Dear Member and Donor,  

     I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love. Merry Christmas! 

     Jesus asked me to send you Blue Book 11. In this troubled world we can turn to Jesus.  

     Here is what Jesus said to tell you.

 Excerpt from Response in Christ - Chapter 4 by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

     In schematic outline we have discussed the manner in which the baptized Christian extends his Mass to his daily existence. As he so lives out his Mass, he is becoming more Christlike. He becomes a more perfect priest and victim for his next participation in the eucharistic sacrifice.42 The beautiful cycle which the Mass contains lies exposed before us. As part of this cycle the Christian is intimately involved in the process of continued redemption. The Mass is the center of the Christian life: ". . . the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the fount from which all her power flows."43

42. For a current treatment of the varied richness of the Eucharist, cf. J. Wicks, "The Movement of Eucharistic Theology" in Chicago Studies, Vol. 10 (1971), pp. 267-284.
43. The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, No. 10.

Jesus: I call you to live your lives as devout members of the mystical body of Christ. I have given these writings that men will realize that they are to live united deeply to the Mass going on around the world. Your lives, given as an offering, a sacrifice every moment in union with the Mass going on around the world. Your life, a sacrifice, offered to the Father, in union with the Mass in oneness with Me, in the Holy Spirit through the intercession of the Blessed Mother with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory.

    Your lives given as members of My mystical body can help to bring down great graces for the priest, the Church and the world.

   

Excerpt from Response in Christ - Chapter 4 by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

"How does the Christian help Christ redeem the world? (Henceforth the term "world" is to be understood as including both rational and nonrational creation.) As previously stated, the Christian helps Christ redeem the world by reliving Christ's mysteries. The same "events" or mysteries which accomplished the objective redemption further the subjective redemption also. Since at the heart of Christ's mysteries are His death and Resurrection, it is especially these that the Christian must relive. As the Christian dies mystically with Christ through loving conformity with the Father's will, he rises with Christ to an ever greater share in the Resurrection, in the newness of life, in the life of grace. As the Christian in this manner relives the paschal mystery of Christ, he is accomplishing not only his own redemption, but he is also, in a mysterious yet real manner, helping Christ redeem the world."

                R. The devil hates God. In Christmas
                we celebrate the gift of the Christ Child who
                came, the Savior of the world, and to give us a
                sharing in His life in baptism.

                God wants us with Him forever in eternity.
                That human man could go to eternal
                life in heaven is the envy of satan.
                Satan hates God.

                    God is love. Satan hates – He
                hates men, he tempts and wants to
                enslave men to him. Satan is hate. Satan is
                a liar. Satan works to enslave a
                man to his evil designs and satan
                hates man and God.

                Satan will be in hell for eternity
                so he hates that man can sin and
                seek forgiveness and can still go to
                heaven if he repents. Satan hates man
                and is envious of him going to heaven.

                    A man who is envious of another
                hates others' good fortune and wants
                to bring them down. An envious man
                thinks in errors, he thinks in error –
                "your being good makes me
                look bad, I must bring you down."
                Lucifer was such a beautiful
                angel – he gave into pride and
                took the road of eternal misery. 

2 Peter 2: 19-22

They may promise freedom but are themselves slaves to corruption; because if anyone lets himself be dominated by anything, then he is a slave to it; and anyone who has escaped the pollution of the world by coming to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and who then allows himself to be entangled and mastered by it a second time, ends up by being worse than he was before. It would have been better for them never to have learnt the way of uprightness, than to learn it and then desert the holy commandment that was entrusted to them. What they have done is exactly as the proverb rightly says: The dog goes back to its vomit and : As soon as the sow has been washed, it wallows in the mud.

 

                R. We were created in the image and likeness
                of God. Satan wants us to go to hell.
                Satan hates.

                    When a man sins in a community
                he hurts the whole community.
                A leader is to correct the error and
                this is fraternal love. To lead a
                sinner, especially under the authority
                of a leader, away from sin is
                an act of love.

