Excerpt from March 25, 2005 message
I was in the Vatican Chapel at 11:00am Good
Friday last year --
and finished at noon where the Blessed Sacrament was exposed.
I received this message --
March 25, 2005 - On Good Friday 11:00 - 12:00 am
Messenger: And He saw before Him
all the men that would be
lost
forever.
Into
the darkest night I have gone my God and seen the
sufferings
of the souls in sin, for it is for You we
live
and are born here to this valley of tears.
Into
Your hands I commend my spirit -
Oh
God hear my prayer and be attentive to my supplication.
Dark
nights are just these - a condition, a state
that
God allows us to share in to experience
His
passion.
I
look into the soul, God, and see as You have asked
me
to read and plead for the innocent, the depraved,
the
ones You gave Your life for.
Oh
God hear my prayer and let my cry come unto Thee -
A
dark night is a night without light -
the
dark nights may
be
the very openings to the door that leads to
Your
precious light and showering of grace
upon
us.
A
night was richly blessed when the Savior
shed
His Blood from His pores, in such
anguish
seeing before Him the souls that
would
be lost forever despite His suffering
and
death.
Oh
Heart of Jesus hear the plaintiff cry of Your servant
suffering
and in pain for the sin in the world and
Your
Blood You shed to save us.
Oh
Savior, Incarnate, born of the Woman, Mary Immaculate,
outpour
Your gifts on the poor banished children
of
Eve for we are the children walking in the
shaded
light of imperfections and sin offending
You
by our arrogant and prideful ways.
When
it is docility and obedience You desire of us -
Oh
Blood shed on the cross, from You our precious
Savior,
wash us in Your Blood and feed us with
Your
Body and Your Word that our hearts will
be
filled with You, our Divine Precious God.
Sufferings
are sufferings and looking into His
face
we see the Head of the Savior crowned with thorns,
the
Blood pouring out of His precious wounds and
we
see Him - His "yes" in suffering - suffering so
severe,
suffering of the God-Head for His precious
souls
- suffering from the love outpoured by
His
unquenchable Heart of love.
Oh
God let us Bleed as we watch You with the
Blood
of love for the souls You gave Your life for -
Can
our partaking in that Holy Sacrifice of the Mass be
such
an offering to You our precious God that the
streams
of grace will flow with unquenchable
love
for the souls He gave His life for.
April 5, 2001
March 25, 2005 message continues
Jesus speaks: Look into
My face and see Me before You, suffering for
love
of you - For you suffer from knowing My gifts
given
to men and they are as blind men running some on
a
race (headed) for hell. Oh let their eyes be opened that they
would
see with the light of 7 suns, but they close
their
eyes and see little for they have painted the gold of
the
earth like pictures on their eyes-lids and they
gaze
at them the day long.
Oh
let My Spirit fill your souls and your souls be filled
with
My grace and My Blood wash you in the robes of
salvation.
Blood
is on your hands, but is it the blood of deceit
and
hatefulness, the bitterness one holds for your brothers,
the
pride of indecency and you ignore the speck in your
eye
and the rocks in your hearts. Rocks of hatred,
rocks
to clog the vessel far more than the grease
you
consider so important to your life here below.
It
is rocks that clog the vessels of your heart to
embrace
the things of the Savior.
Oh
the well cared garden - one flowing with milk and honey,
water
trickling from a little vine, sweetly given the
dew
of morning - oh you and your sour grapes, you watch
them
shrivel before your eyes and count calories for your
bodies
neglecting the things of the soul -
Let
the courtyard ring with the song of angels
and
the blossoms hear the sound and display the
dew
of morning like a dress adorned for the
King
of Glory.
You
pick My blossoms, shaking off the dew
of
the new day - you stamp on the grapes and
use
My gardens for sounds that shake the earth with
terror.
When
I gave you the birds to sing to you - you came
in
with a chainsaw and cut down the tree that
carried
the quartet and they flew away like the
grapes
you have tramped underfoot.
For
you, many, are so prideful in your hearts and
your
songs are not songs of love to Me - to one hanging
on
the tree of life - you missed My tree - you
see
only a man and don't even look to the wood
of
the cross. I carried your sins on My back -
and
My Blood was hanging on the tree -
Oh
the tree of Adam and Eve -
Do
you see it?
Now
look at your trees of scrupulous pleasures -
Nobody
can get you to look at your
money
trees hanging with clumps of gold and
I
long to see the sweet grapes - full and
plentiful,
healthy, sweet for
the
Father.
Oh
your apples are your gods -
your
hands are not pierced with nails -
likened
to the Savior -
They
are decorated with nails of stars and
blues
and rainbows - long and gaudy -
gaudy
- not hands that are God-like
Oh
look at the hands and see how the hands of
My
creatures have sinned
And
the head that has robbed Me of
the
talents to help promote My
Kingdom
- when brains were given
to
the men how many used them to
sin
and lead others to sin -
The
Blood teamed into My eyes - how
many
have used their eyes to sin and lead others into
sin
And
the tongue by which I enter your body -
How
very dishonorable has many tongues become -
The
ears I gave you to hear - My Blood poured
into
My ears from My thorns and
you
have sinned with your ears, making
movies
and songs for others to sin majorly
with
ears and eyes.
My
Blood I shed - My eyes caked with dried
Blood
- My ears welled up with the
Blood
of the Savior for your sins
My
feet - they pounded nails into My feet - for
all
the ways you have walked that
led
you to sin -
Why
do you not walk the way of the Savior -
Why
do you not see with your eyes -
Taste
My Body and Blood with your tongue -
Listen
to the birds sing songs of love and
My
Heart was pierced with the lance -
My
Heart, how I suffered for those who would
reject
Me, the anguish to My Heart
was
far greater than the pain to My
Body,
wrought with suffering
for
your sins -
Oh
you have dishonored the image of Mary
the
Father sent you and ignored the
gifts
of Our Love outpoured.
January 2, 1999
Mary speaks: I am Our Lady of Snows. I come to cover the earth with a soft white
blanket of my love.
I come to bring peace to the earth. I tell you to let go of the anxiety in your heart
and experience my peace and His love.
I am your heavenly Mother. I come to hold you and caress you and take you to my
Immaculate Heart.
Mary's
Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996
Mary speaks: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my
Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw
Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I
suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the
love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light
into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried
for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose
their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I
appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not
deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You
do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I
appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I
cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for
them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold
back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children.
You are my children of light.

