Messenger:        For to us a Savior is born.
                                He is the Light of the world.
                                In the darkness, light shows,
                                brilliant light for a people
                                walking in darkness.

                            Oh Messiah, I cry to be set free
                                from the captivity for the
                                devil presses down and
                                my joy is found in Thee, my God.

                            A Light in darkness —

                            How cold is the earth —
                                in Florida it is warmer —
                                but where I live we experience
                                the awful cold that feels as
                                if it penetrates to the bone.

                            Where the sun may warm in some parts —
                                the cold of chilling Temperatures
                                7 below chills deep into our
                                bodies

                            How cold is the love of man
                                compared to the burning
                                embers of the Heart of Jesus.

                            Some are — Frigid God's Love burning —

July 12, 1994  Tuesday 1:49

Jesus speaks:  Suffer little one, suffer for Me, I am Jesus, suffer that you might partake in the cup of My Salvation. Pray always to the Holy Spirit for strength to give your all in love to do as God wants you to do.

 

December 25, 2004 message continues

Jesus speaks:         Love Me, when others are
                            filled with hate and division you
                            continue to do the will of God in
                            love.

                                Satan wants you stopped.

July 12, 1994 Tuesday 1:49 continued

Jesus speaks:  I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus a flame with this love for you in My Heart. Do not be afraid to be drawn so close to the flame that is shining brightly in My Heart for you and you alone. I love each precious child with this unique love. The same love that led me to die a brutal death for you. Oh child I am God and you worry, let go, see the vision of the magnificence of God and see such little obstacles in the path of God are not obstacles at all. I allow you to go through certain testing. I am teaching you. It may be part of My plan. I am mighty, I am a force, I am God and you shall have no gods before Me.

Messenger:  Forever blessed is His name and He gave such love to them, they scarce could speak.

His love is alive, it is a flame of ardent love burning brightly for love of each soul and 

Jesus speaks:  Oh child I AM GOD, My power, My might. I have all the Power, I bestow such blessings poured out on you My beloved one. Come into My Heart and that of My beautiful Mother and dwell there and find your peace. I am peace, you are My chosen ones. Dwell within our hearts and you will find refuge from the scourging sun. You are the light to this darkened world. Come to Me and I will enkindle this flame ablaze in your heart. This flame of My ardent love. I love you so much. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God, come to give you such love. Harken and you shall know such love poured out to you.

Messenger:  P.S. So half asleep I couldn't see, didn't want to get up.

Every letter I have ever written at home has been before my big Sacred Heart picture and Our Lady's Immaculate Heart. I carry them from the bed to the study.

I bought the big pleading Jesus statue with Sacred Heart and Sorrowful Mother with pierced Heart. I was told to buy both, they sit on My table where I write letters. I always wrote with the two Hearts.

There were 5,000,000 things on the table!

Spirit, Open Me To The Love Of God Within Me

Jesus speaks: You were born to new life in Me.

Messenger: How do you see me? Do you see the Christ that is alive in me? Do you know I am a Christian, Christ-like, by how I act? Do you know I am a Christian by how I love?

Do I love you? Do I complain and not even know it? Do I see myself for the way I am or am I blind and never see at all?

Spirit, open me to the love of God within me. Give me vision into the God that dwells within me. Let me see how I can be more like Christ.

Jesus speaks: The more you realize the indwelling of God within you, the more you will be rooted in My peace. Peace comes from knowing God and His love. No matter what occurs around you, remain at peace. This only comes from God.

Messenger: I see constantly how far I am from Him. My son wanted my keys and wanted them now. I must remain in peace.

His will is for me to be with my son at church and to write this letter. I must constantly act as He would have me act.

I see now how He outpours His love to me in others and how I in my willfulness wanted the love given as I wanted it.

How am I when I am in your presence? Am I loving you, my brother, do I receive so much love and don’t even notice because I want it my way?

God in His goodness is sending me such love constantly. It is outpoured to me, and I am so blind I do not see.

Jesus speaks: Pray children, you are children who need to be taught. You are human, to think you are perfect is to be blind. Work against your faults and grow in union with Me. Pray for vision, pray to the Spirit. Open yourself to the new live that I give you as you grow in love with God.

Your life in God is ever evolving. It does not remain the same. You are to grow in your likeness to Me. Pray for vision, pray to see. You may wander the same valley for so many years and never find your way. You need the vision of God to see your way. Pray for His light to shine in your hearts. Pray to see, where you were blind, you now see.

