Messenger:   Dear God,

                        Grant mercy to this earth, I beg you my
                    beloved Jesus, have mercy, grant us peace, help
                    us to love one another - respect each other, not be
                    jealous and prideful, envious -

                        Oh God I cry out to You night long in tears to help us to see
                    that we must be pure for it is for this reason Mary appeared to show us
                    that we must strive for purity.

                        On February 2, 2006 a ship went down in the Red Sea, it was a tragic
                    loss. Once the people of Moses crossed the Red Sea to Egypt, they had been
                    in the desert.

                        Today we see the loss of so many in the Red Sea
                    and it saddens us at any loss as this, but we know that many
                    souls will be lost to hell. That is why Mary appeared to tell us, souls are
                    going into hell like rain. Do we fail to even recognize Mary in her
                    visits or the call she gives?

February 5, 2004

Mary speaks:     I am Mary, I call out to you now to do this work for Jesus, for
                        He calls out to you today that souls can be reached with His message
                        and it will make a difference.

                            Jesus gives you the Mighty Medicine for the sick world in these
                        writings. I am sorry you do not understand, but the Father in
                        allowing me to appear over this decade has told you, you just
                        don't want to be bothered when God speaks or when I speak
                        to you, Mary your Mother, as a messenger from God.

                            Why did they ignore my visits in Clearwater,
                        Florida or my Son's Movement to pray
                            so many years ago for the
                                priests, the Church
                                    and the world?

                            This is no little plan.

                            On March 1, 2006 it will be the 2nd year anniversary
                        of when they shot off my image head with a sling-shot.

February 7, 2006 message continues

Mary speaks:      You removed the head
                        of my image in hatred. Who tried to protect this
                        sign sent to the earth by the Heavenly Father? You
                        ignored me when I appeared 7 1/2 years beginning
                        December 17, 1996 and ending by the pellets of a sling-
                        shot March 1, 2004.

                            My prayer services on the 5th beginning for the public
                        April 5, 1995 to help make reparation for the 5 blasphemies
                        against me, your mother, and for the recognition of
                        how Jesus suffered with His 5 wounds, have been
                        mostly ignored!!

Mary speaks:     Please I beg you as your heavenly Mother to ignore
                        me no longer. The impurity of this earth is at an all-
                        time-high, I appeared as your heavenly Mother - Queen
                        of the Universe in CLEAR WATER Florida, You shot off my
                        image head.

February 7, 2006 message continues

Mary speaks:      Make reparation I beg you.

                            Ignore my message here and the message of
                                My Son Jesus no longer.

                            Impurity is at an all time high. The people
                        of this human race need to love one another to live
                        as Jesus and I tell you in the Blue Books. Meditating on
                        the mysteries of the rosary.

Jesus speaks:      Please My people
                        can you not hear when God speaks to you?
                        The Rosary meditations given when Mary appeared
                        daily in 1995 must circulate.

                            Your people of the Church are being attacked by satan.
                        They do not understand the gift I give them.
                        You must pray the rosary and go to the Eucharist. The
                        message I deliver is this - I am truly present in
                        My Divinity and humanity - here is a witness of
                        one of My love letters to a chosen soul -

Mary G.

 
How has being a member of Shepherds of Christ has changed my life?

When I was a baby, we lived next door to a convent and I had 12 years of Catholic education. I married and lived Cincinnati eventually. After my civil divorce, my three younger children and I moved back to Price Hill in Cincinnati where I grew up. This time brought me the Catholic Charismatic experience.

Dad died in '86, and I moved away to a small town. Though I tried, I thought no Catholic church or prayer group met my needs so I attended Protestant prayer meetings and services. I found ministers and prayer groups that deeply love the Lord Jesus, and I would still be in these circles except that I went back to Cincinnati to visit. I hadn't told my old friends that I was no longer a practicing Catholic so I joined them when they attended charismatic functions. At one of these I was given Blue Book I.

Actually, someone tried to give it to me and I wouldn't take it saying, I had too much to read , so it was given to the friend I was staying with. When we got home and she was out of the room, I opened the book so I could congratulate myself for not accepting it.

That's Jesus! Jesus is speaking in this book! I read almost the whole book that night, then I ate humble pie and phoned the lady who had pressed me to accept it. I received it in a few days.

