18 Years Ago Today

December 17, 2014 Rosary
Clearwater, Florida

live - transcribed from a tape

Song: The Rosary Song

R. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Apostles Creed

Jesus: And I come to you this night and I ask you to pray on this Anniversary. For My Father has given to you a great gift in Our Lady of Clearwater, who has appeared here, for all these years. Let your hearts be soft. Give great love to your God, and offer yourselves, in living according to the Father's will in love.

R. We pray for Pope Francis so that he and the hierarchy and the priests, will help us start the prayer chapters, Jesus asked Fr. Carter to begin.  Our Father

R. We want to pray for an increase of faith, hope and love.  3 Hail Marys

Mary: I appear to you as Our Lady of Clearwater.

 

Luminous Mysteries

The Baptism of Jesus

1. Sing: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria

R. We think of the Baptism of Jesus, and we know that this started His public life, and He did so much in those 3 years of healing and performing miracles and teaching. And we see ourselves as being called by Jesus to be healers and teachers of what God has given to us in this world.

2. Mary: And I appeared as Our Lady of Light for 14 months, calling the world 20 years ago, to hear my message of spreading the rosary to the school children, and throughout the world and I was ignored.

3. Mary: And I call you to slow down, and to listen. God the Father allowed me to appear here 18 years ago, and the world has ignored the message that He sent. Make reparation now for the offenses against your God. For He has called this night for this reason, that it be an anniversary in which you tell God, that you are sorry for the offenses of men against God.

4. Mary: I come Our Lady of Peace, to a world that is struggling because of their willfulness. Pray with me now, spreading the Blood of Jesus on this whole place, consecrating your hearts to my heart and to the Heart of my Son, casting the devil far away and praying for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon every single person that touches this property now. I am Our Lady of the Rosary. Pray as I have asked, with reverence and in reparation for the offenses against your God.

5. Hail Mary

6. Mary: I am Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas.

7. Mary: That the devil will be cast far from this place.

8. Mary: That you will know that God the Father has sent me.

9. Mary: Now meditate, slow down, unite to the Mass, and pray.

R. Dear Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory, we pray for protection with the Blood of Jesus upon us and this whole place, upon our procession, upon any person that touches this special place, God has chosen on this 18th Anniversary.

    We cast the devil far away, into the fires of hell, we ask for a special outpouring on all hearts in as far as we are able, and we ask for the Holy Spirit to come, to come to this place now, to come to our hearts, to fill us with wisdom and understanding and love. Dear God, how dearly we love You. Hear our prayer. Amen.

10. R. And I pray all these prayers through the most powerful intercession of Our Lady, as she prays with us.

Song: A Song from Jesus
 

R. And we pray for healing graces for all of us, all that we have in our hearts that we are praying for. We just ask God for all those lists that we have, for all the people we have been praying for, since the 2nd of December, for all the promises that we made in the Christmas Cards we sent to all the priests in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and Florida. We pray for the postage for the rest of the priests. For it is like they are trying to stick us with something extra. We spread the Blood of Jesus on all those involved in that, that they will not change the postage that we have been paying for years. Dear God, we are completely dependent upon You.

 

The Marriage at Cana

R. And I saw her on October the 5th, and she appeared and she was so beautiful, and the people on the outside sounded like they were a choir of angels praying the prayers, with such intercession to God. And I saw Mary appear and her mouth was moving so distinctly, as it is now, showing me how she prays with us, in that powerful intercession.

    This mystery of the rosary shows what they considered the first miracle, the marriage at Cana, where Jesus changed water into wine. And Mary told them that they had no wine and He said to her, well, My time has not come, and yet He change all those jugs of water into wine.

    And so recalling the special apparition I had here, on October the 2nd – I don't know, if I said the 5th, I meant the 2nd – it was like so powerful to me, and I'll never forget it as long as I live, even though she has appeared to me 20 years, because her mouth was just so distinctly moving to show me how she prays with us.

    And the more I was told how perfect her prayer is to God, and how powerful her intercession – and I can see her now, and see that she is praying with us, and our prayer can be very, very powerful for all these intentions that we have promised to pray for, people asked us to pray for, healing that we want for ourselves and for our families, healing for Dan and for Jack, and for Christopher and all the people that - Matthew - that we promised to pray for, for you, for me, for Amanda.

    There are just so many things in our lives that we feel so deep in our heart, and I want us to be able to bring them here to this mystery of the rosary and to, while the Blessed Mother is appearing, to pray with her powerful intercession, on this really special night.

