                R. The Invisible String –

                    This was a book Fr. Joe used at
                Church one Christmas to show how
                we are united in love with one
                another even when we are not
                physically in a close location.
                Love in the hearts –

                It is a mystery isn't it – A man
                can be at war as in World War II in
                Europe and his family in the United States
                and he is so one with his new born child,
                his children, his wife. The invisible
                string.

                    What happens when somebody dies, we love
                very much and we feel they were holy and
                went to heaven. My mom died when I was
                five and she was very holy – she went to
                Mass every day – that is how my dad first
                met her – he was serving at Mass –
                So when she died, at five years old, I knew
                she was going to heaven very soon some
                day – her body was filled with cancer –
                she was throwing up and then she died,
                but I was taught at an early age that
                she lived in heaven – the body died, but
                mom still lived.

                    My dad had a nervous breakdown after
                she died, we had five children and he
                didn't feel good at all – he wanted to
                stay by himself and he was recuperating from
                her death, my step-mom came to help him
                type and I would hide under the table in
                his office in our home and ask her if
                she would be my mom.

                    So on February 11th they were married and
                Rosella, my step-mom, went to Mass everyday
                too and we began saying prayers every
                night and never missed. We prayed the rosary,
                and the Holy Spirit Novena and a Novena to
                St. Joseph. My brother's name is Joseph and
                my parents must have had great devotion
                to St. Joseph.

                    We always had a calendar in our
                house at the Carson house with the Sacred Heart on it.
                When Fr. Carter asked me if I always had great
                devotion to the Sacred Heart, I just told him, I just
                loved Jesus, always, and He always had a big
                burning Heart on His pictures and statues.
                Jesus to me was the Sacred Heart and I adored Him
                as the Sacred Heart.

                    We would pray the rosary, every day, and
                I liked little picture books. Some times in
                these nightly prayers in the summer we
                went outside under the stars. That was
                sort of mystical to me. I loved that out there
                except if mosquitoes were biting, so we
                covered our arms and legs with a blanket
                or paper.

                    Prayer was a very important part of
                our family. We never, ever, missed these evening
                prayers. If people came they may try to avoid
                the prayer time so they didn't get stuck,
                because my dad never missed the prayers
                for nobody or for any day.

                    When I was 7 I made my first communion
                and my dad was too nervous and my real
                mom died, so my step-mom went. Everybody
                else had their parents it seemed to me, but
                I was so very happy to receive Jesus. I
                remember as a child, when I received Jesus
                I loved putting my hands over my face
                afterwards and just being in that light
                with Jesus, it gave me such comfort and
                it later, when I recall looked like those
                mystical places of light, golden reddish
                light I had when Jesus gave me mystical
                experiences at Immaculata at different
                times.

                    I felt the presence of God back then when
                I received the Eucharist and went to Church
                for a visit – I knew Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
                always.

                    My love affair with Jesus, was real.
                Mom died, but I knew Jesus and knew
                mom was with God.

                    From this gift of losing my mom, I
                knew the glory of what I felt was
                my Saint Alice.

                I wrote a paper of this later in school. I don't
                know where it ended up. My dad always had
                us going to Benediction and Mass everyday
                and making visits in church every time
                we walked up the street to get something
                at the store. I bowed at the Church if
                we drove by.

                    My brother was in the seminary by the
                time I was in the 4th grade so we went
                to Mount St. Mary's seminary and they did
                vespers – the whole chapel was full of
                seminarians and the male voices put
                me to sleep. It went on for hours. I remember
                my dad nudging me at the seminary to wake
                up and the pews were the same place where
                Mary appeared to me at the Lady of the Holy Spirit
                Center in 1994. The seminary closed around
                1981, Fr. Mike was in the last class in
                1981, then around 1993, 1994 it became
                Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.

                    I met Fr. Carter and he kept telling me, if
                I wanted him to be my spiritual director – he
                wanted to. I asked him after a priest
                and a nun both told me Fr. Carter should be my
                spiritual director.

                    When Jesus showed me His Heart on fire
                December 17, 1991, it was so warm and such
                an experience I wrote it in my notebook
                and talked to a lady that day.

                    Another lady from a prayer group told
                me, Rita, Jesus doesn't show His Sacred Heart
                like that to many people – that is such a gift.
                Here is what I wrote the day Jesus showed
                me His Heart –

 

December 17, 1991

R. On December 17, 1991, I saw a vision of Jesus' Heart on fire after communion. He said – I didn't know how this Heart would lead people to His Sacred Heart.

His Burning Heart

R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.

    I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these lettersto draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:

"Open your heart to the fire of God's love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love."

                This vision is pictured on the front of God's Blue Book II.

On December 17, 1991, I received the Sacred Heart vision on the right side of the church at the far end of the 1st pew after Communion.

                end of excerpt

 

                R. I didn't know what seeing that Heart would
                mean in spreading this devotion to His Sacred Heart.
                In the late 70's I would pray a lot before
                the Blue Book Jesus' Sacred Heart – I continued this
                and I would see Jesus and see light and
                things as I prayed before Him. When I
                had hard times in my life I carried His
                picture on me, I had it also taped in the
                kitchen closet so I could open it and
                see Him and focus on Him.

                    I remember in 1978 I received a vision
                of a door and it filled up with light, one
                night when I was praying, slowly it
                filled with light, this door and I heard a voice,
                walk in the light – walk in the way of the
                light and I saw a shoe there and really
                realized how our feet take us in that
                way of light.

                    That time was when I got actually 3
                songs. "Why Do We Hurt the Ones We Love"
                "Live This Day" and another song I have
                at home. I did not get another Song until
                October 7, 1994 when I received the Song from Jesus
                in 5 minutes.

 

                R. Fr. Carter went in the Jesuits on my
                birthday August 8, 1951. I was 5 years old
                that birthday. When Fr. Carter and I began
                working every day together and Mary
                appeared to me I was 48. He said
                Mass the day after my 48th Birthday
                August 9, 1994 at the Faber House. From
                then on I began going to his Masses
                more frequently which led to the Mass
                Book at the end of 1995 and Blue Book 9.

                    The connection we wish to express
                is a mystical connection. How deeply
                we can be united in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
                to the Mass and the angels and saints
                and the whole world and grace
                can flow on the priests, the Church and
                the world.

  

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

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

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

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

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

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

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

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995


                R. I remember December 15, 1995 having such an
                experience in Holy Cross-Immaculata and
                I wrote about it in the Mass Book and Blue Book 9
                December 17, 1995 and December 18, 1995.

