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.

   

Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

April 5, 2001

  

6. Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus

Jesus speaks:  My face was covered with blood. From the crowd Veronica came forward with a cloth to wipe My face. On the cloth I gave to you an imprint of My bloodied face. This, My children, remains with you this day as a sign of My immense love for you. But more than any cloth, look beyond the visible consecrated host. I, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, remain with you, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the Eucharist this day, waiting and longing to be with you. Oh, how I love you!

This was when we did the rosary February 5, 2001.

  Luke 23: 27-28

                8. Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem 

Jesus speaks:  The women came to Me with their children, their tender hearts crying and wanting to comfort Me. I saw their love, their care. I saw the coldness of men's hearts for all time, the hatred, the anger, the sins, all the souls that, despite all of My sufferings and death, would be condemned to eternal damnation. I told the women to weep not for Me, but for themselves and their children. My greatest agonies were the agonies of My Most Sacred Heart. Oh, how I love you!

4. Jesus and Mary Meet

Jesus speaks:  I saw the face of My beautiful Mother. She was weak, her face reddened and full of tears. I saw her tender heart, her love, her anguish, her pain. I saw My dear Mother Mary. My Heart was comforted by the sight of her, but torn by her suffering.

Mary speaks:  As I looked into the eyes of my beloved Son, I saw His love. His head, bleeding and wounded. His body weak. His clothes covered with blood. I looked into His eyes and I saw His love for you. I call out to you today. I appear today with a face full of anguish and tears. I appear to call you back to the love of my Son. See through my eyes, as I peer into His eyes, the love He has for you this day to give of Himself for you. Oh, He loves you so much, my little children. See through my eyes the love of my Son. Oh, how He loves you!

11. They Nail Him to the Cross

Messenger: See Mary as she holds the little Baby Jesus.
  

   

See her as she washes His tender hands and feet. See her now as she watches as they pound into those same hands and feet the gigantic nails that fix Jesus to the cross.
  

Mary speaks: Oh, my dear ones, my heart was torn in my chest as they nailed His hands and feet to the cross. 
  

  

I ask you this day to walk the Passion with me and see through my eyes the love He has for you. He truly was nailed to the cross.
  

   

Jesus speaks: They pounded the nails into My first hand, then they stretched My body and nailed My other hand. 
  

  

The blood poured from these wounds that went totally through My hands. My pain was so immense, but then they nailed My feet!
  

  

You do not know what pain I suffered, My child. My children, My children, for each one of you I suffered this pain. Oh, how I loved you!

Messenger:        Mary appeared at Fatima at the beginning
                                of the Century she said

                                1) Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary—
                                    until a sufficient number of people make 
                                    and live the consecration, we will not 
                                    have peace in the world.

                                2) Praying the rosary.

                                3) Observing the First Saturday Devotion.

                                4) Making reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

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.

Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima

by Father Edward Carter, S.J. 

            October 13, 1917

                In her message that day, Our Blessed Mother told the children:

    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.⁽¹⁷⁾

4. Mary: As I looked into the eyes of my beloved Son, I saw His love. His head, bleeding and wounded. His body weak. His clothes covered with blood. I looked into His eyes and I saw His love for you. I call out to you today. I appear today with a face full of anguish and tears. I appear to call you back to the love of my Son. See through my eyes, as I peer into His eyes, the love He has for you this day to give of Himself for you. Oh, He loves you so much, my little children. See through my eyes the love of my Son. Oh, how He loves you!

11. Mary: Oh, my dear ones, my heart was torn in my chest as they nailed His hands and feet to the cross. I ask you this day to walk the Passion with me and see through my eyes the love He has for you. He truly was nailed to the cross.

13. Mary: I held His lifeless body in my arms. See through my eyes the love He has for you this day. He gives Himself to you today in the Eucharist. He loves you so much!

THE JOYFUL MYSTERIES

The Birth of Jesus

4. Mary: I am the Immaculate Conception. I am here with you, my beloved ones. I call out to you to pray fervently, for the days ahead are days filled with suffering. This world has lost its way. You must pray fervently for all beloved souls. I call you to pray this rosary every day. Pray the rosary as you have never prayed from your heart before. Be filled with the love of my Heart and my Son, Jesus. Be forever wrapped in our lives. Come, come to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and be led deeply into our immense love for you. Pray, my little ones, for sufferings are to come, deep sufferings. This world is disobedient. They will not obey the laws and commands of my Son. I have come! I have called! I am ignored! My dear ones, my sweet ones, I tell you, I tell you to pray. Listen with your ears open and your hearts filled with the love of God. It will be your strength for the dark days that are ahead. I am the Immaculate Heart. I call out to you, my beloved. This rosary is a tool that will draw many hearts to the Hearts of me and my Son.

5. Mary: I pray with you, my little ones. Each prayer that you pray should be connected with me and my Son and the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory. You are praying as one with the courts of heaven. Lift high your hearts! Lift your voices and join with us!

6. Mary: I pray for this world, for this world that is sinful and godless. I ask you to pray fervently and to come to my Most Immaculate Heart.

7. Mary: How my little children suffer, little children that are so young! Men's hearts are so cruel and filled with self. I beg you to go out and spread the love of my Son to this world. You must stayed fixed on Him!

8. Mary: My Heart bleeds and I cry bloody tears for the slaughter that is happening to the young ones. As my child was a baby in my arms, I call out to you to pray fervently for the little ones, for they are being persecuted far beyond anyone's comprehension from the ways of this world. My precious little children!

9. Mary: I am the Mother of all!

10. Mary: I am the Immaculate Conception and I am truly present and with you. Men will not listen. They will not turn from their ways. You must pray as you never prayed before. The times at hand are times of great suffering. I am calling out to you to spread this message to the world, for this world is not listening. Who is here to pray with you? Three! Three of you are here and I am in your midst! Men do not care for their world. They hold on to their world and I tell you over and over again to pray the rosary. I am truly present and I am here with you!