                Jesus: Is it not more dear that a man
                    is healed of his sins or is
                    it better a man could tie
                    a noose around his neck and
                    throw himself into the sea. A man
                    who is sinning needs to stop sinning
                    for the sake of his soul and the effects
                    of his sins and vices on others.

                    You know not the day nor the hour.
                A man is promised nothing about
                the length of his life – He may
                be called on at a moments notice.
                You must love and serve the Lord as He
                desires if you want to go to heaven.

                    Habits can get bigger or smaller.
                A habit is a result of repeated
                activities in one's behavior. If
                a man acts lovingly by habit
                the more he will love. A man who
                lies habitually, lies more and more
                easily and is serving satan. People
                do not want to trust his word for
                he has, through his own actions and
                will, proved to be a liar over and
                over again.

                    Satan is the father of lies.
                I am the way, the truth and the life.
                I love you so much, I took flesh
                and I died for you. I give
                to you a sharing in My life
                in baptism.

                    I give you My Blue Books, a great
                sign of My love.
     

Isaiah 62: 1-5

The splendour of Jerusalem

About Zion I will not be silent,
about Jerusalem I shall not rest
until saving justice dawns for her
   like a bright light
and her salvation like a blazing torch.
The nations will then see
   your saving justice,
and all kings your glory,
and you will be called a new name
which Yahweh's mouth will reveal.
You will be a crown of splendour
   in Yahweh's hand,
a princely diadem in the hand of your God.
No more will you be known as 'Forsaken'
or your country be known as 'Desolation';
instead, you will be called
   'My Delight is in her'
and your country 'The Wedded';
for Yahweh will take delight in you
and your country will have its wedding.
Like a young man marrying a virgin,
your rebuilder will wed you,
and as the bridegroom rejoices in his bride,
so will your God rejoice in you.

 

Psalm 89: 4-5, 16-17, 27, 29

I have made your dynasty firm for ever,
built your throne stable age after age.' Pause

The heavens praise your wonders, Yahweh,
your constancy in the gathering of your faithful.

In your name they rejoice all day long,
by your saving justice they are raised up.

You are the flower of their strength,
by your favour our strength is triumphant;

So I shall make him my first-born,
the highest of earthly kings.

I have established his dynasty for ever,
his throne to be as lasting as the heavens.

 

Acts 13: 16-17, 22-25

Paul stood up, raised his hand for silence and began to speak:

'Men of Israel, and fearers of God, listen! The God of our nation Israel chose our ancestors and made our people great when they were living in Egypt, a land not their own; then by divine power he led them out

he deposed him and raised up David to be king, whom he attested in these words, "I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will perform my entire will." To keep his promise, God has raised up for Israel one of David’s descendants, Jesus, as Saviour, whose coming was heralded by John when he proclaimed a baptism of repentance for the whole people of Israel. Before John ended his course he said, "I am not the one you imagine me to be; there is someone coming after me whose sandal I am not fit to undo." 

 
                  R. Christ is from the House of David.

                  Read Matthew 1: 1-25 for the family
                    genealogy of David.

 
Titus 2: 11-14

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

 

                R. The grace of God has appeared.


Isaiah 52: 7-10

How beautiful on the mountains,
are the feet of the messenger
   announcing peace,
of the messenger of good news,
who proclaims salvation
and says to Zion,
   ‘Your God is king!’
The voices of your watchmen!
Now they raise their voices,
shouting for joy together,
for with their own eyes they have seen
Yahweh returning to Zion.
Break into shouts together,
shouts of joy, you ruins of Jerusalem;
for Yahweh has consoled his people,
he has redeemed Jerusalem.
Yahweh has bared his holy arm
for all the nations to see,
and all the ends of the earth
have seen the salvation of our God.

