We get lots of calls and letters about the Blue Books and the Mass Book. Today a lady called and said she works at a priest retirement home and a priest gave her the Mass Book.

She has been reading it and she just loves it! She said she was selfish - she wanted one of her own!! So she called and ordered one and also Blue Book 5.

Dear Sir:

I was given the book God's Blue Book (Messages received by Rita Ring). This book is read by me every day and is very special to me because it was given to me by a nun. It is rather old and the pages are falling out, many I have taped. I am 81 and have been reading this every day for years.

I don't know if you have the same one to send me. I would appreciate it. It is marked Volume I. If not I guess I'll have to try to fix the pages.

Thank you and God bless

Jesus Appeared

R. I saw Jesus alive in the statue at Immaculata. I sat for one hour and was just with Him. I had a wonderful experience at Mass. I realized my sins, I am so far from Him, but I see the greatness of what is going on.

    I see the constant merging of my heart with Theirs (Jesus and Mary) through the Mass, despite my sinfulness. I go to the heart of Mary.

    I long for this union with Him. I kept hearing how He took me to the deepest recess of His Heart. I kept seeing the white center - knowing the Father's love and wanting to die to all that is not of Him.

    I have felt close to Him for a long time but I feel different, though, at this moment. I see so clearly, my beloved brothers and I know God's love so intently, love for all.

    I pray for this oneness with my brothers, that all will love Him with the deepest love and give God what He deserves.

    I want to help make reparation to His Heart and Mary's heart for all of the neglect and blasphemies against Their Hearts.

    I pray for the priests and religious that they will be deeply united to Him, that we will be one with each other in this Movement, that we will unite to spread this devotion across the world.

Revelation 5:10

and made them
    a line of kings and priests for God,
to rule the world.

Revelation 6:13

…and the stars of the sky fell onto the earth like figs dropping from a fig tree when a high wind shakes it;

Revelation 7:17

…because the Lamb who is at the heart of the throne will be their shepherd and will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.

Revelation 1:6

…and made us a Kingdom of Priests to serve his God and Father; to him, then, be glory and power for ever and ever. Amen.

                R. On February 23, 1998

                    Jesus told me to write the Spouse of
                        the Lamb during Lent.              
  

                R. Rita got this message to do
                    6:20 prayers nightly.

Given February 23, 1999

Jesus: I ask My Shepherds of Christ apostles and as many as possible to pray in this way for this novena praying for the special coming of the Holy Spirit.

Think of yourselves as My spouse dwelling in Our pure and holy Hearts united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

FOR THIS NOVENA:

I ask you to gather at 6:20 every evening.

I ask you to recognize yourself as a body and realize others are praying with you at 6:20 p.m.

I STRESS it is important for as many as possible to pray at 6:20 p.m. If you cannot pray at 6:20 p.m., I ask you to stop if possible and reflect as I will indicate later, but as many as possible are asked to pray. You are a body praying. You must feel this unity praying to your God as the people of My Movement, the Church and the world. You are gathered in one place, the world dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Begin the novena February 25, 1999, this will continue until I tell you to stop.

It will be important to notify as many as possible by phone of the beginning of this novena. If you have not been notified you must begin whenever you become aware of this novena. ...

Jesus: The Florida Center will pray non-stop this way until I direct differently. I also ask the Morrow Center to pray uninterruptedly which means someone should be there every night. China will pray every day in China at 6:20 p.m. except on Sundays. They are asked to pray at 6:20 p.m. if possible in the car.

This day of holy prayer on Sunday by My handmaids of China will please Me very much.

Think of being united with all others praying as a body, as were the Apostles at Pentecost. Pray for the special coming of the Holy Spirit. Think of yourself as My spouse dwelling in the pure Heart of Mary and in My Sacred Heart. Feel the deep union of your hearts in Me.

                Given February 23, 2009

                Writing by Rita Ring

                    Religious are to witness —
                to live a holy life to manifest
                to men their love of God —

                    We thank the Holy Spirit for His gifts
                to us —

                    We have hope in the Lord Jesus —
                We are faithful to the Church —
                We consecrate our lives to Jesus and Mary
                and we live in great holiness —
                lives living according to the Plan of
                the Father — united deeply to Jesus in
                the Holy Spirit —

                    We follow Christ
                    We are faithful to Jesus —
                    We are witnesses of His teachings in
                        our lives

                We live with vigor in our lives because
                we are the spouse of Jesus serving
                Him.

                    Religious are usually virgins —
                this is how deeply many give themselves
                to Christ — they should be proud
                of their gift —

                    We do this for growth in God's
                Kingdom — we never lose sight
                of how we live to build the Kingdom
                of God —

                    Our Hearts are on fire for Jesus
                we love God.

                Spiritual Discipline

                    We see in Genesis how the devil
                tempted Eve and he continued until
                she gave in — the devil appealed to
                her pride — she wanted to be equal
                to God

                    The Bible begins with creation —
                The light - etc. — God makes Adam
                and says he is to be in His own
                image and likeness — God makes Eve
                from the side of Adam — Adam comes
                from the soil, Eve from the side of
                Adam

                    We see Christ — the Son of God — the New
                Adam coming into the world — a baby
                from the belly of a human creature —
                The New Eve, Mary, conceived without
                sin —

                    Every human person is marked with original
                sin in the womb of a human
                creature except for Mary

                    Through the Power of the Holy Spirit
                Mary conceived the child Jesus —
                God-made-man

                    Jesus came into this world —
                The Savior of the world — to save
                a fallen race

                    But man has original sin from his entrance
                into the womb and through the pierced
                side of Jesus the Church was
                born —

                    Water for the baptism
                    Blood for the Eucharist

                    And although baptism takes
                away original sin, its effects
                remain and

                    Man has tendencies toward
                evil —

                    Blaming others

                    Concupiscence of the flesh

                Seeking dominance for dominance
                    sake

                Jealousy, lust, envy, slothfulness
                    pride, anger

                Selfishness

                Focus on self — not loving others

                Tension between men and women

                Men wanting dominance over
                    women

                Mary appears at Fatima a messenger
                    from God —

                    She tells us Jesus wants His
                Sacred Heart venerated next to Mary's
                Immaculate Heart —

                    Now we are the poor banished
                children of Adam and Eve conceived
                with original sin except for Mary

                    And God sends Mary conceived
                without sin to bear the God-made-Man
                to save a fallen race

                    The offense of original sin
                was against Deity and Jesus, the
                Son of God, the Lamb of God,
                comes the sacrifice to
                pay for that sin — Jesus lived, died
                and rose.

                    The Mass is the sacrifice of
                Calvary — sacramentally made
                present —

                    Jesus remains with us this day
                through the consecrated hands of
                our priests.

