R. We were created by God the Father!
Our Goal: Doing God's Will
Loving God and others
JESUS TAUGHT THIS
Jesus taught in His birth - Doing God's will
Jesus taught in His death - Doing God's will
Jesus taught this in His life! Doing God's will
You will change everyday
You do not remain
the same
Either you get closer to God or we go
further away from God,
but we will change every day.
We see that the Church, the world and the Individual
Christian are all in the state of becoming. The
individual is part of a bigger picture of becoming.

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward
J. Carter, S.J. - Chapter 3 - Becoming
Our
incorporation into the mystery of Christ at baptism initiates us
into a life that God intends to develop into full maturity. Our life
in Christ as guided by the Spirit is not a static given, a life that
is received in baptism and then simply clung to. It is not a life
that we are merely to avoid losing through serious sin. Rather, it
is our task to develop this life through a process of evolutionary
growth. God has truly placed us in a situation of becoming.
Our personal uniqueness is meant to gradually unfold into its full
stature in Christ as we increasingly fulfill God's will in deepening
faith, hope, and love.
R. It is God's plan for growth for all creation
Matthew 7: 21
It is not anyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," who will enter
the kingdom of Heaven, but the person who does the will of my Father
in heaven.
Sing: Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God
R.
Religious Orders take vows.
Poverty
Chastity
Obedience
Order not disorder
Eve did what she wanted
The devil wants us to do our own will and
rebel against God's will
Mary and Jesus were obedient to God's will.
Mary and Jesus perfectly conformed to the will of God
The devil wants unpredictability
We are to obey God's rules.
Follow God's laws
Follow Jesus, Follow His teaching!
We cannot do what we want, we are to obey God,
We are under God!!
The devil wants us to seek power for power sake!!
We are under somebody -
all are under God
1 Corinthians 15: 20-28
In fact, however, Christ has
been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who
have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so
through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just
as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to
life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the
first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to
him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over
the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every
principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be
king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and
the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for
he has put all things under his feet. But when it is
said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include
the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has
been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be
subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so
that God may be all in all.
R. A person can go through life saying to God
"Make me do it" like a stubborn teenager, a rebellious toddler
God made toddlers little so parents could handle them as they learn
Tell them to sit on a chair, not get ice cream when
they disobey, discipline is necessary to teach the little ones.
We have a free will If we can't force a two year old to obey
how can we force a 50 year old to obey
God wants love, He wants us to freely choose His will in obedience
Stubbornness to God is to our own detriment
From the
Priestly Newsletter Book III - 2000 Issue 3 pp. 44-47
-
Pope John Paul II
instructs us: "The Church, as a reconciled and reconciling
community, cannot forget that at the source of her gift and mission
of reconciliation is the initiative, full of compassionate love and
mercy, of that God who is love (see 1 John 4:8) and who out of love
created human beings (see Wisdom 11:23-26; Genesis 1:27: Psalms
8:4-8)
He created them so that they might live in friendship with
Him and in communion with one another.
"God is faithful to His eternal
plan even when man, under the impulse of the evil one (see Wisdom
2:24) and carried away by his own pride, abuses the freedom given to
him in order to love and generously seek what is good, and (instead)
refuses to obey his Lord and Father. God is faithful even when man,
instead of responding with love to Gods love, opposes Him and
treats Him like a rival, deluding himself and relying on his own
power, with the resulting break of relationship with the One who
created him. In spite of this transgression on mans part, God
remains faithful in love.
"It is certainly true that the
story of the Garden of Eden makes us think about the tragic
consequences of rejecting the Father, which becomes evident in mans
inner disorder and in the breakdown of harmony between man and
woman, brother and brother (see Genesis 3:12 ff; 4:1-16). Also
significant is the Gospel parable of the two brothers (the parable
of the prodigal son; see Luke 15:11-32) who, in different ways,
distance themselves from their father and cause a rift between them.