 

                R. All the ends of the earth shall
                    see the salvation of God.

 


Titus 3: 4-7

But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour for humanity were revealed, it was not because of any upright actions we had done ourselves; it was for no reason except his own faithful love that he saved us, by means of the cleansing water of rebirth and renewal in the Holy Spirit which he has so generously poured over us through Jesus Christ our Saviour; so that, justified by his grace, we should become heirs in hope of eternal life. This is doctrine that you can rely on.

   

                 R. God is our Savior.

Our Lady of China

 

Hebrews 1: 1-6

At many moments in the past and by many means, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets; but in our time, the final days, he has spoken to us in the person of his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the ages. He is the reflection of God's glory and bears the impress of God's own being, sustaining all things by his powerful command; and now that he has purged sins away, he has taken his seat at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high. So he is now as far above the angels as the title which he has inherited is higher than their own name.

To which of the angels, then, has God ever said:

    You are my Son, today I have fathered you,

or:

    I shall be a father to him and he a son to me?

Again, when he brings the First-born into the world, he says:

    Let all the angels of God pay him homage.

    

                R. God wants us with Him forever in heaven.

 

 

   

Christmas

December 25, 2008

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen.

    

                R. Emmanuel

                God is with us.

                Jesus is the bread of life –

                Jesus was put in a manger –
                    which is used for animals
                    to feed –

                We know Jesus is the Bread of Life.

   

John 6: 48-58

I am the bread of life.
Your fathers ate manna in the desert
and they are dead;
but this is the bread
   which comes down from heaven,
so that a person may eat it and not die.
I am the living bread
   which has come down from heaven.
Anyone who eats this bread
   will live for ever;
and the bread that I shall give
is my flesh, for the life of the world.'

    Then the Jews started arguing among themselves, 'How can this man give us his flesh to eat?' Jesus replied to them:

In all truth I tell you,
if you do not eat
   the flesh of the Son of man
and drink his blood,
you have no life in you.
Anyone who does eat my flesh
   and drink my blood
has eternal life,
and I shall raise that person up
   on the last day.
For my flesh is real food
and my blood is real drink.
Whoever eats my flesh
   and drinks my blood
lives in me
and I live in that person.
As the living Father sent me
and I draw life from the Father,
so whoever eats me
   will also draw life from me.
This is the bread
   which has come down from heaven;
it is not like the bread our ancestors ate:
they are dead,
but anyone who eats this bread
   will live for ever.

From Blue Book 11

June 17, 1996 - Blue Book Meeting

Jesus: I give to you great gifts, My beloved ones. I have called each and every one of you to this room. You are so special to Me. I have called you that you will be closer and closer to My Heart. I am offended by the sins of many men and I ask you to comfort My Heart. I ask you to give Me your love. Many times I give to you great graces and you enjoy these graces and we become very close to one another, and then you become attached to those things that are worldly and you forget Me. You come and pray but you do not pray with your heart. You come and pray and I am longing for you, for your love, when you ignore our love affair My Heart aches. I want you to love Me deeply always.

    It offends My Heart when My precious loved ones are soclose to Me and then they distance themselves. How I am offended by My priests that entered with such love in their hearts and their hearts now have turned cold. I lament the loss of their love. I am calling you on a special mission. This is a special rosary. This is a special night in which I will speak to you and tell you of My Plan for the world, for future generations. I am Jesus. You have been called and I have chosen you to come into My Heart.

    I ask you to open your heart, see all the souls of this earth, your brothers, love the souls, unite to Me, love all men, those you know and those that you do not know. You are praying for the souls I died for, the souls of this earth. You are My beloved ones. Be one in Me. I have called you and I have chosen you to be so close to Me. Your brothers will know My love through you. Be faith filled, full of love and hope, pray for an increase of faith, hope and love.

Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

Jesus: You will experience many trials. I am calling you to come to the spiritual womb of My Mother. It is there, in your relationship with Mary, your Mother, that you will have peace and joy in your hearts. When you come to her spiritual womb she will take you deeply into My Heart and it is there you will unite to the Father.

1. R. Think of the child, the embryo in the womb of their mother. The life comes from God but the child is so dependent on their mother for their life. Be close to Mary your spiritual Mother.

