March 20, 1996

R. I wanted to pray my Morning Offering and I said, okay now, if Jesus was here with me now and I held my crucifix – then I realized – Jesus is here with me. Jesus is one with me. We never ever are alone - He is in our graced baptized soul, He is one with us!

    The priest helps me realize that Jesus took on a human nature. The priest represents Jesus to us today. The priest talks, he walks, he hears our confession, he celebrates the Mass. He should be holy – he should thrive to be so much like Christ. What an honor God gives His holy priests! We should love our priest. The priest celebrates the Mass. Jesus feeds us with Himself. I see Fr. Carter give me communion and I love the hands of His holy priest.

    The priest feeds our spiritual needs. We should love them for Jesus gave us the priest to lead us closer to Him.

    I will pray that I will be one with Jesus in my balloon right now. There should be a presence of Christ in His priest. We are one in Christ. Jesus lives in us in our graced baptized soul. The deeper our life in Him the more His presence is felt in a room.

    The priest should emit a presence of Christ living in Him. He is anointed by God and chosen to be another Christ to us in His priestly duties. We should feel something very special when a priest is there. We should feel Christ present in a special way in the room.

    I feel this when a priest is in the room. I feel the presence of Christ alive in holy people in the room. How much more I feel Jesus' presence in a priest. Jesus' presence is too mighty to be contained. Jesus lives in us in this world today. The presence of Christ alive in a person can be felt by others around them. We must be sensitive to how present Jesus is in this world today.

Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive!

R. I feel Him. I feel Him so much in the presence of all those in the Shepherds of Christ Chapter. It is a powerful experience, praying together, and when we, as a group, consecrate our hearts to Jesus and Mary - what power!

    We are limited by our body. We can be really sick, but our mind can still be very alert. Drugs and alcohol effect our minds. Our body limits us. We have been given a great gift in our intellect and will. My body can be as an invalid, but my mind very advanced in the spiritual life.

    We are limited now by our bodies and our fallen human nature. We have a free will.

    Everything that goes into the body is so important to maintenance of the body. We spend our lives working more and more on making our bodies better.

    That which lives forever is the soul! What are we feeding the soul? Every vitamin is analyzed as so important. Everything is analyzed to prolong our physical life. What about life that lasts forever? Many do not care for the life hereafter. Many children do not even know the commandments.

    Every detail to sustain this life, measure every fat cell, every food is broken down to the nth degree – protein, fat, salt, etc. Feed the body right! What about our spiritual life? Do we know the 10 commandments? Who talks about feeding our spiritual life. Feed the hungry! Jesus told me in September 1991– Feed the hungry – Jesus then gave me all these letters of His love and this Movement. The world is hungry.

    Hospitals are centered in the body – they can help the patients more if they included the spiritual too. The body and soul work together.

    Fr. Carter says: in Response in Christ "This profound union of body and soul can be considered from the standpoint of the body being at the service of the soul. Man's incarnational aspect, his body, serves his transcendent aspect, his soul."

    Nursing homes feed the body, give pills - many times the person is dying in their spirit. The sick can be sicker because they need God in their lives, it can be reflected in their physical health. The world is focused on the body. Feed the hungry with the love of God.

    Jesus told me for six weeks - "feed the hungry." The priest is another Christ to us in this world. He is anointed to bring us the sacraments. It is through his hands we are fed the Body and Blood of Jesus. The priest is the key to feed the body of Christ. The devil has waged a war against the priest - to lead him away from holiness. We do not need to know every fat cell in our food.

Jesus: To unite with Me - you are to be one with every one in your heart - loving all men and praying for your enemies. Satan wants you divided.

R. I unite in my deepest anguish with Jesus.

    In this mystical marriage, I unite to Jesus at every second and to everyone else. I felt this oneness with Jesus. Jesus was all in white - present and above me. I feel His merging into me in my every action. I feel so one with Jesus and everyone else.

    I want to be one in Him in the deepest merger. One in this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. To be one with Jesus is to be one with everybody else because Jesus loves everybody else. Jesus is one in us. We are one in Him.

Philippians 2: 6-11

Who, being in the form of God, 
did not count equality with God 
something to be grasped. 

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

And for this God raised him high, 
and gave him the name 
which is above all other names;

so that all beings 
in the heavens, on earth 
    and in the underworld, 
should bend the knee at the name of Jesus 
and that every tongue should acknowledge 
Jesus Christ as Lord, 
to the glory of God the Father.

   

R. See an invalid. They can have a keen mind. See Christ - The Divine God, took on a human nature. Jesus bound in a body. They bound Him to the pillar – He did not resist.

    Consecration - giving ourselves to the Father - is really flying. I give Him my obedience - He does not demand too much. Consecration! Dying to self - Christ died for the sake of sin. We are made holy by His dying for us. Through His death we are made holy.

    No person could create any beauty even similar to God's beauty: the sunset – look at it, do you see it? Do you see its beauty over the ocean? Do you see the snow-covered trees? Gardens adorned in infinite beauty. The forest, adorned in white - next to the junk that man creates, yet we hold on to these material possessions as an end in itself and He shows us His splendor. Oh, God, live in me that I may see more with the eyes of God, all Your great gifts given to me.

Book Introduction

The Good Shepherd is risen. He who laid down His life for His sheep. He Who died for His flock is risen. Alleluia.

