Messenger:
Little children learn from their home
life. They learn about love.
Never could a family today prepare
a child for the world as it is today.
When we were little (me) they
did not have television until I
was 5 years old and it was so small
that you could hardly see it and
black and white.
Today, the "beast", the television
airs day-long for little babies
watching Cinderella ten times
and worse cartoons depicting who
knows what.
When I was little five years old
was an important age to me, my
mom died and I knew about
heaven, it was very real to me.
I knew my mom went to heaven,
this is what I thought for sure.
I learned how people who were very
close — left.
There is a real longing for little
babies to have their moms and dads
around, they cry even when someone
else comes to watch — maybe throw
a temper-tantrum
"Don't go"
Children have to learn to "let go" — to let
someone very close like mom or dad
to leave them and know mom or dad
will come back and hug and love
them again.
Children need to socialize some
time during their lives. They belong
home after birth with mom or dad,
but they soon start to learn to "let go."
In 1979 I taught a couple of classes
and went to work. That was not
the every day thing for women to
work as it is now.
In 1974 I went back to school leaving
the children for one class here or
there, but there were little cartoons
to keep them busy while I did my math
homework which was hard in
graduate school (projective geometry,
advanced calculus) and I had a
hard time except for late at night doing
homework like this with two toddlers
and a traveling husband.
The world changed much from when
I was little and there was no TV
and to when there was little TV for
my two oldest children and then
so much TV today for the children.
The TV is definitely teaching the
children about things. It blares all
day from old movies, old cartoons
to the latest cartoons and people.
The world is a far different place
than when I grew up in the 40s and 50s
and what is happening now.
There was not the cell phone so people
had a little quiet time, when someone
was not calling them.
The computer has opened a new world.
Discipline is definitely necessary
with regards the media or you
can bring in all the evil of the
world.
Imagine what a child is learning
today — I remember my older children
thought a younger one was being
"smart" like "Smurfette."
If they thought "Smurfette" effected
her when I went to teach what
about today.
The world is definitely a melting pot
of all kinds of habits and
histories —
children who spent days on a farm
or in the country with mom and dad
trying to learn social skills for the
community life we live in
was a major problem — they were
formed by mom and dad's habits and
their own desire to make their
way to the top if they were so
inclined.
Others lived maybe in dysfunctional
homes, where the "past-time"
was passed down from generations
past — alcohol, drugs,
food disorders —
people not getting along —
being unpredictable
leaving and not coming back
as expected —
not showing up for your school
play because of alcohol,
work etc.
just not being there really
present to the child —
Too much interaction in an
isolated controlling home
Now it can be — too much bad
influence from the outside
world.
Jesus heals these problems
if we can go to Him and be
truthful about ourselves.
With this mix-mox we are
far from perfect — we
have a bag of imperfect
ways of relating we may
have learned while in
diapers and ways we gave
into ourselves that were
unloving to try to heal
unfinished business.
A man and woman, married, can keep
living dysfunction and
easily pass it on —
One can dominate — the other
accept their rule as a real
rule ———
Nobody ever tell mama she
is wrong
The husband may be strong and
dominate the wife —
All these ways lead to dysfunction
in the children
Put them all in a pot in
community — school,
church, convents,
seminaries
and stir
WATCH the stars come
out of the pot —
Do you see why in a world of
such self focus that
there are fewer and fewer
convents and seminaries —
The world, in many ways, is preaching
be out for #1!! And you are #1!!
Who wants to be under when they
can be on top!!
These new shows on TV are all
about POWER —
POWER —
POWER —
pounding the focus on power - over
into the viewers and little
kids too in video and
computer games —
competition to win —
don't lose the world may shout
You must show you are perfect
What is the answer to keep these
ways Jesus has taught us
intact, pray the rosary,
our spiritual Mother says.
At Fatima Mary gave the following
messages.
Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima
by Father Carter, S.J.
May 13, 1917
"Do not be afraid, I will do you no harm..... I am from Heaven.
"I have come to ask you to come here for six months in succession, on the 13th day, at the same hour. Later on, I will tell you who I am and what I want
"Are you willing to offer yourselves to God and bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners?
"Pray the Rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the world, and the end of the war." (8)
June 13, 1917
"God wishes you to remain in the world for some time because He wants to use you to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart. I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and their souls will be loved by God as flowers placed by myself to adorn His throne." (10)
July 13, 1917
"During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great 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." (11)
"During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told 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.