1. R. And we pray for all those things that You asked us to pray for, God, that You asked us to pray for, Jesus, in the December 9th message, and we believe that we can pray for those men that do evil things, and that You can grant a grace, and that You really are working in the hierarchy, in the Church and the priests. We just love You and thank You.

2. R. And we thank You for the gift that You have given to us in this building, and all Mary's apparitions here.

3. R. And we pray with Mary's powerful intercession here.

4. Mary: Do you believe this special presence, that I am here with you this night, on this Anniversary of my apparition on this building, that God the Father has given to this world, a great sign. But you, my chosen ones, thank Your Father for the gift that He still allows me to appear, and has given to you this building for prayer. You have been blessed, my chosen ones. Tell God of your gratitude.

R. Dear God, we thank You for the blessings You have given to us here, and in our lives, and in the Shepherds of Christ, and in the writings, and in the Blue Books and in the priests, being able to send this. Please help the postage.

5. Hail Mary

6. R. And He turned water into wine. He performed miracles, miracles of healing, and miracles that were just such gifts. And today we pray for healing too. We put our heart in the heart of Mary, and her heart is in the Heart of Jesus. And we pray for an increase of faith and hope and love in our lives. We pray for our families, and anybody that touches us and them. We pray for the evil men in the world, that it will stop. We pray for our country, through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater, that it will be the land of Our Lady.

7. Hail Mary
8. Hail Mary

9. R. And we pray that Pope Francis will help us.

10. Hail Mary

Sing: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria, Ave, Ave, Ave Maria

 

The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God

R. And we pray that the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign in the hearts of men. We pray for - Jesus is the King and Center of all hearts. We pray, dear God, that this world will be a world of peace, rooted in You.

1. R. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it it is heaven.

2. R. Cast the devil far away from this place, from every person on this place, spread the Blood of Jesus, ask for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit, consecrate the hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

3. Hail Mary
4. Hail Mary

5. I am the Initiator. You are the soul waiting My favors Jesus says.

6. Jesus: I am the Initiator. You are the soul waiting My favors.

7. Jesus: I am the Initiator. You are the soul waiting My favors.

8. Hail Mary

9. Jesus speaks and He says I love you, I love you, I love you, My child. Will you listen to Me? I am knocking on your door. Answer My call.

10. Sing: Be Not Afraid

 

The Transfiguration

R. And He took them up to Mt. Tabor and He showed them Himself transfigured.

1. Hail Mary

2. R. God has called us to die to those ways not likened to Him, that we will rise to be more and more, in the image and likeness of God.

3. Hail Mary
4. Hail Mary

5. R. God help us in everything that we do, that we will be able to ward off the evil one, and to just stay focused and to move ahead ardently.

6. Hail Mary
7. Hail Mary
8. Hail Mary

9. And Mary says that Jesus is giving great graces of healing now.

10. Hail Mary

 

The Institution of the Eucharist

1. R. God help us to spread these books centered in the love of Jesus in the Eucharist.

2. Sing: A Song from Jesus

3. R. Please intercede for us, Mary, to God.

4. R. For all the special intentions, we pray.

5. Hail Mary
6. Hail Mary
7. Hail Mary
8. Hail Mary
9. Hail Mary
10. Hail Mary

Hail Holy Queen

The Memorare

R. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

And so we are going to go do the procession in a few minutes. So just, if you need a coat or something, whatever you need, just get yourself together for that. In the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Everybody have a great Christmas and let's pray for each other and stay united. And Sheila does the prayers in China almost every night, so if you can turn on and pray with them in China, there before the exposed Eucharist. Pray for this postage situation and all of our intentions. Thank you, Amen.

John 19: 25-27

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom 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.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

     

                R. Christ came and gave Himself – love is giving –

                We see Jesus and He worked the miracles –
                    He cured the sick –
                    He taught us
                    He showed us love –

                Christ is our Savior

                Song: A Song from Jesus

                R. Mary is our Spiritual Mother.
   

                R. God has a plan for us.

                God intends us to grow in the spiritual
                    life –

                Mary is a model for the poor banished
                    children of Eve.
 

Luke 1: 46-55

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

 

                Sing: Holy Is His Name

Malachi 3:1-4, 23-24

'Look, I shall send my messenger to clear a way before me. And suddenly the Lord whom you seek will come to his Temple; yes, the angel of the covenant, for whom you long, is on his way, says Yahweh Sabaoth. Who will be able to resist the day of his coming? Who will remain standing when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire, like fullers' alkali. He will take his seat as refiner and purifier; he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they can make the offering to Yahweh with uprightness. The offering of Judah and Jerusalem will then be acceptable to Yahweh as in former days, as in the years of old.