2. R. The angel appeared to Mary and asked her to be the Mother of God.

3. R. If Mary is the Mother of God, who are we that we do not think that we need Mary, our spiritual Mother, in our spiritual life. Jesus gave us Mary under the cross. It is through Mary that we unite deeper to the Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Mary is the singular vessel.

4. R. Jesus was formed in the womb of Mary, through the power of the Holy Spirit.

5. R. Think of an embryo in the womb of their mother. How dependent the embryo is on it’s mother. Jesus told us at Fatima that we must go through His Mother to His Heart.

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her (during her illness) by Mary:

Tell everybody that God gives graces through the  Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her.19

19. Our Lady of Fatima’s Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp. 9-10.

R. Think, this day, of all those who have forgotten Mary, who do not pray to Mary, who want things their own way.

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. end of excerpt

6. R. Mary appeared at Fatima, she told us that God wants us to go through her to Him.

8. R. How bad can it get in our life? We see the world as it is this day and we know that there will be an era of peace.

Mary’s message from Fatima:
“But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world.”13

13. Our Lady of Fatima’s Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). p. 5.

R. The Blessed Mother appeared at Fatima. We are here in such sinfulness and there will be such holiness. Mary tells us, she gives us a peace plan in which we will go into this new era. It is through consecrating our hearts, through the rosary, through the First Saturday devotion, making reparation to her heart, that we will have peace, rather that war.

Men ignored Our Lady at Fatima and there was World War II. Mary has appeared to me for 14 months, every day, from July 5th of 1994 until September 5, 1995. She does not appear as she once did for she has delivered her messages and people do not listen to her urgent plea. We will go from the sinfulness that we are living in now to an era of great holiness, and if men do not consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, pray the rosary and observe the First Saturday devotions, there will be many chastisements, and many sufferings. Mary said this –

 

Mary’s message from Fatima:

July 13, 1917

“During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

“You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

“The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father.12

“To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

“But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world.”13

12. Our Lady of Fatima’s Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp. 4-5.
13. Ibid., p. 5.

R. Mary told me she cannot hold back the hand of her Son any longer. Mary was conceived without sin. Mary appeared to me and she said: you cannot offend God any longer. But, willful men do as they please. They have made this world their end and there was World War II as Mary said July 13, 1917. We know there will be a great era of peace. If we ignore our Heavenly Mother, there will be much suffering, many wars, many chastisements, that will take us to this new era. Mary said that many souls will be lost.

9. R. The Plan of the Father will unfold. The angel came at Portugal –

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

Before receiving the six apparitions of Our Lady, May through October of 1917, the three Fatima visionaries were visited by an angel on three different occasions during the preceding year. He appeared to them in the spring, summer, and fall. Lucia (now Sr. Lucia) describes the springtime apparition of the angel:

“My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You.”

Then, rising he said: “Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications.”

His words engraved themselves so deeply on our minds that we could never forget them.3

During the summer of 1916, the angel again appeared to the three visionaries. He said to them:

Pray! Pray a great deal. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have merciful designs on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices continually to the Most High. Make everything you do a sacrifice, and offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which God is offended, and as a petition for the conversion of sinners. Bring peace to our country in this way.... I am the Guardian Angel of Portugal. Accept and bear with submission all the sufferings the Lord will send you.4

In the fall of the same year, the angel visited the visionaries a final time:

The angel came...bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed that drops of blood were falling from the Host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid-air and prostrated himself on the ground, saying this beautiful prayer: “Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.” 5

Sr. Lucia relates how the angel gave them Communion:

Then, rising, he took the chalice and the Host in his hand. He gave the Sacred Host to me and shared the Blood from the chalice between Jacinta and Francisco, saying as he did so:

“Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God.” 6

Reflecting upon these messages of the angel, we see how much they contain for our spiritual instruction.

R. The Plan of the Father will unfold, despite the control of individuals to try to stop these messages. The Plan will unfold and there will be an era of peace. These rosaries are a big part of the completion of the Fatima message.