"The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)
"To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....
"But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." (13)
August 19, 1917
She told them she was greatly displeased by the action of the mayor. As a result, the miracle promised for October would not be as impressive as originally planned. (15)
September 13, 1917
More than 30,000 people were present in September, and saw a shower of mysterious white petals fall to within 10 feet of the ground before dissolving into the air. Many also saw the globe of light bearing the Lady come to rest atop the tree, and the branches bend as though someone were standing on them. Later, they saw the cloud depart into the east, from whence it had come.(16)
October 13, 1917
I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.(17)
While the people in attendance were beholding the great Miracle of the Sun, the three young visionaries, and they alone, were privileged to see striking visions in the heavens:
As Our Lady had promised, St. Joseph had come with the Holy Family and had blessed the world. Then, Our Lady appeared as the Mother of Sorrows, accompanied by her Divine Son, Who also blessed the world. Finally, Lucy had seen the Blessed Virgin, dressed in the brown robes of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth, holding a brown Scapular in her hand, with her infant Son upon her knee. However, in none of these visions had any of the figures spoken to the children. (18)
Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her (during her illness) by Mary:
More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.
Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much.
Many marriages are not good; they do not please Our Lord and are not of God.
Priests must be pure, very pure. They should not busy themselves with anything except what concerns the Church and souls. The disobedience of priests, to their superiors and to the Holy Father, is very displeasing to Our Lord.
I can no longer restrain the hand of my Divine Son from striking the world with just punishments for its many crimes.
If the government of a country leaves the Church in peace and gives liberty to our Holy Religion, it will be blessed by God.
Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. (19)

Messenger:
The angel of Portugal gave these messages
the year before to the children.
Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima
by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.
Before receiving the six apparitions of Our Lady, May through October of 1917, the three Fatima visionaries were visited by an angel on three different occasions during the preceding year. He appeared to them in the spring, summer, and fall. Lucia (now Sr. Lucia) describes the springtime apparition of the angel:
On reaching us, he said: "Do not be afraid! I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me."
Kneeling on the ground, he bowed down until his forehead touched the ground and made us repeat these words three times: "My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You."
Then, rising he said: "Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications."
His words engraved themselves so deeply on our minds that we could never forget them (3)
During the summer of 1916, the angel again appeared to the three visionaries. He said to them:
Pray! Pray a great deal. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have merciful designs on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices continually to the Most High. Make everything you do a sacrifice, and offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which God is offended, and as a petition for the conversion of sinners. Bring peace to our country in this way.... I am the Guardian Angel of Portugal Accept and bear with submission all the sufferings the Lord will send you. (4)
In the fall of the same year, the angel visited the visionaries a final time:
The angel came...bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed that drops of blood were falling from the Host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid-air and prostrated himself on the ground, saying this beautiful prayer: "Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners." (5)
Sr. Lucia relates how the angel gave them Communion:
Then, rising, he took the chalice and the Host in his hand. He gave the Sacred Host to me and shared the Blood from the chalice between Jacinta and Francisco, saying as he did so:
"Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God." (6)
Reflecting upon these messages of the angel, we see how much they
contain for our spiritual instruction.

Messenger:
At this time there was no TV, or movies
or computer like we have today —
Look at how the people of the United States
treated Our Lady of Clearwater at
the end of the century —
Now the image of Jesus' face is
all boxed in by a big building
and a highway
We need a sign out there —
Did you notice in the hurricanes
how so many signs were taken
out in Florida?
The way to having a world in which
the Sacred Heart of Jesus will
Reign and the Immaculate Heart of
Mary will triumph is to
put ourselves in the Hearts of the
new Adam and the new Eve.
Here is part of the prayer of Jesus before
His bitter Passion.
John 17: 21-23
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.
Messenger: This is God's will for us.
No matter who our parents were or
what the world may or may not
have taught us
we have Jesus telling us —
I am the Way; I am Truth and Life... John 14: 6
He gives us the scriptures to live by.
He came and gave His life —
the Son of God to teach us to be
sons of the Father.
He gave us a heavenly Mother
to model our life after.
For me, it is silly for someone to
think they are perfect or show
a perfect image, or think
their way is the right way because
they grew up thinking it is
this way or that.
My dad always was upset we left lights on.
My husband wanted them on.
