James 4: 1-10

Where do these wars and battles between yourselves first start? Is it not precisely in the desires fighting inside your own selves? You want something and you lack it; so you kill. You have an ambition that you cannot satisfy; so you fight to get your way by force. It is because you do not pray that you do not receive; when you do pray and do not receive, it is because you prayed wrongly, wanting to indulge your passions. 

    Adulterers! Do you not realise that love for the world is hatred for God? Anyone who chooses the world for a friend is constituted an enemy of God. Can you not see the point of the saying in scripture, ‘The longing of the spirit he sent to dwell in us is a jealous longing.’? But he has given us an even greater grace, as scripture says:  God opposes the proud but he accords his favour to the humble. Give in to God, then; resist the devil, and he will run away from you. The nearer you go to God, the nearer God will come to you. Clean your hands, you sinners, and clear your minds, you waverers. Appreciate your wretchedness, and weep for it in misery. Your laughter must be turned to grief, your happiness to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will lift you up.

Psalm 55: 7-11, 23

How far I would escape,
    and make a nest in the desert!   Pause

I would soon find a refuge
    from the storm of abuse,
from the destructive tempest, Lord,
    from the flood of their tongues.

For I see violence
    and strife in the city,
day and night they make their rounds
    along the city walls,

Inside live malice and mischief,
    inside lives destruction,
tyranny and treachery never absent
    from its central square.

You, God, will thrust them down
    to the abyss of destruction,
men bloodthirsty and deceptive,
    before half their days are spent.

For my part, I put my trust in you.

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimate

                R. Envy is sadness at another's
                gifts or achievements or joy when
                they have misfortune.

                    Saul was envious of David.

                    Saul did not want to do what God
                wanted him to do – He disobeyed God
                and then he wanted to kill David for
                doing what God wanted –

                    In other words Saul was working
                against God's Plan –

                    The Pharisees were envious of
                Christ. Envy is a capital sin –
                We have tendencies toward envy
                because of our fallen human
                nature – Envy destroys a person's
                happiness, for their actions are based on
                evil motives – their hearts are not
                as God is. God is love.

Psalm 31: 2-3

turn your ear to me, make haste. 

Be for me a rock–fastness, 
a fortified citadel to save me.
You are my rock, my rampart;
true to your name, lead me and guide me!

                R. Oh God have mercy on us for we have
                sinned – Forgive us, we come with a
                contrite heart begging for Your mercy and
                forgiveness. We pray for grace to do Your
                will –

                    God is bringing good out of evil –
                We see Joseph and all he did despite
                his brothers hatred of him for being
                chosen – Jesus was sent. Jesus, the Son of
                God – Jesus was rejected by men –

                God grant us mercy and forgiveness –
                Forgive our sins – Help us to keep our covenant
                    with you. Teach us to love and keep
                    your commandments –

                R. God forgive us as we forgive others.

Psalm 79: 8-9, 11, 13

                R. God rewards those who obey Him and
                    live as He wants –

                R. How we measure out will be measured out to us.

Sorrowful Mysteries

                February 25, 2013 continues

                R. We must admit our faults or we can't
                grow in virtue. God knows our faults –
                Humility is admitting our good and admitting
                the evil in us. The virtue of humility is
                being in the truth.

                    We must know our sinfulness of the past –
                not lie or hide it – be puffed up and tell
                ourselves we are never wrong. We must want
                to eliminate habitual sins of the past. Tell
                God we are sorry.

1 John 3: 1-2

You must see what great love
    the Father has lavished on us
by letting us be called God’s children—
which is what we are!
The reason why the world
    does not acknowledge us
is that it did not acknowledge him.
My dear friends,
    we are already God’s children,
but what we shall be in the future
    has not yet been revealed.
We are well aware that when he appears
we shall be like him,
because we shall see him as he really is.

Matthew 11: 25-30

At that time Jesus exclaimed, ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children. Yes, Father, for that is what it pleased you to do. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, just as no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

                Sing: I Have Loved You

                R. Dear God,
                    Thank You for baptism –
                    Thank You to celebrate Betty's life –
                    Betty lives in our hearts –
                    Betty lived to go home to heaven some day –

                Let us pray for our lives –

                That we will use this Lent to purify
                    our hearts more and more –

                God tests us –

                God wants to take us to Himself,
                    forever in our true home in
                    heaven, but heaven is a reward
                    to those who love and serve the Lord.

                Oh God, we love You, we want to go to
                    heaven some day. We come as
                    little babies and we have so
                    many years to learn to be more
                    like you –

                Help us to learn to love, more and more,
                    to grow in faith, hope and charity
                    and the other virtues, to live our
                    lives in humility and truth;
                    to discipline our unruly will –
                    to grow in greater holiness, Oh God,
                    My God, we love You so much,
                    outpour Your grace to us to grow
                    in virtue.

                Song: Give Me Your Heart Oh Jesus

                R. Let us keep our focus on Jesus!

                Jesus taught us, Jesus taught His disciples,
                    It is a process – it is in what we
                    do every single day - we are to
                    grow in relationships –
                    we are to see Christ in one another
                    and love one another –

                In the Scriptures we hear Jesus say
                    "In my house there are many
                        mansions"

                Jesus said:

Matthew 11:25

At that time Jesus exclaimed, 'I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children.

                R. Betty was a caretaker
                    a mother – a giver –
                    she cared for her mom and dad –
                    she lived her life in being a
                    caregiver to everybody else –

                She still lives in our hearts – not
                    a heroic life, but a simple
                    life to lead others to God –
                    her life lived to serve –
                    like Jesus –

                We are to bring that love to others –
                    every day – so they are not
                    burdensome, but living
                    to bear witness to living
                    our vocation as God calls us –
                    living our vocation loving
                    each other –

                Being a witness to Christ's love –
                    giving love to our brothers –
                    living our vocation as the
                    Father desires, building
                    the Kingdom –

                Betty was a wife, mother, grandmother
                    and great grandmother –

                We pray to be joined forever in
                    heaven because we lived
                    and loved and served to witness
                    to God –

                We pray for prayer givers and doctors
                    and nurses – all who live
                    special lives giving health –
                    care to others –

                God has this set that we are dependent
                    on each other –
                    serving, handmaids, giving –

                Jesus taught us to give –

                Jesus took flesh to be our Savior –
                Jesus died for our sins –
                Jesus suffered –
                Jesus taught us –
                Jesus taught the Apostles about
                    love –

                What is the lesson?
                God is love –
                God commands us to love God and
                    to love others as ourselves –

  1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.
  2. You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.
  3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
  4. Honor your father and your mother.
  5. You shall not kill.
  6. You shall not commit adultery.
  7. You shall not steal.
  8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
  9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
  10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

                R. Jesus gives us Himself today –

                God gives us a sharing in His life
                    in baptism –

                God feeds that life with
                    the Bread of Life –

                Jesus gives us Himself in the Eucharist

                God gives us His Word –

                We were born to live and to serve –

                To love God with our whole heart,
                    our whole soul, our whole
                    being and to love our neighbor
                    as ourselves.

                R. Jesus loves us so much –
                Jesus gives us the priest!

                Song: A Priest is a Gift from God

                Sing: I am the Bread of Life –

                We pray for our donors, for our
                    members, our families, everybody
                    that is sick, Fr. Joe, Fr. Jerry,
                    Monsignor, Fr. Ken, Fr. Don –
                    Fr. Cyprian, Fr. Mike, Fr. Davy –
                    Fr. Laimeier, Fr. Frank – all who help us –
                    Fr. Bob – all over us – all
                    priests and hierarchy, the Church
                    and the world –

                Sing: Let There Be Peace on Earth
 

                R. Oh Father, thank You for the gift
                    of the Church, the Mass, the
                    priests and hierarchy –

                Oh God we love You so much –

I Want My Priests to Come Back

January 17, 1994 3:40 a.m.

Jesus:  You know I am He Who lifts you up. In one second I can turn your feelings around and lift you up. Constantly pray to Me. You need Me through these times. Remember, I truly died for you on the cross. Remember, little one, I have chosen you to write to Me. Do you think I will ever abandon you? I am a God who truly loves His people. I love you with such ardent love. You must never doubt.

    Look into My face and see My gentleness. I am the kindest of all hearts. I am He who knows how to love with such love. Become totally lost in My arms.

    Do you think Satan will not taunt you? Put him behind you. You are being guarded by God and His heavenly court. Walk in My ways and the angels walk with you on your path. You are escorted on your way and you are never alone. You are guarded as a precious treasure that is being transported to another place.

    You need to put all your cares in My hands. You are developing true trust when you let go and let Me take over. Keep trusting and silence the ugly prompting of Satan who wants you to worry about useless things. Quit worrying and pray and play with your children. I am telling you there is so much peace and grace gained by private prayer with them. I will tend to all the details of your life. Do not worry for one moment. Put your life in My hands. I am here, little one. Read this message and all of them over and over again.

