Song: America
Messenger: And this is the place
that Our Lady chose to appear -
is America.Why did God pick America
and the state of Florida?And why did God pick us
for this mission today,
February 22, 2005?We have to say Happy Birthday to Melanie.
Mary speaks: My children,
I come to you today
to deliver this message to the world.Your Father in heaven
has sent me
to tell you,
that you must pray as never before
and He is displeased with the sin
in this world.I am still at my site in Florida
as you will soon see.The gift that God has given is the face
of Jesus
on the building there
and it must be preserved for the future generations,
for your children.If you can understand
how something so precious
must be preserved for the world to come,
can you not understand the importance
of your prayers today
for the priests and for the Church
that it will be preserved
for your children.And what if one seminarian,
that all of sudden, gives
up his vocation
and leaves the seminary,
think of how the life of a priest
can affect the soul,
and not only that soul,
but all the souls in that family that come after them.Why is it, that you will not listen to the message of my Son
when He calls you to pray these prayers
and to spread them to the far ends of the earth
that your children
will know a Church
full of priests
administering the Sacraments.Oh my people my Son has given to you
this message at the end
of the second millennium,
the message to pray these prayers
and your world is in such a state
but you will not listen
and you continue in your pain.Song: America
Mary speaks: Oh My children listen to me
before it is too late,
for many of my children
are dropping
into the fires of hell,
and I cry to you to hear the message
that my Son has given.Your Father has allowed me to appear here,
I appeared for over 7½ years.Do you not see the gift that is given,
that you have pictures of my appearance to circulate to the world
and yet you fail to see
that those pictures can help to change the lives of many
when they know that their mother has appeared here.You too, my precious ones,
who reach to help have become blind
to this mission.Open your eyes tonight,
my Florida people,
and look at the face of my Son
who appears before you
and hear the words that He has given to you,
to all of you Shepherds of Christ,
and called you to this mission
to help preserve the great gift
that you were given in the priest.I appeared in America
to you
and I call you
in this time
and this age
to help.I called
long before -
but never in this capacity,
to lead to my Son's Movement
Shepherds of Christ,
that the world will consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.For until a sufficient number have consecrated their hearts
to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
you will not have peace
in the world.The Priestly Newsletter is vital
for it will lead the priests
into this consecration,
as it has so far.And one priest,
who has such power given to him from God,
can majorly affect the world.What of your children and your grandchildren
and what do you care of the legacy that you will leave for them?So many things and wills and estates and all the things
and you can't spend the hours of the day praying for the priests
as my Son Jesus has called you, or helping to spread the prayer chapters
or the Newsletter.Or do you even see
that I appeared here for 7½ years and that the face of my Son is here today?
You are blind.Song: America
America, America, God shed his grace on thee, and crowned thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.
Mary speaks: Oh America,
listen to your Mother Mary,
for when I appeared here for 7½ years,
you did not listen to me
and what remains for you
is to tell the world by circulating the wallets,
by spreading the Priestly Newsletter and the prayer chapters
that my Son has asked,
that the people of this earth
will pray
for the priests
of the future.Think
of one seminarian
who is influenced
by the negativity that is out there
for priests
and leaves the priesthood.Oh
that you would listen to my Son
and pray for your priests.The gift that God has given to you,
is the gift
of the priest.But you do not hear
and you are blind.And how many words should we give to you
and how many years should we continue to appear,
for you will not listen,
after all the apparitions,
after all the writings,
after all the daily messages,
after it all,
do you care that this building
is secured
for the future generations
of this earth
the way that God wants it to be?Would you have it turn into a car wash
or an office building
so that the image be torn down
and do you think that God would stand for this?Was the hurricanes that ravaged Florida not enough after my head was removed
and the acid thrown on my face?What words do I speak to a world
that tests God?Song: A Priest is a Gift From God
Song: A Song From Jesus
Jesus speaks: I give to you My Movement
Shepherds of Christ
to reach the priests
with the Priestly Newsletter
and the prayer chapters throughout the world.Your world is in a state in which it needs tremendous healing,
in which it will seek the truth.Your priesthood is dwindling
and your Church is suffering,
and I give to you My prayers to pray
for the priests
and the Church and the world
but you will not listen.Song: A Song From Jesus - instrumental
Jesus speaks: Oh My people I have given to you the letters of My love in God's Blue Book
and they have changed your lives
and they have led you to the great intimacy
in your heart
that you have for Me,
and they have led you to the Eucharist and to the Mass
and yet the books have not been circulated
as they need to be
for the sake of souls.For whatever reason it is that you do not give the books,
ask yourself,
"Should I do it for the sake of souls?"And I sing to you -
Song: A Song From Jesus
Jesus speaks: And I plead you
to help
in this mission,
to do all that is necessary
to preserve the building for the future generations,
to care about the priests and the Church and the world,
to listen to the message that you have heard,
to send the Priestly Newsletter to the priests
and begin the prayer chapters all over the world in the different languages,
to circulate the Blue Books in English and Spanish,
and the other materials to the Spanish people,
to circulate the nursing home videos that people will see how Mary appeared here
for 7½ years.Do not become sluggish
for the work that you do
I will bless
and many will turn to Me.Song: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord - verse 4
Jesus speaks: And I call to you to listen to Me today,
to listen to the words of the music that I have given to you
and to lead the strayed ones home to My Heart.Song: I Love You Jesus
Jesus speaks: Listen to Me My children,
listen to Me,
this is My Movement
Shepherds of Christ
and I will bless you abundantly
for the work that you do to spread My Movement
and My works
to the world,
the Newsletter
and the prayer chapters,
the rosary program.Messenger: And Mary speaks and she says -
Mary speaks: Until a sufficient number of people
have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
my children you will not have peace in the world
and the Priestly Newsletter majorly
will do this
in reaching the priests.Jesus speaks: I am Jesus and I speak to you.
