Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

 

Act of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

 

 

                R. Being in one mind and one heart in the
                Hearts of Jesus and Mary is being alive in our
                hearts in God. The Holy Spirit is working in our
                hearts counseling us, filling us with love
                on fire for God, so we operate out of love
                of God, so the Holy Spirit is molding us more and
                more in the image of Jesus and telling us God's
                will for us.

                    Consecration to the Two Hearts means we are
                one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the Holy Spirit
                is in the Heart of Mary, one with Jesus, filling
                us with love and knowing the will of God and
                being what God created us to be more and more
                in His image and likeness.

                    Our whole life is lived in communicating
                and loving God and others as ourselves – striving
                to do God's will in love – striving to put
                on Christ – to be molded more and more in the
                image of Jesus –

                    Just as the heart is the life of the body, it
                must beat for us to have life –

                    We can't be like the world – our heart and
                soul one in intimacy with God brings us
                on the spiritual road of walking with the
                Holy Spirit – being formed in the image and likeness
                of God – knowing God's will and loving on
                fire for God and others – Being consumed in
                the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to love –

                    This takes knowing God. We are developing
                in the capacity God gave us in baptism to
                know and love in an elevated capacity to
                know and love – in our life – in God.
                We share in God's knowing activity
                and God's loving activity. These are gifts
                given in baptism for us to develop.

                    In communicating to God – we ask and
                we receive as God's answers our prayers

                    We want God's will – We depend on God –
                God is to us our Heavenly Father we love –
                Jesus, our beloved Spouse, the Holy Spirit that
                counsels and teaches us and molds us
                in the flames of love and sanctity more
                and more in the image of God.

                    So we live a life of communicating
                with God – of knowing God more and
                more, of loving God more and more –
                We are interior people – living in
                our hearts deeply in love with God
                and be other people – seeing God in
                others.

                    The devil wants people – shut down
                inside – working from the outside –

                    The man of sanctity is one with
                God – His strength comes from his
                interior union with God – the grace
                he is receiving in the sacraments,
                greater life in God, his ability to
                trust and love and know God more and more –

                    He is a work in progress – a
                beautiful gem – the beauty of a man
                living in God – the reflection of
                the Trinity – He is one in God –
                And men as they give their hearts
                to Jesus and Mary are one in God and
                thus one with each other –

                    The Holy Spirit works in their hearts,
                pumping love into their relationships
                in Church – love into their relationships
                in families and communities, in parishes,
                in schools –

                There is love –

                It is the love we see – the reflection
                    of the Trinity –

                Men acting out old wounds of the past,
                    hurting their brothers, full of pain
                    and not even in their hearts are
                    tearing down what God is trying
                    to build in men consecrating
                    their hearts, their lives, their
                    businesses, their parishes, their
                    schools, religious communities,
                    places of worship and prayer to the
                    Hearts of Jesus and Mary –

                The devil is hate –

                The evil spirit tears down –
                    works in the deadly sins
                    of anger, jealousy, envy,
                    slothfulness, pride, gluttony,
                    lust –

                The Holy Spirit – unites, is full of
                    love on fire – is unity –
                    is energy – a fire breathing
                    life into the world –
                    God is light and in Him there is
                    no darkness –

                DYSFUNCTION

                    Feelings can't hurt you –
                    Let feelings come up
                    Be in touch with heart
                    Layers of an onion

                If we want to change how
                    we feel
                    we have to change what
                        we tell ourselves
 

                    Self-talk comes from
                                – senses or
                                – thoughts

                    TRIGGER

                A person can react by anybody
                    giving a simple direction –
                    destructive tapes from the past

                they have decided – NOBODY TELLS
                                THEM WHAT TO DO AND
                                THEY AGREE WILLINGLY
                   


 

                LACK of TRUST of ANYBODY

                    They have a reaction –
                        lots of thoughts how to survive
                        and tactics
                        before they do anything

                Let Go of Negative Behavior Patterns

                    Name it
                    Claim it
                    Dump it

                Slow down to hear their own
                    negative tapes

                Correction that is needed is a good thing.

