Mary's
Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996
Mary:
I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I
saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My
Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I
suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and
give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this
message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I
stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried
for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How
do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I
appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject
me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored.
The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you.
Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and
I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart
was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this
day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold
back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to
help my children. You are my children of light.
end of Mary's Message
R.
Order is so important!
First Commandment
1. I, the Lord, am your God. You
shall not have other gods besides me.
1 Corinthians 15: 20-28
In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who
have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the
resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to
life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his
coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the
kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and
power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the
last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his
feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the
One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the
Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God
may be all in all.
R.
Order is so important.
We need to
feel safe.
Authority
is vital.
Just order brings peace.
Immaculate
Conception
Mary
conceived the child Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Mary was
the perfect handmaid of the Lord.
Mary was
conceived without sin.
Mary is the
new Eve.
R.
God has a plan for our lives.
We have a vocation.
God calls us to this vocation to help us to work out our eternal
salvation.
We are
created uniquely. Our Heavenly Father loves us so much. He wants us to
work out our eternal salvation by being His little child and then be
with Him eternally in heaven.
Like the
prodigal son who returns to his father.
Our Father wants us eternally with Him in heaven.
The Our Father
Our Father, Who art in
heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth
as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our
trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
R.
Mary is our heavenly Mother, the Mother of Jesus.
Mary loves us more than any earthly mother could ever love us.
God brought
us into the world with an earthly father and mother.
As we grow they are to help us with all our needs.
Romans 8: 14-17
All who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God; for what you received
was not the spirit of slavery to bring you back into fear; you received the Spirit of
adoption, enabling us to cry out, 'Abba, Father!' The Spirit himself joins with
our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God. And if we are children, then we
are heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, provided that we share his suffering,
so as to share his glory.
R.
Read these words
So beautiful.
1 John 4: 7-11
My dear friends, let us love one another, since love is from God and everyone who loves is
a child of God and knows God. Whoever fails to love does not know God, because God is
love. This is the revelation of God's love for us, that God sent his only Son into the
world that we might have life through him. Love consists in this: it is not we who loved
God, but God loved us and sent his Son to expiate our sins. My dear friends, if God loved
us so much, we too should love one another.
R.
God the Father loved us so much He sent His only begotten Son to
redeem us.
Sing: A
Song from Jesus
R.
God, our Father is love.
We are to grow more and more in the image and likeness of Jesus.
We were
created by God the Father to grow in love.
Heaven is
for lovers.
John 14: 21-31
Whoever holds to my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me; and
whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I shall love him and reveal myself to
him.'
Judas-not Judas Iscariot-said to him, 'Lord, what has happened, that you intend to show
yourself to us and not to the world?' Jesus replied:
Anyone who loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to
him and make a home in him. Anyone who does not love me does not keep my words. And the
word that you hear is not my own: it is the word of the Father who sent me. I have said
these things to you while still with you; but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the
Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all I have said
to you. Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot
give, this is my gift to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. You heard me
say: I am going away and shall return. If you loved me you would be glad that I am going
to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. I have told you this now, before it
happens, so that when it does happen you may believe. I shall not talk to you much longer,
because the prince of this world is on his way. He has no power over me, but the world
must recognise that I love the Father and that I act just as the Father commanded. Come
now, let us go.
R.
We are brought to new life in Christ.
We are raised up in Christ.
Jesus is our Savior.
Adam
sinned.
Jesus, the
New Adam, died for our sins to bring us new life.
Death /
Resurrection
Jesus
showed us there is life after death in the resurrection.
Jesus
ascended into heaven and a cloud took Him out of sight.
The
Father’s Plan is that
we are with Him eternally in heaven forever.
R.
Mary, our heavenly Mother, wants us to be with Our Father in heaven.
God:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit want to wrap us in Their eternal love
forever in heaven.
God is
love.
We are born with original sin.
We can receive baptism, this is God’s gift given to us in baptism,
baptism takes away original sin, but the effects of original sin remain,
we have a tendency toward the deadly sins. We have a wounded human
nature.