                    The priest is another Christ to
                us.

                    Jesus, the Chief Priest and Victim —           
                We unite to the holy sacrifice of the
                Mass to help bring down grace
                for the world.

                    We receive a special commission
                in baptism in the Catholic faith —
                as members of the mystical body
                of Christ — to live united to the Holy
                Sacrifice of the Mass —

                    Our whole lives should be an
                offering — we offer ourselves united
                to the Mass in what we do all
                day, all night — our lives an
                offering —

                    When we give our tainted hearts
                to the Sacred Heart, pure and holy, and
                the Immaculate Heart, pure and
                holy, we offer a more pure sacrifice —
                every thing we do in trying to live
                our lives should be in our
                awareness of ourselves as members
                of the mystical body of Christ
                united to the Mass going on
                around the world — to help bring
                down grace for the world —

                    We offer all simple things
                that we do in doing God's will
                in love — realizing it is in
                serving God, doing His will in
                love that is most pleasing to Him.

                    When I go to Mass daily, I am
                not a silent spectator — I am
                united so deeply to the Mass —
                The penitential rite at the beginning
                so I can offer a more pure sacrifice,
                my life, myself, united to the sacrifice
                of Jesus, to the Father in the Holy
                Spirit with all the angels and saints
                in the pure and holy Hearts of
                Jesus and Mary —

                Jesus is the Light of the world —
                I become more one with Him —
                I am united to Him — more deeply
                one with the Father in the Holy
                Spirit — 

                    It is right that we make
                this offering of ourselves united
                in the Mass to Jesus to make
                reparation for sins —

                    And God outpours His grace
                on the world because of our holy
                offering

                    We pray for the souls of the
                earth — the souls Jesus died
                for —

                    We believe God will hear us

                    This is a most pleasing sacrifice
                offered to the Father

                    We give our love to God — 

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

-God's Blue Book, December 27, 1995

                    Giving love to God is the
                greatest thing we can do —
                in uniting ourselves, praying for
                the souls of the earth —

                We give love to others —

                We love ourselves

                Jesus is the Lamb of God
                    who takes away the sins
                    of the world

                We are one in this Holy Sacrifice
                    of the Mass

                Thanking

                Petitioning

                Reparation

                Giving love

                Praise

                I never lose hope —

                I know this gift given to us —

                    The members of the mystical
                body need to be educated about
                being united to the Mass —
                their lives a sacrifice —
                the participation at Mass —
                the great gift God gives man
                    in this troubled world

                We must pray for our priests who
                    bring us the Mass
                Pray for the Church and the world
                help make reparation, as Mary
                said at Fatima, for offending
                God —

                    I am thankful

                    God is all Powerful

                I believe there will be this
                    era of Peace as Mary
                    promised at Fatima

                This era of love of the Sacred
                    Heart and Immaculate Heart
                    as Jesus told Fr. Carter

                I love the Mass —

                I live the Mass —

                The Mass is the sacrifice of
                    Calvary sacramentally
                    made present

                Jesus is the Lamb of God

                The Church is the body of Christ
                    Alleluia — help me spread this
                        Good News
 

                God said

                    "Let there be light" and there was light

                        CALL — Response

                Jesus in a message said —

                    I say to the flowers to grow and
                        they grow

                God commands the seas

                We are to hear God's call and respond —

                God calls us to be likened to Him —

                We are to want this, strive to be this

                God created "day"
                God created "night"

                On the "spiritual journey" we are
                    to live in the spirit —

                    Since we know we have concupiscence,
                tendencies toward evil —

                    We must pray for discernment

                    A person getting messages, must
                have discernment — if not they
                can continue down a darker and
                darker road led by the devil and
                if they are, they can keep going
                down the wrong path quickly

                    The religious life is to lead
                one to greater perfection likened to
                God.

                    Mary at Fatima told the children
                to sacrifice. People in nursing homes
                can try to complain all day — do they
                stay — if they want their way and only
                think of what selfish trouble they
                can cause — complaining and provoking
                others — being bitter and blaming others —
                My step-mother was so kind — everyone
                loved her

                She loved Jesus —

                Her life centered around Jesus

                She died at 95 —

                All my children loved and missed
                    grandma

                Here is a homily from my step-mother's
                    death — about My mom and
                another homily about a nun and my mom
                    that died

Rosella Robinson

Funeral November 12, 2005

In Rosella we have all had a good friend. Offering sympathy is in order, because we’ve lost a step-mother, a grandmother, an aunt, a friend, a wonderful lady. At the same time we are not here to grieve but to celebrate. We celebrate that Rosella lived a good and full life for 95 years, that she died a peaceful death, that she lived and died filled with God’s grace. We also celebrate our faith that she is now enjoying the rewards of eternal life. As our first reading says: “The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them. They seemed in the view of the foolish to be dead…but they are in peace.” For the bible, a fool is someone who doesn’t believe in God. Their vision of reality is limited. Their mind is closed to anything they cannot discover for themselves. So death is the end of life in the view of a foolish person, since they have no belief in God. But for one who has faith, there is more to life than just the few years we spend on this earth. There is unending life with God. If a fool is someone who doesn’t believe in God, then by those standards, Rosella was a person with profound and extraordinary wisdom. Her life was centered on God and her prayers were for those she loved that they too would live a life centered on God.

I was talking with George the other evening and he said whenever she called him she would introduce herself as: “This is Rosella, your godmother.” She took her role seriously. George said by reminding him she was his godmother, he thinks she was also reminding him that she had the responsibility and the authority to straighten him out if he needed it. I’m sure all her godchildren got gentle reminders at times and I’m sure they got lots of extra prayers as well.

The gospel I chose for our Mass today was on the Eucharist. The Eucharist was so important to Rosella. She would come to Mass every day when she could. Jesus tells us “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.” It is in this faith that I can say we are here to celebrate, knowing Rosella was well nourished with the bread of life, the body and blood of Jesus who promised: “whoever eats this bread will live forever.”

In 1952 our mother, Alice, died. Rosella knew Alice and often Rosella told me that because of the friendship they shared, she felt she should step in and help out after Alice died. And she did when she married my father in February, 1953. For over 52 years she has been with us. She was a caregiver through and through. When she was finished caring for us, she cared for her sister, Catherine, and she cared for her grandchildren. It was what made her happy, to be needed by someone. And she didn’t want to inconvenience anyone. She would always tell me, “Now if you have something planned and something happens to me, don’t change your plans. Just go ahead with what you were going to do.”