                Fighting all correction keeps you stuck
                    in a bucket

                Correction is not condemning
                    someone to the core –

                Correction given by God and
                    spiritual guides is to
                    make things better

                Some people are TRIGGERED with
                    (1) Correction
                    (2) Direction
                    (3) Authority
                    (4) Being in social gatherings
                    (5) Eating with others
                    (6) Someone being before others
                        giving directions

                Survival tactics – ANGER, FEAR
                    (1) Start your diversion
                    (2) Stop what is going on
                    (3) Flee

                Positive Thoughts

                    I am safe here
                    I am secure
                    I can trust this leader
                    I want peace - happiness –
                        I don't start a diversion –
                        a fire –
                        stir the pot
                    I am one with the program –
                    I don't seek division - negative attention
                    I don't seek power under
                        authority and oppose
                        God's will

                    This makes me unhappy –

                    This hurts everybody –

                Stuffed Feelings
                    Anger                       Loving
                    Division                    Feeling
                    Isolation                    caring

                Are you Social –

                (1) Do you share yourself and
                    can sit comfortable
                    in a group?

                    Or does a group - threaten
                        your security - safety
                        so you
                        tear it down

                (2) Can you be comfortable
                    being at table eating
                    with people?

                (3) Can you be comfortable
                    being in a group
                    praying, playing with
                    people?

                (4) What Survival Tactics
                    from places unsafe
                    and not secure do you
                    have from childhood?

                (5) Parents taught us about
                    (a) relationships – men and women
                    (b) solving problems
                    (c) communication
                    (d) love
                    (e) trust
                    (f) working in unity

                How was our love in the home
                    – with mom and dad
                    – with brothers and sisters

                Feelings – Survival tactics
                    I need to control everything
                        or things can happen –
                        feelings I could blow up cry –
                        "Crazy rules" in the head –

                Dad could have looked mad most
                    of the time –
                    not give any attention

                TRIGGER – angry man
                                – angry authority figure
                                – any authority figure

                Do whatever you have to to
                    escape it – do something else –
                    Start something opposed

                What is driving your engine?

                    Survival of people who
                        aren't even doing
                        anything, but
                        living life –

                Do you only relate to people
                    that can't do the job
                    so you can control?

                Are you looking for a
                    new mother or father or
                    authority figure –
                    you expect to fix your
                        old lack of the mother
                        or dad you should
                        have had –

                Twisted Reasoning – Survival Tactics

                    Do you create problems to
                        keep division –
                        so you can run things?

                    How is your Self-Esteem?
                    How is your body language?
                    How is your shame?
                    How is your guilt?
                    How is your suppressed anger?
                    How is your addictions?
                    How is your fear?
                    Do you trust others you need
                        to learn to trust?
                    Do you love others?

                Is your life lived to fix
                    your garbage and
                    you haven't started yet
                    because you keep using
                    survival tactics of
                    the past on innocent others?

                Jesus: You are responsible for your
                    actions and how you
                    treat others –
                    I command you to love.
                    Do you push others over you
                    down so you can be on top –
                    I am a God of justice –
                    Loving is the first order.
                    Sins are sins –
                    A man can be afraid because
                        of his past of authority,
                        women and if a woman
                        is over them they do
                        everything to control
                        the situation rather than
                        learn to deal with their
                        dysfunction and do
                        the work that needs to be done.

                You must pray for healing of
                    the wounds of your home
                    origin
                    and not treat others in anger
                    and unloving ways because
                    you are wounded.

                Confession is good for the
                    heart and soul – lying
                    about yourself is
                    keeping you in sin.

                Work out your relationships
                    in love wherever you go.

                Work for understanding and love
                    and justice and unity –

                Roller coasters, unpredictability
                    is not My way of love –
                    I give you My Covenant
                    with you.

                If you do what parents,
                    caretakers did in your
                    home without changing –
                    you will do what parents
                    and caretakers did if
                    they were dysfunctional.

                Listen to your self-talk and
                    quit blaming innocent
                    others for your angry
                    ways you talk to yourself.