Song between decades: Come, Holy Spirit, fill our hearts…

Mary: I am the Virgin Mary and I wish for you to pray in this room tomorrow night.

The Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple

2. Mary: My Heart was pierced with a sword so many times through my Child's life. My dear ones, people will suffer because they will not listen. They are willful in their ways. I call out to you to spread these messages in any way that you can, for I am truly speaking to you here and times are so short. My dear ones, carry this message out to this world, for sufferings are at hand!

3. Mary: I call you to come on the fifth of April and pray the rosary here in this room.

4. Mary: Bring with you all that will pray, for sufferings are at hand. You will suffer such immense sufferings. You need to pray! Pray the rosary! Tell all to come and be with me in this room to pray the rosary!

5. Mary: I have held back the hand of my Son! He will call upon the earth and there will be such suffering, my beloved ones. You tarry too long! These messages of His love must circulate! You do not know what is about to befall the earth. I call out to you this day to listen to me for, as you see me illuminated before you, you know that what I speak to you is true.

6. Mary: Pray! Pray! Pray!

7. Mary: I am Our Lady of Light and I appear to you to take this message to this world this day! Carry this message to every person and tell them what I tell you here!

8. Mary: My Heart was pierced with a sword as I stood beneath the cross of my Son! As He gave His life, His flesh and His blood for love of you, my Son loves each and every soul. He died for them! I beg you to go into this world and to spread His love to every corner of this world. You can not hold back! Souls will be lost because they did not know the love of my Son. You are in a position, for He is speaking to you, to carry this message to those who are hurting. Feed the hungry souls with the love of my Son!

9. Mary: Let your hearts be filled with my light! May you have the courage that the Holy Spirit will give to you so strongly to transform you from fear to fearlessness, to carry out the plan of the Father. You are my lights to shine to this darkened world! Let your hearts be opened and go, my children! Go! I summon you to go and to not hold back!

Mary: I will make myself known to those who come and pray this rosary!

Song between decades: Come, Holy Spirit, fill our hearts…

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

1. Mary: I would like my Son Jesus present in the tabernacle when you pray this rosary!

2. Mary: My Son was taken to the Temple for the feast of the Passover. We lost my Son in the Temple. So many souls this day are in deep darkness and have lost their way. They are dead in their hearts! I pray to you to go out to this world and spread the good news! You are so favored by God that you are given such great gifts! To hold them to yourself is not to His liking! I beg you to spread this news, to pray for courage, to do what He is asking you to do!

3. Mary: He has chosen this Center to be apostles to go out into the world and to spread the love of His Most Sacred Heart through my Most Immaculate Heart. Can you not answer the call that I give to you this day? You are so favored, so chosen, so gifted by God Himself and you bicker and you fight and you complain! You, my chosen ones, the chosen race, look at you!

4. Mary: You look at each other with eyes of envy when God is speaking here! Each person that receives this message is receiving a grace, a gift from God Himself! You do not even see! You are so blind!

5. Mary: Pride is an evil that ruins men's hearts. Speak to all men of pride. It is only a loving heart that will unite with the Heart of my Son. A heart of love will light up this darkened world. I send you as soldiers into a world that is godless! You are fighting a battle with this world, with hearts full of the love of my Son. Look at all the souls that are lost! Look at the children of these parents who have gone astray! Little children! Look at their lives! I am so sad for the lives of my children. I call to you this day. Look at your world, America! You are so blind! You do not see! You have turned deaf and you have closed your eyes! I come and I appear! My Son talks and so many do not pay Him heed! I beg you! I beg you to heed my words for I truly am Mary, and I am speaking to you!

6. Mary: Hearts that are hard, hearts that are godless, hearts that are lifeless, hearts that are dead in sin! Look at your world, America! Can you turn your head and look the other way? I come and I plead with you to turn your hearts back to the love of my Son, and who listens? Three come to pray my rosary with me! How do I shake those into listening to me here for I am truly speaking in this rosary to my beloved children? Listen to me! All those who come to this rosary will receive abundant graces from me and my Son!

7. Mary: My lost children, how the fires in hell burn, burn so brightly for the souls that were willful and had their own way. You do not see! You do not comprehend! You focus on little details here in your lives! Focus on the fires of hell, my dear, sweet children. Souls are burning in the fires of hell for their own willfulness and sin, and many more will be lost despite the sufferings of my Son. Many souls will be lost. I call you to unite with the Heart of my Son, to go into this world and preach the Gospel at every highway and byway, to spread the love of my Son, Jesus.

8. Mary: My little, lost children, I am your Mother, and I lead you on your way, closer and closer to Heaven!

10. Mary: Tomorrow is the 31st of March and I tell you to come to this chapel and pray the rosary in this chapel at 6:20 p.m.

7. Mary: Model your families after the Holy Family.

8. Mary: What a price my Son paid for your salvation. He came to show you the way.

9. Mary: Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist, the same as when I carried Him in my womb, the same as the day He walked on the earth! Should you not jump for joy as the babe in Elizabeth's womb jumped?

Song between decades: Ave, ave, ave Maria. Ave, ave, ave Maria.

Jesus Is Born in Bethlehem

1. Mary: My dear little children, my Son was born in a stable in the town of Bethlehem in such poverty. He was God and He came to this earth in such poverty for greatest love of you! Can you not turn your minds and hearts to Jesus? Jesus truly died for love of you. My dear little children, you are missing the greatest treasure of all. Jesus loves you so much!

2. Mary: How your Father cares for you! He created you so specially, with such special gifts. My little children, turn to Jesus, my Son. He came to this earth a helpless baby. This, the Son of God!

3. Mary: Jesus wants you to come and make your home in His Heart.

4. Mary: Jesus loves you so much. His Heart is on fire for you, His precious little children.

5. Mary: How this world has turned away from God! My dear little children, God created you. God loves you!

6. Mary: He is in your world this day. My dear little children, how can this world deny God? He is in your every breath, in your every heartbeat. You are dependent on Him for your life!

