December 30, 2001

Messenger:             I remember the anticipation of having a baby.
                            There was much joy to feel a life grow inside of me.
                            I was waiting to have the baby and know the baby
                            was all right. When it was over and the baby born,
                            I wish I would have had less fear during the
pregnancy
                            and enjoyed the
pregnancy more. Pregnancy I knew
                            was a beautiful time and I did enjoy it, but it was
                            accompanied by fear.

                                My life is lived for my beloved God. I will never be
                            able to write about all my experiences in the Mass.
                            There were periods when Our Lord
wanted me to record 
                            my experiences then I had
ecstasies every day. When I
                            wrote, Your Presence Pervades My Soul, I was parked 
                            on the side of a road after Mass and I could not
even
                            express the depths of what I felt or what I was experiencing
                            I wrote the song after communion as God directed me.
                            After Mary appeared from July 5, 94 - September 5, 95,
                            at first I felt great suffering when she was not coming to me
                            at 6:30 or after as she had been, but I never realized how I 
                            would grow in a deeper and deeper love union with God.
                            I feel I am always longing to be completely satisfied. I long 
                            for Him and I want to experience Him deeper and deeper. 
                            I know I will not be completely satisfied until I get to heaven.
                            I feel I am starved. I am longing for Him, I want 
                            completeness-I am in a dry thirsty
desert land
                            I want the Mass and I want to be in it again in those
                            deep
ecstasies when I received special graces and experienced
                            His favors. I am hungry, hungry for Him. Having experienced
                            this deep, deep union, having been saturated so deeply with
                            His life, having been given so many consolations, I
                            live so much of my life thirsting, longing, wanting,
                            completeness IN HIM.

                                I long to look at another picture of the Mass
                            and go to those places He has taken me.
                            Places where He revealed deep insights into the hidden
                            mysteries and enveloped me in His deep burning love.
                            I know those experiences so well. It is not what I
                            do that controls when He acts on my soul.

                                He acted on my soul, He was the initiator,
                            I the soul waiting His favors.

                                I know so much about union with God from
                            these experiences, but it is not that knowing which
                            takes a chosen soul into a state of
ecstasy, it is
                            by the hand of God flooding the soul with a
                            special grace, that this experience takes place.

                                I didn't make Mary appear, she appeared when she
                            came. I was waiting. She came to me. I had to be at Our
                            Lady of the Holy Spirit Center at 6:30 everyday before
                            the statue or she didn't come. I had to wait until she came.
                            Fr. Carter didn't see her, but he felt a special presence when
                            she appeared. Later other people saw different apparitions.

                                It was such a shock to me after Mary appeared all those
                            5th's and I thought our Blessed Lady would appear 
                            December 5, 1996 and I saw the horrifying vision of Jesus
                            right before His death hanging on the cross with His mouth
                            moving up and down so wide.

                                I cried, I felt horrified, I can't describe how I was.
                            The pain stuck with me for so very long afterward. It was
                            so vividly engraved in my heart that day. I had experiences 
                            Ascension Thursday 1995 and He called out "I am alive, I am
                            alive, I am alive." I cried for days afterward every time I
                            would speak of it.

                                The writings and events need to be organized, especially the
                            dates. I know them by heart, they are engraved deep inside of me, 
                            also the experiences, where I was, how I felt, the experience in
                            vivid detail. So much of the materials are still unpublished. Rosary
                            meditations and messages I received when doing live rosaries
                            when
Mary appeared in 94 and 95. Also Rosary meditations from
                            Sweet Rosaries given on Fridays at 12:00 noon, Shepherds of
                            Christ Rosaries given on Tuesdays, then Sundays on 13ths and 5ths.

                                There are Blue Books IV and V and VI and VII and VIII
                            etc. most of which are unpublished and undiscerned.

                                Several of the daily message books are ready to be published.
                            The little Mass book with pictures is pretty close to being done,
                            it is awesome, the coloring book for the Mass is being worked on.