    You need to go to the Blue Book for your answers. Your answers are found there. I never leave your side. God is guarding you. Just continue to have a union with Me all through the day. All the prayer time alone with Me in one day is not enough. I want you in constant prayer.

    Turn to Me and My Blue Book. This will help many priests to come back and sit before Me in private union with Me. When priests come back to the tabernacle, the flock will begin to be led back to His altar. Priests need to read these letters. They are the preachers. If they do not value their own relationship with Jesus, if they are being led away from Me with busyness, they will not preach the intimate love of Jesus. They are so busy, but it is like throwing out the baby with the bath water. I am the center and their relationship with Me is utmost.

    The priests need these messages. They need to have an intimate, close union with Me. They should be preaching "time in front of the tabernacle." They should be preaching My intense love for My people and how I have so much to give. Some sermons are so complicated—yet nothing about union with Me in the Eucharist and in front of the tabernacle.

    I want My priests to come back and pray before My tabernacle. I want them to read these messages and make Jesus the Center of their lives. When they are led back to Jesus, they will lead the flock home. Priests need adoration every day for at least an hour. I don't care how busy they are. None of it matters if they are not spending time in private prayer alone with Me. They need to come and get their supplies. They need to quit thinking they are doing it and turn back to turning their lives totally over to Me, to totally letting their burdens and busy lives off at the foot of My cross and letting Me lead the way.

    There is not one priest who has so much to do that he cannot do private adoration daily. When the priest comes back to the power in the Eucharist and the tabernacle, the congregation will turn to God for their troubled hearts. Satan has led priests away from Jesus. They are so busy they cannot do all their work, but this must all take second place to praying silently before God and reading His words. These letters will help many priests to come back and be intimate with Jesus.

    All the rituals, all the upkeep of the churches, all the little details, and the King of Glory sits alone! You have thrown out the baby with the bath water. You are missing the boat.

    I want the priests to read this message. Where is the reverence after Communion and who has even heard it mentioned in the church? Private union with Jesus! What an honor! I have all you need. Come to Me and I will give you rest. I am all powerful. I have all the power. I am hyper—vigilant over your lives. I guard you. Quit trying to do it yourselves. Become selfless and let Me possess your souls.

    Have the priests spread these messages. Read them in church. I want adoration of the Eucharist back. I want people to know I am God and I am coming to them in Holy Communion. I want the Blessed Sacrament exposed. I want My churches open. Union with Jesus, the love of Jesus, trust, faith, love for one another, love of God—I want all of these preached from the pulpit!

    I am the Alpha and the Omega. I want My people to be led back to the center, which is Jesus. Pray for your priests. They are under attack. If Satan can wreck the family, the priests, the children, he has it made.

    You are under attack, My beloved priests, and you, in your busyness, are being led away from your union with Jesus. Bring yourselves back to Me and let Me give you My love. I am indeed the bridegroom of your souls. I wait for My beloved ones at the altar. I long for private union with all My beloved ones.

    Come to Me, all who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Come and be lifted up to heights you never dreamed possible. I am God. Put your lives in My hands. Let Me run your life. Quit running amok. You have lost your way and are running down the wrong road. Bring your lives back to Jesus in the tabernacle.

    The world is getting farther from God every minute. Read the messages at prayer meetings. Spread them by word of mouth. The time you waste is valuable. These words are not meant to be saved. Spread them here by any means possible. I want them out, I tell you! If someone wants to read some messages, give them to them and let them read them at prayer meetings. There is no secret here. They are from Me and I want them out. I want you to speak. A lot of your discontent is in sitting around with all these messages and not spreading them. Tell your friends to speak. Speak My words here. You don't have to mention the source. Spread the messages. You are not what is important. The messages are. You will be exposed. Don't worry who knows, but don't spread your own story. Spread the messages. Like ripples on a pond, the love of God will be spread throughout the land. I have so much to give to My hurting ones. I am your God. I died for you out of deepest love. I have come in these messages to lead you back home.

    Quit worrying of details. I am He Who runs the show. Pray for guidance every day. Spend one hour in front of the tabernacle. You cannot do in a million years what I can do in one moment. Quit relying on yourselves. You are only pushing buttons. When you are fixed in Me, the right door opens. When you go it alone, you have a hard road to walk. One hour in private adoration. Be silent or read the Blue Book. Your life will become uplifted by My teaching and you will sail a blue sky.

    Spend time in silence and some in reading My words in front of Me. I am talking to you in these letters. What power, to read them in front of the tabernacle! You can't go it alone. You need My help. You need your supplies. But you must come and get them! You are following your tail around if you do it alone. I am He Who can do all this. When you realize My power in adoration, your lives will change. As long as you are too busy you will have a hard time. The soul craves this union with Me.

    Lead the priests back to adoration and the people will follow. Our leaders have become too busy for adoration. This is the key, the key to unlock the doors to the world's problems. It is found in front of the tabernacle, at daily Mass and Communion. Do the priests ever preach any of this? You have forgotten your center, Jesus, in the Eucharist! All the power is found in Jesus. You have all that you need and you walk about and decorate My churches and clean every speck of dust and repair My pews and carpet My house and fix My organs but you walk about and miss the King of Glory who sits there all alone! Spread the messages on the tabernacle. I want them out!

Prayer for Union With Jesus

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling in me.

I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of The Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

                Sing: On Eagles Wings

February 7, 2002

To whom it may concern,
  

    We circulate the Priestly Newsletter that goes to 75,000 priests in the world. This has been circulated since 1994 at the direction of Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. who had a doctorate in Theology and taught at Xavier University for over thirty years and author of eighteen books on the spiritual life and many other various publications.

    Our primary purpose is to circulate this Newsletter. We are now sending three years of Newsletters in a book of 342 pages to 75,000 priests in the United States and 90 foreign countries. A special Newsletter is enclosed with Father Carter's powerful writing on Grace (2001 issue 1). This writing is also available on tape and on disc.

    Our coequal purpose is to circulate prayer manuals Father Carter compiled for prayer chapters praying for the priests, the Church and
the world.

    All of our printing and postage costs so much money.

    We operate from the Virgin Mary building in Clearwater, Florida, pictures are enclosed. We use the building to spread materials and rosaries
to encourage people to pray for the priests, the Church and the world.

    We also have a church we received from the diocese in China, Indiana where we distribute our materials and pray before the Blessed Sacrament hourly and about two hours or more at 6:20 every day. Monthly adoration before the exposed Eucharist is held for our members for 48 hours on the 12th of each month to the 14th.

    We have a third center in Morrow, Ohio which is our communication center and mailing address.

    We circulate rosaries handmade to Catholic schools all over the United States and meditation sheets and consecration cards. We try to send scapulars too when we have them. We supply many beads to our rosary makers for this.

    We had difficulty all last summer securing funds for beads for our rosary makers. We were not able to send the 100,000 or more rosaries we usually send in October and May because of funds.

    We need $10,000 every month for the loan on the Virgin Mary building. We pray nightly there usually for about two hours or more at 6:20. We pray all through the day there, hourly, many times before the image. A big prayer meeting is held on the 5th of the month. Prayers are prayed for about 4 hours for the priests, the Church and the world. We broadcast to at least 8 states and all join in the prayers, including Morrow and China.

    We have a nursing home ministry and a prison ministry. We supply coloring books of the rosary mysteries and the Mass to children.

    We desperately need funds for the printing and the rosary making operation and all the postage. Bishops from foreign countries beg for rosaries and prayer sheets with the Shepherds of Christ Prayers.

    Now we are struggling with the monthly rent on the building and the postage for the foreign mailing of the Priestly Newsletter Book II.

    We always need money for the rosary beads for the schools and the Virgin Mary building.

    We also do a Holy Spirit Novena, but the little book has been out of print for some time because of lack of funds. Teachers like to use it for confirmation. We have prayer chapters using it daily all over the world.

    We want to circulate pictures of the crucifix and Mary's image on the building, we are unable to do this because of lack of funds. Enclosed are pictures of the crucifix and the Virgin Mary building.

    A very important part of our Movement is trying to get people to say the Morning Offering. Here is a card we distribute extensively, especially to Nursing Homes and school children.
   

  

  
    Here is a short form of consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary that we circulate extensively.
  

  

   
    Can you help us. It is a real shame to not even have rent on the building Mary appears on.

    We need to tell the world about the Mass. This is another important aspect of our ministry. We have so many writings about the Mass. Mass Book I with the Imprimatur—and all Fr. Carter's writings and many other writings discerned by Fr Carter before his death. 

    It is a shame with all the money in the world not to be able to get the rosary beads to the rosary makers for school children who want them to pray the rosary.

    Our movement is trying to do what Our Lady told us to do at Fatima for peace in the world.

    Can you help us?

