Messenger:   Every day I pray the rosary.

                      I at least meditate and pray for my
                         particular needs.

                      If I pray for my family I meditate
                         on that set of mysteries and
                         think of my family, deep in
                         my heart, I offer the rosary
                         for them.

                      I try to do all 20 mysteries every day.
                         I pray quickly to myself, but
                         it is so important to think
                         of each mystery.

                      I offer up the mysteries for all my
                         needs then I let go of the
                         problem and give it to Jesus.

                      I am a babe in the arms of my
                         beloved Mother.

Jesus speaks:     To you My beloved son
                          I love you so much. This is my
                          message for you.

                          strive to be pure —
                          trust in Me. I am always with
                          you. Do not give into the guilt
                          satan wants to place in your
                          mind.

                          TRUST IN ME —

                          DO NOT FEAR —

                          I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS —

                          LIVE TO DO GOD'S WILL —

                          DO NOT FEAR —

                          YOU ARE MY SON —

                          TRUST IN ME —

                          BE AT PEACE —

                          LOVE ME

                          I WANT YOUR LOVE —

                         You must pray for grace —

                         You will pray for this grace

                             to fight off satan's attacks —

                         I am with you —

                         I love you so much —

                         Help promote My Kingdom

Sirach 17: 1-15

  The Lord fashioned human beings from the earth, to consign them back to it. He gave them so many days and so much time, he gave them authority over everything on earth. He clothed them in strength, like himself, and made them in his own image. He filled all living things with dread of human beings, making them masters over beasts and birds. He made them a tongue, eyes and ears, and gave them a heart to think with. He filled them with knowledge and intelligence, and showed them what was good and what evil. He put his own light in their hearts to show them the magnificence of his works, so that they would praise his holy name as they told of his magnificent works. He set knowledge before them, he endowed them with the law of life. He established an eternal covenant with them, and revealed his judgements to them. Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory, and their ears heard the glory of his voice. He said to them, ‘Beware of all wrong–doing’; he gave each a commandment concerning his neighbour.

The divine judge

Their ways are always under his eye, they cannot be hidden from his sight.

  

Mark 10: 13-16

People were bringing little children to him, for him to touch them. The disciples scolded them, but when Jesus saw this he was indignant and said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me; do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of God belongs. In truth I tell you, anyone who does not welcome the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.’ Then he embraced them, laid his hands on them and gave them his blessing.

   

Jesus speaks:    The world cries out in pain.

                         I have given you My Movement to help
                             the pain of My people.

                         I give you My Blue Book Messages
                             My messages of love.

                         My Blue Books will lead people to Me
                             in the Holy Eucharist.

                         The True Presence in the Eucharist
                             is being attacked.

                         I give you My Movement, the Apostles
                             of the Eucharistic Heart of
                             Jesus, to pray for My Beloved
                             Priests.

                         People need to live as Apostles of the
                             Eucharistic Heart.                        
                         here is My message I gave to Fr. Carter

    

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.

Jesus speaks:    My beloved, a woman was a sister, a religious for
                             25 years on the 26th year—on the
                             anniversary of her entrance into the convent,
                             the Blessed Mother's birthday she
                             committed suicide.

                         When she cried out from the convent about
                             the problems they sent her to a
                             house for recovery and a hospital —
                             at the hospital large doses of
                             shock treatment were administered
                             to her brain.

                         My people, My priests and sisters are
                             crying out for My Blue Book
                             messages.

                         I have asked a Bishop to see to the translation of
                             My Blue Book II, I have asked
                             for the imprimatur, this was in 1995.

                         Your Church is bleeding and you ignore
                             our images on the building.

                         I cry bloody tears for those who are not
                             helped and bleeding because
                             you ignore Me.

                         These are My books and messages given
                             to help a sick world.

                         I send the mighty medicine.

                         I beg for funds and help with this mailing

                             to get My Prayer Manual & Spirituality
                             Handbook to My Priests.

                         My Mother appeared at the old seminary
                             over 500 times and we were ignored.

  

   

    

March 1, 2003 message continues

Jesus speaks:   My children were never reached with
                             the rosary meditations as I asked,
                             nor the consecration cards.

                         When Mary appeared on the window,
                             she was ignored —
                             for over 6 years she has been
                             ignored —

                         Here are My messages given to you
                         through My beloved holy Jesuit priest
                             Father Carter

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:

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

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

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

The Birth of the Full Ministries
of the Shepherds of Christ

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

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

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

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

Mary speaks:   Your children are bleeding.

                         Here is the Mighty Medicine for the
                             sick world.

    

     

   

   

   

   

  

   

 

 

Messenger:    This message is not to cause anybody any fear, 
                            but to realize Our Lord says this is very serious. 

                            It is not to cause fear.

    

Given March 28, 2000 after 6:20 prayers.

Messenger:  What our souls crave is Him.

We can look and search everywhere, even in doing work for Him, ultimately it is His presence we desire, it is Him, not a job, a girlfriend, TV, golf, food, money, a car, cruises and trips. What we seek is Him.

Jesus speaks:  On Tuesdays tremendous graces are giving for spiritual healing - tell all apostles not to miss Tuesdays for healing.

Grace is outpoured to you when you go to the tabernacle.

You cannot do this work without a daily dose of extra grace.

I give apostles the way of life so that tremendous grace will be released so they can endure the struggles with Satan.

Messenger:  I just want Him so much. I just long to be with Him before the tabernacle.

