R. On December 5, 1996, Our Lordappeared to me at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church, after Mary had appeared on most of the 5ths since July 5, 1994. Our Lord now appeared, dying on the cross.

His withered body was horrifying to me. I cried and looked at Him in horror. This lasted about twenty minutes. It looked as if He could exert no effort, but His jaw moved and moved and moved. It was a big movement as His mouth moved. I heard no words. I was sickened.

I was horrified at the sight of His weakness, the vision I saw and I cried from the depth of my soul as I watched I could hardly stand it.

It was in the church, Holy Cross-Immaculata. He appeared on this crucifix. It was horrifying for me. I was in such anguish and tears. I know this experience so well, He implanted it in my soul. This was after Mary appeared for 2 years and 4 months on the 5ths. Jesus appeared on the 2 1/2 year anniversary on the crucifix.

At the traditional rosary (I had done them now for 2½ years of 5ths) that evening at 6:30 with all the Shepherds of Christ people there, He said He moved His mouth because no one was listening.

This was December 5, 1996, after all those visits of Mary on the 5ths when very few came and listened.

Mary did not appear. Jesus is handling it. He is speaking in the rosaries and in the Blue Book messages.

In the year 1996 Mary began to speak less and less in the live rosary messages because she said people were notlistening.

I wish you would envision our Lord at the point of death as I saw Him December 5, 1996. See the weakened body, see the body of a full size Man in anguishing pain, see a Man dying on the cross, nailed to the cross by our sins. 12/5/96

 

 

December 5, 1996 Rosary

12 days before Mary appeared at Clearwater, Florida on the building.

Mary appeared on the 5ths for 2 1/2 years. (July 5, 1994 - October 5, 1996) So I went December 5th, 1996. Instead of Mary appearing, Jesus appeared. Jesus appeared at the point of death on the cross at Holy Cross-Immaculata in the afternoon close to 12 noon.

 

Live Rosary with Rita Ring

Song: Come Holy Spirit

R. This rosary is for the spread of the rosary throughout the world, for the publication and circulation of these rosary meditations. Please pray fervently that the rosaries as we receive tonight can be published. For if you could share the rosaries that we are given each day you would see the treasure that He truly imparts to us when He gives us these rosaries. We must pray for this. This is what Mary has asked us to pray for and to help spread the rosaries and the consecrations to the schools, to help to get this children’s rosary book published with the Imprimatur, to help the circulation of these live rosaries, especially to the apostles so that they will help carry the message of His love to the world. We also pray for the Holy Spirit Center and we pray for our Centers. We pray especially for the new Center, for the funding. That this will be a Center of circulation in which many people will know the love of God through all the materials that we have. We pray especially for the funding. We ask you that you send to us the people that will give us the money to help us finance the Centers so that we canhave days of recollection there, so that we can continue to circulate these messages to the world. We pray fervently from our hearts in this rosary.

Jesus: I am alive, I am alive. I am alive. My beloved ones, I show you My face. Do you see the body of a man? Do you see Me alive on the cross? I am speaking to you but the world does not hear. They do not hear the message that I deliver to them. You must pray fervently. You must come to Me that I can be one in you and that I can operate through you as you go into the world this day. I love you. I love you with the most tender love. I am Jesus. I am alive. You are My main soldiers that I will send into the world to lead the strayed ones to My Heart.

The days ahead will be dark days. You must come to My Heart and take shelter in My Heart. It is there that you will be rooted on a firm rock. For My Heart is your home. You will not know the terrors of the night if you stay rooted in My Heart.

Division is blackness in the heart. You must not be divided, divided from anyone. You must remain in union with all men. You must see yourselves as part of the Father’s family. Each one of you is so important to the Father’s plan.

R. Holy Spirit come to us and fill our hearts with the fire of God’s love. Help us to unite in this rosary. To unite with one another and with the hearts of Jesus and Mary. Help us to see ourselves as one happy family. The Father’s happy family rooted in love in which there is not any bumping of heads but there is harmony, love and respect for each other.

Jesus: I have called you by name My beloved ones. You I have called to this house. You are My chosen ones. You will lead the light across the earth. You must look to this wider vision. Do not give into the tauntings of satan to stop you. I have called you. I have called you by name.

Rita: This Rosary was in my house.