Jesus has died and He has risen. The Son of God came to this earth and lived in a human body for love of us. He ascended into heaven and left behind the apostles to carry out His work. He is alive. He lives in this world today. He wants us to carry out His life, death and resurrection in our lives. Jesus is a Person. He wants the deepest union with us. He wants to be one in us, to live in us in this world today.

We encounter Jesus truly present in the Church today. Jesus remains with us in His Divinity and Humanity in the Eucharist, no less present than the day He walked the earth. He remains endless hours – the Son of God – in the tabernacles of this world! He suffered during the agony in the garden for all those who would forget Him and treat Him with such indifference. Jesus outpours His grace, His life to us when we come to the Eucharist, when we receive Him in Communion and sit with Him before the tabernacle. In the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook, Fr. Carter, S.J., gives an account of the spiritual life. It is indeed the most beautiful account of the Spiritual Life:

"We, through our incorporation into Christ which occurs at Baptism, are meant to relive the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. In doing so, we are not only accomplishing our own salvation, but we are assisting in the salvation of others also. The Incarnation continues all the time. Christ, of course, is the one Who fundamentally continues the Incarnation. But He enlists our help. The world no longer sees Jesus, no longer is able to reach out and touch Him. We are the ones who now, in some way, make Christ visible and tangible. In union with the invisible, glorified Christ, and depending on Him as our source of life, we continue the Incarnation in its visible and temporal dimensions. This is our great privilege. This is our great responsibility." Handbook p. 8

We are commissioned in baptism to spread the good news. God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in the graced baptized soul in a special way.

Fr. Carter further states:

"It is not sufficient, however, that we be incorporated into Christ through Baptism. All forms of life require nourishment. So, too, our life in Christ must be continually nourished. How can we continually keep in contact with Christ? There are various ways. We contact Christ in a most special way through the liturgy, above all in the Eucharistic liturgy. Here the entire course of salvation history, as centered in Jesus, is sacramentally renewed and continued. Through our most special and most personal meeting with Jesus in the Mass, we are more deeply incorporated into Christ. Also, we should remember that all the sacraments make up part of the Church's liturgy.

"The reading of Scripture provides another special opportunity for meeting Jesus. ... We also meet Jesus in our interaction with others. ..." Handbook pp. 8-9

 

March 22, 1996

R. I cried because I realized how God loves us so much and gives us such freedom. I had a vision. I saw each unique, beautiful person. See through His eyes their beauty and their uniqueness, each can be connected to Him, happy and conforming – or can be nasty and nonconforming.

We are to see ourselves as brothers in the Father's family.

 

March 23, 1996

R. My voice is one of God's greatest gifts to me and I must treat it as a precious gift and use it only as He desires. Speak only as He asks me to speak. Never, ever, say anything about my brother that is harmful. He will teach me surrender. I saw this week at the consecration that the real freedom comes when I am the little child obeying the Father. I saw Jesus' arms outstretched on the cross and realized He gave everything. This is real freedom and this is the freedom of flying. I asked Him to purify me and to show me His way. His way is that I speak only as it pleases Him, that I reorganize my life and do what He wants.

 

March 23, 1996

R. Time is so valuable. Let me never waste any moments on this earth spent foolishly. All eternity lies ahead.

    Dear angels and saints, pray with me for the souls on earth and in Purgatory. I pray with all my heart for souls.

 

March 24, 1996

R. I saw Mary come alive in the Sorrowful Mother statue. I saw a dark shadow - her shape - took off and went in the wall and stayed there a long time.

Notes: Annunciation tomorrow, March 25th:

Mary is the Mediatrix of all graces.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 

Luke 1:35  The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God.
 

Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima  by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. p. 38

"Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary."

R. The great miracle of the sun at Fatima, think of the sun spinning.
The priest holds the consecrated host in his hands at Mass, and he holds up the consecrated host it in his hands.

Song: A Song from Jesus

Song: I Love You Jesus

Adam and Eve              Christ - New Adam
They sinned.                 Mary - New Eve
 

Romans 5: 17-21

Well then; it was through one man that sin came into the world, and through sin death, and thus death has spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned.

    There is no comparison between the free gift and the offence. If death came to many through the offence of one man, how much greater an effect the grace of God has had, coming to so many and so plentifully as a free gift through the one man Jesus Christ!

It was by one man’s offence that death came to reign over all, but how much greater the reign in life of those who receive the fullness of grace and the gift of saving justice, through the one man, Jesus Christ. One man’s offence brought condemnation on all humanity; and one man’s good act has brought justification and life to all humanity. Just as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man’s obedience are many to be made upright. When law came on the scene, it was to multiply the offences. But however much sin increased, grace was always greater; so that as sin’s reign brought death, so grace was to rule through saving justice that leads to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

R. We see the miracle of the sun at Fatima.

We know the Power in the Eucharist.  
 

    From January 1995

The vision of the church looked like this:

There was a message at this meeting. The message said that THE POWER is in the Eucharist.

 

R. This is the age of the Eucharist. The power is in the Eucharist. The Almighty God will lead us through the polluted waters as we go to the Eucharist. Jesus says: "Feed the hungry souls."

The grace flows from the Father, from His pierced Heart of Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, through the heart of Mary.