Jesus speaks:
Come to Me - My Heart
is ablaze for thee -
My
love for thee is real and
I
am your God - I have given you
Myself
- I am your God - I have
Shed
My Blood for you and I give you
Myself
in the Holy Eucharist.
Messenger: At the end at 12:00
a
person came up about 1 foot from me in
my
pew and they hit their head on
the
floor continually and jerked
all
over the floor.
4
men came up and took the person out.
When
I left at noon Good Friday -- it was so crowded
I
could not move, barely, to leave the Vatican.
Matthew 17: 14-20
As they were rejoining the crowd a man came up to him and went down on
his knees before him. ‘Lord,’ he said, ‘take pity on my son: he is
demented and in a wretched state; he is always falling into fire and
into water. I took him to your disciples and they were unable to cure
him.’ In reply, Jesus said, ‘Faithless and perverse generation! How much
longer must I be with you? How much longer must I put up with you? Bring
him here to me.’ And when Jesus rebuked it the devil came out of the
boy, who was cured from that moment.
Then the disciples came privately to Jesus. ‘Why were we unable to drive
it out?’ they asked. He answered, ‘Because you have so little faith. In
truth I tell you, if your faith is the size of a mustard seed you will
say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” and it will move;
nothing will be impossible for you.'

Excerpt from August 9, 2000
Oh, there is not one so fair as
thee, my beloved Mother Mary.
Of all the
maidens that God could have chosen it was you, oh shining Star of Heaven.
Oh Mary, Mother
of us all.
She doth appear
as a wonder so fair indeed,
A
permanent sign of God's love.
A Woman
clothed in gold.
One that glistens
with the radiance of a golden tone,
Her beauty
dancing in the sunlit hours of every day.
In morning
splendor, in dancing light at noon day as the sun glistens on her rainbow glow and at night she has appeared on special dates in golden splendor and
light.
Would you quote
the Scripture for Mary so fair.
"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." (Revelation 12: 1-2)
Would you see her as she appeared in little villages in the 20th century, tucked in hills and out of the way places.
If you missed
these enormous signs from heaven, of one so fair, she appears there clothed in the golden
sun of the day, reflecting her radiant beauty painted by the hand of the Father. She is
His chosen maiden so fair.
She appears
daily, she is there by day and beneath the black shadows of night, she does not slumber,
but calls to her children of light to come through her golden doorway and let the light of
Christ shine in their souls.
She appears one
so fair, by day and sometimes by night clothed in radiance and golden, her garment hemmed
with glistening sunlight. She once appeared to a few and her visits fleeting in remotest
places, she remains a Woman Clothed with the Sun, the sun dancing on her garments of
rainbow color on a busy, busy corner for all to see, in the state of the sun, sunny
Florida. She is a Woman painted by the brush of God.
And do you know
the wonder of one who calls the children far and wide, to hear the voice of her Son,
Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock.
Mary, the
heavenly maiden, to call them home to His Heart.
Oh, of one so
fair, do we not boast and praise our God and thank Him for such a wonder.
Oh, to Mary,
Queen of Heaven and Earth, we cry, help us to do what you asked for at Fatima and help us
in our mission of telling the world of your Son's desire to spread His Movement so men
will be Shepherds of Christ.