                                There are also two more Mass books that could be easily
                            presented. In each Mass book there is a deeper and deeper view
                            given to help lead the soul into deeper oneness with Him in the
                            Mass. Greater depth about our union with God is revealed in these
                            writings.

                                There are also books about death. Father Carter said in the 
                            summer of 2000, Our Lord is really giving you a lot about
                            death. There were so many daily messages about death and
                            then dealing with death after Fr. Carter's death and being united 
                            more deeply with the soul that has passed on. There is information 
                            in the daily writing about having a deeper connection between us 
                            and the souls who have passed on.

                                Here is an excerpt from a message Our Lord wanted me to
                            include here.

  


   

Excerpt from August 2, 1999 message

Messenger:  I had a vision deep in my heart as I looked at my friend, Genevieve.  Before Mass at the funeral of a dear friend's husband, I saw her so beautiful there and felt deep in my heart her sorrow. I saw our Lady behind her and begged her for comfort for my friend. I saw Genevieve as a baby in the arms of our Lady and I knew George, her husband, as one who died as a baby also in the care of our Lady. Their lives flashed before me and I thought of the time when they were taken into God's family in a special way through Baptism and brought into the Church. Their lives flashed before me and it seemed so short: babies, married, children, and then an end, and a beginning, that for which we live for: life with Him in heaven for all eternity.

    I was very happy when at the gospel the priest read the gospel of Mary and Joseph taking Jesus to the temple. (Lk 2: 22-32 reference). The priest began:

   


   

Luke 2: 22-24

Jesus is presented in the Temple

And when the day came for them to be purified in keeping with the Law of Moses, they took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord--observing what is written in the Law of the Lord: Every first-born male must be consecrated to the Lord--and also to offer in sacrifice, in accordance with what is prescribed in the Law of the Lord, a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons.

  end of excerpt from August 2, 1999 message

   


     

Excerpt from October 31, 1999 message

Jesus speaks:  You see the leaves and the sunny days of summer, you know the seasons of the year.

You do not see the sign of the times in your lives.

The end could lurk around a crowded corner.

A busy woman, you say, one on the corner of town at lunch hour waiting to get to her office and fax so many orders, run her computer, talk on the cell phone on the way, and oh, isn't it important she runs so quickly and then a bus turns the corner and she is struck down. The faxes are never sent, the phone calls never made, the computer work is not accomplished. It has been said, "No one comes back to finish the tube of toothpaste when they are struck down forever." and how many arguments were had over putting on the lid and really who cares in the end.

What does she take with her, for even her body lies in the street. The pretty dress, the well combed hair, all lay in the street, a bloody mess, a body that dies at the impact.

December 30, 2001 message continues

Messenger:         Yesterday December 29, 2001 at the funeral Mass I had a deeper
                            realization of the connection between souls that have passed on
                            and all of us here. I felt this deep union in the Mass. With all of the
                            experiences I have had at All Saints, I can't even describe the whole
                            picture I saw at the funeral but I know so deeply the
reality of heaven
                            and earth and that deep connection in the Mass and I experience
                            it so vividly in a funeral Mass, but the depth of that relationship of
                            the priest with God and his disposition in the Mass seems to majorly
                           
effect my whole experience of the Mass.

                                It seems the more the priest is preoccupied or less involved in the
                            Mass because of some worry or preoccupation it effects my
                            experience at Mass.

                                I just want so deeply to be so united pleading from the depth of
                            my soul for grace to be outpoured from the Mass. I am very 
                           
sensitive to the way the priest offers the Mass. I want to be
                            deeply united in the Mass and offer the most pure
sacrifice.
                            At times, the Lord would give me such a desire to be so deep as
                            an intercessor, I cried so deep inside with the desire to plead so
                            for mercy and grace to be outpoured on the earth.

  

  

December 30, 2001 message continues

Messenger:             I wanted the words to be said with the greatest fervor—I was filled
                            with a grace to see so clearly. In that clarity I responded with the
                            greatest fervor. 