Jesus speaks:  In the three days of darkness you will be connected to all your comrades in your hearts through consecration, through dwelling in Our Hearts.

You will pray, all day, while others will panic and fear and be at a point at which they cannot take it.

Mental torments are anguishing. Get the rosary in the hands of all. It is a comfort.

Get beeswax candles. Be prepared, for the Bridegroom comes in the night to take the bride in, home with Him.

The Home being the interchamber of the Heart of the Divine Bridegroom.

Mary speaks:  I am the spouse of the Lamb,

I am Mary your Mother.

Ours is a union of oneness.

You are to dwell in Our Hearts.

Come to me, my children, I will take you home to the Heart of My Son, Jesus.

I am Mary Immaculate, your Mother, Mary. I appear to you as the Lady Clothed with the Sun.

Picture of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

I Wake You, Knocking

March 1, 1994 3:57a.m.

Note: I was awakened by noise that sounded like soft knocking. It continued until I got up.

Jesus: I am Jesus, little one. I have awakened you to deliver this message. Your days seem to go by so swiftly and you feel as though you do not get anything accomplished. You are feeling as if you follow yourself around. This is all the frustration of this end time. It seems that you and the world are totally disconnected. It seems as if you are compelled to do only My work.

When you pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus, I act through you as I desire. Your days are moving so swiftly and you are compelled to live only for the love of Me.

What else can you do and know Me as you do? You are following My way. I need you at this very moment to act for Me. Tell all to come and be with Me and pray the prayer for union with Me. I want to use each person to do My work. You are in a state of action. Things need to get done. All need to know My intimate love and know I am truly alive and dwelling in your midst. Listen to My commands to do My will.

You passed your test today. Do as I command even when you do not want to. I need your strict obedience. I will continue to prompt you and I need you to obey immediately. Do not tarry when I give you a command. All I tell you to do is crucial to My work. I am teaching you strict obedience. It is by your obedience, and the obedience of all who are fixed to Me, that My work will be done.

I come, I knock. I want these messages out, and now. Time is short. Do not tarry. I am giving you the mighty medicine. I do not care how, but I want My letters read by all. Do not spare the cost. Pass them out at the Center. The people there are My soldiers. I need them in a state of readiness to do all I command. You must obey everything I tell you. The senseless things I commanded you to do this day are not senseless. They are part of My plan.

My intimate love and the fire of My love, the union I have with each person at the Center, will light the dark world. They need to have their arms to fight the battle that is coming. Your arms are hearts filled with My love. This is only obtained from Me after Communion and in front of the tabernacle. Each person has an important role to play. Each person is a mighty force when that person is equipped with My love. Each person will be called to strict obedience. Preach doing My will.

These messages are My calls to action. I want all to respond with action. They need to be called to union with Me and compliance with My will. All need to be involved in the work at hand. Circulate My messages. They need My messages. I am talking to them personally in these messages.

My time is short. Each day lost is a large amount of time. I wake you, knocking, so you will do as I tell you here. Do not question. I want My messages out. This is the mighty medicine. You are the dispensers.

I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I am here to call all to a state of action, so sit up in your seats and focus entirely on Me and My work here. I am telling you all you need to know. These letters will change men's hearts. You must get these letters into the hands of the beloved ones.

I want union with Me. This is the force that will fight the cold war. This is what will change the hardened hearts.

Preach the love of Jesus to your flock. They will carry the light to the world. Their hearts will shine the brightest light in the darkness. This light is powered by My intense love enkindled in their hearts when they are busy about their union with Me.

I need all selfless and unattached to this world and totally in love with My Sacred Heart. My heart is the power you plug into when you come to Me. I have all the power. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am on fire for love of you. My love affair waits for My beloved. You hold the key to unlock this source of power. Preach about My love. Tell them about doing My will. Tell them about listening in the silence to My promptings in their hearts. Listen to all I tell you in the silence. Develop an intense love affair with the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

I am calling you to action and only I have your supplies. You are My soldiers in a cold war. Your supplies are your hearts, powered by My love. You must come and sit with Me to be charged. Sit in silence and read My letters of love in front of the tabernacle. I am the Almighty God. I have all you need. Come to Me and I will make you fishers of men. I will weave a blanket with all My beloved ones to cover the cold, scared earth.

My Sacred Heart is on fire with power and love. Nothing compares to the power of Jesus. I am God. I am mighty. I have all you need. Come and receive your supplies. So simple, you say? I, God, can say in a few words what others cannot say in volumes. I can do in a second what you cannot do in years. I am the Almighty God. When you stay fixed in Me, you have all the answers. Plug into My Sacred Heart. Come to Me for your power and your love.

I am alive this very day and I am in your midst. You tarry too long. You wander down roads and look for more answers when I am God and I am speaking to you here and now. I know all things. I give you all you need. Your answers are found in the quiet moments in front of the tabernacle and after Communion.

I am the Lord your God. I gave My life for love of you. All I give you is out of greatest love from Him Who laid down His life for love of You. If you come to Me, I give You this same love this very day! My heart is on fire with love of you. Come and let Me fill you. You will be powered by the mightiest force and your light will shine the brightest, for I am the Lord, God.

Why do you go to a barren desert when I give you all you need? Why search after idle pursuits when I, God, talk to you? Do you not trust that I have all the power? Do you think that I, God, need your help? I am the same Jesus Who came to earth and gave My life for you. What makes you think I would not send you letters this very day? If I, God, came and was born a human being for great love of you, do you not think I would send you a mighty medicine to heal My sick ones?