A Mystery of Light
on the
Feast of the Annunciation
Song between decades: A Song from Jesus
Baptism of Jesus
1.
Then Jesus appeared: he came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John. John
tried to dissuade him, with the words, ‘It is I who need baptism from you, and yet
you come to me!’ But Jesus replied, ‘Leave it like this for the time being; it
is fitting that we should, in this way, do all that uprightness demands.’ Then John
gave in to him.
And when Jesus had been baptised he
at once came up from the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of
God descending like a dove and coming down on him. Matthew 3: 13-16
2.
The next day, he saw Jesus coming towards him and said, ‘Look, there is
the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. It was of him that I said,
"Behind me comes one who has passed ahead of me because he existed before me." I
did not know him myself, and yet my purpose in coming to baptise with water was so that he
might be revealed to Israel.’ And John declared, ‘I saw the Spirit come down on
him like a dove from heaven and rest on him. I did not know him myself, but he who sent me
to baptise with water had said to me, "The man on whom you see the Spirit come down
and rest is the one who is to baptise with the Holy Spirit." I have seen and I
testify that he is the Chosen One of God.’ John 1: 29-34
3.
The Pathos of Life
I heard recently about a local man who
has contracted cancer of the lung, has lost his business in bankruptcy, and, to add to his
misery, is being evicted from his home. I'm told that when one visits this man in
his hospital room, it's easily observable that he has a hard time fighting back the tears.
As he sees his world in many ways crumpling about him, he must feel like a
modern-day Job. And perhaps in his own way he is prayerfully whispering words similar to
those of Job:
Naked I came forth from my
mother's
womb,
and
naked shall I go back again.
The Lord gave and the Lord has
taken
away;
blessed
be the name of the Lord!
(Jb.
1:21)
Excerpt from Everyday and It's
Possibilities by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J. p. 22
4.
For the Christian to behold the pathos of life is
not an experience of despair—a no-exit kind of thing. We can
see human misery and suffering of such magnitude that we are made to weep, and yet our
tears should be permeated with Christian hope. We can and should shed such hope-filled
tears of pathos because we are recipients of the eternal answer to human suffering. That
eternal answer is Jesus Himself. Jesus shows that man has a way out from suffering—that
the proper encounter with suffering is itself man's escape. Jesus has shown us that pain
and suffering properly endured lead to life. The pathos of Jesus, that element in His life
powerfully capable of evoking compassion, is, then, a pathos mixed with the greatest hope.
Excerpt from Everyday and It's Possibilities by
Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J. pp. 22-23
5. R. We as Christians should see
DEATH -RESURRECTION
6. R. Jesus has come so that we could have
a
special sharing in His life through
baptism.
7. R. Jesus has come that we can someday
have life to the full with Him
in heaven, but He expects us to love
Him, serve Him, keep His commands
and try to live according to the Father's will.
And we can receive a heavenly reward.
8. R. Jesus is the Savior

And when Jesus had been baptised he at once came up from the water, and
suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming
down on him. And suddenly there was a voice from heaven, ‘This is my Son, the
Beloved; my favour rests on him.’ Matthew 3: 16-17
10. R. These are the mysteries of light.