THE EARTH STOPPED AND TOUCHED HEAVEN

    I long to unite in the deepest union with Him in the Eucharist. I long for the Mass. I long for Thee, oh God. My every moment, I join as I did to You December 15 under the cross, where I felt Your presence. You whisked me away, and I was totally absorbed in that moment of celestial union with You. For that time, I existed only in You, in the deepest union, and I was in this moment existing in You. The earth stopped, and I touched the heavens, all my bodily cares were existent in You. I existed in Your Divinity, my being was in You. There was no desire or wish or wanting, for in that moment, I had all I wanted in You. I was satisfied and wanted nothing but to remain in that embrace. You were the Being, and my being existed in You, but I was only as I was in You - merged in You, knowing and being in Your Divinity and being so full as to feel complete in myself.

    You are so enormous, and You surrounded me in a burning embrace, the presence of red fire. I was not little, or "nothing", but existed in this enormous power and being so complete!

    I touched eternity, and in that embrace, I knew all the waiting was worth the glory. You enveloped my being, and I was truly merged in the Divine Presence. I was merged in Your being. I existed IN You, with You, in the highest union with You, although I knew I was still distinct from You.

    I was fused and absorbed in You, feeling complete and satisfied. To describe this union is far beyond any work of my pen and paper. I pray for the reader of this page to receive the grace to share this experience with Him, I will now live for this union-to be forever merged In Him, to be One in Him, to reach higher perfection as I exist in Him, for He takes the lowly and gives to them a sharing in Himself. He merges with us and we exist in Him. The word "in" - I could write pages about. I long for the deepest union with Him, where I am swept up in the heavenly embrace of the Divine God, and I am IN Him.

    This is heaven on earth: to be merged as one with Divinity, although remaining distinct from God, to take our feeble hearts, our lowly status and to unite ourselves with the Divine, Almighty, powerful God and in this union to be meshed with Him, that His power dominates and our humanity reaches its heights of fulfillment in this union, in this oneness with Him.

    The word I have looked for is "oneness." I understand some of the meaning of the words "One in Him." Oneness is the word to describe this union of our humanity with His Divinity. The depth to which we could meditate on oneness with God is incomprehensible. In that moment, the earth stood still, and He, my Divine Lover, the Bridegroom of my soul, took me to Himself, and I knew the embrace of the Divine God.

    Nothing on the face of this earth can describe our union with Divinity. Oh, good God, that creatures are so ungrateful regarding Your divine love. I am so sorry. Let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart. Please unite with me now that I may more deeply love Thee.

    Oh, Divine Lover of my soul, let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart for the neglect and indifference against You.

Song from Jesus: 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.

    He allowed me to experience such pain in my heart - wanting Him so badly, so many times-and then on Dec. 15, 1995 - He gave Himself to me in the deepest union.

    Nothing satisfies the soul but Him. He wants the nuns and priests to love Him. He chose them to spread His love.

    Souls are hungry. They will only be fed with His burning love. Priests need to talk about Jesus' love for us from the pulpit. Priests need hearts burning for love of Jesus. This will feed the hungry souls - lip service love doesn't do it.

    He is alive today. He is a Person. He wants us to love Him.

IN THE DEEPEST RECESSES OF HIS HEART

    The place Jesus took me was into the deepest recesses of His Heart. I was enveloped in His burning love. It was a red room with heat and an intense glow. I was swept away in this embrace, and I only existed in Him. The power of the Almighty God enveloped me, and I only existed in Him. There was no fear, for I was existent in this Almighty Being. My heart was wrapped in the eternal embrace of this Supreme Being. The security, the power I know was His deep presence in which I existed.

    I knew the room was red and warm. I knew His immenseness, but I felt my own completeness in Him. I did not feel little, as a speck, but elevated and empowered for I existed then in Him in a most special way.

    I was overtaken by the love of God. The fire of the Holy Spirit filled me. I was absorbed by the love of the Father, and I existed IN Him and in the deepest recesses of the Heart of Jesus. Our heaven on earth is these inner chambers of His magnificent Heart - the Heart of the Almighty God, with all the power, with omnipotence, with the fire of the love of God. He took me to the deepest chamber of this fiery Heart, and in that moment, I touched eternity, for I knew what it was to be enveloped in the deep furnace of His love. I now want to exist in this chamber of His Heart, swept away in His burning love, absorbed in my every cell with His love.

    We do not understand the fire of His love. We do not understand what it is to be absorbed by love itself. He took me to the inner, deepest chamber of His Heart, and I felt the heat and knew the presence of love itself, and there was no fear, only a feeling of completeness, omnipotence, all-embracing, penetrating love - a power indescribable in words, a saturation of my being in the presence of God, and I was as I was created to be - living in Him!

    This is how I will forever live my life, saturated with His divine life and love deep within this inner chamber of His burning Heart, living in Him as He possesses my being, and I operate with His power in me.

    Little creatures though we are, we are His, His power, His life, flowing through us. In Him, we are as the Father intended: one in Him, each one of us, dwelling in this fiery furnace of His love. With our fears quieted and our hearts empowered by His life, we live forever in Him - in the Heart of Jesus.

    Let no man separate what God has joined together. I am wed in the deepest love with my beloved Spouse, wed to the Heart of Jesus. As I am, I am one in Him. I live and I breathe in Him. He, Who is love, He Who is our all, He Who is mighty and without limits, He Who is, He Who is God and as I live, He lives in me in this world.

    I am wed to Him, and I shall not fear for He is God - one, complete, loving, God. Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee. As I live, I live in Your most adorable Heart, the furnace of God's love!

                R. Mary appeared in Clearwater one year
                    later
                    December 17, 1996.

                Here is a letter I got from
                    Jesus
                    December 19, 1996
                    2 days later.

                On December 12, 1996, I received a message
                    from Jesus and Mary to make Mary's
                    message tape and to put a message
                    from Jesus and Mary.

                We were to pass out the tape "Mary's Message"
                    at the Farm the next day December 13, 1996.

                I was told I could only go to the Faber
                    House twice a week on December 12, 1996
                    when Fr. Carter was saying Mass –
                   
                Mary appeared in Clearwater on the
                    building 5 days later.

 

December l9, l996 

Jesus: My dear Fr. Carter and Rita, 

    I have given to you these great gifts of the Mass. You have offended Me greatly by holding back these gifts from this world.

    There will be an era of peace and love, centered in the gifts pouring forth in the Mass, through the hands of consecrated priests.

    Within the chamber room I shared with you the secrets of My  Heart. You must take these great gifts out to the world.

    I will reinstate your gifts when you comply with My demands. Because of blindness and willfulness, you have not treasured, as you should, the gifts I have given to you.

    You must read the messages and comply with all My demands.

    I tell you of the urgency of this call. You will suffer greatly because of the decision made, but you must obey your superior.  The gift of the Mass will be reinstated when you do as I have requested.

    I will renew the Church and the world greatly through these writings. Do not underestimate the power in these writings. You must focus on the events at hand, prayer and sacrifice.

    Sacrifice for the souls that will never know Me if you do not respond to this urgent request. This is the request of My Father to spread the Mass books and the Newsletters to the very ends of the earth.