7. Mary: In such simplicity my Son was born in the town of Bethlehem. The animals were there to give Him warmth.

8. Mary: This is God's world and you are chosen as His special children. You are part of His plan. You must stay rooted in God.

9. Mary: My Son was born in the town of Bethlehem and the stars shone brightly above where He lay. My little children, the Almighty God was born a helpless baby for love of you.

Song between decades: Ave, ave, ave Maria. Ave, ave, ave Maria.

The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

1. Mary: Your hearts were made for God. You will not be happy, my dear little children, if you turn away from Him. It is only in turning your hearts to God that you will know true love and happiness.

2. Mary: We took my Son to the Temple, and Simeon the prophet told me of the sufferings of my Son. He died on the cross so that you would get to heaven. My dear little children, I am your Mother. I guard and protect you. Jesus gave His life so you would be with Him forever and ever.

3. Mary: He knocks on the door of your heart and only you can let Him in.

4. Mary: I knew from the prophecy of Simeon how my Son Jesus would suffer. My Heart was in such sorrow to know of the sufferings to come!

5. Mary: But, my dear little children, how my Heart is in such deep sorrow to see the children of this world and watch them suffer. Little innocent ones murdered as babies! Little children taught about sex in schools! My precious children, pray for your world, for your prayers as children are so powerful. How Jesus loves children to pray!

6. Mary: This rosary is for my beloved children of this world. It is sent to you from my Immaculate Heart. My beloved children, will you answer your Mother's call to come and pray the rosary with me every day? Pray with one another, for your earth will suffer for its sinfulness and willful ways. I am calling you, children of America, to unite and pray. Pray the rosary every day.

7. Mary: My beloved children, pray to the Child Jesus. He will answer your prayers.

8. Mary: My Heart was pierced with a sword. His Heart was pierced with a lance. Sufferings will befall this earth! Children of America, unite and pray!

9. Mary: Know how my Son loves you, that He gave His life for love of you.

10. Mary: What a great gift you received when you were baptized, for you were given a share in His divine life. My beautiful children, how I love you!

Song between decades: Ave, ave, ave Maria. Ave, ave, ave Maria.

Mary and Joseph Find Jesus in the Temple

5. Mary: Jesus wants to fill your hearts and your souls with His life. The Holy Spirit wants to release in you the gift of His wisdom. Open up your hearts, my beloved children. Pray to the Spirit to lead you into closer union with my Son. Pray to the Child Jesus!

6. Mary: Jesus lived on this earth as a little child. He lived as you live on this earth. This was God, the Son of Man! Out of greatest love for you, my little children, my Son came and lived on this earth.

7. Mary: Think, my little children, how close you are to your mother. Stay close to me. Stay rooted in my Immaculate Heart. Know that I am forever by your side, guarding and protecting you. I place my mantle securely around your shoulders. Do you feel the protection that I give you? You are children living in a troubled world. How you are wounded by the sin in this world! I am your Mother and I will protect you. You must turn to me. You must pray to me. Pray the rosary, my children. This is your weapon against Satan, for the world is evil. Satan wants to trip you up, my children. Children, listen to your heavenly Mother, for I love you with the deepest love.

8. Mary: This rosary I have given especially to you, my children. Pray this rosary with your friends for it truly comes from my tender Heart to your heart.

9. Mary: If you ever wander from Jesus, turn to me! As I searched for the Child Jesus, know that I am here and I will lead you back to the Heart of my Son.

10. Mary: My dear little children, pray to me and to the child Jesus for your friends that are lost. I truly love each and every precious one of my little children. Turn your lives to my Son, Jesus. He waits and longs for you. He loves you. When this world is cold, turn to the child Jesus.

Song after the last decade: Ave, ave, ave Maria. Ave, ave, ave Maria.

Mary: This is a rosary from my Most Immaculate Heart for my beloved children. I ask you to circulate this rosary to my dear children, for they are being taught lies in this world. If they are being taught lies, is it not your duty to teach them the truth? If you have received this rosary, I ask you to spread it to the children. For my little children are my dear, dear little ones. They need to pray. Children are not praying. Please, I beg you. Spread this rosary to all little children for I love them so much. How powerful are the prayers of little children! I am Mary, your Mother. Thank you for responding to my call.

7. Mary: They untied my Son and led Him away, covered with wounds, whipped and beaten.

8. Mary: Your friends may persecute you, my little children. They are cruel sometimes. Know that Jesus is your best friend. He loves you so much that He suffered the scourging at the pillar.

Mary Is Crowned Queen of Heaven

2. Mary: My beloved ones, you will have a period of struggle. Stay close to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

3. Mary: Our Hearts are a symbol of greatest love for you.

4. Mary: In your wildest imagination, you cannot image the deep and most tender love that my Son has for you. Pray to the Spirit to open your heart so you may feel more and more the great love that Jesus, my Son, has for you.

5. Mary: God wants you to be joined with Him forever and ever in the courts of heaven. You must, every minute of your life, seek after holiness. The devil goes about this earth prowling and aiming to trip men in their paths. My dear, little ones, Jesus, my Son, loves you with the deepest love. Focus on the love of Jesus.

6. Mary: I call to you! I call to you! I call to you! I am Mary, the mother of God, and I am your mother. My dear little ones, harken to my call, for you are my chosen ones.

7. Mary: You are commissioned through baptism to go out into this world and spread the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Do not hold back but let your hearts be forever open and the love of God will flow from you and radiate from your very being.

8. Mary: I am Mary, your mother! My beloved children, how I love you with the most maternal love. I love you! I love you! I am waiting for you to come closer to my Heart.