October 11, 1994 - Take Shelter From the Rain in My Heart
(
Messenger:
I saw a vision in my heart of a little wet
child standing by a tree in the storm in a dark night. Just a little light,
enough to see the child.)
Jesus:
You are this
little child. You are in the storm. The wind and the rain are beating down on
you. You are cold. You are wet, as wet as you can be. You stand by a tree and
the wind beats against you and the rain pounds harder.
My child, My child, there is such shelter in My most Sacred
Heart. Come into My Heart, child. You will be protected from the wind that blows
so hard on you. You will be out of the rain. It may pound down all around you,
but your refuge is found in My Heart. My Heart is a burning furnace of love. See
yourself, little child, stand by the tree and whimper and you want to go it
alone? Let My Mother lead you by the hand. You, little child, come with Mary,
your Mother. Let her take you to the shelter of My Heart.
John 14:6
I am the Way; I am Truth and Life....
There is not life without Me. My life I give to you that you
will have life and have it abundantly. Today I give you My very own Heart on
fire for love of you. Come to Me through Mary's pure and tender Heart. We will
shelter you in the darkest storm.
Messenger:
When I am
filled up with Your love, Lord, I do not whimper as a little child. I am filled
with love and peace and joy. Take me, Mary, to the Heart of your very dear Son
and place me there forever in a little pocket surrounded by His ardent love. I
want to be lost deeply in the recesses of this Heart. How deep do you place me
in His Heart? I want to be surrounded by the immense love of Father, Son and
Holy Spirit and know, Mary, you are so closely united in this Heart!
This is the comfort in the dark, windy, wet night. This is my
refuge. This is my life. This is the closest I can come to heaven on earth - to
be united in such love with the Trinity and Mary!
Help me to let go of it all and come as a little child,
running from the rain to the warmest shelter. A roaring fire, warmth,
dry clothes and light - the light radiated by the Heart of Jesus. In the
darkness I find my light in You. Alleluia. Praise God, Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. Love to my beloved Mother. This is bliss.
Song: I am Your Sacred Heart
Marriage at Cana
1.
And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and
the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman,
what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants,
‘Do whatever he tells you.’ There were six stone water jars
standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold
twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’
and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take
it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and
it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who
had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said,
‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined;
but you have kept the best wine till now.’ John 2: 3-10
2. R. Some same songs are played at funerals
and weddings
i.e. On Eagles Wings
All I ask of you
3. R. Our hope to be embraced by the Divine God
and have the fullness of life can be called the
beatific vision.
Men and women marry
and they can
physically unite to have children.
When we go to the
Eucharist we deeply
unite spiritually with Jesus.
He is the
bridegroom of our soul.
4. R. At the marriage of Cana Jesus turned
ordinary water into wine -
At Mass bread and
wine is changed into the
Body and Blood of Jesus.
5. R. We become more and more spiritually
united to Our Divine God.
6. R. Through baptism we receive a special
sharing in God's life - the life
of the Trinity dwelling within
the graced soul.
7. R. At Mass ordinary bread and wine becomes
the Body and Blood of Jesus and
we unite in deep love with
our beloved Jesus, the Bridegroom
of our soul -
8. R. See Jesus the Divine Bridegroom,
giving Himself to us at Mass.
9. Excerpt from May 21, 1998
Jesus speaks: ... I give you messages after the reception of the
Eucharist for it is then I am most one with you....
10. R. When Mary told Jesus about the wine,
Jesus performed the
first public
miracle - He changed
water
into wine.
Excerpt from November 13, 1996 rosary
(one month before Mary appeared on
the building)
Messenger: ... Mary, that we will be united in
one heart, that we will be united in the Hearts of love, the Hearts of Jesus and Mary,
that our hearts will burn for love for each other. We are one body in Him. Look at how we
are. We beep our horns at each other and say vile things and many curse the Lord. Are our
hearts cold or are our hearts a burning furnace as Jesus wants us to be?