Refusal of Gods fatherly love and of His loving gifts is always at
the root of humanitys divisions.
"But we know that God
like the
father in the parable (of the prodigal son), does not close His
heart to any of His children. He waits for them, looks for them,
goes to meet them at the place where the refusal of communion
imprisons them in isolation and division. He calls them to gather
about His table in the joy of the feast of forgiveness and
reconciliation.
"This initiative on Gods part is
made concrete and manifest in the redemptive act of Christ, which
radiates through the world by means of the ministry of the Church."

If we want Success we must have a goal.
If we want Success we must have a positive attitude.

Mary's
Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996
Mary:
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.
end of Mary's Message
R. We can say to God (not God's will)
"I want what I want - as I want it"
"when I want it how I want it"
"my schedule"
"No one will tell Me what to do"
Our lives here are to prepare us for heaven
to live obedient to God's Plan
R. Not doing God's will on earth is
like going to take a test
and failing on purpose.
Not doing God's will is an F
We have a free will to choose God's will
to be obedient to God's will
Adam and Eve were a rival to God's will

The
The devil wants you to say its not your
fault when you sin
We are to be responsible to do God's will.
The devil wants a person who hurts themselves
and others to lie about the
error and fight they act like
they never did anything wrong
Our job here is to serve God
(1) Not get 'browny-points' to prove we are always right - this is untrue
(2) Trying to get just rules out by force so the new rules are rules the devil
wants in
i.e. Killing babies in the womb is okay
i.e. Getting a divorce without special
considerations as the Church says
The devil wants to get rid of rules
The devil wants to get rid of just laws
Religious orders have rules
Relativism (wrong)
"What is truth for you,
might not be truth for me." (wrong)
The fullness of life is
on the other side of
death's door
if we
are going to heaven
Choice free will do
God's will.
Have faith
Making the reality what God wants
Don't do unpredictable things, God doesn't want that hurt others
Be accountable for your
actions
Discipline your will
Discern the spirits
Doing what the Holy Spirit wants,
not what the evil spirit tempts you to do.
Successful actions to
building God's Kingdom
1) Doing God's will in love!!
2) Power within
Being so one with the
Trinity
Abundance of Christ's Life
in us ever increasing
Increase in faith, hope, love and
the other virtues
Not developing vices
seeking dominance and control
jealousies
anger
envy
We need time alone with God
We need to develop our relationship with God.
(1) interior life
(2) must have positive time
alone with God
The Body can heal itself
We have lots of brain cells,
but we can't abuse
ourselves on a regular
basis We are to take care
of ourselves.
Addictions a person can just do all kinds of
things to keep acting
in the addiction
They don't want to change
They can be enslaved to the addiction
People can be addicted to anger, misery, abuse, etc.
They can operate for affections because they don't see themselves as God sees
them
talking in destructive self-talk all day and
then waiting to blame their hatred and anger on anyone who
they think crosses them
Our brain records the
experiences we have had
Old experiences are stored in our brains
even what we experience on T.V.
We can let ourselves be run by our feelings
We can let ourselves be run by our addictions
We can lie to ourselves about the truth
about our lives,
how we have hurt others
and others have hurt us
and we are not perfect
and we need to tell the truth about situations
Be sorry before God for those we hurt
tell the truth to ourselves about our sins
Ask for forgiveness from God
Go to confession
See our life
We will stand before God and we will see our life before us
We are to recognize our parents and others aren't perfect no matter
how they think they were and love them, forgive them and move out
of old wounds praying for them
We want others to pray for us for our
spiritual life and mistakes we made
Admit addictive behavior
Unpredictability is not what God wants
when people aren't doing God's will and sinning
and then do things to get attention and control,
when they are bored, because they aren't doing God's will
So they can do unpredictable things
Come clean - do God's will - quit sinning don't block God's plan!!
