of each of us. She never leaves our side. She withstood all this suffering. She knew what it was like to suffer. She did not take anything to relieve the suffering and she did not leave His side. She withstood such suffering, standing by His side. She stands by our side as we walk our path, which sometimes seems like a slow Calvary. But Mary is by our side with such love. She gives us her maternal love. She mothers us as the most perfect Mother. God the Father chose Mary as Mother of Jesus and us.

7. When our path is so hard we must realize Mary is always with us. It is God's grace that will get us through.

8. Jesus' grace is sufficient for every trial that you are experiencing this day. We must go to Him, go to His most Sacred Heart through Mary's Immaculate Heart. Mary leads us to Him. He is Love.

9. SONG: Little Baby Hands and Feet (verse 1)

10. SONG: Little Baby Hands and Feet (verse 2)

Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross

1. R. See Mary as she holds the tender feet and the tender hands of the Child Jesus. And see her as she sees them nail His precious hands and feet with big nails into the cross.

2. How deep are the wounds in Thy precious hands and Thy feet, oh Jesus? How deep, oh Jesus, are the wounds to Your Heart? You suffered so for souls. Oh precious Jesus, fill our hearts with Your divine love and Your divine grace so that we may never wound Thy Sacred Heart with indifference, with neglect. Fill us with Your divine life so that we will always be drawn to the source of real life which is only found in You. I am sorry for all who neglect you in the Holy Eucharist.

3. You gave Your very flesh, You gave all the Blood in Your veins. You spread Your arms and You gave Your all for love of us, dear Jesus. And this day, You give Yourself in Your Divinity and Your humanity, with greatest love, in the Holy Eucharist. Help us, dear Jesus, to be deeply aware that you are truly the Son of God and that when we receive You, we receive God in our hearts.

4. SONG: A Song From Jesus

5. You ask us to love God and love one another. You were beaten for love of our brothers. Why can't we love our brothers? You call us to love as You loved us. You call us to give our lives for our brothers.

6. Oh Mary, as you stand under the cross, how deep is the anguish to your Heart? You have no wounds, you have no scars. You're supported by your beloved John. And this day you walk by our side and you support us as we walk what seems to be a Calvary sometimes. You forever walk by our side and hold us up with such motherly love. You gave Jesus such love as you stood under His cross. Thank you, Mary, for the love that you outpour to us.

7. SONG: I Love You Jesus (verse 1)

8. Let us see, Oh Mary, through your eyes, the love that your precious Son has for us. Let us be joined ever closer to the tender Heart of Jesus through your most Immaculate Heart. Jesus gave the last drop of His Blood and the last beat of His Heart for love of us.

9. SONG: I Love You, Jesus (verse 2)

10. SONG: I Love You, Jesus (verse 3)

  7. Song: See the eyes that look at Mary, her tender infant Child…

  8. She looked at the baby Jesus. She held Him in her arms. All through their life together, she knew His Heart. There was such love from the moment of conception between her and her Son! There was such intimacy between the Heart of Jesus and the Heart of Mary.

  9. Dear Mary, you knew the Heart of your beloved Son Jesus. Please lead us to closer intimacy with Him. It is in loving Him through your pure and tender Heart that I too will love Him more tenderly.

  10. Let us love, through your Heart, our beloved Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple

  1. R. How the Heart of Mary knew the Heart of Jesus! How the Heart of Mary suffered every sorrow. How she suffered when they lost the child Jesus in the temple.

  2. She calls out to us today to pray for her little lost children of the world.

  3. "It happened that, three days later, they found him in the Temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and asking them questions; and all those who heard him were astounded at his intelligence and his replies." (Lk 2:46,47)

  4. When His parents saw Him "…his mother said to him, 'My child, why have you done this to us? See how worried your father and I have been, looking for you?' " (Lk 2:48)

  5. "He went down with them then and came to Nazareth and lived under their authority. His mother stored up all these things in her heart." (Luke 2:51)

  6. She was His Mother. She took care of Him. She knew Him with a deep, motherly love in her Heart.

  7. Mary: My beloved children, pray to the child Jesus. He will answer your prayers.

  8. I see Mary before me alive many times when I pray this mystery of the rosary. I see her and hear her call out. She begs us to pray for her lost children so that they will not be condemned to hell for their sinfulness and willfulness.