All kinds of great things could be said about Rosella, her kindness, her gentleness, her faith, her dedication to family. One thing I always remarked about was that I seldom heard her say a negative thing about anyone. Dad would often get frustrated with her when he wanted to complain about someone and she would make excuses for them or stand up for them.

I have no worries about where she is now. I’m sure she can say with St. Paul: “ I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. From now on a merited crown awaits me…” I believe she now must have a double crown, the first for living with my father (I loved my father, but those who knew him will understand what I mean). The second crown would be for taking over the care of five children, four in grade school and me in high school.

Since she’s been at the Little Sisters, who took wonderful care of her, I would try to visit her every week. Whenever I was about to leave she would say “If I don’t see you next week, I’ll be on my way to heaven.” She was peaceful with her God, with herself and with those who knew her. She was ready to go. So I can’t grieve. I can only say thank you God for giving us a good woman to take care of us when we needed her, a good woman to inspire us in the way of holiness and a good woman to pray for us and whom I am sure will continue to pray for us until we’re all together.

When she died a week ago we were enjoying the beautiful colors of fall. The red and yellow and gold trees were telling us that summer is over. But we do not grieve that the green leaves are gone and that nature is shutting down for we know it’s only temporary. Spring will return and so will a new life for Rosella and for all of us, a life that will never end. Amen.

32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

November 6, 2005

INTRODUCTION: (Wisdom 6,12-16; Matthew 25, 1-13) Wisdom and intelligence, to some extent, are connected with one another, but I’ve known intelligent people who were not always wise. Wisdom is more than intelligence. It is the ability to see the great mysteries of life in greater depth. It is gained from experience, and learning, and meditation, and it is practical as we hear Jesus explain it in today’s gospel. When I read the paper about those who are fighting against the teaching that the universe could have come about by “intelligent design,” I wonder if it’s wisdom that they are missing out on. In spite of mysteries we can’t solve, they can’t conceive the possibility that there is some intelligence behind all that exists in our universe. Our first reading tells us wisdom is available for anyone who seeks it with honesty and openness. But those who find the search for wisdom too much trouble will be deprived of it.

HOMILY: A wedding is a big deal for us today, but after months of preparation, it’s over in just a few hours. At the time of Jesus it was really a big deal. They would celebrate for days. And there was no such thing as saying the wedding will be at such and such a place at 6:30 in the evening. According to custom the groom would go to the bride’s house to negotiate with the bride’s father and then the groom would bring the bride with him to his home and the celebrating would begin. On their approach to the home of the husband, the couple were to be met by ten virgins carrying lamps. (Street lights weren’t invented yet, you know.) Perhaps the groom was doing a little partying on his own before he went to claim his bride from her father, or maybe the groom and the father did a lot of dickering over what possessions the bride would bring with her when she left. At any rate no one worried too much about the time, especially since the celebration would last for a few days. The wise virgins were smart enough to prepare for whatever might happen. The foolish ones used no foresight at all. That’s part of wisdom: foresight, thinking ahead, considering what could happen if we take or do not take a certain course of action, being prepared. Jesus applies his lesson to eternal life. We’re only in this life for a short time. “Our citizenship is in heaven,” St. Paul tells us. We’re just tourists here, no matter what country or city we call home. Everything is temporary. Jesus tells us the wise person thinks ahead, they know some day they will have to meet their maker and they are practical. They make sure that they will be prepared when the Lord shows up on their doorstep.

We can’t interpret the oil in the story too literally. If we think of it as a material object that could be shared, we’re going to think how selfish of those five wise virgins. But it is something symbolic that is intangible, something that cannot be given to someone else. It is something that we have worked for like a loving relationship with God or the good works we have done or the wisdom we have gained through prayer and meditation. The person we have come to be through God’s grace can’t just be put into a bottle and given to someone else.

When I read about these five wise women, I can’t help mentioning two wise women I knew well who have met the bridegroom this past week. The first was Sister Joann, our principal here at St. Boniface for 18 years. As a dedicated Sister of Charity for 55 years, almost all of that time serving as a teacher or a principal, I can only marvel how many lives she has touched and how many people’s lives have been blessed because of her. Her lamp was filled with good works. The other wise woman I am thinking of is my step-mother. When I was 14 years old, the oldest of five, my mother died. My dad had five children to raise. Within a few months, Rosella came into our lives. She and my father were soon married and Rosella took care of us, until we had to start taking care of her. For the past three years the Little Sisters of the Poor took over caring for her and they did a marvelous job. After 52 years as our step-mother, we said good by to her this week as God took her. She was a wise lady, always putting God first. Her day always began with daily Mass when she was able to get to church. At the Little Sisters she was able to get to daily Mass, although at 95 she sometimes slept through it. She always taught us, and her step-grandchildren, to keep God first too. I would visit her every week and whenever I was leaving she would tell me: “If you don’t see me next week, I’m on my way to heaven.” She was totally at peace with herself, her God and all people she knew. Her lamp was filled with good works.

Our gospel is a little frightening today. It tells us about ten women, five of whom were prudent and wise and five who lost out on a grand time because they were not. The frightening thing was, they almost made it. There’s a saying “almost doesn’t count, except in horseshoes.” Our eternal happiness is too important to leave to “almost.” God wants us to be happy. He wants us to spend eternity with him. And for that we must give him our love. And love isn’t a matter of almost. A couple in love do not say to one another “I almost love you.” Love is total. The only way we’ll be totally happy is to totally love the God who is love. Amen.

end of homilies

                Religious orders are to teach order

                In this disordered world God can bring
                    order to the chaos

                We see this all through the history of
                    the world —

                People cause chaos —

                Giving into undisciplined lives —

                Wanting their way

                Not working with others under just authority

                    God has given us a vocation — He
                expects us to live our lives according to
                that vocation — loving God and others

                    The devil presses on people to be
                self-focused

                    The deacon yesterday as Mass gave a
                homily here is some of what he said —

                There are 3 kinds of people

                1) People who help others

                2) People who need help, all of us

                3) People who stand around and
                    want people to come to them —

                People who stand around and
                    get in the way
                    grippers
                    help no one, but themselves

                The strong guys who help each other
                    say
                    "We don't take no for an answer"

                They are determined to do it —

                They work hard — they get the job done

                Song: The Rosary Song

Given February 20, 1999

R. The mouth on the Lady of Fatima statue moved as she gave the following message at the 6:30 p.m. prayer time.

Mary: I wish my apparition site in Florida to be called the "Rosary Factory". From this site I will distribute rosaries to the world. (R. Mary says it is still to be referred to as the Virgin Mary building. The "Rosary Factory" title is to refer to this important ministry, but it does not in any way include all of the ministries of Shepherds of Christ.)

The expensive rosaries to the less expensive rosaries can be sold there at reasonable prices.