We are at this place in Shepherds of Christ
At the top of the mountain
Satan wants people operating
for him,
to stop what
God is allowing us
to accomplish
Satan operates in one's own
house if he can
Satan wants to get authority to block
what God wants
Satan wants to establish the wrong laws
and put in corrupted laws opposed to God,
from willful men rebelling against God
God chooses us and gives us
a free will to obey
in our vocation
With Absalom, David's son
he wanted to take over
David's Kingship for his
own power
David didn't want to see
Jerusalem hurt
and what he
built in his life
he didn't want Jerusalem burned in 3 days
all he had done destroyed because of Absalom's greed!!
Absalom only knew his greed
his anger his seeking
dominance for dominance sake
He wanted it for his own vain glory
Absalom operated for the
devil
He was greedy
David was called by God
David was anointed by God
David was made King, anointed by Samuel, the prophet, for God.
The devil uses force and the fight,
he wants to fight
the just man
Jesus is meek and humble
of heart
The man wanting to move
for the devil
can use
passive-aggressive behavior
the devil has no bounds he wants souls for hell -
so he tempts a man to use passive-aggressive behavior many times.
In passive-aggressive behavior the devil tries to
works in the man in secret keeps things hidden
sly - so the devil temps the man to
'stab in the back' (not literally) with his betraying behavior.
Aggressive
behavior by the devil tempting
someone
and 'stab him in the front'
(betrayal, not literally stab the 'man'.)
Satan uses people as agents who give their
power to satan giving into the deadly sins.
Satan wants the cycle of abuse
to provoke,
attack and win
for satan
Rebelling and fighting God is foolish
Rebelling and fighting
the order, God's
authority, God's laws is foolish
God has all the power
Satan uses men so
they become
enslaved to him
St. Ignatius says from the Spiritual Exercises
"First they are to tempt
them to covet riches (as Satan himself is accustomed to do
in most cases) that they may the more easily attain the
empty honors of this world, and then come to overweening
pride.
The first step, then, will be
riches, the second honor, the third pride. From these three steps the evil one
leads to all other vices."
R. St. Ignatius says there are
2 Camps
Men can promote Jesus' Kingdom
or men can promote satan's kingdom.
Satan can press down on a man and the man can give in to satan,
develop vices and block
God's will
Then the person has more and more distorted vision from giving into vices
and as he becomes more satan's agent
his vision becomes even more distorted
Satan prowls this earth
looking for someone to devour
one can says
"I won't serve God" and can
selfishly and foolishly
use his free will
to serve satan
Like Adam and Eve
Cause and Effect
We must discipline our thoughts
put positive thoughts in our minds -
do not put negative thoughts in our minds.
We can give into violence
creating that reality in
in our lives
Or we can try to be like Jesus
The more one is angry inside and violent
the more they can have distorted vision.
From Blue Book 7
June 24, 1995
R. Every time Jesus is in the tabernacle in this
big chapel, I get
experiences and gifts.
I know His presence. I love
Jesus so much,
I love to go before the tabernacle in the big chapel.
It is as if my heart is burning up for
love of Him. I just feel such union to God.
I do not want to leave.
Through Him, with Him, in Him, I
remain united to Him through the heart of Mary.
A soul can operate from darkness and be unhappy.
The devil wants to rule dark hearts
A soul can be elevated to such heights,
being penetrated deeply from His grace and
act in the brightest light.
The way I feel this day is a great gift, given,
from Him, I am so one in this ecstatic
experience. I have been dry as the Feast
of the Sacred Heart approached. All the
days of dryness were in preparation
for this great grace.
Lord You take me from such heights and
plunge me into sufferings, my whole
being is sensitive to Your grace.
I live for moments when you touch me
deeply, I recount these memories and cry
from Your goodness and love. I am immersed
in You and Mary's heart, the heart of love,
pierced and wounded.
To have a mystical experience and then for it to
end is suffering sometimes, but the joy to be
forever more deeply one with you is indeed a great joy.
