Messenger:        December 5, 2003 --

                                First began prayers outside and
                                    Jesus told me to go inside
                                Jesus told me to do rosary inside

Excerpt from December 1, 1999 message about December 5, 1996

Messenger: After she appeared for almost 2½ years on the 5ths, on the 2½ year anniversary Christ appeared at the point of death, His mouth open and moving. His jaw kept moving.

I was horrified as I saw Him. I cried and could hardly stand it.

What was so awful was here was my Jesus at the point of death on the cross. He looked as if He could do nothing because of His condition and His mouth kept going up and down, and no words came out.

At the traditional rosary (I had done them now for 2½ years of 5ths) that evening at 6:30 with all the Shepherds of Christ people there, He said He moved His mouth because no one was listening.

This was December 5, 1996, after all those visits of Mary on the 5ths when very few came and listened.

Excerpt from Rosary on December 5, 1996:

Jesus speaks:  I am alive, I am alive. I am alive. My beloved ones, I show you My face. Do you see the body of a man? Do you see Me alive on the cross? I am speaking to you but the world does not hear. They do not hear the message that I deliver to them. You must pray fervently. You must come to Me that I can be one in you and that I can operate through you as you go into the world this day. I love you. I love you with the most tender love. I am Jesus. I am alive. You are My main soldiers that I will send into the world to lead the strayed ones to My Heart.

The days ahead will be dark days. You must come to My Heart and take shelter in My Heart. It is there that you will be rooted on a firm rock. For My Heart is your home. You will not know the terrors of the night if you stay rooted in My Heart.

Division is blackness in the heart. You must not be divided, divided from anyone. You must remain in union with all men. You must see yourselves as part of the Father's family. Each one of you is so important to the Father's plan.

MARY OUR MOTHER

Mary is the Mother of God. God the Father sent His Only Begotten Son.

Mary is conceived immaculate. To not recognize this is to not realize the magnificence of God. God could not come in sin. God, Who is all good, could not be conceived in the body of a person tainted with original sin.

"'Father,' he said, 'if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.'" (Lk. 22:42)

I see that God is all-powerful. I am a little piece of the puzzle. I am not the whole puzzle. My love of Jesus and the Mass is why I write this book.

Mary, conceived without sin, is the New Eve. Mary was made our Mother under the cross. Mary is the Mother of our spiritual life. I have felt the pain of Mary under the cross, the pain for her little, lost children.

Mary is the Mother of God. Christ took on flesh. Mary is the spouse of the Holy Spirit. She is Mary Immaculate. Jesus took on Mary's flesh and blood. To not love Mary is to not recognize His great love for us. We miss our own dignity and honor. Divinity and humanity meet in Mary.

There are five blasphemies against Mary. She has asked us to make the first Saturday devotion. Sr. Lucia ask Our Lord why there were five first Saturdays.

He revealed to her:

My daughter, the reason is simple. There are five types of offenses and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary:

1. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception.
2. Blasphemies against Her Perpetual Virginity.
3. Blasphemies against Her Divine Maternity, in refusing at the same time to recognize Her as the Mother of men.
4. The blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children indifference or scorn, or even hatred of this Immaculate Mother.
5. The offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images.⁴⁶

We must make the first Saturday devotion to make reparation to her, for the indifferences against her Immaculate Heart.

I can see the devil pushing man away from Mary! The devil knows that Mary is a link between heaven and earth. There is a great link between God and man in Mary.

We realize more the mystery of God's love for us when we see how God loved Mary.

Act of Incarnation: God unites to man. My greatest pain felt, lately, is under the cross.

Mary knows the great gift given from God to His creatures. She is our spiritual Mother. She experiences the pain of her lost children. She sees before her, her Son covered with blood.

Mary says it is because of pride they do not accept her. It is because of pride, some think Mary cannot be any higher than them. They do not recognize election.

In having this pride, many miss the great messages given from God. In having pride, we miss a major link between heaven and earth in Mary. It is the Father's will that Mary is our spiritual Mother.

We reach a deeper level in the spiritual life only in the heart of Mary. It is His will. She was chosen, sinless, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, and the Mother of God.

We can only go to the deepest chambers of the Heart of Christ through the pure and sinless heart of Mary. We are sinners. She is immaculate.

Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her [during her illness] by 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…"⁴⁷

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."⁴⁸

Deep spiritual maturity cannot be achieved without going through the heart of Mary. Jesus came into the world in Mary's womb.

This is the Father's will: for His Son to come into this world, for His Son to be formed in her womb. God wants us to be formed more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus in the spiritual womb of Mary. Jesus wants us to grow in Mary's heart through the Holy Spirit to deepest maturity.

Many, in their willfulness and pride, deny the Mother of God, her Immaculate Conception, and the virgin birth. It is pride, for they do not want to recognize how much God loves Mary. They are proud and/or ignorant and will not recognize another creature higher than they are.