THE SORROWFUL MYSTERIES

July 11, 1995 Shepherds of Christ Meeting

Mary: My dear little children, I am Mary, your Mother. I have called each one of you here to hear my plea. This world is hurting and in pain. My little children suffer so. Will you be my little children that go out and spread the love of my Son Jesus to the world? It is in your actions that many are taught the lessons of His love. I speak to you gently for I love you with a gentle Heart. My Son Jesus loves you with a Heart of deepest love. Surrender and let go and let Our love penetrate your heart and fill you. I am protecting you with my motherly mantle. I am holding you in my arms and pressing you close to my Heart. I am giving to you my motherly love. Surrender and feel me as I hold you in my arms and give you the milk of salvation. I am Mary your mother and I am forever with you. My precious, precious little children, pray for all my little children on this earth.

THE JOYFUL MYSTERIES

The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple

6. Mary: My dear little children, I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to pray as you have never prayed before from your heart for all the little lost children in this world today. I stood under the cross and I watched my Son as He suffered and died. This day, my dear ones, many of my children will be lost forever, for their hearts are willful and they go about their lives in sin. Jesus loves each and every child. I am the Mother of each child. I love each one of my children, your brothers. Will you pray from your hearts, my dear children? Pray for all the little lost children of this world. I am Mary, your Mother, and I am asking you this day to hear my words. I speak to you with this urgent request to pray as you have never prayed before.

7. Mary: My Heart was in such sorrow for the loss of my child! My Heart is sorrowing for the loss of so many this day. My dear little children, pray. Offer your days, each day, to the Father in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Spirit, with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory. Offer up all of your actions for the little children of this world who are suffering and in pain.

8. Mary: I am Mary, your Mother. I speak to you. This is an urgent request. Let go and come to the Heart of my Son. He will fill you with such love and you will go into this world. You will spread this love. Pray to the Father. Come to my Heart and dwell in my Heart. For I dwell in the Heart of my Son, and I will place you in the deepest recesses of His Heart. Pray to the Holy Spirit. My dear ones, when you are filled with the love of God, when you come from a place where your hearts are filled with love, you will give love to all in this world. When your hearts are sorrowing and in pain, come to the Almighty God. Spend quiet moments with Him, and let Him fill you with His love. My Son Jesus is waiting and waiting, minute by minute, second by second, for you to come. Come, my little children, to the Heart of my Son.

 

JULY 15, 1995
GLORIOUS MYSTERIES FOR CHILDREN

The Resurrection

7. Mary: I see before me the starved children of this world, their skinny little bodies. My dear ones, there is such suffering in this world today. You hold back from talking about the love of God for fear of what people will think. See, My dear ones, see the men who will be paraded into the fires of hell for their willfulness. You must speak and tell all of the love of God. It is through these rosaries that I will touch many hearts.

The Assumption of Our Lady

3. Mary: Go to the children now, My dear, dear ones. I am Mary, your mother. I am asking you to go out to the children. Many children will lose their souls and be condemned to the fires of hell. It is through your efforts to spread this movement, the Junior Shepherds of Christ, that these children will be saved from their own doom.

4. Mary: Little children's prayers are so powerful! I am Mary, your Mother. I am asking you to man the forces and have my little army of children ready and marching on this world with their pure little hearts and talking about the love of God. Children love to sing and they will love to pray when they know about the lives of my Son Jesus and myself, when you teach them about the Mass and the great gifts they are given. Give to children the first Blue Book and let them hear the personal love letters my Son is delivering to them.

6. Mary: Think of the little children coming to Mass and longing to receive my Son Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. Think of them coming with their little hearts and telling Jesus of their love. I am Mary, their Mother, and I want to rock them and hold them tenderly, close to my Heart, to rock them and cuddle them in my Heart. I love each precious little young child. Will you tell them for me? I am Mary, and I am calling you to reach out to the children.

7. Mary: Children are being taught at such an early age about sex, but they are not being taught about the love of God. I am Mary, your Mother. You must have courage to stand up and talk about the love of God. Think of how the children are being taught this day about all the vile things. People have the courage to stand up and spread such filth, but so few speak to the children about the burning love of my Son Jesus. How my Son Jesus loves the little children.

8. Mary: I want this rosary to circulate among the children. I want you to encourage children to pray the rosary with these meditations. I want to tell the children how I love them with the tenderest, motherly love and how I am protecting them and guarding them and watching them. I am spreading My Motherly mantle over them. I am Mary, the Mother of Jesus and the mother of all the children of this world.

9. Mary: Think of how a mother loves her children. I love my children with the tenderest motherly love. Will you help me lead these tender young hearts to the Heart of my beloved Son, on fire for love of them? Many souls will be condemned to hell for their sinfulness and their willfulness. I am asking you to go out and to talk to the children about the love of my Son.

10. Mary: These rosary meditations and the Blue Books should be circulated among the children. I am asking you to carry the Blue Book to the children and have them read it so they know how much Jesus, my Son, loves them.

The Crowning of Mary

1. Mary: The soul was created by God the Father to know and love God. Nothing on the face of this earth will feed the starved soul except the love of God. Make it clear to the children that their souls were created for the love of God. Their souls are hungry. They need to feed their souls with the love of God.

3. Mary: The ways of this world are very evil ways. The little children are being taught young such evilness! I am your Mother. I am calling out to you to carry out this mission, for the children need to know the love of my Son. You will be given great graces to reach the children. You must know that Satan will press very hard to try to stop any efforts that you may make in trying to reach the children. I am Mary, your Mother, and I am protecting you with my motherly mantle.

4. Mary: If you instruct the children, as I have instructed you, on the lives of Jesus and Mary, they will love to pray the rosary.

6. Mary: Children every day need to consecrate their hearts to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

8. Mary: I am so sorrowful for the little lost children of this world, for the slaughter of the little innocent babies within the womb of their mothers, for the slaughter of the minds of children in many classrooms. I am Mary, your Mother. Speak out, pray for the courage from the Holy Spirit to speak out for the love of God. If this world can talk about so many vile things, if it shows movies in the movie theaters where Satan is coming out of the screen, my dear ones, you can surely talk about the tender, burning Heart of my Son Jesus.