Our lives a mixture of sufferings and joy,
of rising to such heights when I am
penetrated by Your grace, when you take me
under the veil and that reality is
more real than anything I experience
here.
It is hard to have a mystical revelation and be
touched so deeply, then have it end or be dry as
I was the days before the Feast of the Sacred Heart.
But in these experiences He touches me permanently.
I know so much of what is really real, but
to know so much is to realize how little
I really know. God is the ultimate mystery.
This is so hard to explain, maybe Fr. Carter can
explain it better. It is ineffable. I am unable to
express here what I am experiencing, this
alone is frustrating because it is so real
to me and I want to tell the world with
shouts and jubilation. My soul sings with
the love of God, 'sing' is a weak word.
I am immersed in His deep love. I love
Him so much, I cannot express it in words
it is in my being.
After Mass Feast of the Sacred Heart
Greatest Mass ever, I just want to tell Him my
great love for Him. So deep within,
I just love Him so much.
I do not thank Him for the great gifts enough,
I do not praise and honor Him as I should,
I want to give so much to Him.
The Mass was the greatest ever, I experienced every
single word of the Mass so deep in my being.
I so deeply knew the presence of the Almighty
God.
Sing: His Presence Pervades My Soul
R. Here I am Lord, I hasten to go into this world and
declare Your works and Your love for all
men, to know You a little has
left me wasted, my whole being
declares Your goodness and to know
You is to go forth and share Your
love with all men.
I am Your servant, Lord, I give to You
my whole soul, my whole heart, my
whole being without reserve offered to
You Father united to Your precious Son
in the Mass. Look
favorably on me I love You so much..
June 25, 1995
Jesus: Oh death where is thy sting, though
you walk in the dark valley, I am
with you and by your side.
Fear not for I am your rear guard
and your fore guard, I am Jesus your
beloved Savior.
I lift you high and give to you the great
mysteries contained in My Heart.
I give you such insights into My life.
I am present, I am here, I am
with you, be not afraid for I harken
to help you and lead you on your way.
You are My chosen ones, I listen to
the voice of your supplication.
You feel that you have been
abandoned by Me. You have not been
abandoned, I am preparing a way for
you to spread My words to all.
Fear of others causing confusion and
doubt is useless. Surrender to the
plan as it unfolds before you. I am
Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock
attentive to all your needs.
I go before you and prepare the way. Harken
to Me and hear the sound of My voice.
I am Jesus your Savior attentive
to every detail. Satan will try to
divide, you work hard to ward him off.
Do the third Blue Book, all can profit
from these messages. I am Jesus
your beloved, be not fearful, I go
with you. I love you, Jesus.

The Pain - Naples, Florida
R.
He spread His arms, He gave His all, Jesus,
the Son of God, the greatest sacrifice, He gave Himself entirely for the
good of all men. He opened His arms, He died on the cross.
His arms were covered with blood, His arms so weak and filled with pain,
wounded. His arms, the pain shot up His arms and the final blow to each arm
a nail through each precious hand.
All the agony He experienced, all the pain, and the crown, to each arm, a
nail hammered into the hand.
All the nerves cut and severed by the nail, the pain shooting up His
precious arms, the final blow given to His most precious members.
The legs that carried Him, that carried the heavy cross, the legs that
were forced and cajoled, that continues to Calvary - the legs weakened,
skinned, bleeding, beaten, burned, the legs that knew patience and
perseverance, the legs connected to a sore foot that was rubbed and gashed
and bleeding, the members of Jesus, filled with such pain and exhaustion,
now is crowned with the final glory. The nail that was driven into the foot,
the pain shot up this already weakened leg, covered with blood and wounds
and pain, the final blow, the nerves severed by the hammered nail.
A blow to each hand, a blow to each foot, a blow to the head, a stamping
that pressed down and continued in excruciating pain.
Jesus: They numbered all My bones. They gave Me
vinegar and gall to drink. They gave Me a cloth to wipe My blood-covered
flesh.
