Messenger:
I offer everything I do all day Jesus in
union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
I pray to be able to do my actions
according to God's will. I pray to do my
actions in love. I love you so much
Jesus and I give myself to You unreservedly
I give You my heart and my will and I ask, dear
Holy Spirit, you enlighten me to do God's will
in love and that I be protected with the
Blood of Jesus. I consecrate my heart to
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and consecrate the
hearts of all in the Shepherds of Christ and all who
touch us in any way and our families to the
Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart. I
consecrate their hearts in as far as I am
able. I cast the devil far away from us. I pray
for a special outpouring of grace dear Holy Spirit
on all of us.
I love you God with all my heart and
pray for you to speak to me now about
the Shepherds of Christ and what you desire.
Jesus speaks:
I have given to you this daily message
to live by. I am a God of justice. I
desire the people of this earth to live in
love and for you to be an example for the
people.
Living in love - united is the key.
I have given these messages so people
would know I love them so much and to teach
them how to live.
To My Shepherds of Christ servants, handmaids,
apostles and those deeply involved in running
the Movement I direct and help you in
the daily message. I want you to be
the ones doing as I desire that others
will see your light, your holiness.
Satan does not like the work you are
doing and he tempts you to be selfish,
jealous and prideful, I call you to love
I call you to serving with an attitude to
be as Mary was in serving Me.
She is the model you are to follow
she is the perfect handmaid of the Lord.
A man did a job and was very
unloving. I ask you to look at your
attitude. I want you to serve Me
with love. I want you to live this
Spousal relationship with Me. You
are helping the children in the Church
grow to greater maturity rooted in
Me.
Many are focused on the world. Many
work at their job, but do not do it
in love.
I have given you great gifts.
I ask you to be loving, to be thankful
to tell your God you are so thankful
for this calling.
I have taken you as a little baby
in the spiritual life and helped you
grow to a deeper love rooted in Me.
In all of your actions to be so deeply
connected that you show others
by your love and oneness in God
how your life is being lived to love and
serve your God.
I have called you My servants,
handmaids and apostles to daily Mass
and communion.
I have called you to pray hourly,
whenever possible, especially at all
centers, for the priests, the Church and
the world and the needs of the
Movement.
Satan is waging an all right
war to get you divided and to
have attitudes which are not loving.
One person deeply filled with love and
enthusiasm can effect every one else.
One person giving into the temptations
of satan can hurt everyone
Did you hear one bad apple can spoil
a whole bunch?
I have given My letters of love in God's
Blue Book for you to live by.
Every day you should read one message.
Every day you should write to Me of
your love for Me and read your
Blue Book message.
Remember when you feel far from Me
I have not moved from you, it is you who
have moved from Me you must
pray for grace to persevere in
your vocation as a servant and handmaid
and apostle of the Good Shepherd.
This is My Movement begun by Me and I call you to this vocation.

Jesus speaks: Do the stations
February 22, 1995
Stations of the Cross
1. Jesus Is Condemned to Death
Jesus speaks: My dear child, with angry hearts and hatred on their faces, they poked at Me and condemned Me to death. I stood so silent, My hands tied, in perfect peace, because I knew the Father's love. I knew the Father's Will. You too will stand your trials in perfect peace, the more you realize the immense love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have for you. Pray to the Spirit to transform you more and more into My image and, through this transformation, you will be led ever closer to the Father. Oh, how I love you!
2. They Give Jesus the Cross
Jesus speaks: They gave Me a heavy cross, laden with the sins of the world. They placed it on My shoulder. It was so heavy I felt as if My shoulder would break. I ask you to carry little crosses, to experience little pains. I could not remove this cross from My shoulder. The weight was unbearable. It is through My suffering and death that you receive new life. It is through your sufferings this day that you will grow in your life with Me. Oh, child, I loved you so much that I took up the cross of salvation. I love you. Please realize that I am talking to you here. To My death I loved you. Oh, how I love you!
3. Jesus Falls the First Time
Jesus speaks: The cross was so heavy I could hardly walk. I held on to My cross for greatest love of you and in compliance with the Will of My Father. It became so hard to walk! The cross was so heavy! I fell. I fell and the cross fell on Me. They poked at Me, they struck Me, they demanded I get up. The pain from the instruments they used to poke Me and strike Me was so great! I somehow managed to get up.
When you fall under the weight of your cross, come to My Eucharistic Heart. I am no less present in the tabernacle and in the Eucharist than on the day I carried My cross. I wait with the same love that I had for you when I carried this cross and suffered such agony. Oh, how I love you!
4. Jesus and Mary Meet
Jesus speaks: I saw the face of My beautiful Mother. She was weak, her face reddened and full of tears. I saw her tender heart, her love, her anguish, her pain. I saw My dear Mother Mary. My Heart was comforted by the sight of her, but torn by her suffering.