Back home I read and reread it. Jesus was speaking loud and clear and I went to the nearest church and made a confession and resumed my long neglected practice of daily Mass. I also began to go to the Shepherds of Christ chapter meetings in Morrow, Ohio, where I heard the call for volunteers to come to the Virgin Mary Site in Clearwater, Florida.

How well I understand God's words, "Your thoughts are not My thoughts!".

Changing my thoughts and my ways comes more slowly than changing my address, which is now Clearwater, Florida.

Though retirement isn't at all what I thought it would be, I wouldn't trade places with anyone at all.

February 7, 2006 message continues

Jesus speaks:      I am calling young men to the priesthood and
                        many to the religious life. Circulate My Blue
                        Book messages that My souls will live more deeply
                        this spousal union with Me.

                            I "woo" the souls who come to daily Mass and sit
                        with Me before the tabernacle. Yes people sit in
                        front of T.V.s and movies and ball games and they cannot spend
                        time with the Son of God truly present in the Blessed
                        Sacrament. The Power is in the Eucharist.

                        I watch you all "moving-right-along" like the song -
                        thinking union with each other is in being like
                        the "pack"-

                        Union is dwelling in My Heart and My Mother's heart.
                        Union will be achieved in being the unique person God created you
                        to be, doing all your actions in love according
                        to the Father's will, acting as one.

                            Union is in doing all your actions in purity
                        for the honor and glory of God.

                            Oh I watch you and beg you to listen to the message
                        I deliver here and spread My Movement and My Priestly Newsletter
                        to the ends of the earth. Beginning prayer chapters
                        in all languages praying for the priests, the Church
                        and the world as I have asked Fr. Carter in 1994.

                            Ignore Me no longer.

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

My dear fellow Associate Members,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Messenger:  God is the ultimate Mystery.

Excerpt from Response to God's Love, 
   by Father Edward Carter, S.J.

1 The Mystery of Christ and             Christian Existence

   ...In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).

Don't Question God

December 31, 1993 - Early Morning

Jesus speaks: I am the way, the truth and the life. He who abides in Me will have the light of life. I am Jesus, Son of God. I am the most important thing you do every day. If you are tired, then you are focusing on the wrong things. Be ready, for your Savior awaits you and you are His messenger.

I am Jesus, Savior of the World. I am ready for you. Listen and write My words. I am the light that shines in this dark world. I come to you in the night and you know it is Me. I come in such silence and no one knows that I am surrounded by angels. No one knows so many things that you do not see. Faith is the answer for My brothers. Faith is the answer for you, for when you do not see you still believe. When there is no proof, you are still absolutely sure that I am here. This faith does not go unrewarded. Where there are no proofs, you believe in Me. Blessed are they who have not seen and yet believe.

What I reveal to you here, I do in your heart. My connectedness to you is in your heart. I do not need the senses. Man wants God to be like them. Do not ask to have God explained in human terms. This, My child, is surely in the realm of the spirit. Things of God are not like the things of man. I communicate to you as I am. Others want you to explain to them just how it is.

Your human minds do not fathom the ways of God. To ask My messenger to answer your human questions is to ask her to tell you why stars shine, why a baby is conceived in the mother. In the end there is an element of mystery which is beyond words. Don't ask her to tell you why and how she writes these letters. She writes these letters by the power I have. She writes these letters for Me. She writes these letters because I am dictating them to her for you. She sits, half asleep, and writes such clear lessons in faith. And, you My brothers, ask for explanations? I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I am He Whose boot strap you are unworthy to tie, yet I make Myself so personal to you in Holy Communion. But, little ones, I am God. You cannot comprehend one little speck of My ways. Your human mind is so limited. Do not try to make sense of Me in human terms. I write these letters to bridge a gap between you and Me.

I am this personal to you, but My ways are not your ways and, though I try to make you understand some of the mystery, you cannot in your humanness explain the ways of God. Go ahead and try, child. It is a waste of your time. Do not ask My messengers for explanations that you will understand. You will not ever on this earth understand any of what is happening here. My ways are the ways of God. What is happening here is a miracle.