I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I live this day. I am in your midst. I died a brutal death and I come to you. I am Almighty. I can do all things and I am here, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, in Communion. What more could heal you than the Body of Christ in your breast? I, God, come to you present in Holy Communion! I am God and I come to you and you run from My church to do what? I am so upset for the indifference for Communion.

You are receiving Jesus, the Son of God, and that where I am, so is God, for we are Three-in-One, and where Jesus is, so is Mary--and you leave with your rattling tongues when I, the Divine Healer, come to you? God comes to you. God sits in the tabernacle and waits for you. Jesus, Who died a brutal death for love of you, sits in the tabernacle and waits for you and He sits all alone. I have all you need. I am God. I am almighty. I have all the power. You search endless paths. You look for answers from people who know no more than you, while I, God, wait with all the power and might!

So simple, so simple! You are making it all so hard. My love affair waits for you. That is all you need. I have all the power. Come to Me and be filled with everything! I am Jesus, Son of God. I come and dwell in your hearts in Communion and you run away when God is in your breasts. You are willful. You want to do things your way. You do not want to surrender. You think you have to be busy about your tasks. You want to do it your way, in your time. You want to think and deliberate. You want what you want.

I am God. I am telling you where all your answers are. They are found from God. Your vision is so limited. I know all things. I come, I dwell in your midst. You receive Me, God, in Communion and you wander around like blind men!

Come to God. I have all the power. I have the brightest light to light your path. You want to do it yourself. You do not know the ways of God. When you do it, you do it. When I do it, I am God and it is a success! Your job is to enkindle a strong love affair with Me and operate from what I prompt you to do. Such insights I give you. You will never figure them out without Me. Come to Me, My little ones. I furnish your starved souls. I give you all the insights you need. Pray to the Holy Spirit daily for His gifts. Pray the Our Father. Come to Jesus in Communion. Here is the powerhouse.

It all comes down to one thing, union with Jesus, love from the heart. Action, love, an ardent, on-fire, love affair with Jesus, the Son of God, your bridegroom, awaits and you keep us apart. Come and get your supplies. You are going into war without your ammunition if you do not come to Me. You are at war in this world and your arms are hearts filled with My love.

Surrender your willful ways and heed My direction here. Become selfless, trust in Me and obey My commands to let go. Be with Me after Communion and in front of the tabernacle. Not five minutes, for I give you 24 hours each day, but will you not sit one hour with Me? Be silent. Read My messages part of the time. I am speaking to you! Such power in front of the tabernacle! Carry My picture in your pocket. I am your lover. Look at Me. Your lover waits. Look at the picture during the day. Stay in constant union with Me. Pray the prayer for union with Jesus. I love you.

You hold the key to opening men's hearts to My love. Will you comply with My message here? Read each message and be busy about our love affair. I love you so much. You have pleased Me to speak of My love. I am your loving Jesus and My heart is on fire for love of You!

The Joyful Mysteries

  

  

The Annunciation

  1. Our heavenly Mother Mary, gave messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions. She told Jacinta, one of the three visionaries at Fatima...

        "'Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her.'27
        "This last message offers us an excellent opportunity to summarize the Fatima message. It tells us "that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
        "At the center of the veneration for which Our Lord calls is the act of consecration to His Sacred Heart and to Mary's Immaculate Heart."
28

  1. You should not be afraid, for Jesus and Mary are with us. They are watching us, and they are helping us in everything that we do. God is in charge.
  2. So we come to this rosary to gather and to pray as the Junior Shepherds of Christ Associates. It is in this rosary that we will receive help to not be afraid, to help to take the light to the dark world.
  3. It is in going through our Mother Mary that we will be formed more and more into the image and the likeness of Jesus.
  4. The Child Jesus was formed in the womb of the Virgin Mary, through the power of the Holy Spirit. When we go to the heart of Mary, the spiritual womb, we are transformed more and more to be children of light.
  5. How Mary loves the children of this world. She guards them and mothers them more than any earthly mother. Mary guards us with her motherly care, and watches over us, and wants to lead us to the Heart of her Son, Jesus.
  6. Christ showed us. He was born of the Virgin Mary. He came into this world in the Virgin Mary. We too must go to the Virgin Mary in order to have this close union with God. Mary is the gateway into the Heart of Jesus.
  7. At Fatima, Mary spoke to the children and she called them her children. We must realize that she is calling us, her children, to the Heart of her Son, Jesus.
  8. What of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary? The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are our refuge in this life. They are the Hearts of true love. It is in giving our hearts to Jesus and to Mary that we will have hearts filled with holy love.
  9. So much of this world has turned to hearts that are cold. Jesus wants love, burning love, from the children of this world, and He is given a cold heart.

  

  

  

   

   

The Visitation

  1. We carry Jesus within our hearts.
  2. When we visit others we bring the Jesus that lives within us to the other person. We embrace Jesus when we embrace each other in love.
  3. Mary went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth. The Child Jesus was within Mary's womb. We carry Jesus within ourselves. We receive Him in the Holy Eucharist. When we go to Communion, we go to our pews, and we have the Son of God within our hearts. He is as present in our hearts as He was when He was carried in the womb of Mary, when she went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth.
  4. We do not even realize the great gifts God has given to us when He gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist. Think of what it would be like if He took away the gift of the Holy Eucharist, if He took away the Mass.
  5. We must be strong. We are the youth that are being sent to go into a world that has turned sinful. Some have turned their backs on God. We must realize, that we must be strong. It is hard in this world, but we must go to Jesus. We must spend time with Him everyday.
  6. Jesus is the Son of Mary. Jesus and Mary are with us.
  7. Hail Mary...
  8. We must listen to the words of scripture, the words that we are given as teachings. We must pray to the Holy Spirit that we will comprehend the word of God, for God is speaking to us in His word. The Holy Spirit gives us understanding into these words that we will know God and love Him.
  9. Mary brought forth an infant child. She watched Him. She cared for Him. All through His life, she stayed close to Him. All through our lives our Mother Mary is forever by our sides.
  10. We must be strong, for we are being called by God. It is not a myth. He is calling each one of us to be leaders to help to lead the other youth to God.