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary speaks:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

ROSARY MEDITATIONS

THE SORROWFUL MYSTERIES

The Agony in the Garden

1. R. Be with Jesus as He kneels in the Garden of Gethsemane.
2. R. Be there in the night. Hear the sounds of the night. See Jesus as He kneels in such agony to see before Him all the sufferings that He is about to undergo.
3. R. With greatest love for each one of us, the Father sent into this world His only-begotten Son.
4. R. Jesus took on a human nature with greatest love for each one of us. He now kneels in the Garden, His Heart in such anguish. He who is Love sees before Him all the souls from all time who would neglect Him and treat Him so indifferently despite all His suffering and love that His most tender Heart has for each and every soul.
5. R. He saw before Him all the souls that would be condemned to eternal damnation despite the fact that He suffered and died for love of each soul.
6. R. The anguish that He suffered in the Garden, the agonies that He suffered in His most Sacred Heart, were far greater than the physical wounds that He would soon bear throughout His entire Passion. For He is Love, with a Heart burning for love of all souls-the souls that neglect Him, the souls that do not even think of Him, the souls that go through their lives, have nothing to do with Jesus, and then are condemned forever and ever to the fires of hell.
7. R. Jesus remains with us this very day, the same as the day that He knelt in the Garden. He remains with us in His divinity and humanity. With greatest love for each one of us He longs, He thirsts, He waits for us to come and be with Him in front of the tabernacle.
8. His suffering in the Garden was so great that His sweat became as great drops of blood upon the ground.
9. R. He went to the apostles and asked them, "Had you not the strength to stay awake one hour?" (Mk 14:37) How many times does Jesus ask us this day if we do not have one hour to spend with Him? There are twenty-four hours in a day. But how many times during the day do we say no to Jesus, that we are too busy. And His Heart waits and waits for us. At every second His Heart is an endless, burning furnace of love. Whether we think of Him or not, He is always ablaze, on fire for us, loving us and waiting for us to allow Him to be our constant companion.
10. R. God, grant to us the grace to know and to love You more so that we can more fully realize that You truly are God-made-man in Jesus Christ, that You come to this earth in greatest love for each one of us, that You long and wait for our love and that You want to give us Your love.

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.

     

   

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. Jesus: My Heart is on fire for each one of My precious souls. I long for you to come and be with Me. As I suffered all through My Passion, the greatest agonies were not the agonies that I suffered to My body-the scourging at the pillar, the tearing of My flesh-but the agonies that I endured to My most tender Heart, which is a Heart of love waiting to share with each and every one of My precious souls. Oh, My children, I call out to you this day to spread My love to the world that is in pain. I call out to you to be My soldiers, to spread the love of My Most Sacred Heart to the souls that are suffering and in pain. You are My mighty warriors in a world that is cold and has forgotten God. You must be strong soldiers, for this world will persecute you as they persecuted Me. I send you into the world, armed with hearts filled with My love, to spread My love along the highways and the byways in every corner of this earth and I ask you this day, can you say no?
2. Jesus: They tied Me to a pillar and they beat My flesh. My once unblemished back was now an open wound. I was full of blood. But My worst agony was the agony that I endured in My Most Sacred Heart, the Heart that gives to you and to every soul divine love, divine life, and is rejected by many, is treated coldly.
3. Jesus: I loved Judas so dearly and Judas betrayed Me with a kiss. How many of My dear souls come to Me with hearts that are hot and cold. I want you to come to Me with hearts, full of love, that will unite with Mine, that will become one with Mine, that will give to this world My love for your hurting brothers. I ask you this day, "Do not say no!" I am truly Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who was scourged at the pillar for love of your brothers. I ask you to hear the blows that they gave to Me. They are the blows that I suffered for your brother. How can you treat your brother badly when they tore My flesh, and out of greatest love I withstood all this treatment for your beloved brother?
4. Jesus: I gave My all. I stood there. I was beaten. I was bruised. I was bloodied. I came to show you the way, the way to love. They persecuted Me. I loved those who persecuted Me. I ask you this day to be kind in your heart, to give to this world the love that I want to give to you. I am a burning furnace of endless love. My power never goes out. My love is never spent. Come to My Most Sacred Heart and I will fill your hearts with endless love.
5. Song: Lord, let me walk that last mile in Your shoes, under the weight of the wood…
6. Jesus: See in the dim light as I stand at the pillar. See the men with their angry faces, with hatred in their hearts, as they pound at My flesh.
7. Jesus: When they persecute you and hate you because you are not of this world, you must endure all out of greatest love. My way is always love. I came to show you the way, the way to eternal happiness. It is only in loving one another that you will merit eternal life. I ask you for two things. I ask you to love God and to love one another.
8. Jesus: Come to My Eucharistic Heart! Let Me fill you with the fire of My love so that it will radiate to all those that you come in contact with. For the power of the Almighty God is a power that cannot be contained. It will radiate from your being to all those you touch.
9. Jesus: When I walked from the pillar, the earth was marked by My bloody footprints.
10. Jesus: As the earth was marked by My bloody footprints, I ask you to make a mark on this world, to spread to this world the love of My Most Sacred Heart.

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love…

   

  

The Crowning with Thorns

1. Jesus: My body was battered, bruised and bloodied, and they covered Me with a dirty purple robe that they put on top of My wounds. I held a scepter and they crowned Me with a sharp crown of piercing thorns.
2. R. Do you know what it is like to get a little splinter in your hand? They pounded into Jesus' most precious head thorns that were thick and piercing until the blood ran down His face, into His eyes and into His ears. His hair was matted. This was truly the King of Kings! The Son of God! And He was crowned with a crown of piercing thorns!
3. Song: Only this I want, but to know the Lord, and to bear His cross, so to wear the crown He wore…
4. Jesus: They spit on Me and they hollered slanders at Me and I sat, as they did, in silence.
5. Jesus: I truly came into this world, the Son of God, to show you the way. As I sat in silence, think of how you respond to those who come to you with hatred in their hearts. My way is the way of love. You must love all your brothers as I have loved.
6. Jesus: My Father created each and every child-so precious, so unique-with such love that He sent Me into this world.
7. Jesus: I love you so this day that I would suffer again all that I suffered for you before.
8. Jesus: With all the love that I pour out to each and every one of you, think of how it is to love so much and to be neglected by so many.
9. Jesus: Pray to the Spirit to open your heart to the fire of My love.
10. Jesus: You are blind men! You do not see the love that I outpour to you. You see little incidental things, so close in front of your face, when My Heart is overflowing with divine love, with divine life. I want to give you My life! I give you Myself in the Eucharist. Come for My love. Nothing on this earth can compare to My divine love and My divine life that I want to give to you!

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love...

  

   

The Carrying of the Cross

1. R. See Jesus with His hands tied, with a look of perfect peace on His face. And see those men who are surrounding Jesus, with their sharp instruments poking at Him with anger and hatred on their faces-such anger and hatred that they condemned Jesus to death on a cross!
2. R. They gave to Him a heavy cross that they put on His most precious shoulder. He carried the weight of the sins of the world on His back. This is the love that He has for each and every man, that He carries the cross with our sins on His back.
3. R. He calls out to us that He is no less present in the Eucharist this day than the day He walked to Calvary with His cross on His back. And He says to each one of us, "I give you Myself. Why do you run from My altar when I, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, come to you and become one with you, and you run from the Church?"
4. Jesus: I peered into the eyes of My beloved mother and she peered into My eyes. There was joy at the meeting of the eyes, but such sorrow deep within each of Our Hearts. The knowing of My mother, the knowing of Me, her most precious Son, and how she had held Me and loved Me! I saw her in such suffering! I saw her face with tears. I saw My most precious mother torn so deeply in her Heart. It is the love of Our Hearts for you that has led us to this place. I ask you to spread this love throughout the world. I would truly carry My cross this day for you because I love you so dearly. My children! My children! What more do you want than that God comes to earth and is born a man out of greatest love for you? And you in your limited vision see only in front of your face. You do not come to My altar to receive the life that I want to outpour to you. My children! My children! You are so blind! Pray for grace! Pray for My life, to know and love all that you do not see. You do not see because you do not come to My altar, because you do not spend time with Me!
5. Jesus: My mother comes to stay, to lead you ever closer to My most tender Heart. I ask you to answer this call, the call of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to be joined ever closer to the Hearts brimming over with love for each and every soul.
6. Jesus: I fell under My cross. The weight was so heavy! I did not give My cross up. I willingly carried this cross for love of you!
7. Jesus: It is in living in the Father's Will that you will be the happiest. To My very death I followed the Will of the Father.
8. Song: See the eyes that look at Mary, her tender infant child. See the child's Heart beat so tenderly, the Savior of the world.
9. R. See through the eyes of Mary. She peered into Jesus' eyes on Calvary. See through the eyes of Mary as she comes and appears to us this day to tell us to see her through her eyes the love of her precious Son, Jesus Christ, to see that He truly walked to Calvary, that He was truly scourged and crowned with thorns and that He did it for greatest love of each of us. And He calls out this day for us to come and be with Him and to spread His love to this world.
10. Song: She rocked Him as a baby. She fed Him as a child. She heard Him call Her name out in the night. She helped Him take His first step and she cried when He said His first words. I wish they all could see through a Mother's eyes.