You ask too many questions and you, in your humanness, expect too many answers. I am the God of your Fathers. They never knew such a God. I was the same God to them and I spoke to similar people to open up Myself to them, but you have been given a great, great gift indeed in these letters. Do you question and question or do you study and become wise. Study My words and accept all I give you with faith.

Be blessed for the faith you show. Your faith will save you in this sick world. I am here, all right. I am in the Eucharist, Body and Soul. Would you like for Me to explain the real presence. How can I, in your earthly form, explain such things to you? Wake up. I give you a gift and you spend your time asking how, why, where, when. I give you this day a gift of My love for you. You will not understand the ways of God but, from these letters, I will become as real as the nose on your face. You can busy yourself asking questions and miss the miracle of My coming to you in these letters.

I come to you, you who are hungry and thirsty and you are waiting for more. To those who listened, much was imparted to them. To those who remained blind, nothing was gained. They try to explain God in human terms. I cannot be explained to your liking, My child. To do so is just silly.

I am God. I am Who Am. I am the Son of God. I am Human, but I am also Divine. You will not understand My divinity. You are a human. Be glad for what you are given. Pray for faith. So many souls will be lost for their stubbornness to have every situation explained. I will not ever be explained to you. If you do not go out on a limb, you will miss the sunset. The glories that you need to seek are to be seen at the end of the limb.

You do not know why, in your heaviness, the limb does not break. You will not understand, in your humanness, My ways. I impart to you many gifts. Do not try to explain My ways in your human ways. It is a futile task. It is impossible. It is not human. It is divine. Accept this miracle on faith and reap such a reward! God-made-man talks to you, not to the messenger. Talks to you! Do you want an explanation? You will not understand My divinity in your humanness, so quit trying and get about the job of listening to My words with your heart.

I will work in your hearts in your quiet time with Me. You do not do this work, either. The more you look for explanations with Me, the more you miss Me. My ways are a mystery. I impart such little glimpses of Myself to you. They are in your hands, to burst forth later. Now you busy yourself with the work at hand. Come in silence and make yourself selfless. I will be the giver of many gifts. If you decide what gifts I will give you, you have missed the boat entirely. I give to you as you need.

You are My babies. Babies do not tell their mothers of their needs. They wait and they are fed. They wait and they are changed. They wait and they are loved. Wait on the Lord. What you get is coming from Him Who loves you. I know all things. I know your needs. I am like the loving mother. I am God. I know your every need. Come and soak in the sunlight. Quit your questioning. Quit your asking for such things that you may never need. Turn yourself over like little babies, freshly born. They have soft little cries and are very dependent on their mothers. Come with your little cries but know that I, in the end, will give you all you need.

Don't try to control Me. I am God. Who are you to come and think you will tell God what you need. I see the whole picture and I comprehend it as God. You see as in a tunnel and think you know so much. Come and make yourself putty in My hands. Remain formless and unattached. Remain a baby. Take all I give and do not ask questions. It is in your submissiveness to Me that you grow in Me. I dwell in you and I can operate from you. In your willfulness, I cannot come in. How can God act in a soul who is in control. If you are operating, I cannot.

Oh, you have much to learn, but it is revealed in these letters how to become creatures of God. Most of your work is in submission to Me. Your biggest job is to die to yourself and live in Me. I am all powerful and I want to dwell in your breast. I want to possess your soul. I want to impart to you My love. I want to fill you to the brim with the things of God. All that is in the way of My working in you is yourself. If you hold onto self, you get yourself. To be of Me, you must let go of yourself. Come to My altar and sit silently before Me. Let Me work in your soul. Look for Me.

I give to you according to your needs. I answer you according to the things of God. I give you gifts that you never knew possible, because your mind cannot imagine the things of God. Do not limit your soul by being in charge. The soul is in the image of God and God must deal with it. To try to feed your soul humanness is useless. Only God can feed the soul. Come to Him and let Him have full reign in your hearts. Don't try to decide what you need. You don't know of the needs of a soul. God is so good and so loving and He wants to give you what you need. Surrender to Him and be open to all He wants to do in you.