In one family this was the rule
In another family that was the rule —
We are here to be molded more and more in
the image of God —
We are in the state of becoming
more Christ-like —
In living in communities learning
to be more united likened to
Christ.
No wonder Mary appeared to
Bernadette and said
"I am the Immaculate Conception".
Mary was conceived without sin —
We are all sinners —
The devil is trying to tempt us with our
fallen human nature
and there are many things around us
to tempt us in this world.
Jesus is the Son of God — the New Adam —
come to save a fallen race.
Mary the New Eve, the sinless one —
lets get about the job of
telling ourselves we are not
perfect —
We are here to learn to be like
Jesus to grow in greater
perfection like our heavenly
Father —
A man went to a tanning booth to
get tan (I wouldn't do this)
but instead of going in he
stayed in the waiting room
and told himself he was
already tan —
When he left the store he had the same
skin color as when he went
to the store.
We are put on this earth to be molded
more and more into the image of
Jesus — if we think we are
perfect and never even look at
ourselves, our history, why
we get mad, jealous etc. —
just keep doing it wherever
we can get away with it —
How silly —
We are here to be molded into the
image of Jesus and
Jesus, came Himself, and
showed us the way.
We must model ourselves after
Jesus and Mary —
Now do you see why the rosary
is so important?
We are like unpolished instruments —
ready to be molded by the
potter —
We have been jolted by the world,
wounded by well-meaning
parents, relationships that
didn't work, deaths —
but the light is
once we see we are imperfect we
can begin to let God's grace
work to help mold us into a
greater image of Christ.
Christ is the Light of the World.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
We are the tainted sons and daughters of
Adam and Eve — the light was
dimmed in the garden —
we have things taught to us from
other imperfect others —
We are here to be molded —
We go to the Heart of Jesus through
Mary's Immaculate Heart.
Mary is full of grace —
We are molded more and more in
her Immaculate Heart
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"
Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.
Excerpt from Tell My People
Messenger:
Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary —
really living it — committing ourselves
Being really as Christ wants —
Living in the truth —
means you don't lie —
there is not deception —
there is not games to get
attention — get your way —
get control
We are learning we always want
God's will —
We praise Him —
We serve Him —
We don't want to get up and do
the Mass for the priest — We are
thankful to God for the gift
He gives us.
Have we appreciated the Mass?
Have we appreciated confession?
Have we appreciated the gift of baptism?
Let us say thanks —
Today if something goes wrong —
the wind blows and a roof blows
off — someone wants to blame
somebody else so it didn't
hurt them and make them suffer.
Jesus shows us that suffering is
what we will have many times,
but also we will know
the resurrection.
In dying to ourselves and our sinful ways
we will have greater life in Him.
Parents who taught children they can
never be imperfect, have
to think twice about their
teaching.
We are the daughters and sons of
Adam and Eve —
pride, envy, jealousy,
lust, laziness, anger
keep us stuck —
The devil knows our weakness —
he tempts us —
he tells us we have been
cheated and he tries to
get us to judge our brothers
and be divided, to hate each
other.
The devil wants us to hate each
other and be divided, angrily divided.
Like God wants us to love each
other and be one.
The message of the Shepherds of Christ is to
love and forgive and say you are
sorry.
The devil presses in —
God has given us so many gifts at the
top of the mountain, but our
imperfections and those that others
have around us can be like
hands pulling us down the mountain.
Satan wants us at the bottom and in
the dirt — at the bottom and in
the dirt — at the bottom and in the dirt.
The key is in the truth —
The truth will set you free —
Living the Blue Book messages is
Loving God
Loving each other.
Living the Blue Book messages is
Forgiving
Being good —
The world may want to blame, blame,
blame —
Natural disasters occur —
people die
accidents occur
There was icy pavement a man
coming up the hill sliding ran
into a woman coming down
sliding — who was at fault —
When he got up and she got up, they
should have stayed home,
but not knowing the road
was so bad they slipped and
slid into one another —
Oh you say, but somebody has
to be wrong —
Is that right — to make somebody
wrong when it was really
an accident and both slipped?
6 months later an angry boyfriend
of the lady wanting the car
fixed and more money — tries
to open the case and blame the
other guy. He works her "up"
and she decides to fight —
she slid just like the
man in the car did — but
greed enters the picture now —
Mary was having a meeting her
top assistant became jealous,
feeling she didn't want
Mary doing the meeting
she would be better doing
it.
