Messenger:

Dear Apostles,

    I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love.
Today we pray for peace for ourselves and our families.
God the Father said we should write to Him and tell Him
how thankful we are for His gifts.

    The devil can fill our heads with many negative things.
In writing to God the Father and focusing on positive things it
can help change our lives.

    With the new year beginning tomorrow 2002 it is a new
year to focus on God and how much we love Him and how
truly dependent we are on Him.

    We are little children, we do not know it all. We are here
to learn to be more like Jesus. Our pride gets in, even in
dealing with ourselves, and we think we can do things
ourselves. We need God to help us. We are totally dependent on
Him.

    We have all Three Persons to help us. Our Father is our loving
God, we go to Him as a little child, we are docile and
humble, we are dependent on Him.

    The Holy Spirit can fill our hearts filled with fire for love
of God and love of all men. We need to be constantly asking
the Holy Spirit to flood us with God's grace. We need to ask
Him to move in us.

    We are filled with such love for God and others. We ask
God for the grace to act more and more loving, we ask for the grace
to be consumed with God's love.

    We aren't down here to depend on ourselves.

    Our beloved Jesus is our spouse. We know how
attentive a beloved spouse is. Jesus is always with
us.

    The devil wants us to feel divided, the devil wants us
to focus on things negatively and not feel good. The
devil wants us to worry what others are thinking
about us.

    God gives us the Prayer for Union with Jesus.

  

Prayer for Union With Jesus

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling in me.
    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of The Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

       
December 31, 2001 message continues

Messenger:  

                         Life is a series of trials sometimes. We want to
                   do what Jesus wants us to do. Saying the Prayer for Union with
                   Jesus can help us to act the way He wants us to, as
                   He acts in us.

    Sometimes our life may seem as a series of
little trials we have to endure. We identify with Him
in His passion and sufferings. Sometimes many
things are pleasant, but just take patience and
love. We want to enjoy the gift in
each moment. Many times we miss the joy of the moment. The
devil wants us to be miserable. God wants us to be
a light. The devil wants us to be under a dark cloud,
he wants us to think everything is falling apart
or not right. Jesus shows us His passion and death,
He gives us His life so we can model our life after
His. In death there is the resurrection. Our life can
be days of patient endurance, taking care of elderly
and children and loving them. God wants parents
to take care of their children. We get lots of grace
doing God's will in love.

    Tomorrow will be a new year. We can begin by using
our prayers. Saying the Morning Offering can help
bring down great grace. We offer everything we do
to the Father as an offering of love. We want our deeds
to be loving. Our life is an offering we give to God.
United to the Mass it can help to bring down so
much grace.   

    Please stay united in prayer all day praying 
        for 6 urgent intentions and all our needs.

Messenger:           I hurt my foot so there were some days I couldn't
                                go to Mass.

                    I missed the Mass so very much.

                    Today we celebrated the vigil feast of Mary, Mother of God.
                        Mary is so real to me and I love her so deeply.
                        It isn't like I think of Jesus and Mary and
                        then think, oh I love them, inside my love
                        is so great it just is, I am filled with
                        emotion and joy because I love them so
                        much.

                    My love for Mary is so deep. I see her appearing
                        to her children in Florida with such
                        love. I know Mary's deep love for her
                        children. I feel her with us in a
                        special way no matter where we are in
                        the world.

                    Anyone who looks at her image is given a
                        special grace to know her love (including
                        looking at pictures).
                        Our Lord has told me to write this.
                        The image picture is given that her
                        children all over the world will look
                        at her image and know more how much
                        their Mother Mary loves them.

                    I feel that deep love she has for all of the
                        children. I feel her presence with us in a
                        special way by  her constant appearance
                        in Florida.

                    The significance of her image as she appears
                        in Florida is very great.
                    She appears to lead the children into the light.
                    Her beloved Spouse the Holy Spirit works to flood
                        those children who call on Mary as their mother
                        with grace and light.

                    This is a promise that God has made in this
                        message today.

                    God the Father desires that we love Mary so much
                        as our Mother and that we honor her.

                    God the Father says that the Holy Spirit will
                        flood those children who love and
                        honor Mary as their mother with
                        light and grace.

                    The devil wants us unhappy.

                    The devil wants us to feel guilty and ugly
                        and unloved.

                    God the Father loved us so much He sent His only
                        begotten Son to us and He gives us
                        this precious gift of Jesus truly
                        present in the Eucharist.

                    Oh God, thank You for the Mass.
                    Oh God thank You for this most precious
                        gift and for our priests.

                    As the days go by in the new year 2002 let
                        us be sensitive to the message I
                        received today.

                    God the Father said for those children who
                        honor and love Mary as their Mother
                        the Holy Spirit will flood their souls
                        with grace and light.

                    God the Father said special healing graces will
                        be given to those who ask and gaze at
                        Mary's image picture and also for those
                        honoring Mary at her site in Clearwater,
                        Florida.

                    God the Father said for this special feast of
                        Mary, Mother of God He gives to us
                        the following promises.

                    Children honoring their Mother Mary
                        will be especially favored by
                        Him and receive special graces
                        for doing so.

God the Father speaks: 

                                    I desire the image photos of Mary
                                        as she appears in Clearwater, Florida
                                        be circulated all over the world.

                                    On this feast of Mary, Mother of God,
                                        I promise that great grace will be
                                        granted to those honoring Mary
                                        and gazing at her image as
                                        she appears there.

                                    The rainbow must remind you of the
                                        covenant that God will not
                                        destroy the whole earth ever
                                        again by flood.