What did they give to Me? Love is giving, My dear ones. How many of you
are wounded when you are not given things by your brothers you love?
My members were in such pain, the pain shot up My arms. My legs were so
weak I could scarce move them. I was filled with pain within them.
To all who watched, they saw a man, weakened and covered with blood and
wounds. They did not see the pain inside that shot up My legs and arms, the
nerves inside My body that sent signals of deep pain to My central nervous
system. They did not see the nerves inside sending pain signals everywhere.
The final blow being to each hand and foot, the severing of My nerves by
the blunt and rusted nails.
An arm extended. A final blow. I beheld a nail pounded into My hand and
the pain shot up My arms, unbearable to a human mind.
Do you know of the pain within My body? Signals sending messages of deep
pain everywhere. I knew all of these sufferings in the garden. So great were
the sufferings to My mind, I sweat blood.
My flesh was covered with wounds. My arms were stretched from their
sockets. My body was beaten and bleeding, every inch of My body covered with
deep wounds. But, My loved ones, you miss the depth of My love. My wounds
were so deep, but the final wound, the pounding of the nails in My hands and
feet, a severing of the nerves, an ending of the deepest pain, to experience
even deeper pain, beyond your human comprehension, it was done to the
Almighty God, a Divine Person, I suffered the final blow to each member.
The pounding in the hands and feet, the crown to each member, and they
numbered all My bones. My nerves a network of pain running throughout My
entire body.
The pain within the body, the pain recorded in My loving head, the pain
sent by a network of nerves in My body, now records the final blows, the
nails in the hands and feet, the pain being recorded from every thorn that
pierced My skull, every gash to My body, the pain, the pain, the pain - a
network of signals and pain, running through My body and the final hour, the
pains recorded on the cross, arms outstretched - a surrendering to all pain.
I surrendered to a body laden with pain.
You focus on your little problems, your little aches and pains. You
discuss them and show the world your pin pricks and sufferings.
Do you want to know holiness and love? They gave Me vinegar mixed with
gall. This was their offering. They gave Me a cross. They crowned My head
with a crown of thorns.
This, My dear ones, is suffering, My beloved souls, I gave My life for
and this is their return.
A severing of My nerves, the final blows to all the aches and pains
recorded in My nervous system. This was one of the final blows - the rusted
nails pounded into My hands.
You will feel little aches and pains in your hands and feet to remind you
of this message. Your understanding of the immense pain within will deepen.
What was visible to the eye on My battered body was nothing compared to the
pains within. I gave My all. I gave My insides, My mind, My Heart, wounded
for the love of men.
All functions in the body were stopped.
The final curtain, blood and water pouring out from My Heart, show that
all functions of the body had ended.
R.
All signals that carried messages of immense
pain had ended, the final act of surrender for God to die to this human body
and surrender His flesh.
Jesus: And end, a beginning, the water and blood
flowed from My Heart, the beginning of My life in the Church, life flowing
into your spirit.
R.
Come give me life, abundant life. I thirst to
be with Thee.
Jesus: My blood was spent. My human flesh and
blood offered as the sacrifice, the sacrifice of Calvary is now made present
at every Mass.
An end, a beginning, and the grace and life flow through the sacraments
in the Church. My life flows to you in the Mass. Mary, the Mediatrix of all
grace, stands by the side of the altar and the grace flows from the Father,
through My body offered up as a sacrifice in the Holy Spirit, given through
the Mothership of Mary to you in the Church.
You stand under the cross with My Mother and you receive the gift given,
My Body, My Blood.
R.
Man is reconciled with the Father through the
Divine Person, Jesus Christ, and you receive His life poured out to you as
Calvary is made present in the unbloody sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Do you feel the graces poured out to you at this sacrifice of the Son of
God at every Mass? Do you feel the presence of the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit and Mary, all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory? Do
you feel united as one at the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made
present upon the altar through the priest? The priest who now puts on Christ
and through Him the dispenser of this life given to man.