Proclamation of the Kingdom of God
Matthew 5: 1-3
Seeing the crowds, he went onto the mountain. And when he was
seated his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak. This is
what he taught them:
How blessed are the poor in spirit:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
1. Excerpt from November 13, 1996 Rosary
Jesus speaks: You are My soldiers of love.
I am asking you this day to consecrate your hearts all through the day. To give yourself
to Me. I am Jesus. I gave Myself for love of you.
R. Being one with Jesus will help us
build God's Kingdom.
2. R. Today is the Feast of the Annunciation,
March 25, 2006 -
Jesus said to read this
message
September 11, 1994 - Mary's Heart
R. It is through Mary's heart I know the Heart of Jesus more.
She carried Him in her womb. She took Him to the temple. She fled with Him into Egypt. She
lost Him for a brief time. She cared for Him all through His young life. She watched Him
heal the sick and preach the love of God. She watched the gentle ways of God. She knew His
joy and suffering. She knew His Heart. She walked next to Him on Calvary and peered into
His eyes. She stood under His cross and watched Him die. She held His lifeless body. She
cried outside of His tomb and she saw His beautiful body after the Resurrection. She saw
Him ascend into heaven.
How well does the heart of Mary know and love the Heart of Jesus! She is closer to Him
than is any other human person. The Father and Holy Spirit are one with Him. It is through
this knowing of His most tender Heart that she wants to place us so tenderly into Jesus'
Heart. She, who knows His Heart so well, she who is without sin, she who is close to Him,
she who loved Jesus and knew Him so dearly, she is the way to reach the deepest part of
His Heart. She is the door to Jesus. It is through her heart that I am most closely united
in deepest love with my Jesus.
Mary knows the Father's love. It was He Who created her sinless and
chose her to be the Mother of His Son. She knew well the love of her Spouse, the Holy
Spirit. She was filled with the Holy Spirit when Jesus was conceived. She was filled with
the Holy Spirit at Elizabeth's house. She was filled all through her life. She was filled
on Pentecost. She knew the love of the Holy Spirit. She is the human person closest to
God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It is through her most knowing and loving heart that we
will reach the deepest intimacy with God.
Prayer: Mary, through your Immaculate Heart, place us in the deepest
part of Jesus' Heart so we can more deeply love Him. It is through your heart and Jesus'
Heart we want to have a deeper union with the Father.
Dear Holy Spirit, impart to us Your gifts to lead us to such love, to
union with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Lead us in Your ways to know God and love Him
more fully. Give us all Your seven gifts: Wisdom, Knowledge, Piety, Fear of the Lord,
Understanding, Fortitude, Counsel. Lead us to greater union with God. Impart to us the
fire of Your love. Where we were once blind, let us see. Fill us with Your love, Oh, Holy
Spirit, through Mary's Immaculate Heart, we pray. Amen.
3. R. Mary is the most perfect disciple.
4.
Act of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
"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."
5.
Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus "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!
6. R. Spreading the consecration of the 2 Hearts
all over the world is promoting
God's Kingdom.
Excerpt from December 6, 1996
Messenger: The Father looks to the earth; He sees much darkness.
The Father looks to the earth. There are few hearts fervently in love with God. The
hearts of love light up the earth. It is as lights on a Christmas tree. It is sparsely
lighted by a few hearts. Therefore, the tree looks dark.
As the Shepherds of Christ Movement spreads (as well as other movements focused on
spreading consecration to Their Hearts) the tree is covered with more hearts and the earth
becomes more lighted.
The tree is covered with hearts consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The tree
is illuminated.
As the Shepherds of Christ apostles spread the consecration to the Church, the family,
and the school, the tree is covered with lights and the earth is covered with the fire of
His love.
The Father looks to the earth now. He is displeased with the hearts of men. The Father
wants us to love God and love each other. He wants us to live according to His will in
love.

There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and
his clothes became as dazzling as light. And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to
them; they were talking with him. Matthew 17: 2-3

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.’ Matthew
17: 5

When they heard this, the disciples fell on their faces, overcome with fear.
But Jesus came up and touched them, saying, ‘Stand up, do not be afraid.’ And
when they raised their eyes they saw no one but Jesus. Matthew 17: 6-8

preach the Gospel message, the message of the love of God.
3. Let us meditate on the mystery of God’s love. Let us put aside all of the
distractions in our minds and focus only on His abundant love. He is outpouring to us such
love in this room as we pray the rosary. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, remains in the
tabernacle and longs to communicate with us. He wants to be so close to us! I know what He
is saying this day. He tells me He longs to be so close to us! He is the sweetest and most
tender Lover and He is waiting and waiting by the door of our heart.

but oh how I do indeed love them so.

Prayer
Jesus: My beloved companion, tell My people about the great importance of
prayer. Prayer plays an indispensable role in the process of sanctification and ultimate
salvation. Let My little ones come to Me daily in prayer. I especially want My people to
pray before the tabernacle. When they do so, I give them special graces. The prayer of My
people should be filled with love for Me, My Father, the Holy Spirit, and My Mother.
Pressed against their Mother's heart, and under her guidance, let My people come to My
Sacred Heart. Each day they should take up their refuge in My Heart, and there enter into
the deepest prayer. They should put all worries and anxieties aside and pray from the
heart. I take their prayer to the Father in the Holy Spirit. My people, I want you to
pray, pray, pray! During prayer I make you especially aware of My great love for you.
During prayer I ask for your return of love. During prayer I especially allow you to
experience peace and joy. The crosses you bear are no obstacle to this. In fact, when you
bear your crosses properly—that is, according to My Father's will—you experience
increased peace and joy. My people, listen to My words. I am Lord and Master. I love you
with the most tender love!"
Reflection: In the above message, Jesus reminds us of the great
importance of prayer. Our greatest prayer is our participation in the Mass. Outside the
time of Mass, Jesus tells us how important it is to pray before the tabernacle. The
practice of prayer is extremely important for ongoing growth in our love relationship with
Jesus, the Father, the Holy Spirit, and with Mary. It is also critical for our growth in
love of neighbor.