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love…

  

  

The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus on the Cross

1. R. See the little hands of Jesus. See the little feet of Jesus as Mary holds Him as a baby. And now she stands and watches as they pound nails through His most precious hands into the cross. The anguish in her Heart so deep! And a sword, too, shall pierce your Heart, Oh Mary!
2. R. Mary does not bear the wounds, the blood, as Jesus does. But Mary's Heart is torn to see her beloved Son, battered, bruised and bloody, and now hanging on the cross!
3. R. Be there! The sky has turned dark as Jesus hangs for three agonizing hours on the cross. His body is humped over. He is so weak! He gives His blood. He spreads His arms. He gives His all for love of each and every one of us. He truly gives His flesh. He gives His blood because He loves us so much! He was born a human! He was born on bare wood in a stable and now He hangs on a cross!
4. R. His blood was spent so that we could inherit eternal life.
5. R. As He gave His life on the cross, so He gives us His life this day in the Eucharist!
6. Song: I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me shall not hunger and who believes in Me shall not thirst. No one can come to Me unless the Father beckons. And I will raise you up, and I will raise you up, and I will raise you up on the last day.
7. R. He gave the last beat of His Heart. He gave His last breath. He gave His all. His hands were punctured with nails. His Head was pierced with thorns. He gave the inside of His body as well as the outside of His body! And He asks us, in greatest love, to surrender ourselves to Him. For He truly gave His all for love of us. If He loved us so much that He gave His body, His blood, His all for each and every one of us, would He not give us from His abundance this day? He comes with such letters of love to tell you that He is truly Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and in your midst this day in the Eucharist, waiting for you to come and be with Him, for He truly loves with a Heart of divine love. He truly has divine life that He outpours to each and every soul. He wants so much to share Himself with each one of us!
   Jesus: Come to Me, My children, and I will give you My divine love, My divine life. I love you so dearly! I call out to you this day to come for My love and to give this love to the world for it is only through you that the Father's plan will be realized. For a heart fixed on the love of God can move a mountain. I am asking you to live in the Father's Will, to spread My love throughout the world. If you say no, this world will suffer. You are My chosen ones, each and every soul. Come! Be filled with the love I pour out to you. Love your fellowmen. Love your brothers when they hate you and persecute you. Love them as I loved those who put Me to death. I ask you this day to open your hearts and rid yourselves of all impurities, to pray to the Spirit to sanctify your hearts, to clean out the debris of hatred and anger, and to come to My tabernacle with a heart that is open and pure so I can fill you with My divine love. For it is in your uniting with Me that I can operate from you and love this world as I so desire. This is My call to you this day. Can you say no? See Me hanging on the cross. This is how I loved you!
8. R. Mary stood under the cross and she saw Her beloved Son as He took His last breath.
9. R. She calls out to you this day. She is calling! She is calling each and every soul that He gave His life for to know His love. For it is only in this love that you will find what your soul craves.
10. R. And they gave to Mary the lifeless body of her precious Son. As she held His baby body tenderly in her arms, she-so weak!-now holds His lifeless body in her arms, covered with blood.

THE SORROWFUL MYSTERIES

  

  

The Agony in the Garden

1. Jesus: Surrender! Surrender to Me as I surrendered to the Father in the Garden. I said to My Father, "Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine." (Lk 22:42) As you are in your hearts troubled and anxious, I am there ever present to comfort you, to give you My peace. Let go, let go, let go! I am forever with you at every second, at every moment. I do not go! I forever remain in your hearts. Let go! As you live, so do I live in you!
2. Jesus: I knelt in the Garden in such agony! I saw before Me all that I would undergo, all the beatings, all the scourging. I knew the Father's Will. I complied with the Father's Will as I ask you to surrender totally to Me. Let go! Focus on Me! Do not focus on those things that are parading in your mind, but release your mind to the mysteries of heaven, to My Passion and My death!
3. Jesus: And My faithful ones, who came to comfort Me-they slept!
4. Jesus: Indifference! Ingratitude! Neglect! I saw before Me all those who would neglect Me and treat Me with indifference. How My Heart ached with pain to see the souls that I loved so dearly filled with such nonsense!
5. Jesus: My Heart, an endless furnace of divine love, of divine life, beating and burning for love of precious souls and they do not see! They have closed their eyes and plugged up their ears and I wait and long to be ever close to them! Spread My love throughout this world. You will be met with resistance on all sides. But I beg you this day to listen to My cry. I cry out to you to stand firm. I am calling you to stand up against the world.
6. Jesus: As one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord. I cry out to you to go to the highways and byways. Shout from the rooftops that I am Lord and that I am in your midst this day. Prepare Me a way, for I am coming!
7. Jesus: I saw before Me all the souls that would be lost to eternal damnation despite all My sufferings. I call out to you this day to harken to My pleading to be about this world spreading My love. There are souls that are at stake, depending upon what you do with your lives. Will you spread My love? Will you be My mouthpiece to this world? I call out to you. You must stand strong and pray to the Spirit for He transforms you from fear to fearlessness. You are My apostles to go into this world and spread the love of My Most Sacred Heart!
8. Jesus: As I knelt in the Garden, as I suffered so many agonies in My Heart, I was comforted by the love that you show to Me this day.
9. Song: O Burning Heart, O Love divine! How sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You are here, to love and care for me.
10. Jesus:The world is blind and deaf! They have plugged up their ears and covered their eyes. You must go into this world. You must stand strong. You have a message of My love to give. I beg you to give this message to the world that is in much pain, that has covered its eyes and plugged up its ears. I beg you to spread this love in every corner of this world this day. You are apostles that I send into this world.

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love. I am your loving Savior. I am your God. I died for you. I come to you this day.

   

   

Jesus Is Scourged at the Pillar

1. Jesus: The blood that I shed when I was scourged was blood red! My Heart, which beats out of endless love for you, is a Heart that is red, beating with a burning fire for love of you. I call out to you to draw yourselves ever closer to My Heart for I am waiting and longing and thirsting for your love. Let go of the little distractions you have this day that keep you from increased union with Me. Release yourself and be totally alone in deep union with Me. See only Me. Let go. Release yourselves! I am here with You!
2. Jesus: Totally focus on Me!
3. Jesus: Release yourself from all the distractions in your heart. Be alone in deep union with Me!
4. Jesus: Just as I shed My blood for you as they scourged Me, My Heart cries this day in endless love.
5. Jesus: See them as they beat Me at the pillar. Hear the blows! This is the love that I have for you. This day will you be alone with Me and totally focus on only Me? Let yourself go. Be in a room where we are together in close union.
6. Jesus: And our hearts beat so closely, as one!
7. Hail Mary ...
8. Jesus: See Me at the pillar! See Me as I stand with the deepest love for all souls.
9. Song: Come unto Me all who are weary and find rest for your souls. Come unto Me, all who are burdened. I will comfort you.
   Jesus: I am with you in deep union despite the distractions and all that goes on around you. I am so closely connected with you! Your concentration on Me is important to your union with Me. Focus totally on My beating Heart and the love that I have for you. My Heart beat with deep love as I stood at the pillar and bled dark red blood.
10. Jesus:It is this blood I shed for you, this blood I gave for you, that I ask you to focus on this day. Think of what it is like to shed your blood for another person. Would you shed your blood for another person? I shed My blood for you. In meditating on this blood that I shed, you will realize more and more the immensity of My love.

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love…

  

   

Jesus Is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

1. Jesus: I come to talk to you to tell you the desires of My Heart. As people are blind and do not see, I talk to you this day and ask you to focus on Me and to know that I am truly with you. As you breathe and as your heart beats, I am ever present and within you. I am here present with you. I am the Almighty God! My love I outpour to you. My grace I give to you.
2. Jesus: I am the Almighty God! I am forever present. It is in your suffering that you are strengthened. I ask you to focus on the crown of thorns they placed on My head. As the blood ran down the sides of My face, think of how this felt! As I sat wounded, My body covered with deep wounds and bleeding, the blood ran into My eyes and into My ears. This is the blood that I shed for you.
3. Jesus: Put yourself there as I sit. Feel as they spit on Me! Feel as they poke at Me! Think of how you would feel to be treated the way they treated Me! Put yourself on the chair and go through My sufferings with Me.
4. Jesus: Feel your head as it pounds from the thorns! Feel the blood as it runs on your body! Feel the gashes that burn so deeply under the cloak! Feel the spit as it hits your face! This is the love that I have for you!
5. Jesus: I ask you to be My soldiers, to go out into this world. They persecuted Me. They whipped Me. They crowned Me with thorns and they put Me to death. I loved those who treated Me so violently. I ask you this day to focus entirely on Me. If the earth falls down around you, interiorly the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are forever within your breast with such love.
6. Jesus: No person can ever take away your union within with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Your union forever and ever and ever in eternity depends upon the union you have with God here.
7. Jesus: I call you to sainthood! I call you to holiness! As I suffered this spit that hit My face and body, I call you to suffer with Me all the persecution that you may receive. For in this persecution I am totally present at every second. As your heart beats, as you breathe every breath, I never leave you! If the earth shakes around you, if it rocks and the floor cracks, you will sit steadfast for I never leave you. Hear the small, gentle voice within your heart as it calls to you, "I love you, I love you, I love you!"
8. Jesus: My Heart is bleeding from the indifference I receive in this world. I call out to you to be strong soldiers. You must focus on Me and this interior committedness to Me.
9. Hail Mary ...
10. Song: Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon His throne. His regal scepter knows no bounds. All kingdoms are His own. All Christians come and sing to Him who died for Thee. And hail Him as our Savior King for all eternity.