 

Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

1. R. The Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and asked her to be the Mother of God.

2. John 1: 14

The Word became flesh, he lived among us, and we saw his glory, the glory that he has from the Father as only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.

3. R. Jesus wants us to be one in Him. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are One.

Excerpt from Response to God’s Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God’s fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

At the destined moment in human history, God’s selfexpression, the Word, immersed himself into man’s world. God’s inner self-expression now had also become God’s outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.

end of excerpt

R. The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit are One. We are to be one in God.

Luke 1: 35

The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God.

R. For Jesus was in the womb of the Virgin Mary and she is a human person. Divinity unites with humanity in the womb of the Virgin Mary and they are one. God is one with man. Jesus, dwelling within the body of Mary. Jesus is the Almighty God.

4. R. So to show us this concept of oneness we see how God comes within the body of a human person. Jesus, a Divine Person, with two natures - a human nature and a Divine nature.

5. R. How much more intimate can we become than a babe within the womb of their mother? God wants to be one in us. He wants to give us a sharing in His life. Jesus comes into this world. Jesus gives Himself and Jesus died on the cross, and rose on the third day, that we will be able to have a special sharing in His life. God wants us one in Him. God wants unity among His people. We do not see this in our churches for the people sit in the pews and they are so separate from each other. We do not see this in the family as we did on Thanksgiving. For our families are divided and they speak of superficial things. We do not see the connection of the true family, of the oneness, the connection within our hearts as God wants. This is what God wants. He wants us to be in one mind and one heart.

Jesus: And you My beloved ones will lead this light across the earth as you are joined in one mind and one heart in this movement, especially in this prayer group. You are My core leaders to send the messages of My love to the world. There will be unity. There will be one flock and one Shepherd and you will lead this light across the earth to the far corners of the earth. But you must have this vision within you. You must know that I am speaking to you. You must not doubt and give in to any confusion of satan to divide you or to make you doubt. You must believe that you are a part of this vision to send My light across this earth, to help spread unity.

6. R. We are one body, one body in Him. Think of the hand and the foot on the body. The hand does not hate the foot. The foot does not hate the eye. The eye does not hate the ear. It all functions and works perfectly so that the body can operate. We are one body in Him. We cannot have any  division within us. He gave me a message this week on December 1st, and He said that the only ones that will remain especially in this group are the ones that remain in love in one mind and one heart. That any division between us would cause such tremendous pain within our hearts, such darkness within our hearts. He is expecting great things of us. He is expecting us to be immensely one. That we will have the strength of dwelling in His Heart and that He will live in us and carry the messages of His love into this world. That His life will flow through us particularly in this Mass on December the 14th. Think of the oneness in this Mass as we all are one in the celebration of the Mass, as Fr. Carter celebrates the Mass. That the immensity of God’s grace will flow there and that we will be united in such intensity and oneness. He has called us together on the 13th in a special way to unite. If you cannot be there you must pray ferventlyand feel connected to us in your heart at that time. For He is giving to us a special grace to be very one with each other. In this oneness rooted in Their Hearts, His grace will flow and we will spread His light across the earth.

7. R. I suffered on Thanksgiving for the families that are sodivided. The Father looks to the earth and He wants a family as the Holy Family. Look at Jesus and Mary and Joseph and the oneness between them. Look at our families today. Many do not even talk to one another. They are not rooted in their hearts. We must spread this consecration to the family, that families will be one in their heart as they consecrate their hearts together to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

8. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet

R. Jesus Christ is nailed to the cross. Do you see that man on the cross? Do you see His hands? A real man. See Him vividly before you. And watch His mouth move. What are the words that He speaks to us? And why did He choose today to do this? For Mary has appeared on the 5th of everymonth ever since July 5th of 1994. And today she doesn’t appear. But Jesus appeared on the cross and He spoke. His mouth moved but no words come out.

9. Jesus: You are deaf and you are dumb for you do not hear the words that I speak, My beloved world. You have clogged your ears and you’ve turned your head the other way. And your children are murdered in the streets and within the womb of their mother. I am Jesus. I speak and no one hears.

10. Jesus: A baby is a baby from the first moment of conception and no man has the right to take the life that the Father has placed within a child.

Song: Come Holy Spirit

Jesus: I am alive. I am alive. I am alive. And I live in you.