'Look, I shall send you the prophet Elijah before the great and awesome Day of Yahweh comes. He will reconcile parents to their children and children to their parents, to forestall my putting the country under the curse of destruction.'

 

Psalm 25:4-5,8-9,10,14

DIRECT me in your ways, Yahweh,
and teach me your paths.

ENCOURAGE me to walk in your truth and teach me
since you are the God who saves me.

INTEGRITY and generosity are marks of Yahweh
for he brings sinners back to the path.

JUDICIOUSLY he guides the humble,
instructing the poor in his way.

KINDNESS unfailing and constancy mark all Yahweh's paths,
for those who keep his covenant and his decrees.

ONLY those who fear Yahweh have his secret
and his covenant, for their understanding.

 

Luke 1: 57-66

The time came for Elizabeth to have her child, and she gave birth to a son; and when her neighbours and relations heard that the Lord had lavished on her his faithful love, they shared her joy. Now it happened that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; they were going to call him Zechariah after his father, but his mother spoke up. 'No,' she said, 'he is to be called John.' They said to her, 'But no one in your family has that name,' and made signs to his father to find out what he wanted him called. The father asked for a writing-tablet and wrote, 'His name is John.' And they were all astonished. At that instant his power of speech returned and he spoke and praised God. All their neighbours were filled with awe and the whole affair was talked about throughout the hill country of Judaea. All those who heard of it treasured it in their hearts. 'What will this child turn out to be?' they wondered. And indeed the hand of the Lord was with him.

 

                R. Jesus is our Savior

                I am strengthened by my knowledge of God –

                I am filled with joy because this is
                    reality –

                Dear God, I thank You for Your gifts
                    to me

                I praise You God, day long, my
                    soul is filled by Thee –

                Dear God increase our faith, hope and
                    love –

                At this feast help us to grow spiritually
                    as never before

                And He came, the Savior, and He showed
                    us His love –

                Our children now walk in His Light
                    for He has strengthened us and
                    sent us on our journey to embrace
                    Him - ever more fully –

                I looked at the sky and I saw the great
                    openness and
                    I saw the ocean and I saw its
                    wideness and
                I knew more the wonders of my God –

                I believe in the seen and unseen
                    because He has given me the
                    grace to know Him ever more
                    deeply –

   

"Prepare in the wilderness a highway for the Lord"  Mark 1:3

 

                R. In the world I can focus on His message
                    to Fr. Carter to pray these prayers,
                    I can see my beloved God in
                    images before me as the Most
                    Loving Sacred Heart and

                I adore Him, I thank Him and I love Him
                and seek to return to Him my faithfulness
                with my life - given –

                What a gift to live –

                God has taught us the meaning of life –
                God has taught us the meaning of love –
                God has taught us about gratitude –

                We are indeed grateful for His love.
   

                Jesus is our Savior      
 

                Jesus: Rise up Jerusalem –

                I give you a blanket of My warmth.

                I give you eyes to see with clarity –
                    open your eyes My people –
                    the day of reality is at hand –
                    you lavish not in veiled vision –
                    your heart beats joyfully for you
                        embrace more clearly the vision
                        of your God!

                R. I was tense, I was tight, I felt the
                    tension in my own body, that blinded
                    me and made me fear –
                    I begged the Holy Spirit – help me to let go to God –
                    Release me of my own inflicted resistance –
                    to just purely let go more and more to You –

                I felt a wash, as if I was set free, free
                    of the tightness that surrounded me,
                    my own body's resistance and wondered
                    for all these years – why I lived in
                    such an anxious embrace –

                Every day the sun went down and the
                    darkness came and

                The next day the sun came up and low
                    and behold - the light –

                God did this for me and I did nothing –

                I breathed full and clear and realized
                how close indeed He was – in my every
                breath He gave me life – I felt
                life now surge through my tense body
                and knew the spiritual reality of
                God so close to me – guarding me –
                loving me – watching over me –
                And I heard Him say –

                    Let go - release, like a child
                suckled on their mother's breast and
                wrapped in the beauty of a blanket of
                love – swaddled in that embrace of
                comforting my anxious body –