Be open to the things of the spirit. Put your human ways aside when you are dealing with God. They certainly keep you away from God. Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, what glories await him who loves and serves the Lord. For the things of God, go to God. Then listen and make yourself empty so He can fill you to do His work. Stay out of it. Do not talk. Do not plead. Be quiet and let Him work in your soul and you will know such feats that only God could perform. If you look for human things, you get human things. If you are looking for God, let go of your humanness and let Him give you from the realm of the supernatural. It takes surrender and faith.

Be of a clean mind, America. Your faith will make you whole. All other roads lead to idle pursuits and you miss the golden mystery of your God!

Excerpt from December 12, 1998

Messenger: I watched her as she appeared over 500 times, Our Lady of Light, wailing and crying every time we would meditate on "The Finding in the Temple" in the rosary. Swords pierced my heart, for she wailed aloud for the children of the earth and begged me, begged me to spread the consecration and the rosary to the youth of America and the world. Now I am in anguishing pain helping to spiritually bring forth the children, Mary's little precious ones, into greater spiritual light. I beg, I plead as I did August 12, 1996. Mary appeared all night on that date and I prostrated myself and begged and begged to the Father to help me.

She appeared for several hours August 13, 1996, in the early morning. It was dark outside both times. I cried aloud in pain as I looked at the Sorrowful Mother all lighted up with a sword in her Heart. Her face was sweet and beautiful and my heart hurt so bad I felt I could not suffer the pain.

I begged and cried to the Father as never before that night. I laid on the floor and I said, "I know this is the truth, I believe, help me, help me, help me."

Soon there would be a major event in the Movement. Our existing president, John W., took office at this time, and a beautiful woman, Mary R., came in to help with the school rosary program. I believed that the Father had answered my anguishing cries to Him that night.

On the Eve of August 13, 1996, before I went to Tom's farm for the rosary, I was in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. The Eucharist was exposed and it was about 5:00 p.m. I arrived to pray and the whole front of the room where Mary had appeared so many times was filled with a celestial aura, golden, as a golden veil, and she was adorned behind this veil. I saw light and beauty and the Consecrated Host in the monstrance before me. She appeared in such beauty and I cried. I cried and did not want to leave to go to the rosary. I experienced the presence of God there, and the beauty was so great I was awestruck and paralyzed, enveloped in ecstasy. I experienced His Presence, and saw the most glorious light.

I went to the rosary then. The mikes were not in my car, so I thought. Emily and Cathy had to go to Radio Shack to get some equipment. The people were lined up on the hill overlooking the river and I thought, "Oh no, what now, no equipment." Dan N. was there for the first time and John W. was at Tom's farm for the first time. We began and I wondered what the people thought, for we started with the Shepherds of Christ prayers and there were no mikes. I asked John W. (our now existing president) to pray the Seven Sorrows. Mary R. saw a blue light around his head. I did not know what was taking place as we prayed. Later, two people sitting in different places, came forward and accounted certain special events of that night. Father Carter said that these should be documented.

December 31, 1994 - Very Early Morning at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center

Jesus Appearing as the Resurrected Lord, All White, Sitting Next to Where Mary Appeared.

So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too should begin living a new life.

    But we believe that, if we died with Christ, then we shall live with him too. We know that Christ has been raised from the dead and will never die again. Death has no power over him any more. Romans 6: 4, 9

And after this perishable nature has put on imperishability and this mortal nature has put on immortality, then will the words of scripture come true: Death is swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin comes from the Law. Thank God, then, for giving us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Corinthians 15: 54 -58

Messenger:  I love my son so dearly, there is such a connection in my heart to him. He is ten years old. I know him in my heart from a little baby, when I carried him in my womb. His whole life is recorded in my memory.

    Mary's heart knew her Son. The anguish at losing Him in the temple, the anguish, how her heart was in such pain, it is inexpressible in words.

    As is the joy, inexpressible for me of the resurrected Lord to appear to me next to the Sorrowful Mother. It is such joy for me to meditate on this mystery to remember the vision, to see Him clothed in white, His body so beautiful. I saw Him so beautiful, sitting all in white next to where Mary appeared triumphant! Jesus rose from the dead. I cannot express this magnificent sight of Jesus in His resurrected beauty as I saw Him.

    Note today December 28, 2005: (I recalled the vision of December 5th, 96 when He appeared to me at the point of death hanging on the cross.)