                                Oh Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world have
                            mercy on us.

                                When Father Carter said Mass he was so deeply united in the
                            Hearts of Jesus and
Mary pleading for the Reign of the Sacred Heart
                            to come very soon. I felt that deep desire to plead so fervently for
                            all the souls of the earth in the Mass.

                                I desired grace to reach all the souls. I desired so deeply that
                            they would make Jesus, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the King and
                            Center of their hearts.

                                I have experienced Him so deeply, I seek that deep union with
                            God in which truths are deeply revealed to me.

                                The disposition of the priest and his oneness with Jesus has
                            an impact on me in many Masses. I long for the priest who is so
                            identified with Christ in his whole being offering the Holy Sacrifice
                            of the Mass.

                                A priest reading the word can penetrate the heart of the people as a
                            two edged sword, the seed planted so deeply in the hearts of the
                            faithful.

                                My hungering is for Him and I love the Mass so much. I have a
                            deeper hungering all the time to experience God in a deeper union
                            in the Mass receiving new insights into the mysteries of His love.

                                I can go to Mass and have such knowledge of some mystery
                            imprinted on my soul—for example one insight might be how God
                            deserves so much love or how deeply I want to love Him, or how
                            being more deeply united to Jesus and Mary in the Mass can help
                            me offer a more pure sacrifice.

                                Oh it is just hard to express, my deep deep hungering for grace
                            to be outpoured on me in the Mass. I want to have that deep oneness
                            that I have had at Mass. I do not always receive favors where I
                           
cognitively know so many things. I long for the Mass, I want 
                            completeness in my soul. I can only have total satisfaction in
                            heaven.

                                Fullness of life!!

                                Oh how can we not listen to His plaintive
                                   cry to pray for our priests when they are so important
                            to us.

                                You can't even imagine a little how it will
                            be with fewer and fewer priests. So much grace
                            is outpoured on the world from one Mass.
                                Masses should be packed because of the
                            gifts given from God in the Mass.

                                How can we be so blind to pack a football
                            stadium and a rock-concert and not pack
                            the Church when Mass is celebrated. Why are
                            not more people spending time with Him
                            before the tabernacle?

                                I am a messenger and I deliver a message—
                            a warning—He can bring us to our knees
                            to get us to turn to Him. We need grace
                            poured out on the earth, it is the only
                            thing that will change things.

                                Fewer priests, more Churches closing,
                            less weekday Masses, very few Masses on
                            Saturday mornings, one priest in three parishes...

                                The devil is distracting people. God has
                            given us this great gift in the Eucharist.

                                The devil wants fewer and fewer priests.

                                I saw some pictures of Fr. Carter's ordination
                            39 years ago. There were lots of priests. When my
                            brother was made a priest in the sixties there were lots
                            of priests, there were lots of seminarians at
                            Mt. St. Mary's Seminary. Lots of them!! Do you think
                            God could be giving a sign when a corner falls off
                            an old seminary when the new seminaries are almost
                            empty? One corner falls off and Mary appears every day
                            for 14 months in the old seminary part of the time in
                            the remaining corner. Mary appeared to give messages
                            like this one about the Newsletter to help renew
                            the Church and the world and to tell us about prayer
                            chapters praying for our priests.

Messenger:         This world would be a different place.
                            Here is what Fr. Carter said about his own book
                                according to a Newspaper clipping in the
                                Catholic Telegraph after it came out,
                                the clipping was 1969
                            "Father Carter believes it is "the only systematic
                              comprehensive treatment of the spiritual
                              life to appear in English since the
                              termination of Vatican II."

                             Do you see the vision he had then. In 1969
                                he was talking about English, this first book
                                was then translated in 3 more languages. 
                                Here is his picture with that article. Another
                                book The Spirit is Present was translated in two 
                                languages.