The Indwelling of the Trinity
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, I have given you a great desire to
pray to the Divine Persons many times during the day. This can be done in a way which does
not interfere with your daily duties. Rather, you have learned that this prayerful contact
with Father, Son, and Holy Spirit enhances your ability to work for God and neighbor.
Remind My people that when one is in the state of grace, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
dwell within that person in a most special way. We are within those in the state of grace
to receive their acts of faith, hope, and love.
"So many of My people are not aware of the precious treasure which dwells within
them! Tell My people to pray for a growing awareness of this marvelous truth! Through the
graces which flow from the great love of My pierced Heart, My people are called to develop
the greatest intimacy with the Divine Persons. Please, do not waste these graces! I am
Lord and Master, and in My great love, I ask that all comply with My request!"
Reflection: In the Gospel of John, Jesus tells us:
"If anyone loves me he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we
shall come to him and make our home with him" (John 14:23).
Jesus does not explicitly mention the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in this particular
passage. However, we know that, where the Father and Son reside, so also does the Spirit.
In the above message from Jesus, He speaks to us about this truth of the Indwelling of
the Blessed Trinity in the souls of the just. What a tremendous gift! How much do we
appreciate this gift? Do we take the means to develop our relationship with the Divine
Persons Who dwell within? Many would go all out for the opportunity to receive one of the
world's dignitaries into their homes. When we are in the state of grace, the Divine
Persons grace us with Their presence. What a tremendous dignity is bestowed upon us!
Sadly, many seem to be more enthused about being in the presence of this world's
dignitaries than they are regarding the presence of the Triune God!

Mary as Our Mediatrix
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, I have given you a profound conviction of how
necessary it is to realize I am your motherly mediatrix with Jesus. I have been appointed
by the Triune God. Constantly remind all my little ones of this great truth! The more my
little ones give themselves to my maternal and Immaculate Heart, the more I bring them to
the Heart of Jesus!"
Reflection: Some mistakenly think that Mary "gets in the way" of their
relationship with Jesus. How far from the truth is this erroneous attitude. Mary's role in
our salvation has been willed by God. Enough said!