    My hand is struck with power. You must let go of the distractions in your life. All you do must be centered in carrying out the Plan of the Father.  I will greatly renew the Church and the world through the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Your writings will help to greatly bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart and the triumph of My Mother’s Immaculate Heart.

    The Mass book must be published as soon as possible. My messages must circulate. The funds will come when you do as I have requested.

    I am communicating to the Shepherds of Christ Movement through these messages.

    Put distractions aside and focus on My messages. I beg you, I beg you! When I strike, I get the attention of those I press on.

    Would you heed My messages if I took anything else away from you? I want you to study My messages.

    My hand is struck with power on you, My beloved ones, on you - now you must respond as I have directed you.  

    The Center is My Mass offered through the hands of holy priests. You cannot hold the information I have given you back from the world any longer.

    The Church is suffering from decay. You contain the anecdote for the poison in the church and the world.

    I love you so much. You must be strong soldiers of love.

                   I love you,  Jesus

 

 

December 19, 1996

THERE IS A MAN ON THE CROSS

R. God wants union with us. He wants fire. Many try to love God with a cold heart. They tell Him words that they think they should say that are loving.

When one loves, they do not need to be prompted to say words. From the depth of their being they cry out their words of love. It is a cry from within, from the fire within their chest, behind the words. The words are burning in their chest and must be released because of the fire behind them.

Jesus: Oh, you little blind children, you know so little of love! You stand by the shore and throw little words at Me. I was consumed with such love for you. I gave Myself to My death on the cross. 

R. We are as blind men. We do not see the great gifts that God gives to us. It is as if we stand by the shore of the sea and throw little words at Jesus. We must not be afraid to jump into the water and be completely immersed in His love. He was consumed with such love for us. He gave Himself to His death on the cross.

There is a man on a cross and he tells us so many things. He does not have to speak. When we study Him on the cross, He speaks to us with His pierced hands, His head covered with blood, His body withered and beaten. He speaks to us of His undying love.

Oh, beloved Savior, I am blind. I am selfish. I do not see the great reservoir of love that you give to Me. I see the man dying on the cross. How do I see Him? Do I see a figure and think, oh, is it a pretty cross, would it look good in my living room? Do I see the cross and think, oh, I guess I should have one in my house, others will think I am holy then? Holy people do have a cross in their homes.

Do I see the body of a man, a live man? Do I see His labored breath? Do I see His chest move as His Heart beats within? Do I see the real skin of a man? Do I see the real blood He shed? Do I see the light that silhouettes His withered body? Do I see the Light of the World? Do I see the tender skin of an infant laid on bare wood in the manager and then the torn, lacerated, bloodied skin of this man?

Jesus: Oh, My children, this is love! There is a man on the cross. A child is born in Bethlehem. I am the Light of the World. My light is shining in the darkness, but people do not see. They see the wood on the cross, but they view it for the beauty it will create in their newly decorated living rooms.

R. The cross is not a thing of the past, the cross is with us today. We carry it on our backs as He showed us we would, but we try to take it off and throw it away.

It is in the cross there is the resurrection. It is by meditating on the crucifix, we see His undying love. We must open up our eyes and see. Pray for vision to see clearly the man Who gave Himself for love of us, Our Divine Lord.

And how do we return His love?

Love is spontaneous, love is fire in our hearts, love is alive and emitted with force. God is love.

Do we realize that His last thoughts on the cross were for us. In this agony, as He hung on the cross, He was consumed with burning love for us. When He was scourged at the pillar, He was comforted by our acts of love that we give to Him today. Our burning love for Him was sweetness to His most Sacred Heart in the moments of His bitter Passion.

Love gives and wants to give its all. A person in love does not need to be prompted and told to love. Love wants to give.

Love is given spontaneously, it is not controlled. Love is tenderness pouring forth from the heart. Love is not concerned with commitment, love by itself is committed. It pours forth from the mouth of the lover because of the fire burning deep inside.

Let us study the battered body of Christ on the cross. As I study His pierced hands and feet, His head crowned with thorns, the blood pouring forth from His Heart, as I view the lacerations covering His body, I feel His word well up in my heart. He speaks to me in the depth of my soul and I hear Him say, "I love you. I love you. I love you, to My death on the cross."

Jesus: I love, I love, I love you. Study My crucifix.

R. He gives, He gives, He gives to us constantly. He gives and how is He treated by us? We take and we take and we take and we don't even say thanks. Thanks for our breath, our heartbeat, the beautiful sky, the sunlit day, the moon at night, the beautiful eyes of our friends. Oh, how many things He gives to us and how ungrateful we are!

On April 18, 1994 Jesus gave this message in God's Blue Book III: "How is your day? Is your glass half-full or half-empty?"

How often my glass is half empty, as I am reminded by my spiritual director, Fr. Carter. How often I do not thank Our Divine Lord for His gifts!

When I am filled with love, I see more clearly. The secret is to know God's love. We must pray for the grace to know His love more and for the grace to love Him more.

There is a man on the cross. Do we see His undying love for us? He speaks no words. He shows us the crucifix. The words are alive in our hearts.

The Father created us to love and to be loved. God is love. He wants union with us. He gives Himself to us. This is love. There is union in proportion to how I give myself to Him.

Jesus gives and gives and gives and we treat Him "nonchalantly". He gives us love, but we must give ourselves to Him to have union with Him. He wants us to be one with Him.

In Blue Book II, February 2, 1994, Jesus speaks about how He wants us to come to Communion.

“Think of how it will be when you receive God in Communion.  Anticipate the event with such eagerness that, when you go to Communion, you are so filled with love that you scarce can breathe”...

In the song He wrote for us to sing to Him, “I love you, Jesus”. He wrote: “Oh burning heart, oh love divine, I scarce can breathe when you come into me”...

Jesus further states on February 2, l994 the same message:  

“When you awake at night, think of Me and how you will receive God the next day.  Anticipate this union with such eagerness.  A King comes to you. I enter your body and unite with your soul. I am the King of the Kingdom of Heaven...I am your lover, I am a person, I want you to visit Me with such longing.  You must think of Me all day to be able to long for Me. Think of Me as you do a lover. I am crying out to you, My little ones, I am crying out. I love  you and I long to be with you. I come to be united with you in the Eucharist. I come to you in the tabernacle. I am your love. I am waiting to be with you and share so much love with you.

“You swoon to have your lover with you, yet you come to Me with such coldness. I want your ardent love. I want you.”

Ps. 63:1-8:

God, you are my God, I pine for you;
my heart thirsts for you,
my body longs for you,
as a land parched, dreary and waterless.
Thus I have gazed on you in the sanctuary,
seeing your power and your glory.
Better your faithful love than life itself;
my lips will praise you.
Thus I will bless you all my life,
in your name lift up my hands.
All my longings fulfilled as with fat and rich foods,
a song of joy on my lips and praise in my mouth.
On my bed when I think of you,
I muse on you in the watches of the night,
for you have always been my help;
in the shadow of your wings I rejoice;
my heart clings to you,
your right hand supports me.