You are called and you were chosen. You are part of the completion of this Fatima message. You see three little children, you see the Virgin Mary appear to these children – I am speaking to you this day. You are part of the completion of Mary’s message given at Fatima. There will be an era of peace, Mary said at Fatima.

10. Jesus: I have given to you abundant graces that you will carry out these directions given from Me and Mary - it is the Plan of the Father.

 

The Visitation

R. Mary went to visit her cousin Elizabeth to announce that she was to be the Mother of God.

1. R. Her cousin Elizabeth, too, had conceived of a child in her old age.

2. R. At the Holy Spirit Center we see the Visitation in one window and across from this we see the Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles. Mary went to tell her cousin Elizabeth, one person, and we see Pentecost in the window in the Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and the Virgin Mary across the isle of the Church. We see how the Church grew from this.

3. Jesus: You have been called and you have been chosen by Me to be My Apostles to carry My message into the new era. Millions and millions of souls will fervently love Me because of the work that you do. You are My Apostles. There will be an era of peace. There will be such joy and such love on this earth. Look at your world this day. Look at the hatred, the anger, the isolation, the cruelty. There will be this era of greatest love. You know that it will be through prayer and sacrifice and through much suffering that this will come about.

I am calling you to help to spread these messages and these rosaries to this world. You must see many souls are going to hell today. You must see your brothers and see the vileness in this world. See the children that are murdered and the children that are abused. I have called you here to deliver this message. There is such hatred in the world today. I am giving to you a great gift – a gift of My burning love that you will know how the hearts will love Me in the new era. You will love Me with this fervent love today for you are the leaders and you will lead many to the love of My Heart. Consecrate your hearts to My Heart and My Mother’s Heart. If you say “no”, who will I send?

4. R. On July 13, 1917, the children at Fatima had a vision of hell:

As she spoke these words, Our Lady stretched out her hands, and bright rays came forth which seemed to penetrate into the earth. All at once the ground vanished, and the children found themselves standing on the brink of a sea of fire. As they peered into this dreadful place, the terrified youngsters saw huge numbers of devils and damned souls. The devils resembled hideous black animals, each filling the air with despairing shrieks. The damned souls were in their human bodies and seemed to be brown in color, tumbling about constantly in the flames and screaming with terror. All were on fire within and without their bodies, and neither devils nor damned souls seemed able to control their movements. They were tossing about in the flames like fiery coals in a furnace. There was never an instant’s peace or freedom from pain.

    Looking with compassion at the pale and trembling little ones, the vision spoke to them: “You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.”

THE VISION FORETELLS
WORLD WAR II AND COMMUNISM

“The war (First World War, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father.

    “To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

    “But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world.” The Lady asked that this message be kept secret until she gave permission to reveal it.

Our Lady of Fatima’s Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp. 4-5.

5. R. The message is clear, it is consecration of our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, praying the rosary, and the First Saturday devotions. Jesus and Mary have asked me to call you here, to ask you to help spread this message to the world, for there will be great sufferings if people do not follow Mary’s peace plan. She has announced the peace plan at Fatima that she has told me for 14 months, every day. We will go into this new era and there will be tremendous peace and love. It will be in peace that we will go into this era or in war. The peace or war of this world depends on these things: consecration, rosary and the First Saturday devotion – so simple and so easy but how many today even talk about the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Jesus: You are called, My chosen ones. You are apostles to spread this message to the world. I am giving to you the peace of this world. It is through your efforts that the sufferings can be alleviated and lessened. Will you spread the peace plan of My Mother by consecration, rosary and First Saturday devotions?

6. Jesus: You have seen the sufferings in this world, the drugs and the alcohol. You have seen the abortion, the homosexuality. I am calling you to peace, love and joy, to pray and to make sacrifices for the souls of your brothers. I am giving you great graces to unite in such oneness with Me, that your prayers are so powerful when you are united to Me. You have been called, you have been chosen to this unique union with Me. You will help many, many souls because of your prayers, your sacrifices, and your efforts to help spread the message

R. Mary went to tell the good news to her cousin Elizabeth. We are the apostles today to spread this message to our brothers on this earth.