I send you this day,
February 22, this message to help Me
to send My Newsletter to the priests
and to begin the prayer chapters now
for your children and the future generations
praying for the priests and the Church and the world
and to go and be Apostles
of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus,
to pray for the seminarians, and the pope and the bishops,
and the sisters and the brothers.And I have formed you, My child, in your life for this mission today,
all the sufferings and all that you went through,
and I have drawn you close to My Heart -
but you are the seed
for others
and what if you do not plant the seed,
will the tree be there for them?Song: From the Day You Were Born
Jesus speaks: These are My prayers
to pray for the priests
and the Church
and the world,
I am Jesus,
the Son of God.Song: From the Day You Were Born
Jesus speaks: And what if you do not plant the seeds
for the future generations
because all you thought about was your food and yourselves.And I called and I put you on this earth and I ask you to plant the seeds
and to go into the field
and to fish for the fish
and you tried to make your own life more and more and more perfect,
make yourself more and more comfortable.Song: From the Day You Were Born
Jesus speaks: I ask you to circulate My Blue Books.
Sing: When you ask yourself why
Jesus speaks: I ask you to pray the prayers
for the priests, the Church and the world,
one sows and another reaps.Sing: Every day hear me say here am I
Jesus speaks: And Fr. Carter gave his all,
almost to his last day before he died,
with the bleeding in his body,
he still did all he could to preserve this Movement
for Me
and he called you to help.Song: From the Day You Were Born
Jesus speaks: And I watched you
from a child
and I brought you to this place today
that you would plant the seeds
so that the other generations will receive the benefits
and that My Church will be renewed
in a special way through My Movement
Shepherds of Christ
and yet the skeleton is so weak
and the flesh on the body is thin.Song: From the Day You Were Born
Messenger: And Father called those people in the room
before he left
and he said,
"Will you do it for me."Song: From the Day You Were Born
Messenger: And when he was tired and he could hardly walk down the driveway
and he said that the blessing book was too heavy,
he forced himself
to go to China.Song: From the Day You Were Born
Jesus speaks: Because he heard the message
that I gave to him
in his heart
and he called you
to plant the seeds
for the future generations
but if you say no as so many have -Song: Come Holy Ghost
Jesus speaks: My Movement is in place and I have called you
but if you say no -
it can be stuck
like a car in the mud
and she was stuck in the mud
and her tires spun
and it just wouldn't move
and it stayed stuck in the mud
until finally somebody came years later
and in their heart they felt the call of God
and gave the push.What would it take to push you
to let you hear the words?My Mother appeared on the building for 7½ years and if you don't tell the world,
and you are the ones I called,
who will do that?There was a man that walked down the street
and his knee gave out,
and he couldn't understand it,
and he went to the doctor
and the doctor sent him for tests
and he found out he had cancer,
5 months later,
he was gone.You can measure your fat cells
and every ounce
that you drink.I have all the power.
I want to give you the miracles,
that the world will believe,
but you are so weak
in your committedness
and not ready
for any large group of people,
you whine and moan,
and I watch you and cry.Could you handle any more than you have, really?
Do people walk away
because you look tired and worn
from giving into the evil one
that wants you to focus on so many negative things?I am Jesus and My face
is before you
but you do not see.Song: Come Holy Ghost
Messenger: Dear Holy Spirit come to us
and fill our hearts
with the fire of your love,
help us to see where we are blind.Mary speaks: And I sing Oh ooooooo
Song: Come With Me Into the Fields
Jesus speaks: There was a little boy
and his mother told him to go out into the backyard
and to pick up all the toys.And he went over
and he saw a mud hole
and he sat on the ground
and he watched the bugs go in and out and in and out.Now if I called you to this mission
and I have trained you and I have taught you
and I wanted you to come with the vigor
and to look at Me as I carried My cross to the end
and the vigor that I had
when I fell under the cross and I got up again and again.Do you see that?
Or are you like the little boy that is sent out into the backyard
to pick up the toys and goes over, sits on the ground
and watches the bugs
go in and out.And his mother comes out and she says
"Son, son, my bridge people are coming
and they're just going to see this messy yard and I cleaned the whole house
and look what you did and I asked you to please pick up the backyard
and all you do is sit there and you disobey me.And now, oh, there goes the door bell.
Ahuhl! Why did you make such a mess?"
And I send you out into the fields
and I give you the seeds to plant
and you sit down
in the cool of the day
and you brush your head,
and you look around
and you blow on little flowers
and you pull off little leaves
and you think about things like your food or whatever else
and you don't see with the wide vision.How do you think it is in Rome?