9. Mary: Many young hearts will be converted and, in that conversion, the power of their prayers will be magnified far beyond your comprehension. I am Mary, your Mother. This is a rosary given from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary on July 15, 1995. This is a call to reach the children in the Junior Shepherds of Christ Movement, to bring them to my Immaculate Heart, that they may be consecrated in my Heart and consecrated in the Heart of my Son.

10. Mary: Tell the children to pray to my Son and the Holy Spirit for the courage to go into this world, for they are fighting a battle every day in this world and my Son will reward them with abundant grace and great gifts of His tender love. I am Mary, your Mother. I have called out to you. Harken to my call and tell all involved of my request here. I love you, my sweet little children, and I love the little children of the world. Let the little children come to my Son Jesus and let them forever rest in His burning Heart of love.

March 23, 2002 message continues

Messenger:        Fr. Carter was there for many of the messages given
                                as Mary appeared.
                            Fr. Carter very carefully discerned all messages
                                and wanted his name put in this book.
                            Here are his own comments about the book.

    So Mary tells us, this is the message which Rita received on December the 19^th...

Mary:

"Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book."

    She’s referring to a book which Shepherds of Christ Publications came out right around Christmas time. Hopefully all of you have received it in the mail, Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, as given to Rita. Now here’s the point I want to make here and now. Notice how she links up the apparition site with the circulation of her Rosary Book, and we are circulating the book there. But to me, there’s a very great phenomenon connected with the colors on the window, bank windows and the Rosary Book. And Rita herself pointed this out to me. Now this cover on this book-it was designed by Hal K. weeks and even months before the apparition of Our Lady on the bank in Florida. When did you start to design that Hal? (question asked to Harold K.) Almost, two years ago. And the colors were already selected months ago, right? Well if you’ll take the picture of the bank of the apparition of the bank on Florida, and this Rosary Book, you will notice that the colors are the same. To me, that’s a miraculous confirmation of the fact that Our Lady is connecting the apparition site on the bank in Florida with the Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a special way with the rosaries. It’s just phenomenal. You can check the colors out one by one. They’re a little bit brighter on the book, but because of the photography involved I think you can see how they wouldn’t be quite as bright on this. But check out the colors. They’re the same on the Rosary Book and on this. And these colors, as I say, were picked by Hal months and months before the apparition. You can take it for what you want, but for me it’s a miraculous confirmation of this message, that Our Lady chose those same colors which are on the front of her Rosary Book, to show the same colors relative to her apparition there on the bank in Florida.

Messenger:       My dear friends on the Internet,

                            I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with
                         you in love.

                            I write to you as a plea for funds.
                            We really need prayer cards for the
                        priests calling for them.

Prayer for Priests    "Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, we pray that in the great love and mercy of Your Sacred Heart You attend to all the needs of Your priest-shepherds throughout the world. We ask that You draw back to Your Heart all those priests who have seriously strayed from Your path, that You rekindle the desire for holiness in the hearts of those priests who have become lukewarm, and that You continue to give Your fervent priests the desire for the highest holiness. United with Your Heart and Mary’s Heart, we ask that You take this petition to Your heavenly Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen."

                            Please help us.

                            We also have $15,000 bill of printing
                                that needs to be paid.

                            Can you help us.
                            You may indicate what you desire your
                                donation to help.

                            We take credit cards.

Dedication

    I dedicate this book to my beloved Jesus, to my Mother Mary, and to my Spiritual Director Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J.
    This is a labor of love. I present this book to My loving Father in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus with My Mother Mary at my side.

    

    

    This is not a complete study on the Mass. I am not a theologian. I am accounting here my personal experiences on my journey into the Heart of Jesus. I am not an English major. I majored in math and taught this subject in high school and mostly in college. I am a house-wife and mother of four. I have been married since 1969. I write this book because I want to share my love for my beloved Jesus. I love the Eucharist and the Mass so much. I want to write about that. I am accounting my experiences in the Mass and before the tabernacle. Many experiences in this particular book were received during Holy Mass.

    Under the guidance of my spiritual director, Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J., I have accounted my experiences here. He is a major part of all of my enlightenments. I am most grateful for all his gifts and time he has shared with me. This book, which contains many of my journal experiences, is a joint effort of his guidance and my accounting these experiences.

    This book, I hope, will lead you more deeply into the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary, our Mother, through her pure and Immaculate Heart. I hope it will help you to love God more and more through the Mass and the Eucharist. I love you. Rita.

To The Reader

    As Father Carter wrote the Newsletters in the Newsletter Book II, I attended the daily Mass he celebrated and usually another Mass sometimes with my son, sometimes by myself. These writings were basically written then and the year of his death.

    I had very many deep mystical experiences at Mass. Father Carter was a very big help on my spiritual journey. He carefully helped me prepare all of the materials in this book.

    If you read the Newsletters in Book II, you may see a common thread in my writings and his.

    Today I live to grow in a deeper, spousal love union with God. I long for God, to be so deeply united with Him forever in heaven.

    I know Jesus is always with me, loving me and wanting me to love and adore Him, to serve Him and promote His Kingdom.

    My life is lived in this deeper union with my beloved God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

    Naturally Fr. Carter is not here to discern my writing To The Reader but he did discern all others in this book. Oh I have written daily of my experiences at Mass and my continual growth in my union with God.

    I know each Person of the Trinity so deeply.

    Fr. Carter wrote a very important writing on Grace, 33 years before the end of the second millennium, 1967. That writing helped to deepen my love union with God and all others. This writing of Fr. Carter on Grace and his writing on the Mass from his book Response in Christ is at the end of this book.

    Oh I feel I live that section from the Grace writing so deeply Relationship with the Members of the Church, I love this Grace writing so much.

    At Mass I am so one with God, so united to heaven and earth.