Jesus: Oh, My beloved ones, love so dearly your
priest. Give him such reverence. He is the chosen instrument of God and you
treat him with such ordinariness. You are so blind and so dumb in your ways.
And they numbered all My bones. Each nerve carrying a message of My love
of mankind, each member in My Church carrying a special message, all united
as one working in harmony according to the Father's will, each carrying a
message of love to one another.
The body is many members, you are the messengers of My love. Christ is
the head. The message does not flow as it should when some are cut off from
the Head.
They nailed My hands and feet and My nerves were severed by the nails,
such pain, undescribable in words, the severing of My nerves from the body,
the severing of many members from the body of Christ.
My Body given for all on the cross, the network of nerves within carrying
the messages of My love to all mankind. My body covered on the outside with
blood and wounded, the pain recorded within.
Your Church, covered with blood on the outside, the slaughter of innocent
babies, the homosexuality, the sins of the flesh, the members that have
severed themselves from the source by their sins, but the pain is carried in
the nerves inside. The blood of the Lamb shed for each and every soul, the
real pain carried within. The life is weakened in your Church because the
love of God is so weak in many members. The messages of love are not being
transmitted as they should be. Your body shows the wounds, but your pain
within is the root of the problems. The pain is from the messages of love
that are not being transmitted.
Unless you seek to fill your priests and sisters with the fire of God's
love, fill their hearts with burning love for God, your Church will continue
to show the marks of the blood shed without. I give to you these letters as
a mighty medicine for this world, directed to make men's hearts burn with
love of God and love of one another. The rosaries are meditations and
messages given from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
These messages will make men's hearts burn with fire for love of God.
You have ignored the importance of these letters.
I send to you the mighty medicine to heal a hurting world.
My priests and religious need these messages. The love of God will be
transmitted to the Church from these messages when you circulate these
letters.
The devil has blocked the minds of men involved in these messages because
of their importance to the world and the Church.
I am speaking to you Fr. Carter to help to get these messages published
and circulated as soon as possible. I give to you a mighty medicine for a
sick world.
Read St. Thomas Aquinas about the medicine for the sick Church.
You know what these messages have done for you. I am Jesus. I give to you
the mighty medicine for a sick world, for a sick Church, rosaries and
letters from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Your Church shows the wounds of bloodshed, abortion, homosexuality, sins
of the flesh, murder of little children's minds with sex education in
Catholic schools and you hold back the gifts of God's love I am giving to
the Church and this world.
My arms were weak and wounded but the final blow as the nail put in My
hand. It severed the nerves.
The final blow is the bloodshed in the Church, the slaughtering of
children's minds in Catholic schools. My children are pure and innocent.
They are not being taught messages of God's love, they are being taught
messages of sick sex and coldness.
Men's hearts have turned cold. They have been severed from the life of
the body. The body is decaying from within. Only with the love of God
enkindled in men's hearts will this bloodshed stop.
I beg you to publish and circulate these messages in the Church. I am
Jesus. I am giving you the mighty medicine for the world. Your body wears
the marks of the bloodshed, only with messages of My on-fire love will it
stop.
Mary leads you to Jesus. Never is she the end. The Father has a plan.
Mary's messages have led men and will lead men to Jesus. Satan has tried to
stop all efforts to publish and circulate these messages. I am the Almighty
God. The funds will come when you circulate and publish these messages and
rosaries under the Shepherds of Christ Publishing. I am working with Fr.
Carter and Rita as messenger to renew the Church and the world. Each
messenger has a very vital role in the Father's plan. The significance of
these messages are being overlooked. You are not studying the messages as a
whole and their content. There are five unpublished Blue Books and more than
four Rosary Books which I and My Mother have given to this world in the last
14 months. I have also given 15 songs of My love. I am begging you to see to
the recording and publishing of this music. I beg you to listen. This is the
mighty medicine for the Church and the world to draw men to the burning love
of Jesus. Please harken to My call. I will send you the money. You must
study and read these messages. This is a fulfillment of Fatima - these
messages were given to bring priests to the burning love of Jesus. I am
Jesus, your beloved Savior.