Mary had the degree, Mary was
the person in charge —
the assistant was hired,
but had worked herself
up to a confident level
with Mary — she was
mixed - jealous/for others
would think Mary was
great and wanting to do it
herself — at any rate —
her motives were very impure —
rather than helping Mary she
caused confusion before Mary
got before the people to
sabotage the meeting, making
Mary look unprepared and
weak.
Jesus speaks: I call you to
purity
I call you to truth.
On the Interior Life
December 6, 1998
Jesus speaks: The INTERIOR LIFE! I speak to you of the interior life. My life must live in you. I ask you to pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus.
How is your heart? Do you size up those around you, liking some and disliking others, etc., etc., measuring them, adding things up?
My child, I give you as you need. I give generously to all, but many reject the gifts I give to them. My world, do you want peace in your hearts? Then you must have hearts of love. What will make your heart a heart of love? As you give yourselves more and more to Me in consecration, your heart will be transformed into a heart of love. I am love, to dwell in My Heart is to be consumed with burning love. I am consumed with love for My precious souls. I am God, I am love.
And so how are you to be in your heart? If I live in you, if I possess a soul, then you are consumed with love for God and others. You may suffer battles with the evil one who wishes to cause you hardship and division, but I come with peace, love and joy in My Heart. All must take off the masks that they wear to look good to their brothers and be true to their hearts.
You are not perfect, you are human persons with a tainted human nature. You act imperfectly.
And so I say to you, "What qualities do you wish in an intimate friend?" You say, "I wish a friend that is loving and kind. I wish a friend that is trustworthy and open and truthful. One that is reliable. One that gives oneself in the relationship. I wish a friend that is generous and joyful. One that is comforting and understanding. A friend full of life. I wish a friend to be holy." And I say "You wish a friend that is most like Christ, most like the Almighty God."
What do you dislike in a friend? You answer, "One who is unloving and untrustworthy, one never wanting to share pleasures and fine things like a walk in the park, seeing the sun glistening on the water, experiencing the air of a bright sunny day; one who is untruthful, angry, bitter, selfish, jealous and suspicious, etc."
You are on a journey here below. Loving one another includes joining in relationships with one another. I will speak to you many times in these messages of the proper ways of loving and relating with one another.
The stiff and hard person, set in his ways, feeling he is perfect, will not grow properly in the ways of loving. You are to walk hand-in-hand in love, learning more and more how to love through trial and error and interaction with one another.
Walk with Me, talk with Me, share your heart with Me. I give you love. There must be the proper balance of loving God, one another and loving self. All work as one. The more you are possessed by Me, the more you will love appropriately. I am love. The person that feels he loves God, but is not in harmony with others, is majorly out of line. The person that focuses only on loving others and himself and leaves out God is not truly aware of the meaning of love. The person that sees himself as the goal, as number one, and allows others to help promote himself is truly not loving himself, for love of self is rooted in truth.
Every person must realize his preciousness to God. Every human is a tainted child of Eve, except the Virgin Mary who is a spotless virgin.
I speak to you of relationship and truth. I speak to you of life, for it is not life if it is not rooted in Me. I speak to you of the love I have for you, for I came, I gave Myself to you in holy love. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
You are on a journey to be possessed by God and His love for all eternity. You are learning. From those who went before you, you learned imperfect ways of loving. You must become more perfected in your ways of loving. I give you one another, that you will learn to love properly. There must be this time daily that you spend alone with your God, when you allow Me to act in your soul and communicate to you.
Because of the desire of the devil to cut you off from your hearts, he has waged a war to lure the children away from their hearts to pleasures in the outside world. He has led men to create noises and pleasures and distractions that keep a soul forever focused on the outside world. His method is to keep a person focused on his personal gain here below. His focus is to make a man competitive with his brothers, wishing to be better than them. His focus is not on loving harmony in which all recognize their uniqueness and gifts given from God and work with one another in loving harmony.
Your interior life is very important to peace and self fulfillment. In this interior life, souls filled with God's grace are connected to the source of life and love. They treasure the time when they reflect and are united in holy prayer with their God. There must be this time every day to connect to your hearts.
I recommend writing letters to Me and to your intimate friends, sharing your hearts. Writing helps the soul to express the loving feelings in the heart.