If they do not plan for the future of the Church,
if the sister that gives her life for a tapestry
so that it will be passed on
but you cannot see the importance of praying for the priesthood
and the Church and the world as I have instructed.Song: Come With Me Into the Fields
Jesus speaks: And you put your nets into the sea
and you come back with -
do you come back with one little fish?Song: Come With Me Into the Fields
Jesus speaks: And they are surrounding you in the sea,
and I tell you to put your net in there,
and what do you do -
you skim the water and pull it back and there's not a fish even in there!Song: Come With Me Into the Fields
God the Father speaks:
And the days linger on, they go on, one by one, by one, by one, by one -
I gave to you the gift
of the Virgin Mary on the building.I am God the Father,
and I ask you to tell the earth,
that Mary, the Mother of God, appeared in Clearwater, Florida for 7½ years
and now My Son
appears.And you look at your spots
and your shoes
and you sit
on the road
and only see the ground.Song: Come With Me Into the Fields
Messenger: Dear God hear our prayers
and help us.Song: Come Holy Spirit
Jesus speaks: And I speak to you and I call you and you do not hear
and you are not worrying about the seeds
and how they will grow and what will happen.Your apples have turned rotten,
your fields are brown and your vineyards
are torn.And I say to you,
My chosen soulSong: From the Day You Were Born
Jesus speaks: And the Lady (Mary) called
and she called and she called
and you heard
but you do not understand the mission of Shepherds of Christ
which is to take you to the depth of My Heart.At the end of the century that this is the mission,
this is My Movement,
this is what I have given to you,
to pray for the holiness of the priests,
that more and more priests
will be priests that will give themselves.Song: Our Lady of Medjugorje
Jesus speaks: And your Mother appeared at Fatima
and this is majorly
the completion
of the Fatima mission
from Jesus your Savior.Song: Our Lady of Medjugorje
Jesus speaks: And the Lady appeared all through the century
to sooo many visionaries
and I come to take you
to the depth of My Heart.Song: A Song From Jesus
Messenger: And when will it come
for they were in the desert for 40 years
and the willfulness of men
is seen all through the Bible.Song: Night Is Over
Jesus speaks: And the children are brought forth from the heart of Mary
as children of light where they will see,
where they will be drawn out of blindness,
but they are stubborn and willful
and they want their way.Song: Night Is Over
Jesus speaks: And I speak to you of the seeds that you must plant
and yet you worry for every blade of grass
and for every thought that you have,
you focus on the things
to make your lives more perfect here below.And I sing My song to you
and My Mother hums.Sing: Oh oooooooo
Sing: The time is here for the harvesting for gathering home into barns. The harvest is plenty; laborers are few. Come With Me Into the Fields.
Jesus speaks: Put your nets in!
Sing: Your arms may grow weary; your shoes will wear thin. Come With Me Into the Fields.
Jesus speaks: You put your nets in and you just let them skim the top
and you pull out one little fish -
sometimes.Sing: The seeds were sown, by other hands than yours;
Jesus speaks: Look at Fr. Carter,
he was your loving example.Sing: nurtured and cared for they grew.
Jesus speaks: He didn't die.
Your more dead than him!Sing: But those who have sown will not harvest them; the reaping will not be their care. The harvest is plenty, laborers are few.
Jesus speaks: Wake up!!
Sing: Come With Me Into the Fields.
Jesus speaks: Put your nets in!
Sing: Your arms may grow weary; your shoes will wear thin. Come With Me Into the Fields. Come With Me Into the Fields.

to maintain it

Messenger: And what about the seeds and the future generations?
What about your children in the Church
and the priests that are available for them?You care so much for your children -
and yet you watch the priesthood
and there are fewer and fewer.
And you can't believe that God would give to you a Movement
at the end of the century when the priesthood is declining as it is
with all the problems,
that He would give you
a Movement to pray
for the priests, the Church and the world and to offer
tremendous grace
for those who pray
and especially before the Blessed Sacrament.Song: City of God

Messenger: Don't we deserve to give God
so much love after all He has given to us?Let us answer the call of Jesus

the fishers of men.Did He not teach us anything with the Apostles, they were all fishermen!
What are we doing,
we're putting in our nets,
skimming the water and coming out with no fish!Song: Hosea

Jesus speaks:
When I
carried My cross,
I suffered for you.
I went to the cross —
I died for you.
You have a little pain and
you look for relief —
You will suffer in
this life
Study My Passion
Study the Resurrection
When problems come to
the surface —
progress can be
made.
When people put problems
under the rug —
bigger problems can
show up.
Many people will do everything
not to change or to
do their own will —
when their old habits are
keeping everyone stuck —
When you are working
for Me — you see
beyond yourselves —
You see the mission
Mary called you
to and I called
you to — you work to
help save souls — you
really love Me more than
yourself.

Messenger:
I speak of a little town where Mary appeared
with a really, really dirty river
and some places are still messed
up from the flood.
7 years later
there are still marks of the flood.
People that once lived in houses,
live in older trailers now.
When a flood comes,
it hurts good things
and good things get ruined
and can look like junk.