All rosaries will be available for those who come.

Rosaries of the less expensive kind will be made available for schools and classrooms.

I wish rosary makers all over the world to contribute to the completion of my Fatima mission through this ministry. This will help provide funds to maintain the building.

It will be noted that the Virgin Mary building is a rosary factory.

I ask all who can to contribute by supplying rosaries for the world.

I do not wish my apostles to be making the rosaries, I wish the people from all over the world to declare themselves as Mary's rosary helpers and help to supply rosaries to the Virgin Mary building. Shepherds of Christ apostles must do all my Son has instructed.

Through the Rosary Makers of America, I wish to draw all into this endeavor. You are all handmaids of the Lord serving Him by honoring my wishes which I gave at Fatima to pray the rosary and consecrate your hearts.

Do you see me on the Building?

Come to me and I will bless you and give you abundant graces.

My rosary makers will help support my site by supplying rosaries for the world.

Rosaries of all types will be available there.

I wish all sects to come and learn to pray the rosary.

I wish school children to come in groups and pray my Son's prayers (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual) and the rosary before my image.

I wish all to come and pray before me and my Son, Jesus, on the crucifix.

The Father will see you and be glad, for you are Our children, children of the Father and your heavenly Mother, praying as He intends for your Church and your world.

Come to my building. I appear, I appear, I appear and I am ignored. I am your Mother, how can you ignore the sign heaven gives to you, my children? I am Mary, your Mother. Will you help spread the rosary to the world? Will you be a shepherd for your God, will you pray as the Good Shepherd has instructed (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual) and also pray the rosary? Why do you think I appear? Look my children, I am smiling at you and praying with you. Will you be a rosary maker for me? I will bless the hands that make rosaries for my "Rosary Factory". I will give them great peace. I wish children in schools to help me. I wish the aged in nursing homes to help me by praying the rosary with tapes and making rosaries when possible. I wish people all over the world to pray the Shepherds of Christ Prayers (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual) and the rosary at 6:30 p.m., asking for the Holy Spirit to come in a special way.

Please do not turn away. Help me today, please help me to spread the rosary from my site in Florida.

Please help me to reach my priests with the priestly newsletter and the rosary.

Please help me to reach the elderly with these prayers (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual) and my request to pray the rosary.

Please help me to reach my children with my request to begin Junior Shepherds of Christ chapters and to pray the rosary.

Please help me, I am the Queen of Peace. I wish my site to be a Rosary Factory for the world. What can you give to help this site to do as the Mother asks–make rosaries for the children of Mary?

I am Mary your Mother. Thank you for responding to my request.

This rosary was received on Thursday, February 13^th, 1997 at an International Shepherds of Christ Associates Meeting at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. The rosary was led by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J., spiritual director of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. The meditations and messages were given to Rita Ring during the rosary. This rosary was received live and transcribed from the recording. This live recording can be obtained by writing Shepherds of Christ Publications. All of these meditations have been discerned by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J.

The Agony in the Garden

1. Jesus: I have promised to be with you in a special way, My beloved ones. I am Jesus. I am with you this day, this special time to deliver to you messages that will help to bring about the completion of the Fatima messages. Mary appeared at Fatima from May the 13^th until October the 13^th of 1917. I am Jesus. Beginning October the 13^th of 1996, the Fatima message will unfold through these messages that I deliver to you on the 13^th. I am Jesus. These are My messages that I am giving to you, My apostles, that I have called here, to help bring about the completion of the Fatima message. My Heart will reign, My Sacred Heart will reign in the hearts of men and from the tabernacle. Many people will love, love God with the deepest burning love. You, My beloved ones, I have called you to come this day to be My apostles to go into the world, to carry out My burning love to the souls that are suffering and in pain. Will you answer this call? You are here because I have called you. You are the apostles. You are the messengers. I am giving to you the messages to help bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart. I am Jesus. I have spoken. My Father has spoken from this church. He has delivered to you two messages that you must read in the Apostles’ Manual. The Apostles’ Manual is given to you to study that you will know what I am asking. I am asking you to go out and to carry My love letters to this world. It is through these love letters that many will know My burning love. Men will love God in a way that they have not loved God before, with a deep, burning love. It is through these letters they will know the most intimate secrets of My Heart. I love you with such love, My beloved ones. Open your heart now and listen to the messages that I deliver to you, My apostles.

2. R. Jesus has asked that I read the following message from the third Blue Book on June the 12^th, 1994 entitled "The Carpenter". 
   Jesus: "You are he who goes to a carpenter to learn to make a cabinet. You know nothing. You do not have any idea of what you are to do. The carpenter knows exactly. He has a procedure whereby his plan will be accomplished. Every detail must be observed. He is the Master. You do not have the talent. You need talent to do woodwork. If you were given the talent and the directions, you could accomplish this task with such beauty. I am the carpenter. You are he who needs to be taught. You lack the talent. You need the gifts of the Spirit to accomplish My task! You come to Me in total ignorance. You are open, the Spirit fills you with the gifts. You have everything you need to do My work. The Father created you to accomplish His tasks. You are perfect. You must come open. You must know the plan. The plan is His will for you. If you do not follow the plan, the cabinet will not be built correctly. I am the Master. I guide you. I love you. I give you all you need. I walk you through every move. If you try on your own, you have a problem. You know not the way to build cabinets. You know not the way to Me on your own. You must come to Me to be taught. To go it alone is to your own detriment. Oh, little one, it is so simple. You, and your will, want to work your own plans. You know not how to do it. Only I can teach you what you need to know. Oh, please come to Me. I have all you need. The Spirit fills you with the gifts to know, love and serve God. To go it alone is like trying to build the cabinet with no knowledge of woodworking. Oh, little ones, I love you. Come to Me. Let Me teach you. The will of the Father is the happiness of your life. I am Jesus Christ, Son of God. I am God. I, God, long to be with you and to teach you. Go not off on your own. Come to Me. I love you so!"¹