Excerpt from December 28, 2001 message

Jesus speaks:           And I call and you tell me, "Oh God it is for another
                            day." And the days of your lives tick on like a well-wound clock.
                            They come, the morning, the evening, the morning, the evening and you
                            say, "oh another day will come and then I will answer His call—
                            I will be sure then, my children will be raised, my basement
                            finished, my clutter will be no more, I will have days to fit Him in,...
                            then when all my affairs are in order..."

                                And the winds came one day and took down the castle, built
                            on stone and the cherished memories, the keepsakes were but
                            scattered debris on the windy road.

                                Oh did it matter your red thread was lined up in the well ordered
                            closet, next to the blue and green? Did you have it all at your fingertips?
                            You have too much "stuff" in your closet. You spend the day long
                            organizing your old forgotten treasures. You worship men that
                            lived their lives on drink and some on sin, you recognize
                            your sports gods as idols, your treasures can float down
                            an embellished stream of crystal water, that has torn your
                            house apart with torrential rains. Oh is the water muddy?
                            Is it crystal clear? Is it filled with debris from the well
                            ordered houses of America?

                                I write to you of the commandments given to you on the
                            tablets of stone, so many years ago.

                                I ask you to see the rainbow.

Jesus speaks:         This life is passing, like a wind that can blow no good,
                            your life can go by so quickly and the question becomes this—
                            Did you store up treasures for heaven?

Jesus speaks:         Oh you worry about what men think and fail to see your
                            life as part of the big plan of your Father.

                            on and on and you cannot return to that day ever again.

                                The cold night of winter is warmed by the fire of the
                            stove and the fire of My Heart will warm all your
                            weary cares, but you walk away from the fire of
                            My love and go toward the ice castles that only leave
                            you frost bitten and feeling quite empty.

Jesus speaks:      the rains that pound down and destroy the crops.

                                There is a God above you that holds it all in place.
                            I watch you stumble and fall and I coax you to come
                            to My Heart for there is the treasure you seek.

                                A night of darkness,

                                A day of light,

                                Your world is filled with bells and whistles and beeps and
                            horns and you jump to answer every phone.

                                Do you jump when I call you?

                                Your children are falling down dead in the streets
                            and you fill them with a diet of promiscuity, you
                            parade promiscuous fashions before them.

                                My way is simple.

                                I call you to love.

                                I call you to genuinely lay down your lives for My
                            flock.

                                I call you to prayer and thanksgiving.

                                I call you to worship and to love your God.

                                I call you to sit by the little brook and to pray for
                            the Church and the world and to teach your little ones
                            about the Mass and the rosary.

Messenger:         DAYS GO BY SO QUICKLY

                            We aren't going to get satisfied here below,

                            we are on a hungry desert land and

Messenger:             Fr. Carter told me when he first started

                            helping me the Blue Books were as

                            He stood behind me and discerned

                                the writings as his own.

Messenger:        When Father got sick all summer (of 2000)
                                his stomach kept getting
                                bigger and bigger and he wasn't
                                eating hardly anything, but
                                I really noticed it when he was
                                dressing before Mass in tying his cincture.
                            His ankles were really swollen too.

Messenger:        He said Mass every day even the day he
                                went in the hospital September 19, 2000.
                            He said Mass late that Tuesday around 5:00 and then
                                went in the hospital.

                            The last three months a special
                                priest said Mass in the little
                                chapel for Fr. Carter almost everyday.
                                He wheeled him in and then the
                                priest celebrated Mass for Fr. Carter.

Excerpt from December 28, 2001 message

Jesus speaks:           And I call and you tell me, "Oh God it is for another
                            day." And the days of your lives tick on like a well-wound clock.
                            They come, the morning, the evening, the morning, the evening and you
                            say, "oh another day will come and then I will answer His call—
                            I will be sure then, my children will be raised, my basement
                            finished, my clutter will be no more, I will have days to fit Him in,...
                            then when all my affairs are in order..."

                                And the winds came one day and took down the castle, built
                            on stone and the cherished memories, the keepsakes were but
                            scattered debris on the windy road.

                                Oh did it matter your red thread was lined up in the well ordered