Some yards can look like junk
where once little flowers were cared for
now much debris.
Did you ever see casket liners?
The casket goes into a concrete vault.
We saw them lined up
by the ugly green river water.
The trees on their sides,
root stumps
like the hurricane graveyard of Florida.

Floods destroy foliage,
weaken the structure of houses,
tear the land apart.
Genesis 7: 11-24
In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, and on the seventeenth day of the month, that very day all the springs of the great deep burst through, and the sluices of heaven opened. And heavy rain fell on earth for forty days and forty nights. That very day Noah and his sons Shem, Ham and Japheth boarded the ark, with Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons, and with them every species of wild animal, every species of cattle, every species of creeping things that creep along the ground, every species of bird, everything that flies, everything with wings. One pair of all that was alive and had the breath of life boarded the ark with Noah, and those that went aboard were a male and female of all that was alive, as God had commanded him. Then Yahweh shut him in.
The flood lasted forty days on earth. The waters swelled, lifting the ark until it floated off the ground. The waters rose, swelling higher above the ground, and the ark drifted away over the waters. The waters rose higher and higher above the ground until all the highest mountains under the whole of heaven were submerged. The waters reached their peak fifteen cubits above the submerged mountains. And all living things that stirred on earth perished; birds, cattle, wild animals, all the creatures swarming over the earth, and all human beings. Everything with the least breath of life in its nostrils, everything on dry land, died. Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out, people, animals, creeping things and birds; they were wiped off the earth and only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark. The waters maintained their level on earth for a hundred and fifty days.

Here is a message I got
on the day Falmouth flooded.
I did not even know it.
March 3, 1997 Message
Day Falmouth Flooded Early Morning
Jesus speaks: Oh, the waters will run and the earth will shake and you will suffer and suffer and work your own plan and say it happened before, it is not a sign from God - it is a phenomenon, a happening, no reason to take notice.
And I will shake you on your tree and you will fall to the ground as rotten fruit and all that will remain will be the fruit of heaven.

God the Father's second
message January 18, 1997.
January 18, 1997
God the Father: My Dear Children,
I am the Father. My plan is unfolding through you, My beloved priest, Fr. Carter, and Rita and the core group in the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
I tell you all to read the accounts concerning Noah. Nowhere in history has God been offended as He is this day by this sinful world. You will suffer a fate for the offenses against God.
Mary appeared at Fatima to warn you, the sinful children, how they were offending God, but you did not listen. The war did not change the hearts of many evil men.
I warn you through My beloved daughter, Mary. You did not heed her warnings. Disobedience against the Mother I gave you displeases Me greatly. Mary is the Mother of all children. Mary is a gift from Me, but you are willful and abuse the gift I send you.
You do not make reparation to her Immaculate Heart; you continue to offend her. I will not tolerate the deeds of evil men any longer.
My plan will unfold. Any disobedience to these messages given by Me, My Son, or your Mother Mary will cause Me great displeasure.
I am the Father, the Almighty God, the Alpha, the Omega; you are a sinful people, a chosen race sinning against a loving God.
I am angered at your ways for they are not My ways, you have run amuck, you have offended your God, you have disobeyed your Mother and My beloved Son who died to save you.
I will act on all who continue in such sin. The sheep will be separated from the goats; the goats will receive punishment for their deed. Heaven and earth will kiss, there will be love in all hearts, justice will prevail and My children will be children of light, children that obey as I intended from the beginning.
Oh indeed My sweet messenger, I look to the earth and see the darkness, I see the disobedience of men against their Mother. I know the deeds committed and the evil in the hearts of so many. Justice will prevail and I will wipe out the earth. Only the children of light will remain, those who have given their hearts to their Mother Mary.
Do you think I send your Mother Mary as a messenger to be disobeyed by willful children? What do you think about at night, the cat, the dog, the fish? You don't know love. You don't love God or one another. This is My command to you, to love. You are a sinful, willful race, and the devil will vanish from the hearts of the children of light for they will be under the protection of her Immaculate Heart, the other children will be wiped off the face of the earth.
Disobey My messenger, ignore your Mother, ignore the Son in these messages. Ignore My Son who died for you.
Oh you sinful people filled with pride and disobedience, I give you the directions here to turn your hearts to love.
My Son has revealed Himself as never before in history into His tremendous love for men and you treat Our gift with such indifference.
I am angered at the lack of support to spread the messages of My Son's love for all.
You worry for funds, worry more, I am God the Father, the Almighty God. You disobeyed Mary, you disobeyed Jesus, now you will disobey Me?
You must obey My directions, the directions given through My Son, Jesus for the unfolding of the Father's plan.
No longer will I wait while willful men check and deliberate and disobey.
My plan will unfold through the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
I am talking through these messages given by My Son and Mary to tell you how to accomplish this task of carrying out My plan.
You must obey. The directions are given in these messages to spread the fire of God's love across this earth, to renew the Church and the world.
Because of willful men these messages have been held in check.
I am God, the maker of all things. You have made money your god. I want obedience, the funds will come when you obey all of the directions I have given to you.
Anyone who interferes with these messages will be removed.
These are the messages I give to the world. Fr. Carter's newsletter will teach the priests, all they need to know to be holy, loving priests.