                TRUST others
                Be honest
                Be loving
                Communicate clearly and with love –
                Have humor
                Give respect
                Be consistent

                Be agreeable if you are
                    needed to give an honest
                    opinion – not combatal –
                    rebellious – divided

                Be supportive when it is
                    your role

                How is your wall against
                    living life as the Father
                    wills you to live and
                    love

                Your Wall – Is A Wall

Hebrews 5: 1-10

Every high priest is taken from among human beings and is appointed to act on their behalf in relationships with God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins; he can sympathise with those who are ignorant or who have gone astray, because he too is subject to the limitations of weakness. That is why he has to make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people. No one takes this honour on himself; it needs a call from God, as in Aaron’s case. And so it was not Christ who gave himself the glory of becoming high priest, but the one who said to him: You are my Son, today I have fathered you, and in another text: You are a priest for ever, of the order of Melchizedek. During his life on earth, he offered up prayer and entreaty, with loud cries and with tears, to the one who had the power to save him from death, and, winning a hearing by his reverence, he learnt obedience, Son though he was, through his sufferings; when he had been perfected, he became for all who obey him the source of eternal salvation and was acclaimed by God with the title of high priest of the order of Melchizedek.  

 

                R. And Mary is the Immaculate Heart

                    She crushed the head of satan –
                    Mary is humble not proud –
                    Mary is Mother at Our Side –
                    Mary is the pure and spotless one.
     

1 Timothy 2: 1-8

I urge then, first of all that petitions, prayers, intercessions and thanksgiving should be offered for everyone, for kings and others in authority, so that we may be able to live peaceful and quiet lives with all devotion and propriety. To do this is right, and acceptable to God our Saviour: he wants everyone to be saved and reach full knowledge of the truth. For there is only one God, and there is only one mediator between God and humanity, himself a human being, Christ Jesus, who offered himself as a ransom for all. This was the witness given at the appointed time, of which I was appointed herald and apostle and-I am telling the truth and no lie-a teacher of the gentiles in faith and truth.

    In every place, then, I want the men to lift their hands up reverently in prayer, with no anger or argument.

 

                R. If you seek you will find.

Matthew 7: 7-11

Effective prayer

‘Ask, and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. Everyone who asks receives; everyone who searches finds; everyone who knocks will have the door opened. Is there anyone among you who would hand his son a stone when he asked for bread? Or would hand him a snake when he asked for a fish? If you, then, evil as you are, know how to give your children what is good, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

 

                R. Men are to be strong, fathers
                and grandfather to be close –
                to Jesus. Jesus came as a Man.
                Jesus shows us how He loved
                His Father, how He lived as
                the Father wanted. Men could
                really bring strength to the –
                family. Children should know
                about God the Father from
                the example of their fathers,
                the grandfathers.

                    God asks us how we have
                witnessed to people we are
                called to work with. God gives
                us families to be a basic unit
                of strength.

                    We know that God gives us
                only so many days to spread
                the Good News and we are to
                hope to be united to the souls in
                heaven some day –
                We are hope for eternal
                happiness in heaven someday.
    

Romans 6: 2-4, 12-14

Out of the question! We have died to sin; how could we go on living in it? You cannot have forgotten that all of us, when we were baptised into Christ Jesus, were baptised into his death. So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too should begin living a new life.

That is why you must not allow sin to reign over your mortal bodies and make you obey their desires; or give any parts of your bodies over to sin to be used as instruments of evil. Instead, give yourselves to God, as people brought to life from the dead, and give every part of your bodies to God to be instruments of uprightness; and then sin will no longer have any power over you—you are living not under law, but under grace.

   

                R. How many men shed their
                blood to help the Church to grow?
                Our own personal holiness is
                so important to our prayer life.
                Prayer is a big part of our lives, to give
                our lives in love for others we
                pray – to be a conduit
                as we pray to God for grace and help.

                    We have such a gift to pray
                through the powerful intercession of the
                angels and saints,
                to love the saints so much.
                We pray through the powerful intercession
                of the angels and saints and souls in purgatory.

                What about the souls in purgatory,
                do we pray for our fathers and
                grandfathers, mothers, grandmothers,
                who have died.