Mary was
conceived without sin. Mary is Mother of God,
our spiritual Mother, Mary is model for us.
From back of book “…God Himself is the Ultimate Mystery…”
"At the
destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, 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."

Prayer Service
Happy Feast
R.
Our Father created us and loves us.
We are the Father’s creation.
Even though we are sinners, He loves us, He sees us, His creation and He
sent His only begotten Son to pay the price for our sins.
Jesus is
our Savior, Redeemer.
Taking
responsibility for our actions, not to offend God in pride and lies.
Admitting
our sins, asking for forgiveness for offending God and telling God we
want to do the right thing.
This is the
difference between the good thief and the bad thief next to Jesus when
He died on the cross.
One asked
to be forgiven, the other was full of pride and hate.
Denying
anger stops the person from being healed and growing to be more
Christ-like.
We are to
grow to be more like God wants us to be.
We must die
to the ways not like Jesus and grow more in Jesus’ image and likeness.
We are
responsible for our actions and the choices we make.
Fr. Mike says we are accountable and responsible for our actions. That
is what we do in confession, we take responsibility for our actions.
We are accountable for our actions.
Love,
peace, unity - we are called by God to be accountable and responsible
for our actions.
We are
commanded to love God and love our neighbor as ourselves.
We are
called to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.
We were
created in the image and likeness of God.
1 Corinthian 15: 20-28
In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who
have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the
resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to
life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his
coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the
kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and
power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the
last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his
feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the
One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the
Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God
may be all in all.
R.
Jesus came a baby, Jesus came to show us the way.
John 3:16
For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may have eternal life.
Divine Mercy Chaplet
Begin with:
Our
Father...,
Hail Mary..., The Creed.
On
the five large beads:
Eternal Father,
I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity
of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ in
atonement
for our sins and those of the whole world.
On
the ten small beads:
For the sake of
His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us
and on the whole world.
Conclude
with repeating three times:
Holy God, Holy
Mighty One, Holy Immortal One,
have mercy on us and on the whole world.
Jesus I place my trust in Thee.
R.
Jesus is the King of Kings, God wants us in heaven forever with Him,
eternally.
R.
Father, outpour Your grace upon us and help us to go to heaven forever.
We need to
make choices that are the Father's will. When we make choices against
the Father’s will we have trouble.
God knows
we are not perfect, but we must try.
God
forgives the sins of those sorry and asking for forgiveness with a firm
purpose of amendment.
God gives
us rules, God has order. When we disobey God, we are disobeying what’s
best for us.
We can let
opposition to God’s will in our hearts. Sometime we let survival tactics
from a dysfunctional home rule our lives.
Worship and
love God. Pray for grace.
Jesus:
I am the way, the truth and the life.
R.
God our Father wants us to grow in the image and likeness of Jesus.
May 16,
1998 - Prayer to the Father
My Father,
With my whole heart
I desire to consecrate the whole world to the Sacred Heart of
Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I wish with my whole
being for the salvation of souls and that man live according to
Thy Holy Will. I pray my Father that we may be one in You and
Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit that we may intercede to You
for this cause.
It is this burning
desire within my soul to spread the consecration to the far ends
of the earth, that the cries of Your children are cries of glory
and honor and adoration, praising God as their God.
My Father, at this
moment a soul hangs on the edge of death. For all eternity they
will go to a place. It is not the plot of this soul as it trods
this barren land to decide on the edge of death. You created us
that we would grow in our oneness with God, that we would mature
more and more in our image and likeness to God.
And so My Father, I
pray with every cell in my body for this earth. In the name of
Your Son Jesus I consecrate all the souls of this earth to the
Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Holy Spirit
in union with the Holy sacrifice of the Mass with all the angels
and saints and the souls in Purgatory.
I beg You Father for
mercy.
I beg You Father for
assistance.
I beg You Father to
help us to spread this consecration to the far ends of the
earth.