  

  

  

  

  

The Birth of Jesus

  1. The heavenly Father allowed Mary to appear at Fatima, and she told us what we must do. She told us that in order to have peace in the world we must give our hearts to her and give our hearts to her Son, Jesus.
  2. She said that if we did not pay attention to her there would be a great war. Man ignored the pleading of Our Lady at Fatima, and there was World War II. Many, many, many people were killed. They suffered a brutal death.
  3. At Fatima, she showed the three young children the fires of hell. They were very young, and they said they would have died of fright had Our Lady not assured them that they would not go to hell.
  4. Why would Our Lady appear to children and show children the souls suffering in the fires in hell?
  5. Mary appears at Fatima, and she is ignored. To this very day we do not do what Mary told us to do at Fatima. At Fatima she promised in the end the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign, and her heart will triumph.

  6. Jesus Christ came into the world in the womb of the Virgin Mary. He came as the Light of the World. He will be, in this great era of peace to come, the King and the center of all hearts.
  7. He came in poverty. He was born in a stable. He came to show us that the great riches are not found in the riches of the world, that they are found in Him. He is the King, but He comes into this world in poverty.
  8. The greatest riches are found in the Heart of Christ.
  9. It is so simple. Why do we not love God, why do we not love one another?
  10. Why does man think that he can ignore God, that he is in control, that he can do his own will?

  

  

  

   

The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

  1. The old man Simeon said in the Temple that "Look, he is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed-" (Lk. 2:34)
  2. And he said to Mary, "and a sword will pierce your soul too-so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare." (Lk. 2:35)
  3. Mary is the Mother of all the children of the world, and look how she is treated by so many of her children. Many abuse her name. They abuse her images. They do not love her. She is their Mother, and they do not love her.
  4. Mary told us at Fatima what we must do in order to have peace in this world. The fourth commandment tells us we must obey our earthly mother. What makes us think that we do not have to obey our heavenly Mother?
  5. She said that man was sinful and that he was offending God. She said to Jacinta before she died, "I can no longer restrain the hand of my Divine Son from striking the world with just punishment for its many crimes." 29
  6. Here it is 80 years after Fatima and we have disobeyed our heavenly Mother and the wishes that she gave to us when she appeared at Fatima. After World War II you would think that everyone would have heeded her message of Fatima.
  7. Satan goes about the earth as a roaring lion, searching for souls to devour. When Mary showed the children at Fatima the fires of hell, she was telling them that hell was a reality and that we must go about the world and try to lead others to her Son.

  8. What if you were one of the children at Fatima and our Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to you, in her light, and in her beauty? What if she said, "You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go...If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed..." 30 What if she showed you the fires of hell and the souls suffering? Would you help?
  9. Would your life change if Mary appeared to you and told you these things? Would you go and spend your life trying to tell others about the vision that she gave to you? Would you take this with the utmost urgency? If Mary was appearing to you, would you do something to heed her warnings?
  10. Remember Noah and the Ark? The people were sinning up to the time that Noah entered the Ark.

  

  

  

  

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

  1. They were warned. They were warned over and over again of their sinfulness. They were told that they must change, but they would not obey and so God told Noah to build an Ark.
  2. And all men were destroyed, but those men on Noah's Ark.
  3. Mary searched for the Child Jesus in the Temple. Today, there are many searching for those things that will make them happy. We will not be happy if our lives are not rooted in God.
  4. We must go to Mary in order to be close to God. As Noah went into the Ark for his refuge, we to must go to the heart of Mary. She is the Ark that will lead us to the Heart of her Son.
  5. So many this day are sinning. They must go to the temple. Mary is the temple that we go to, in order to find God. We go to her spiritual womb, to her heart, and we find God. We must do as Our Lady told us at Fatima, and give Mary our hearts. All through the day we give Mary our hearts and Jesus our hearts.
  6. This is our job, to spread the Fatima message, to do what Mary has told us to do at Fatima, to give Jesus our hearts, and to tell all the other youth that we must do what Mary said at Fatima. We must give Mary and Jesus our hearts, pray the rosary, go to church on first Saturday, and tell Jesus and Mary we are sorry for the sins in this world.
  7. Mary's peace plan is so simple to follow. We have disobeyed our heavenly Mother at Fatima. Mary appeared on July 13, 1917 to the three children. Mary showed the three children a vision of hell. She told them,

"You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace."31

We must obey Mary. The plan is the same plan today. We must reach the youth of this world with the consecration We must tell them to give their hearts to Jesus and Mary.

  1. Mary is the temple. We will find Jesus if we go to Mary.

Song: "Oh Holy Dwelling Place of God..."

