Isaiah 30: 19-26:
Yes, people of Zion living in Jerusalem,
you will weep no more.
He will be gracious to you when your cry for help rings out;
as soon as he hears it, he will answer you.
When the Lord has given you the bread of suffering
and the water of distress,
he who is your teacher will hide no longer,
and you will see your teacher with your own eyes.
Your ears will hear these words behind you,
'This is the way, keep to it,' whether you turn to right or left.
You will hold unclean the silverplating of your idols
and goldplating of your images.
You will throw them away like the polluted things they are,
shouting after them, 'Good riddance!'
He will send rain for the seed you sow in the ground,
and the bread that the ground provides will be rich and nourishing.
That day, your cattle will graze in wide pastures.
Oxen and donkeys that work the land
will eat for fodder wild sorrel,
spread by the shovel-load and fork-load.
On every lofty mountain, on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses, on the day of the great slaughter
when the strongholds fall.
Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-
on the day Yahweh dresses his people's wound
and heals the scars of the blows they have received."
Isaiah 40:1-8:
'Console my people, console them,'
says your God.
'Speak to the heart of Jerusalem
and cry to her
that her period of service is ended,
that her guilt has been atoned for,
that, from the hand of Yahweh, she has received
double punishment for all her sins.'
A voice cries, 'Prepare in the desert
a way for Yahweh.
Make a straight highway for our God
across the wastelands.
Let every valley be filled in,
every mountain and hill be levelled,
every cliff become a plateau,
every escarpment a plain;
then the glory of Yahweh will be revealed
and all humanity will see it together,
for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.'
A voice said, 'Cry aloud!' and I said, 'What shall I cry?'
-'All humanity is grass
and all its beauty like the wild flower's.
The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of Yahweh blows on them.
(The grass is surely the people.)
The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God remains for ever.'
Song: A Voice Cries Out in the Wilderness
Adam and Eve are given great gifts and insights into God. They sin, the
light of knowing God is dimmed because of their sin. They do not know God as
they did before the sin.
Christ comes, He is the Light of the World. He dies, He gives Himself. He
shares His life with us through sanctifying grace.
Through Baptism we receive this sharing in His divine life. The more He
shares His life, the more we are saturated with His life, the more we know
Him. He reveals Himself to us--we see the light.
The Kingdom of God is at hand. It is all here: the Mass, the Eucharist,
God giving Himself.
To partake more in His life we must give ourselves to Him.
Mary appears to Bernadette. She tells her she is the "Immaculate
Conception." We are sinners, but through Mary, the pure and sinless
one, we can unite deeply in Him.
We are in darkness in varying degrees. The more we are saturated with His
life, the more we see.
The reign of God is at hand. Since He came to the earth, everything is in
place to see the light.
God is giving to us great graces to see the light now. He is lifting the
veil.
There will be the era of peace.
Isaiah 30:26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
We see the darkness. As at night, we do not see the colorful leaves, they
are there, we do not see them.
In the morning light, we see the glory of the beautiful day, the colorful
leaves.
As the light steals across the sky, we see more and more. As the sun
gradually comes up, we see more clearly the beauty of the leaves.
At first, our vision is not so clear because the light does not show in
its deepest intensity. As the sun comes up we see more and more vividly
until finally we see clearly the beauty of the colorful leaves.
Isaiah 30:26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
In a message to Fr. Carter on July 31, 1994, Jesus has promised us:
"I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ
Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's
heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."
As stated above, the more we are saturated with his life, the more we are
one in Him, the more clearly we see. It is in this union, in the depth of
His Heart, that we receive such life, that we know Him with great clarity,
that we are given this vision of God.
It is not with "eyes" that we see, but the illumination is in
the knowing power that He gives to us. He reveals insights into the divine
mysteries. We share most intimately with Him when we are one with Him in the
Mass and after Communion. These are treasured moments in which He gives us a
special sharing to know Him, our Divine Lover.
We see clearly when our hearts are hearts of love. We see vividly when
our hearts are filled with love and peace. We were created to love, to love
God and love each other.
Adam and Eve sinned. They lost the great gift given to them. The light of
knowing God was dimmed because of their sin.
Christ comes into the world. He is the Word. He is the light of the
world. He comes to save man from his sin. He comes in the womb of the Virgin
Mary. Mary is the pure and sinless one. Jesus comes to pay the price for the
sin of Adam and for our sins. We are all tainted by this sin of our first
father and mother. Mary is the Immaculate and pure one, the highest human
person. Divinity unites with humanity in the womb of Mary. They are one.