 

The Visitation

1. Song: Spirit Song

R. God so loved the worldthat He sent His only Son into the world.

2. R. Jesus told me to turn the head of the baby Jesus statue around. You see the profile of the baby. We see the little baby in the arms of His Mother. And we see the profile of the grown man that came and gave His life for love of us.

3. R. A baby, a man, God-made-Man in the womb of a humanperson. Divinity unites with humanity within the womb of a human person.

4. Jesus: Your feeble minds cannot comprehend My ways butI have imparted to you, My chosen ones, insights into My Divine mysteries. Open your heart and I will fill you with My Divine love.

5. Jesus: You are so limited in your vision that you do not realize that I truly speak to you. You want signs and you want wonders but you know in your heart when you read the Word of God how alive I truly am in those words. For I have given to you My life and I have shared insight into the mysteries of this life in these rosaries. You must thank the great God above for the great gifts I am giving to you. I have given to you these gifts because of My immense love for you, My chosen ones. I give to you great gifts for I am expecting great things of you. I give but you must give to Me.

6. R. Mary carried the child Jesus, within her womb. And Mary went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth. We see the ordinariness of the lives of Jesus and Mary. We see the simplicity in the lives. But look at the world today. Is there simplicity in the lives of the people that are living today?

7. Jesus: I come to you and I give you My love. I give you great gifts and I am rejected. I am treated indifferently and hated. I give to you Myself in the Eucharist. I am longing and I am thirsting for you to come and to look at Me and to tell Me how you love Me. I want to hear the love from your mouth. I want you to tell Me how much you love Me. So few souls come to Me and give Me their heartfelt love. You must pray that you will love Me more and more. I am longing for you. I am a Person. I want to be loved. I came into this earth a little baby. I am love. I want to be loved by you. Nothing will fill your soul but My love. The world has lead so many astray. They do not even come to Me and talk to Me and tell Me of their love. Will you come to Me? Will you give Me love? I want you to love Me.

8. Song: Spirit Song

Jesus: I am alive. I am alive. I am alive. And I am treated as a dead object. Will you go into this world and tell the world that I am alive and I am longing for their love. I give to you My beloved ones My undying love.

9. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet

R. Today when I had that vision and I looked at Jesus as He hung on the cross, my face I know was grief stricken with pain to watch a real person hanging on the cross.

10. R. But the thing that caused me to just be so absorbed in it afterwards for several hours was the fact that His mouth just kept moving and I didn’t know what He was saying. But we really know what He is saying because He’s given us all these messages. This is what He is saying. It’s just that people are not hearing Him. So we must be His mouth and we must speak louder for the time is urgent and there are many souls this day that are suffering and are going to hell. And there are many souls that need these messages like the lady that was going to take the plane to go somewhere else to kill herself. And the Blue Book made a difference in her life.

Song: Come Holy Spirit

 

The Birth of Our Lord

1. R. I couldn’t figure out if I was to do the Joyful Mysteries on this 5th, why Jesus would show me Himself hanging on the cross.

2. R. At the Holy Spirit Center, I see the windows as I go down the middle aisle. And as I am walking on the one side I see the birth of the child Jesus. And on the other side I see the full grown body of a man ascending into heaven.

3. R. It’s the Father’s plan that Jesus would come, that Hewould die, that he would rise and that we would receive a sharing in His Divine life through baptism. We see the Father’s plan in His life. But do we see the Father’s plan in our life? For it is in the readings everyday at Mass that I see how this era of peace is talked about in all of the readings. And that it will come. We are a major part in bringing about this era of peace. The Shepherds of Christ Movement is an instrument that Our Lord had planned from all time to lead the strayed ones back to His Heart. He has allowed theworld to go to such vileness. He has allowed men to destroy themselves with so many ill deeds. And He will reach down and He will lift them up and He will take them to good grazing ground in the Church where they will be fed with His very Body and His Blood. We are being fed with His Body and Blood today. But so many are blind. They do noteven know. They talk in front of the tabernacle. They are so blind. They do not know that the Almighty God is there, that they receive Him. It is in these intimate moments after Communion that He imparts to us this knowledge of Himself, we are one with God. He gives us great love and people run from the church. They are blind. They do not see.  And I hear Jesus call this out. But He has lifted the veil forus and He is showing to us things that He has only revealed to the greatest saints. The Reign of the Sacred Heart is now. It is in our hearts because we are rooted in His Heart. The Reign of the Sacred Heart will come soon for the world in this era of peace. But we are the leaders that will lead these people into this era of peace. They are blind. They do not see. We must be patient and loving and kind and thank the Almighty God for everything that we know truly is a grace because of His goodness and He has chosen us for this special mission and given to us the grace to see far beyond anyone could ever imagine even the greatest saints.