R. We see the Miracle of the sun – We know the Miracle of the Eucharist.

Before the statue of Our Lady of Grace at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center

Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

Before receiving the six apparitions of Our Lady, May through October of 1917, the three Fatima visionaries were visited by an angel on three different occasions during the preceding year. He appeared to them in the spring, summer, and fall. Lucia (now Sr. Lucia) describes the springtime apparition of the angel:

"My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You."

Then, rising he said: "Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications."

His words engraved themselves so deeply on our minds that we could never forget them (3)

During the summer of 1916, the angel again appeared to the three visionaries. He said to them:

Pray! Pray a great deal. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have merciful designs on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices continually to the Most High. Make everything you do a sacrifice, and offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which God is offended, and as a petition for the conversion of sinners. Bring peace to our country in this way.... I am the Guardian Angel of Portugal Accept and bear with submission all the sufferings the Lord will send you. (4)

In the fall of the same year, the angel visited the visionaries a final time:

The angel came...bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed that drops of blood were falling from the Host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid-air and prostrated himself on the ground, saying this beautiful prayer: "Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners." (5)

Sr. Lucia relates how the angel gave them Communion:

Then, rising, he took the chalice and the Host in his hand. He gave the Sacred Host to me and shared the Blood from the chalice between Jacinta and Francisco, saying as he did so:

"Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God." (6)

Reflecting upon these messages of the angel, we see how much they contain for our spiritual instruction.

R. I had a vision: The Monstrance was adorned in light. The altar of sacrifice was covered with a thick band of light and behind the Monstrance, the cross was silhouetted with this same light. I beheld the heavenly embrace and

Mary said: Miracles will happen around the Eucharist.

 

Fr. Carter: You are speaking before Our Lady of Grace. Miracles will happen.

R. Our Lady of Grace appeared to me three times: March 9, 10 and 17 (this day she spoke):  Mary: Mercy and Grace is released in the Mass. So much grace is released when the person united to the Mass is united to Our Hearts. The Priest offering sacrifice is to be holy and consecrated to Our Hearts.

R. Hearts need to be filled with the burning love of Jesus. We cannot give to our Savior lip service love. We pray for grace for souls. We need an outpouring of grace. We want holy priests. The power is in the Eucharist. The gifts are released when hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Jesus wants the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.

    There is so much grace given when someone lives the consecration of their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and prays for the priests, the Church and the world.

R. Vision in notebook – We unite in the Mass loving God, loving each other. We die to our selfish ways to live the life of resurrection – to be transformed more and more in His image and likeness. I see Christ in others.

Jesus: I want holy priests.

 

October 16, 1995

A HOLY PRIEST AT MASS

Written on the Feast Day of St. Margaret Mary, after Communion:

R. All through the Mass, I realized the need to beg God for His mercy for my sins and the sins of all. How God is offended by our sins! I realized, after Communion, I am a little creature and He is God, and He gives Himself to me. In this moment, I want to relish each and every precious second that I am united to Him. My heart burns for love of Him.

I hear the song, "...I scarce can breathe when You come into me." and sing, "Oh Burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how dear You are to me. I see the Host, I know You're here to love and care for me."

Jesus and Mary want the priests to be holy. I feel the holiness of the priest, and it increases my union with Jesus for his reverence and holiness and oneness with Jesus is transmitted to me as he celebrates the Mass.

It is a power I feel in the offering of the sacrifice of Jesus to the Father. I feel His presence at the Mass, especially when a holy priest is officiating.

end of excerpt

R. I am playing my life and He is living in me. The more I am one with Him, the more I know about Him, the more the Spirit lives and moves in me, the better my performance and the greater the impact on the audience. An actor that doesn't know the character he plays – that remains mostly himself and recites the words to the play, has little impact on his audience.

We are the teacher of the God who lives within. We put on Christ and He lives in us in this world. My part is received according to how one I am in Him. So, as I am in my heart, I will be in the world.

The Mass is such a gift. Jesus wants holy priests. Jesus wants priests consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

 

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

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

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

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

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

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

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

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995

 

March 25, 1996 - Annunciation Day

R. I had a message for Fr. Carter: You will receive opposition all week – your plan to speak Friday is crucial and satan doesn't want you to talk.

See diagram:
Shepherds of Christ Movement is beginning of this: Christmas tree - no lights and then some.

              

R. The Miracle for the earth is the Eucharist.

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

Miracle of the sun – the sun came near-crashing to the earth at Fatima and still men would not listen.

They didn't pay attention to Jesus.

Mary appeared to me every day for 14 months at the Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.

Annunciation
 

Luke 1: 26-38

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

R. Mary is full of grace.
 

Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima  by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. p. 38

Mary said at Fatima:

    Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. ⁽¹⁹⁾

19. Our Lady's Peace Plan, op cit., pp.9-10.
 

R. Significant that Our Lady of Grace appeared to me on March 17, 1996, on March 17th somebody in Delphos gave me a holy card of Lucia's vision. (I know in my being the vision of Lucia's about the Mass.) At Delphos Jesus appeared in the Sacred Heart statue and gave me a message, about the world. He told me about praying the Divine Mercy. (Father Carter opened with the Divine Mercy on Divine Mercy Sunday.)