The priest says in the Mass at the Offertory, "By the mystery of this water and wine may we come to share in the Divinity of Christ, Who humbled himself to share in our humanity." He gives Himself to us. He shares His Divinity with us. We are human creatures and He shares Himself with us. My heart burns when the priest puts the drop of water in the wine. This is, indeed, a great mystery that God remains with us today, truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the Holy Eucharist, that He gives Himself to us in Communion, and that He waits for us to come to the tabernacle and be with Him. He wants to outpour His divine love and His divine life to us.

We should swoon for our Lover the Almighty, Divine God, yet we go to Him with such cold hearts. He wants our burning love.

The song "I Love You, Jesus":

Oh Burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You're here to love and care for me. I know Your love a little now, so dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee. I cannot say. There are not words to say what my heart feels. I love You so, I scarce can breathe when You come into me. I know Your love a little now, so dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee. Your tender Heart, Oh how it beats for love of each this day. I want to give You all my love, surrender totally. I know Your love a little now, so dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee.

December 19, 1996 - Message from Mary
Message given through Rita Ring

A Christmas Message for the Shepherds of Christ Associates,

Mary: My little Children in the Shepherds of Christ Movement,

My Son and I give you this gift this Christmas, Rosaries from Our Hearts. We will write the messages of Our love on your hearts. You will hear Us speak to you in your hearts whenever you read the rosaries in this book or listen to any tapes recorded from Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

I am your Mother. My Son is giving to you abundant graces to dwell in Our Hearts when you read, study or pray these Rosaries from Our Hearts.

I appeared at Fatima on the 13th of the month.

My Son, Jesus, has called you on the 13th of the month to hear His messages.

My Son, Jesus, is asking you to help in the completion of the Fatima message. These messages, given from Him on the 13th, are of major importance to the completion of my mission given at Fatima.

You are His shepherds He is sending into the world to lead the strayed ones to His Heart through the consecration.

The Ministries in the Shepherds of Christ Movement must spread to all souls on the earth.

You are His apostles to spread the consecration to the world. You must contact the Church, the schools, and the family as we have instructed in the Shepherds of Christ Apostles Manual.

Please, my beloved shepherds, let go of other distractions in your life and focus on what my Son, Jesus, is asking you today.

Will you commit yourself to His Movement to renew the Church and the world? Will you be His apostles to lead the strayed ones to His Heart?

You were given a special calling from Him to be an apostle. Oh, the world needs His light. You will make ready a pathway for Him. Carry His light into the darkness.

My Son is majorly communicating to you in this Movement in the Blue Book messages. We are communicating to you in the Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Please help Us. Please come on the 13th of the month.

This is a major part of the completion of the Fatima message.

My Son, Jesus, calls you now. Will you say 'no' to Him? The rosaries, with messages from my Son, are available on live tapes, discerned by Fr. Carter. Please listen each day to a small amount of the tape. Advance the tape to any place and listen for at least five minutes. He will talk to you. He will speak in your heart.

Included is my message on tape for you, titled Mary's Message. I have requested and My Son, Jesus, has requested you spread my message and this the tape to the world. I have requested the tape be made on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Please pray to me under this title and pray to the Infant of Prague for the funds to circulate these messages to the world.

This is the gift I ask you to give my Son this Christmas. Commit yourself to serving Him in this Movement and live the messages you are given in God's Blue Books and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

I am your Mother. The Child Jesus gives you Himself. Will you give Him yourself?

 

December 19, 1996 - Message from Jesus
Message given through Rita Ring

Jesus: My Children,

I am Jesus. I am calling you on the l3th of each month. I will give you, My apostles, My special messages to light the world with My love. You are My lights. I send you into the darkness. Please study My messages. I am operating through you. You must live your consecration to Our Hearts. You will lead the strayed ones home to My Heart. I want your tender love. Oh, please give your hearts to My Mother and Me. I want your hearts. I love you.

I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

 

December 19, 1996
Message given through Rita Ring
Received in a few minutes after Communion
St. Gertrude Church

Jesus: My Beloved Ones,

You will know a great time of trial and darkness. I have written to you of the great sufferings to come. The sinfulness of this world greatly displeases Me. I beg you to pray for forgiveness and turn your hearts to love.

And darkness covered the earth and the light was cast in little corners of the earth. Those who were willful remained in intense darkness, those who were rooted in God, and giving themselves to consecration, were the children of the light.

And the light shown in the darkness and the darkness grasped it not, but to as many as responded, they became the children of the light and from them His life flowed into the hearts that were cold and dark and slowly, very slowly, the light began to steal across the darkened sky and the moon was covered with blood. The blood was the blood of the Lamb. The blood represented the blood He shed to give us life. But the blind just saw ordinary blood and were scared to death. They responded with the greatest fright and lacked peace, but those rooted in God, those whose hearts were consecrated to Mary and Jesus, knew the sign was from God—that the time of reckoning was at hand. Many were punished and suffered a great chastisement. Many were left to death, but the children of light prayed the rosary and trusted in God.

And the night was no more for the light of day came stealing across the sky and myriads of angels filled the sky and the heavens. Sing Alleluia, Praise the Lord, you saints and angels, show yourselves to the survivors for they walked in darkness and could not see, but the light was alive in their hearts and they dwelt within the furnace of His Heart.

Have no fear now, My people, for you are the children of the light and My hand is forever upon you. You may suffer now a little, but it is nothing compared to the splendor to come.

R. Oh, reign of peace, reign of the Sacred Heart, triumph of her Immaculate Heart, we wait for you anxiously for the nights have been cold and dark and we cried a bitter cry in the darkness but we knew of the glories to come for we forever trusted in You and Your mighty hand.

Your hand is struck with power. The Virgin Mary warned the poor children that died an eternal death to mind their ways and they cried out, "Not me, oh, no, God — your ways are stiff necked and cruel. I want for foolish pleasure now and tomorrow will care for itself."

And the Lord called and called and they marched into the darkness with cold hearts, telling the Almighty God, 'no'.

Mary: Oh, my children, my little children of light, the time is nigh and many will be lost forever. I appeared and warned and told all to mind their ways and come to the Heart of my Son and they said "No, my Lady, not for you or any mother. We are children of darkness and that we remain, for we seek our pleasure by day and feast on sin all night and when you called, mother, we laughed at your Son and ignored Him and His ways." And He called and His call fell on deaf ears.

Please, my children of light, come to my heart now for although you walked next to the children of darkness. I smite the dragon that whirled around you and protected you in my heart and you will now feast on the glories of His Kingdom, my little children of light.

 

 

December 19, 1996 

Mary: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.

    I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.

    I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book.

I ask you, Fr. Carter to write a letter stressing the urgency of my message. I wish the chapters to receive the tape and Rosary Book as soon as possible. It will be my message to them on Christmas, 1996.

It is through the Shepherds of Christ Movement my Son Jesus will greatly renew the Church and the World.