The Birth of Our Lord

Song: Our Lady of Fatima

1. R. The Almighty God so loved this world that He came into this world a little helpless baby in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Today we are being called to unite in deepest union with God. We will unite in this deep union when we come through the spiritual womb of our Mother. We need Mary, she is the Mediatrix of all grace and His life flows through her Immaculate Heart.

2. R. Mary’s Immaculate Heart is our spiritual womb. She is our spiritual Mother.

3. R. Mary’s heart is surrounded by thorns for the offenses against her. Mary is blasphemed in her Motherhood, Virginity, and Immaculate Conception. Mary is blasphemed by some parents of children and the children are taught to disrespect Mary. Mary’s images are destroyed by some. How many of her little children reject her totally? How many of her priests do not love her as they should love her as their spiritual Mother? How many reject Mary and her heart is offended by her children who reject her.

4. R. How many people say that Mary was not a Virgin?

5. R. Mary was conceived Immaculate! She is offended and her heart is surrounded by thorns for the blasphemies against her Immaculate Heart. How it offends Our Lord, for He loves His Mother and He wants us to honor her.

6. R. Jesus shows us the way. He came into this world in the womb of His Mother. Mary is the Mother of the Almighty God. Who are we that we think that we do not need her, when Jesus gave her to us under the cross as our Spiritual Mother!

7. R. Jesus wants us to venerate His Mother’s Heart next to His.

8. R. In venerating her heart we see how the Almighty God favors His human creatures. Mary is the highest human and He wants her heart venerated next to His. If we recognize this and honor Mary, we can understand more how God loves us – His human creatures.

9. Hail Mary
10. Hail Mary

 

The Presentation in the Temple

R. Mary is the spouse of the Holy Spirit and her heart is the sanctuary of the Holy Spirit. Jesus comes to us. Jesus tells us that He wants us to honor and love His Mother. It is through her that we will have the deepest union with the Almighty God. Mary is the Singular Vessel.

1. From the Priestly Newsletter Book III by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

The Holy Spirit And Mary

    The late Archbishop Luis M. Martinez of Mexico strikingly speaks of the ongoing cooperation of Mary with the Holy Spirit regarding the reproduction of Jesus within us: “Christian life is the reproduction of  Jesus in souls…

    “Now, how will this mystical reproduction be brought about in souls? In the same way in which Jesus was brought into the world, for God gives a wonderful mark of unity to all His works. Divine acts have a wealth of variety because they are the work of omnipotence; nevertheless, a most perfect unity always shines forth from them because they are the fruit of wisdom; and this divine contrast of unity and variety stamps the works of God with sublime and unutterable beauty.

    “In His miraculous birth, Jesus was the fruit of heaven and earth…The Holy Spirit conveyed the divine fruitfulness of the Father to Mary, and the virginal soil brought forth in an ineffable manner our most loving Savior, the divine Seed, as the prophets called Him…

    “That is the way He is reproduced in souls. He is always the fruit of heaven and earth.

    “Two artisans must concur in the work that is at once God’s masterpiece and humanity’s supreme product: the Holy Spirit and the most holy Virgin Mary. Two sanctifiers are necessary to souls, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, for they are the only ones who can reproduce Christ.

    “Undoubtedly, the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary sanctify us in different ways. The first is the Sanctifier by essence; because He is God, who is infinite sanctity; because He is the personal Love that completes, so to speak, the sanctity of God, consummating His life and His unity, and it belongs to Him to communicate to souls the mystery of that sanctity. The Virgin Mary, for her part, is the co-operator, the indispensable instrument in and by God’s design. From Mary’s maternal relation to the human body of Christ is derived her relation to His Mystical Body which is being formed through all the centuries until the end of time, when it will be lifted up to the heavens, beautiful, splendid, complete, and glorious.

