Prayer for Grace for our Country

Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our old president as he leaves office and our new president as he takes office.

December 25, 2016 - Christmas Day

R. God gives us a sharing in His
life in baptism.

                    Our life is guided not by ourselves –
                God is Divine – God gives us
                His light – We depend on God –
                We are under God – We must
                seek eternal life in heaven –

                    God is the source of happiness –
                how empty a man feels to
                seek happiness and leave God
                out of His quest for happiness.

In God we live, move and
have our being –

                    God created man to love each other.
                God created Adam and He said that
                Adam needed to have a companion.

                    God wants us to be one with
                Him – to know we can be more and
                more one with Him and seek this oneness –

                    God has made man in
                the image of Himself – He
                is infinite – We cannot measure
                how God gives love to us –
                How God has given and given
                to us our whole life –

                    We have a free will –
                We can control our actions –
                We are to control our action and
                do God's will.

Genesis 1: 26-27

     God said, ‘Let us make man in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals and all the creatures that creep along the ground.’

    God created man in the image of himself,
    in the image of God he created him,
    male and female he created them.

                R. In the deepest recesses of our
                hearts we know more and more
                the love of God. We stay connected
                in love with God and others in
                our hearts. God wants us to grow
                in virtue. We can believe in greater
                faith the seen and unseen, the reality
                as it really is. We go to God for this –
                Dear God help us to see reality as it
                really is – to be deeply united to You,
                to live in the truth – open up to
                us more and more the supernatural
                world.

                Dear God help us to deeply dwell in
                our hearts. Come to me Lord and
                possess my soul. We live in hope
                of eternal salvation, we want others
                to know God and we hope for their
                salvation. We have the capacity to
                love on a supernatural level from
                baptism. Baptism opens up the
                super-natural world to us. We
                have a capacity to know and love
                on an elevated level because
                of baptism – we can perform
                God-like acts.

                    God is Divine, man is human –
                God gives us a sharing in His life
                through baptism – Jesus is a Divine Person
                with two natures, a human nature
                and a Divine Nature.

                    Jesus paid a precious price
                for our sins. Our human
                nature is wounded because
                of original sin. Baptism takes
                away original sin, but its
                effects of a wounded human
                nature remain –

                    Our life is to be lived in
                greater perfection – it is the
                Plan of God – that we die to the ways
                that are not like Him and rise to
                new life in Him.

                    God wants to lift us up. The
                first Blue Book was teachings
                to Lift us up.

R. The first message in it
Jesus gave me was this.

Cling to Me

May 13, 1993

Jesus: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.

    You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.

    When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.

    I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.

    I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.

end of May 13, 1993

                R. I dictated to my child after we
                went to Conyers. There was darkness
                and rain – a terrible storm
                and when we finally got in the
                car – she wrote the message
                as I dictated it –

In the hand of a child.

The sun pulsated all the way
home from Georgia to Ohio.

                    The Blue Book I went between
                that date and December 31, 1993.
                I met Fr. Carter in March, 1994 and
                he said I was a genuine
                locutionist – he believed –
                Fr. Carter was discerning the Blue Book
                already – given to him by another
                man for publication.

                    Fr. Carter began to be my spiritual director
                because he told me he would be
                if I wanted him to be.

I wrote this Morning Offering
June 8, 1995.

Morning Offering

My dear Father, I offer You this day all my prayers, works, joys and sufferings, my every breath, my every heartbeat, my every thought, all my actions, in union with Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in the Holy Spirit. I pray the Holy Spirit is with me every second today, enlightening me to do the Will of the Father and filling me with the fire of God's love.

I ask Jesus and Mary to be one in me in all that I do and I unite with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory to pray continually to the Father for these intercessions, in this prayer, for this day.

For myself, I pray for grace-abundant grace, to know and love God more and more and to follow the Will of the Father. I pray to the Holy Spirit to transform me in the heart of Mary to be more and more like Jesus. I pray that I can forever dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I pray for conversion of all those I hold dear who need conversion. I pray for each member of my family that they will be filled with Your abundant grace to grow in their knowledge and love of God.