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love…

   

   

Jesus Carries His Cross Up Calvary

1. Jesus: Hear the still, small voice as it says so gently inside: "I love you, I love you, I love you!"
2. Jesus: I ask you to carry your crosses as I carried Mine. The cross was so heavy I could scarcely move. I fell under its weight. I ask you to accept your crosses willingly. It is in accepting these crosses that you will be strengthened for I provide everything you need. Your lessons I teach you with the greatest love. Your crosses I give you out of great love for you. It is in these crosses that you receive new life, new life in Me! Accept all that I give you!
3. Jesus: As I walked with My cross on My back, I peered into the beloved eyes of My dear Mother. Her face was reddened! The tears from her eyes! I could see the sufferings deep within far more than the features of her face. How My Heart was torn to see My beloved Mother, whom I love so much, riddled with such suffering!
4. Jesus: I watch you, My child. I am forever with you! I know all the desires, the sufferings, of your heart. It is in your sufferings, your acceptance of your sufferings, that you give Me such great love.
5. Jesus: How do you love Me, child? You love Me through holiness, through loving your brothers. Always love! I loved those who persecuted Me. You must always love! Focus on the love I have for you and hear the still, small voice as it whispers within your heart: "I love you, I love you, I love you!"
6. Jesus: You are My beloved ones. You I love. You I want closer union with. You, you, My precious loved ones!
7. Jesus: Carry the crosses that I give to you with great joy, for they are given to you with My great love. It is in carrying these crosses that you will receive new life in Me.
8. Jesus: I was crowned with thorns! I was beaten over My entire body! I was always at peace. Remain at peace for you know the immense love that I have for you. I never leave you.
9. Jesus: It is in following the Father's Will and living in His Will as a little child that you will have peace, joy and true happiness.
10. Jesus: My dear soldiers, you are being strengthened for the days ahead. I am totally with you and present. All that you undergo I am allowing. I ask you to accept each and every suffering that I give you as a gift from Me to you, given out of great love! It is in these sufferings that you will be drawn ever closer to My Most Sacred Heart.

Song between decades: I come to you with greatest love...)

   

   

Jesus Dies on the Cross

1. Jesus: I hung for three agonizing hours to My death on the cross! Put yourself on the cross. Your hands nailed, your feet nailed to the cross! Your body covered with wounds! Put yourself there!
2. Jesus: It is in meditating on My passion that you will know of My immense love.
3. Jesus: I truly hung there to My death!
4. Jesus: I accepted death on the cross in compliance with My Father's Will and in great love for you.
5. Song: I come to you with greatest love. I am your loving Savior. I am your God. I died for you. I come to you this day.
6. Jesus: This is the love that I have for you this day. I ask you to put the world aside. Focus on loving one another. Focus on Me! I fill you with this immense love. Hear the cry of the voice inside: "I love you, I love you." Do not be angry with those around you. It is your committedness to Me, committedness to this union with Me, to making Me the center of your every thought, to letting Me live in you, through you and with you, and at every second to totally surrender, that allows Me to operate in you. It is no longer you who live, but I who live in you!
7. Jesus: You are My chosen ones, to whom I give My Heart!
8. Jesus: My Heart was pierced with a lance and what poured out was the abounding love from My Heart, blood and water for your salvation!
9. Jesus: It is up to you to let go! Always love! I loved those who persecuted Me. I did not hold grudges. I loved. There is no division in love. There is always unity in love. You must love all! I loved those who put Me to death! I surrendered always to the Father's Will. Anything that happens to you this day I am allowing! Accept what I am giving to you today and love it as coming from Me.
10. Jesus: Among the thorns there will be a bed of roses. Come to My bed of roses!

Song after the last decade: I come to you with greatest love…

February 25, 2004

February 25, 2004

Given February 25, 2006 - 7:40am

Jesus speaks:      A man went out and he bought some shoes
                            and he forgot he bought them and kept
                            wearing his old shoes.

                          His old shoes had big holes in the bottom
                            and they even hurt his feet and he
                            could wear the new shoes but he
                            kept wearing the old shoes anyway, wearing
                            the old shoes and the new shoes
                            sat and sat.

                          The new shoes had good soles and he
                            could have stopped his feet from hurting,
                            but he kept wearing his old shoes,
                            his feet even bled now because
                            the holes on the bottom were so
                            big and he was wearing off the skin
                            on the bottom of his feet.

                         I give you these directions in God's Blue
                            Book how to live and be happy and be
                            at peace, but you must use the
                            book and apply what I tell you.

                          Some people are so dysfunctional they
                            do not want to change and do not
                            recognize their dysfunction —
                            their old shoes are familiar.

                          A controlling man going against My
                            will is never happy.

                          Some just want control at all costs.
                            Rather than praying for God's
                            grace and knowing My will —
                            they plan and force others
                            to follow their plan, while
                            others cry.

                          People are controlling —

                            when they fail to ask what is
                            God's will and do their own
                            will interacting with others
                            against God's will, the devil
                            can work in the cracks to
                            try to make things go a certain
                            way as the players follow
                            a will contrary to God's.

                          A person never tries to make another
                            dependent on them for their own
                            sake —

                          I have a plan for you and you give
                            freely —

                          If you try to control others to rescue
                            them, keep them in your
                            dependent snare —                         

                            you can be making others
                            slavishly dependent —

                          A person giving themselves to a certain
                            order, takes a vow/promise to
                            serve the needs of the order for
                            a particular purpose.

                          In religious orders a person is under
                            a superior for a purpose of
                            helping the needs of the Church,
                            poor people, etc. —

                          All is focused on this mission —

                            people live in communities,
                            working and praying together
                            for the purpose.

                          Sisters and brothers take a vow/promise
                            of celibacy.

                          A person just making another wait
                            for control sake is not doing
                            God's will.

                          They think - you wait on me and I
                            will come in and rescue you.

                          Communities are set up with provincials,
                            superiors and the superiors are
                            to be obeyed. A person in
                            religious life gives themselves
                            freely to the mission.

                          A person was controlling blocking
                            others from participating as
                            they should, they tried to do
                            all the work themselves so they
                            could look superior in their
                            ways. They pushed violating
                            the natural law of eating
                            and sleeping as the body requires.

                          Their life was full of dysfunction
                            insisting on working into the
                            late nights, sometimes getting
                            little or no sleep and then
                            the food issue was dysfunctional.

                          They would not eat properly, sometimes
                            abusing themselves this way for
                            a day and their disposition
                            was effected majorly, but
                            their dysfunction was so bad
                            and they were so willful
                            they continued, hurting others
                            because of the chemical
                            imbalance from not eating
                            properly.

                          Why or what the reason is, is not the
                            issue, as the basic issue of
                            the natural law —
                            bodies need sleep
                            bodies need food
                            bodies need water.

                          The devil can tempt someone to stay up
                             at night and miss sleep and the person
                             gives in.

                          Late projects, consistently at midnight
                            are not right if one stays
                            awake all day.

                         Sleep must be attained sometime to
                            keep the body going.

                          Food is necessary and eating to
                            sustain ones work load.

                          A person can press another,
                            and the person may be
                            dysfunctional —

                          A girl may be in the habit of
                            being on the phone every
                            day until 5 AM - driving
                            at night to get to other
                            places etc., but if the
                            dysfunction and willfulness
                            is in her — she will insist
                            until others may be forced
                            to deal with that life style.

                          Food disorders - are major ways the
                            devil can work in dysfunction —

                          Every person needs their space,
                            time alone with Me to pray
                            and be alone working on their
                            relationship with Me.

                          Someone may be given a job and
                            because of their dysfunction
                            they may work all night and
                            get others to work to get it
                            done. It is the dysfunction
                            of the one pushing and pushing
                            who stays up at night and
                            violates the natural need for
                            sleep.

                          Dysfunction creeps in with a willful
                            person wanting to implement their
                            ways —

                          I will get the job done and show you
                            my might —

                          Later I will cause problems and waste
                            days because I did not obey
                            the natural law of eating and
                            sleeping.

                          A person set on staying up all
                            night will do so if they are
                            determined.