This is how it is: the Child Jesus, God-made-Man, was conceived in the womb of Mary. He was formed in her womb. To reach higher levels of spiritual maturity, we must dwell in the heart of Mary. We are formed there through the power of the Holy Spirit to be more like Jesus. We achieve depth in our relationship with God through Mary.

"And Mary said: 'My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord" (Lk. 1:46) All of us children unite in the heart of Mary. I see such oneness between all of us as we join in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We unite in the heart of Mary. She places us in the Heart of Jesus. There we are united with all Mary's children. He is the Light of the World. His Heart burns - a yellow glow with hot embers. Many are the children of the light. Mary is our Mother. She is calling us to be children of the light. She is Our Lady of Light.

It starts with you and me and with all His holy priests. As we consecrate our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we are one in Their Hearts. I give Jesus and Mary my heart, you give them your heart, we are one in Their Hearts. As the Shepherds of Christ Movement spreads throughout the world, we become one with each other as we give our hearts to Jesus and Mary. There will be one flock and one Shepherd. Father Carter is reaching the priests with the consecration in the priestly newsletter. He is reaching the sisters and religious with the consecration in the religious newsletter. He is reaching the lay people with the Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters for adults and youth centered in consecration of our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Notes:
In February of 1996, we began a new movement, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. In it people volunteer two hours a week in front of the Blessed Sacrament and pray for the renewal of the Church and the world. They consecrate their hearts bi-weekly in front of the tabernacle. We are all joined together to help bring the light to others. This is the center, Jesus in the Eucharist. It is for the renewal of the Church and the world.

Mary is now Our Lady of Sorrows. Her heart was pierced with the willfulness of her children. Her heart is in great sorrow at the loss of her children. She calls us to spread the light to this world, to light up the darkness, to come and be fed by the Chief Shepherd.

The devil has waged a war against the children of the light. Children of the light are richly fed with God's love, given abundantly by Jesus in the Eucharist.

This is the plan of Fatima to reach the world. Hearts must be consecrated to the two Hearts. Fr. Carter is reaching the world in the newsletter for priests, religious, and the associates. All are consecrating their hearts. The children must be reached through the Junior Shepherds of Christ Movement. Children need to consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The first Saturday devotion must be observed and spread from the Center.

The Fatima messages say, that the peace or war in our country depends on our consecrating our hearts to Mary. Children must be reached with the consecration. Satan is so strong.

The Father's plan will unfold. We must live according to the will of God with love. Every one of us is given such talents. God carries out the work of redemption through our humanity. We must pray to the Holy Spirit to sanctify us and make us holy.

This is what I suffered under the cross: the sufferings for the little, lost children. Mary wants us to make reparation to her heart. Mary told Jacinta, "Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary."⁴⁹ By recognizing her Immaculate Conception, we are recognizing the great dignity and honor He has given to Mary, a human person.

We go to the spiritual womb, the heart of Mary, because He wills it so. The depth of our union with Him can only come about through a deeper union with her. He wills it so.

The Father chose Mary as the Mother of God. The Father chose her, from all woman, to be Jesus' Mother. She is espoused to the Holy Spirit. Such dignity that God unites to her to bring forth a Son! If God comes to us in Mary's womb, we can go to God in Mary's heart.

In realizing the immense love God has for Mary, we can realize more His immense love for us in the Eucharist, to unite with us in such union. She carried Jesus in her womb. He is no less present in us when we receive Him in Communion.

Her soul magnifies the Lord. We see how our soul is raised to such heights through His grace. We, human persons, are raised to such heights in His grace. We are created to know, love, and serve Him. We can't leave out service. For, "…he has looked upon the humiliation of his servant. Yes, from now onwards all generations will call me blessed, for the Almighty has done great things for me. Holy is his name." (Lk. 1:48-49)

Father Carter talked about spiritual childhood: the more we become like a little child, the more the Father gives Himself to us.

Joyful Mysteries

Prayers began at 6:30  

Jesus:  O how dearly I love each and everyone of My precious children that have gathered in this room this evening. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. I love you with the most ardent love. Open wide your hearts and let Me touch you in a special way. My Mother and I are with you to give you messages of Our love and messages about Our lives. Open your hearts and you will be touched with My abundant grace. How tenderly I love you. I have called you, My sweet loving children. I am with you always, always. Do not fear, I will not abandon you. I am with you. Release all fear and anxieties. Let Me enter your heart in a very special way, in a very deep union, during the rosary. I long to love you and long for your love, given to Me. Tell Me from your heart how dearly you love Me. How this pleases Me so! I am Jesus. I love you, I love you, I love you. You are so dear to Me.

Jesus:  Die to yourself My child and let Me work in you. Come and dwell in the heart of My Mother and let the Holy Spirit move within her heart and transform you more and more into My image and likeness. As you are transformed you will be lead closer and closer to My Father. I am Jesus, I love you in a special way.

Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple

8. Mary:  Let me tenderly caress you my beloved children. How I love you and want to lead you ever closer to the Heart of my Son. It is in dwelling in my heart that you will dwell deeper and deeper in the Heart of Jesus. How He longs and waits for you to come.

    I am Mary, your Mother. Listen to me. I call out and my call falls on deaf ears, for many are not heeding the messages that I deliver. I am giving this message to you. Come to my heart and I will lead you to the Heart of my Son. I love you. It is through you, my children of light, that you will light up this dark world. I am sending you into the darkness and you will help many know the light of my Son. I am calling. This is an urgent request to help my little children that are dying in their hearts.

9. Mary:  I am asking you to help me to spread these rosaries, to spread the rosaries to all the world, to spread the rosaries to the adults and to the children. The rosary is a very powerful weapon against Satan. Satan is so strong this day, my dear little children. I am calling out to you. You must pray with all your heart. Do not be taunted by Satan. He wants to drive you away from my Son, Jesus. I will lead you ever closer to this burning love.
   

Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple

Mary:  We call out to you on the fifth day of the month to help to spread this movement across the world and to the children. I am Mary, your Mother. I am calling you to open your heart and help to lead many to me and my Son, to help all to consecrate their hearts daily to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I promise you, my little children, that there will be peace in this world, but many will suffer great trials and many will lose their souls. I am Mary, your Mother. I am calling. This is an urgent call for time is short. Many will lose their soul. Please – my little, lost children are suffering so in this world.

1. Mary:  The murder of the children in the womb of their mothers, my dear ones, this is a crime, the slaughter of innocent babies in the wombs of their own mother!

2. Mary:  The children that were taught about sex at such an early age, young children—five and six years old—what do I say? Many have closed their eyes!

3. Mary:  How will little children know of the love of God? So many of the teachings that are being taught this day have turned to such evilness. I beg you from my motherly heart to reach the children, to be a mother to each child, to pray from your heart as you have never prayed before. Pray, my dear ones and reach the children, my little children. My heart bleeds for the children in America.

4. Mary:  Children of wealth—given such good things and look how they act!

5. Mary:  What more do I say? Many children will lose their souls. My Son is love. I am calling out to you to turn your hearts to love, to go to daily Mass and Communion and to die to yourselves and unite to the burning love of My Son, Jesus. At every Mass offer yourselves as a sacrifice united with My Son, Jesus to the Father and pray that you will be joined ever closer to the pure and tender Heart of my Son, Jesus.

7. Mary:  The darkness covered the earth and the light of the love of my Son was seen in the hearts of the children of the light. I am calling you to light up this darkened world, this world that has turned to sin. I am calling, I am pleading, I am sending out an urgent plea to help me to reach the children of America with the rosary and to go to the schools and to tell the children about the lives of Jesus and Mary.

    I am Mary, your Mother. The rosary is a mighty weapon against Satan. Satan prowls this earth looking for souls to devour. He is aimed at the youth, my little precious youth that do not even know of the love of my Son. Will you help spread his love to the little children in this world?

8. Mary:  The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph but many souls will be lost. What you do with your life this day to help me to spread the message of His love will make a difference to this hurting world. Do not be fooled by the false peace that you see for underneath there is much turmoil. Look into the hearts of your youth—look into their eyes, go to the schools and watch the youth.

9. Mary:  Tell the children about the Mass and the Eucharist. Tell them of my Son, Jesus, who is truly present this day. This is the healing that the youth need—to come to Jesus in the Eucharist, to come to daily Mass. I am Mary, your Mother, I am calling out to you, my beloved ones to help me to spread the love of my Son to the children of America, for many will lose their souls for their willfulness and their sins.

10. Mary:  This is a rosary from the hearts of Jesus and Mary. Will you help spread these rosaries to this world? Many do not even know how to pray the rosary. The rosary is a powerful tool to use against Satan. I beg you to help spread the rosary to the souls of America.

March 11, 2004 message continues

Messenger:        2 days after Mary
                                appeared on the building
                                in Clearwater

THERE IS A MAN ON THE CROSS

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is love! There is a man on the cross. There is a child born to us today. He is the Light of the World. His light is shining in the darkness, but people do not see. They see the wood, but they view it for the beauty it will create in their newly decorated living rooms.

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

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

And how do we return His love?

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

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

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

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

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

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

How is your day? Is your glass half-empty or half-full?

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

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

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

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

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

We must relish the great gifts He gives to us - the greatest gift being the gift of Himself. We should anticipate the great gift of receiving Him in the Holy Eucharist with such eagerness in our hearts. The words I feel in my heart are expressed in the song, "I Love You, Jesus":

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

When we awake at night, we must think of Him and how we will receive Him the next day. We long to go to Communion to receive Him. We love Jesus in the Eucharist so much. A King comes to us. He enters our body and unites with our soul. He is the King of the kingdom of heaven…He is our Lover, He is the Almighty God, a Divine Person, and He comes to us. He wants us to come to Him with such longing. He wants us to think of Him all day. He wants us to long for Him.