Mary speaks: As I looked into the eyes of my beloved Son, I saw His love. His head, bleeding and wounded. His body weak. His clothes covered with blood. I looked into His eyes and I saw His love for you. I call out to you today. I appear today with a face full of anguish and tears. I appear to call you back to the love of my Son. See through my eyes, as I peer into His eyes, the love He has for you this day to give of Himself for you. Oh, He loves you so much, my little children. See through my eyes the love of my Son. Oh, how He loves you!
5. Simon of Cyrene Is Forced to Help
Jesus Carry His Cross
Jesus speaks: The cross was so heavy I could not move. My persecutors became angry and forced a man to help Me. The cross was so heavy the two of us could barely move it. How is your cross today? Does it seem so heavy you cannot go on? I am forever watching you. When you are suffering the greatest, I am very close to you. It is in immense suffering that you realize My great love for you. Pray for grace to do always the Father's Will. Pray for grace to grow in your knowledge and love of Me.
6. Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus
Jesus speaks: My face was covered with blood. From the crowd Veronica came forward with a cloth to wipe My face. On the cloth I gave to you an imprint of My bloodied face. This, My children, remains with you this day as a sign of My immense love for you. But more than any cloth, look beyond the visible consecrated host. I, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, remain with you, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the Eucharist this day, waiting and longing to be with you. Oh, how I love you!
7. Jesus Falls the Second Time
Jesus speaks: Oh, dear ones, the road became harder and harder to walk. The cross was becoming heavier, My body weaker and weaker. My shoulders and arms hurt so much! My head throbbed as I walked. The blood came from My body, from My head to My feet. I was covered with open wounds. I could not go any farther. I stumbled and fell. Again they poked at Me, only harder, and with such hatred they kicked Me. Such vileness in the hearts of men! My greatest agony was not the agonies of My body, but the agonies of My heart for the love I have for all My precious souls. I loved them so dearly. I loved those who persecuted Me. Oh, how I love you!
8. Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem
Jesus speaks: The women came to Me with their children, their tender hearts crying and wanting to comfort Me. I saw their love, their care. I saw the coldness of men's hearts for all time, the hatred, the anger, the sins, all the souls that, despite all of My sufferings and death, would be condemned to eternal damnation. I told the women to weep not for Me, but for themselves and their children. My greatest agonies were the agonies of My Most Sacred Heart. Oh, how I love you!
9. Jesus Falls the Third Time
Jesus speaks: I fell hard the third time. I was so weakened I could not go on. My body collapsed under the cross from such exhaustion! My child, My child, My greatest agonies were not the wounds to the body. They were the wounds I experienced to My heart. Do you know a little more now how I love you? It is in meditating on My Passion and death that you will realize My immense love for you. When you fall, when you struggle, I give you the grace to get up. I never give you more than you can handle. Your strength will come from Me. Come to My Eucharistic Heart. I am waiting for you this day. Oh, how I love you!
10. Jesus Is Stripped of His Garments
Jesus speaks: They took Me to the hill to crucify Me. They angrily stripped Me of My garments. They took off My clothes to whip Me. They had covered My bloody wounds with a dirty purple robe. Now, total surrender-they took off My clothes. I showed you the way to surrender, always complying with the Will of the Father. It is in living in His Will that you will have peace and joy, and life eternal some day. Oh, how I love you!
11. They Nail Him to the Cross
Messenger: See Mary as she holds the little Baby Jesus. See her as she washes His tender hands and feet. See her now as she watches as they pound into those same hands and feet the gigantic nails that fix Jesus to the cross.
Mary speaks: Oh, my dear ones, my heart was torn in my chest as they nailed His hands and feet to the cross. I ask you this day to walk the Passion with me and see through my eyes the love He has for you. He truly was nailed to the cross.
Jesus speaks: They pounded the nails into My first hand, then they stretched My body and nailed My other hand. The blood poured from these wounds that went totally through My hands. My pain was so immense, but then they nailed My feet! You do not know what pain I suffered, My child. My children, My children, for each one of you I suffered this pain. Oh, how I loved you!
12. Jesus Dies on the Cross
(Silence.)
Messenger: He hung for three agonizing hours on the cross against the darkened sky. His greatest agonies were not the agonies of His body, but those of His Heart for the great love He has for each and every soul.
Jesus speaks: I gave Myself to you, My dear ones. I gave My all. I hung with My arms spread in total surrender. My head was punctured; My hands and feet were nailed to the cross. I gave Myself to you. I give Myself to you this day in the Eucharist. I give Myself to you. I, God, give you Myself! What more do you want?
Song: Oh, burning Heart, oh, Love divine, etc.
Messenger: They pierced His Heart with a lance and what flowed forth was blood and water, the sacramental life of the Church, water for Baptism and blood for the Eucharist. His life, death and resurrection live on in the Church this day.
13. Jesus Is Taken Down from the Cross
and
Placed in the Arms of His Mother
Messenger: His totally lifeless body was placed in the arms of His most loving Mother. As she had held the little baby body in her arms, she now received His bloodied, bruised body in her arms. This is how He obeyed the Father's Will. Jesus gave His life for us. The Father gave His only Son because He loves us so much. Mary, His Mother, our Mother and the Mother of the Church, is forever by His side. See Jesus in the arms of His loving Mother under the cross. This is love.