                          A young girl once said, "I am                           
                            afraid to go to bed" - she
                            wanted every job she began
                            done immediately and she
                            violated the natural law
                            trying to prove to others she
                            could finish it —
                            like a mighty lady that
                            she was.

                          Others were left out while she over-functioned
                            doing more than what was required
                            and implementing her dysfunction
                            in the works — against the
                            natural law.

                          People must sleep and eat properly.

Messenger:        Jesus told me to put rosaries online
                                in the daily messages.

                            He said a person could pray 
                                the rosary with a laptop
                                in which the rosary has been
                                downloaded or it could be
                                prayed online.

                            He also told me to record rosaries
                                on disc and tape for those walking
                                and jogging.

                            We will soon have various rosaries
                                and rosary meditations available
                                on tapes and discs for this purpose.

                            Many, many rosary meditation tapes
                                and discs are available now for
                                this purpose.

                            Order your tapes and discs of rosary

Fr. Carter had a dream.

                R. In the Sundays of Cycle B —

                    The 1st Reading of the First Sunday we
                see deals with Covenant —

                    "A Covenant", Fr. Joe says, "is a
                serious commitment or promise
                two people make to each other.
                It defines their relationship and
                the expectations they have of each
                other. Except when people get married
                the word 'covenant' is not often
                used today. However before the time
                of Christ, it was the usual manner
                by which people, and sometimes
                nations, entered into binding agreements
                with one another. It was the way
                God chose to enter into a relationship
                with the people. During this season
                of Lent, the theme of covenant will
                keep coming up in the weeks to come.
                Today we hear about the covenant
                God made with Noah and all creation
                after the great flood. Notice this
                covenant is unusual in that God
                makes all the promises and asks
                nothing of Noah and his family in
                return. St. Peter, in the second reading,
                tells us this covenant prefigured
                baptism with God promising us
                salvation and eternal life. As we
                learn in the weeks to come, God does
                have expectations of us. Whenever we
                come to Mass, we renew this covenant
                God has made with us. We are assured
                of eternal life through Jesus Christ and
                we commit ourselves to loving
                and obeying him."

                    Fr. Carter says with regard to baptisms
                and covenant in Response in Christ 

                Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J. 

    The Christian, then, shares in the life of Christ's Resurrection. But if he participates in the Resurrection of Christ he must also share in Christ's death, since death is the way to Resurrection. St. Paul tells us: "We are dead to sin, so how can we continue to live in it? You have been taught that when we were baptised in Christ Jesus we were baptised in his death; in other words, when we were baptised we went into the tomb with him and joined him in death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father's glory, we too might live a new life." (Rm 6:2-4).

    Through Baptism therefore the Christian is incorporated into Christ's death-resurrection. Baptism pledges the Christian to die to sin and ideally to all that is not in accordance with God's will, even though sin is not involved. Baptism also pledges the Christian to live vitally his new life in Christ, his share in Christ's Resurrection. As he is incorporated into Christ through baptism, the Christian is also made a member of the Church. Awareness of this simultaneous incorporation into both Christ and the Church emphasizes for the Christian the fact that his life of holiness in Christ is to be lived out in community. In other words, the Christian lives in Christ within the People of God, within the Church. This stress of contemporary spirituality upon the communal aspect of Christian holiness is firmly rooted in God's revealed truth. Throughout salvation history God has lovingly communicated Himself to man within the covenant framework with its communal dimension. He has also asked for man's response in love within this same covenant framework.

    The Church in union with Christ is the new covenant. Since Christ is the Head of His Church, it follows that the Church with her members must live out the covenant life according to the structure which Christ gives her. The Church has no life, no pattern of life, except that which Christ gives her. This basic pattern or structure is death-resurrection. Christ established the Church by His paschal mystery, His death-resurrection. In so establishing the Church by such an event, Christ also determined how the Church essentially lives out her covenant life down through the ages – through death and Resurrection.

    The Church, then, continues Christ's death-resurrection. She consequently continues the entire mystery of Christ, since Christ's entire life is contained in His passover event.² We see therefore why the Church can be referred to as the continuation of the redemptive Incarnation. Indeed the Church is Christ, the mystical Christ. Because she is the earthly continuation of Christ, the Church has everything within her structure needed to be the source of salvation and sanctification for men of all times. For instance, in reference to the presently much-discussed theme of the Church's relevancy to modern man, we know from theological reflection that the Church has this relevancy radically structured within her very existence. This is simply an application of the reality that the Church actually does prolong the mission of the Incarnate Word; since Christ was relevant to His age, the Church has the capacity to be relevant to all ages.

    What do we mean by saying Christ was relevant to His age? Christ revealed the Father and communicated the Father's life to men by adapting Himself in a fundamental way to the life situation which existed at that particular time in Jewish history. Since Christ through His humanity adapted His message to the people of His times, so the Church must use her innate capacity to be relevant for the men of this or that age. She must in a sense be constantly reincarnating Christ, for she is the only visible Christ which this world now has. This reincarnation largely means being relevant.

    As the Church is the continuation of Christ, so is the life of the Christian. Just as the Church centers her life in Christ's death-resurrection, so does the life of the Christian. Both Church and Christian then are continually dying with Christ, dying to all which is not of Christ. At the same time Church and Christian are meant to rise more and more with Christ, assimilating ever more perfectly His life through grace. This life of grace is the Church's and the Christian's share in Christ's Resurrection. It is true that this life of grace will have its completion only in eternity. Nevertheless, it does have very real beginnings here in this life.

    It is therefore apparent why the Church's life is directed to the liturgy, especially the eucharistic liturgy.³ For it is within the liturgy culminating in the Mass that the death-resurrection of Christ is constantly renewed in a special manner. In the Mass the People of God have the constant opportunity to assimilate the death-resurrection of Christ more and more into their lives. As they do so collectively and individually, the People of God are continuing Christ's life and mission upon earth.

    The Christian life, then, is a response to God's gift of Himself. God in love gives us a life of grace, a share in His own divine life. We respond in love by giving ourselves to God and our fellowman, by dynamically living out this life of grace, this Christ-life, in the pattern of death-resurrection. This life of grace is meant to be exercised constantly, as the Christian loves God and man, in Christ, according to the will of the Father. Also, to reiterate, God intends that our life in Christ be lived out in the community of the Church. The Christian life can never solely be an individual's response to his God.

    As the Christian lives out this life of grace in community, he is offering Christ a new humanity through which He can reincarnate Himself. It is not only through the Church as a whole that Christ reincarnates Himself, but also, ideally, through each Christian within the Church. Each Christian has a special responsibility and privilege. No one else can offer Christ the unique opportunity of reincarnating Himself as can this or that particular Christian. For each Christian is a unique, created imitation of God never again to be repeated. Each Christian has a unique humanity to offer Christ. To the extent that he fails to do so, to that degree Christ has lost this opportunity to reincarnate Himself through this humanity.

    Consequently, the Christian life can be conceived as the Christian permitting Christ to live more and more through his total person. Christian holiness is continual growth in the assimilation of that great thought of St. Paul, ". . . I live now not with my own life but with the life of Christ who lives in me." (Ga 2:20).

    There are many ways in which the Christian can permit Christ to live in and through him. Love of the Father and love of all men, of course, are the two great themes which will channel this reincarnation of Christ. These were the great driving forces in Christ's life, and consequently they will be so in the life of the Christian.  

    If the Christian is to grow in projecting Christ through his Christian personality, he must be aware of the many various ways in which Christ loved His Father, and His will. He must be aware of the various ways in which the Father's will comes to him, and thus he will realize the multiple ways in which he is to love the Father in embracing that will. The Father's will can come to him in joy and happiness or in pain and sorrow; in work or in relaxation; in a life of great obscurity as well as in a life which commands public attention; in frustration or in success. These and many other channels of the Father's will offer the Christian the opportunity to continue this witness of Christ's life: no matter how easy or difficult, the Father's will must be lovingly embraced in all things. This is how Christ radically saved the world. This is how the Church, living according to the same principle, cooperates with Christ in furthering His redemptive work.

    Christ's great love and concern for men must also be continually reincarnated through the Christian. Contemporary spirituality makes considerable use of personalism.⁴ One basic way we can apply personalism to our present theme is as follows: God revealed His love to men in a concrete way, through a Person possessing a tangible, visible human nature. Although this tangible, historical Christ is no longer with us upon earth, the basic plan of the Father continues. To a considerable degree He still continues to give Himself, His love, through tangible, visible human natures. It is through the Christian united with Christ that God continues in many ways to make His love tangible, visible – and human – to mankind.

    Through these brief indications we can realize the various and many possibilities through which Christ lives again in the Christian. As the Christian in this manner projects Christ to his contemporary world he relives the total mystery of Christ. All the mysteries of Christ's life will be apparent somehow in such a Christian existence. But as the Christian puts on Christ more and more, death-resurrection will be especially apparent. For the Christian will be more and more going out of a self-centered existence, dying to that which is not really life at all, and increasingly passing over into a greater existence, into the life of Christ Himself. In this manner the Christian continues that transition process of passing from a lower to a higher mode of existence. We have seen this transition process to be at the heart of salvation history. We saw it in the exodus-event of the Jewish people. We saw it in the death-resurrection of Christ. We continue to find it in the life of the Christian as he prolongs the paschal mystery of Christ.