Ps. 63:1-8:

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

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

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

The song "I Love You, Jesus":

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

How Will You Write the Life of Your Soul

December 5, 1993 - 6:00 a.m.

Jesus speaks: Come, come, beloved of My Father. What can I do to get you to turn your wills toward Me? You have a free will. You choose your destiny. Will it be Me or your own destruction? When you sin you are hardened in heart. It feels very bad but you justify your actions. Your hearts have turned into stone and your eyes are covered with rags and you see nothing before you.

Oh, little ones, no one can reach you. My heart laments your thirsty little souls and I cry to you as one Who suffered a brutal death for love of you. And your ears! You have plugged them up and you wander in darkness on a useless path toward your own destruction.

Come, please come to Me. I am so loving. I have so many gifts to give you. I forgive the greatest sins and you are made free and filled with such love. Come, oh open your gates to Me. Let Me in. I tell you this life is but a breath in the scoop of eternity. Knowing Me is not going to church on Sunday with a closed heart. Knowing Me is living your life in Me every minute of the day. To know Me is such a reward. I am so loving and good to you. I fill you with peace and love and joy. Even in trials you are at peace. I lament your love. Please turn to Me. I am an ardent lover waiting by your side. I never move, even in the darkest hours of your life. It is you who have chosen such darkness. My ways are light, even in suffering. To know Me is to walk a lighted path. To be absent of Me is to live in darkness. I love you, little ones. Turn your wills to Me. Satan has a strong bind on you if I am not part of your life. You have become his slave and you think you are free. You are being held captive by Satan. You are not free. True freedom comes from knowing Me! What can I say that I have not said? It is your choice. You choose your own destiny. You are the author of your soul. How will you write the life of your soul? If you are to have life eternal, you must write your biography according to God. To write your own book is to lead to a bad seller. It will never go to the house of the Lord. It will go to the tomb of destruction. I am the Good Shepherd. I lead My sheep and they follow Me. I hold them in My arms and comfort them on their way. I am loving and I care for them. Some go astray and I lament their passing because I care for them the same as those who follow Me, but they are willful and follow their own whims and they fall off a cliff and are destroyed. I lament the loss of My little sheep, but they choose their fate and I tried all I could to save them.

Oh, little ones, you choose your fate and all My promptings will not change your willful ways. But your willful ways will lead you to everlasting damnation. I can say no more.

Say the Our Father and listen to every word. It says all you need.

I love you so. Jesus Christ, your Savior!

Where Will You Go On the Day of Reckoning?  

December 5, 1993 - 5:10a.m.

Jesus speaks: I come, you wait, you are filled.

R. It seems so long since I talked to You, My Lord.

Jesus speaks: Time is so short-here today, gone tomorrow-and your reward awaits you. What glory awaits him who serves the Lord and his life is over? Where will you go on that day of reckoning? How is the state of your soul? Did you spend your life in search of a kingdom, never to find one but an idle pursuit, looking here and there for a kingdom, but never finding what you sought? The kingdom you seek is not of this world. Your life is not its own reward. Your life is being spent for the reward to follow. This life is not the reward in itself. This life is only the batting of an eye, the dropping of a pin, and the life hereafter is at hand. Where are you going, My little one? Did you spend your life in such idle pursuits, only to find that your search was in vain? Your life was empty and now what do you have to show for how you lived? Is all that mattered up like smoke in your face and you say, "Is that all there is?"

And what did you do with your little life here? When I paraded in front of you, you knew there was more to your life but you closed your eyes and told yourself, "Nay, I live for the likes of this world. Crazy are those who speak of a life hereafter." You heard, you were made aware, you had opportunities, you laughed, you sneered, you ran amok and told yourself you were all that mattered. This life was your end. You were going to have it all right here-one, glorious, true life. You were in pursuit of the treasure found in your house, at your job, in your children, in your pocket. You blinded yourself to any other possibility and continued on your willful little way. You were sought after by Him. You were probed, you were pursued, you were shown the light. I loved you your whole life. I followed you and opened My heart to you and you closed yours and spit in My face and you walked away. You walked over your brothers and you hardened your little hearts.

You pursued idle pursuits and you ran around with a worldly-focused gaze. Tunnel vision. You knew you were not in a tunnel. You knew from My pursuit of you that there was much more but you closed yourself off and went full steam ahead down the wrong road. You did not see the birds of the air or the children at play. You saw a world to be gained and a goal to be achieved. You sought an empty treasure in a barren field and when I stopped at each crossing and said, "Oh, that you would come and follow Me," you ignored My prompting and proceeded like a blind dog down the same path toward the barren field. And your heart lacked joy and it became harder and harder as you trod, but at each crossing you say, "Nay, Lord, I will find My reward here and be off."