Many priests are not loving, they are cold in their hearts. I will instruct the clergy through the newsletter.
My Son is the Chief Priest and Teacher. He has taught the world the secrets of His Heart through the writings of Fr. Carter and Rita, to go to men to check the value of these writings displeases Me.
You must have faith, you must study the entire revelations given here. You are not valuing My great gift to you.
I am the power, I am God, to the ends of the earth, I will be with you. My plan will unfold. You must think big, not on a human level. You must come to Me.
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
I am telling you to circulate the tape of January 13 (1997) as soon as possible. This tape must be released to the world. It is the message to go with the apparition on the building in Florida.
You must make every connection with Mary's message given December 12 (1996) and the messages given by Mary with the apparition of her on the building in Florida.
Time is very short and My patience is very thin. I will strike the earth and the evil men will scatter and there will be a reign of peace where men will love God as I intended. The evil men will be chastised for I sent your Mother to warn you and you disobeyed. I gave My Son as a sacrifice and you treated Him with indifference. I am angry at the creatures on this earth. I will lessen the chastisement if you make reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Oh willful children, you disobey your Mother, you are unloving and willful and your ways are evil. You are a sinful race.
I am sending water, rain to quench your thirst, My beloved children of light; I am sending fire to burn the fields for the sinful children, they will suffer drought and will fall to the ground dead, they will know fire, they will know the wrath of God. For I speak and I am ignored.
I am using the Shepherds of Christ Movement to majorly carry out the plan begun at Fatima. Every day lost is a lost day. I give to you Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary as your directions to help the plan unfold. Circulate these rosaries to all chapters and stress their importance.
The tape of January 13 (1997) is important to the world. The tape must be circulated with the apparition in Florida and the messages typed and put on the Internet with the rest of the messages I have given. The connection must be made between the apparition and the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
Satan will attack you strongly, he will create division and give messages through other visionaries to get you off coarse. You must obey My directions given in these messages to help bring about the completion of the Fatima message.
I will weed out anyone interfering with My plan.
I will tell you when you have deviated from My plan, do not taunt My messenger, this displeases Me. Read the messages for direction and obey them.
The directions given are strong to correct a sick world. You must quit focusing on the messenger and obey Me.
I am the Father, these are My messages to bring about the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart.
You think of money and miss the gift given. You are men bolted to the earth. You must obey Me. I have all the power.

Messenger:
when the fruit was destroyed
Jesus delivered the message
so strongly —
Seedless, Barren, no fruit on the vine.
October 8, 1997
Jesus speaks: Seedless, barren, not bringing forth fruit on the vine. I come to be heard and who pays Me heed. To a people of stiffs I address this issue, what think you when the water is gone from the trough?
Do you think you will then worship the molten calf or will you be ready for surrender then?
Oh, you thankless race, anger and wrath is the mind of your God. You do not worry, My messenger, for I am God and I speak to you. You think you are alone and I have chosen you. Your money is your god, oh people of Zion - your money in the pockets is the sound that brings you joy.
What brings Me joy is the songs of the faithful, praising and worshipping God, but I go to the tent and there is the molten calf and an abased nation of stiffs, heartless and filled with fear. I beg of you to stop now before it is too late, but you do not know of the chastisement I have in store for you - it is under the plan of the Father.
The children who walk in darkness carried a molten calf in their arms and the God of justice struck the earth.
He struck you, senseless people, because you would not listen.
I did not put you on the earth and then leave you to yourselves. I dwelt amongst you to guide you in all your ways and the people today spit on Me as they did 2,000 years before. For all these years I waited for the likes of you, My people, and why should you have more time for false joy? Joy is not in the molten calf. It is in the words of the Savior.
My Words are your truth, yet you try to wash them away as hearsay and of no importance.
My Word is the Word of God mighty and true. I have been ignored and defiled in My Word. I smite you, My senseless race. I allow the dragon to devour your young for you are the senseless race. I allow the dragon to devour your young for you are the senseless children of Eve.
Debased, proud and dead, really dead in your hearts.
I give you sunshine and rain and you want flowers and glory.
The glory is Mine or I will have to continue to listen to the wailing widow, a barren branch, a company of stiffs.
Ignore Me no longer senseless ones. My hand is upon you. It will come down and wipe out the senseless virgins, the ones singing to the molten calf.
Rachel could hear the slaughter of her children and she wept such bitter tears. The Lady Clothed as the Sun bore the barren race; they did not come to her grace-filled womb.
The thankless race marched into a pit of doom and destruction.
As I was pressed in the garden watching the days at hand, as I was squeezed, what came forth from My pores was the saving Blood for the children of Zion and when they ate from the land they feasted on rich food and strong drinks, the candy of the earth and it made them sick - sick to the death of their souls and the Lady Clothed as the Sun heard the cries of her sick children. I give you the medicine for the sick children in these writings and they chase you and make you fall to the ground. I watched you skin your knees when you carried the scrolls that contained My letters of love, My words from the depths of My Heart. You fell as I once did on the way to Calvary. I fell, I skinned My knees, My Body burned and I got up and went to the end.