I pray for all my friends that they will receive abundant grace to carry out the great plan of the Father, that they will grow forever closer to Jesus' Heart through Mary's heart, that we will all be led by the Holy Spirit to do His work, that we will, together, carry out the plan of the Father as He intends us to, to spread the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary's heart to this world.

Jesus, I pray for myself so the Holy Spirit descends upon me and opens my heart to Your love so I will grow more and more deeply in union with You. I pray that I do not worry what other people think but try always to please the Father and do His Will. I pray that I may help lead many to Your burning love.

I pray for the following people in particular that they will be filled with the Spirit and grow deeply in their union with You, that they will receive abundant graces to know, love and serve You more. (Include special friends by name...)

I pray for priests the world over, for the success of the Priestly Newsletter, the Chapters and for the finances needed for the Newsletter. I pray for the circulation of the Blue Book messages, rosary meditations and tapes. I pray for all those involved in the publication of these messages.

I pray that You will shower Your abundant graces onto the priests reading the Newsletter the people reading and hearing the Blue Book messages and rosary meditations and all of Fr. Carter's publications.

We pray for the intentions we hold deep within our hearts, for our families and friends, for those requesting our prayers. We pray for children the world over and for the souls in purgatory. We ask God to shower His abundant grace on us and the members of our Shepherds of Christ Chapter so that we may grow more and more in our knowledge and love of God.

We consecrate ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We pray for Father Carter, for Father Smith, for Rita Ring, and for John Weickert, for all leaders and helpers in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, for Shepherds of Christ Ministries, and Our Lady of Light Ministry. We pray for all those who are working in these ministries.

We bind ourselves and our children and our friends to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We place the precious blood of Jesus on ourselves, and all we touch, so that we will be protected from the evil one. We pray to St. Michael to cast the devil into hell.

We love You, God, we love You, we love You. We beg that we may receive the grace to love You more and more deeply. We adore You, we praise You, our beloved Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Tobit 4: 15-16, 18-19

Do to no one what you would not want done to you. Do not drink wine to the point of drunkenness; do not let excess be your travelling companion.

‘Give your bread to those who are hungry, and your clothes to those who lack clothing. Of whatever you own in plenty, devote a proportion to almsgiving; and when you give alms, do it ungrudgingly.

‘Ask advice of every wise person; never scorn any profitable advice. Bless the Lord God in everything; beg him to guide your ways and bring your paths and purposes to their end. For wisdom is not the property of every nation; their desire for what is good is conferred by the Lord. At his will he lifts up or he casts down to the depths of the dwelling of the dead. So now, my child, remember these precepts and never let them fade from your heart.

R. Teach us God Your ways –

                You are the Initiator, I am

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

                R. God is light and in Him
                    is no darkness.

Psalm 36: 2-12

He sees himself with too flattering an eye
    to detect and detest his guilt;
all he says is malicious and deceitful,
    he has turned his back on wisdom.

To get his way he hatches malicious plots
    even in his bed;
once set on his evil course
    no wickedness is too much for him.

Yahweh, your faithful love is in the heavens,
your constancy reaches to the clouds,
your saving justice is like towering mountains,
your judgements like the mighty deep.

Yahweh, you support both man and beast;
how precious, God, is your faithful love.
So the children of Adam
take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

They feast on the bounty of your house,
you let them drink from your delicious streams;
in you is the source of life,
by your light we see the light.

Maintain your faithful love to those who acknowledge you,
and your saving justice to the honest of heart.
Do not let the foot of the arrogant overtake me
or wicked hands drive me away.

There they have fallen, the evil–doers,
flung down, never to rise again.

Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.

His Burning Heart

R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.

I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these letters—to draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:

"Open your heart to the fire of God's love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love."