  9. Mary: I am Mary, your mother. I am urgently calling you to spread the love of My Son Jesus to the world. Make this your Christmas gift to this world: to help spread these rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Please spread them to the children and the adults.

  10. Song: O come, little children…

  

Excerpt from daily message September 24, 1998.  

R. I know the Power, I know the Intimate Burning Heart of Jesus in the Mass.

Jesus: (Ascension Day May 21, 1998)

Your earth is enclosed in a wall of their own making. They have put up walls to enclose themselves. They have traveled around in their little boxes and spit at the freedom that I wish to give them.

Freedom is in living according to God's will, Freedom is in Me.

Talk of chains, for you have some. Your have bars and are enclosed in your stone or brick houses. A mighty fortress is your dwelling, you think. A mighty fortress is in the walls of My Heart.

I am the gateway that leads to Freedom. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Holy One of the Virgin Israel. I am the gateway to heaven. I am God.

Come out of your tombs, I am alive, I am treated as a dead object.

Sing a new song, the dead shall be raised.

They conquered the devil with the Blood of the Lamb.

Pray to the Holy Spirit to come mightily on you.

Children's Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary
 

Resurrection

  1. Mary: This is a rosary for the children of America. This is a rosary from your Mother Mary, on this April 25th, of 1996. May the children of America unite in one heart, in one mind and love with my Son Jesus with all their hearts.

  2. R. Mary calls us as the children of light to march across this world and to carry the banner of His light in our hearts, that all may see His life within us and praise the Almighty God who loves us with His burning Heart of love.

  3. See Jesus adorned in the brightest light as He comes forth from the tomb. This is the Almighty God, all-powerful, clothed in all splendor and glory and He has chosen each one of you, for this mission to help lead the light across this world. For generations to come all will remember your fervor and your love of God as it spreads from your hearts to all that you touch.

  4. He is alive and He lives in this world in the hearts of men. The youth will carry the love of Jesus for the future generation.
    Jesus: I am calling you to be the backbone of this Junior Shepherds of Christ Movement, to lead the children and the adults to the love of the Almighty God.

  5. R. He came, He died, and He rose on the third day to give us life. He is filling each one of us with His abundant life, that we will go into the world and He will live in us in all of our actions.

  6. I am the messenger. The message is from God, from Jesus and Mary to you, to be His youth to carry His love to this darkened world. The world that is filled with such sin and agony.

  7. Do you hear the cries of your heavenly Mother? Will you go to her and let her fill you with her motherly love, that you will have the strength to carry out this mission?

  8. Song: Here I Am Lord

  9. Jesus: Who will I send if you say no to this mission?

  10. R. See the Heart of Jesus after the resurrection. The glorified Heart of Jesus filled with such light and vibrancy, radiating His love. See it pulsate. This is the love that He has for all men.

The Ascension of Our Lord into Heaven

  1. Jesus: My youth, My youth will carry My love to this world. You must be holy in your hearts. I am calling you to this holiness, to this love of God, that you will be the apostles to spread My love to this world.

  2. R. He took the apostles near the town of Bethany. He raised His arms and He ascended into heaven.

  3. Jesus no longer walks the earth. He lives in us as we walk this earth. He loves through us. He touches others as we live according to the will of the Father.

  4. Our whole life is to be spent in this oneness with God, that He can touch others through us.

  5. We are commissioned in Baptism to carry out His life, death and resurrection in our lives.

  6. Jesus: My precious ones that I have called here to this Junior Shepherds of Christ Movement, open your hearts and let Me fill your soul with My love. You are so precious to Me. I am guarding you every moment of your lives. I am watching over you. You will truly be My apostles that will lead many to My burning love. I love you, I love you, I love you.