3. Song: "Oh the rosary, the rosary..."

4. R. And the Father told me on January the 5^th of 1995 that the Father’s plan will unfold despite all the willfulness of all those involved. He gave to us two messages in January of 1997, the messages from the Father. Mary appeared every day for fourteen months and she gave messages and she cried out. People did not listen to the pleadings of their Mother. Jesus has given to us these messages to bring about the reign of His Sacred Heart. Mary appeared on the 5^th of every month for two years and four months. And Jesus on the 5^th of December appeared instead of Mary, dying on the cross with His mouth moving. And He said that people were not hearing Him. Then He began to deliver very strong messages starting December the 19^th. I received these strong messages. Every night He would wake me and give me very strong messages. In January the Father began to speak, on the 5^th of the month neither Jesus nor Mary appeared. On the 5^th of February, I was sick and could not go to the rosary and receive this message. The messages in the Apostles’ Manual, these are His messages for you. For in these live rosaries, Jesus is delivering the messages to help bring about the completion of the Fatima message. He speaks in the message and He says that when you listen to the live tapes in a candlelight setting, when you pray the rosary fervently that He will be there and His Mother will be there in a special way and grant to you special graces. And all those present will receive special graces to be drawn ever closer to His Heart and the Heart of His Mother. They appeared, both Jesus and Mary, over and over again. Now the Father has spoken. He is calling you the apostles to go out to carry the tapes and the live rosaries to your individual chapters, not in the churches but in private homes, in private settings where you can play these live rosaries where the people there can participate in the rosary and Jesus and Mary will be there with you. They will give you special graces to draw you ever closer to Their Hearts. And you will receive the graces He says that He has given when He was there and delivered the rosaries. This is His calling. These rosaries and messages will spread throughout the world and people will know the special grace when they pray this rosary in candlelight as Mary has requested. You are the apostles. You will carry Their messages to the far ends of the earth. And the world will know the fire of His love. For this is a new era, it is a new way. It will be a new earth in which men will love God with this great intimacy as never before and He is revealing in these messages, the intimate secrets into His Heart. He is longing for our love. Look at Him now in the tabernacle. See Jesus. Know that He is with us. Hear Him crying out to you, "Oh, come to Me and tell Me of your love. I am a Person and I am longing for you to tell Me how much you love Me. I am Jesus." This will be the era of great love. When we love one another as the Father intended and we love God with our whole hearts, our whole souls, and our whole beings and there will not be bumping of heads on this earth, but the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign in all hearts and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign from His throne, the tabernacle, in all churches. And the earth will be lighted with the burning fire of His love.

5. And so how do we feel now? Are we persecuted? As Father said in his homily, we are suffering. But there will be the new life and there will be this new earth and we will fervently love God with the deepest love. See Jesus in the garden. I know how it has felt many times to hear Jesus call out from the tabernacle, "Come to Me. I long for that soul that loves Me so dearly, for that soul that comes to Me and just outpours their love to Me." See Jesus in the garden and see the sweat come from His brow on the ground. For His greatest agony was not the agony of knowing that He would suffer, of knowing the wounds, His greatest agony was for the neglect, for the indifference, for the hatred, for what is inside of the hearts of men when He is love and He longs for love and He wants us to love one another. The greatest agony was the agony within His most Sacred Heart filled with divine love.

6. Song: "I come to you with greatest love..."
   Jesus: You are My apostles that I am calling to go into this world. And I am giving to you a heart filled with love. As you come to Me, as you come and you adore the Almighty God and you pray before the tabernacle, I outpour to you the greatest grace and you will carry My love into this world. Many will know the burning fire of My love through you.

7. R. Jesus wants intimacy with us. He wants communication with us. He gave a special message that is in the front of the book. The new messages are in the front of the book. Jesus wants this: for ten minutes every day, He wants you to take a notebook, He said a red notebook for the fire of His love, and to write in that notebook every day how you feel in your heart about your beloved Jesus. In this ten minutes that you write to Him, you will communicate to Him the desires in your heart, the troubles in your heart, the feelings that you have in your heart to the Almighty God, our Divine Lover. We will become intimate with Him as we write to Him in this love letter. And after the ten minutes of writing to Him, telling Him whatever is in our hearts, if it is love, if it is joy, we are sharing with Him intimately the depth of our heart. And then He has requested that you open the Blue Book messages which are His love letters to you and for ten minutes read love letters from Him. Read each word as if Jesus is speaking to you and hear His words of love as He outpours them to you. And after this for the following ten minutes to spend this time conversing with Jesus, being intimate with Jesus, sharing whatever is in your heart with His Heart. This tool that He has given to us will increase our intimacy with Him. How can we be intimate with Jesus if we do not really share the desires that are deep in our heart with Him? This is His tool. These are His love letters that He writes to you.

8. Oh, my beloved Jesus, I love You so much. How many times I have come to this tabernacle and I have sat before the tabernacle and I felt Your presence, the King on His throne, the Almighty God. And I have cried and cried and I have heard You call out to me and say, "I long for the soul that comes to Me and tells Me how much they love Me. I long for that soul. I want to hear the words of love from your lips. I want love from you. Bring Me souls. Bring Me souls for I long and I thirst for the precious souls that I love, that I gave My life for, that I suffered for, that I sweat Blood for. I am God. I am love. And I long for love from My beloved souls, but how few come to Me and tell Me how they love Me."

9. And so I know this Person, this Person, a Divine Person, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, that came and gave Himself for love of me and gives Himself to me every day in the Eucharist. He comes and He gives Himself to me. And I write these letters to Him and He becomes more and more alive in my heart, as I read the messages that He has delivered to me. These are His messages to bring about the reign of His Sacred Heart, where there will be such intimacy between God and man as there has never been before in the past. These are His letters given to bring about the completion of the Fatima message as Mary promised. The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph. Mary appeared at Fatima. She told us her peace plan. Jesus gives to us this day the most intimate secrets into the love in His Heart.

10. Mary appeared over and over and over again. She appeared at Fatima. She appeared here in the Cincinnati area and her call was to bring in the children, the children of light, that they would consecrate their hearts to her and that she would then take them to the Heart of her Son. The plan was to bring the children to her Heart and then to lead them to these messages that would bring about the reign of His Sacred Heart. For they are Jesus’ love letters, love letters that will help us to love Him with the greatest intimacy. But Satan blocked this plan. Mary called and the people came and Satan was strong for he did not want the reign of the Sacred Heart to come. So he blocked the messages that would lead people deeply into the Heart of Jesus. The Father has assured me and in these messages that His plan will unfold despite all of the tactics of Satan and anyone to try to block these messages. These are great revelations that He has given to us, that we will know Him in a most intimate way as we have never known God before.

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. R. And so we must be protected against the wiles of the evil one for he aims to stop all messages that will take men deeply into the Heart of Christ. Mary called and the children came. And it is in consecrating our hearts to Mary that we will be able to go deeply into the Heart of Christ.

2. I sat in this chapel and received so many messages. There are so many stories given from the Father, from Jesus, and from Mary, that They have given to us to tell us about the Father’s plan. I remember sitting in this chapel and I looked at the window where Jesus was being whipped at the pillar and I said to Jesus, I said, "Jesus, what were You thinking when You were being beaten?" And He said, "I was thinking of you sitting in the pew and telling Me of your love." For Jesus suffered such bitter persecution, such bitter wounds, but the love that we give to Him was sweetness during His bitter Passion. He was beaten, His flesh was torn, His Heart was broken, for He knew all the souls that would neglect Him, hate Him, and would be condemned to hell despite all that He did. But He also knew the great love that we give to Him and it was such sweetness to His Heart as He suffered during His Passion.