                R. Flying is a great gift to us, that we
                can come from one place far away and
                go to another place, very quickly. We
                cannot fly ourselves and yet we can get
                on a plane and fly. We have limits
                what we can do. We can jump in a body
                of water and we can float in the
                water, like that, but we cannot do that
                in the air. We know we cannot do certain
                things. A man can jump from a plane
                in the air, but he needs a parachute
                to help him float in the air or he would
                get hurt, just jumping in the air, but
                a scuba diver can jump and float in
                the water, but if he stays too long
                he must use oxygen and take that
                and other precautions. A man can
                drive up a mountain and ski down
                the mountain, but he just can't
                jump out in the air. We have to
                observe certain things we can and
                cannot do. Flying in the air we just
                can't do without some equipment.
                Birds fly by nature – they have wings
                and fish swim in the water. Fish
                belong in the water, by nature.

                    God the Father created these and
                God the Father has a plan for us.
                In the apex of creation we see man
                is above the fish and the birds.
                Fish and birds can do things we
                don't do, but we have the capability
                of talking and making decisions and
                God created us this way. We have a
                human nature. We were created by God
                with a human nature.

                R. God is the Creator –
                    God is absolute perfection –
                    God has the plan –

                This is one of my favorite writings of
                    Fr. Carter's because he addresses
                    mystery -- and God is the ultimate
                    mystery –

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    ... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.

end of excerpt

                R. We see such beauty given to us in
                creation – We see our United States in
                such beauty – the rolling hills of green,
                the mountains with snow, the beauty
                of the waters, the oceans and lakes,
                we see the wonders of this earth. We
                know the beauty of a child being formed
                in a mother's womb and how God
                cares for us and all the animals and
                birds of the air, the fish of the sea.
                We see and we believe in God who
                is above us and who keeps our
                heart beating today and gives us
                life.

The Father's Will for Us - Our Source of Peace

Pope John Paul II instructs us: "The Church, as a reconciled and reconciling community, cannot forget that at the source of her gift and mission of reconciliation is the initiative, full of compassionate love and mercy, of that God who is love (see 1 John 4:8) and who out of love created human beings (see Wisdom 11:23-26; Genesis 1:27: Psalms 8:4-8)…He created them so that they might live in friendship with Him and in communion with one another.

"God is faithful to His eternal plan even when man, under the impulse of the evil one (see Wisdom 2:24) and carried away by his own pride, abuses the freedom given to him in order to love and generously seek what is good, and (instead) refuses to obey his Lord and Father. God is faithful even when man, instead of responding with love to God’s love, opposes Him and treats Him like a rival, deluding himself and relying on his own power, with the resulting break of relationship with the One who created him. In spite of this transgression on man’s part, God remains faithful in love.

"It is certainly true that the story of the Garden of Eden makes us think about the tragic consequences of rejecting the Father, which becomes evident in man’s inner disorder and in the breakdown of harmony between man and woman, brother and brother (see Genesis 3:12 ff; 4:1-16). Also significant is the Gospel parable of the two brothers (the parable of the ‘prodigal son’; see Luke 15:11-32) who, in different ways, distance themselves from their father and cause a rift between them. Refusal of God’s fatherly love and of His loving gifts is always at the root of humanity’s divisions.

"But we know that God…like the father in the parable (of the prodigal son), does not close His heart to any of His children. He waits for them, looks for them, goes to meet them at the place where the refusal of communion imprisons them in isolation and division. He calls them to gather about His table in the joy of the feast of forgiveness and reconciliation.

"This initiative on God’s part is made concrete and manifest in the redemptive act of Christ, which radiates through the world by means of the ministry of the Church." ¹³

                R. Do you love to hear the rain when
                it comes and it hits the roof and
                waters the flowers and the earth
                and is much needed. Do you love to see
                the little one with little thoughts and
                imaginative games and making a
                puzzle or just learning games or
                playing with the simplest things in
                what is now, it seems to me, such
                a complicated, chaotic world.