The end was the beginning for the children of Zion for at that hill My cross was planted erect, a tree of life, and the juice that was squeezed 'till there was no more from the one "Son of Man, the Son of God", was the juice of the Man. It was His saving Blood.
They pressed Me in the Garden of Olives and I bled for the thankless race. They hung Me on a tree on the hill of Calvary. When I gave them the New Eve they chose the molten calf. They spit on My Mother, they ignored the visitations. She came and gave to the children to remind them of their covenant with God.
Oh senseless ones, so many will now fall, for I hung there and to the right was one and to the left another. The one was saved; the other was cursed. You picked from the tree when you should have obeyed your Father. He gave you His will. He said, "You may eat of all the trees in the garden but not this one." and you continually ate of the forbidden fruit. I warned you, My children, and you chased My messengers and made them run. I gave to you My Book of Life, My Bible, and you ate the sick fruit and it made you so sick you wanted to die but you kept eating when I told you the end was near and now that the end has come, what do you say for yourself? You ignored the Lady Clothed as the Sun. She appeared in all glory and splendor and so many months later so few go to her site to even see her. So is it My fault or yours our money does not come to publish your books and tell the world about the Woman in Florida? It is not My fault, I am God. I am the faultless One.
You want joy. I have no joy for the likes of you, My children of Zion, you have usurped My thrones and treated My body as rubbish. I am God. I come in the Eucharist and I am ignored. I speak no longer. The days that follow will be the days to cleanse this earth.
I am angered beyond all anger for the way My Mother has been treated in Florida by the thankless race. They have worshipped the molten calf and ignored the Lady of Light, the Lady Clothed as the Sun, the Lady of Fatima in the Americas, Our Lady of Guadalupe, bringing forth her children. The good will suffer with the bad; the wheat will be separated from the darnel (weeds). You walked like little stiff men with your haughty hearts. Your heads were your gods. I gave you great minds to comprehend My mysteries and you used your minds to worship false gods and make movies that defile My priesthood. What of your minds? I do not even have energy to tell you how unworthy you used the mind, the intellect I gave you. You used this great faculty to commit the worst sins, and My head was crowned with the sharpest thorns for your sick earth. Oh, you squeezed the Blood from the Son of Man. You pressed that Man in the garden, when He knew this race of this day.
I now see the Woman on the building, My Mother, so loving to the children I gave her and the mean ones threw acid on her face. Oh, you race of vile hearts and thankless ways. I will clothe the holy ones in the white robes of glory. The thankless ones I will turn over to the red men that will hand them over to the keeper of the pit and their bodies will be burned in the burning sulfur of the pool of death. Come, My children of light, your Mother called you through the consecration. She showed you the way home to My Heart. She carried a lighted lamp and lighted your way in the darkness. You were not foolish like the virgins that carried a lamp without a light. Your light for the lamp was My life alive in your hearts. When the darkest night comes you will know the flames of My love alive in your lighted hearts, burning with the fire from the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I give you the fuel, My faithful virgins. I gave you the fuel to light your lamps that in the dark night that lies ahead, you will still shine as a beacon light, a light of intense brightness no matter how dark the night. You will not die for your refuge is the fire of the Sacred Heart and you gave your heart to the New Eve, the pure and Immaculate One and she took you to the Heart of your Savior. She took you home and you dwelt within the chamber of My Heart and you were protected from the evil one in these last days. You tried to spread this consecration. It is the key that leads to the place of refuge. So many camps the devil told men to prepare and they labored in vain, for the Word was had in dwelling in Our Hearts. You would find refuge and they missed the message and busied themselves with the work of the evil one.
I say to you what refuge survived when Noah built his ark? Only those on the ark survived the great flood. You prepare your earth. When My Word was to prepare your hearts. Then again, they worshipped the church building, the grounds and the wood and their hearts were left as cold vaults. I beg you, My beauteous ones, to beg the men to prepare their hearts before it is too late. Only the Ark of the Covenant will be the means of survival in this dark age. When the moon turns to blood they will run away frightened and their buildings will be like cold vaults - only the hearts consecrated to Our Hearts will survive.
You were willful and too busy to know the story. The story is this: There is but one home; it is the Heart of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. My Mother is the gatekeeper. It is through her Immaculate Heart you enter. She is the singular vessel, a New Eve, a Woman Clothed as the Sun, a doorway to the everlasting abyss of Light, the Light of the World, the Sacred Eucharistic Heart of the Son of Man.
There was not room for Me in the Inn and there is not room for Me in the hearts of many and what can I say - they will die. I gave them the book of life. I gave them the Man who hung on a tree to save them. I gave them Myself, truly present in the Eucharist, the Eucharist and My Word I gave them. I gave to them My Mother - the way to enter into My Heart and they were haughty and proud. I was born in a stable in Bethlehem for you, My men. I am the Light of the World. The foolish virgins had no oil for their lamps and they went out. And you could hear the wailing cries of her children being slaughtered in the dark night. Oh, the Lady Clothed as the Sun warned them to come to her heart and the Heart of her Son (the Light of the World) and they went to the molten calf and they died a brutal death.

Messenger:
Less than a month afterwards,
the Father gave this first message —
January 11, 1997
God the Father: My plan will unfold despite the willfulness of any of My children. I am the Father. I have guided you in all of your activities.