                    We know unity, uniting with the
                angels and saints and
                praying through their powerful intercession,
                souls in purgatory.
                We want to live our lives to be witnesses
                of this truth.

                R. When Mary appeared to me
                I saw her praying with all the
                people. I knew from seeing
                Mary how she really prays
                with us.

                    There are struggles in the Church,
                with cardinals and bishops and
                priests, in parishes, in schools –
                God has called us in the Shepherds of Christ
                to pray for the priests, the Church
                and the world. We belong to
                the Church, as members of
                the Mystical body of Christ
                we must pray for the Church.
   

John 10: 11-15

I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd lays down his life
   for his sheep.
The hired man,
   since he is not the shepherd
and the sheep do not belong to him,
abandons the sheep
as soon as he sees a wolf coming,
   and runs away,
and then the wolf attacks
   and scatters the sheep;
he runs away
   because he is only a hired man
and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd;
I know my own
and my own know me,
just as the Father knows me
and I know the Father;
and I lay down my life for my sheep.

 


 

                R. The priests, bishops, cardinals
                are to be witnesses to the rest
                of the world – we must pray for their
                holiness, they live their faith deeply
                and have a deep intimate relationship
                with Jesus.

                    We need unity – not selfish focus,
                not selfish division.

                    In praying the prayers Jesus
                gave Fr. Carter – Jesus makes
                strong promises.

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

   

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

My dear fellow Associate Members,

Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:

    My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.

    These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.

    I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.

    I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.

    I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

    This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:

    1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
    2. For the Pope.
    3. For all bishops of the world.
    4. For all priests.
    5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
    6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
    7. For all members of the Catholic Church.
    8. For all members of the human family.
    9. For all souls in purgatory.

    "I wish to share with you part of a message which Jesus gave us on October 13, 1994. The message tells us about the expansion of the Shepherds of Christ movement:

    'My beloved priest-companion, today I come to you with another mission. I am asking you to establish Shepherds of Christ Ministries. At My request you have already begun the priestly newsletter, "Shepherds of Christ", and the prayer chapters, Shepherds of Christ Associates...

    'I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. When this occurs, My Church and the world will be experiencing the great era of peace promised by My Mother at Fatima.

    'Today, then, October 13, 1994, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.'

    "Jesus has told us that Shepherds of Christ Ministries includes: the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters, various publications, including books, whatever else Our Lord directs us to undertake.

    "As members of Shepherds of Christ Associates, you are an extremely important part of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. You have given great joy to the Heart of Jesus by responding to His invitation to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. As He draws you closer to His Heart and to His Mother's Heart as Associates members, He will fill you with an ever-increasing experience of His love, peace, and joy."

- From In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Newsletter of Shepherds of Christ Associates
by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J., Volume 1, No. 1, 1995. p. 2.

     

                R. Marriages and families are so
                important to the Church and the world.

                    We need to pray for the Church and
                the world because Jesus told us
                to pray for them.

                    We see the family; how God
                created brothers and sisters. We
                should see this love as brothers
                and sisters in God's family.
                God tells us we must see each
                other as brothers and love
                our brothers. Sisters and Brothers
                in the family with Mom and Dad as
                the parents should be in
                unity and love.

                    Mary says, the family that
                prays together stays together.
                God has called us to know this
                unity in our family and to
                see this unity in the Father's
                family – We are to be loving,
                we are to be able to share in
                love with each other. Great
                grace is given when we receive
                the sacraments – Jesus wants us
                to go to Mass, to do adoration,
                to go to penance –
   

Psalm 19: 2-5

day discourses of it to day, 
night to night hands on the knowledge. 

No utterance at all, no speech, 
not a sound to be heard, 
but from the entire earth the design stands out, 
this message reaches the whole world. 

High above, he pitched a tent for the sun, 
who comes forth from his pavilion like a bridegroom, 
delights like a champion in the course to be run.