From Tell My People
The Holy Spirit
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to
the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people
must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit
desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are
docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs
this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My
Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit
leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your
transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the
more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell
them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am
Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the
gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My
people!"
Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever
more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus,
the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy
Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each
day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother,
the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of
the Holy Spirit within us.

The Theology of Consecration
A. Boussard gives an extremely fine
and concise sketch of the theology of consecration: "By the
Incarnation, in and of itself, the Humanity of Jesus is consecrated,
so that in becoming Man, Jesus is ipso facto constituted Savior.
Prophet, King, Priest, and Victim of the One Sacrifice that was to
save the world. He is the 'Anointed', par excellence, the 'Christ'
totally belonging to God, His Humanity being that of the Word and
indwelled by the Holy Spirit. When, by a free act of His human will,
He accepts what He is, doing what He was sent to do, He can say that
He consecrates 'Himself'. In Christ, therefore, what might be called
His 'subjective' consecration is a perfect response to the
'objective' consecration produced in His Humanity through the
Incarnation.
"And what Christ does brings with it
a 'consecration' for His disciples, a very special belonging to God,
since He imparts to them His own life precisely by making them
participate in His own consecration.
"Through Baptism Christians also are
consecrated and 'anointed' by the power of the Spirit. They share,
in their measure, in the essential consecration of Christ, in His
character of King, Priest, and Prophet (cf. 1 Pt 2:9; 2 Pt 1:3-4; Rv
5:9; etc.) With Christ and through Christ, they are 'ordered' to the
glory of God and the salvation of the world. They do not belong to
themselves. They belong to the Lord, who imparts His own life to
them....
"The vocation of those who have been
baptized is to 'live' this consecration by a voluntary adherence-and
one that is as perfect as possible-to what it has made of them.
Living as 'children of God', they fulfill subjectively their
objective consecration; like Jesus, they consecrate themselves. This
is the deeper meaning of vows and baptismal promises, together with
the actual way of life corresponding to them. The baptismal
consecration is the fundamental one, constitutive of the Christian.
All consecrations which come after it presuppose it and are rooted
in it...."19
19. A. Boussard in
Dictionary of Mary, Catholic Book Publishing Co., pp. 54-55.
R. The Father sent Jesus, think of that, God in the womb of
the Virgin Mary. God the Father gave His Son
to us. He chose Mary from the beginning.
After Jesus died on the cross, they took Jesus from the cross
and Mary held the body of Christ in her arms.
Jesus In Mary - in Mary's womb, in Mary's
arms, presented to the Father in
the temple in Mary's arms, the offering
is made as Mary holds Him in
her arms The Mass: the sacrifice of
Calvary sacramentally made present
Finding in temple 3 days Mary knows separation.
Mary stood beneath the cross
Mary held Jesus' body under the cross.
Burial in tomb - Separation - Mary knew Separation

Mother of Our
Christ-life
Mary is the Mother of our
Christ-life, this life which flows to us from the bosom of the
Father, through Christ, in the Holy Spirit. Pope John Paul II
beautifully links Marys spiritual motherhood toward us with her
being Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church, and Model of the
Church. Mary is present in the Church as the Mother of Christ, and
at the same time as the Mother whom Christ, in the mystery of the
Redemption, gave to humanity in the person of the Apostle John.
Thus, in her new motherhood in the Spirit, Mary embraces each and
every one in the Church, and embraces each and every one through the
Church. In this sense, Mary, Mother of the Church, is also the
Churchs model. Indeed, as Paul VI hopes and asks: the Church must
draw from the Virgin Mother of God the most authentic form of
perfect imitation of Christ.