Oh, you silly fool! To live your life for such emptiness. The only life that is is in Me. You never die. This is but a test. This is a test for you to receive a real reward. I have prodded you and tried to lead you toward Me but you spit in My face and went your willful way. Oh, little ones, eternity is so long. It doesn't end today or tomorrow. It goes on and on and on and never ends. This is a test to see how you will fare in the end. To put all your treasures in this life is to store up nothing. You take not one dime with you. All that remains is the things of the heart, your love of God and your love for your fellow man.

To follow God is to find the real reward, a field brimming with milk and honey. And you will behold the face of God! This and this alone feeds your hungry soul. All else leads the soul to barren lands. Store up a treasure of gold for the life hereafter. When you come to that crossing remove the blinders from your eyes and look at your beloved Jesus, staring right into your heart. Take the hard crust from your chest and let your heart become alive in His love. Do not pursue idle pursuits. Go down the road that leads to Jesus and at the end you will see His face! His road is well marked all through your life. Your sisters and brothers who loved Him looked into your eyes, but you wore blinders and laughed at them.

Oh, silly! A few years? For what? You don't get anything here but heartache, momentary pleasure that leaves you empty, so you numb your hearts with TV or alcohol or food or sex. It lasts only a moment, but you numb the craving in the soul. Oh, poor starved little ones, your soul can only be fed by Me. You are starving yourself to death. Your soul is withering and dying. Your victory is already won by Me Who died a brutal death for love of you! Come to Me. I knock at the door. Will you open or will you run amok down roads that lead to emptiness. On that day of reckoning when I, in all My pursuits of your soul and My saddened heart, finally have to turn you away and say, "I do not know you. I pursued you your whole life. I stood by your side. I walked by you the whole way and you never turned your head. You looked for your glory here and I waited and waited. I sent others to show you the way to the golden reward but you laughed and continued in your willfulness to the barren desert."

Oh, child, I love you. Many have prayed and sacrificed for you but you would not turn your hearts to Me. I am the way, the truth and the life. All other roads lead to destruction of the soul. My ways are not easy, but they are filled with peace, love and joy. My ways are everlasting. Your soul craves this union with Me. You are fighting off that which your soul thirsts after. It doesn't feel good, but you close your eyes and numb your craving. Oh, turn to Me and find rest, My little ones, now before it is too late! I am as close as your breath.

Witness Letter - Emily L.

How Being a Member of Shepherds of Christ Changed My Life

    Walking the aisle with that vision so deep in the heart, of a bride in her brilliant, pure white dress, white radiant veil, and white roses in her hair, ready to meet her Bridegroom. What words can express the intensity of that moment - everyday walking to the altar to be wed to the Almighty God?

    The moment of reception, after receiving the Almighty God, the Divine Bridegroom of the soul. For isn't it, indeed, a "reception" after the wedding, for within my heart I dance with my precious Spouse as He sings of His ardent love. And what words can describe the embrace of the King of Heaven, the dancing to His heartfelt voice, the longing to express the burning love as He gives Himself so completely? Our Bridegroom is with us at every second, as we walk, talk, eat, drive, sing. He sits there as we read His tender letters of love, with His beating Heart feeling such emotion in each word that we read and smiling on us with the most gentle, sweet love. What words can describe the excitement of that moment - a new bride so over-flowing with vibrant life as she sits next to her Lover outpouring Himself?

    What words can describe this love from a Mother that leads us to such a union with God?

    What words can satisfy the burning within the soul to express the depth to which we feel for this Movement?

    All this far surpasses the little terms we could use to say what has been imprinted on our hearts.

    So many gifts given from heaven: the morning offering and consecration, the precious Blue Books and Daily Messages, the Rosary Book and the Children's Rosary Book, all the tools for intimacy with Jesus, the Mass, the Eucharist and the Word, the Juniors, the 6:20 prayers, the joys and the sufferings, the love and the graces, the beautiful apostles, handmaids, servants, and Fred. ( I love you guys a whole lot!! )

    From death to life I've traveled on my journey in the Shepherds of Christ, with constant death - resurrections, but the knowledge of God and the great union with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and the Blessed Mother are beyond all words.

    It's such an ache to write this letter because it doesn't even scratch the surface. I could go on forever and it seems like I am. What a gift, this tremendous LIFE in Him that He has revealed through the Shepherds of Christ!

    And what words can truly express it?

end of December 5, 2001

     

  

   This is when I got the cramp in my legs and went inside because Jesus told me to write the mystery of light rosary:

  

December 5, 2002

Mysteries of Light

  

   

                                Baptism of Jesus

                           1. Jesus speaks:   I am Jesus, I am your Savior.

                           2. Jesus speaks:   Here is My Song I give you.
  

  

                           3. Jesus was baptized by John in the Jordan.

                           4. Meditating on these mysteries have helped
                                me get closer to the Father, Jesus
                                and the Holy Spirit.