R. There were three main visions I received on March 26, 1996, April 6, 1996, Holy Saturday and April 9, 1996.
 

March 26, 1996

Very carefully discerned by Fr. Carter

R. I came to All Saints Church before a beautiful Monstrance of gold that contained Our beloved Savior. He was adorned in light, the altar beneath shone with the brightest light and the cross behind was entirely silhouetted with the same celestial light. I was overwhelmed with the presence of God and cried deeply from the awe of it all.

    To be so aware of the Almighty God truly present in His splendor and glory—to know the presence of God, to see the glistening of the gold and the light and reflection of the cross behind Him—my beauteous love—words do not exist to describe the rapture of a heavenly embrace! I cry because of the immense awe within my being to know Him. God truly present in His majesty and glory and oh, God, I behold the presence of a heavenly court. You opened wide the heavens and lifted up the veil and I knew You in Your splendor and glory. I behold God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." He is the Almighty God. He shows us the celestial lights with which He will light this earth. Many must surrender their hearts to His Heart and Mary's heart. It is in surrendering, the Spirit will move in the hearts of men and the light of God will shine on the darkened earth. Not with a light that you comprehend, but a light that is divinely granted—a light beyond all lights, a vision beyond all visions. It takes the surrender of minds and hearts to God. The Spirit cannot move in us when we are in control. Surrender and give Him our heart and He will make us fishers of men.

    We are His apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. He is sending us out into the world to light the hearts with His burning love. We are chosen by Him and He is giving us abundant graces to grow in our union with Him. He will light this world with His burning love. Our hearts must be open. We must surrender and let go and reach beyond the senses, reach with our hearts. Pray for faith, pray for the vision of God.

Note:  I cried all through this writing, having the presence of God and being in great ecstasy to behold Him. May God touch your heart and may His Spirit move within you. May you be filled with the grace of God to surrender and let Him accomplish a great work within you.

    And I was filled on high with His miraculous light and He reached down and spoke within me. I was filled as never before and knew the presence of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Note:  As I finished, the bells at All Saints Church rang at 9:00 A.M. As I began to experience the immense splendor, the bells of 8:00 rang. Words do not express anything that I saw or experienced or know from this ecstasy. This was the greatest and the first of three visions, which defined clearly to me our role in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Jesus defines clearly the role of Fr. Carter in this great mission given to him by the Father.

For Fr. Carter from Jesus:

Jesus:  To him who has eyes to see, they will see - not with earthly vision, but with the eyes of faith, and to him who has ears to hear, he will hear with the fluttering of the Spirit moving within him.

    I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I am the Almighty God. I say to the rocks to fall and they fall and to the grass, grow, and it grows, and to the sun, shine, and it shines. I give to you My love in these letters. Filled with My love, you will conquer this earth, not with weapons and powder or force, but with fires of My love. The fire will wipe out the hatred in the cold hearts and the earth will be covered with My celestial light. The earth will rock and I will appear in the heavens adorned in power and glory and the contrite hearts will be saved. I came to separate the sheep from the goats, the light from the darkness. I come and no one pays Me heed.

    To you, My beloved son, Father Carter, I have sent you on a mission to spread this fire that will cover this earth. The hearts of men will turn from their sick and desolate ways to hearts gentle as a little lamb.

    There will be one flock and one Shepherd and My staff will rule over all. Hearts consecrated to Our Hearts will lead the light across the earth. This light will be a light of intense brightness, brighter and hotter than any light from a flame. It will be the fire of God's love. The Spirit will move in the hearts of all consecrated to My Heart, and you will know how fire truly spreads, for the love of God is a fire. It is vibrant. It is encompassing. It is smoldering, burning deep within and speedily spreading on the outside. No fire on this earth can ever describe the burning embers that burn from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. No fire burns like the fires coming from My Heart and hearts filled with the love from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

    I have written your name, Fr. Carter, in My Heart, never ever to be blotted out and this earth will be renewed with the fire of God's love through you. You are My beloved priest-son, forever, according to the order of Melchizedek. Most holy and most sacred are your hands that consecrate the Host and write My precious newsletter for My beloved priest-sons. You are never unguarded. You are held within the deepest chamber of My Heart, and you will spread My love to the priest-sons of this earth.

    I am Jesus. You will spread My love to all souls on this earth. I love you with the tenderest burning love. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.

Glorious Mysteries

Before the Tabernacle

The Resurrection

R. See before you the body of Jesus as He hangs from the cross. His arms outstretched, His feet nailed, His body covered with blood, His head covered with thorns. God came to this earth and He gave Himself for us that we would be saved. It is His wish that every soul would be with Him forever and ever in heaven for all eternity. The Father so loved this world that He sent His only begotten Son into this world. Let us pray in this rosary that we may be joined ever closer to our beloved God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and that we will be filled with the fire of God's love.

1. R. The price He paid for our sins was His precious blood and on the third day He rose from the dead that we would have life. These are the Glorious mysteries. Let us meditate on the fact that God truly died. Let us see Him there as He hung on the cross and let us see as Jesus came forth victorious from the tomb on the third day. Many laughed at Jesus and mocked Him. They spit on Jesus and made Jesus carry the cross, Jesus the Almighty God. God has all the Power – Jesus could have stopped the men in the Passion. God gives us our every breath. It is because of God that our hearts beat. If we go to the highest mountain-top we cannot get away from God.