                Wrap me Holy Spirit in a blanket of love –

                Let my control and resistance drop
                    around me – like one dropping
                    a cape - to the ground –

                Let me come out of the tomb with
                    more and more life in You –
                    wrapped in the freedom of beauty –
                    clothed by God's grace –
                    glistening as a new born babe
                    ready to embrace life with the
                    assurance of God's tender
                    hand always around me and
                    leading me – like a child who
                    walks away with the eye on
                    their children –

                Freedom is found in God –
                Freedom is found in letting go –
                Freedom is found in reaching beyond the
                    seen – to the unseen and knowing
                    His constant embrace and
                    loving guidance with me always –

                Clouds are puffy and soft, I do
                    believe –

                Stones are hard like rocks –

                Let my heart be soft and supple
                    ready to be filled by Him –
                    Loving and pure, puffy and plump –
                    like the healthiest of all
                    hearts in the spiritual life –
                    FULL of His LIFE in me –

                Did you see the stiff jaws and the tight faces –
                    Did you receive the Eucharist –
                        Eat His Body, drink His Blood and
                        feel the wash of that warm
                        embrace – even tingling the
                        toes from the presence of
                        the Divine, Almighty God –

                Fools we are – Fools to hold onto what
                    a senseless man has to offer when he
                    leaves out God and counts on himself.

                Look at Eve in the Garden – she wanted
                    to be equal to God –
                    She disobeyed Him –
                    She thought she was so smart –

                Oh God, let us know Your presence with
                    us always –

                The warmth of Your love, God –

                Let us walk in surrendering love and
                    gratitude to You and
                    seek to be under You –
                    filled by You –
                    never apart from You –

                In this we are confident and strengthened
                    as we are filled more and more by God –

                Embraced by His loving arm –

                Permeated with His grace, His life in
                    us filling us –

                I am Yours – Lord

                I come to do Your will –

                It is in the simple things of life –
                    We know His strength in all we do –

                We let go to Him –

                He is Almighty –

                We are the soul, waiting His favor –

                The beauty of a rose –
                The vast sky –
                The wide ocean –
                The love of children, little ones,
                The deep love of friendship –

                These are everlasting – the love
                    of friends –

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change...
Courage to change the things I can
and Wisdom to know the difference.

  

                R. I look to the heavens –

                From there comes my help –

                My life is in Him!!
 

Genesis 12: 1-7

Yahweh said to Abram, ‘Leave your country, your kindred and your father’s house for a country which I shall show you; and I shall make you a great nation, I shall bless you and make your name famous; you are to be a blessing!

    I shall bless those who bless you, 
    and shall curse those who curse you, 
    and all clans on earth 
    will bless themselves by you.’ 

    So Abram went as Yahweh told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy–five years old when he left Haran. Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had amassed and the people they had acquired in Haran. They set off for the land of Canaan, and arrived there.

    Abram passed through the country as far as the holy place at Shechem, the Oak of Moreh. The Canaanites were in the country at the time. Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, ‘I shall give this country to your progeny.’ And there, Abram built an altar to Yahweh who had appeared to him.

 

                R. Praise God –

                Praise Him with the trumpet –

                Be attentive to God who is
                    close in our every breath –

                Breathe in Jesus –
                Breathe out fear
                Breathe in Jesus
                Breathe out fear

                Let the eyes see the care He gives
                    to the flowers and
                    ask ourselves – are not we
                    far more precious than the flowers?

                Do we see the genealogy and know
                    how God has a Plan in
                    salvation history in our
                    lives – why do we ignore
                    such a calling –

                Jesus: Rise up Jerusalem –

                Your time has come –

                Open your eyes to the Lord and
                Quit, I beg you, burying your head in the sand.

                Why do you worship the rocks and
                Ignore your Creator –

                Why do you bury your head in the
                    sand, Jerusalem –

                Raise your eyes to the heavens and see
                    the sky by day, the star-studded
                    sky by night –

                Oh Jerusalem, you are blinded and
                    reach for the earthy –
                    Come to the mountain top and
                        see the city that is sleeping
                        in darkness –
                    Pray, Jerusalem, Pray for your
                        ancestors to pray with you –
                        pray for a new day of brightness and light
                        among the people walking in darkness –
 


 

                Jesus: Oh have you ever seen such a sky –

                Who painted it for your eyes and
                It goes by unnoticed by he who has
                    his head in the sand –

                Wipe the silly grin off your face –
                    Jerusalem – your time is coming –
                    to be serious about your God –

                Wake from your sleep –

                Pray the Holy Spirit comes to your heart and
                    gives you grace to be transformed
                    more and more in My image
                    and likeness
   

 

 

Through Him, With Him, In Him
 

           From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.       