    Death - Resurrection

    Why do we worry about so many things Jesus is with us. He shows us His death and resurrection.

    God took the nature of a slave, He put on a human body, He was born a baby, He died by crucifixion.

Jesus:  Do not fear, there is fear in your heart, I am with you, surrender totally to the will of the Father.

Messenger:  I see the risen Lord as He sits all in white in a chair, here, next to the Sorrowful Mother. When I saw Jesus in the parking lot He was wearing a white tunic looking like the resurrected Lord with His hands outstretched.

    I want to get in touch with Jesus. He took on a human body, He lived, He died, He rose.

    Jesus is God, He is Lord over all the earth and He took on a human form for greatest love of us. He was born a baby. He was carried in His Mother's womb. Oh Holy dwelling place of God, Mary's womb, Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God.

Sing: Oh Holy Mary

Philippians 2: 7-8

But he emptied himself, 
taking the form of a slave, 
becoming as human beings are; 
and being in every way 
    like a human being, 
he was humbler yet, 
even to accepting death, 
    death on a cross. 

 

Sing the Song of Jesus Christ

Now having met together, they asked him, ‘Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel?’ He replied, ‘It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth’s remotest end.’ 

    As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight. They were still staring into the sky as he went, when suddenly two men in white were standing beside them, and they said, ‘Why are you Galileans standing here looking into the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way as you have seen him go to heaven.’  Acts 1: 6-11

Messenger:  The Apostles' hearts were in such sorrow to see Jesus go, their eyes in awe to see Jesus go to heaven.

God the Father:  I am pleased, My daughter, with the work you are doing, how I love you, My beloved one.

    Do not focus on yourself, focus on the other, always the other, Jesus focused on the other.

Messenger:  Think of the love of the Trinity -- it is a mystery -- the love of the Trinity.
       

Excerpt from Response to God's Love Chapter 1   by Father Edward Carter, S.J.

   ...In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).

  

Messenger:  The more I realize the love of the Triune God, love of Mary, the love of the angels and saints -- I am in awe!!

    Jesus takes care of my needs. Why should I talk about myself or anyone else when we could be talking about the mystery of God.

    Why talk about incidentals when I could be talking about God.

    He is Divine, He is who I love, that is it, when people are discussing the napkins, I want to talk about Jesus.

    

Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles

When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves. Acts 2: 1-4

Messenger:  The Apostles were transformed from fear to fearlessness. 

Now there were devout men living in Jerusalem from every nation under heaven, and at this sound they all assembled, and each one was bewildered to hear these men speaking his own language. They were amazed and astonished. ‘Surely,’ they said, ‘all these men speaking are Galileans? How does it happen that each of us hears them in his own native language?  Acts 2: 5-8

 

Mary Went Up into Heaven

Sing:  Immaculate Mary

Sing:  On This Day Oh Beautiful Mother   

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?’ The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God. And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God.’ Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her.  Luke 1: 26-38

Now it happened that at this time Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be made of the whole inhabited world. This census—the first—took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria, and everyone went to be registered, each to his own town. So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in Galilee for Judaea, to David’s town called Bethlehem, since he was of David’s House and line, in order to be registered together with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. Now it happened that, while they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to a son, her first–born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the living–space.  Luke 2:1-7

 

   

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.  John 19: 25-27

     

From the Glorious Rosary Aves

3.  R. Imagine her joy to hear the choirs of angelic voices! Imagine her joy to see the angels and saints praising God!

4.  R. She-who carried the baby Jesus in her womb, who held Him in her arms, who walked by His side during the Passion, who stood under His cross, who held His lifeless body and watched Him locked in the tomb-was now crowned Queen of Heaven, forever to reign in the court of heaven with her beloved Son.   

 

        Mary is Crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. Revelation 12: 1

        Sing:  Hail Holy Queen 

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'

Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."' Then he said to me, 'It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.'

One of the seven angels that had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came to speak to me and said, 'Come here and I will show you the bride that the Lamb has married.' In the spirit, he carried me to the top of a very high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God.  Revelation 21: 1-10

The one who attests these things says: I am indeed coming soon. Amen; come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20

Sing: A Song from Jesus

Cling to Me

May 13, 1993 

Jesus speaks: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.

    You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.

    When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.

    I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.

    I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.