Jesus is carried within the body of His mother. Such unity from the
beginning, for His life is formed within her body. Is it surprising to us,
then, if Christ comes within the womb of the Virgin Mary, that we too must
go through Mary to unite to Him? Where is the pride in the hearts of men
that think they do not have to go through their Mother Mary? If Christ comes
in the womb of Mary to pay the price for man's sins, and we are tainted by
the sin, in order to unite to the Almighty God who is all holy, we must go
through the pure and sinless one.
Adam and Eve sinned. The Father sends His Son into the world to pay the
price for man's sins. Jesus is the New Adam; Mary is the New Eve. Man
continues to sin, greatly displeasing God. The Father allows Mary to appear
to Bernadette at Lourdes as the Immaculate Conception, as having been
conceived without original sin. The Father then allows Mary to appear to the
children of Fatima as the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We are sinners, we cannot unite closely to Him unless we go through Mary.
Mary is the pure and sinless one. We can unite deeply to Him. We are in
darkness in varying degrees. The more we are saturated with His life, the
more we see.
The reign of God is at hand. He came to the earth, He died, He rose on
the third day. He gave to the Apostles the power to change bread and wine
into His Body and Blood. He gave to them the power to forgive sins. He
established His Church pouring forth from His pierced side. We do not see
the great gifts that He has given to us. He is giving to us great insights
into these gifts. God is giving to us great graces to see the light now. He
is lifting the veil.
There will be an era of peace and all will see with such light as Isaiah
speaks of in chapter 30, verse 26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
Man sinned. Jesus came to redeem us. Man is still so sinful. Mary appears
at Fatima. She tells us that we are offending God, that we must make
reparation to her heart and the heart of her Son.
She gives us the peace plan for the world. She tells us that the Sacred
Heart of Jesus will reign and her Immaculate Heart will triumph but we must
do what she says. The Church has approved Fatima. The devil has blocked the
message. How can we disobey our Mother? How can we ignore her? Mary appeared
at Fatima and was ignored. Mary appeared to me almost daily for 14
months--she does not appear as she once did. Jesus has told me that He will
handle these messages, that He is in charge, that the plan of the Father
will unfold despite any person's willfulness.
In August 1996, Mary spoke in the rosary: she said she could not hold
back the hand of her Son any longer. On the 5th of this month, instead of
Mary appearing as she had in the past, Jesus appeared alive on the crucifix
with His mouth moving for twenty minutes. We are not listening to Mary or to
Jesus. Man has sinned. Jesus came to redeem us. Mary tells us what we must
do. Men are disobedient. They disobeyed their Mother. They do not do what
she told them what they must do at Fatima. When hearts are consecrated to
Jesus and Mary they become holy hearts, deeply one with God. The reign of
the Sacred Heart is at hand for He has given to us abundant grace that we
are seeing with such clarity this vision of God. He has imparted to us
understanding into His divine mysteries.
The more we focus on what Jesus and Mary have told us, the more we will
have peace. He is angered by the willfulness of man. He will get their
attention. We are spreading the good news when we spread the consecration.
We must heed the words of our Mother. She will not go away because of
willful men. We have angered God more by ignoring her. There is only one
way: it is the plan that Mary has given to us at Fatima. He is lifting the
veil for those whose hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Many in the Shepherds of Christ Movement are fervently loving Him. In the
Shepherds of Christ Movement, as the apostles spread the consecration to the
Church, the family, and the school, the fire of His love will cover the
earth and it will be lighted with this love coming from the Sacred Heart of
Jesus. The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary
will triumph.
We, in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, are spreading the fire of His
love across the earth through the consecration.
The hearts of men will turn from their sick and desolate ways to hearts
gentle as a little lamb. There will be one flock and one Shepherd and His
staff will rule over all. Hearts consecrated to Their Hearts will lead the
light across the earth. This light will be a light of intense brightness,
brighter and hotter than any light from a flame. It will be the fire of
God's love. The Spirit will move in all hearts consecrated to His Heart, and
we will know how fire truly spreads, for the love of God is a fire, it is
vibrant, it is encompassing, it is smoldering, burning deep within and
speedily spreading on the outside. No fires on this earth can ever describe
the burning embers that burn from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. No fire burns
like the fires coming from His Heart and hearts filled with the love from
the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
On October 13, 1917 Our Lady gave to Lucia and 70,000 spellbound people,
a great vision: the sun spun in the sky, casting off great lights. This
happened three times in about 12 minutes. As quoted from Our Lady of
Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven:
It seemed that the whole world was on fire with
the sun spinning at a greater speed each time. Then a gasp of terror rose
from the crowd for the sun seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come
crashing down upon the horrified multitudes...just when it seemed that the
ball of fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the
sun resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as
ever.