When the Spirit dwells within you, you grow in vibrancy. With the descent of the Holy Spirit, the Apostles were fearless - they were on fire.

Messenger: When Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit, she spoke in a loud voice, the Magnificat.

When the Spirit is enkindled in our hearts, we will shout out with a loud cry the Good News, that Jesus is Lord, He loves us, He is in our midst this very day and we are His chosen ones.

We are called to spread the Good News.

The Lady is calling. She is calling you now.

May we be on fire with His love.

Would Christ Act As I Am Acting

Messenger: We are called to model ourselves after Christ. I think of Christ and how He was. Total peace, always. Peace to His death on the cross. He did not talk about anyone. He always was loving and giving of himself in service.

If I am to try to act like Christ, I must meditate on how He was.

Being a Christian is to be Christ-like.

Would Christ act as I am acting? I preach the gospel in my very being. I preach His word by how I am. I must be rooted in Him and His love so that I act as He wants me to act. I still will fall short. But I must try to be likened to Christ in all things.

 

 

July 17, 1994

Messenger:  I see You so Jesus. Through the passion, scourged, I see You taken down from the cross, I see You hanging on the cross. I see Your flesh, You gave Your all for us.

    Nothing covering Your skin and they beat Your very own flesh. They whipped You -- nothing between You and the whipping.

    You want my all, no coverings to cover me, to give myself totally and unreservedly to you.

    This is Your act of love for us,
    This should be my act of love for You.

Looking at Your bare body during the passion reminds me how much You dearly love us. There is nothing You hold back, there is nothing You use to separate Yourself from us.

You give us Yourself in the Eucharist. You hold nothing back. You give us You.

Oh, how I love You my precious Savior.

    This is how close He is to us. He is not afraid to get close, He gives Himself. What an act of love. What do I cover myself with to keep me from loving as He asks me to? 

  

  

July 18, 1994  4:10

Messenger:  My Savior, I will let go and trust.

Jesus speaks:   Trust Me now. Live only to love, when you are attacked by satan, let go.

    Have only love toward every man, if you go from me satan will work on your mind. Stay close to Me and never wander from your love of Me.

    I am your God, you shall not have any gods before Me. I AM JESUS LET GO!

Messenger:  I am attached to the car because I can't find the key and I want so terribly to get to Church in the morning.

That is so precious to me to go to Church. I love the morning, I love to go in front of the tabernacle, I love to be with You Jesus.

I want to go to Mass.

Jesus I trust in You, Jesus I give You myself Jesus, I am yours.

This is not mine, this is not yours, this is the message, this is the good news. My heart jumps to speak His name. He is my Savior. He is God. He is my love. I LOVE GOD.

    I love you, I love you, I love you.

  

  

 

July 17, 1994

Messenger:  We are called to be more Christ like. We are Christians, this means more like Christ.

Dear Jesus

Jesus speaks:   My child, satan does not want you to talk about My love. Speak from your heart about My love only. Always remember to strive to be likened to Me. Try in all your actions to be more Christ-like. Ask yourself would Christ act this way. Let go and trust do not get anxious, ever. Be calm and at peace.

    You are the reflection of the Christ who lives within you. Are you acting like Christ would act? Meditate on My life and that of My Mother in the rosary.

    Focus only on My love given for all. I love My dear ones, live to tell them of My love. Do not focus on yourself. You want to draw them closer to My Heart. Think of them and My love for them. This is your opportunity to tell them of My love. You want to draw them close to My Heart. Not to promote yourself.

    You are the empty vessel. Pray the Prayer for Union with Me.

    DO NOT promote yourself. Live to love Me. I know how far you are from being perfect and I love you anyway.

When you see your faults beg to be given the graces to overcome them.

Messenger:  When I speak of My love for You Lord, let me come from a place of love and not pride, ever, ever.

Teach me Your ways.

Jesus speaks:   Strive to be Christ-like My child. All your actions should be rooted in love.

VISION

Messenger:  The bare skin, being beaten, the bare skin when He was stripped, the bare skin on the cross and taken down in His Mother's arms.

He comes to us as He was born, no coverings, He comes and gives us His all, they beat His precious skin, they pierced His tender skull, they pounded nails through His body. They tore His flesh and it hung.