    “These two, then, the Holy Spirit and Mary, are the indispensable artificers of Jesus, the indispensable sanctifiers of souls. Any saint in heaven can co-operate in the sanctification of a soul, but his co-operation is not necessary, not profound, not constant: while the cooperation of these two artisans of Jesus of whom we have just been speaking is so necessary that without it souls are not sanctified (and this by the actual design of Providence), and so intimate that it reaches to the very depths of our soul. For the Holy Spirit pours charity into our heart, makes a habitation of our soul, and directs our spiritual life by means of His gifts. The Virgin Mary has the efficacious influence of Mediatrix in the most profound and delicate operations of grace in our souls. And, finally, the action of the Holy Spirit and the co-operation of the most holy Virgin Mary are constant; without them, not one single character of Jesus would be traced on our souls, no virtue grow, no gift be developed, no grace increased, no bond of union with God be strengthened in the rich flowering of the spiritual life.

    “Such is the place that the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary have in the order of sanctification. Therefore, Christian piety should put these two artisans of Christ in their true place, making devotion to them something necessary, profound, and constant.”18

18. Archbishop Luis M. Martinez, The Sanctifier, op. cit. pp. 5-7.

2. R. I see myself fall over and over into the same offenses and sins, yet Jesus says, “You must come to My Heart through the heart of My Mother.” We must jump into the arms of our beloved Mother as a little child and feel her press us closely against her chest and give us her love.

3. R. How great will the sufferings be? How much will Jesus have to teach us before we try to go to the heart of Mary to realize that we need Mary – go to her Immaculate Heart which is our spiritual womb. We need to give ourselves in consecration to Mary. In this surrender we will be closer to God.

4. R. We are deeper united to God the more we love, the more pure we are the more we give ourselves in consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the Hearts of greatest love.

5. R. Mary and Jesus want us to give our hearts to Them. Then we will know more and more the love of God. Then we will reach greater holiness.

6. R. Simeon said to Mary, “a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.” How Mary’s heart is wounded this day with thorns for the way she is treated by her children.

7. R. Mary appeared to me every day for 14 months. She told me her peace plan. This is an urgent cry – when Jesus and Mary appear and speak to us. The world does not want this message for they are fixed on the things of this world. Satan has tried to do everything to stop these messages for he wants the souls for hell. This is Mary’s peace plan: Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the rosary and the First Saturday devotion.

8. R. The peace or war of this world depends on these things. Mary is the highest human person. Mary comes and she appears and she says to us: “Look, look, my little children. The Almighty God is offended. I cannot hold back His hand any longer. This is what you must do. Here is the plan.” She has called us as her children of light. Jesus has called us as His apostles. Jesus wants us to make reparation to Mary’s heart for the offenses against her heart and to make reparation to His Sacred Heart.

These are the Joyful Mysteries and this is a message of joy for many, many souls. Jesus says: millions and millions and millions of souls can be reached through these messages, for He magnifies all of our efforts. Millions and millions and millions of souls must be reached with the rosary and the Consecration to Their Two Hearts.

9. R. Mary told St. Dominic that one day through the rosary and the scapular she will save the world.

10. Hail Mary

 

The Finding in the Temple

Jesus: I call, I call, I call and I am ignored. You do not know that My patience is thin for I have been ignored by many, many men that I have delivered these messages to. Many will have horrendous sufferings for their sins, their offenses against God. Listen to these messages of My Mother given in these rosaries. I am sorry to tell you these things about sufferings, but man is making his own problems with his disobedience and disrespect of God. My dear ones, it is through your prayers and sacrifices that many sufferings will be lessened. As you pray and sacrifice, as you help to spread this message to this world in such darkness, you can help so many souls.

1. R. People do not want to change their lives, they ignore the messages. Look what they did to the prophets of old and they were punished because they would not listen to the warning. Men disobeying God make their own suffering.