I am telling you that the members of the Shepherds of Christ must be made aware of the importance of living the Blue Book messages.
Planning is up to Me. This is My plan and it will unfold. Men plan for the future. I AM.
I am directing the Shepherds of Christ Movement through these messages.
I am angered at the lack of response on the part of some to back these messages. You must support these messages so they are lived by man.
These messages are given from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to bring about the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the triumph of My beloved Mary's Immaculate Heart.
You are given all you need. You must adhere to My plan.
I am the Father. I AM WHO AM. I was in the beginning, I am now and I will be forever.
I am telling you to obey the directions given by Jesus in these messages.
My plan will unfold. The completion of the Fatima message will greatly come through the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
You must circulate the tape, Mary's Message. You must circulate the messages given to you in God's Blue Books and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
The renewal in the Church will greatly come through the newsletter and the books published with the imprimatur. You must publish all books on the Mass with the imprimatur. Prayer chapters must be started in the churches.
The instructions for the priests will come from doing as I have requested. I beg you to circulate the Priestly Newsletter Book to the priests as soon as possible. The priests must be made aware of the Mass Books.
The Children's Rosary Book must be published immediately. Your work, Fr. Carter and Rita, is to publish this material.
Heaven has contacted the earth primarily in these messages to bring about the reign of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart.
The plan will unfold. It is My plan. You must be obedient to the directions I give to you here. The Movement is a great star of light to this world. From the Movement the earth will be covered with stars of light and the earth will be lighted through your efforts, Fr. Carter.
I will give you all you need. The plan will unfold. It is My plan to turn sinful men into obedient, loving children.
I have delivered this message that you will know My plan is unfolding. Many will be lost because of their willfulness. I demand obedience to My requests. The plan will unfold. It pleases Me greatly that you obey My messenger. She is delivering these messages to you from the Son, My beloved Son, God-made-Man.
The messages of the love of God will be written on the hearts of men through the writings of Fr. Carter and Rita to bring about the reign of His Most Sacred Heart.
I am displeased with those who have blocked these messages. Anyone continuing to block My messages given through the Hearts of Jesus and Mary will receive a shock that will envelope them.
The time is very urgent. The time has run out for sinful man. I am angered at the way the world has treated their Mother. Willful children must be punished. I demand obedience. Mary gave to her children her peace plan and she was ignored by the Church and her children. Mary is Mother of the Church and Mother of her children. Willful children must be admonished. Children must obey their Mother.
Mary appeared on the building in Florida as Mother of all. You have made money your god. You have ignored God and made this world your end.
I am God. I AM WHO AM, without a beginning, without an end. I am today, tomorrow and always. You do not comprehend My ways with your feeble minds. You must obey the messages given by My Son and His Mother. These messages I give to you as a gift and a great revelation from heaven. You must be thankful and cherish this gift given. I will not remove My gift to you for I know you will obey Me. I will admonish you when you do not respond as you should.
I have called you and anointed you, My holy priest (Fr. Carter), to lead this world to the light. The Light of the world is My Son, Jesus. His Heart will reign and the heart of your Mother will triumph. I beg you to surrender and obey and watch My plan unfold. There will be a great era of peace very soon, My little children. All you do today will help to save many souls. Many souls will know the love of God through the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Many souls will love God with burning love.
I give you this gift. Your writings, Fr. Carter, and the writings of My messenger, Rita, will help greatly to bring about the reign of the Sacred Heart.
I am the Father. I am the Almighty God. You must believe I have chosen you. I have called each member here this day to hear this message. I have called you to be the apostles of the new era of peace. I have called you by name. You will lead men to the Heart of My Son. You must listen and focus all of your attention to this mission I have given to you.
I am the Father. From the day you were conceived, I formed you in your mother's womb, knowing the great mission I would call you to today. My children, My children, do not be distracted by the evil one to lead you astray. I am counting on you, My beloved shepherds. You must not be led astray by doing other good works. I have called you, this is My plan, it is unfolding. You are a major part of the success of this plan for the renewal of the Church and the world.
Your work in the Shepherds of Christ Movement greatly pleases Me.
I AM, WHO AM. I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am the Almighty God. You must be obedient children. It is through your obedience that the consecration will spread to many souls on the earth.
It is through your obedience to help spread the priestly newsletter and start prayer chapters in churches that many priests will love God with the greatest love in the Mass. I am asking you to spread the Mass Book to priests and sisters. Please pray for the priestly newsletter, the quick spread of the material given in the newsletter and for the priests reading the newsletter.
Heaven has contacted the earth. The light will shine in the dark corners of the world. Men will respond to the Shepherds of Christ Movement. You must not be afraid. You must do as I have asked you.
I have called you by name, My chosen ones, from the beginning I formed you and I gave to you the talents needed to accomplish this mission on the earth.
Your talents are gifts from Me to be used for this purpose. You are the Shepherds of Christ. You are the apostles of the new era.
There will be a new earth, there will be love on this earth as I intend it to be. My children will love one another, you will walk hand in hand, loving God and one another in harmony and peace.