    I will include a short excerpt from a current writing.

    Things have changed for me since Fr. Carter died. I feel so much more deeply united to the souls in heaven and on earth.

    I am united with Fr. Carter in a very deep way pleading and begging for this mission.

    Fr. Carter told us in the Movement, "Our Hearts are merged" we all pray united so deeply as a body for our beloved priests, the Church and the world.

    There are more books on the Mass I have already written about my deeper union with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and the souls of heaven and earth and purgatory.

    Also there is a book prepared by Father Carter about our relationship with Mary.

    Oh it is a journey here below and I truly live for deeper union with God and all others and to be more perfected in His love, living as a deep intercessor praying for the priests, the Church and the world.

    The writing on Grace has been recorded by a tremendously wonderful Catholic Priest who has been on the radio for 20 years. It is on CD and audio tape.

    Also the writing on the Mass by Fr. Carter has been recorded by this special priest, Fr. Mike Paraniuk.

    Fr. Mike has celebrated a very powerful Mass for elderly and homebound. This is on video. It is only 30 minutes long.

   Fr. Mike speaks about the Morning Offering on this Mass video.

   Fr. Mike has recorded all 15 decades of the rosary.

   Fr. Carter has so many tapes of the Newsletters.

   We pray daily the prayers for the priests, the Church and the world, we unite and pray at 6:20. Fr. Carter prayed daily at 6:20. These he recorded on tape and disc and are available for you.

   Included are pictures of Fr. Carter celebrating Mass and an excerpt from the Newsletter 2001 #1 as he directed me to write after his death. This too is on disc and tape.  

March 23, 2002 message continues

Messenger:          Here is another portion of that book

Isaiah 12: 2A, 3A

Look, he is the God of my salvation:
I shall have faith and not be afraid,

Joyfully you will draw water 
from the springs of salvation

   

Our offering is most pure as we give our hearts to Jesus and Mary

  

   

Revelations 12: 1-2

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.

   

Matthew 28: 16-20

    Meanwhile the eleven disciples set out for Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had arranged to meet them. When they saw him they fell down before him, though some hesitated. Jesus came up and spoke to them. He said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. And look, I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.'

   

  

Excerpt from the Mass Book

    Oh the Mass, the greatest gift of love between God and man. The Almighty God gives Himself completely to us and we give ourselves to Him. The Bread of Life comes to me and outpours His love, His life to me. The sacrifice is God, He is the Lamb of God, and He gives Himself to us. I love sharing in His divine love. Oh God, open our eyes and give us lights that we may see more clearly the great gift You give us, that we may in this great act of love, give ourselves more completely, that we will worship You and praise You and bow down and adore our most beauteous God. I love You, I love You, oh I love You God, Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Enlighten us that we will treasure this great gift given to us. God gives Himself to man.

  

Prayer for the proper disposition of heart
at the Consecration of the Mass

    Oh God, help me to be so one with you in the Holy Sacrifice. I want to be so deeply united to Mary’s pure Heart so I can be so one with Jesus in offering this holy Sacrifice.

    Oh Father, please look down from heaven and see this holy Sacrifice and outpour your grace on our Church and our world and especially on our priests and our youth.

    Oh God, we cry to you to hear us and help us and outpour Your grace and mercy. We love You so much, and we are so sorry for all our sins and the sins of the human race for all time.

    Help us unite as a body at every moment with the Masses going on around the world, and in offering up our lives as a sacrifice, let us help to bring great grace down on the earth for our priests and the Church and the world.

    Oh God we love you so, we pray this prayer from all our hearts united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We offer it to the Father, united to Jesus in the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, with Mary at our side, and united to all angels and saints and the souls in purgatory. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, help us, protect us, we place our trust in Thee.

    Oh God, help us, We want to make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary for the offenses against them. Holy Spirit, fill us.

    Oh God, we plead to You to grant grace for souls. Help us! Help souls Jesus gave His life for. Help us. Help our children and our priests.

  

    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

  

    When giving the people the little card give them the card "I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love."
  

  
    That makes the offering a most pure offering in Their pure Hearts and all our actions bring down greater grace in Their pure Hearts.

    I love souls so much, a little as He loved them. If I am so united to Him offering my life as a sacrifice united to the Mass to help save souls, it will make a difference. Our lives are so important to His plan. I am one person and my life can make such a difference to help in the salvation of souls when united to His offering of Himself in the Mass through the priest.

    The emotion in my soul is so deep with tear-filled eyes in every word. I am pleading that you help me with the offering of your own lives united to the Mass for the sake of souls and help me reach others to do likewise. I am one person, I give myself as completely as I am able. The body of Christ must realize how important their role is in this in acting in as far as they are able as a priestly people offering sacrifice.

  

Revelations 1: 5-6

and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the First-born from the dead, the highest of earthly kings. He loves us and has washed away our sins with his blood, and made us a Kingdom of Priests to serve his God and Father; to him, then, be glory and power for ever and ever. Amen.

  

Revelations 5: 9-10

They sang a new hymn:

You are worthy to take the scroll
and to break its seals,
because you were sacrificed,
    and with your blood
you bought people for God
of every race, language, people and nation
and made them
    a line of kings and priests for God,
to rule the world.

     

    It is up to us to participate as fully as we can as a body for the sake of souls and to get others to lay down their lives as a sacrifice.

    This means offering up our daily activities united to the Mass. What a waste to not offer up all our sufferings and joys so we can help that great grace can be released.

    My life is centered around the Mass. I am a member of His body, His bride. I offer sacrifice being one in Him for the precious souls He gave His life for.

    I am emotional, for I love so deeply His precious souls and my life here when offered this way can help to bring down great grace for our troubled world.

    Only His grace will change the hearts.

    I want to show you Lucia's vision June 13, 1929.