3. And so the plan of the Father unfolds and He said how important this chapel is to His plan. We look at the mysteries of the rosary in the windows from the beginning, from the Annunciation all the way to when Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. We walk these mysteries in the lives of Jesus and Mary and Their lives live in us as we meditate on the mysteries of the rosary and as we read these meditations that He has given to us. It is in these meditations that His life lives in us in a special way. He is in my heart, and my soul, and my whole being from these revelations. This is what He wants. He wants to be so one with us that He lives in us, that every word of Scripture vibrates within us as we hear the words. We know Him and we love Him in each word in scripture, in each word in the Mass. We cry. We fall to our faces. We worship, we adore the Almighty God. If we could see at this very moment, if we could see with eyes unveiled, we could not even see because of the immensity of the power of the Almighty God. He is here. God. And He is on His throne in this room and He is longing for us to tell Him of our great love for Him. Oh, Jesus, how dearly I love You. And the great gift that we are here and that God is in this room with us. Who are we that the Almighty God is here in this room with us? Oh, what a gift He has given to us. I want to cherish and love Him with all my heart for He is all my heart craves. God is here.

4. There is bitterness and there is sweetness. There is bitterness and there is sweetness. There was a time when I prayed in this chapel for years and then I was told to pray in a different place and there was bitterness. As I sat in the pew, I felt such sorrow within my heart because I had all these special rendezvous with my beautiful Jesus and Mary in this chapel, times that I met Him most intimately and I loved Him. And I did not want to leave and I went and prayed elsewhere. And He gave to me greater intimacies with Him. We are sitting here in the pew this day. We do not know what the future will hold. We only know that the Father’s plan will unfold and that men will love God with greater and greater love. Jesus is here in the tabernacle with us today, the Almighty God. Do we treasure this within our hearts? For tomorrow we may not have this great gift in the availability that we have it today. We do not know. Think of the great gifts that God has given to us in the Mass and in the Eucharist and how He is treated. I was sick and I could not go to Mass and I am writing the Mass Book. And in that book I recalled the most intimate times all through the Mass when I was so close to Jesus and He spoke to me and He told me of the great intimacy that He wants with us and that the Mass is the greatest love affair that there is, when He gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him. This is what the Mass is. It’s a great love affair with Jesus. And so I could not go to Mass for a week and it was so hard as it was when I could not pray in this chapel for a while. It was hard but He was there in another tabernacle and He outpoured His great gifts. God is in this room at this moment in all His might and divinity. God is present. What a great gift He gives to us. He is outpouring His grace to us at this moment. We are being saturated with His divine life. He is outpouring His love. He wants us to open our hearts and to tell Him, "Oh, Jesus, I love You." He is a Person and He is waiting for an intimate love. He is revealing to us the secrets of His Heart that we will more fervently love Him than any people before in history. He wants us to love Him, to love Him now.

5. On March the 13^th, I remember this as if it happened yesterday, in 1994, Jesus called out from the tabernacle. This was at St. Phillips and it was so strong. He says, "I died for you, sweet one." This is from the Blue Book Two, "I allow you to suffer. This is suffering. You are given this to know how I suffered. You I only give such little things. I suffered, sweet one. I suffered, bloodied, bruised and beaten. Blood rolled down My cheeks. My head was pierced with sharp thorns. They spat on Me. They whipped Me. They beat Me on My head, My precious head. They hit Me on My thorns and the pain was so intense–the piercing thorns! I was slapped hard by these senseless ones. Oh, such evil in the hearts of those who beat Me, the Son of God! My whole Body ached from head to toe. I suffered so, My child. You will never know how I suffered for love of you. I am God and I loved all My precious ones to My death–and they ignore Me! Oh, how I suffer from this wounded Heart. They will never know what love I have to give them. They will never know how I, God, love them. They are so busy with their worldly lives!" And He was so emotional here, I cried and my insides felt like I was torn within from what He hollered at me and it was this, "You must tell them how I wait for them. I wait. I want them to come and I will give them such love! Tell them, Rita, tell them! Your discontent is from what emotions I give you and you keep them inside. I want all to know Me and My love. I am crying out to you, little one. Tell them, tell them. Do not waste any time. I am crying out for you to spread this message. I want you to tell all of My love and how I am waiting. Emotion! Emotion! I am crying out to you in your heart! I long for their love. I died for them. How do I make them know if you, to whom I speak, hold back? I want you to get the messages out, child. I loved all My beloved ones to My death."²

6. Song: "I come to you with greatest love..."

7. Jesus: And so, My soldiers of love, I call you this day to be the soldiers that will go into the dark night and will spread My love to My beloved ones. I give to you the letters of My love. I give to you this special gift, the gift of knowing Me in the most intimate way. You must come to Me everyday. You must spend an hour with Me everyday, if you can, before the tabernacle for it is there that I give you a great sharing in My life. But if you cannot, you must spend an hour alone with Me in your home every day. In this hour I will tell you of My intimate love for you. Write to Me your letter. Read My letters to you. Spend this hour alone with Me and I will sort out in your mind all of the confusion. I will give you secrets into My Heart. I will call you to the deepest chamber of My Heart and I will give you great love. I am Jesus. You are My lovers that will carry My love to the world today. You must put aside all of the bitterness and hatred in your heart for a heart that is filled with anger cannot unite to My Heart. My way is love. You are My apostles of love. You must be loving in your hearts.

8. R. Look at Jesus tied to the pillar. See Him with the sores all over His Body and His flesh is torn. Do you see Jesus there. This is how He loved us. He loved even those men that beat Him. My beloved Jesus, I know how it is today and how hard it is to love. I beg You for the grace that my heart may be more and more like Yours for I fall and I want to love like You. It is only through Your grace that I can be better.

9. Jesus: I am giving to you great grace in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to come ever closer to My Heart. I am asking you to spread the chapters to this world. I am asking you to pray the prayers, to consecrate your hearts all through the day, to say the Holy Spirit prayer and the consecration prayers that you will be joined in one mind and one heart for you are My shepherds that will go into the darkness and will help unite all of the people with the fire of My love.

10. Hail Mary...

 

            The Crowning With Thorns

1. R. And the King will reign on His throne. All men will love God with a burning love. This great era will come soon. He is giving to us great grace at this moment that we will know Him more intimately, that we will be able to help carry out what the Father is asking us to do to bring about the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary’s Immaculate Heart.