  7. R. The apostles were filled with fear as they saw Jesus ascend into the sky. But, before Jesus ascended into the sky, He promised to send the Holy Spirit to them, that they would, when the Holy Spirit descended upon them, be filled with fearlessness and would go into the world and carry forth His message of love.

  8. The apostles were so filled with fear that they locked themselves in the upper room to wait for the Holy Spirit.

  9. Jesus: Blessed are you My chosen ones, for I am giving to you great graces. You will be joined ever closer to My Heart. Surrender and do not give into the temptation to go astray. I am the Almighty God. I guard your every heart beat. I am watching you and I know every thought that you think.

  10. Jesus: Satan aims to trip you up and stop you on your path. I am there to guard you and to give you My grace.

The Descent upon the Apostles and the Virgin Mary

  1. R. Put yourself in the room with the Apostles and the Virgin Mary and hear the wind and the roar of a fire. There appeared over the head of the Apostles parted tongues of fire. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and they were transformed from fear to fearlessness.

  2. The Apostles many times were afraid. Peter denied Jesus. We see how they did not always know what was going on. But, now the Holy Spirit descended upon them and they were filled with this fearlessness, that they went out to preach the gospel.

  3. Jesus: You My young shepherds, My young apostles, I am sending into this world. As you hear the Scriptures during this time of the year, think of yourselves as you go into the world, to spread My love, to the world that is hurting and in pain.

  4. Oh youth of America, do you see how the children and the young adults are being poisoned every moment on the television and with video games? I am the Almighty God. I ask you to pray fervently with your young hearts, for the Father will hear your prayers and He will give to you great grace to help carry out His mission for you.

  5. I send you as sheep among wolves. You will calm the angered heart and many will turn their hearts to God because of the love for God in your heart.

  6. Pray to the Holy Spirit fervently, all through the day.

  7. He will give to you a sharing in His divine wisdom and you will know far beyond your human comprehension and understand so much of the plan of the Father for this world.

  8. I can give you clear understanding in one, minute second that many will not know in all their years of their life. I am the Almighty God, I want to shower you with My divine wisdom.

  9. My stiff-necked people, they harden their hearts and they walk away. They have made idols their gods and I wait and long for their love. Will you be My apostles to tell this world of My burning love, that many will be saved through your prayers and through all your efforts to spread this love to the world?

  10. You help in the act of redemption. All of your actions should be offered as a sacrifice united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to the Father, in the Holy Spirit.

The Assumption of Our Blessed Lady into Heaven

  1. R. The Almighty God controls our every breath and our every heart beat. We are totally dependent on Him. If we go to the highest mountain we cannot escape Him. He is with us and in our hearts at every moment. We must be at peace in our hearts, or we will not feel good in our lives.

  2. The television and video games have drawn many of the youth totally outside of themselves for excitement, but their hearts are withering and dying inside. There must be time spent everyday that you can hear God speak in your heart.

  3. To go to the world for pleasure and to forget the inner workings of your heart, is to lead a life of loneliness and pain.

  4. Mary: I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary and I am asking you, my beloved youth, to help spread this rosary to all the youth in world.

  5. I am asking you to give me your heart everyday and to tell me of your love. I will place your heart in the Heart of my Son and you will be at peace and to know Our love for you.

  6. The world is vast, the world is wide. The Almighty God created the world, the sun in the sky and everything in it. He has all the power. We must turn to Him and realize that He controls our life.

  7. If your heart has turned to darkness, how dark is dark?

  8. The devil wants to take my little children deeper and deeper into sin. Look at the violence in your world. I am Mary your Mother, I am calling to you, my specially chosen children of the light, to pray and to come to my heart

  9. Do not be willful. Obey authority. This teaches you to obey the Father.

  10. To His death on the cross, my Son always obeyed the will of the Father.

Mary is Crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth

  1. Mary: My Son obeyed always the will of His Father. My dear children, Satan wants you to be willful. You must be obedient.

  2. Pray that you will be humble. That you will be filled with all the virtues, that your hearts will be rooted in the love of God.

  3. R. We see Mary as the angel appeared to her and asked her to be the Mother of God. She obeyed and said yes. Then we see that the Father crowned her as Queen of heaven and earth.