                    Do we watch beauty such as these
                listed above and then see men fight
                the basic principles of justice and
                prudence and love for selfishness
                and jealousies and pride and anger
                and other ugliness, such as hatred
                and destruction, stubbornness and
                malice against innocent others for
                one's own anger and darkness.

                    Where does this take us – when the command
                of the Creator of us is this – it is to love
                and we have been commanded to do so
                and told how much God loves us –

Mark 12: 28-34

One of the scribes who had listened to them debating appreciated that Jesus had given a good answer and put a further question to him, ‘Which is the first of all the commandments? Jesus replied, ‘This is the first: Listen, Israel, the Lord our God is the one, only Lord, and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: You must love your neighbour as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these. The scribe said to him, ‘Well spoken, Master; what you have said is true, that he is one and there is no other. To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and strength, and to love your neighbour as yourself, this is far more important than any burnt offering or sacrifice. Jesus, seeing how wisely he had spoken, said, ‘You are not far from the kingdom of God.’ And after that no one dared to question him any more.

Cling to Me

May 13, 1993

Jesus: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.

    You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.

    When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.

    I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.

    I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.

Seek True Treasures

February 17, 1994 5:30 a.m.

Jesus: My little ones, how are you doing? Are you getting bogged down in this weather? Do you know yet that you do not control the elements? You live every day and you think you have much to do to control your actions but you do not see the eyes of Him Who watches over you with loving care.

I give to you this earth and all you need to sustain your life here. Man worries about the earth and if this or that will happen. Man has become so independent that he thinks he controls all things and he needs to worry about his present and future.

You, My favored, chosen ones, know that life here lasts but a moment and like smoke it is gone without a trace. Look at your ancestors. So few people ever remember their ancestors, yet your ancestors thought that at every moment their actions were so crucial. Little ones, you hold on to life. You hold on to these little happenings here and you worry in vain! Look at the big picture, My little ones. Here today, gone tomorrow, and where are you going?

The days go by with such speed. "Oh," you say, "Where have the years gone?" You think every second is so important. You worry, you fret, you wander empty roads and I watch you. I see you with your emphasis on the moment. You are being deceived, My little ones. It is in seeing the moment as part of eternity that you really know what is going on. Each moment you live, you are the teacher about the God Who dwells in your breast. Each moment you live, you are My messenger to this cold, scared world. Nothing you do means anything except as you are serving Me.

Take off your glasses. Behold the life above. See every moment as a drop of the life to come. See every moment as part of eternity. All these drops together make up your pass into My kingdom.

You worry, you wonder, you fret, you hold on. I give you a toothache, I take it away. One second and a toothache is gone. Is that not how it is with life--one second and it is gone? Oh, how those little precious moments seem to die away and you scarce can remember what happened! Yet during people's lives those moments seem earth-shattering. Those moments are yesterday's forgotten memories. You hold on, you fret, you fume and I watch you let go of each moment, only to become forgotten by today.

Store up your moments as part of eternity. Every moment here is part of your pass to My kingdom. How are you living this moment? Is it used to give service to Me and preach My gospel? Are you making all your moments count towards your eternity? Each moment is but a breath and it is gone. Did you use the moment I gave you to do My work? This time is not yours. I can snatch your moments away in one breath. It matters, My children, only as you choose to serve Me and spread My love!

If everyone had God as their primary goal, what love you would possess. What power you would know, because God is the mightiest force. I have all the power. Other power is false power!

Do you get it yet? Do you think anything you hold on to is so precious here? Here today, gone tomorrow, and I snatch you from your seats and you never return to finish what you deemed so important.

Are you comprehending My words here? The body is but an instrument to get you around. Reach with the spirit within. Live from the soul. Communicate with Me in your soul. Look for the unseen world that surrounds you constantly. Die to yourself.

You have a soul at this very moment that is a vibrant spiritual force alive within you. Live from your soul, My little ones. Focus on your soul. Live from your heart. Do not fret and fume for the things of this world. Here today, gone tomorrow, and then forgotten. Today's moments, yesterday's forgotten treasures. Do they mean so much or do you forget what seemed so important?