2. So Mary appeared at Fatima and she told us what we must do. We must carry the consecration into this world, to the church, to the family, to the school. It is in giving our hearts to Mary that we become children of light, that the Holy Spirit works within our hearts to make us more and more like Jesus. And that when we go to the Heart of Mary in her pure and Immaculate Heart, we can then go into the Heart of Christ and unite to Him.

3. There will be this great era in which men will do what the Father wills them to do. There will be great love among men. We will live as the Father intended us to live. It is in the Shepherds of Christ Movement that He is calling us to be one in His Heart. And as we are one in His Heart and as we spread the consecrations, we lead the strayed ones home to His Heart.

4. See the Heart of Jesus surrounded by a crown of thorns. See His head pierced with a crown of thorns. He is the King. He is the King of heaven and earth. He does not wear a crown of jewels but He wears a crown of thorns for He longs for love. He gave Himself for love of us. It is up to us to give ourselves to Him in love and to give ourselves to one another in love. His Heart is a heart of love. He wants us to be one with each other and to be one in Him.

5. And so how is it that I can say, "I can love you, but not love you. And I can love you, and not love you" when the Heart of Jesus loves all souls. He gave His life for each and every soul. If I am divided in my heart toward any person, I am dividing myself from Jesus, for I will not be able to unite in the deepest union with Him when there is anger and bitterness and hatred in my heart. So we are hurting ourselves when we are hating and feeling angry in our hearts towards others. His Heart is pure, His Heart is love. He gave Himself for each and every soul. He loved those that crowned Him with thorns, that tore His flesh. He walked with the wounds wide open on His Body and He loved those men. He did not shout at them. He was not arrogant. He walked and He gave Himself for love of each and every soul.

6. Jesus: You are My soldiers of love. I am calling you to be the soldiers that will help bring about this great era.

7. Hail Mary...

8. R. And the soldiers walked across the earth. And you could tell that they were soldiers for Christ for they loved one another, they lived in harmony, they saw the problem, and they worked together to figure out the problem according to the Father’s will for His honor and glory. The Kingdom of God is at hand. We are the people that He is calling to help bring about this great era in which the King will reign on His throne. But we cannot be divided with each other. We must love and do the Father’s will.

9. Jesus: I give to you these messages, My beloved ones, to bring about the reign of My Heart. They are the directions that I am giving to you. You will be My lights that will shine in the darkness. But you must surrender. You must do as the Father is asking you to do. You must come each day and spend this hour alone with Me.

10. R. Jesus gave to me a message last week and He said that the bombs would fly around us. And He said only those that spent this hour would be the ones that would survive. For Satan is trying to stop us. He knows that we have been called, the apostles, to help bring about this era. We cannot do it on our own. It only is in holiness that we can do this. It is only by God’s might that we can do this. If we do not spend the hour alone with God every day, we will have a problem. So Jesus gave to us this special tool of writing these letters so that we will be more intimate with Him. In this time we will share the most intimate desires of our heart with Jesus. This is what He wants, intimacy with us.

 

        The Carrying of the Cross

1. R. Let us be there next to Mary as she walks and she sees her Son with a cross on His back. She sees Him covered with Blood. He is not clothed in a golden robe. He is clothed in a cloak of dried Blood and the cross bears heavy on His back. And they poke at Him and they laugh at Him and they scorn Him. Think of how we are and how we worry about what other people think of us. How we worry about how they are looking at us, what we are wearing. Was Jesus thinking about what people were thinking of Him when He walked with a cross on His back?

2. His Heart was consumed with the greatest divine love. He was filled with such love for men. His greatest agony was not the poking, not the bleeding, not the torn flesh but His greatest agony was the rejection. Think of how it is in your life. Think of how it is when you feel rejected and you do not feel loved. How painful that is. Think of Jesus carrying the weight of the sins of men on His back, loving them with the most perfect love, and seeing before His eyes all of the men that would hate Him and ignore Him and not even have a thought of Him, that would go to the Holy Eucharist, that would come to the church and not even realize that He is there. Think of the people how many times they walk in front of the tabernacle and they do not even genuflect and recognize the Almighty God, the King of all kings, truly present. God, God is there as He is here.
   Song: "In this very room there’s quite enough love for one like me..."
   R. Jesus, Lord Jesus, is in this very room. How are our hearts for our King? Is the King of all kings reigning in our hearts? Or are there places in our hearts where there are debris and bitterness where we love some and we hate others? How are our hearts? Oh, Jesus, King of all kings, give to us the grace to be more like You.

3. I love Jesus so much and I want to be so one with Him, but it is so hard. I know that I must pray more and more. And He is showing to me more and more every day that it is in this hour that I spend alone with Him that this is the true treasure after the Mass and the Holy Eucharist, that this is the treasure. That Satan attacks and he comes as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, if I do not have this intimate time with Him everyday. Just as Jesus said, He said "If we do not spend time alone with Him that the devil will tear us to shreds because of the great mission that God has called us to in the Shepherds of Christ Movement." The plan of the Father will unfold. And it will unfold around us for this is Jesus’ plan for the renewal of the Church and the world. You have been called, an apostle. I have been called, an apostle, and I must spend this time alone with Him every day or Satan will cause us to act in ways that are not like God.

4. Hail Mary...

5. "He put another parable before them, ‘The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While everybody was asleep his enemy came, sowed darnel all among the wheat, and made off. When the new wheat sprouted and ripened, then the darnel appeared as well. The owner’s laborers went to him and said, "Sir, was it not good seed that you sowed in your field? If so, where does the darnel come from?" He said to them, "Some enemy has done this." And the laborers said, "Do you want us to go and weed it out?" But he said, "No, because when you weed out the darnel you might pull up the wheat with it. Let them both grow till the harvest; and at harvest time I shall say to the reapers: First collect the darnel and tie it in bundles to be burnt, then gather the wheat into my barn." ’ " (Matt. 13: 24-30)³

6. R. The Father gave me a very strong message in this chapel and He said that I should read the accounts of Noah. I have not been taught greatly in the Scriptures. I only know what Jesus has taught me and what I have read. I went and read the account of Noah and someone that was typing the rosary said, "Exactly what you said was in Matthew." And so I read this from Matthew 24:37-44. It says: "As it was in Noah’s day, so will it be when the Son of man comes. For in those days before the Flood people were eating, drinking, taking wives, taking husbands, right up to the day Noah went into the ark, and they suspected nothing till the Flood came and swept them all away. This is what it will be like when the Son of man comes. Then of two men in the fields, one is taken, one is left; of two women grinding at the mill, one is taken, one is left. So stay awake, because you do not know the day when your master is coming. You may be quite sure of this, that if the householder had known at what time of the night the burglar would come, he would have stayed awake and would not have allowed anyone to break through the wall of his house. Therefore, you too must stand ready because the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect."⁴

7. And Mary said, "The time is nigh that the children of light walk next to the children of darkness." And she called and she called and she called and men in their willfulness ignored her call. How do we think that the Father expected us to respond to the calling of our heavenly Mother. We are to obey our earthly mother but look at how we have disobeyed our heavenly Mother at Fatima.