  1. We have been given great gifts from Our Lord and from Our Lady. We want to be leaders, to lead other young people to Jesus and to Mary. We must thank them for the gifts we are given, for what we do with our lives will make the difference to so many souls. She showed the children the souls in hell. Visualize this as clearly as possible in your mind. What you do to help to spread the message of His love will make the difference to so many souls.
  2. Can we truly look at our Mother, Mary? See her before us, adorned in the greatest light. See her glistening? Look into her beautiful face, into her eyes. Tell her we must help to lead her children to the Heart of her Son, that you will help her to help others so they will not be lost to the fires of hell forever.

The Mysteries of Light

       

   

Baptism of Jesus

1. John 1: 2-3

He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things came into being, not one thing came into being except through him.

2. John 1: 4

What has come into being in him was life, life that was the light of men;

3. John 1: 5

and light shines in darkness, and darkness could not overpower it.

4. John 1: 6

A man came, sent by God. His name was John.

5. John 1: 7-8

He came as a witness, to bear witness to the light, so that everyone might believe through him. He was not the light, he was to bear witness to the light.

6.  Matthew 3:13

Then Jesus appeared: he came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John.

7. Matthew 3:14

John tried to dissuade him, with the words, ‘It is I who need baptism from you, and yet you come to me!’

8. Matthew 3:15

But Jesus replied, ‘Leave it like this for the time being; it is fitting that we should, in this way, do all that uprightness demands.’ Then John gave in to him.

9. Matthew 3:16

And when Jesus had been baptised he at once came up from the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on him.

10. Matthew 3: 17

And suddenly there was a voice from heaven, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.’

 

   

   

   

   


  

  

Marriage at Cana

1. John 2: 1

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee.

2. John 2: 1-2

The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited.

3. John 2: 3

And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother  of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’

4. John 2: 4

Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’

5. John 2: 5

His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.

6. John 2: 6

There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons.

7. John 2: 7

Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim.

8. John 2: 8

Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’

9. John 2: 9-10

They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’

10. John 2: 11

This was the first of Jesus’ signs: it was at Cana in Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

  

  

  

  


  

Kingdom of God

1. Luke 1:33

    he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign
    will have no end.

2. John 18: 36-37

Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong here.’ Pilate said, ‘So, then you are a king?’ Jesus answered, ‘It is you who say that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.’

3. John 19: 10-12

Pilate then said to him, ‘Are you refusing to speak to me? Surely you know I have power to release you and I have power to crucify you?’ Jesus replied, ‘You would have no power over me at all if it had not been given you from above; that is why the man who handed me over to you has the greater guilt.’

From that moment Pilate was anxious to set him free, but the Jews shouted, ‘If you set him free you are no friend of Caesar’s; anyone who makes himself king is defying Caesar.’

4. John 19: 14-16

It was the Day of Preparation, about the sixth hour. ‘Here is your king,’ said Pilate to the Jews. But they shouted, ‘Away with him, away with him, crucify him.’ Pilate said, ‘Shall I crucify your king?’ The chief priests answered, ‘We have no king except Caesar.’ So at that Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.

5. Matthew 18: 1-5

At this time the disciples came to Jesus and said, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ So he called a little child to him whom he set among them. Then he said, ‘In truth I tell you, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. And so, the one who makes himself as little as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven.

‘Anyone who welcomes one little child like this in my name welcomes me.'

6. Matthew 19: 14-15

but Jesus said, ‘Let the little children alone, and do not stop them from coming to me; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of Heaven belongs.’ Then he laid his hands on them and went on his way.

7. Mark 12: 34

Jesus, seeing how wisely he had spoken, said, ‘You are not far from the kingdom of God.’ And after that no one dared to question him any more.

8. Luke 9: 62

Jesus said to him, ‘Once the hand is laid on the plough, no one who looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.’

9. John 3: 3

Jesus answered: In all truth I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.

10. John 3: 5-6

Jesus replied: In all truth I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born through water and the Spirit; what is born of human nature is human; what is born of the Spirit is spirit.

   

  

  

  

   

Transfiguration

1. Matthew 17: 1

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain by themselves.  

2. Matthew 17: 2

There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as dazzling as light. 

3. Matthew 17: 3

And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them; they were talking with him. 

4. Matthew 17: 4

Then Peter spoke to Jesus. ‘Lord,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; if you want me to, I will make three shelters here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ 

5. Matthew 17: 5

He was still speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and suddenly from the cloud there came a voice which said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’ 

6. Matthew 17: 6

When they heard this, the disciples fell on their faces, overcome with fear. 

7. Matthew 17: 7

But Jesus came up and touched them, saying, ‘Stand up, do not be afraid.’ 

8. Matthew 17: 8

And when they raised their eyes they saw no one but Jesus.

9. Matthew 17: 9

As they came down from the mountain Jesus gave them this order, ‘Tell no one about this vision until the Son of man has risen from the dead.’

10. Matthew 17: 12

however, I tell you that Elijah has come already and they did not recognise him but treated him as they pleased; and the Son of man will suffer similarly at their hands.’

   

   

   

  

  

The Last Supper

1. Luke 22: 14

When the time came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him.

2. Luke 22: 15

And he said to them, ‘I have ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 

3. Luke 22: 16

because, I tell you, I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’

4. Luke 22: 17

    Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and share it among you,

5. Luke 22: 18 

because from now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.’

6. Luke 22: 19

The institution of the Eucharist

    Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ 

7. Luke 22: 20

He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.

8. Matthew 26: 26

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. ‘Take it and eat,’ he said, ‘this is my body.’