Mary gave this tremendous sign at Fatima and people did not listen. The
events that followed were as she had predicted since we disobeyed her. There
was a brutal war, WWII. Mary appeared to me (Rita Ring) almost daily - very
few have listened. She told me over and over again of the souls going to
hell. She told me in August she could not hold back the hand of her Son
anymore. Adam and Eve sinned. God, the Father, sent His Son. Man continues
to sin--the Father sends Mary but she is ignored!
On July 2, 1996, my son, Joseph, was taking pictures of all of the
Shepherds of Christ members at Tom Arlinghaus' farm. He took one picture of
each person. Jesus told me to tell him to take two pictures of Fr. Carter.
The first picture was a normal picture. The second picture was of Fr. Carter
covered with a pillar of light.
In front of a statue of Our Sorrowful Mother, Mary was alive in the
statue.
Jesus: "Peace will abound when nations, churches,
families, and individuals are consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and
the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Shepherds of Christ Movement...is a pillar
of light in the darkness."
R. We must encourage all to consecrate their hearts to
the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to join the
Shepherds of Christ chapters, and the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of
Jesus Movement, to pray for our Church and our world.
Jesus: This is My Movement for renewal of the Church and
the world, based in consecration, joining your every act to the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass, praying the rosary, and making reparation to Our
Hearts, especially on first Fridays and first Saturday. It is through your
prayers and sacrifices many souls will be saved. Grace will flow from those
whose hearts are consecrated to Our Hearts and the fire of My love will
light up this darkened world.
R. Many are living in darkness because they are not
obeying Our Lady. The people will see the light when they obey her and
consecrate their hearts to her heart and the Heart of Jesus.
To have this intense union with Jesus, with God, we must give ourselves
to Our Lady. It is there in the intimacy with Him that we are saturated with
His life and that He reveals to us great lights, great insights into His
divine mysteries. Yes, indeed, the light will steal across the earth and the
hearts of men will be hearts filled with His love. They will know their God
with great light imparted to them by the Holy Spirit given to them because
of the deep union that they have with Jesus. The reign of the Sacred Heart
is at hand. He is giving to us these great lights at this time for He has
lifted the veil and we see many things and the light steals across the sky
and we see with clear vision.
Isaiah 30: 26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
Isaiah 30: 25:
"On every lofty mountain, on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses, on the day of the great slaughter
when the strongholds fall."
Truly His Heart is the fountain of divine life. It flows through the
Church, through the hands of His holy priests. When priests are consecrated
to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and celebrating the Mass, and administering
the sacraments, an immense amount of His grace will be outpoured on the
earth.
A people in darkness have seen a great light. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, the
Light of the World!
Our Father...thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven. We will all love as the Father intends, for now He looks to the
earth and He sees it covered with darkness. As hearts are consecrated to the
Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the earth will be covered with His light.
Revelation 12:1-12:
Now a great sign appeared
in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her
head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labor, crying aloud
in the pangs of childbirth. Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there
was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven
heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail swept a third of the stars from the
sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the
woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that he could eat the
child as soon as it was born. The woman was delivered of a boy, the Son who
was to rule all the nations with an iron scepter, and the child was taken
straight up to God and to his throne, while the woman escaped into the
desert, where God had prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve
hundred and sixty days.
And now war broke out in
heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the dragon. The dragon fought
back with his angels, but they were defeated and driven out of heaven. The
great dragon, the primeval serpent, known as the devil or Satan, who had led
all the world astray, was hurled down to the earth and his angels were
hurled down with him. Then I heard a voice shout from heaven, 'Salvation and
power and empire for ever have been won by our God, and all authority for
his Christ, now that the accuser, who accused our brothers day and night
before our God, has been brought down. They have triumphed over him by the
blood of the lamb and by the word to which they bore witness, because even
in the face of death they did not cling to life. So let the heavens rejoice
and all who live there; but for you, earth and sea, disaster is
coming-because the devil has gone down to you in a rage, knowing that he has
little time left.'
We are in her spiritual womb (heart). She is pregnant, bringing forth her
children of light. As we go to her heart, she crushes the head of the
serpent. Some of the brightest stars that will light up the earth are in the
Shepherds of Christ Movement. We are the children of light. We are being
sent forth as she brings us forth her children of light to stamp out the
darkness. We must give ourselves to Mary.