8. She appeared over and over and over again and she called to the children of light to come to her Heart. And it was there that she would take them to these messages to lead men deeply into the Heart of her Son. But Satan blocked these messages. Mary appears now as she did not appear before. She appears on the building in Florida. On December the 19^th, I got a very strong message from Jesus and Mary both of which are in the Apostles’ Manual. And Mary said, "I appear on a bank in Florida, my children, because you have made money your god." She said, "I do not appear as I once did." And then she told me to spread the tape, Mary’s Message, which I was told to make on December the 12^th. Mary appears on a building in Florida. She wants to lead men to these messages given by her Son that will help bring about the reign of His Sacred Heart.

9. The time is nigh.

10. The more that we spread the consecration, the more souls will be turned to children of light. Mary has told us at Fatima what we must do. Jesus is giving to us these messages to help bring about the completion of the Fatima message in which His Heart will reign and her Heart will triumph.

 

Jesus Dies on the Cross

1. R. In John 16: 23-28, it says, "When that day comes, you will not ask me any questions. In all truth I tell you, anything you ask from the Father he will grant in my name. Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and so your joy will be complete. I have been telling you these things in veiled language. The hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in veiled language but tell you about the Father in plain words. When that day comes you will ask in my name; and I do not say that I shall pray to the Father for you, because the Father himself loves you for loving me, and believing that I came from God. I came from the Father and have come into the world and now I am leaving the world to go to the Father."⁵

2. Jesus has told me that He is giving His teachings to us in plain talk. He has given twenty books of messages since the end of 1993. As we read these messages we know Him more and more and He lives within our hearts. Every word in the Scriptures penetrates our hearts as a two-edged sword. The more that I read these messages, the more that every word comes alive to me in the Scriptures and in the Mass. He is unveiling the Scriptures in these messages and He is writing the messages of His love on our hearts in plain talk.

3. Jesus appeared on December the 5^th hanging on the cross for twenty minutes and His mouth moved and moved and moved and moved. And He looked as a man hanging on the cross dying and it was horrifying, after seeing Mary appear every single month for over two years and then seeing Jesus instead of Mary when I went there. This is from the Mass Book: "God wants union with us. He wants fire. Many try to love God with a cold heart. They tell Him words that they think they should say that are loving. When one loves, they do not need to be prompted to say words. From the depth of their being they cry out their words of love. It is a cry from within, from the fire within their chest, behind the words. The words are burning in their chest and must be released because of the fire behind them. We are as blind men. We do not see the great gifts that God gives to us. It is as if we stand by the shore of the sea and throw little words at Jesus. We must not be afraid to jump into the water and be completely immersed in His love. He was consumed with such love for us. He gave Himself to His death on the cross. There is a Man on a cross and He tells us so many things. He does not have to speak. When we study Him on the cross, He speaks to us with His pierced hands, His head covered with Blood, His Body withered and beaten. He speaks to us of His undying love. Oh, beloved Savior, I am blind. I am selfish. I do not see the great reservoir of love that You give to Me. I see the Man dying on the cross. How do I see Him?"

4. I saw Jesus on the cross on December the 5^th and He looked as a dying man on the cross. His Body was that of a live Man. And in all His agony, I saw His mouth move and move and move. For He has spoken over and over and over again of His love and we do not hear. He is asking you today to help to spread His letters of love into this world. It is through these revelations that He has given that He will greatly bring about the reign of His Sacred Heart. For men will intimately love God in a way that they have not loved God before. He has opened Himself up wide and revealed the deepest secrets into His most intimate love. And we have not treated this great gift with the gratitude that we should. He wants us to take these letters and to spread them to the souls that are hurting and in pain, that they will read His words of love and that He will reign as King in their hearts.

5. And what is the mighty medicine for the sick world, for the world that is hurting, that longs for love, that has suffered so many abuses? What is the mighty medicine? It is the burning love of Jesus Christ. It must be in the hearts of men. As men give themselves in consecration to the Heart of Mary and to the Heart of Jesus, the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign in their hearts and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph.

6. There is a Man hanging on the cross and He does not have to speak. If we study Him, we will see His undying, everlasting love.

7. Jesus: I have delivered to you this day this rosary, My beloved ones. I want your love. I want you to come to My Heart. I want you to give Me your heart, all through the day to tell Me, "Oh, Jesus, how I love You and I give myself to You." I will be King and Center of your heart when you come to Me and you spend time with Me after you have received Holy Communion, when you come to Me and you spend time before the tabernacle, when you spend intimate moments with Me in your room at home. I want intimacy with you. It takes time to be intimate. I am Jesus. I am the Almighty God. I have all that you need. You must come to Me and I will heal your wounds, I will love you and I will give you My divine love.

8. R. And how do we feel when we go to the tabernacle? How do we feel when we go to the tabernacle or when we spend time alone with Him? He gives us great gifts, gifts of peace and joy in our hearts. There is not another way. We must spend this time alone with Him or as He said in the message the bombs are going to fly around us. And if we do not have this intimate time with Him, Satan will tear us to shreds.

9. We give our hearts to Mary and she takes us into the deepest chambers of the Heart of her Son.

10. There is a Man hanging on the cross. He gave Himself for love of us. He did not holler and scream. In His last dying words He gave us His Mother. We must give ourselves to our Mother Mary and give ourselves to Him.
    Jesus: I am Jesus, My beloved ones. This is the message that I give to you on the 13^th of February to help with the completion of the Fatima message. I am asking you to carry these rosaries and messages to the far corners of the earth for I give to you My love letters to bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart. You are the apostles that will help bring about the reign of the Sacred Heart. You are the messengers. I have called you. I have chosen you. You must do the Father’s will. I am giving to you the directions in these messages that are needed to help bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart. The Shepherds of Christ Movement is major in bringing about the renewal of the Church and the world. You have been called to this movement. Satan will try to lead you astray by doing other good works. He will cause division in your hearts. You must know that I, Jesus Christ, am calling you this day. You are a major part of the completion of the Fatima message. You are part of the Father’s plan. You have been called to this chapel and great miracles will happen in your heart this day if you open your heart to Me. I love you. I am waiting for your most intimate love.