In the Reign of the Sacred Heart all will exist in loving union in their hearts. All will be one in intimate, harmonious love. When writing, you connect immediately with your heart. Satan attacks the mind, he uses fake logic to help you to sin. He uses distorted reasoning to lead you astray. You are to remain holy, rooted in your hearts, dwelling in Our pure and holy Hearts. Writing daily in a letter to Me for at least ten minutes and reading a Blue Book message will help you to stay rooted in love in your heart. The connection is between Our Hearts. You must write down all that you are angry with. You must pray for grace to forgive them. You must get in touch with your hearts. You must clean out the debris daily. The more you rid yourselves of imperfections in your hearts, the more you will love. Little children, do not hold grudges. Little children forgive, little children say they are sorry, little children are pure in heart. Many older people carry bags and bags of bitterness and unforgiven sins. Many do not admit to themselves how they have offended God and others. Writing from the heart will help you bring up the debris in your heart. Write Me a letter daily and watch your lives change. Lie in bed at night, examine your conscience. Tell those you have wronged you are sorry and go to Our Hearts and feel the peace of letting go of hate and anger, unforgiven sins of the past. Make every night when you are alone with Me a special time to be at peace in your heart. Live to do good. Pray to know the truth. Ask the Holy Spirit to work in your heart, making you holy. Make bedtime a great time of peace and relaxation for yourself, getting in touch with your God living in your heart. I am alive, I am alive, I am alive and I live in the hearts of men.
God's Blue Book 6
February 12, 1995
Messenger: These messages are not my messages. They are His love letters to this world. We are all called here to help Him to spread them. He is in this world now. He is with me at Frisch’s. God is in our midst this day. We are being called to go out to the world and spread the Good News. Jesus came to this earth, born a baby of the Virgin Mary. Jesus died. He rose on the third day and He will come again!
Jesus and Mary are sending us into the world to spread the love of Their two Hearts. He is the same as during the Rosary, at a meeting with the three priests, as He was in Debrovnik, as He was at St. Phillips Church, as He was in the pew in Steubenville, Ohio, as He was when He was with me in the parking lot at St. Vincent Ferrer Church. My heart is burning at His presence. He is here in the ordinary occurrences of life, present in this world. He cries out for His message to be spread to this world. His people are in the world. He wants us to carry the message to His beloved souls in this world. He loves each and every one of His precious souls. We must see with the eyes of God. Each soul He loves. He loves each so dearly! He wants to love through us. This world is in pain. We contain the mighty medicine. THESE ARE HIS MESSAGES FOR THE WORLD.
Jesus: I send you into the world to give My love to the souls that are hurting. You contain the medicine for this sick world -- it is the love of My most Sacred Heart! I call you this day, will you answer My call?
My letters are My love letters. My personal love letters for this world. I gave My all for each and every precious soul. I gave My flesh and Blood for them. I came to bring life. Can you not give My love to this world? I call you to union with Me. Surrender. Let Me operate your soul. It is in your surrender and time alone with Me you will go into the world with Me to spread My love to this world. I want to be one with you. If you unite with Me, all will go according to the Father’s Plan.
I am Jesus. Oh, how I love and thank you, My beloved ones, so dearly. I press you to My Heart, so dearly. I love you! Jesus.
LOVING means GIVING
Love all My precious souls, pray for your brothers in pain. Pray, pray, pray for all your brothers. I ask you to love your brothers as I have loved you. I spread My arms, I gave My all, will you love for Me this day?

Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes
This rosary was prayed before the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows. Rita, Cathy, Joe and Marty were present. Mary appeared — she was so beautiful, so gorgeous.
Glorious Mysteries
The Resurrection
1. Jesus was locked in the tomb after His death and on the third day He
rose triumphant from the dead. Death has no power over Jesus!2. He came to give us life that we might have it to the full!
3.
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. John 3: 164. It is in living in the Father's will that we will be the happiest.
5. The Father sent His Son to this world. We are sons of the Father! The Father loves us with such immense love.
6. They locked Jesus in the tomb and He rose on the third day. He rose triumphant. We live the Paschal Mystery of death/resurrection.
7. The Church is the Body of Christ. We are living in communities. The Trinity is the most perfect community. God intends us to walk hand-in-hand with each other.
8. We share in His life through the sacraments. He gave the Apostles the power to baptize and to forgive sins. In Baptism we are made children of God and heirs of Heaven.