God the Father speaks: 

                                    The rainbow must remind you of
                                        God's unending love for you,
                                        God's creatures.

                                    You are My child, My chosen child.
                                        Your Mother Mary appears to warn
                                        the children of the human
                                        race that they are offending God
                                        and they must change their ways.

                                    Mary is the Mother of all of her children.
                                        Mary is Queen of the Universe.
                                        Mary is the Mother of Peace,
                                            Queen of Peace, Mother of all children
                                                of the world.

                                    When you pray as a little humble child of
                                        Mary, pray and recognize
                                        Mary as your mother, you will
                                        receive special graces of healing,
                                        the Holy Spirit will flood your
                                        soul with light and grace.

  


  

Luke 2: 16-21

    So they hurried away and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. When they saw the child they repeated what they had been told about him, and everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds said to them. As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as they had been told.

The circumcision of Jesus

    When the eighth day came and the child was to be circumcised, they gave him the name Jesus, the name the angel had given him before his conception.

Mary speaks:      Oh make haste you shepherds, do not stop
                                        until you have reached all my children.
                                    I call you to come to me as your mother.
                                    I call you to know a mother's love.
                                    I call you, to take you to the love found
                                        in the Heart of my Son Jesus.
                                    There you will find favor with your Father.
                                    In honoring me as your heavenly mother
                               you find favor with your Father
                               for it is His desire you do so.

                                        Oh children of Israel harken to the cry
                                    of your heavenly mother who appears
                                    to warn you of the fate of some
                                    who have disobeyed and continue
                                    to offend your heavenly Father.

                                    How oh children of Israel do we reach you,

                                    Your Father is love.
                                    Your Father is God.
                                    My children, God is love.
                                    My children on this my special feast
                                        do not lose heart, help me.

Messenger:         The little cottage was humble and clean,
                                        the curtain hung so sweetly from the
                                        windows.

                                    You could smell the aroma of fresh
                                        pies baking.
                                    It was that of apple pie.
                                    Oh but Eve ate of the apple, she
                                        could not obey the Father and
                                        so many years later with all the
                                        gifts given by God, why do we
                                        give into the temptation to
                                        indulge in those things that offend
                                        our God.

                                    God wants us to love each other and to be
                                        happy.
                                    God gives us the commandments to follow.
                                    Following the commandments will make
                                        us happy.

                                    Disobeying the commandments will make
                                        us suffer.

                                    Oh Father, our beloved Father impart to us
                                        Your wisdom. Help us to know the
                                        way to follow. Help us to follow
                                        our Savior, the Divine God.

God the Father speaks: 

                                    But I give you your loving Mother to help
                                        you grow in the spiritual life.
                                        She is the singular vessel.
                                        She is Mary your Mother, Mother of God.

                                    And some are so prideful they think
                                        that they do not need Mary as
                                        their Mother.
                                    Mary is the Mother of God and some
                                        lowly human creatures think they
                                        do not need Mary.

Messenger:         The Mass was so powerful this late afternoon for
                                        this special feast.
                                    Father Carter always said "Happy Feast" as a
                                        greeting on special feast days.

                                    Our Lord gave me tremendous grace during this
                                        Mass on this special feast and God the
                                        Father spoke to me and gave me these
                                        special promises.

                                    I felt the deepest intimacy with God in this
                                        Mass and I never wanted it to end.
                                    On this special feast God blessed us
                                        with this special message.

                                    God is so good to us.

God the Father speaks: 

                                    The gift I give to you is the Mass.
                                        I want you to circulate My little book
                                        of pictures on the Mass so children
                                        and adults will love the Mass this
                                        year more and more and more.

                                    I want My children to want to go to Mass.
                                        I want them to profess their love to Me in the
                                        Mass. They should say "Oh God I love You so much." 
                                        I want your hearts to be filled with the deepest
                                        emotion and love for God and for you to
                                        say over and over again
                                       "Oh God, I love You so much.
                                         I want this deep union with You.
                                         I want this deep union forever.
                                         Oh God, Oh God, I love You,
                                         I love You so much."

                                    I want you to have a heart consumed with love
                                        on fire for your God.
                                    I want you to long for the Mass.
                                    I want you to thirst after the Mass.
                                    I want you to be so united to Me
                                        in the Mass.

Messenger:         It isn't like we can quit working and just
                                        sit around and pray.
                                    Our offering of love to Our Father is our
                                        lives offered united to the Mass.

Jesus speaks:     Try this, close your eyes turn off
                                        the lights in a room.
                                    Try to make the room very quiet.

                                    How do you feel in the darkness and
                                        in the quietness?

                                    Do you feel peace and joy and good
                                        inside to be alone with God.

                                    Can you be alone?

                                    Do you know that I never leave
                                        you, I am always with you.

                                    You must meditate on God's love for
                                        you.

                                    I will forgive you for your sins if
                                        you ask for
                                        forgiveness for your sins and say you are
                                        sorry for your sins.

                                    Go to confession.
                                    Tell the priest.

                                    Say you are sorry when you sin.

                                    You will not feel good inside
                                        if you continue
                                        ignoring your God.

                                    I came in a little town in Bethlehem,
                                        Born of the Virgin Mary,
                                    I came a little baby,
                                        filled with love for you.

                                    I love you so much.

                                    Pray not to be tempted.

                                    Go to Mass.
                                    Sit before the tabernacle.
                                    You will receive lots of grace.

                                    I love you so much,
                                        I am Jesus, your Savior.

                                    Would anyone want to help circulate