R. ...Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven...
Jn 1:1-18 (From The New Jerusalem Bible):
In the beginning was the Word:
the Word was with God
and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through Him all things came into being,
not one thing came into being except through Him.
What has come into being in Him was life,
life that was the light of men;
and light shines in darkness,
and darkness could not overpower it.A man came, sent by God.
His name was John.
He came as a witness,
to bear witness to the light,
so that everyone might believe through him.
He was not the light,
he was to bear witness to the light.
The Word was the real light
that gives light to everyone;
he was coming into the world.
He was in the world
that had come into being through him,
and the world did not recognize him.He came to his own
and his own people did not accept Him.
But to those who did accept Him
he gave power to become children of God,
to those who believe in his name
who were born not from human stalk
or human desire
or human will
but from God himself.
The Word became flesh,
He lived among us,
and we saw His glory,
the glory that he has from the Father as only Son of the Father,
full of grace and truth.John witness to him. He proclaims:
'This is the one of whom I said:
He who comes after me
has passed ahead of me
because he existed before me.'Indeed, from his fullness we have, all of us, received--
one gift replacing another,
for the Law was given through Moses,
grace and truth have come through Jesus Christ.
No one has ever seen God;
it is the only Son, who is close to the Father's heart,
who has made him known.R. We do not even see Our Father as so important to us.
A little child is always aware of their father. A little child knows how dependent he is on his father, always wanting to please his father.
A little child is always aware of his mother and obeying her. A little child loves his mother. Look at how unloving we are to Mary.
We are children of God, with God the Father as Our Father and Mary as our heavenly Mother.

A City on a Hill Shines to the World
February 23, 1994 5:30 a.m.
Jesus: I am the light of the world. A city on a hill will shine to the world. You at the Center will be this city when you are filled to the brim with the love of Jesus. What power, what might, to have each person a personal spouse of Jesus Christ! This is the light to the darkened world. The love of Jesus radiates from the very being of those who love Him. What light when all together are lifted by His love abounding deep within their breasts!
I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. My life is the life inside that cannot be contained. It is bursting and budding forth. My life is the real life. To possess the life of Christ within your breast! Such power! I am the city set on a hill that will stand united and shine to this world. You at this Center will be this city. You will be the true Center that places the mark on this world.
The love of Christ, abounding deep within the breasts of all, will be the power and the might. Pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus. I will operate in the hearts of all there and minister to My sick world. I am the Heart of Jesus. I am on fire with love of each and every soul. When My love is found in all the hearts there, the light of God will shine to this world!
You are the city, set on a hill, that shines to the darkened world. I will light the world with the love of Jesus that shines in the hearts of those who are fed there. My light is so bright. My power is endless. You are the light to the dark world. You contain the mighty medicine to bring My sick ones to Me. You will bring so many back to Me and My intense love, burning so brightly for all!
I am the power. I am the might. He who abides in Me will have the light of life. I give Myself to you that you will live. You will radiate My presence from your very being. My light is the brightest light. I will live in the hearts of all who come to you for their feeding. Enkindle in them the love for My most Sacred Heart. It is on fire for love of you. It cannot be contained. It will live in all hearts who come to you to be fed.
You are the key to enkindle this burning love of Jesus in the hearts of so many. Many will know Jesus through your love of Me. Read these letters every day for I am truly speaking to you here. I love each child so dearly and want to have an intimate union with that child. Teach all about the burning love of Jesus. Read My messages with your heart on fire so you can tell all of My ardent love for them.
I long to be close to them. I am a person. I am God, on fire for love of My people. Bring all to the ardent love of Jesus. Mary is by My side constantly. Where I am, she is there. She wants all to be led to My ardent, longing love. Teach all about My love. Fill them so they are overflowing in their hearts. This is the mighty medicine. It is My letter of intense, ardent love for My people.
I am truly here, little ones. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I will live strongly in the hearts of all who come to you. You will be the key. Focus on your intense love of Me. Read My letters as a cookbook for intimacy with Me. My love waits for each person and I tell you here how to be close to Me. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus on fire for love of you. I am longing for you to come and be with Me in silence. I will give you all you need.
I am the Alpha. I am the Omega. I am your all. I am God, one, true and magnificent, and I come to you with ardent love in Holy Communion and in the tabernacle. I am present, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. I am waiting. Our love affair waits and it depends on you. I am there and I am waiting. You keep us apart.
Tell them how I long for them and have all they need. The love of Christ will light their city. You will stand as the lighted city in darkness. My love will be that by which you light this dark world. Oh, such power, such might! The love of God will reign in the hearts of all you touch. You are My vessel to draw this world to the love of Jesus.
Read and study My letters and be taught about My ardent love. I am Jesus Christ and I am teaching you about My love on fire for all. Come and be powered by the hand of God. My love will rock the world off its rocker when it reigns in the hearts of those who come to you. I love you so! You are My beloved. I will use you to light My dark world. You will shine as candles in the darkest night and you will be the instruments I use to light their wicks. I am God and I love them so dearly!
This is My love for all. Power and might will shine forth on the land. I am the brightest light. Look into the light for the light. Look into the arms of Jesus. I will light this world through you. Alleluia. And the angels sang and the choirs of heaven were heard for the earth proclaimed the Love of Jesus. Alleluia