2. R. Father, work in us that we may see the helpless, little children that we are, that we are truly dependent upon You. But, help us in this dependency to realize your immense love for us, that You give to us the sunlit day and the dark at night with the moon to light our way. Help us know Your love. Help us look at Jesus as He hung on the cross and know that You gave Your Son to pay for our sins and that You gave us the Resurrection on the third day. Through Baptism we receive a sharing in Your life. God is the source of all life. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Father we thank You for the great gifts that You are giving to us this day.

3. R. See Jesus as He hung on the cross and they stood around and laughed at Him and they pierced His precious Heart with a lance. What came forth was blood and water – water, a symbol of the Sacrament of Baptism, whereby we are made children of God and we share in His life, and blood, a symbol of the Eucharist, whereby we are fed by Jesus in the Eucharist.

4. R. He went about the earth and He appeared to His beloved Apostles and they did not recognize Him.

John 20: 25 So the other disciples said to him, ‘We have seen the Lord,’ but he answered, ‘Unless I can see the holes that the nails made in his hands and can put my finger into the holes they made, and unless I can put my hand into his side, I refuse to believe.’

R. Thomas put his hands into the glorified wounds of Jesus, His hands and feet. Thomas, then, knew it was truly the Lord. How is it with us this day that Jesus comes to us and asks for our faith. Jesus is with us. How can we see the sun and the moon and the vastness of this universe and not believe that God governs the earth? God is alive and Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist in this room. Jesus remains in the tabernacle, truly present. Let our hearts skip a beat as we realize that He remains with us in greatest love.

5. R. Jesus gave to the priests the power to change bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. Jesus remains truly present in the Holy Eucharist. If we could really see. If God lifted the veil, envision rays from the tabernacle. Think of the light of the sun in the sky. The Almighty God asks that we believe, that we have faith, that we come to Him with hearts filled with love. Think of how it would be if we saw the rays coming from the tabernacle. God is truly present in this room in the Eucharist. Jesus is calling us for our love.

6. R. What is life? What makes life? Can man, in all his knowledge, create life?

7. R. In Baptism we receive a sharing in His life and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell, in a special way in the graced baptized soul. Our knowing and loving capacity is elevated through the Sacrament of Baptism.

8. R. Jesus died and He rose on the third day that we would have life and have it to the full. How do we treasure that gift in sharing in God's life in baptism? God gives us life and God can take it away. We can be stubborn the way we hold on to so many things! We may not realize that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. Jesus is the Almighty God. God controls the sun that comes up every day and the sun that sets. God gives us our breath.

9. R. All through the Old Testament we see their willfulness and how God punished the people. Mary and Jesus are speaking to us. Mary is speaking less and less. Mary has given so many messages that men need to turn their hearts to God. Mary has given me far fewer messages this year because she says no one is listening. Let us look at the world. Let us tell God how sorry we are for our sins and the sin of our brothers.

10. Hail Mary

 

The Ascension

R. And He calls out to us: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive! I heard Him say this with the most intensity. How does Jesus tell us He is alive? How do we listen? For we are deaf and we are blind. The Almighty God is speaking to us this day and He has called us here as His special apostles to go out to the world and deliver the messages that He is alive and that He loves us with the deepest burning love. Let us open our hearts and let Him come into our heart and let Him work in our heart now. Let us release any of the debris in our heart, anger toward any person, resentment, unforgiveness. Let us clean our hearts and let Jesus come into our heart and fill our hearts with His burning love.

1. R. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist, here in this room.

2. Jesus: My dear, beloved ones. Let your heart be filled with My burning love. Open your heart wide and rid yourself of all impurities. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. Let Me come into your heart. I want to be the King and center of your heart. I want to live in you and minister to this world that is hurting and in pain through your holy heart.

3. Jesus: The seeds of time move exceedingly slow. Men are blind and deaf. They do not hear. They close their hearts. Their hearts have turned to hearts that are cold. I am your Savior. I come to you and ask you to empty your heart of all the debris, that I may fill you with My love, that you will share in this world as the brightest light filled with the fire of God's love.

4. Jesus: Gentle and kind are My ways. I want to live in you and work through you.

5. Jesus: You are all children of the Father. Unite in My love. Be one in Me. I am Jesus, your Savior.

6. Jesus: Only a heart of love can unite with My Heart. Pray to the Holy Spirit to fill you with the fire of God's love, to purify your heart, to make you holy and you will shine as the brightest lights to this darkened world.

7. R. What is the celestial light of the Almighty God that I see? It is a light that I saw today, that surrounded the Eucharist as it was exposed. The light adorned the altar and silhouetted the cross behind the Monstrance and I felt the power of the Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The light I saw was a bright light, inexpressible in human terms, for the light is not a light that I can describe but it is a celestial light. To say that it is as a light of a fire does not give it justice for it is brighter than the light of any fire. To see Jesus as He comes alive in the statue at Immaculata, the light that I saw before me was this same light. This light of such intensity, but this is how it is with God. We cannot comprehend even minutely the magnificence of the Almighty God for He is Divine. Let us pray for wisdom, to know insight into the hidden mysteries, to know more the things of God as He gives us a vision of Himself. We do not want to walk this earth as in a box, missing this gift. We want to reach to the sky, high to the sun and we want to know more and more the vision of God. We want to put on the mind of God. We want to see our brothers as He sees our brothers. We want to see our brothers hearts. Jesus sees our brothers and loves them. Jesus sees beyond the exterior of the person. We must pray to see their hearts and to love them as He loves them. Let us put aside any resentment or separation that we have toward our brothers and ask God to help us to love them. As we live in this world ask God to help us to be more and more like Him and love our brothers in this world through us.