9. Matthew 26: 27-28

Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, ‘Drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

10. Matthew 26: 29

From now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in the kingdom of my Father.’

The Sorrowful Mysteries

    

  

The Agony in the Garden

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

  

  

  

  

Jesus Is Scourged at the Pillar

  1. His Heart is on fire for each one of His precious souls. He longs for us to come and be with Him. As He suffered all through His Passion, the greatest agonies were not the agonies that He suffered to His body, the scourging at the pillar and the tearing of His flesh. The greatest agonies were those that He endured to His most tender Heart, which is a Heart of love waiting to share with each and every one of his precious souls. He calls us this day to spread His love to the world that is in pain. He calls us to be His soldiers, to spread the love of His Most Sacred Heart to the souls that are suffering and in pain. We are His mighty warriors in a world that is cold and has forgotten God. We must be strong soldiers, for this world will persecute us as they persecuted Him. He is sending us into the world, armed with hearts filled with His love, to spread His love along the highways and the byways in every corner of this earth.
  2. They tied Him to a pillar and they beat His flesh. His once unblemished back was now an open wound. He was full of blood, but His worst agony was the agony that He endured in His Most Sacred Heart, the Heart which gives us a sharing in His divine love and His divine life, is rejected by many and is treated coldly.
  3. He loved Judas so dearly and Judas betrayed Him with a kiss. How many of His dear souls come to Him with hearts that are hot and cold? He wants us to come to Him with hearts full of love. We must have hearts that will unite with His, that will become one with His, and that will give to this world His love for our hurting brothers. He was scourged at the pillar for love of our brothers. Listen to the blows that they gave to Him. They are the blows that He suffered for our brothers. How can we treat our brothers badly when they tore His flesh, and out of greatest love He withstood all this treatment for our beloved brothers?
  4. He gave His all. He stood there. He was beaten. He was bruised. He was bloodied. He came to show you the way, the way to love. They persecuted Him. He loved those who persecuted Him. We must be kind in our hearts. We must give love. He is a burning furnace of endless love. His power never goes out. His love is never spent. Come to His Most Sacred Heart and He will fill your heart with endless love.
  5. Song: "Lord, let me walk that last mile in Your shoes, under the weight of the wood..."
  6. See in the dim light as He stood at the pillar. See the men with their angry faces, with hatred in their hearts, as they pound His flesh.
  7. When they persecute us and hate us because we are not of this world, we must endure all out of greatest love. His way is always love. He came to show us the way, the way to eternal happiness. It is only in loving one another that we will merit eternal life. He asks us for two things. He asks us to love God and to love one another.
  8. We must go to His Eucharistic Heart! It will radiate to all those that we come in contact with, for the power of the Almighty God is a power that cannot be contained. It will radiate from our beings to all those we touch.
  9. When He walked from the pillar, the earth was marked by His bloody footprints.
  10. As the earth was marked by His bloody footprints, I ask you to make a mark on this world, to spread to this world the love of His Most Sacred Heart.

  

  

  

  

Jesus Is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns

  1. His body was battered, bruised, and bloodied. They covered Him with a dirty purple robe that they put on top of His wounds. He held a scepter and they crowned Him with a sharp crown of piercing thorns.
  2. Do you know what it is like to get a little splinter in your hand? They pounded into Jesus' most precious head thorns that were thick and piercing until the blood ran down His face, into His eyes, and into His ears. His hair was matted. This was truly the King of kings, the Son of God! He was crowned with a crown of piercing thorns!
  3. Song: "Only this I want, but to know the Lord, and to bear His cross, so to wear the crown He wore..."
  4. They spit on Him and they hollered slanders at Him. He sat, as they did this to Him, in silence.
  5. He truly came into this world, the Son of God, to show us the way. He sat in silence. Think of how we respond to those who come to us with hatred in their hearts. His way is the way of love. We must love all of our brothers as He has loved.
  6. The Father created each and every child-so precious, so unique-with such love.
  7. He loves us this day.
  8. Think of how it is to love so much and to be neglected.
  9. Pray to the Spirit to open your heart to the fire of His love.
  10. We are blind men! We do not see the love that He outpours to us. We see little incidental things. His Heart is overflowing with divine love and with divine life. He wants to give us His life! He gives us Himself in the Eucharist. Nothing on this earth can compare to His divine love and His divine life that He wants to give to us!

  

  

  

  

Jesus Carries His Cross Up Calvary

  1. See Jesus with His hands tied, with a look of perfect peace on His face. See those men who are surrounding Jesus, with their sharp instruments poking at Him, with anger and hatred on their faces-such anger and hatred that they condemned Jesus to death on a cross!
  2. They gave to Him a heavy cross that they put on His most precious shoulder. He carried the weight of the sins of the world on His back. This is the love that He has for each and every man, that He carries the cross with our sins on His back.
  3. He is no less present in the Eucharist this day than the day He walked to Calvary with His cross on His back. "Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. 'Take it and eat,' he said, 'this is my body.' Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, 'Drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." (Mt. 26:26-28)
  4. He peered into the eyes of His beloved Mother and she peered into His eyes. There was joy at the meeting of the eyes, but such sorrow deep within each of Their Hearts. They knew each other deeply in Their Hearts and how she had held Him and loved Him! He saw her in such suffering! He saw her face with tears. He saw His most precious Mother torn so deeply in her heart. It is the love of Their Hearts for us that has led us to this place. We must spread His love throughout the world. He would carry His cross this day for us because He loves us so dearly. God came to earth and was born a man out of greatest love for us! We do not see clearly. We do not come to His altar to receive the life that He wants to outpour to us. We are so blind! Pray for grace! Pray for His life, to know and love all that we do not see. We do not see because we do not come to His altar, because we do not spend time with Him!
  5. Mary comes to lead us to His most tender Heart. He asks us to answer the call, the call of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to be joined ever closer to Their Hearts brimming over with love for each and every soul.
  6. Jesus fell under His cross. The weight was so heavy! He did not give up His cross. He willingly carried this cross for love of us!
  7. It is in living in the Father's will that you will be the happiest. To His very death He followed the will of the Father.
  8. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
  9. See through the eyes of Mary. She peered into Jesus' eyes on Calvary. See through her eyes the love of her precious Son, Jesus Christ. See that He truly walked to Calvary, that He was truly scourged and crowned with thorns, and that He did it for greatest love of each of us. He calls us to come and be with Him and to spread His love to this world.
  10. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet

 

 

 

  

Jesus Dies on the Cross

  1. See the little hands of Jesus. See the little feet of Jesus as Mary holds Him as a baby. Now she stands and watches as they pound nails through His most precious hands into the cross. The anguish in her heart is so deep! "and a sword will pierce your soul too-so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare." (Lk. 2:35)
  2. Mary does not bear the wounds and the blood, as Jesus does, but Mary's heart is torn to see her beloved Son, battered, bruised and bloody, and now hanging on the cross!
  3. Be there! The sky has turned dark as Jesus hangs for three agonizing hours on the cross. His body is humped over and He is so weak! He gives His blood. He spreads His arms. He gives His all for love of each and every one of us. He truly gives His flesh. He gives His blood because He loves us so much! He was born a human! He was born on bare wood in a stable and now He hangs on a cross!
  4. His blood was spent so that we could inherit eternal life.
  5. As He gave His life on the cross, so He gives us His life this day in the Eucharist!
  6. Song: "I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me shall not hunger and who believes in Me shall not thirst. No one can come to Me unless the Father beckons, and I will raise you up, and I will raise you up, and I will raise you up on the last day."
  7. He gave the last beat of His Heart. He gave His last breath. He gave His all. His hands were punctured with nails. His head was pierced with thorns. He gave the inside of His body as well as the outside of His body! He asks us, in greatest love, to surrender ourselves to Him, for He truly gave His all for love of us. If He loved us so much that He gave His body, His blood, His all for each and every one of us, would He not give us from His abundance this day? He comes with such love. He is truly Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in our midst this day in the Eucharist, waiting for us to come and be with Him. He truly loves with a Heart of divine love. He truly has divine life that He outpours to each and every soul. He wants so much to share Himself with each one of us! If we come to Him, He will give us His divine love and His divine life. He loves us so dearly! We should come for His love and give this love to the world. A heart fixed on the love of God can move a mountain. We should live in the Father's will, to spread His love throughout the world. If we say "no", this world will suffer. We are His chosen ones, each and every soul. We must come, be filled with the love He pours out to us, and love our fellow men. We must love our brothers when they hate us and persecute us. We must love them as He loved those who put Him to death. We must open our hearts, rid ourselves of all impurities, and to pray to the Spirit to sanctify our hearts and clean out the debris of hatred and anger. We must come to His tabernacle with hearts that are open and pure so He can fill us with His divine love. It is in uniting with Him that He can operate from us and love this world as He so desire. This is His calling for us this day. Can we say "no"? See Him hanging on the cross. This is how He loved us!
  8. Mary stood under the cross and she saw Her beloved Son as He took His last breath.
  9. Jesus gave His life for each and every soul. Mary wants them to know His love. It is only in His love that we will find what our souls craves.
  10. They gave to Mary the lifeless body of her precious Son. As she held His baby body tenderly in her arms, she, so weak, now holds His lifeless body in her arms, covered with blood.

The Glorious Mysteries

  

  

The Resurrection

  1. This is a rosary for the children of America. This is a rosary on this April 25th of 1996. May the children of America  unite in one heart, in one mind and love Jesus with all their hearts.
  2. We are the children of light. We join to march across this world and to carry the banner of His light in our hearts. We see His life within us and praise the Almighty God Who loves us with His burning Heart of love.
  3. See Jesus adorned in the brightest light as He comes forth from the tomb. This is the Almighty God, all-powerful and clothed in all splendor and glory. He has called us, for this mission to help lead the light across this world. Generations to come will remember our fervor and our love of God as it spreads from our hearts to all those we touch.
  4. He is alive and He lives in this world in the hearts of men. The youth will carry the love of Jesus for the future generation. We are the Junior Shepherds of Christ Associates Movement. Our purpose is to lead the children and the adults to the love of the Almighty God.
  5. He came, He died, and He rose on the third day to give us life. He is filling each one of us with His abundant life, that we will go into the world and He will live in us in all of our actions.
  6. The world is filled with such sin and agony. We must carry His light into the darkness.
  7. Will we go to Mary and let her fill us with her motherly love, that we will have the strength to carry the message of Jesus' love into the world?
  8. Song: Here I Am Lord
  9. We need to spread God's love.
  10. See the Heart of Jesus after the resurrection, the glorified Heart of Jesus filled with such light and vibrancy, radiating His love. See it pulsate. This is the love that He has for all men.