  4. Mary: Reach with your hearts, my sweet, sweet children. Let your hearts be always alive and filled with love. Spend time alone with your beloved Jesus.

  5. Satan is aimed at the youth of this world. He wants to cut the youth off from their hearts. You will be my chosen ones that will lead the fire of His love (my Son) across the land.

  6. On this day, April 25th, 1996, I am Mary your Mother calling you to an urgent message. Listen my children, you are children of the light. You will march on the darkened world and many will be filled with hearts of love.

  7. I am Mary your Mother and I am telling you that the Father has called you to this Center, that you have been chosen from so many, that the Father has chosen you and is calling you to help in the work of salvation.

  8. Do you believe that God is truly talking to you? This is a message from your Mother. I am telling you that the Father has a great plan for each one of you gathered in this room. I am Queen of heaven and earth and you are my children of the light.

  9. See the souls shriveling in the fires of hell. So many this day are dropping into hell like drops of rain. As you pray fervently from your hearts to the Holy Spirit, you will see clearly the plan of the Father for you. You must pray to the Holy Spirit all through the day and spend time alone with your beloved Jesus.

  10. If you do not spend time each day alone with God, you will have problems in your life. For it is in those quiet moments that He teaches you about Himself and that He reveals the Father's plan for you.

Mary: I am Mary your Mother, this is a special rosary for you. I have not given very many messages in a long time. But, I have spoken to you for this is an urgent call to you, my sweet children. Thank you for your faithfulness to the Heart of my Son, Jesus. He loves you with a most burning love. I am Mary your Mother, and thank you for responding to my call.

A Message from Mary on Christmas Eve

Mary: My children,
1. I ask you to pray the rosary.
2. I ask you to consecrate your hearts to Our Hearts.
3. I ask you to observe the First Saturday Devotion.
4. I ask you to make reparation to Our Hearts.

I am your Mother Mary. I ask you to pray the rosary with your family. I want to mother you and lead you to the Heart of my Son Jesus.

Help me from my site in Florida, my little Fatima in the Americas, to reach my children of the world.

I am Mary, your Mother. I love you.

Please end with the songs I am a Child of God and Why Do We Hurt the Ones We Love.


 

I AM A CHILD OF GOD

VS. 1
           OH I AM A CHILD OF GOD
           OH I GIVE MY LIFE TO YOU
           I SEE YOUR HEART UP-ON YOUR BREAST
           AND HOPE I CAN DWELL IN THEE.

VS. 2
           OH I AM A CHILD OF GOD
           I KNOW OF MY LOVE FOR THEE
           I KNOW MY LIFE DE-PENDS ON YOU
           AND KNOW I WILL STRUGGLE FOR THEE.

VS. 3
           OH LITTLE SON OF HIM
           OH COME WITH HU-MIL-I-TY
           AND ASK HIM NOW TO GRACE YOUR SOUL
           WITH LOVE THAT IS LIKENED TO GOD


 

Why Do We Hurt The Ones We Love

Why do we hurt the ones we love
Why don't we see it hurts only us
to give of ourselves just makes us rich
to be selfish just makes us poor
When we love one another we're giving to God
when we love one another we're building lasting love.

So keep right on giving
God is with you Now
and God will bless you
with ever lasting love.

Hate that inside eats you away
it makes you hurt every day
It festers and only causes pain
Just give all your hurts to God
You can love today just smile and be glad
that God is with you in everything you do.

So just start living
God is with you now
And turn to Him
In everything you do

Question for married couples and those in other intimate relationships:

Q: How do you feel we can carry the love of Christmas through our lives every day of the New Year?

 

Readings at Midnight

Christmas

Isaiah 9: 1-6

 

The people that walked in darkness 
    have seen a great light; 
on the inhabitants of a country 
    in shadow dark as death 
        light has blazed forth. 
You have enlarged the nation, 
    you have increased its joy; 
they rejoice before you 
    as people rejoice at harvest time, 
as they exult 
    when they are dividing the spoils. 