4. R. Abundant grace will be outpoured on the earth. Priests’ hearts need to be consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and celebrate the Mass. This grace is a grace that will flow into men’s hearts and will feed them. We must pray for our beloved priests.

5. R. Picture the little Jesus in the crib in Bethlehem, surrounded by the little sheep. Picture Jesus and the star above His bed. He is the light of the world. He comes to light the world with His love. 2000 years later look at our world and see how they have treated the great gift that God has come and given to them. He has imparted to us a wider vision. He has lifted the veil. We are more aware of the great gift He gives to us in the Holy Eucharist. The time is urgent. For Mary says she cannot hold back the hand of her Son any longer. Look at the picture of the Holy Family. This is how our family should be. Families of love. Families rooted in our hearts. Families of gentleness and kindness. Families of caring. But how are our families today? They are separate. They are angry. They are divided. They are not loving families. They talk about the weather and the shoes and the socks and they don’t talk about their feelings and what they feel in their hearts. This is not the way of God. God wants us to be one in our hearts.

6. R. We will lead this concept of the family across the earth. That is our mission. He is giving to us this vision. He has given to us a special grace that we can be deeply united in our hearts with one another. When I see the people in this room, my heart is just filled with love. I know this connection as soon as I see someone. This is a great gift that He has given to us. The gift to love deeply. To love each other with this deep love.

7. R. Jesus is the King of all Kings. Jesus came into the world a little Child. Jesus is a King. And the Kingdom of God is at hand. We are to lead people to the Kingdom of God.

8. R. God’s Kingdom is not based on gold and silver. God’s Kingdom is based on treasures far greater than that. God’s Kingdom is based on Divine love. Jesus came into the world in such poverty to show us that the real riches are not the riches of gold and silver but the real riches are the ones that we carry within our heart. The legacy that we pass down to our children to give our children hearts of love not material things, but to give them love.

9. R. We see the Genealogy in the Bible. Jesus makes it quite clear how family is so important. We are the family of God. God is our Father. Mary is our Mother. Jesus is our brother. We are one in Him.

10. Hail Mary

 

The Presentation in the Temple

1. R. The devil tries to divide us. We are the root of this movement. We are the ones that must be one. I got a message that said that the devil would try to divide the core group. I didn’t understand it. It can be different things. I don’t know what Jesus means. It could mean that the devil would try to make us mad at each other and we would be divided that way. It would mean that we could talk about one another and we would divide that way. Because whenever we talk about each other we divide ourselves. It could also mean that we could be moving around a lot and the devil would try to work that to divide us. I don’t know what Jesus meant. But since we are so crucial to the Shepherds of Christ movement, Jesus said that the devil will attempt to divide us. I’m not sure exactly what He means.

2. R. I felt divided in my heart and Jesus was very angry with me that I felt divided in my heart. And He wrote me a message and He told me how we cannot be divided especially in this group. That it tears His Heart apart as a sword severing His Heart apart when we are divided. We must work against division. We must stay one with each other. It is so hard for there are millions of devils that are attempting to divide us because of the importance of our mission. Husbands will be divided against wives. Daughters against mothers because the devil wants to take away the power that is found when we are united in our hearts. Any division weakens us and creates a negative energy that flows through our body.

3. R. Stand beneath the cross as Mary stood beneath the cross and looked at her Son. And a sword too shall pierce your heart O Mary.

4. R. Any division is very displeasing to Our Lord. One time He allowed me to suffer such immense suffering and when I got finished suffering, He said this is how you made Me suffer for being divided with your brother.

5. R. And why is Jesus being our special teacher? Because we are His apostles of love. We can only operate in love. How can we carry love to the far ends of the earth if we are not loving ourselves. We must pray with all our heart that our every action is an action that will be likened to His.