 

  

    In a few days on July 31, it will be the wonderful feast of our beloved St. Ignatius Loyola. The nine day period before begins July 23. Let's all join together and ask St. Ignatius to intercede to God to grant grace that the Jesuits will help us more and more in this mission. That the Jesuits will help us spreading the priestly newsletter and the consecration and rosary to the earth and all that is needed to help spread the devotion to the Sacred Heart as Jesus desires. We will pray in this 9 day period for ourselves and our calling to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart. We will pray for the Jesuits, whom we love, through the intercession of St. Ignatius.

    I love St. Ignatius so much. Every July 31,  I have received the most wonderful graces on this Feast at Mass that day. I feel really close to St. Francis Xavier, too. I think we should pray through his powerful intercession and that of St. Claude La Columbiere and St. Margaret Mary.

    Let's make this nine day novena praying through their powerful intercession.

  
    Our lives here are important. We are intercessors for souls, intercessors praying for the priests, the Church and the world. We love like He loved and we pray like He did with burning love in our hearts for His precious souls.

  

Luke 12: 49-50

'I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were blazing already! There is a baptism I must still receive, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!

  

From the Mass of St. Ignatius 
  

Timothy 1: 12-17

    I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength. By calling me into his service he has judged me trustworthy, even though I used to be a blasphemer and a persecutor and contemptuous. Mercy, however, was shown me, because while I lacked faith I acted in ignorance; but the grace of our Lord filled me with faith and with the love that is in Christ Jesus. Here is a saying that you can rely on and nobody should doubt: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I myself am the greatest of them; and if mercy has been shown to me, it is because Jesus Christ meant to make me the leading example of his inexhaustible patience for all the other people who were later to trust in him for eternal life. To the eternal King, the undying, invisible and only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

  

Luke 9: 18-26

    Now it happened that he was praying alone, and his disciples came to him and he put this question to them, 'Who do the crowds say I am?' And they answered, 'Some say John the Baptist; others Elijah; others again one of the ancient prophets come back to life.' 'But you,' he said to them, 'who do you say I am?' It was Peter who spoke up. 'The Christ of God,' he said. But He gave them strict orders and charged them not to say this to anyone.

First prophecy of the Passion

    He said, 'The Son of man is destined to suffer grievously, to be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be put to death, and to be raised up on the third day.'

The condition of following Christ

    Then, speaking to all, he said, 'If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross every day and follow me. Anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, will save it. What benefit is it to anyone to win the whole world and forfeit or lose his very self? For if anyone is ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man will be ashamed when he comes in his own glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.

          

My whole life is centered around Him.

The Eucharist is the greatest gift given to us.

Oh that we would cherish this gift and be as He wants.

The Church is His bride.

The faithful are His brides.

We offer sacrifice and partake as we are able in His holy priesthood in being one with Him at Mass.

Lord I give you myself - take all my liberties - my entire will.

Please rule my life, I am your bride, you are the Bridegroom of my soul.

I call You Master.

You are God.

A Priest Is A Precious Gift

    To contemplate the miracle of the Eucharist is so pleasing to me and makes me cry. Jesus is truly with us in His Divinity and Humanity.

    I see the great gift in the priest. A human can look down and see bread and through the words of consecration it is changed into the Body of Jesus and he can look at the cup of wine and the wine is changed into the Blood of Jesus through the words of consecration. 

    I cannot say what is in my heart for this great event and to think God in His goodness remains with us truly present through the hands of a man.

    I cannot imagine what it would be like to have that power in my hands and look down at bread, and then there is Jesus' Body; wine, and then there is Christ's Blood.

    I want to ponder this mystery and thank God for this gift of God truly with us in His Divinity and Humanity.

    Oh, my men, do you see the gift given to man, a human person, to consecrate the bread and wine so they become the Body and Blood of Jesus?

    Oh, my men, do you see the sacredness of it all, that a man can forgive sins?

    Oh, do you see how we must pray for our precious priests and why the devil would work to stop men in anyway from following this vocation?

    Oh, my men, it is indeed the most precious gift, this gift of the priesthood, to realize that Jesus Christ is truly present in His Humanity and Divinity after a man, a priest, has said the words of Consecration.

    Oh, my heart is so filled with this great gift of God. I want so much to lie down and worship our God, for He is so good to us, and the priests are so very, very, very important.

    Yesterday at Mass, I watched as a priest looked down after the Consecration. I just gaped with awe and wonder for this mystery and I knew what a gift this was.

    I cannot adequately write about it, it is a mystery and what my heart knows is so deeply embedded in my soul.

    My heart cries to thank God for His goodness and I want to worship and honor Him and be with Him in His Eucharistic presence within me.

    Oh, God, help the schools and the priests to lead men to an appreciation of the Eucharist and our Church.

    We truly are the bride of Jesus.

    I go to the altar of Sacrifice and I receive Him my Divine God, He is my spouse, I am one with Him in this work to help lead souls to heaven, helping in this Act of Redemption.

    My heart is His, my being I give freely, to be used as His messenger for His holy purpose.

    The miracle of the Eucharist is a mystery that we can ponder with such joy. Joy fills our hearts for this treasure. This is a great gift from God.

    The Shepherds of Christ Movement is to help lead men into greater holiness. Jesus wants our hearts more like His. He desires holiness. He wants our hearts pure.

    The Mass is the gift He gives us. He wants us to unite to this sacrifice. Mary takes us to His Eucharistic Heart. The rosary is an aid to help us grow in our spiritual life. It is a tool against Satan, it is the Mother's prayer given to her children to lead them into insight into knowing more the Mystery of God's love through the grace especially given in lights by the Holy Spirit when we pray the rosary. 

    The Movement, Shepherds of Christ, is to help renew the Church and the world. The Movement must be strong, one that will last, made up of apostles, servants, handmaids and future priests, associates and others that act as intercessors praying for the priests, the Church and the world, and living firmly their life of consecration to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at every moment of our lives.

    We want the Movement to be a strong pillar to help the world.

    Jesus is Chief Shepherd of the Flock.