Circulate this letter with the tape and Rosary Book:

 

                 February 3, 2014 message continues

                R. "All I ask of you is forever to remember me
                as loving you" is a song.

                    Jesus told me to play this at Margaret's funeral.
                Margaret was a handmaid. She was very holy.
   


   

                R. I am still united to Margaret in my life – even
                though she died. Margaret and what she did and
                things she left are all around us. I am not in
                her body space – there is an invisible string
                between our hearts, I am united in my heart to
                Margaret.

                    We have donors and members all over and I
                know them. They are in Texas and Penn and
                Utah and California and I feel a very deep bond with
                them. We are united in one mind and one heart in
                the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

 

  1 Corinthians 12: 12-30

For as with the human body which is a unity although it has many parts—all the parts of the body, though many, still making up one single body—so it is with Christ. We were baptised into one body in a single Spirit, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as free men, and we were all given the same Spirit to drink. And indeed the body consists not of one member but of many. If the foot were to say, ‘I am not a hand and so I do not belong to the body,’ it does not belong to the body any the less for that. Or if the ear were to say, ‘I am not an eye, and so I do not belong to the body,’ that would not stop its belonging to the body. If the whole body were just an eye, how would there be any hearing? If the whole body were hearing, how would there be any smelling? 

    As it is, God has put all the separate parts into the body as he chose. If they were all the same part, how could it be a body? As it is, the parts are many but the body is one. The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I have no need of you,’ and nor can the head say to the feet, ‘I have no need of you.’ 

    What is more, it is precisely the parts of the body that seem to be the weakest which are the indispensable ones. It is the parts of the body which we consider least dignified that we surround with the greatest dignity; and our less presentable parts are given greater presentability which our presentable parts do not need. God has composed the body so that greater dignity is given to the parts which were without it, and so that there may not be disagreements inside the body but each part may be equally concerned for all the others. If one part is hurt, all the parts share its pain. And if one part is honoured, all the parts share its joy. 

    Now Christ’s body is yourselves, each of you with a part to play in the whole. And those whom God has appointed in the Church are, first apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly teachers; after them, miraculous powers, then gifts of healing, helpful acts, guidance, various kinds of tongues. Are all of them apostles? Or all prophets? Or all teachers? Or all miracle–workers? Do all have the gifts of healing? Do all of them speak in tongues and all interpret them?

 

John 15: 1-8

I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
     he prunes
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
     that I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
—and withers;
these branches are collected
     and thrown on the fire
and are burnt.
If you remain in me
and my words remain in you,
you may ask for whatever you please
and you will get it.
It is to the glory of my Father
      that you should bear much fruit
and be my disciples. 

   

                R. When one member of the body suffers we
                all suffer. If my throat is closed up or my
                nose stuffed – my whole body suffers. If
                someone has pneumonia their whole body can't
                get proper air.

                    Air to the body is so important. When Jesus
                tells us He is the vine, we are the branches, He
                tells us how important we see our dependency
                on Him. Jesus says, "I am the vine, you are the
                branches" Jesus gives us Himself in the Eucharist,
                we eat His body, we drink His Blood – can we not
                understand how Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell
                in our graced, baptized soul.

                    Jesus says "I am the vine, you are the branches"
                Jesus says, "I am the Bread of Life"
                We eat His Body, we drink His blood. Food to
                nourished our life in Him we received in baptism.

                    Intimacy – God wants this intimacy with us.
                God wants us to be united deeply in Him. God
                wants us to know He created us in love with
                a purpose, a purpose to help in the work of
                redemption. My life is important to Him.
                I am His. It is important to Jesus we consecrate
                our lives to His Sacred Heart. We were created in the
                image and likeness of God. We are to live our
                lives growing to be more and more like Jesus. Mary
                is our spiritual Mother – we go to Mary's Immaculate Heart
                and the Holy Spirit forms us more and more in the image of
                Jesus. Jesus was formed in the womb of Mary by the
                Holy Spirit. We are formed in Mary's spiritual womb.

                    If God wants us to be united and work together,
                God doesn't want us to figure out ways to run
                our own isolated life, when He is trying to mold
                our hearts together.

                    I thought about the statues God wanted us to
                use for the image glass and asked us to put the glass in the
                statues. The statues He told me to use were made from
                molds. They pour the plaster in the mold
                and then wait until the statue is ready to
                be removed from the mold.

                    God wants us to be molded in the spiritual
                womb of our Mother – more and more in the image
                and likeness of God – through the power of God the Holy Spirit.
                When a statue is taken from a mold, when it
                is done – it looks like the mold.

                    We are to pray to be like Mary, our model,
                more and more in the image and likeness of our
                heavenly Mother. She is the perfect disciple,
                handmaid of the Lord. She is Mary, Immaculate,
                conceived without sin. Mary is Mother of God, our
                heavenly Mother. Mary is full of grace – full
                of His life – Mary is the highest human person –
                Wow 
 

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"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!

"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."

 

 

                From Blue Book 13
 

October 5, l996 - First Saturday 

Jesus: My dear priest-son, 

    I have given to you rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary as teaching tools for the Apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Chapters. The devil is distracting all in the Movement and blocking the messages I am giving to you. You will receive the funds you need to proceed ahead when you publish and circulate the rosaries I have given to you. The live rosaries on tape must be circulated. I beg you to read the rosary of September 24, 1996. I beg you to publish the rosary of September 10, 1996. The rosary of October 1, 1996 is telling all of the urgency of these messages. 

    Your Movement will move ahead when you support and circulate these rosaries. The devil will continue to cause confusion by emphasizing the importance of other visionaries’ messages. I have given to you the teachings to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of My Mother’s Immaculate Heart. 

    Until these rosaries are circulated and published, you will not receive funds and your Apostles will not have the motivation to carry this Movement to the corners of the earth. You are not realizing the importance of these live tapes. The devil has attempted to stop all live recordings from being circulated. I am speaking through Rita. These messages are given in a way to reach the depth of the heart. Why do you not publish the live recordings as I have requested? There is lack of support to circulate these rosaries and tapes. Only one rosary has been published and circulated to the Chapters.

    In order to motivate and teach your Apostles you must circulate these tapes and rosaries. The directions are given forcibly, gently, tenderly, pleadingly, lovingly to send the Apostles out to do the work at hand. I am telling you of the importance of these rosaries and the completion of the Fatima message. You must stress the importance of all Apostles to study the May 11th rosary. I am begging you to help assist in publishing the May 11th rosary live on tape on the 13th of October. This is the beginning of the unfolding of the Fatima message strongly through the Shepherds of Christ Movement. The rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary are the teachings for the Apostles. You will experience resistance from those around you. I have been  patient and loving in dealing with those who have blocked the messages. Both rosary books must be published. To hold back these rosaries is to hold back the completion of the Fatima message.