                           5. Jesus is always loving us.

                           6. Jesus is with us.

                           7. We look at Jesus' public ministry.

                           8. Jesus is God. He loves us so very much
                                He came to this earth and took
                                on a human body.

                           9. Jesus gives us Himself to eat in the
                                Eucharist.

                         10. Jesus is the Savior of the World.
  

  
          

  

 

 

 

   

                           Marriage at Cana

                           1. I love to meditate on Jesus' miracles.

                           2. Doing this helps me to focus on His
                                Divine Power.

                           3. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.

                           4. Many people held on to their own
                                ideas that we should not change the
                                cover of the Blue Books.

                           5. Jesus wanted us to change the covers
                                and try to have them by Christmas.

                           6. Lots of people don't listen to Jesus.

                           7. "His mother said to the servants,
                                 'Do whatever he tells you.' " John 2: 5

                           8. This is good advice — we should
                                always do what Jesus tells us to do.

                           9. Many today do not honor Jesus
                                as the Son of God, meditating
                                on the life of Jesus, especially
                                His miracles helps us to realize
                                He is God, He is almighty.

                           10. Jesus speaks:   I am God, I am Jesus
                                                            the Son of God.

    

     

    

       

   

                           Kingdom of God

                           1. God gave us bodies.
                               God put us on the earth.
                               God intends us to live on this earth
                                    for our lives here below.
                               God intends us to serve Him
                                    as our Savior.

                           2. How would a family be if there was
                                not a mom and a dad to
                                run the family.

                           3. In God's family — God is in
                                charge. To ignore Him isn't
                                good. How can we build the
                                Kingdom of God leaving 
                                God out.

                           4. God is.
                               There are 3 Divine Persons.
                               Jesus is the Son of God.

                           5. Today is December 5, 2002.

                                6 years ago after Mary appeared
                                    daily for 14 months and

                                Mary appeared especially on
                                    the 5ths for 2 1/2 years —

                                instead of Mary appearing
                                where she usually appeared
                                at Holy Cross-Immaculata
                                Church in Cincinnati —

                                Jesus appeared at the point of
                                    death.

Excerpt from February 28, 1999 daily message

Messenger: ...We must call to mind the apparition of Jesus on the cross, December 5, 1996, when He appeared at the point of death with His mouth moving.

Later that evening in the rosary He said He moved His mouth. He did not speak any words because He said, "No one was listening."

                           6. I saw Him at the point of death
                                on the cross.                            

                           7. Watching His mouth move pierced
                                my heart.

                           8. Jesus is the Light of the World.
  
                           9. Jesus is the King of the Kingdom.

                          10. John 18: 36-17

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.’

 

   

   

    

                           Transfiguration

                           1. Matthew 17: 1-2, 5-6

    Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as dazzling as light. 

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

                           2. Jesus is the Light of the World.

                           3. Envision the apostles and
                                Jesus transfigured before them.

                           4. Excerpt from the Daily Messages December 22, 1998

Messenger:    On January 9, 1996, I went to pray. The snow was so bad the street was blocked to Holy Cross-Immaculata. I finally managed to find a place to park and trudged through the snow, panting with joy to be with Our Lord in the tabernacle there. When I arrived all I could do was kneel before the Sacred Heart statue and pour out myself to Him.

Please show a picture of the tabernacle and the Sacred Heart statue.

 

                           5. From my writings of January 9, 1996, I write:

"I was engulfed again in my love of God and cried so hard because I love Him so much. In this intimate act of giving myself totally to Him, my whole act was in emptying myself, wanting only to be lost in Him and united forever to Him in this most blissful moment. I turned myself over and was lost in Him, knowing His presence with me and knowing His deep love. The world stopped and I existed in Him, longing to forever stay there, so this moment would never end."

"I touched you, God and in this embrace I knew your unending love. I saw Your Body as if it was transfigured and glowing in light and I was lost in Thee."

This is how it began. I would see a great reflective light, as if from a mirror, on the eaves of the church in the front of Holy Cross-Immaculata and His Body was changed in the most brilliant light before my eyes. I cannot describe what I saw, nor have I ever seen it except in this vision and two that would follow the next two days. Jesus was transfigured before my eyes.

The date of January 9, 1996, when it first happened, was the same date January 9, 1994, when I genuflected before the crucifix and the altar at St. Gertrude's and the Father spoke; Blue Book II-page 18, January 9, 1994: "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

On January 9, 1996, I would see Jesus transfigured before me in the statue.

                                 6. This is real, that Jesus is the Son of God.

                           7. I saw Christ transfigured on February 5, 2000,
                                after we opened the Rosary Factory, I was
                                blinded by the light and could not see afterward,
                                as it is when you look at the sun

                                On February 5, 2001 we got
                                this picture 
  

February 5, 2001

                                We can't get discouraged -
  

                           8.  We work to promote the Kingdom.

                           9. 
    