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

                Jesus: Rise up Jerusalem –

                You are tight like a clock wound
                    to the point of breaking –

                God is your Master –

                God is Mighty

                Do not ignore God –

                Never

                R. In God lies my strength –
                    I am confident and unafraid.
 

Luke 1: 26-38

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?’ The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God. And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God.’ Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her.

                Song: A Song from Jesus

 

John 1: 14

The Word became flesh,
he lived among us,
and we saw his glory,
the glory that he has from the Father
   as only Son of the Father,
full of grace and truth.

   

Isaiah 7: 10-14

Yahweh spoke to Ahaz again and said: 

Ask Yahweh your God for a sign, 
either in the depths of Sheol 
    or in the heights above. 

    But Ahaz said, ‘I will not ask. I will not put Yahweh to the test.’
    He then said: 

    Listen now, House of David: 
    are you not satisfied 
        with trying human patience 
    that you should try 
        my God’s patience too? 
    The Lord will give you a sign in any case: 
    It is this: the young woman is with child 
    and will give birth to a son 
    whom she will call Immanuel.

 

                Jesus: Why do you weary your God
                    for your own stupidity –
                    You ignore God and listen to satan –
                    Close the door on satan and open
                    the door to Me.
   


 

Song of Songs 2: 8-14

I hear my love. 
See how he comes 
leaping on the mountains, 
bounding over the hills. 
My love is like a gazelle, 
like a young stag. 

See where he stands 
behind our wall. 
He looks in at the window, 
he peers through the opening. 

My love lifts up his voice, 
he says to me, 
‘Come then, my beloved, 
my lovely one, come.
For see, winter is past,
the rains are over and gone.

‘Flowers are appearing on the earth.
The season of glad songs has come,
the cooing of the turtledove is heard in our land.
The fig tree is forming its first figs 
and the blossoming vines give out their fragrance. 
Come then, my beloved, 
my lovely one, come.

‘My dove, hiding in the clefts of the rock,
in the coverts of the cliff,
show me your face,
let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet
and your face is lovely.’

   

                Jesus: Reach, oh daughter of Zion,
                    your day has come –
                    throw away your polluted rags –
                    what waits you is the
                    golden cloth you can obtain
                        from heaven –

                Seek the heavenly reward –

                Throw off the dark rags that
                    you once thought were so
                    beautiful

   
 
Can't you see - your vision
    is impaired

Take off your glasses –

                God is in charge –

                Don't be afraid –

                R. Seek God and He will be found –

                Seek God and live to know Him more and
                    more –
                    Pray to the Holy Spirit
   


 
 

                R. Seek and believe in what God has
                    told you –

                Why do you hold onto dark debris
                    clogging your heart –

                God is with you –

                Embrace Him –

                Put away fear –

                Seek the morning of gladness –

                Today is the day to love –

                Reach with the Heart of Jesus –

                Song: Give me Your Heart oh Jesus –

 

Isaiah 12: 2

Look, he is the God of my salvation:
I shall have faith and not be afraid,
for Yahweh is my strength and my song,
he has been my salvation.’

     

                R. Holy Mary, Spotless Virgin we
                    love you

 

                Excerpt from October 5, 2014

                Mary: I loved God in my life as a little
                    child of my Father, the Mother of
                    Jesus and the Spouse of the Holy Spirit –

                I am the singular vessel –

                I show you my Immaculate Heart –

                You, as handmaids of Jesus, are to live
                    your life to be pure in heart –

                I am Mary, the Immaculate Heart –

                I give you my heart to come and dwell
                    in my heart, your spiritual womb –
                    I am your spiritual Mother –

                You are not alone –

                I want you to be united to me –

                I give you my love as your spiritual Mother,
                    I want you to pray through my powerful
                    intercession.

                I appeared to you October 2, 2014 to teach you
                    about intercession through My Immaculate
                    Heart.