Mary speaks: I held His lifeless body in my arms. See through my eyes the love He has for you this day. He gives Himself to you today in the Eucharist. He loves you so much!
14. Jesus Is Locked in the Tomb
Messenger: His enemies rolled the stone up to the tomb and were pleased to have buried Jesus. Mary, outside the tomb, wept bitterly. The cold reality that He was dead! But death has no power over Jesus for on the third day He rose, triumphant, from the tomb! We are partakers in His divine life. Death has no power over Jesus. He is with us this day. He comes to bring us life to the full. He loves us so much!
From God's Blue Book IV
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.
July 16, 1994
Love All Persons
Jesus speaks: Do you have trouble with your brothers? Do you know they are as they are? Love all of God's creatures as persons created by God. Genuinely love all persons. I would die for them this very day. Can you offer less to your loving brothers?
Pray to love, children, as I have loved you. Pray to know how to love. Be humble, see your faults, admit your failings. This will lead you to correction of these faults. If you hide your faults, you will never correct them.
Pray to the Spirit to see what needs correcting. Pray to the Spirit to open yourself to the faults that are blocking your relationship with God. Pray to be open to the faults that constantly trip you up and allow you to be caught in Satan's snare. Know your faults child. Know your weaknesses and pray for help to overcome them.
I am Jesus, I love you so. In your pride you overlook your weaknesses, in humility you accept them and try to correct them.
Pray for vision, little one.
July 16, 1994
Be Grateful My Child, for the Blessings I Send You
Messenger: God is giving me everything I need.
Jesus speaks: The very hairs of your head are numbered, I allow all that is happening to you. Do you look for that which you do not have? Look for that which I am giving you. Do you seek love and miss the love that is given? Do you want things given the way you want, or are you accepting the way they are? This is willfulness. You think things should be this way, yet they are that way and you become frustrated. I give you all you need. It is in your acceptance of all things that you grow in your relationship with Me. Do not be willful and expect things the way you think they should be. You are receiving so much love in your life today from others, and you are looking for love the way you want it. I love you and I love you through others. Look at the love I am sending you. Accept all others the way they are. I give to you according to your needs. Do you love Me? I give you so much love in your world and in all those around you. Take the blinders off of your eyes and see the gifts I am pouring out to you this day. Pray to the Holy Spirit for vision. God loves you so. God is caring for your needs this day. In your willfulness you want things your way. Accept the love I pour out to you. Accept all others as they are. Strive to give love as I give to you. I am your God and I love you with an undying love. You are Mine, child, I love you so.
July 16, 1994
The Father
Messenger: The soul thirsts after love. I have a loving Father Who created me. I am hungry for the love of God.
Jesus speaks: Do you stalk this barren world in search of love and find none? The Father is ever vigilant in His love for you. He created you and loves you as the most loving Father.
Come, My children, come and sit and pray. Pray in silence, pray to your Father. "Our Father, Who art in heaven..." Sit and focus on His love for you. He loves what He has created. You are so precious to Him. Come and be with your Father.
July 16, 1994
Where Are You Going?
Messenger: Where are you going? Did you see the accident, the woman on the stretcher? She was very pretty and young. How is her soul? Is she still alive? Did she think only of her hair, her shape, her clothes or did she have a relationship with God? Where is she going?
Jesus speaks: I am the Way, I am Truth and Life. (Jn 14:6). It is only through Me that you will gain eternal salvation.
Are you busy for your earthly lives? Where do you go when you are called so suddenly? I come, you know not the hour nor the day. A continuation of life is promised to no man here. You will be called, you will have no choice. All that goes with you is how you were in your heart.
Did you put God first and love Him with all your heart, did you love your brother as yourself?
Where are you going, if you are called this day?
July 17, 1994
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 dont 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.
July 17, 1994
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 25, 1994
You Are The Temple of God
R. The Spirit of the Lord fills me. I know not what I write. He guides my hand. I comply to His wishes, as I say: You are the divine creation of Him Who knew you before you were formed in the womb of your mother. Jesus was formed in the womb of His Mother through the Holy Spirit. You are a direct creation of the Father, given to such specialness and given such great and ardent love of God!
You are the temple of God. In Baptism you are given His Life within your soul. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit live in your heart. You must feed this life with the love of God. God is forever in your midst and ready to nourish you. You are the divine creation of the Father. Center your life first on God. Come and be with Him, worship and praise Him. Focus on His presence within you and in the Eucharist. See His love poured out to you in others.
Be as another Christ to one another. Where you were blind, open up your heart and let Christ's life live in your very soul. Operate only as He prompts you to act, living within you. Put on Christ. Strive for the greatest union with Him and with Father and Holy Spirit. Mary is your Mother. She leads you through her most loving Heart to the greatest union with God. Be open. Die to self. Be the empty vessel ready to be filled by the hands of God.
Mary, my Mother, lead me to the most loving union with God.
Spirit, lead me to union with God, through Jesus.
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