 

October 5, 1996

Mary: I am Our Lady of the Rosary. The Fatima message will unfold around the Shepherds of Christ Movement. I am begging you, please, publish these Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I appeared daily for 14 months and delivered rosaries for the world. Why have these rosaries been held back from this world? Souls are dropping into hell. Do you comprehend the importance of these rosaries to the Fatima message?

I have appeared as Our Lady of Light and Our Lady of Sorrows delivering these rosaries.

I am now delivering this message as Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.

A great mission I give to you, my beloved apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement is to live these rosaries and spread the messages to the world. You must reach the world with these teachings I am giving in the rosary.

On this October 5, 1996, I beg you as your heavenly Mother to not ignore the importance of these rosaries. I have appeared, I have begged, I have warned you. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. His hand is struck with power.

Today is the 5th of the month, first Saturday. I beg all to study this message and to tell all that come on October 13th, 1996 the importance of these live rosaries and the completion of the Fatima message.

I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. This is the key to watching the Movement spread. I am assisting you in publishing and circulating these rosaries. Anyone who stops the rosary messages and meditations will deal with my Son, Jesus!

Souls are at stake and souls have been lost because of the delays to hold back the messages in God's Blue Book and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Any negative references in the Movement to these messages displeases my Son for you have been given the greatest gifts in these revelations. I am asking all to help in the circulation of these rosaries and messages. We are communicating to the world majorly in these messages. The completion of the Fatima message is greatly dependent on these messages. Do not give into Satan any longer to block these messages. You are dealing with my Son, Jesus. This is a great gift given to the world. It would please my Son greatly if you expressed to Him your great thanks for the gifts He has given to you. Your answers are found in these messages. They must be studied and recognized for the great gift they are. You were chosen by God to deliver this message to the world. The ingratitude of many displeases my Son greatly. It is now time for the leaders of the Movement and all apostles to support these messages. It is now time to study the content in its entirety. You are missing the key directions because you do not even read the messages.

I am Mary, your Mother. You will be rewarded with the funds needed when you publish these messages and rosaries.  

 

Vision as seen by another woman, and Fr. Carter told us to record it and discerned it for publication, October 13, 1996
Arlinghaus' Farm, Shepherds of Christ meeting

"Upon leaving my home that morning, before getting into my car, I saw the miracle of the sun. An angel came out of the sun and was standing in the tree above my car.

I believe he was there for me because I was carrying in my car the "live rosaries" that were printed up and were to be distributed at the rosary that day.

During the rosary I could see the miracle of the sun. In fact, it really hadn't stopped since I left home. While we were praying, the Holy Spirit appeared in the air across the river. The Holy Spirit was huge (probably the length of a football field) and white. It was then that I saw Our Lady and she stood just as tall. She wore a pink veil, a light blue mantle, and a pink dress. She appeared as Our Lady of Grace and she appeared to be standing over the river.

There were many angels standing shoulder to shoulder around us. There were so many that day, I believe because of all the people there to honor Our Holy Mother.

After Mary disappeared from the river, Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph stood by the deck where Rita Ring and Fr. Carter were saying the rosary.

When the people were leaving, Dorothy, Emily and I walked toward the deck because the Miracle of the Sun was still taking place. Little Emily, Chris, and Cathy were on the deck (they seemed to be praying). John Weickert was close by and we all saw the miracle together and for the first time, even through the rosary had ended and the people were leaving, Mary, Jesus, and Joseph were still in front of the deck."

 

Vision as seen by another woman, and Fr. Carter told us to record it and discerned it for publication, November 13, 1996
Arlinghaus' Farm, Shepherds of Christ meeting

"It was very gloomy this day. We were expecting snow later in the afternoon. Even though it was so cloudy the sun came out as I was traveling to Tom Arlinghaus' farm. I could see that an angel was once again escorting me to Tom's farm. When I arrived at the farm it was very cold and cloudy. I could not longer see the sun. The rosary was said inside Tom's house. Rita Ring, Fr. Carter, and John Weickert were in the main living room with the members from out of town. I was sitting in the sitting room, off the hallway, with other members of the Shepherds of Christ. I was talking to Mary Ann Henry when Rita started singing. As I looked around, I saw a very large angel standing in the room with us. He stood right in front of Melanie Noe and I wondered if she felt his presence. As we continued to sing and pray I saw a flash of lightning in the dreary sky. I knew that the Holy Family had arrived. I decided to go into the room with Rita and Fr. Carter and the others. I saw our Holy Mother's blue light enter through the huge window (the window covers the entire wall) and there stood Jesus, Mary, and Joseph and many angels. Mary stood above her statue. Jesus was standing to the right of His Mother and St. Joseph was on her left. When Fr. Carter started the Apostles Creed, I saw JESUS ENTER INTO THE STATUE OF HIS SACRED HEART."

 

 

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.

Jesus: My dear people,

    Today March 22, 2012, I want you to make available the statues: Our Lady of Fatima and Our Lady of Guadalupe with the glass, so people will honor Mary and pray the prayers as I have requested before the statue praying for the priests, the Church and the world.

    Pray the prayers before the statues with glass for healings and blessings for your family, for your country, for the Church and the world. I promise special graces to those praying these prayers, and graces drawing them closer to My Heart and My Mother's heart. I want all to know My Mother's love as their mother. Put the statues with the glass in your homes and Churches, your schools and places of businesses and pray these prayers given to Fr. Carter, S.J., founder of Shepherds of Christ, in the prayer manual for the priests, the Church and the world. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock.

Fatima/Clearwater Glass Statues

 

                Jesus told me to put the glass from Mary's
                    image face in the statue.

                I gave a statue to a woman and she
                    did not have to have surgery after 3
                    doctors told her she needed her kidney
                    out because of cancer.

                Jesus said we should pray the Shepherds of Christ
                    prayers before the statue
                    and have the statues in the homes,
                    Churches, etc.

                Others have come running to me after
                    they prayed the prayers (Shepherds of
                    Christ Prayer Manual) before
                    the statue and said
                    crying

                    "Oh Rita, since you gave me the statue
                        with the glass and I prayed the
                        prayers —
                        my son has returned to Church —"

                    Another woman said, "My husband
                        who was in need of prayer is
                        building a grotto for the statue,
                        and he has changed."

                Give these statues for Christmas
                    We will have 10" statues before Christmas.
                    We will have 12" statues before Christmas.
                    We have 18" statues now — home
                        made, hand painted and the
                        crown is handmade —

                It is beautiful and
                    it has the glass from the image
                    in the cloud.

                We have beautiful 27" statues

Yes — All the ends of the earth have seen
the power of God.

 

     God has called us to be united as a family in
the Shepherds of Christ.

     This is a vocation — to pray deeply for
the priests, the Church and the world and
to help support the Newsletter and the
Ministries.