    

                         10. Here is a song Jesus gave me —
                                He wants us to sing it to Him.
 

   

 

 

 

  

                           Last Supper

                           1. Luke 22: 14-20           

When the time came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, ‘I have ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; because, I tell you, I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’ Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and share it among you, because from now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.’

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

                            2.

 
  

                          3. The Mass is so wonderful.

                          4. A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                               -God's Blue Book, December 27, 1995

                          5. Prayer for Union with Jesus

    Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

                           6. A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

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

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

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

                           8. Excerpt from Priestly Newsletter 2001 Issue #1

We become one with Him as deeply as possible. We dwell in His most perfect Heart offering sacrifice to God for our sins and the sins of men. Our whole being is very active in the Mass as we realize more the power of this Sacrifice most worthily offered. We want to give ourselves as completely as possible, our past, all of ourselves, now become so one in the moment of sacrifice as we become one in Him pleading and begging to our God for purification, for help, for love of Him and all others. We give thanksgiving, worship and honor to Him, our whole being given as a sacrifice on the altar IN His pure and holy Heart. Being in the Immaculate Heart of our Mother, we offer sacrifice for the Church and the world.

We offer every precious moment of our lives, united to the Masses around the world, being one in Jesus. Every moment is a moment of sacrifice united to God. This is what we do in the Morning Offering.

The pages of the book of our lives are being written. These moments of our lives are so dear to God, for we offer our lives as a sacrifice for souls.

Are we spending the precious moments of our lives offering sacrifice to God for His honor and glory and giving our lives as a sacrifice for souls?

                            9. Jesus is the Son of God.    

                          10. Jesus loves us so much

                                    He came to this earth —

Excerpt from Spirituality Handbook

We, through our incorporation into Christ which occurs at Baptism, are meant to relive the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. In doing so, we are not only accomplishing our own salvation, but we are assisting in the salvation of others also. The Incarnation continues all the time. Christ, of course, is the one Who fundamentally continues the Incarnation. But He enlists our help. The world no longer sees Jesus, no longer is able to reach out and touch Him. We are the ones who now, in some way, make Christ visible and tangible. In union with the invisible, glorified Christ, and depending on Him as our source of life, we continue the Incarnation in its visible and temporal dimensions. This is our great privilege. This is our great responsibility.

The Christian is initiated into the mystery of Christ, into his or her role in prolonging the Incarnation, through Baptism. In the words of St. Paul: "Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were buried therefore with Him by Baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life." (Rom. 6: 3-4).

                            Messenger:
                            The Mass is so powerful — we can be
                                united so deeply with people all
                                over the world praying in such
                                oneness as a body for all the souls
                                of the earth.

                            Jesus loves us so much.

                            The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary 
                                sacramentally made present.

                            Oh God we prayed today as a body so deeply
                                at 12:00 noon united with all those in China
                                and Morrow and Cincinnati praying for
                                the priests, the Church and the world.

                            We prayed from behind Mary's image with a priest.
                            We prayed for the Reign of the Sacred Heart, that
                                the souls of this earth will recognize Jesus as
                                the Son of God and King and Center of their hearts.

                            Oh God we pray so deeply for this united to all the
                                saints and angels and souls in purgatory,
                                praying through the powerful intercession
                                of Mary our Mother and Fr. Carter.

                                Oh God we prayed so hard and we will
                            pray tonight at 6:20 and a priest will
                            unite with us all night as we pray from
                            beneath Mary's Image — you can view
                            Mary on the web while we pray and
                            listen. Another Catholic priest is united,
                            listening and discerning while we broadcast
                            all over the world from the internet — tune in.

                                I remember Jesus appearing 6 years
                            ago at the point of death —

December 5, 2003

Jesus speaks:     A voice cries out in the wilderness

                            Wake up Oh Zion —

                            Oh My People come to Me with hearts of love.

                            I am a God of Justice.

                            I come with such love to give you.

                            I am love.

                            Satan comes, he is dark, he is mean, he

                                wants your soul.

Messenger:        Oh lights of heaven, shine in the dark

                                corners of the world —

                            Oh Holy Spirit fill us

                            Oh God, thank You for Your gifts to us —

                            Oh God, thank You for all You have given

                                us.

                            Oh God help us to be grateful and to

                                pray with hearts of love.

Jesus speaks:    Oh My child, I am ever attentive to

                                the sound of your voice —

                            I wait by your bedside —

                                I love you to come to Me in the early

                                    morning hours and tell Me how

                                    much you love Me.

                                Oh My child I love you, I love you,

                                    I love you

Messenger:            Oh shine, oh lights of heaven —

                                shine on us, that we will not be

                                afraid, but be comforted by Your

                                love for us.

Jesus speaks:    Oh My child, do not fear for the very hairs

                                of your head are counted —

Messenger:        Jesus came a little baby in a stable in Bethlehem.

                            Oh God prepare our hearts, outpour Your love —

                            Oh God we want to be filled with Your love

                                and experience Your heavenly embrace.