Reach with the soul. Live for God. Each moment is your chance to store up treasures for eternity. They will never be forgotten. What you do to help others to know Me will never be forgotten. How you loved will never be forgotten. How you gave lives on in those you touched. Your love is like a bubbling brook. It bubbles and keeps on bubbling. Your selfishness dies the moment after you live it.

Love is the force. Love is the power that reflects the God above. Love is not selfish. Love does not demand its own way. Love gives and doesn't stop giving. On the day of judgment it will be found in the hearts of those you touched. Think of only yourself and watch your moments become yesterday's forgotten moments. Love your brothers and watch the world reflect the love you gave, from now to the end.

Love or selfishness? I call you to love. I call you to plant a seed that grows into a mighty oak. Plant My seeds of love. Ask not how you can attain your goal but how you can fulfill the goal of God. Love God, love one another. Too simple, too hard for many.

Love, children. Reflect the God Who dwells within your soul. Store up your moments forever lest they become yesterday's forgotten treasure.

Like ripples on a pond, your love never dies. It reaches on and on and goes into the moments of eternity. Love is lasting. Love never dies. Love God, love one another. Die to yourself and live.

R. To much that has been given, much
will be expected.

An attitude of Gratitude

A heart likened to Jesus

Song: Give Me Your Heart oh Jesus

R. God has shown us His love –

Song: A Song from Jesus

                R. What ways have we, through our free
                wills, used to dress our thoughts –
                have we dressed our thoughts in beauty
                and purity to come to the wedding banquet
                God has prepared for us?

                    Do we see our gifts given, as in the
                Church in China to have the Exposed
                Eucharist – Jesus truly present in His
                Divinity and humanity in the Eucharist.

                    Do we ponder the will of God and
                turn our hearts to the light by pure
                and loving thoughts of God and others,
                praying for right reasoning to have a
                heart more like Jesus.

Do we seek the truth because God is
absolute truth?

                    We have a free will to act in anger
                toward innocent others and to hold onto
                anger projected and directed at others
                because we use the gift of the free will
                God has given us, to think thoughts of
                blaming and hatred, for our own deep
                seated anger that becomes us – when
                God has called us to love – to have
                thoughts about how great He is
                and how much He has blessed us –
                in the United States, in our vocation,
                in our gifts with each others.

                    The heart may grow sad at not
                being with one they love, but they love
                them, they do not try to destroy the love
                they have for them, by punishment
                for the separation. They are loyal to love,
                they want hearts of peace and joy.

I remember Fr. Joe giving a daily morning
homily on anger.

                    He said anger against our neighbor,
                that we nurse, is wrong. He said that
                people who were abused can hold onto
                anger and nurse it and how wrong
                it is. That a person, tempted in anger,
                is to pray for help from God to let
                go of it. But a person, settled in on
                anger and wanting it – is not a
                loving person – how can they love
                God and treat their brothers with
                love, when they harbor and nurse
                resentment and anger as a way of life,
                when God commands us to love Him
                with our whole heart, our whole soul
                and our whole being and love our
                neighbor as ourselves. Our free will
                is all about choosing charity and
                loving as God wants us to be –
                God is love –

                Consecrating our hearts to the Hearts
                of Jesus and Mary mean consecrating
                our hearts to the Hearts of perfect love.

                The devil comes to try to steal our peace
                    and get us focused on something
                    that will tear down a bridge
                    that God wants us to build.

                The devil never stops – he tries to
                    tear down whatever he can get away
                    with.

                I remember a song I used to play on the
                organ "For the beauty of the Earth"
                Isn't it such a gift we have what
                God has given us in baptism that
                we share in His life, share in
                His Divine life and our
                knowing and loving capacity is
                elevated so we can know and
                love supernaturally, but that
                takes God –

                    When satan comes and tempts
                us to hold onto anger because we
                are angry inside ourselves – we
                have to pray like Fr. Joe said to not have
                a weak will and give into satan's
                temptations.