                R. I remember the words Fr. Carter
                said to me on Tom's farm on
                June 1, the month of the Sacred
                Heart —

                    The river was behind us and
                one of Tom's children had been
                married and he said — 

                R. "I have a covenant with you"
                Fr. Carter took his call as Founder of the
                Shepherds of Christ very serious. He helped me
                get the Blue Book writings published
                and the Daily Messages —

                    When Mary appeared on December 17, 1996,
                Fr. Carter had already required me to keep
                track of the 13th rosaries October 13th,
                November 13th, December 13th of 1996
                and the messages involved. Mary was
                appearing every 5th since July 5, 1994.
                On December 5, 1996 because Fr. Carter had
                told me to go to Holy Cross-Immaculata
                after we were kicked out of the
                Holy Spirit Center, the old seminary, Jesus
                appeared on the cross at the point
                of death. 12 days later Mary appeared
                in Clearwater.

                    When Fr. Carter died December 18, 2000
                4 years after Mary had appeared —
                he had passed the "baton" on
                in this photo in his house when
                I said good-bye 4 days earlier —
                December 14, 2000

December 14, 2000
4 days before Fr. Carter's death

                R. He called others in that place
                that day, a select few to take
                the Movement on —

                    Melanie and Dan, John,
                the Kellners, His sister, and
                another couple which never came.
                But this was the Covenant he
                made with us to carry out this
                commission God gave us in this
                message. 

                R. God calls us to live in community
                with each other — to relationship —

                    When Jesus gave me this vision
                5 years to the day earlier on December 17, 1991 

                R. Jesus wanted this picture on
                Blue Book II 

                R. There were visions of Our Lady
                by another visionary at Falmouth
                on the 8ths — 8 people were on
                the Ark that survived at the time of Noah —
                Here is the reading for Sunday —

                R. After things went the way
                they did at Falmouth — they
                would not publish the messages
                God gave for the Shepherds of Christ or
                put out the Blue Books —
                Falmouth, the city flooded —

                    We see Mary appeared in Clearwater
                December 17, 1996 —

                The sign of the Rainbow — I went there
                and she then appeared in Clearwater in
                rainbow gold and gold on the 5ths
                here is how she appeared as I
                prayed there — 

                R. I see the Covenant goes on —
                the union with the Servant and
                Handmaids and Apostles and members
                still operating and carrying out
                Fr. Carter's directions from Jesus
                and Fr. Carter prayed at every Mass
                for vocations to all 7 categories
                in the Shepherds of Christ.

                Fr. Carter took his relationship
                seriously to his death —
                The mission of the Shepherds of Christ so
                serious to carry it on and
                on, the 24 hour adoration —
                I see Betty and Sheila and Rosie and
                Jerry and Sophie all doing the
                adoration — 24 hours a day,
                7 days a week, praying constantly
                before the exposed Eucharist —
     

                R. Praying and giving, sending
                Fr. Joe's book now, out of China,
                to over 21,000 priests in the United States —
                Keeping on, keeping on — having
                been given this commission by
                God to send the Priestly Newsletter
                every other month to all the priests
                in the United States — we have circulated
                well more than 15,000,000 Priestly
                Newsletters in books and loose to
                hierarchy and all priests in
                the United States since July, 1994 about
                18 years of circulating these
                writings which Jesus commissioned
                Fr. Carter.

                    We see the Priestly Writing weekly
                in Fr. Joe's book as we have sent
                only 21,000 so far of Cycle B to
                the priests in the United States.

Sunday's Readings
 

                R. Here is the rest of that homily
                for Sunday the priests got for this
                year.

HOMILY – In Arthur Miller’s play, Death of a Salesman, the central character is Willy Loman, an aging salesman who has been forced to work only on commission. His meager income can’t pay the bills. Yet he refuses to face reality. He struggles to keep the illusion that he is highly successful and greatly loved by all his customers. Eventually he loses his job and decides to end his life, which he does. His son said of his father, “he never knew who he really was.”

    Who are we? Answering who we are is often best answered when we know what we are looking for in life? What do we want most out of life? I’ve just finished reading a wonderful book: The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton. Thomas Merton grew up pretty much without any relationship with God. He struggled to find happiness and peace in life but couldn’t seem to find it anywhere, not until he found his way into the Catholic Church and ultimately to the Trappist Monastery near Bardstown, Kentucky. He found himself, he found who he was, in finding God.

    I am reminded of a retreat I made about 30 years ago. It was a guided retreat where I met with the retreat master for an hour every day. The retreat master asked me to reflect on the question “What do you want most in life?” Being younger as I was, my answer to myself was immediate: I thought I would be happiest if I could have a beautiful, young, loving wife (maybe rich too!). Even as a priest I couldn’t help envying couples I would happen to see together, wishing I could have been the one holding hands with the loving wife. It seemed like the right answer to the question, “What do you want most in life?” But the question continued to reassert itself throughout the three days of retreat, continued to seek an answer as if it had not been answered at all. On the last day of retreat, I was praying in church. Looking deep into my soul, I discovered the real answer to that question, an answer that gave me the greatest peace, a peace that has held up in almost all the difficulties I’ve faced since then. The real answer to the question, “what do I want most in life?” was “to be and to do whatever God wanted of me.” I realized if I did that, my life would be a success. That peace was tested and demonstrated itself almost immediately. When I left the church, apparently there was a couples’ retreat going on at the retreat house, and lots of couples were walking around talking and holding hands. I felt very peaceful about it, watching them, happy for them and not feeling any envy at all, or wishing I were anything other than what I was. The natural yearning for love and companionship and intimacy didn’t disappear that day, but I experienced a new peace in dealing with it.

    What was Jesus doing in the desert? He didn’t need to do penance for any misdeeds. Perhaps he was asking himself the same questions: Who am I? What do I want in life? What does God, the Father, want of me? The next forty days invite us to our own time of retreat. Maybe we can’t get away for a few days, but maybe we can find some way to ask our self, what am I looking for in life? What are the temptations that keep me from knowing God better, knowing myself better? Jesus tells us: “The kingdom of God is at hand.” It’s right in front of us, if we only have eyes to see and ears to hear.

Psalm 116: 10, 15-19

Mark 9: 2-10

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, ‘Rabbi,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.

As they were coming down from the mountain he warned them to tell no one what they had seen, until after the Son of man had risen from the dead. They observed the warning faithfully, though among themselves they discussed what ‘rising from the dead’ could mean.

3rd Sunday of Lent

March 15, 2009

INTRODUCTION – (Exodus 20:1-17; 1 Cor. 1:22-25; John 2:13-25) Covenant is a theme that keeps recurring in our first reading these Sundays of Lent. The first Sunday of Lent we hear about God’s covenant with Noah. Last Sunday we heard about God’s covenant with Abraham and how Abraham’s trust in God was tested when he heard God tell him to sacrifice his son. Today, the third Sunday of Lent, we hear about God’s covenant with his people as they traveled under the leadership of Moses from slavery in Egypt to the Promised Land. God, for his part of the covenant, promised his people liberty, land, prosperity and his special care and love. Today’s first reading tells us what God expected of them in return.

HOMILY – I want to draw for you a mental picture of what Jerusalem looked like at the time of Jesus during the Passover celebration. At that time the activities at the Temple were the year’s major event: religiously, culturally and economically for all of Israel, especially for Jerusalem. Jews came to Jerusalem from all over the world at Passover. Josephus, the Jewish historian, may be exaggerating when he says over 250,000 Passover victims - oxen, sheep and doves - were sacrificed during Passover, but certainly the figure ran into many thousands. (Jerusalem in the Time of Jesus, Joachim Jeremias, pg. 57). The Law required that the animals for sacrifice be perfect. Since people came from distant places, which would have been burdensome to bring an animal with them, not to mention risking the possibility their animal would be rejected because it had some imperfection, it was expedient that the great majority of the animals be sold in Jerusalem. With only one place to buy what they needed, they would get no bargains. Are you beginning to get a picture of something like a county fair with people packed together coming and going, moving along with thousands of oxen and sheep, or carrying doves in little birdcages. The high priestly family may have been in on this business big time. Josephus described the High Priest Ananias as “the great procurer of money.” (ibidem, pg 49) On top of all this there were the moneychangers.

    The law required that people purchase their sacrifice with Jewish currency. Roman coins were considered idolatrous because they were engraved with pagan inscriptions and images. Since the Jews were under Roman occupation, they probably had to use Roman currency in their everyday lives. So when people came to Jerusalem and they wanted to buy an animal for sacrifice, they had to exchange their foreign money for Jewish currency. Thus we have the moneychangers. One wonders how much profiteering was happening as the exchange was made.