~ Eucharist—Mass
~
"The Eucharist (The Mass) is a multi-splendored
reality. It is, for example, a narrative. In the Liturgy of the Word we listen to the
greatest love story of all time. It is the story of God's lavish self-communication in
love to the human family throughout the course of salvation history. This story includes
certain central figures, such as Moses, David, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Mary, Joseph, the
Apostles, and, of course, Jesus Himself. The entire Liturgy of the Word focuses upon
Christ, delineating from various perspectives this most important figure of all human
history.
"There are other dimensions to the Mass. The
Eucharist is a memorial, as it calls to mind the life, death, and resurrection of the
Lord. The Eucharist is likewise a sacrifice, an offering. This particular aspect includes
all the other dimensions, and gathers them together in a wondrous unity. The Eucharist,
then, is the sacramental renewal, the sign-renewal of Jesus' earthly offering. This
sign-renewal contains what it signifies. Very importantly, to Jesus' offering of Himself
to the Father, we add the offering of ourselves. The closing of the Eucharistic offering
highlights another dimension of the Mass—the fact that it is a meal. The Eucharist as
meal is rich in symbolism. Here is Jesus' self-giving love to us. Here is symbolized our
commitment to Jesus, as we are intimately united to Him in the reception of the Eucharist.
Here is signified our union with one another as we receive the one Christ, the sign and
cause of unity among ourselves. Furthermore, the Eucharist is also a celebration—the
joyous recall of the Christ event. As with all celebrations, the Eucharistic Liturgy,
through its ritual, reminds us that this is a special occasion. These are some of the
varied aspects of Jesus' great gift to us, the Eucharist.
"From whatever perspective we approach the
Eucharist, we see that participation in it involves personal contact. First of all, the
Eucharist brings us into special union with God in Christ. In each Eucharist, God's
communication occurs through Jesus, and this God-gift is supremely personal. God offers us
love, tenderness, mercy, and a sensitive concern for our personal uniqueness, strengths,
weaknesses, hopes, and fears. God invites us to come closer, and not to be afraid of the
divine transforming touch. God wants us to allow the Divine Will to guide our existence
amid all the myriad aspects of life within the human condition. Strengthened and inspired
by the Eucharistic Christ, we are moved to say "yes" to God's invitation. With
Jesus we feel warm and secure, encouraged to live out our "yes" with Him and
through Him. Our fears fade into the background as we thus meet Jesus in the Eucharist, as
we experience His loving embrace reach deep down where we really live. From past
situations, we know that living out our response will have its share of pain, frustration,
and hardship. Each Eucharistic meeting with Christ, however, reminds us that if we can do
nothing without Jesus, with Him we can do all He wants of us. As our union with Jesus
deepens, we come to realize with increased conviction that His love for us and ours for
Him can surmount all difficulties:
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor present things, nor future things, nor powers, nor
height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God
in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom. 8:38-39).
"The Eucharist is a special source of union not
only with God, but also with the members of the Christian community. Through the
Eucharistic Christ we should become more aware of the bonds of faith and love that unite
us. Through the Eucharistic Christ we derive the light and the strength to work against
those forces which disrupt the love and unity of the Christian community—jealousies,
pettiness, callous unconcern for the other, ruthless politics, backbiting, lack of
teamwork, refusal to love because of wounded feelings. In union with the Eucharistic
Christ we receive the light and the strength to develop those forces which build up
community—selflessness, a desire to see others succeed, the supportive word, a
willingness to give sincere praise for a job well done, a sense of compassion and empathy,
a deep-rooted desire to really love others as one loves himself or herself.
"The Eucharist, then, deepens our union with
God and with the members of the Christian community. The Eucharist also deepens our union
with non-Christians. The Eucharistic Christ enlightens us, strengthens us, inspires us to
give of ourselves in order that the entire human family may better achieve its destiny.
The Eucharist takes quiet hold of us and makes us firmly realize that everyone really is
our brother or our sister. The Eucharist allows us not only to realize this awesome truth,
but also gives us the desire and strength to live accordingly.
"In summary, the Eucharist deepens our
relationship with God, with one another, with the entire human race. The Eucharist
accomplishes this in each of us—to the degree that we open ourselves to its
transforming influence."1
NOTES:
1. Edward Carter, S.J., The Pain and the Joy, Chapter 5
9. From Priestly Newsletter Book II
Father Edward Leen, C.S. Sp., gives us these inspiring words: "The...knowledge we
have acquired of the Heart of Jesus stimulates us to penetrate further into its depths,
and is accompanied by the ardent desire to eliminate the unlikeness that exists between
the movement of His Heart and those of our own. The study of Him excites in us the desire
to become like Him as man. And then when our life and acts bear a resemblance to those of
Jesus, God comes and pours His Divinity into our souls in abundance, lavishes on them the
gifts of His grace, and gradually breaking down the barriers that exist between creature
and Creator, initiates souls into the happiness that accompanies union with the Divinity.
Great happiness results from this union, even in the imperfect mode of it that belongs to
the condition of our state of exile on earth. This is the whole theory of sanctity. The
initiative in the giving of grace comes from God. He gives to all who do not present an
obstacle to His giving. ...Accordingly, as Our Heavenly Father sees the souls of His
adopted children assuming the features of the soul of His Only-Begotton Son, He dispenses
His treasures more freely. He gives in proportion to the degree of resemblance what He
discerns us to bear to Jesus in the conduct of our life. This is the meaning of those
mysterious words that were heard from Heaven on the occasion of the Transfiguration, 'This
is my beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased, hear ye Him' (Mt.17:5). It is also the
explanation of St. Paul's teaching, the whole burden of which was that the Christian
should learn of Christ."3

..."Jesus, I love You." Take that moment to spend time with Him, loving Him,
and He will strengthen us. He wants our love. He wants us to long and to thirst for His
love. He wants us to tell Him we love Him. He is a Person. He wants us to love Him. He
gave His life for us. Will we give our hearts to Him?

(Excerpt)
Messenger: ...I want to lead others to meditate on
Jesus' life - His life at birth and Mary's life, lived in the rosary. From the youthful
face to the old woman she became, from her joy to her deep sorrow. I see Mary's face alive
in the statues. A parade of faces, all the emotions of the heart, for us, relived in every
rosary! This is our call: to be likened to Christ. I must meditate on Christ and His life.
This will help me grow in my love relationship with Jesus and Mary in the rosary. I love
the rosary because it is their lives. His life was given for love of us. He gives Himself
to us this day in the Eucharist. We must live their lives to put on Christ. A Christian is
one who acts like Christ. They will know we are Christians by our love. To love like
Christ, we must meditate on His life with Mary.
I am called by Mary to lead others to the love of her
precious Son. When I live as Christ and Mary did, then I will preach the gospel in my
life. Do I act like Christ? Look at our lives and see if we are acting like Him today.
Study Him in the rosary. Learn about His love, poured out for us in the Eucharist. Sit
with Him in front of the tabernacle and pray the rosary, slowly, from the heart, and
meditate on His life and the life of His Mother.
Sit alone with Him and learn of His love for us, this
day. Be silent in front of the tabernacle. He will speak in the silence. We are given such
gifts of His love. We should live Jesus' and Mary's lives in the rosary!