                    Love is love – like the invisible
                string – it is constant and the love
                of God for whom we love – overflows
                in our hearts to gratitude for all
                His blessings to us.

                    We are people who are growing
                more and more in our image and
                likeness to God in giving Jesus
                and Mary our hearts in consecration.
                This is the Mission of the Shepherds of
                Christ to spread the love of these Two
                Hearts through consecration to the world.

Scriptural Reflections

In all this Mary offers an example. Selfishness was totally foreign to her. She did not belong to herself. She belonged to God. She was not closed in upon herself. She was completely open to God. When God spoke, she listened. When God pointed the way, she followed. She realized that life is not a process a person masters by carefully mapping out one's own self-conceived plans of conquest, but a mystery to be gradually experienced by being open to God's personal and loving guidance.

Selfishness, then, did not close Mary off from God's call. Neither did fear. God asked her to assume a tremendous responsibility. He asked her to be the Mother of Jesus. Mary did not engage in a process of false humility and say that such a great role was above her. She did not say that she did not have the proper qualifications for this awesome mission. Briefly, she did not waste time looking at herself, making pleas that she was not worthy, telling the angel he had better go look for someone else. No, Mary did not look at herself. Her gaze was absorbed in God. She fully realized that whatever God asked of her, His grace would accomplish. She fully realized that although she herself had to cooperate, this work was much more God's than hers.

Mary's words, then, truly sum up what is the authentic Christian response at any point of life, in any kind of situation: "I am the handmaid of the Lord," said Mary, "let what you have said be done to me".

                R. The priests we have in this Movement,
                    Fr. Carter, Fr. Joe, Fr. Mike have
                    taught us through their lives
                    about love and peace.

                The priests: Monsignor and Fr. Ken who
                    help us in Florida and China: Fr. Frank,
                    Fr. Don, Fr. Cyprian, Fr. Shawn, Fr. Allen,
                    Fr. Jerry, Fr. Bill, Fr. Chris and all our
                    priests that help us, have shown us
                    true love in how they help
                    us and conduct themselves.

Love builds!

God is love –

Anger is a deadly sin!

Jealousy is a deadly sin!

Envy and pride are deadly sins!

We are so loved.

God has loved us into existence.

                We need to pray in this retreat for
                    the country we love the United
                    States and pray with a pure and
                    holy heart for the priests,
                    the Church and the world.

Love is constant –

                Love doesn't exist in love and
                    hate relationships where we
                    are angry and project it on
                    others because we want to hold
                    onto anger because it is in
                    us and we hug it and nurse it
                    and project it at people who
                    love us – what do we want?

I remember Fr. Carter was so loving
to every one –

Fr. Joe is like this –

Fr. Mike helps me – he is a
real witness.

                We need to pray for our country
                    in deep oneness to Jesus –
                    Jesus prayed for His apostles –

Jesus went off to pray –

                Again the past two nights I
                    saw Our Lady pray with us –
                    through the powerful intercession
                    of Our Lady of Clearwater we pray –

We are people one with Jesus –
Consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary –

We are given such a gift in
baptism to love supernaturally –

We pray for the virtues –

                We focus on the Holy Spirit and ask Him
                    to fill us with the fire
                    of God's love –

We have been raised up in Him –

God is love –

                    full of love seeking
                    greater insight into the
                    depth of love – into the
                    mystery of God –
                    so much to see –
                        the vision of God's love –

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.

I Love You

April 13, 1994

Words of Jesus. Read before the Tabernacle.

Jesus: How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the Cross.

    Do you know I am truly present there? Do you know that God waits every day for you in the tabernacle? Do you comprehend even a minute amount of My love? You will never know of how I love you on earth.