 

                R. Christ gives us the sacraments.
                We receive great grace and this
                helps fight satan. God commands we
                love Him with our whole hearts,
                our whole soul, our whole
                being. We are to love our neighbor
                as a brother to us. We are to
                see Jesus in our brothers.
                We are to see the heavenly eternal
                family. We know the unity
                of heaven –

                    We know communication is
                absolutely essential. Satan
                tries to block communication.
                Satan wants people to not
                communicate to be prideful,
                jealous, envious.

                    We need to be Christ-like to the
                world. Many people of this world
                are suffering so much. Many
                are being persecuted without
                any peaceful dialogue, many
                are living in fear of terror and
                are freezing because they have
                no heat.

 

Matthew 5: 9

Blessed are the peacemakers:
they shall be recognised
   as children of God.

 

                R. We can be so selfish and
                God is blessing us so very much.
                There is so much violence, now,
                in this world. We need to pray for
                the priests and the hierarchy and
                the pope that bring us the Mass –

                    Pray there is unity more than ever
                in Churches. As people suffer
                so much – they should become
                more holy.

                    There are so many oppressed
                in this world, that are
                suffering so much –

                    We need to give to others –
                to give in prayer, to give
                in love – to be as Jesus
                wants us to be. We need to
                support what Jesus has
                asked us to do.

 

1 John 1: 5; 2: 2

This is what we have heard from him 
and are declaring to you: 
God is light, 
    and there is no darkness in him at all.

He is the sacrifice to expiate our sins,
and not only ours,
but also those of the whole world.

 

                R. We pray for hope so men can
                get better from damaged
                childhood – Hoping in eternal happiness
                for ourselves and others – We suffer and
                we pray to deal with childhood pain in recovery –
                pray to deal with it in the right way
                according to God's will so it will bring
                us to greater life. Acting out pain in others
                in relationships brings more pain and more pain
                in the world.

                    Some children have a wonderful
                loving childhood, some are like
                in prison learning survival tactics
                to survive the trauma.

                A child is created by God in God's image.

                    Children can be a victim and have
                a very dysfunctional childhood – even
                though it was awful – it was what
                some children grew up in. They can be still
                so full of pain – acting out pain on others.

                    Recovery is needed, to recover from
                the pain and anger they have inside, to recover
                from survival tactics they learned, from
                bad example and forced to live in
                a dysfunctional home. It wasn't
                a child's fault if they had a horrible
                childhood.

                    People who had trauma in
                childhood need to recover, not
                blame others, for their dysfunction –
                but work through bad patterned
                behavior and quit being angry and hurting
                others from their painful childhood.

                    We, as human beings, have
                tendencies of the wounded human
                nature. God created us in His image and
                likeness. We are to be molded more
                and more in the image of God –
                to advance in the spiritual life.

                    What must happen to recover is
                to come out of denial and admit
                what happened and to grieve for
                their lost childhood not having
                happiness and love as they should,
                the wounded person
                must come out of DENIAL –

                (DENIAL) They must face reality,
                how it really was –

                Some children were abused –
                    and other dysfunctions, but
                    they were swore to secrecy and
                    never permitted to let the world know
                    how bad it really was –

                So they can develop delusions –
                Live inside in a fantasy world of make believe –
                They learn to not admit the
                    truth –

                They cannot trust the unpredictable
                    behavior of their parents or
                    caregivers so they learn to
                    not trust and relate in meaningful
                    relationships.

                A person does not heal from wounds they
                    won't admit they have –

                Some people who are wounded have
                    memory repression -

                It can be like shell shock as a man
                    who was at war –

                But where people should have been
                    given love and taught to love
                    and be loved –
                    they were wounded deeply and
                    can be 50 years old never
                    trusting or loving anyone, but
                    projecting abuse and pain on
                    others – trying to work out the
                    deep pain they have inside –

                Trauma victims feel shamed about everything –

                There can be children that had trauma
                    that need repair –
                    parents were not there for them or
                        mistreated them –
                    so they need attention, they crave attention –
                        they hurt inside and it doesn't go away
                        on its own. They are dark inside.
                    They need a bridge to learn to see
                        how God loves them, how
                        they love themselves and
                        others love them and they are
                        precious to God.