When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on

are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in
me now.
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. (refrain)

Thoughts on the Eucharist
The Eucharist is the chief source of growth in the
spiritual life. We priests, called to have a special kind of union with Christ, should
have a unique desire to grow in appreciation of the Eucharist. It is in the Eucharist that
we unite with Jesus’ paschal mystery in a special way. Here are some reflections on
the Eucharist, Jesus’ great gift of love to us:
- Pope John Paul II tells us: “The Church and the
world have a great need of Eucharistic adoration. Jesus waits for us in the sacrament of
love. Let us be generous with our time in going to meet him in adoration and contemplation
that is full of faith and ready to make reparation for the great faults and crimes of the
world. May our adoration never cease.”10
Archbishop Luis M. Martinez offers us these inspiring
words: “If we could dispose ourselves at least to think about what He suffered for
each one of us! Our souls are enveloped in His tenderness and in His pain. We are the
fruit of His love and His martyrdom. We increasingly receive His gifts of all kinds. We
receive them tranquilly, at times joyfully. But those gifts are marked with the blood of
Jesus, the blood from His veins and from his Heart. In order that we might taste the least
of His heavenly consolations, Jesus had to taste the gall and vinegar of interior
desolation…
“Each communion we receive cost Jesus the sacrifice of Calvary…Holy Communion is
a banquet from heaven prepared with the blood of Jesus and the bitterness of His Heart.”11

of and Worship of the Holy Eucharist”, April 1980, as in Apostles of the Holy Spirit
Bulletin, Winter 1995.

From Priestly Newsletter January/February 1996
Thoughts on the Eucharist
The Eucharist is our chief source for growth in the
Christ-life. There follow some thoughts on this magnificent Gift of Jesus to us.
- When Jesus speaks of His Blood as the “Blood of the
Covenant” (Mt 26:28), we are reminded that blood sealed or ratified the Mosaic
covenant at Mount Sinai. Moses sprinkled sacrificial blood upon the altar, which
represented God, and upon the Jewish people. Because blood was a distinctive symbol of
life for the Jewish people, such an action had a deep significance for them. This action
of Moses symbolized the sealing or ratification of the covenant—a new life
relationship between Yahweh and the Jewish people.
The sacrificial Blood of Jesus has also formed a covenant—the New Covenant. In the
shedding of His Blood, Jesus has established a new life relationship between His Father
and the human race. Forming a core, focal point of the redeemed human race are the members
of the Christian community, the Church. The Eucharist, in recalling and making
sacramentally present the shedding of Jesus’ covenant Blood, is the Church’s
great covenant act. The Eucharist sustains the life of the covenant, nourishes it, causes
it to grow. Through participation in the Eucharistic liturgy we should be growing in our
covenant life. We should be developing a greater love-union with the Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. We should be growing in a sense of community, in a deep love for the Church, in a
desire to contribute our share to the building up of the body of Christ. We should be
learning to curb our selfishness, this selfishness which deadens a dynamic concern for the
Christian community and the entire human race. Participation in the Eucharist should also
be curbing divisive jealousy, forming us more and more as persons who want deeply to love
all so that it can be more often said of us, “See those Christians, how they love one
another.” The Eucharist can more radically shape us according to these covenant
attitudes if we allow it to do so. We repent over the times we have resisted. We rejoice
regarding the times we have opened ourselves to the Eucharist’s transformative power.
Mother of Our Christ-life
Mary is the Mother
of our Christ-life, this life which flows to us from the bosom of the Father, through
Christ, in the Holy Spirit. Pope John Paul II beautifully links Mary’s spiritual
motherhood toward us with her being Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church, and Model of
the Church. “Mary is present in the Church as the Mother of Christ, and at the same
time as the Mother whom Christ, in the mystery of the Redemption, gave to humanity in the
person of the Apostle John. Thus, in her new motherhood in the Spirit, Mary embraces each
and every one in the Church, and embraces each and every one through the Church. In this
sense, Mary, Mother of the Church, is also the Church’s model. Indeed, as Paul VI
hopes and asks: the Church must draw ‘from the Virgin Mother of God the most
authentic form of perfect imitation of Christ.’”9