    I, Jesus, truly the Son of God, came to earth a man and suffered a brutal death for love of you. I love you so much! I remain with you this day. I long for your love. I want you to come and be with Me in front of the tabernacle. I wait, I yearn for you to come and whisper your love to Me. I am a person and I love you this day, with such an ardent on-fire love! No human could ever compare a speck to My love for you.

    I wait, little ones, in the tabernacle. I wait for you to come and receive Me in Communion. I want you to want Me so much you cannot wait to come and receive Me. I want to be the love, the center of your life!

    I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am writing to you this day. I want to possess your very soul and live in you. I have all you need, sweet ones. Oh, you are so blind! I long for your union with Me. I wrote the book of love. I instituted it, yet you go to the world for your love and do not even come to Me! Oh, I love you, little ones. Little ones, beloved of the Father, loved by the Holy Spirit, mothered by My very own mother! What more can I say? The rest is up to you!

    I give you your will with such love and I want your love freely given. I am God. What do you think you could ever need that I do not give you? I am the Savior of this world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I am God. I have all you ever will need!

    Surrender this life to Me. Pray My Prayer for Union with Me. I want to possess your soul and operate from your very being. I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am Who am. I died and rose on the third day.

    Harken to My call, harken to My pleading. Spend your days in love with Me. Nothing matters unless it is rooted in Me and rooted in My love. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I love you with the tenderest love. I am waiting this day for just you, My beloved one. Come to Me for I am the tenderest of all hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Joyful Mysteries

Christmas Day Children's Rosary

The Annunciation

R. The Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and asked Mary to be the Mother of Jesus.

Mary always complied with the Will of the Father. She said "yes" to the angel.

She was filled with the Holy Spirit and the Word was made flesh.

Song: Come Holy Ghost…

There was such intimacy between Mary and Jesus from the first moment of conception.

She felt the life of the child Jesus grow within her womb.

It was in her womb that the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus was formed through the Holy Spirit.

It is in realizing this connection between the Hearts of Jesus and Mary that we will grow in greater union with God.

The Holy Spirit forever transforms us more and more into the image of Jesus.

The womb of the Virgin Mary is the holy dwelling place of our beloved Savior.



The Visitation

R. Mary, being pregnant herself, but hearing through the angel that Elizabeth had conceived a child in her old age, made haste to the hill country to be with her cousin Elizabeth.

When she arrived, the child in Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy.

Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit and cried out in a loud voice the Magnificat.

Mary said,
"My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Savior." (Lk 1:46,47)

"…because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed." (Lk 1:48)

"…for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name," (Lk 1:49)

Jesus is no less present this day in the Eucharist than He was in Mary's womb.

How He waits and yearns for us to come and to be with Him because He loves us so much!

If we realized how much He loves us, we would never fear.

Song: O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel, that mourns in lonely exile here, until the Son of God appears. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to you, O Israel!

Birth of Jesus

R. Think of the glorious night when Jesus was born in a stable. The angels sang and shepherds watched.

The cows and the sheep were there to keep them warm.

This is truly Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who humbled Himself to share in our humanity.

Song: Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o'er the plains. And the mountains in reply, echoing their joyous strains.

Song: Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Song: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

Song: O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

Song: What child is this who lay to rest, on Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthem sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping.

See Jesus, Mary and Joseph in the stable and see the tenderness in the eyes of Mary as she gazes on her newborn baby child, who is truly God!

The birth of Jesus is at the heart of salvation history.


    The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

R. Mary and Joseph took the child Jesus to the temple.

While they were there, the prophet Simeon prophesied the sufferings of Jesus and Mary to come.

Simeon said to Mary, "…and a sword will pierce your soul, too..." (Lk 2:35)

As he prophesied the sufferings of Jesus and Mary, he also prophesied how many souls would be saved through Jesus.

Mary gazes so tenderly on her precious child and, from this moment on, every time she looked at Jesus, she remembered the prophecy of Simeon.

She had a constant ache in her Heart since the prophecy of Simeon.

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

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.

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.

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


The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple

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.

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

"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)

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)

"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)

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

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

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.

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.

Song: O come, little children...