     Remember the image of Our Lady
of Clearwater on the building. We have
very special Fatima statues so you can
have a special place of prayer in your
homes, praying the rosary for your family
and for the priests, the Church and the
world. If you are interested in these
very special Fatima/Clearwater statues
e-mail me with your phone number
and address 
info@sofc.org.

     Those using the special statues
will be united to us in a special way —
We want you to pray the Shepherds of
Christ prayers for the priests, the Church
and the world from your special place
in your home.

     When people have set up a prayer corner/niche
with this statue, Fatima/Clearwater glass, they have
reported that their families have received special
blessings. With this statue it is important to pray
the prayers in the red prayer manual and consecrate
your home and family to the Sacred Heart and
Immaculate Heart.

Call Sheila or Doris about statues or go to China or
Clearwater.

                Message from Jesus!

                R. Jesus appeared in the most
                    beauteous light — radiant
                    faces — I cannot explain —

                Jesus speaks:

                    I wish the Sacred Heart Statues
                with the glass in all homes
                and My Mother's statue with
                glass. She is the Queen of Peace.

                    I am faithful to My Promises.

                    I promise to bring down great
                graces for all praying the
                prayers before the statue —
                Healing graces —
                graces in abundance for families —
                I want this devotion to the Sacred Heart
                and Immaculate Heart in homes.

                May is the month of Mary
                June the month of the Sacred Heart —

 


The rainbow lasted for over an hour during the prayers.

Healings

from

The Building of the Two Hearts
   

1. A gentleman from Florida called and said since he got the Fatima Statue with glass his life has been transformed. 3/3/2009

2. After using the Jesus water, pain and non-movement (for 3 years) in my fingers was healed instantly. Now fingers are cracking and working and no pain. Has taken x-rays. 10-19-2008

3. Ruptured ACL Ligament and PCL ligament left leg (knee) and damaged meniscus. 3-4 weeks excruciating pain. MRI showed damaged ligaments - went to do surgery and scopes revealed no damage other than meniscus injury. Day before surgery we came here to pray for healing. Wife anointed knee with Jesus water. Were told prior to surgery that would be out of work 3-6 months and surgery would be 4 hours. Surgery was only 40 minutes and recovery time is 1-2 weeks.  8/13/2008

4. My best friend (a couple) was granted a son, which now is my godson. They've been married for a long time but never had a child until they both came to see the Virgin Mary's image.  8/4/2007

5. I just wanted to tell you we have had so many prayers answered most especially since we have had the image statue in our home a few months ago. Prayers being miraculously answered for our children & grandchildren, our daughter's heart has literally almost healed ... she is also pregnant and that is also a miracle that she carried the baby this far, she is so thankful and also her cardiologist can't figure out how she is doing so well, and even agreed with her it must be prayers being said for her. He also told her in her 4th month to abort the baby, maybe he will have a conversion, we hope. Others in my family have changed since we got the statue. They are more understanding and patient and love being a Catholic more than ever before ...We thank Jesus, Mary, Rita and you all. Praise all of heaven. We are also so eager to have many more prayers answered. We are giving our married children a 10 inch statue each for their homes and red prayer manual if they would also like to say the prayers if they so choose to. The statue we know will help them with many graces as they pray before it as it has helped us in our home and lives. Love you all.  8/3/2007

6. Pregnancy. (A long note about how a woman got pregnant after she came to the Virgin Mary Building.) 3/21/2008

7. My mother was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in April 2005. She received the Jesus water of Clearwater that my brother brought to El Salvador. She was treated at Instituto Salvadoreno del Segino Social. She was expected to live 3-6 months. She lived well for 2 years. Now she rests in peace with Lord Jesus and Virgin Mary. She died of Pneumonia March 21, 2007.  4/27/2007

8. The CAT scan showed a dark spot and they thought they would have to remove my right kidney. My family went to the Blessed Mother and asked for prayers and help. They also got the healing water. Well all our prayers were answered. There was no cancer or tumor. Thanks for all your prayers and help, and thanks to the Lord above.  4/18/2007

9. Knees were injured from motorcycle accident July/August 2006. His mom got the water in Florida right after the accident and took it to him and he used it every day and now his knees are completely healed. He knows Jesus water did it. 1/9/2007

10. Suspected blood clot. Pain in leg with swelling. Jesus water was used and pain went away and swelling. 12/31/2006

11. Barretrs – My husband brought Jesus water to hospital and put on my stomach. Biopsy came back fine.  12/27/06

12. A man from South Carolina came to thank Jesus and Mary for his healing. His brother sent him Jesus' water when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Three doctors told him there was nothing they could do for him. He started using Jesus' water and started feeling better (He could hardly walk, he was using a wheelchair a lot). He went back to the doctor and tests showed no more cancer — gone! The doctor told him he never saw this happen before. He is around 70 years old and walks and feels normal.   2006

13. A lady from Egypt wrote asking St. Mary for a baby for 3 years. She helped me and now I have a little daughter. Her name is Mariam after St. Mary name by my language. Thank God and Thank St. Mary. She always remembers me. - Egypt  10/25/2006

14. This woman filled out a healing form at the site. I am so blessed by the Blessed Mother that she has been there for me on more than several occasions. She performed a miracle on all occasions, one in particular was cancer of the right leg. The doctors wanted to cut my leg off the cancer was in the bone. When I returned to New York and went to a plastic surgeon he saw the cat scan and said my chances weren't good. When he did the surgery the cancer was not in the bone. It was superficial.  9/2/2006

15. Stroke. Healed August 2006. 9/2/2006

16. A year ago he went to Orlando for a test on his prostate. It was positive. He came here in May and got some Jesus water out of the trough. He went back to the doctor and he was healed. - Venezuela  8/25/2006

17. Infertility. Conceived and gave birth exactly 9 months after our first visit to Clearwater in August 2000. Our son was born exactly 9 months after our visit (May 20, 2001). I've had surgeries on both ovaries in 1998 and had very little chance of conceiving. Mother Mary gave us our blessing and wish. 7/21/2006

18. Peter was operated on for cancer he had for 10 years on his leg and because the wound was so big, they had to take some skin from another part of his leg to be able to fix it but it did split. So Monday the doctor said that another surgery was needed but thanks to Jesus water on Wednesday on that same week he was healed. - Argentina   7/2/2006

19. Cancer of the lungs. A friend of ours who we visit from Canada. He told us of his illness and we came and prayed at the Virgin Mary's appearance on March 28, 2006. He had Jesus' water put on him the night before his surgery. His surgery was on March 31 and the cancer was gone. Thank you for your blessings.  4/2/2006

20. Lower back muscle strain. After straining my back I used the Jesus water before using pain crθme. After putting on the water I no longer needed the crθme. The strain was gone.  3/16/2006