6. R. Jesus is serious. Jesus is really serious. Are we really serious? Do we really want to put aside the pride that’s in our hearts? Do we want to put aside the anger that we feel sometimes? Do we want to really act like Christ? God wants us to be Christ in this world to one another. And God wants others to know Him through us. To be the leaders that God is calling in this immense mission. We must be this way. We must go to confession as frequently as possible that we will be pure in our hearts. And we must confess the sins that are giving us the greatest problem. So that we face the problem and we can grow from this.

7. R. It is in this purity of heart that we unite with Him in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and He shares His immense love with us. And we go forth knowing His love. How He loves us and He wants us to love each other and carry this message out to the world.

8. Hail Mary
9. Hail Mary
10. Hail Mary

Song: Come Holy Spirit

 

The Finding of the Lord Jesus in the Temple

1. R. The greatest agony is division with Jesus. When we are divided with any one person in our heart, we are divided from Jesus for He wants us united. When a house is divided it will fall. Marriages divided can easily end in divorce. Communities divided will never stand, Jesus says.

2. R. Jesus was lost in the temple.

3. R. How many people today are lost? They have lost their way. They are divided from Jesus. They choose to be divided with their spouse, not care about love example given to children. It is easy to divorce because of division and selfishness.

4. R. I read an excerpt from one of the rosaries where I readsomething from a book that Jesus told me to take. And it talked about the children at Fatima and how they had seen these shriveled brown souls in hell. And it was so vile I couldn’t believe how awful it was. But Mary showed that to the children to let them know that hell truly exists. For 9 months Mary cried out how the souls were going to hell because of their sins.

5. From Fatima Peace Plan — Tan Books p. 4-5.

July 13, 1917 - THE CHILDREN SEE HELL

“During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answerto Lucia’s plea, promised that in October she wouldwork a great public miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: “O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.”

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.”

6. R. God has given to us this great gift to be one in Him in a special way. God has given to us an immense gift, an immense grace that we will be united as some of the greatest saints have been united to Him. But we can only be united to Him in immense purity. We must go to confession frequently. We must confess our sins. And we cannot bedivided with one another. For any division, especially when we talk about each other, it divides us from Jesus and it displeases Him so much.

7. Jesus: You are My soldiers of love. I am asking You to look at My face. To see My face. I look to the heavens above to My Father. My Father loves you My beloved ones. You have a Father that loves you. You must live your lives always trying to please Him. You must not be divided from your brothers. You must not give in to the temptations of satan to fill your hearts with any bitterness or anger for it will divide you from Me.

8. Jesus: I am pleading with you to love. I spread My arms andI gave My all on the cross. I am asking you to love this much that you would lay your lives down for each other. That you will spread your arms and that you will love one another. I am guarding you. In your every breath I am with you. You must feel sure that I am so close to you. Your must read the Blue Book messages everyday. Read at least one message a day. And listen to these rosaries. For satan will press on you and try to get you to quit. You must not give into him. You must go to the tabernacle and spend time alone with Me every day. If you cannot go to the tabernacle go to your room and spend quiet moments with Me. Go to daily Mass and Communion and pray the rosary. I am calling you to this immense mission. You do not know the immensity of your calling. I have called you by name. I beg you to listen to Me. Do you hear My voice? Do you see My mouth move? So many do not hear for they do their own wills. I will speak through you and I will spread My messages of love to this world as you spread My Blue Books to the world. These are My messages of love. You must not be afraid. Think of the souls of 18 year olds that are black in sin. The children are the sickest of all for the parents are teaching the children sick lessons. This is serious. Are you serious? Will you help Me spread My message of love to this world. My voice has been silenced. If you do not speak who will speak My words to the world? I am asking you to carry the messages in the Blue Book and the rosaries to this world. This is My Mighty Medicine to heal the wounds on the wounded hearts. I will heal their wounds with My love. I have written the messages of My love on your hearts. This is your calling to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of My Mother’s Heart. I have given to you these messages. You are My messengers. Will you spread these messages to the world? You must live by these messages yourselves. I am alive and I live in you. This is My calling My beloved ones. How will you answer Me? I give to you the Plan of God – will you answer?

Song: I Have Called You By Name

Jesus: I am alive. I am alive. I am alive. You are My apostles. I have called each one of you by name. Each one of you so important to My Heart.

