THE EARTH STOPPED AND TOUCHED HEAVEN

I long to unite in the deepest union with Him in the Eucharist. I long for the Mass. I long for Thee, oh God. My every moment, I join as I did to You December 15 under the cross, where I felt Your presence. You whisked me away, and I was totally absorbed in that moment of celestial union with You. For that time, I existed only in You, in the deepest union, and I was in this moment existing in You. The earth stopped, and I touched the heavens, all my bodily cares were existent in You. I existed in Your Divinity, my being was in You. There was no desire or wish or wanting, for in that moment, I had all I wanted in You. I was satisfied and wanted nothing but to remain in that embrace. You were the Being, and my being existed in You, but I was only as I was in You - merged in You, knowing and being in Your Divinity and being so full as to feel complete in myself.

You are so enormous, and You surrounded me in a burning embrace, the presence of red fire. I was not little, or "nothing", but existed in this enormous power and being so complete!

I touched eternity, and in that embrace, I knew all the waiting was worth the glory. You enveloped my being, and I was truly merged in the Divine Presence. I was merged in Your being. I existed IN You, with You, in the highest union with You, although I knew I was still distinct from You.

I was fused and absorbed in You, feeling complete and satisfied. To describe this union is far beyond any work of my pen and paper. I pray for the reader of this page to receive the grace to share this experience with Him, I will now live for this union-to be forever merged In Him, to be One in Him, to reach higher perfection as I exist in Him, for He takes the lowly and gives to them a sharing in Himself. He merges with us and we exist in Him. The word "in" - I could write pages about. I long for the deepest union with Him, where I am swept up in the heavenly embrace of the Divine God, and I am IN Him.

This is heaven on earth: to be merged as one with Divinity, although remaining distinct from God, to take our feeble hearts, our lowly status and to unite ourselves with the Divine, Almighty, powerful God and in this union to be meshed with Him, that His power dominates and our humanity reaches its heights of fulfillment in this union, in this oneness with Him.

The word I have looked for is "oneness." I understand some of the meaning of the words "One in Him." Oneness is the word to describe this union of our humanity with His Divinity. The depth to which we could meditate on oneness with God is incomprehensible. In that moment, the earth stood still, and He, my Divine Lover, the Bridegroom of my soul, took me to Himself, and I knew the embrace of the Divine God.

Nothing on the face of this earth can describe our union with Divinity. Oh, good God, that creatures are so ungrateful regarding Your divine love. I am so sorry. Let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart. Please unite with me now that I may more deeply love Thee.

Oh, Divine Lover of my soul, let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart for the neglect and indifference against You.

Song from Jesus: I come to you with greatest love. I am your loving Savior. I am your God. I died for you. I come to you this day.

He allowed me to experience such pain in my heart - wanting Him so badly, so many times-and then on Dec. 15, 1995 - He gave Himself to me in the deepest union.

Nothing satisfies the soul but Him. He wants the nuns and priests to love Him. He chose them to spread His love.

Souls are hungry. They will only be fed with His burning love. Priests need to talk about Jesus' love for us from the pulpit. Priests need hearts burning for love of Jesus. This will feed the hungry souls - lip service love doesn't do it.

He is alive today. He is a Person. He wants us to love Him.

Excerpt from December 26, 2004

Jesus speaks:    It is an honor to protect My face
                                in Florida — look at what
                                happened to Mary.

Messenger:     Dear Apostles,

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

                            Today Jesus sends His great love as we celebrate -
                                Jesus is the Savior, the Light of the world.

                            Sing:  Song From Jesus

                            Let us say yes every moment today —

                            Yes as Mary said yes to doing God's will in
                                great love.

                            - Jesus asks that you pray for special intentions.

                            - Please pray for Joe and hand and surgery and doctors —

                            - Pray for all in the Movement and all who touch
                                the Movement.

                            - Pray for $55,000 for Jesus' face protection

                            - Money for the Priestly Newsletter on the
                                Eucharist and Mary and all work to
                                get Newsletter in the hands of the
                                priests

                            - Pray for Fr. Lou and everything to do with
                                getting Newsletter together and taped and Cathy.

                            - Pray for the jobs Jesus has asked me to do and
                                all of us do.

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:  I have given you My Church in China
                            to pray.

Jesus speaks:  I have given you a mission to pray
                            for the priests, the Church and the
                            world — which majorly pleases
                            your Father in heaven.

                        I have given you My very intimate
                            letters of love.

                        I have given to you My daily messages
                            to help you be My Shepherds of
                            Christ Members, serving Me and
                            loving Me.

                        I have given you the Priestly Newsletter
                            and the prayer chapters.

                        I have given you the School Rosary
                            program.

                        I have called you to be Apostles of
                            My Eucharistic Heart.

                        I have called you to My Heart and
                            given you the building
                            of the 2 Hearts and My Blue Book
                            writings, letters of My ardent love.

                            Your attitude should be one of
                        love and gratefulness.

                            I have given you the rosary
                        meditations to use and help you love
                        the rosary.

                            Say thanks and love Me —

                            Pray hard at all centers —

                            This is My Movement —

                            Do not block My Movement —
                        I am Jesus, Savior of the World.

                        I have called you to do this work.
                        You must pray for this vocation.     

Jesus speaks:  Do the stations

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.

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.

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 don’t even notice because I want it my way?

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

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

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

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

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

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

We are called to spread the Good News.

The Lady is calling. She is calling you now.

May we be on fire with His love. 

    

    

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