He gave the last beat of His Heart, He gave the last drop of His Blood, no coverings, He gave Himself.

Jesus speaks:   Oh what graces you have been given. Ask for humility and ardent love for your brothers.

Messenger:  Help Me to speak to you of Jesus' love. Help me to learn to convey these messages with Your love.

I have seen His bare body all day, it is so beautiful. He gave His very flesh over to be beaten for love of us.

Jesus speaks:  Agony

    When they whipped Me I did it for love of you.

    I thought of how some day, you would love Me, it give Me such joy when you tell Me you love Me.

    I am the Son of God, I am Jesus Christ, I am Who am and I talk to you. Do you need more recognition then this, ever?

    Let go of your foolish pride and live only to do My work. The spirit is willing the flesh is weak. Will you love your brothers this way for Me?

I am the Alpha, I am the Omega, I am God, yet I give you Myself because I love you.

Do not ever go from My love.

Messenger:  How can I be likened to Christ and model myself after His actions, if I do not pray the rosary. This is Christ and Mary's life from His beginning to end and the Ascension into heaven. It is her life from the Annunciation to her crowning in heaven.

    The love They had for us, the love we need to have for one another. We are truly brothers in Christ.

Jesus speaks:  I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life. I am Jesus come to love you this day with My ardent love.

Messenger:  Jesus gives us Himself in the Eucharist, He gives Himself to you, His Body, His Blood.

    What more do we want from this beautiful God to give His all for love of us.

    Yet we do not even know what He is giving us, we are so blind, we run after foolish things and He, the Son of God, waits for us to be with Him, out of deepest love for us.

    His head was pierced, His back was torn, He was beaten down to His ribs, His flesh hung from His body.

Jesus speaks:  I GIVE you My BODY and BLOOD for love of you and you cry for love.

    God gives His very own body and blood to you.

    I am the Savior of this world, I come to save you from your sins the price I paid is My life, given for each of you. I held nothing back.

     

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.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

    

Messenger:  He was pressed on, from all sides, His head crowned with thorns and bleedings, His face open wounds from being hit, His shoulders so hurt from carrying the cross and His flesh torn on His back, His hands pierced all the way through with nails, His head and neck ached, His feet pierced all the way through with nails.

Think of a pin prick in your fingers, His head was pierced and His hands had big nails in them, likewise His feet.

Live the rosary, meditate on the mysteries during the day.

If one little sore hurts we complain, think of these things, thorns and nails piercing His body.

It wasn't enough they beat up His exterior flesh, they pierced His insides.

Did He give His all?

We wonder how we are violated, how someone hurts our feelings with words.

He underwent such torture to show us the way to surrender.

Jesus speaks:  I am the bread of life, He Who comes to Me will have eternal life and the bread I give is Myself.

I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE. HE WHO EATS OF ME WILL LIVE FOREVER  AND THE GIFT I GIVE IS MYSELF.

Messenger:  Jesus gives us His FLESH. THIS IS THE ACT OF TOTAL GIVING giving your very own flesh and blood.

Like the little innocent lamb led to the slaughter, He is total surrender, He let them do as they did to Him and He could have stopped it.

Think of what others do to Me, do I accept my silence in suffering and love of Him.

Jesus speaks:  They went inside My body Rita, I gave My insides for love of you. I gave the blood in My veins.

    Do you want more proof of My love?

Agony -- He knew all this and He knew all who would reject Him after He did this and lose their soul.

     

  

July 19, 1994

Jesus speaks:  I give you My Body, sweet one, flesh and all, I give you Myself, do you see now, do you see the blood in My veins I pour out to you. This is My true blood given up for you. I shed this blood, I give you My blood this very day.

Do you see how I give Myself to you in My entirety -- My very flesh, My very blood, I give it to you.

Messenger:  I feel Him and hear Him say this so to us. His words are clear and direct, pleading to tell all of this wondrous mystery and what they truly share here with Him.

Jesus speaks:  This is My Body given up for you...

Song:   TAKE AND EAT TAKE AND DRINK
            THIS IS MY BLOOD GIVEN UP FOR YOU.

From December 3, 2004

Messenger:     My dear friends

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

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

From a previous daily message:

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

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

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

end of excerpt
  

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

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

        May God bless you in this
most beautiful season. 

With lots of love and thanks,

                                Rita