    We are united in this network of prayer, united as one praying united to the Mass.

    We must turn our lives to consecration, we must unite to this great sacrifice of the Mass.

    His plan is perfect. We must unite to the Chief Shepherd.

    Mary leads men to the Eucharistic Heart of her Son Jesus. 

    Jesus is Chief Shepherd of the Flock.

   

    

ABOUT HIS PASSION

    God loves us so much, we do not fully comprehend how He suffered for the sins of pride and hardness in the hearts of men.

    Jesus was beaten for our sins, crowned with thorns for our lack of love and for the hatred in our hearts.

    Jesus paid the price for our sins and His Heart hurt so much because of His most perfect love. We are responsible for hurting Jesus in the passion when we are haughty and prideful and do not tell the truth and do not forgive.

Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

Sacrifice - interior offering.

See the altar of sacrifice.

See the priest offer sacrifice to God.

See Lucia's vision.

  

  

    The Sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present.

    See the Father and the Holy Spirit and Mary, the most pure, sinless, human person - Mary stands by the altar with her Immaculate Heart.

    See Lucia, a human person tainted by sin beneath the altar.

    See the grace and mercy as she saw in the vision flowing from Christ, the Mediator, between us and God.

    At every Mass we offer the bread and wine, and listen to the words at the Mass.

    The bread and wine are changed to His Body and His Blood through the hands of the priest.

    We want our offering, our sacrifice to be a most pleasing offering to the Father.

    We offer sacrifice to the Deity for our sins.

    At every Mass see that we are coming to God to offer the most pleasing sacrifice to the Father, the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus, for our sins.

    We want to make reparation to our God for our sins.

See this:		see the altar
		see the sacrifice
		see our act of offering ourselves united to His pure offering of Himself
		see the offering is most pleasing to our God
		think of God's joy that we come and offer sacrifice

    In the Morning Offering we unite everything we do as a sacrifice (an offering), united to this most pleasing sacrifice, offered to the Father in all the Masses going on around the world.

    What is your role as a  SHEPHERD OF CHRIST —

    TO BE AN INTERCESSOR PRAYING FOR THE PRIESTS, THE CHURCH, AND THE WORLD.

 

THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM AND IN HIM

 

    We unite everything we do to Jesus, the Mediator, between us and God.

    A most pleasing sacrifice, offered for our sins and the sins of the world.

    WE LAY DOWN OUR LIVES LIKE THE GOOD SHEPHERD LAID DOWN HIS LIFE.
    WE DO IT IN THE MORNING OFFERING UNITED TO THE MASSES GOING ON AROUND THE WORLD.
    WE LOVE TO ATTEND MASS.

    WE SHOULD SEE THE ALTAR OF SACRIFICE AS SOON AS WE ENTER CHURCH.

  

 

    

SEE THE PRIEST BEHIND THE ALTAR.
JESUS OFFERS THE SACRIFICE THROUGH THE HANDS OF THE SPECIALLY ANOINTED PRIEST.

JESUS IS THE CHIEF PRIEST.

SEE JESUS AT THE MASS.
SEE JESUS OFFERING SACRIFICE.
SEE JESUS IN THE PRIEST.

JESUS IS THE CHIEF PRIEST AND VICTIM.
JESUS IS GOD.

WE OFFER SACRIFICE TO THE DEITY.
WE OFFER OURSELVES UNITED TO JESUS.

THE FATHER LOOKS DOWN AND SEES THE SACRIFICE OF HIS SON.

THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM AND IN HIM
__________________________________

WE UNITE WITH OUR DIVINE BRIDEGROOM--HE GIVES HIMSELF TO US IN HOLY COMMUNION.

The words of the Mass are so beautiful.

We see how we tell God we are sorry for our sins in the beginning of Mass. We want to offer a pure sacrifice.

The priest washes his hands at the offertory.

OUR OFFERING WILL BE MORE PURE AS WE OFFER SACRIFICE THROUGH MARY'S IMMACULATE HEART. OUR SACRIFICE WILL BE MORE PURE, THE MORE WE GO THROUGH THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS.

AS WE OFFER OUR LIVES WE MUST:

    1.  CONSECRATE OUR HEARTS TO THE HEARTS OF JESUS AND MARY.
            WE WANT A MOST PURE AND HOLY OFFERING. 

    2.   UNITE EVERY MOMENT OF OUR LIVES TO THE MASS.

We help in the act of redemption by uniting to the Mass.

Now I refer to our founder's chapter on the Mass.

The last 5 days we have presented an in-depth discussion by our founder, from his book, Response in Christ.  

It must be studied and read and reread and one should pray for grace to understand what God is revealing through his writing. Reading his book will help us understand, more and more, insight into the divine mysteries.

God speaks to us through them.

Pray through the Intercession of the Saints

November 1^st is All Saints Day.

    More and more I realize my connectedness to God and the power in the Mass. The Mass is going on all over the world at every moment. We want to unite our whole life to the reservoir of God's grace, praying for souls.

   

   

    The saints are one with God.

    We need to pray through their powerful intercession.

    God may answer our prayers when we pray through a particular saint because He wants us to honor that saint.

    I pray through the intercession of the Jesuit saints, St. Ignatius, St. Xavier, St. Aloysius, St. Robert. Pray through St. Boniface and all apostles, and especially St. Joseph, all popes in heaven and all priests, Padre Pio, St. Rita, St. Edward, St. Margaret Mary, St. Claude de la Columbiere, St. Francis, St. Clare, St. Philomena, St. Bridget, St. Bernadette, St. Cecilia. Pray through the powerful intercession of Jacinta and Francisco, especially for the building.

    Let All Saints Day and All Souls Day be great days to be united in a new way in our lives to all the saints and all the souls in purgatory and all souls on the earth.

    Let us utilize the great gift of uniting to the saints and angels and praying through their powerful intercession united to the Mass. We are one in Him.