  

 

 

  

The Ascension

  1. Our mission is to tell the world Jesus is alive. We must be holy in our hearts. He is calling us to holiness. He is calling us to love God. We are His apostles to spread His love to this world.
  2. He took the Apostles near the town of Bethany. He raised His arms and He ascended into heaven.
  3. Jesus no longer walks the earth. He lives in us as we walk this earth. He loves through us. He touches others as we live according to the will of the Father.
  4. Our whole life is to be spent in this oneness with God, that He can touch others through us.
  5. We are commissioned in Baptism to carry out His life, death, and resurrection in our lives.
  6. We must open our hearts and let Him fill our souls with His love. We are so precious to Him. He is guarding every moment of our lives. He is watching over us. We will truly be His apostles that will lead many to His burning love. He loves us so much.
  7. The Apostles were filled with fear as they saw Jesus ascend into the sky. Before Jesus ascended into the sky, He promised to send the Holy Spirit to them, that they would be fearless and spread the message of His love to the world.
  8. The Apostles were so filled with fear that they locked themselves in the upper room to wait for the Holy Spirit.
  9. The more we pray the consecration prayers to Jesus and Mary, the more we must surrender and not give into the temptation to go astray. God is Almighty. He guards our every heartbeat. He is watching us. He knows every thought that we think.
  10. Satan aims to trip us up and stop us on our paths. Jesus is here to guard us and to give us His grace.

  

  

  

  

Descent of The Holy Spirit on the Apostles

  1. Put yourself in the room with the Apostles and the Virgin Mary and hear the wind and the roar of a fire. There appeared over the head of the Apostles parted tongues of fire. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and they were transformed from fear to fearlessness.
  2. The Apostles many times were afraid. Peter denied Jesus. We see how they did not always know what was going on, but, now the Holy Spirit descended upon them. They were filled with this fearlessness, that they went out to preach the Gospel.
  3. We are the young shepherds. We are young apostles of this world. As we hear the scriptures during this time of the year, we think of ourselves as we go into the world to spread His love to the world that is hurting and in pain.
  4. Oh youth of America, do you see how the children and the young adults are being poisoned every moment by the television and with video games? He is the Almighty God. We must pray fervently with our young hearts, for the Father will hear our prayers and He will give to us great grace to help us carry out this mission.
  5. He sends us as sheep among wolves. We will calm the angered heart and many will turn their hearts to God because of the love for God in our hearts.
  6. Pray to the Holy Spirit fervently all through the day.
  7. He will give us a greater share in His divine wisdom. We will know far beyond our human comprehension and understand so much of the plan of the Father for this world.
  8. Jesus can give us clear understanding in less than a second. He is the Almighty God. He wants to shower us with His divine wisdom.
  9. Many people are stiff-necked. They harden their hearts and they walk away. They have made idols their gods. Jesus waits and longs for their love. Will we be His apostles to tell this world of His burning love? Many will be saved through our prayers and through all our efforts to spread this love to the world.
  10. We help in the act of redemption. All of our actions should be offered as a sacrifice united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to the Father, in the Holy Spirit.

 

 

 

  

The Assumption of Our Lady

  1. The Almighty God controls our every breath and our every heartbeat. We are totally dependent on Him. If we go to the highest mountain we cannot escape Him. He is with us and in our hearts at every moment. We must be at peace in our hearts, or we will not feel good in our lives.
  2. The television and video games have drawn many of the youth totally outside of themselves for excitement, but their hearts are withering and dying inside. There must be time spent everyday that we can hear God speak in our hearts.
  3. To go to the world for pleasure and to forget the inner workings of our hearts is to lead a life of loneliness and pain.
  4. Mary speaks at Fatima:

"I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day."26

  1. Mary wants us to give her our hearts everyday and to tell her of our love. She will place our hearts in the Heart of her Son and we will be at peace and know Their love for us.
  2. The world is vast, the world is wide. The Almighty God created the world, the sun in the sky, and everything in it. He has all the power. We must turn to Him and realize that He controls our lives.
  3. If a heart has turned to darkness, how dark is dark?
  4. The devil wants to take the little children deeper and deeper into sin. Look at the violence in our world. We must be children of the light, to pray and to go to Mary's heart.
  5. Do not be willful. Obey authority. This teaches you to obey the Father.
  6. To His death on the cross, Jesus always obeyed the will of the Father.

 

 

 

  

The Crowning of Mary

  1. Jesus obeyed always the will of His Father. Satan wants us to be willful. We must be obedient to God.
  2. We must pray to be humble and filled with all the virtues. We must pray that our hearts will be rooted in the love of God.
  3. We see Mary as the angel appeared to her and asked her to be the Mother of God. She obeyed and said "yes". Then we see that the Father crowned her Queen of Heaven and Earth.
  4. We must reach with our hearts. Our hearts must be alive and filled with love. We must spend time alone with our beloved Jesus.
  5. Satan is aimed at the youth of this world. He wants to cut the youth off from their hearts. We are chosen ones to lead the fire of His love across the land.
  6. This day is April 25th, 1996. We are children of the light. We will march on the darkened world and many will be filled with hearts of love.
  7. We help in the work of salvation.
  8. The Father has a great plan for each one of us. We are the children of the light.
  9. See the souls shriveling in the fires of hell. So many this day are dropping into hell like drops of rain. As we pray fervently from our hearts to the Holy Spirit, we will see clearly the plan of the Father for us. We must pray to the Holy Spirit all through the day and spend time alone with our beloved Jesus.
  10. If we do not spend time each day alone with God, we will have problems in our lives, for it is in those quiet moments that He teaches us about Himself and that He reveals the Father's plan for us.