8. R. For God created the light and the darkness. God created the stars in the sky and the vegetation. God created the animals and God created man. God created man in His image and likeness. God wants us to be like Him. Jesus has a Heart of love. Jesus loved all men to His death.

9. R. When they persecuted Jesus and whipped Jesus, when they crowned Jesus with thorns and hung Jesus on a cross, Jesus loved. Jesus calls us to be the lights to this darkened world. We will be these lights, lights far beyond human expression if we fill our hearts with His burning love.

10. Hail Mary

 

The Descent of the Holy Spirit Upon the Apostles

R. The apostles were filled with fear, they locked themselves in the upper room. Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit. They were always trying to get the first place. Peter denied Jesus 3 times! Jesus loved Peter and Jesus loved to be with Peter. The apostles were not perfect but He still made Peter the vicar of the Church. Jesus promised them that He would send the Holy Spirit and they would be transformed from fear to fearlessness. They were all gathered in the upper room with the Blessed Virgin Mary and there was a gigantic like wind and there appeared over their heads parted tongues of fire and the Holy Spirit descended upon them and they were filled in their hearts with the fire of God's love.

1. R. We too are weak and centered upon ourselves and God calls us to be saints, to go out and to spread His love. But it is so hard. We cannot do this on our own. We must pray to the Holy Spirit to descend upon us and to fill us with all the grace that we need to do what God is asking us to do: To love in a world that has turned cold, to smile and to give His love to all those that we touch.

2. R. Love is the answer. Love is powerful. Jesus loved us with such love that He gave Himself as a sacrifice on the cross and Jesus gives Himself to us this day in the Holy Eucharist. I hear Him call out, "I give you Myself, I give you Myself in the Holy Eucharist, and they run from My altar." He gives us Himself but we still worry. We are still attached to the things of this earth. We do not comprehend with the mind of God. It is only with His grace alive inside of us that we will see the vision of God. We are bolted to the earth but our hearts are not satisfied. Our hearts wonder and want so much more for we are created with hearts that can only be filled with the love of God. Let us pray to the Holy Spirit to fill us with the fire of God's love that we too will find satisfaction in loving God. We will never be completely satisfied here on this earth. In heaven, if we go there, we will be full of grace. We will have peace and joy in our hearts as never before when our hearts are rooted in Him.

3. Jesus: Are your hearts at peace? What is your God? My beloved ones, what are you holding on to, that is keeping you from this close union with Me? Minute by minute, second by second, I am attentive to your every need and I am here. I am Jesus, the Almighty God and I love you with the deepest love. Know that, as you breathe, I am with you in your every breath. I am with you in your every heartbeat. I am with you as the sun shines and as the sun sets. So, too, you know I am present in this world this day. You know by the change in the seasons that a Mighty Being is running this world. Reach for the stars, reach for the light, the celestial light – the power and the might. Lift your hearts to the Almighty God and pray for grace that you will share in My life. I came to give you life, that you will have it to the full. Life is not life if it is not rooted in Me. What are you holding on to that is keeping you from peace in your heart? What is your God, for I am truly present, and to know that I am in your heart, will give you peace, for I am truly there.

4. Hail Mary

5. R. His love is brighter than any fire. His love is smoldering and is spreading as a fire through our hearts. But we must be this link in this world. We must be the one whose heart is filled with light.

6. Hail Mary

7. Jesus: Do not curse the darkness, but light a candle in this darkened world as your hearts are consecrated to My Heart and the heart of My Mother. You will be the lights that shine in the darkness.

8. Hail Mary

9. R. No fire is as intense as the fire that comes from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Jesus comes and He shows us His Heart surrounded with the crown of thorns for the indifference and the ingratitude against Him. He came, the Almighty God, and He gave His life that we would have life and He asks us to give love in this world today. He asks for two things: Love of God and love of one another. The Father looks at the earth and He sees that the earth is covered with such darkness. It is our hearts, filled with His love, that will light this earth.

10. Hail Mary

 

The Assumption

R. These are the Glorious Mysteries. We see Jesus battered, bruised, crowned with thorns and hung on a cross and we see on the third day that He rose triumphant, that He ascended into heaven. If we saw Jesus go into the sky, we would know the glory of this event. If we saw the tongues of fire over the heads of the apostles and the Blessed Virgin, we would know more the glories of this event. If we saw the Blessed Mother taken, body and soul, into heaven, we would know the glory of this event. Let us meditate on the Assumption. That Jesus took the body of His Mother into heaven. Jesus ascended into heaven,  Mary was assumed into heaven – Jesus and Mary's bodies are in heaven. Someday we hope to be in heaven forever. What do we hold on to that is so important for a few years here - for eternity is forever!

1. Jesus: I call you, My dear ones, to holiness. I am calling you in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to help in the renewal of the Church and the world through your prayers and your love. Open wide your heart and let Me live in you.

2. Jesus: Let My Mother work in your life. Go to the heart of My Mother, the pure and tender heart and let her protect you and hold you. The Holy Spirit can make you more and more holy.