9. Jesus: I call you to work together in love for the building of My Kingdom.

10. Jesus: Operate to do God’s will - not to be willful and selfish – A house divided against itself will not stand. God’s will is to obey those over you - to work in structure in love for the building of My Kingdom. I died for the man living to prove he is right when he is wrong, when he should have lived to do God’s will and be a servant. The devil works in pride and argumentation. Eve’s first sin was to try to challenge God - she was divided with God. Eve wanted to be equal to God. Eve was given a Garden in Paradise. Eve was prideful – she wanted to be equal to God. She listened to satan because she was prideful.

Song: From the Day You Were Born

Hail Holy Queen

Memorare
 

Excerpt from Blue Book III - Listen of My Intense Love - April 22, 1994 (excerpt) - At Father Joza’s Church

Jesus: My dear child, write to Me. You must write when I call you to write. Put yourself into a smoke screen. We are alone. Feel My presence. Forget the world and let go totally to Me. Do not focus on anyone but Me. See My suffering face. See Me, My child, and know of My love for each person. I am so ardently in love with each and every one. When you focus on My crucifixion you will become closer and closer to Me. See My face, dying on the cross. I am the Son of God. You are My beloved one.

Think only of Me. Block out all those around you and be with Me. This is a place to pray to Me. Any distractions are not your problem. Be alone, be with Me, entirely alone and in union with Me. Block out all that is around you. You can writeon a plane - anywhere. You must harken to Me when I call you. Listen to My intense love for you. Be alone with Me now. I love you.

end of excerpt

R. Life in the Garden was a Paradise!

Work was seen in the garden as a gift of working with God in love and happiness.

In the garden there was “original justice.”

The world was in perfect harmony, between human beings, man and woman, man and creation.
 

God told them not to eat of the “tree of knowledge of good and evil”.

Eve wanted to be equal to God - Eve put herself over God - she disobeyed God.

Eve claimed her independence of God.

Eve refused to accept her creaturehood under God.

Original sin shows one’s lack of respect for one’s dependence on the Creator.

Isaiah 5: 20

Woe to those who call what is bad,
good, and what is good, bad,
who substitute darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who substitute bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.

R. Humans today choosing what is right and wrong without recognizing God!!

God made man and woman as the crowning glory of creation.
Man was over the animals.
Man talked to God, named the animals.
Man was made as a reflection of God’s love.
God made man and woman to love each other and have children - to be help mates.

We see the love between the Persons of the Trinity and God so loved the world He sent Jesus - the Son of God - our Savior.

The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in aperfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God’s fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

At the destined moment in human history, God’s selfexpression, the Word, immersed himself into man’s world. God’s inner self-expression now had also become God’s outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.

R. God put Adam in a deep sleep.

Creation is a mystery.

Eve is taken from the rib of Adam.

Woman is a creature like Adam and she is to share and be a help mate to him.

Man and woman are called to marriage - a life of self giving.

Genesis 2: 24

This is why a man leaves his father and mother and becomes attached to his wife, and they become one flesh.

R. Women and men are to have a special relationship. In the garden there was no shame.

They were naked. Jesus died on the cross bare.

January 5, 1997

R. On January 5, 1997, I was wakened by Our Lord and He

was mumbling as He was around my bed as He did on October 8, 1997, when He delivered the “Seedless, Barren, No Fruit on the Vine” message.

I heard Him and He repeated the words over and over again. I had a copy of the all-night message on the floor, I jumped from the bed and began to write around the message, for it was the only paper available and He was speaking very plainly and direct. I wrote this message in the margins of the paper. He kept repeating “BABY, BARE BABY, LAID BARE”.

Jesus: Open yourself, Oh Jerusalem, your time is come you will be a light to the people in darkness, many will walk whence you come and the earth will be shakened and the light will come across a dark sky and enlighten their minds.

Oh stiff-necked people, you are so stiff in your ways, let the spirit envelope you and lead you on your way.

A country of stiffs, a people of planning and prodding, of deliberating and wondering — you lack faith, Jerusalem, you lack faith in God.