                Song: A Song from Jesus

                R. Traumatized in Love

                Some people passively - attack others to
                    store their pain and shame
                    in others through force and abuse

                The Cycle keeps repeating

                    They don't trust or love anybody –
                        They can use the abuse cycle on others –

                They are full of pain and

                    So they drive themselves further and
                        further from God –
                        which makes them
                        angrier and angrier –

                Being close to God brings happiness. God made us
                    to love and be loved.

                A person hurting others doesn't feel
                    good inside – it is rebelling
                    against God's commandment
                    of love –
 


 

                R. They can think if they feel bad
                    about themselves it is true –
                    so they act in such a way – they
                    can play games to hurt others and
                    drive them away –

                They can be jealous and angry of others, envious
                    wanting to bring them down to their darkness.

                They can be where they don't
                    let anybody in.

  Can send
them to
abuse others
Smells

Love being given

Confidence of the person they abuse

                Trauma from past can be triggered by something
                    and the person goes into a brown out –

                They may have learned to
                    DISSOCIATE from feelings

                So they passively attack others through force
                    to stick their pain and anger
                    in another –

                A person so wounded does not feel
                    good and wants somebody to
                    normalize them –

                They are not structured or consistent

                They misuse power – they can do
                    anything to keep power over others –
                    so they can act out pain and abuse that
                    is filling them.

                It's like a constant war for them –

                Post - Stress - Syndrome – because
                    they are in denial
                    they take out their anger on others

                They need BALANCE

                Some can have serious survival skills.

                They can lose big blocks of time.

                They can listen to a voice in their
                    head that ruins relationships and is
                    not reality.

                Some people were so abused –
                    they check-out – the pain – it
                    hurts so much.

                They need God.

                A person like this can have
                    excessive fantasies so they do
                    not notice pain.

                They use

                ADDICTIONS  –  to anger
                                            to power to handle
                                            their lives

                Instead of living life from
                    inside their body – with a deep
                    meaningful relationship with God
                    they live it from outside
                    their body then
                    they don't feel the pain inside.

                When pain comes up and it does when they
                    are alone, they think of ways to act
                    it out on others. They do not like to
                    be in social gatherings in peace –
                    they can cause things to break it up.

                Laughing at persons misfortune
                    is a survival skill –
                    Stuffed feelings

                CHILDREN ACT OUT what
                    is not being addressed

                CHILDREN DON'T GET
                    DYSFUNCTION
                    ALCOHOLISM
                    etc.

                They learned survival tactics for their
                    lives and stuffed their natural feelings.

                They have problems until they face the truth
                    about their lives – they cause problems
                    with others – they are filled
                    with pain and anger.

                Like - Shell - Shock

                You can change

                    Be positive
                    Smile at Others
                    Love Other
                    You can smile
                    You can be pleasant

                Fear is a feeling
                Fear is like an OLD FRIEND

 

 
 

 

                R. The Blue Books help men learn how
                    much God loves them –
                    The Blue Books and the prayers
                    God gave us can help people
                    that are wounded to know
                    the truth.

                R. The Holy Spirit Novena can be prayed
                    two times a day for special
                    healing and asking the Holy Spirit to
                    help them –

                Pain inside a person – doesn't go away –

                They need to crowd out the pain with
                    love of God and others and
                    learn to receive love from God
                    and others.

                They need healing in their heart –

                They need to be able to love others –
                    repair the heart inside

                The Consecration of the Two Hearts helps
                    them to be on the way to
                    knowing God's love and giving
                    themselves in loving surrender to God.

                Pride keeps them stuck –

                Acting out hatred and pain on others
                    and denying it drives them
                    further from intimacy
                    with God –

                Intimacy with God is where
                    happiness is –

                God created us to be deeply one
                    with Him and others –

                This takes giving ourselves to God
                    in loving surrender –

                This takes turning your will and
                    your life to God and His care –

                This takes praying to the Holy Spirit and
                    praying for an increase
                    of
                    faith, hope and love –

                This takes realizing we are
                    as a little child –

                God is our Father

                Mary is our Mother and
                    we must be sorry for our
                    sins of our past life –

                Sorrow for offending God
                    and others