21. Neuropathy. He had gotten Jesus water a few days ago and went to the doctor yesterday.  3/15/2006

22. Pregnancy. I could not become pregnant. I came here to ask Mary to extend her hands on me, to be able to have a child. The miracle happened. I did not know that other women had become pregnant by asking Mary. My son is 3 years old. I am convinced that he is called to be special in his life, he has a mission. When she went to see the doctor, specialists, they said forget it, she couldn't have a baby, and she went to many different ones. Came here to pray and became pregnant. All the doctors never understood what had happened. They said he is a miracle child. 3/8/2006

23. Pregnancy. Became pregnant of twin girls after we prayed in 2005 and even have a statue of the Virgin Mary in our yard. After 15 years of concubinage Virgin Mary finally blessed us. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Jesus water was used to help conceive. 2/2/2006

24. A woman came in today from New York and said she was here last March (2005) and got the Jesus water. Her cousin who was very healthy and had just retired at age 60 suffered a massive stroke. He was taken to the best neurological hospital in New York and the doctors said he had no chance of recovery. He had a blood clot at the base of his brain stem. He was in intensive care and the woman with the other family members were visiting him and she put Jesus water on him and they prayed over him, while he was laying in bed in a fetal position unable to talk was paralyzed. After she had left (only 30 minutes of visitation in Intensive Care) the woman received a call from her cousin's wife saying the man had sat up in bed after they left and was miraculously healed. He is back at home now. The doctors came in and said this was a miracle. This was 2 months ago.  1/24/2006

25. Dermatomyositis (a form of Muscular Dystrophy). I was given 6 months to live. I was really depressed ready to give up when, while being in town for my girlfriends niece's Christmas Party. I heard it on the news. (December 17, 1996) Decided why not let's go, when I got here I was not expecting to see what I saw. I couldn't believe what I saw. Within an hour I put the cane down, slowly but surely got better enough where I wasn't paralyzed or dead. Thank you Jesus and Mary.  12/16/2005

26. Small Bowel Syndrome. Infant acquired surgical intervention at birth. 4 months care at home. Healed completely as of May 2005.    11/24/2005

27. Newborn very sick - 2 lbs. My mother came to visit me. We used to live in the post apartments by Target. I brought my Mother to the Virgin Mary Building in Clearwater and she prayed for my niece, who was in Guatemala. When my Mother returned to Guatemala she took the picture of Virgin Mary and put it in my niece's room. When my niece was born, she needed a tube feeding. She couldn't eat on her own. She was very thin and very sick. Many people told my sister and my mother (including the doctors) that my niece was so sick that she probably would died. Thank to our Lady Virgin Mary, my niece is a healthy gifted 9 year old girl. - Guatemala - Healing was at 6 months old. 11-22-2005

28. My daughter was told she had thyroid cancer, after having one side of the thyroid removed they found the cancer was gone. This had to be due to Mary and Jesus Water and her belief in the Mother and Son.  9/17/2005

29. Virus. He was in Egypt. His relatives came to the site and asked for prayers for healing for him. That same day they were here he was completely healed of his Liver virus. He is a physician.  8/31/2005

30. After waiting about 8 months for the baby to get bigger for the surgery, the doctor checked him and couldn't believe it, but she said, "It just fixed itself." He was 4 months premature and this surgery would have lowered his sperm count significantly and its already been lowered by a double inguinal hernia surgery. 6-14-2005  

31. Burst tube with unexpected pregnancy. Was internal bleeding. Doctor told was miracle, surviving from this kind of operation. She (the mother) had come to the site and prayed to God if this Image (Our Lady of Clearwater) was from God to grant her a miracle. Her daughter who was in Lithuania at the time was in the hospital and the above miracle happened during the 2 hours the mother was praying at the site.  5/4/2005

32. Heart failure. He was not breathing. Jesus water was poured on him while praying. He started breathing again. 4/23/2005

33. When I was pregnant, my baby was sick. My baby born was well. Thanks.  4/18/2005

34. Flu. Both sitting in car, praying rosary both sick of flu. He very sick, not getting better. Both used the water, felt pain leave body, didn't say anything, but after few minutes he said "I feel pain is gone." They drove back to tell us that they were healed. 4/18/2005

35. Asthma. Put Jesus water on neck. Breathing much better. 4/17/2005

36. Severe back pain. Have a bad back from laying brick for years and sometimes I bend over and the pain is severe and it takes at least 3 or 4 or more weeks for it to go away. I put Jesus water on it and it went away in 2 days. Alleluia.  4/16/2005

37. I must admit that some days I forget to wash in the water. But I have felt the same feeling once again a few days ago as I did on March 2nd, the first time I applied it to my knees. On the movie that you took, I am walking on the beach without a cane. I don't know if you noticed. I didn't use the cane yesterday, and I have no pain. I'm still slow at climbing the stairs, but I'm seeing a tremendous improvement. I'll keep a journal, and continue updating you I pray a lot, as I'm applying the medicine. Part of my prayer is "If it be your will." Thank you. I'll be in touch soon. 3/11/2005

38. My husband had a good friend and he was diagnosed with cancer and given less than a few weeks to live. Jesus told me to take him the Jesus water. I never really met him, but I went to the hospital. He was so sick. He bounced up and said I knew it - I will be healed. And he lived over two years longer.  2005

39. Leukemia went into remission February 7, 2003. Her doctor can't believe how well she is doing. She has the worse kind of Leukemia there is and she is doing extremely well. He said this does not happen, so soon, we told him its because of all the prayers, everyone is saying for her. The day after we visited the Blessed Mother Building, her blood count was excellent. Thank you so much. As of 11/3/2004 she is still in remission and doing very well, a happy 10 year old little girl. We are all so thankful for all the prayers from everyone, we truly believe, if we hadn't had our faith and by going to the Virgin Mary building so often, we wouldn't have been so fortunate to have her. Prayer is still the most powerful and healing process. Thank you so much.  11/3/2004

40. Spinal Manangitas. December 16th, 2002 we almost lost our little grandson. He was taken flight for life to Madison where they worked on him for hours. They told us he would either be blind - deaf - brain damage, or he might not walk. Today he is a happy - healthy little boy full of life. Thanks to everyone's prayers to our Blessed Virgin and our heavenly Father, without them we would not have him. Thank you. As of this date November 3, 2004 our little grandson is doing very well, a healthy happy little boy, and so full of life, and without any complications. Our prayers and by going to the Virgin Mary building truly helped this little boy. Thanks to everyone for all their prayers. 11/3/2004

41. After my family visited the Virgin Mary and returned to hospital, I showed no sign of having a stroke. Doctors at hospital said I would not recover.  4/2001

42. A couple today told of a friend who has a priest friend who was unable to move his legs (possibly a stroke) and they put Jesus water on him and he is now walking and has gone back to the Philippines. I gave them a healing form to give to their friend. They said he uses the water every day on his legs. 11/2008

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle B —  The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A — The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C — In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B — At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

$ 10.00  plus postage

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #1 - CD. - Christ is Our Strength - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

Priestly Newsletter - 2000 #2 - CD. - Suffering: A Source of Life - Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. Fr. Carter knew suffering that year. His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ–." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