    Aside from any cheating or dishonesty, there were those who were getting quite wealthy in the name of God. Jesus told the Jewish leaders who challenged him for doing what he did: “you have made it (the Temple) a den of thieves.” We sometimes wonder why Jesus reacted so violently in this instance. We see him nowhere else in the Scriptures expressing such anger. Quite possibly he was angry at seeing how poor people coming to worship God were being ripped off. The gospels give us another reason too for his anger as they recalled the psalm verse: “Zeal for your house will consume me.” Obviously he placed worship of God much more highly than most people do. We all know how easy it is to become careless in our reverence and devotion to our Heavenly Father. Often God gets put in second place, or even further down in our list of priorities. It was not that way with Jesus. His Heavenly Father always took first place with him.

    We heard the Commandments in our first reading. Notice they are not suggestions or recommendations. They are spoken by one who speaks with authority. Notice that our obligations to God are placed at the top of the list. Is that because God is in need of our worship? No, it’s just putting things in perspective. If we value our relationship with God, everything else falls into place. When God is forgotten, then we have no anchor, no ground on which to base our morality, no one to whom we are accountable. We make up our own rules; we make ourselves into our own gods. That’s where Adam and Eve got into trouble; they wanted to make themselves equal to God and make their own rules. That is how they lost the happiness God initially gave them.

    The commandments and the cleansing of the Temple might prompt us today on this third Sunday of Lent to reflect on our own relationship with God. We call him Lord. Do our lives show that we believe what we say?

                R. We read that
                 We make our own rules —
                 We have a free will
 

4th Sunday of Lent

March 22, 2009

INTRODUCTION – (2 Chronicles 36:14-16, 19-23; Eph. 2:4-10; John 3:14-21) Last Sunday we heard about God’s covenant with his people as they traveled with Moses from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land. God promised his people many blessings and his special love and in return they were to keep his Law, especially the part of the Law we call “The Ten Commandments.” The Jewish historian who wrote the book of Chronicles gives us a summary of over seven centuries of infidelities on the part of God’s people to their covenant. The consequences of their infidelity led to untold disaster for the nation, but God would not let them be destroyed totally. Just to help you visualize this better, the Babylonians who practically destroyed them came out of modern day Iraq. The Persians who restored them to their land came out of Iran. Our psalm refrain is the lament of God’s people as they suffered captivity in Babylon. Next week we will hear Jeremiah promise that God would make a new covenant with his people since the old one was so poorly kept. We celebrate and renew God’s new covenant as always as we celebrate the Eucharist today.

5th Sunday of Lent

March 29, 2009

INTRODUCTION – (Jeremiah 31:31-35; Hebrews 5:7-9; John 12:20-33) The prophet Jeremiah lived 600 years before Christ. He was sent by God to mercifully warn God’s people that they were living on the edge of catastrophe. If they didn’t start following God’s ways the Babylonians would invade their land and destroy them. Centuries of wanton idolatry and social injustice had seriously demoralized and weakened God’s people. If they followed what God was telling them through Jeremiah they could avoid disaster. Of course, they ignored Jeremiah and punished him for his message. Today’s first reading comes shortly before the Babylonian invasion. God speaks, through Jeremiah, that he is gravely disappointed with the way God’s people continually violated the covenant they made with Godat Mt. Sinai, a covenant Moses solemnly sealed in blood centuries earlier. In spite of their unfaithfulness, God still loved his people and would make a new covenant with them. Six hundred years later, Jesus used these words “new covenant” when he gave the cup of his blood to his apostles at the Last Supper. We renew that covenant with him each time we come to Mass.

God Calls Us to Love

John 13:34

I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you.

Matthew 7:7

Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

Messenger: Dear Jesus, I stand at the door of Your Heart and knock to come in. I want entry - to be lost totally and entirely in Thee. I want to be sheltered inside of Your Heart and wrapped deeply in Your infinite love.

Jesus: I call you, child, to love. Love is rooted in Me. I gave My all for love of you. I held nothing back. Love gives freely for the good of the other. Love exists to draw the other closer to God. If your relationship with your brother in anyway separates you from God, it is not love.

    Love is not haughty, love does not demand its own way, love exists to lead the other to closer union with Me. I loved you to My death. I gave to you My all! I ask you to give your all for your beloved brothers. In loving them, you are loving Me. I live in your brothers. How can you love Me who you do not see, if you do not love your brother who you see.

    I am the way. I am the truth. I am the life. I give that you will know Me and know how to love one another. Love your brothers as I have loved you. When they persecute you and holler every evil word against you, love them. This is My way - to lay down My life for My friends.

John 13:34

I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you.

Messenger: And to those who heeded His words, their lives were lived in peace and love and they experienced joy in their hearts, for true love brings peace and true love gives joy to the heart of the beholder. It is in loving that you receive, it is in giving that you are rendered to and it is in following the way of Christ that we are led into a life of everlasting happiness.

Jesus: I have not gone. I live with you this day. I am in your brothers. Love them as I have loved you.

Messenger: And He sent them such blessings in such abundance and  they knew a little of His unending mercy and love.

I Feed the Hungry Soul

Jesus: Another person cannot feed your hungry soul. You search, you seek. Your starved soul craves only that which I can give. When your heart is searching for love, come, My sweet dear child, into My Heart. My Mother will take you to the deepest recesses of My Heart. There you will know such comfort - in My Heart on fire for love of you this day.

    You are a child of dignity. You are precious to Me. You are the creation of the Father. I gave the last drop of My blood for you. This is love - you need grace to realize the immenseness of God's love. You are so special to God, all three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Mary loves you so much.

    You can never be satisfied on this earth. If you find the dearest mother, father, lover, friend, they will not fill you with the love your soul craves. To find Me is to seek Me. You will not be satisfied on this earth.

    You, My child, experience longing for My intense love. I love you to want Me. This is how I long for love of each precious soul. I long for them with the most tender Heart, beating and breathing with fire. I never falter. I never grow dim. I am the same, with the same burning love. Come to Me and jump into My precious Heart. I love you so much.

You Are the Father’s Creation

Jesus: I come to you in one another. Let not your hearts be hard, let your hearts be as little children, tender and pure. They do not hold grudges, they love each other, they love themselves.

    You are the creation of My beloved Father. You were created with such dignity and love. I died for you. I gave My life that you would share My life. Oh, My child, pray to the Holy Spirit to open your eyes, to let you see where you are blind, to open your hearts to the ways of God. Pray to Him to sanctify you.

    You are called to be Christ to one another. Your hearts have turned hard. Your ways are not My ways. My way is always to love. My ways are to give. My ways are to see in your brother the creation of the Father, so beautiful, so uniquely created.

    Each child is a gift from God to this world. Each child is a gift of unique love, given by the Father. You were uniquely created. You are so loved. Pray to know your specialness to God. It is in realizing His love for you that you will love your brothers.

Messenger: We are all brothers in Christ. God is our Father. We are all one.

Jesus: Join, My little ones, in such love. It is in loving that you will be at peace. Love of each other creates joy in your hearts. Pray for the grace to know and love God more. It is in this knowledge and God's love that you will be My light that shines in the darkest night.

    I am the Way, I am the Truth. I am the Life! To live in Me you must come to know and love Me. Follow My ways. My ways are the ways of truth. My ways are not always the easy way, they are the ways of love.

    If you are to be joined in your hearts, you must love every man. Every man is your brother. You must put on Christ in all your ways. Would Christ act as you are acting?

    I love you so much. It is in meditating on My love for you that you will love your brothers.

    I put you on this earth to love one another. Pray to the Spirit to know My ways. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I truly come to bring you new life. It is in Me you will have the light of life. I love you so, the Father loves you so, the Spirit wants to live in your hearts and make you alive with the love of God. Pray to Mary to lead you through her loving heart into such love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    My child, come to My ever burning Heart. I do not love you one moment and forget you the next. I am forever burning brightly for you. I never falter. I am forever on fire for love of you. If you forget Me, I never ever forget you, I love you so much.

These Messages Need to Circulate

Jesus: My dear children, I tell you to listen to Me here. I am delivering messages for all to be read and distributed. Souls need to read these messages. Your Center will grow in love of Me when you circulate these messages. I ask. You have a free will. These are My letters of love to all. They are not being read. I deliver these messages to you to deliver to My faithful ones. Please, I beg you to circulate My messages. What more do I say to you!

    This world is moving further and further from Me. I control your every breath. Do you think you are independent of He Who keeps you alive, second by second?

    You do not know how truly frail you are? You do not control the air, the water, the sun, your food. You are dependent on Me for your existence, second by second.

    I am your Most loving Savior. I speak to you here. Please listen to Me. This is an urgent request. I love you so and love each hurting soul. All the Blue Books have different messages. They speak to all of you. They need to be published. I will provide the funds to see to this. Your delays are stopping the progress of so many returning to My most intimate love. I beg you, please answer My plea.