9. Our human nature is elevated through baptism.
10. Our knowing and loving capacity is elevated.

The Ascension
1. Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven. Luke 24: 50-51
2. As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight. They were still staring into the sky as he went, when suddenly two men in white were standing beside them, and they said, ‘Why are you Galileans standing here looking into the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way as you have seen him go to heaven.’ Acts 1: 9-11
3. The Apostles were fearful. They were so close to Jesus! They saw Jesus! They lived with Jesus! But they were so filled with fear that they went and locked themselves in the upper room. Think of Peter as he denied Jesus three times after he had just told Jesus how He would always be faithful to Him. When we stumble and when we fall and we feel that we are not faithful to Jesus, think of the Apostles and how close they were to Him and how they were still filled with fear and doubt! They were blind. We are human. We are blind. We do not see. Holy Spirit impart to us Your vision. Help us to see more clearly. Give us the gifts of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord to know more all that we need to know to be drawn ever closer to You and know more Your Divine Love.
4. Jesus has not gone! He remains with us this day out of greatest love in the Eucharist.
Song: I Love You Jesus
5. Jesus gives us Himself in the Eucharist.
6. How can we love and not love our brothers? For God is truly love and to know Him is to love! We are to love one another.
7. He is the image of the unseen God, the first–born of all creation, for in him were created all things in heaven and on earth: everything visible and everything invisible, thrones, ruling forces, sovereignties, powers—all things were created through him and for him. He exists before all things and in him all things hold together, and he is the Head of the Body, that is, the Church. He is the Beginning, the first–born from the dead, so that he should be supreme in every way; because God wanted all fullness to be found in him and through him to reconcile all things to him, everything in heaven and everything on earth, by making peace through his death on the cross. Colossians 1: 15-20
8. These are truly the Glorious Mysteries. Jesus rose triumphantly from the dead and He ascended into Heaven!
9. Jesus showed them His Power and His Might when He rose from the dead and then ascended into Heaven!
10. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to this earth a little baby. Out of greatest love for us, God comes into the world a little baby, He died on the cross, He rose from the dead and He ascended into Heaven.

Descent of the Holy Spirit
1. John 16: 12-17
I still have many things to say to you
but they would be too much for you
to bear now.
However, when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth,
since he will not be speaking
of his own accord,
but will say only what he has been told;
and he will reveal to you
the things to come.
He will glorify me,
since all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.
Everything the Father has is mine;
that is why I said:
all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.In a short time you will no longer see me,
and then a short time later
you will see me again.Then some of his disciples said to one another, ‘What does he mean, "In a short time you will no longer see me, and then a short time later you will see me again," and, "I am going to the Father"?
2. John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’ Acts 1: 5
3. "When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves. Acts 2: 1-4
4. They were transformed from fear to fearlessness and they went out to preach the Gospel and all understood!
5. The Father loves us so that He has created us in His own image and likeness. Dear Holy Spirit, through the Virgin Mary, transform us more into the image of Jesus. We want to be more one with You God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
6. ...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 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. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).
Excerpt from Response to God's Love, by Father Edward Carter, S.J.
7. Mold us more and more into the image of Jesus. Jesus Christ became man, the mediator of God and man. Jesus has summarized Christian life as love.
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. John 3: 16
8. Jesus gives us Himself in the Eucharist.
Song: I am the Bread of Life
9. Song: I Love You Jesus

The Assumption of Mary into Heaven
1. Mary is taken body and soul into heaven.
2. Imagine the immense joy!
3. It is through consecration to these two Most loving Hearts that we will be more able to do God's will and grow in greater holiness. We want to love the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit more and more.
4. The most perfect community is the Trinity.
5. It is in joining more and more to the love of the Trinity that we will be filled with love in our hearts.
6. Jesus communicates to us His great love in the Eucharist and pours out His grace. Jesus gives Himself to us. Jesus takes us to the bosom of the Father.
7. Father, we are Your little children! Help us to have this relationship with You as sons and daughters of God!
8. Mary was born a human person conceived without sin. She is the most perfect disciple of Jesus. Dear Holy Spirit, transform us in the Heart of the Virgin Mary to be more like Jesus!
9. God loves us so much that He created us in His own image and likeness.
10. Outpour Your abundant grace to us that we may be more likened to you and live in deeper love.