                             Sing:  A voice Cry out in the wilderness

Messenger:       Oh city shine with light in the dark

                            night — let the lights of the hearts of

                            the people rooted in Him light the

                            way.

Jesus speaks:    I lull you with the soft wind —

                            to the evil man he sees black and darkness —

                            to the man of gentle ways he sees the velvet

                                sky adorned by the little stars and

                                he sees the wonders I have given to

                                you.

                            Oh that you would listen to the noise of

                                the cool breezes, oh that you would hear

                                the wind blow the leaves and rustle

                                in the trees,

                            Oh that you would hear the waves at night

                                as they rush into shore —

                            A man who walks in evil ways, hears the

                                clamor of evil in his mind, he is

                                not at rest, he delights in his malicious

                                behavior, he has no fear for his deeds —

                                he sees himself as perfect and judges

                                others harshly, untruthfully and

                                maliciously; he is focused on what

                                treatment he should get from others —

                                he plans evil deeds in his bed.

                            To one who comes in evil ways I say, your

                                deeds will not be forgotten, when you

                                continue to carry out malicious behavior

                                in delight without recompense.

                            As one who stores up rich treasure for a long

                                winter, fine wines, fine foods, wood

                                for the fire.

                            An evil man stores up deeds of malice for

                                his days to come and he continues

                                judging and hurting others with his

                                bitter, angry ways.

                            I am a God of justice.

                                I call you to love.

                                I tell you to be just to one another.

                            Night comes and the thief prowls around

                                looking to plant his anger on others.

                            Night comes and the just man does good

                                for his neighbor and cares for his family

                                with love.

                            Oh the days to come will be days of joy

                                as you grow deeper in your love union

                                with Me.

                                A man had a family and he cared for the

                            little shoots, his children grew and went

                            into the world and they, too, spread

                            seeds of love... and so on and so on.

                                I am a God of justice.

                                I call you to love.

Jesus speaks:    Wake Jerusalem —

                                Your light will shine and

                                men will feast at the table of love.

                            When I called you, you heard My voice

                                and you came in joy to serve

                                Me. Your "yes" should mean "yes",

                                and your "no should remain "no".

                            A garland of flowers I lay before you

                                My chosen ones.

                            I love you, I love you, I love you.

                            You are My little lights in a dark world.

                            You light the world with your love.

Messenger:        Oh night richly blessed — let this be a 

                                holy night to worship and love you

                                and to be at peace. 

                            Sing: Oh Holy Night

Jesus speaks:    Oh My people, peace is found inside —

                                It is an act of the will to

                                dwell on sad things or look for

                                happy things to be grateful.

                            You may be able to control some things,

                                but I am God I control the earth.

                            Pray for your families —

                            Pray for the family of the earth —

                            Oh that you would consecrate your homes, and

                                your hearts and all places on the earth

                                to the Immaculate Heart and the Sacred

                                Heart.

Mary speaks:    I am your Mother Mary —

                            I am the Mother of Jesus.

                            Jesus is the Light of the world.

                            You come to my Immaculate Heart and the

                                Holy Spirit works to bring you forth

                                children of the light.

                            Pray to the Holy Spirit to outpour His grace

                                on the people of the earth.

                            Oh little city sleeping in darkness —

                                awake your Light has come —

                                Jesus is the Savior of the world.

                            When night comes forth, the light of our

                        images will shine for the people of the

                                earth.

                            Say to your God —

                                Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I give you myself.

                                    I give you my life, I want to dwell

                                    in Thee.

                    Sing: the song   I am your Sacred Heart

Mary speaks:    Now give me your heart and I will intercede to

                                your God for your holiness and greater union

                                with Him for you.

                            I will take you into my Immaculate Heart

                                and take you to the fiery Heart of

                            my Son, consumed with love

                                for thee.

                            Oh night turns into day —

                            You see the star studded night —

                                but in the darkness, you see the little stars

                                so beautiful and so bright.

                            Oh my children of light, shine in this world

                                as little lights against the darkness of

                                sin —

                                Comfort your God —

                                Give Him your love.

                            My Son was beaten and He died for you.

                                He loves you so much.

                                I love you so much.

                            We are the Hearts of pure love.

                            My children you are imperfect.

                            I am the Immaculate Conception.

                            I am Mary — We are your models —

                            Jesus is the New Adam

                            I am, Mary, the New Eve

Messenger:      Oh lights of heaven, shine on the troubled

                            earth.

Mary speaks:    Oh children, do not give into satan to divide

                                you to hurt you.

                                LOVE — LOVE — LOVE

                         A man went out and he did sordid deeds —

                            he was unhappy inside —

                            he was stuck in his malicious conduct

                            and his heart had become hard.

                        A man went out and to all he met he was

                            a light, he was loving, he left behind

                            him the joy he had in his heart.

                        During this Christmas season, pray to be holy,

                            pray to have a heart of joy, even though

                            sufferings befall you, you are at peace.