3. R. The Holy Spirit moved within their being and they felt a powerful force far beyond any expression. The Holy Spirit sanctified their hearts and He filled them with the fire of God's love. This light was carried out to this world for God is a force, far beyond our human comprehension. Let us pray for vision that we may see more and more through the eyes of God and put on the mind of Christ. That we may be as God wants us to be in this world.

4. Jesus: I am the way, the truth and the life. My way is the only way. What do you hold onto this day that is your god for you shall have no gods before Me. I call you to peace and love. All that you hold onto is so insignificant when seen in the light of what is really important.

5. Jesus: Pray to be filled more and more with My life. This will give you peace in your heart.

6. R. Mary was taken into heaven but she is by our side, walking with us today. Mary is our Mother, she protects us and loves us as she walked by the side of Jesus, all through the Passion. Mary is here with us with the most personal love, loving us more than any earthly Mother can love us.

7. R. Let us see Mary as she tenderly holds the Child Jesus in her arms, and let us see Mary and go to her arms and let her hold us and protect us against the terrors of the night.

8. R. We see what we see with our eyes and we want to search beyond. For the unseen world surrounds us and we seek to know God - to know the unseen and the seen world. We seek what is true - we seek reality. If we could see we would see angels surrounding the tabernacle, worshipping God. We would see we are but a speck in this vast universe. The Almighty God loves each one of us so uniquely. We know more and more about heaven and earth - we are united to heaven in our hearts.

9. Hail Mary

10. Hail Mary

 

The Crowning of the Blessed Mother, Queen of Heaven

R. Mary was crowned Queen of heaven and earth. Mary was a human person. Jesus loved Mary with such love that He wanted her heart venerated next to His Heart. If we can understand that the Almighty God loved Mary, a human person, with this love, we will understand more how God loves us. We are human creatures. Jesus is a Divine Person, with two natures, a Divine nature and a human nature. It is in surrendering, in giving ourselves to God that we will unite in the deepest love with the Almighty God. God is Supreme. God loves us. What are we that God loves us?

1. R. Mary was Queen of Heaven and Earth. To go to heaven is what Jesus wants of us. Jesus wants us with Him forever in Heaven.

2. Song: Eye Has Not Seen

3. Jesus: You will come to Me, My beloved ones. You will come to Me on that day and I will say, "My dear ones, what you did to your brothers, you did to Me" and I will say, "To those who loved and served Me and were faithful I will say, Come to Me into My chambers and I will give you My deepest love."

4. Jesus: And you will know the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit with such awe and you will be possessed by the Almighty God. You were created for heaven. You will only be completely satisfied in heaven, nothing on the face of this earth satisfies the starved soul but the love of God. On that day if you are taken to heaven, you will know God as never before.

5. Jesus: This life is so short, the dropping of a pin, the batting of an eye and it is over. Heaven is a reward to those who loved and served the Lord. On that day the just will be greeted by the angels and saints, you will see the face of God and know that all the love you gave prepared you for this reward.

6. Jesus: I call you to be saints, I call you to holiness. I call you to love, to love of God and love of each other. Nothing on the face of the earth will feed your soul but the love of God.

7.  Hail Mary

8. Jesus: You will have peace in your hearts when you come to Me. Let go of all those things that you hold onto that are not of God, those things that are false gods. Let go of those things and give to Me your whole self and I will give to you what you need. You are My instruments of love that I am sending into this world to light the darkened nights. Come to Me and I will fill you with My burning love.

9. Jesus: You do not understand why the stars shine in the sky. You do not comprehend the things of God. Reach for the stars and pray for vision. My beloved ones, pray to see the mind of God. I am truly present and with you at this moment in the Holy Eucharist. I am the bread of life. Life is not life if it is not rooted in Me. What can I say to you? I tell you so many times how I love you and you do not hear the words that I speak to you. You go to the world and you want your love. Listen to these words that I am speaking to you. I love you, My beloved ones. I am the Almighty God. I hung on the cross for three agonizing hours and I gave Myself to you. I give Myself to you in the Eucharist. I am truly present. Do you see the sun in the sky and the moon at night? Do you comprehend what I am speaking to you, or are you blind and deaf? For you know that you do not control your breath and your heartbeat, but inside your hearts are wanting and begging for more. Do you call yourselves Christians? Christ-like?

    You must put all your trust and faith in Me and know that I am really here and giving you My love. Listen to every word that I speak to you. Read every letter as a letter of My love to you that you will be the light that shines in the dark night, for your heart will be filled with My love when you listen to the words that I am speaking to you. I am truly here. Hear Me, open your heart and I will fill you with love that you cannot even imagine!

R. What I saw I cannot ever explain in words; the sun – similar to the light I saw today that surrounded the Monstrance and the whole front of the altar, the light of the room and the light of the stars. What I saw I cannot ever explain in words. We cannot comprehend the mind of God. It is a mystery. God gives to us His grace and a sharing in His life in baptism. We understand more fully, some things about God. We see more the vision of God. God is outpouring to us abundant grace when we go to Him so we can see more clearly. We have been called and we have been chosen.

    Let us thank Him and beg Him for His grace, for He truly is the Almighty God. God is asking us to help Him in this world that is suffering.