For the yoke that weighed on it, 
    the bar across its shoulders, 
the rod of its oppressor, 
these you have broken 
    as on the day of Midian. 

For all the footgear 
    clanking over the ground 
and all the clothing rolled in blood, 
will be burnt, will be food for the flames. 

For a son has been born for us, 
a son has been given to us, 
and dominion has been laid 
    on his shoulders; 
and this is the name he has been given, 
‘Wonder–Counsellor, Mighty–God, 
Eternal–Father, Prince–of–Peace’ 
to extend his dominion 
    in boundless peace, 
over the throne of David 
    and over his kingdom 
to make it secure and sustain it 
in fair judgement and integrity. 
From this time onwards and for ever, 
the jealous love of Yahweh Sabaoth 
    will do this.

   

Psalm 96: 1-3, 11-13

Sing a new song to Yahweh!
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth!
Sing to Yahweh, bless his name!

Proclaim his salvation day after day,
declare his glory among the nations,
his marvels to every people!

Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad! 
Let the sea thunder, and all it holds! 
Let the countryside exult, and all that is in it, 
and all the trees of the forest cry out for joy, 

at Yahweh’s approach, for he is coming, 
coming to judge the earth; 
he will judge the world with saving justice, 
and the nations with constancy.

  

Titus 2: 11-14

    You see, God's grace has been revealed to save the whole human race; it has taught us that we should give up everything contrary to true religion and all our worldly passions; we must be self-restrained and live upright and religious lives in this present world, waiting in hope for the blessing which will come with the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour Christ Jesus. He offered himself for us in order to ransom us from all our faults and to purify a people to be his very own and eager to do good

 

Luke 2: 1-14

Now it happened that at this time Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be made of the whole inhabited world. This census—the first—took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria, and everyone went to be registered, each to his own town. So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in Galilee for Judaea, to David’s town called Bethlehem, since he was of David’s House and line, in order to be registered together with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. Now it happened that, while they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to a son, her first–born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the living–space. In the countryside close by there were shepherds out in the fields keeping guard over their sheep during the watches of the night. An angel of the Lord stood over them and the glory of the Lord shone round them. They were terrified, but the angel said, ‘Do not be afraid. Look, I bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. And here is a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.’ And all at once with the angel there was a great throng of the hosts of heaven, praising God with the words: 

    Glory to God in the highest heaven, 
    and on earth peace for those he favours. 

 

Christmas

December 25, 2008

HOMILY – (Isaiah 62:11-12; Titus 3:4-7; Luke 2:15-20) I read the children’s book: The Invisible String by Patrice Karst. Because of copyright laws it would not be permissible to reprint the whole story. The theme of the book is a mother explaining to her two small children (who were frightened in the night by lightening) that she is always connected to them by an invisible string. No matter where they went they were connected, and they were connected to one another and to their friends the same way. Love is the invisible string that connects us all and keeps us from ever being lonely. It’s a beautiful story.

I went to a class this year (a person has to keep learning even after they graduate from school) and the professor began our class with this story. I thought how perfect for Christmas.

Jesus came to tell us about the invisible string that connects us with God, God’s love for us. Because God is a pure spirit God, has no body and God is invisible to our eyes. We can only know him by seeing all the beautiful things God made, and by the holy things God has spoken to us through his prophets, but God wanted to do more to convince us of his love. And so God’s own Son became human like us to tell us about God and to tell us about God’s love - the invisible connection God has with us.

After he taught us about God’s love and showed it to us in everything he did, Jesus returned to his Father in heaven to prepare a place for us where we would be with him forever. But just so we would know he hasn’t left us alone, he gave us Communion to help us stay united with him and he sent his Holy Spirit to dwell in our hearts.

That invisible string between us and God, the power of his love for us and the sacraments and the Holy Spirit, and the invisible string that unites us with those we love, this gives us a peace and a joy no one can take from us.

Isn’t it great that Jesus was born and aren’t you glad to know that we are connected with him and he with us. When we pray we tug on that invisible string and he tugs back, so let us continue to celebrate his birth and thank God for sending him to us to be our friend and our savior.

Amen.

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C — In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