                R. Mary appeared to me October 2, 2014 in
                    magnificent light and her beauty was
                    unmeasured in her faces she showed
                    me. There was a silence as I watched the vision –
                    a silence, so still in the vision, but the
                    handmaids and another person prayed the rosary
                    outside the apparition room in one voice –
                    it sounded very unified and strong
                    and sincere, but in her vision I
                    know a profound stillness as I
                    watched Mary in such enormous
                    light, pray, her mouth moving so
                    distinctly, so pronounced with them as
                    they prayed. I continued to watch this
                    for the first two decades of the rosary,
                    for apparitions seem to leave me
                    weak sometimes and then I am
                    wrapped in that peace of having
                    seen her and left listless or tired.
                    She prayed pronounced with them and
                    it looked as if in great unity with
                    them. Unity is the word I knew –
                    Unity and sincerity in their prayers
                    and unity of the Mother of God appearing
                    before me in such beauty and light –
                    praying in unity with them, but there
                    was only stillness in the apparition –
                    no noise.

                        I have an apostle rosary I place on
                    the Mary statue in the apparition
                    room and when I pray the rosary
                    or lead the rosary in the room
                    I hold that rosary many times – I lead
                    the beginning of every bead only with
                    Hail Mary and they say all the rest of
                    the prayer. It is a profound unity in
                    one voice I hear when they are
                    out there many times, sometimes I
                    feel the sound is the sound of unity
                    I hear that is joined by what God
                    is allowing me to hear, the songs I
                    lead are very united in perfect
                    voice and very angelic. The voices
                    perfectly synchronized and heavenly
                    sounding and there is absolute
                    stillness in the vision.

                        On October 2nd as they prayed and I
                    heard this unity from those outside the
                    apparition room – I saw the same
                    way visions of Mary change for the
                    20 years she has appeared to me –
                    Stillness and her beautiful face changes
                    from different faces without a noise,
                    so smooth as when the Monstrance
                    in China has changed positions –
                    it turns without a noise, without
                    any seeing it turn, it is in motion
                    without detectable motion of it
                    turning.

                        Mary was like this in the vision –
                    surrounded in light and the faces
                    of the Virgin different as her faces
                    changed, one more beautiful and
                    different than the other – so beautiful
                    and a profound response of her
                    answering or praying with the
                    prayers united outside the room –
                    in stillness of her response inside –
                    I have never seen this before – it was
                    at a certain point and made clear
                    to me – she held an invisible rosary
                    and her fingers were going from bead to bead
                    as she prayed with them.

                        I watched this vision for as long as I
                    could, then I was left weak and
                    sort of limp, hearing the praying outside
                    and continuing to just bath in a
                    quiet presence.

                        I was not focused on Jesus, but to
                    the left I saw light and knew His
                    presence in there likewise, Mary's
                    apparition was the focus and she was
                    giving this gift to us in the first day of
                    retreat. Many times I receive an
                    apparition of Mary on the 2nd
                    of the month and sometimes the 3rd
                    too, many times the 5th. It is not unusual
                    for me to see Mary on the 2nd.
                    This date to me, reminds me of the Two Hearts,
                    of Jesus and Mary and the calling
                    I receive to come do the retreat
                    the 2nd to the 5th in the Clearwater
                    building.

                        As I watched Mary pray more profoundly
                    than I ever saw with those outside and
                    heard such profound unity in their
                    prayers, although Mary looked in
                    complete unity with them, I wondered
                    if she would say

                        Hail Mary – to herself
                        Holy Mary – praying this –

                    I have wondered this before –

                    The next day I was told of Mary's powerful
                    intercession, when we pray and ask her
                    to intercede for us to God –

                        Mary, the Mother of God –
                        Mary, the pure and Immaculate Heart –
                        Mary, our Mother,

                    Intercedes to God, Our Heavenly Father,
                        Jesus, the Son of God and her
                        Spouse the Holy Spirit.

                    In this place heaven showed me –
                        how powerfully Mary prays as
                        an intercessor –
                        the perfect prayer –
                        the pure prayer –
                        a heavenly prayer of intercession
                            to her Son Jesus as we
                            know and were shown the
                            prayer of Mary to her Son at
                            the Marriage of Cana –

                To you, as a messenger, I account this
                experience - for never will I have such
                an understanding of Mary's powerful
                intercession as I have now from
                this vision.

Galatians 4: 4-7

but when the completion of the time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born a subject of the Law, to redeem the subjects of the Law, so that we could receive adoption as sons. As you are sons, God has sent into our hearts the Spirit of his Son crying, ‘Abba, Father’; and so you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir, by God’s own act. 

 

 

Luke 2: 15-19

Now it happened that when the angels had gone from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, 'Let us go to Bethlehem and see this event which the Lord has made known to us.' So they hurried away and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. When they saw the child they repeated what they had been told about him, and everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds said to them. As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart.