Jesus: Will you give yourself to Me, My beloved ones? I am asking you. Will you carry out this mission I have given you? Will you say "yes"? In order to do the work that I ask you to do, your hearts must be filled with My love. You must spend time, every day, alone with Me that I can teach you My ways. This is the most important thing that you do each day; it is time alone with Me, to put the fragmented pieces of your life together and I will teach you My ways in your heart. I am all Powerful and Almighty and I cry out to you to come and be taught by Me.

From Jesus, For Fr. Renfert

My dear priest-companion,

    I am writing you to thank you for your most faithful love. You are chosen by Me for this special mission. In your deepest sufferings I have come to you and wiped your sweating brow. I have breathed on you in your pain and suffering and given you such strength. It is in your most faithful love for Me that I too was comforted during My bitter passion. When I fell to the ground and the pains deep in My Heart were so unbearable, I knew the love of My holy priest - you. When I carried My cross on My back and My Heart ached deeply within Me from the pain and rejection and indifference of so many souls, I knew your faithful love. I knew your sufferings and your sacrifices offered to Me. I saw your eyes, too, as I looked into the eyes of My beloved Mother. I saw your eyes of love looking at Me and I knew the love deep in your heart. This was, My beloved, My comfort many times all through My passion. As I suffered so much anguish for My beloved priests who have forgotten Me, I was comforted by you and your acts of endless love.

    I am with you, My sweet and gentle priest. I live in you in a special way. I have called you to the highest holiness. I have called you to the deepest chamber of My Heart. It is there you will know your loving Father in the most surrounding love. You will have the presence of the Almighty God in a way as never before.

    Go, My sweet and beautiful priest, to the Heart of your beloved Mary and feel the action of the Holy Spirit permeating your very soul. In her tender and gentle touch, she will place you in My Heart. You will go deeply into My Heart to the deepest, brightest chamber and in that moment you will feel the Father's love. You will know as never before the presence of the Almighty God and what it is to feel satisfied by Him.

    I love you, I love you, I love you. I am alive in you. Oh, My holy, holy priest, give your heart to My Mother and to Me. You were such comfort in My bitter passion. I love you with the deepest burning love. I cry out to you, sweet son of the Father, you are a priest forever, according to the Order of Melchizedek, this is the highest order I give to man. I love you, My beloved.

    I am Jesus, come to comfort you, as you did Me.

A Message from Jesus

Jesus: The work that is accomplished here is My work. I am in charge of sending you your work. You are working for Me. I have given you the special talents to accomplish this task. It is in love that My work will be accomplished. You are spreading My love to this world. It is through your example. I am truly present in the Eucharist. You are commissioned to spend time alone with Me. This is not a job to be accomplished, it is a labor of love. I am the head of this operation. It is only in love that this work will be accomplished. Many felt they were doing My will and were in fact doing their own will. Knowing My will, will come from fervent prayer and contemplation. Satan will try everything to stop the progress of My work. Satan will talk in your heads and get you to think ill thoughts. I have chosen each one of you to be My Apostle to carry My love to this world.

    The work begun at Fatima will reach completion soon. This work is directly correlated with the promises of Fatima. The rosary, as given to the children and consecrations, must reach the children. It is not a job to accomplish it, it is a labor of love, directed by My hands, the hands of the Almighty God. This is the Plan of the Father unfolding through you. Any criticism, pride, control opposing My Father's will is from satan. You must proceed only for the love of God, and for the honor and glory of God, not vain glory, not for any selfish promotion.

    You do not comprehend the mind of God. You must surrender your wills and know it is for the Almighty God that you work. You are not to control and manipulate one another, you are to act in gentle ways with the love of God firmly fixed in your hearts. You must pray for guidance for all jobs. This is the plan of the Father. Not obeying authority is not from God. I am directing My Movement through the authority and with structure. Discrediting My authority tears down the Movement, be humble and obedient. I am love. Be loving. You are the teachers of the God who lives in your heart. My ways are not controlling and abase. I am a fountain of endless love and mercy. Look into My eyes and see My love given for all. My way is not power or force. My way is to do the will of the Father in love. Mary obeyed the will of the Father. Your work is always a labor of love. Forgive and love. I am Jesus. Surrender yourselves and let Me possess your soul.

    You do not accomplish this work on your own, but only in union with Me. The words from your lips must be of love and encouragement. To make yourselves right and to fight the authority with arguments is not to My liking. Obedience and love, respect and zeal. I have called you to be My apostles. Satan wants you to try to control and be at odds with one another. This is a main communication for this world.

    The Shepherds of Christ Movement has a primary role to play in the renewal of the Church and the world. How is your talk and your actions? Are you acting as I would be in the world? I want to be one in you and you do what My Father called you to do in your vocation. You have a unique contribution to make. I am the Almighty God, I ask you to love God first and to love others as yourself. Your work must be accomplished in love – in love for God, for each other and for the whole world. Your work is a labor of love.

    The apostles proceeded ahead, filled with God's love and they converted thousands. They were filled with the Holy Spirit. There was not bumping heads, they complied to the will of the Father and labored in love of God. Guard your tongue – it is the doorway to your heart. I love you, I love you. I love you. I am Jesus, the Almighty God. I give you this gift for the world. You have been called, you have been chosen. You will light up the world with the love of God radiating from a pure and holy heart. Your main job is always union with Jesus.

    I am Jesus. I have spoken. I am guarding you - surrender to Me.