2. R. My heart was so frightened for five days from the message that Jesus delivered on Wednesday. This message was so scary and I can tell you that in that message Jesus said that satan will do everything he can to stop these rosaries.

3. R. Many, many souls will be lost and condemned forever and ever to the fires of hell Mary says. We must pray fervently with our whole heart and unite to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Jesus wants special oneness with us. We can help to bring down great grace through our intercessory prayer.

4. R. Do you hear the cry of our heavenly Mother? Can I tell you what I saw all those times, day after day, when three of us were there praying sometimes? The children at Fatima were jailed and they told the children lies to scare them. Children - delivering a message from their heavenly Mother - and what occurred because they did not listen was the outbreak of World War II. Because, exactly as Mary said, is what happened. Exactly what Jesus has said to me over and over and over again – to the point where I get knots in my stomach, has happened over and over again.

Mary cries out to us as she did in every rosary in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel when I prayed and she appeared, she cried out to help to reach her little, lost children. Jesus was lost in the Temple. Mary’s Heart was pierced with a sword for the little children that will be lost.

5. R. This is not a message of doom and gloom, this is a message of hope. This is a message of Our Lady of Grace that appeared three times so covered with light and was a symbol of grace, etc., light pours on the earth through her Immaculate Heart. Mary tells us that this is a time of great grace and if man turns to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, many will receive great grace and there will be an era of peace without tremendous suffering, but if many ignore the message of our heavenly Mother again, the suffering will be so horrendous that we cannot even speak of what will happen.

6. R. Mary promised at Fatima that there will be an era of peace.

7. R. Mary said last year in the rosary in June that satan would wipe out the rosaries at the Center and that is exactly what happened. Over and over again I was told right before it happened, exactly what would happen and it unfolded exactly the way Mary and Jesus have said.

The children were jailed at Fatima and satan will try to block these messages any way that he can. Satan will work through pride and arrogance and control in many men, men that do not spend time in front of the Tabernacle, men that are getting all their answers in the world and from other people.

Jesus said, “If you speak to 50 different people, you get 50 different answers.” The only way that we will be doing the Father’s will is if each day we spend time alone with God as we hear the Father’s Plan for us in our hearts and pray to the Holy Spirit. If we do not, we hear the words from all those we meet in the world and these are the answers that we can use to solve problems that need God’s help.

8. Jesus: Come to Me and I will outpour to you My grace. I will tell you those things that you need to know about yourselves and about Me. I will reveal to you the Plan of the Father, which is unique for you. No person can tell you this, come to Me. Each day you must come to Me in this gloomy, godless world. You must come to Me, I will help you to understand the Father’s will.

9. R. Follow Mary’s peace plan for the world. We see the apostles that Jesus is calling to carry out this Consecration through the Shepherds of Christ Movement in the world. Mary has given to me these rosaries. Jesus has asked each one of us here to help to carry the rosary to the world, to pray fervently that these rosaries will be distributed, for this is a big part of this completion of the Fatima message. We see three little children and the Blessed Mother appears to them. See each and every person in this room and the Almighty God talking to us. We have been called, we have been chosen. We have been given great graces that we will be able to carry out whatever They ask us to do.

10. R. God is the source of life. Life flows from the Father in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, through the heart of Mary and into us. We act as channels of this life in the world. God wants to saturate us with a great abundance of His life, that wherever we are and in whatever room, people will see Him in us. Whether we speak or not, the presence of the Almighty God will be within us and He will live in this world in us. We must go to the silence of the Tabernacle.

Jesus: Many times the whole world will think that you are wrong, but I will give you your direction in your hearts before the Tabernacle. I love you, I love you, I love you. It will become harder and harder to know what is right and wrong with the condition of this world. You will be tainted in your thinking by the sickness of this world. Come to the tabernacle. I am calling each person here to fervently come and love Me.

Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle B —  The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A — The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

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

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

Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B — At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

Audio CD - Read by Father Edward J. Carter
$ 10.00  plus postage

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

His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ–." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