Please help us. We
are helpless little ones coming in the heart of our Mother,
bleeding from our wounds and our sins.
Your Son, Jesus
Christ, shed the last drop of His Blood for the salvation of
mankind. We wish to unite in this sacrifice, sacramentally made
present in the Mass all over the world at every moment. Help us
to make reparation to You for the sins of men.
Please my Father,
help us. Held in the heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus we
come as the children of Eve to beg for the Reign of the Sacred
Heart and the Triumph of Mary's heart. Look upon our love, Your
shepherds in the Shepherds of Christ, our sacrifices and
devotion to You Our Beloved Father. Come by the means of the
Holy Spirit and sanctify us and make us whole, that we are one
in Your Son Jesus, praying to You, Father, in the name of Your
Son Jesus in the Holy Spirit united with all the angels and
saints, in the heart of Mary. We beg for help for special
intentions concerning the Movement. We beg for help to reach the
Churches to give these prayers of Jesus to them, to reach the
schools and the family. Help we cry as poor banished children of
Eve. Help us Father to do this work the Good Shepherd has
entrusted to us. Help us to be one in You that we act as
intercessors to help this world to be turned to God as their
God, loving, honoring and adoring Him as the Lord of Host is
truly present on His throne.
We are Your children
Father, we implore You to answer our prayer.
We love You, we
worship You, we adore You, we thank you and we sing from the
bottom of our hearts, Holy God we Praise Your Name. Alleluia
Pentecost Sequence excerpt
Bend the stubborn
heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.
R.
Respect and love, an attitude of humility.
Love finds
a way!!!
The word
for God is love.
For to know God is to be consumed with love inside for God.
To know Him, is to love Him. To know Him is the endless litany of
telling Him you love Him, it really is inexhaustible in the heart and
soul when He consumes your heart with Himself, with this presence, with
this grace, with His love.
Oh Jesus help us now, please forgive our sins, and the sins of the
world.
Oh God for our little ones, children, grandchildren, oh that the world,
that belongs to Christ, would grow more and more in His image, I pray.
Amen.
When I
think of how others do not understand, I see Him in My soul, crowned
with a crown of thorns, blood in His swollen shut eye, blood down His
face, this is how much He loves me.
To know Him, is to love Him.
This is
reality, such love for me, my Divine Bridegroom. He knows my heart and
soul. He understands everything.
R.
He paints the sky like this, He has all the power, He knows and loves
me, my heart burns with love and gratitude.
God, I love
You. Amen.
When no one understands the depths, You do, You know the depth of my
soul. Amen.
R.
He paints the sky in the most stunning array.
He is the Divine Artist.
His brush is the breath of God,
Sweet as silk,
Smooth as silver,
Light as the brightest sun, and cool as the gentle touch of the
tenderest breeze.
Need I say more, for it is ineffable, it is beyond.
Let me
embrace all You give me deeply, my gratitude and love ever grows and
deepens. Amen. Alleluia.
From
the God's Pre-Blue Book 2
September 6, 1993 Labor
Day (excerpt)
Jesus: ... I walk by your side and We travel everywhere you go
together. Cling to My hand; put yourself entirely in My care; worry
is useless and you are engulfed in a sea of love. You do not wane or
falter; your steps are directed by Me and I do not let you go if you
cling to Me. There is too much work to do, so little time. You must
have this picture about yourself; memorize it at every moment. You
are never alone, you are in the world but not of the world and your
feet are steadfast on My path to everlasting life. Anything that is
not on this path to everlasting life is not worth doing. All roads
must be My roads. Other roads are useless. Follow My path, do My
work and come to Me and I will fill you. I love you.
R.
Eternal life is indeed beyond, it is reality.
Life is in
Him.
Though we
die, we can live eternally.
Choose
life, that you may live - forever.
Love finds
a way.
He washes
the slate clean and fills us.
Be humble and sorry for sin, ask for forgiveness, repent.