Oh walk naked into the cold night, you are cold in your hearts and naked in your clothing — I cloth you with glory, I light your face with light, but you turn your cheeks to the darkness and stay stiff-necked in your hearts. Oh cold and dark hearts, reach for the light that you may know the glory that awaits the sinners and enlightens their minds.

end of excerpt

R. Shame entered the world when man fell.

Pride, envy, covetousness, lust entered the world.

These sins are the source of shame.
 

The devil is cunning.

The devil tries to make good to look evil, and evil to look good.

Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s command.

The world was ordered and harmonious.

Now sin entered the world - the world was then, disordered and unharmonious.

Adam and Eve rebelled against God.

Evil is portrayed by satan under the deception of being good.

Adam chose himself over God.

Adam rebelled against a good God.

Adam was seduced by the devil.

Adam wanted to be like God - independent of God.

Sin is wanting to be independent of God, that is To make decisions independent of God.

Consenting to the temptations of satan – sin is revealed – There is disharmony in the world and lack of order in the world because of sin.

Now we see the evil, lust, pride, envy, jealousy have entered the world.

Man sees God distortedly –
Man sees others distortedly
Man sees himself distortedly

This distorted vision of man, may cause him to flee God’s calling for him –

because of pride and envy and jealousy, man may flee God’s will for him.

In the garden, Adam and Eve know they are naked – they know something is terribly wrong.

We are accountable to God for our disobedience to God, for one’s sins.

After the sin of Adam and Eve, blame enters the world.

Adam blames Eve –

Eve blames the snake

We see this lack of personable responsibility for sin.

R. Concupiscence enters the world.

Seeking dominance for dominance sake.

There was harmony between man and woman before the fall.

After the fall, now DISHARMONY between man and woman.

TENSION –

There are sins of – LUST

– SINS of the FLESH

The ORDER is disrupted after the fall.

R. Man has a tendency to sin because of his wounded human nature.

God has all the power.

The devil is a fallen angel.

Genesis 3: 15

...I shall put enmity
between you and the woman,
it will bruise your head
and you will strike its heel.’

R. Adam and Eve sinned.

Mary and Jesus are the New Adam and New Eve.

Men and women will now suffer because of the sin of Adam and Eve –

Competition – Some men worse than others –

Competition from Eve – Eve has competition with God!!

Sin upset the order!!

Childbearing will be painful!

Shame and Nakedness!

Men and women, tension between them.

Work will be through labor, tears, sweat.

Jesus, the New Adam, sweat blood in the garden for Adam’s

sin.

DEATH HAS ENTERED THE WORLD.

God, despite man’s sin, does not abandon the human race.

Romans 5: 12- 21

Well then; it was through one man that sin came into the world, and through sin death, and thus death has spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned. Sin already existed in the world before there was any law, even though sin is not reckoned when there is no law. Nonetheless death reigned over all from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sin was not the breaking of a commandment, as Adam’s was. He prefigured the One who was to come . . .

There is no comparison between the free gift and the offence. If death came to many through the offence of one man, how much greater an effect the grace of God has had, coming to so many and so plentifully as a free gift through the one man Jesus Christ! Again, there is no comparison between the gift and the offence of one man. One single offence brought condemnation, but now, after many offences, have come the free gift and so acquittal! It was by one man’s offence that death came to reign over all, but how much greater the reign in life of those who receive the fullness of grace and the gift of saving justice, through the one man, Jesus Christ. One man’s offence brought condemnation on all humanity; and one man’s good act has brought justification and life to all humanity. Just as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man’s obedience are many to be made upright. When law came on the scene, it was to multiply the offences. But however much sin increased, grace was always greater; so that as sin’s reign brought death, so grace was to rule through saving justice that leads to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
 

R. God created man in His own image and likeness.

Genesis 1: 26-27

God said, ‘Let us make man in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals and all the creatures that creep along the ground.’

God created man in the image of himself,
in the image of God he created him,
male and female he created them.
 

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  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.
 

November 21, 2013

Jesus: I call you to live your lives as devout members of the mystical body of Christ. I have given these writings that menwill 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. Adam and Eve are expelled by God from the Garden.

Adam and Eve need a Redeemer.

God loves us so much –

Jesus said the night of December 5, 1996 – that His mouth was moving as He showed me Himself on the cross because no one was listening –

12 days later God the Father sent Our Lady of Clearwater December 17, 1996
