                  Readings from Today's Mass

Exodus 32: 7-14

Yahweh then said to Moses, ‘Go down at once, for your people whom you brought here from Egypt have become corrupt. They have quickly left the way which I ordered them to follow. They have cast themselves a metal calf, worshipped it and offered sacrifice to it, shouting, "Israel, here is your God who brought you here from Egypt!" ’ Yahweh then said to Moses, ‘I know these people; I know how obstinate they are! So leave me now, so that my anger can blaze at them and I can put an end to them! I shall make a great nation out of you instead.’

Moses tried to pacify Yahweh his God. ‘Yahweh,’ he said, ‘why should your anger blaze at your people, whom you have brought out of Egypt by your great power and mighty hand? Why should the Egyptians say, "He brought them out with evil intention, to slaughter them in the mountains and wipe them off the face of the earth?" Give up your burning wrath; relent over this disaster intended for your people. Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to whom you swore by your very self and made this promise: "I shall make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven, and this whole country of which I have spoken, I shall give to your descendants, and it will be their heritage for ever." ’ Yahweh then relented over the disaster which he had intended to inflict on his people.

Psalm 106: 19-23

At Horeb they made a calf,
bowed low before cast metal;
they exchanged their glory
for the image of a grass-eating bull.
 

They forgot the God who was saving them,
who had done great deeds in Egypt,
such wonders in the land of Ham,
such awesome deeds at the Sea of Reeds.

He thought of putting an end to them,
had not Moses, his chosen one,
taken a stand in the breach and confronted him,
to turn his anger away from destroying them.

John 5: 31-47

Were I to testify on my own behalf,
my testimony would not be true;
but there is another witness
   who speaks on my behalf,
and I know that his testimony is true.
You sent messengers to John,
and he gave his testimony to the truth—
not that I depend on human testimony;
no, it is for your salvation
   that I mention it.
John was a lamp lit and shining
and for a time you were content
   to enjoy the light that he gave.
But my testimony is greater than John’s:
the deeds my Father has given me
   to perform,
these same deeds of mine
testify that the Father has sent me.
Besides, the Father who sent me
bears witness to me himself.
You have never heard his voice,
you have never seen his shape,
and his word finds no home in you
because you do not believe
in the one whom he has sent.

You pore over the scriptures,
believing that in them
   you can find eternal life;
it is these scriptures that testify to me,
and yet you refuse to come to me
   to receive life!
Human glory means nothing to me.
Besides, I know you too well:
you have no love of God in you.
I have come in the name of my Father
and you refuse to accept me;
if someone else should come
    in his own name
you would accept him.
How can you believe,
since you look to each other for glory
and are not concerned
with the glory that comes
   from the one God?
Do not imagine
   that I am going to accuse you
       before the Father:
you have placed your hopes on Moses,
and Moses will be the one
   who accuses you.
If you really believed him
you would believe me too,
since it was about me that he was writing;
but if you will not believe what he wrote,
how can you believe what I say?

Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima

March 30, 2006 message continues

March 30, 2006

Jesus speaks:        I unveil the workings of satan
                            in your lives. A person has a responsibility
                            to do something. They do not even
                            report for their job, then they come
                            in and act like nothing happened
                            3 weeks later causing havoc and
                            trying to regain power.

                                In alcoholic homes and dysfunctional
                            homes the unavailability of
                            either parent because of a
                            dysfunctional disease leads
                            to unpredictability and lack
                            of the growth that is
                            necessary for maturation of the
                            individual children. A person
                            should communicate and be
                            open in a home, a business,
                            a Church etc, about their
                            whereabouts when the responsibility
                            of making decisions lies on
                            them. They have a sense of
                            the importance of their role
                            and they love the children, family
                            etc. — enough to communicate
                            their commitment and to extend the
                            security of relationship, commitment,
                            predictability.

                                A person responsible for attending
                            decisive meetings does not linger
                            making everyone wait or throws
                            decisive decisions on the arms of
                            others at midnight etc. when the
                            day is done, the body weary and the
                            person needing sleep.

                                To disturb a person when their
                            vital needs are needed, sleep,
                            food, etc. is to ask for problems.

                                A cell phone can be charged,
                            used, but when it is out of "juice"
                            it will not run anymore.

                                A person from a dysfunctional home —
                            one who has been forced to go to bed
                            too early may rebel and stay up
                            all night when they leave home.

                                Another from a divorced family
                            may force others to do work when
                            they are most jealous of the
                            time of their x-spouse and children.

                                How do people put up with
                            unpredictability as such? A person
                            establishing this kind of abuse
                            may lure the other into their
                            situation only to extend and extend
                            the time of the meeting as the night
                            goes on.

                                Finally at a late hour - the
                            once used cell phone is forced
                            to try to do pertinent jobs, but
                            unable to operate efficiently.

                                People who manipulate others
                            in such fashions are addicted
                            to control and this illness can
                            progress to heights of being
                            unable to communicate directly
                            about anything without a battery
                            of trials, waiting, while the other
                            acts like nothing is wrong that they
                            did, but they continually engage in
                            efforts to make the other endure
                            longer periods and trials to
                            engage in a simple meeting.

                                A person crippled by not
                            direct communication with others
                            can engage in so many passive-
                            aggressive behaviors, provoking,
                            extending until finally the other
                            cannot get a straight answer about
                            anything.

                                A person loving others respects
                            their commitment and gives whole-
                            heartily making connections at the
                            proper time, giving time that is
                            time when they are available and
                            both can operate to efficiency.

                                A person can give into satan and
                            can manipulate others for the
                            pure "joy" of manipulation for they
                            are controlling and get some
                            "sadistical" pleasure being over
                            and in charge.

                                The workings of satan can be
                            majorly masked. In an abusive
                            alcoholic home a spouse may
                            go through a honeymoon cycle
                            where they are promised love and treated
                            as on a honeymoon for 24 hours
                            while after that 24 hour period
                            the abuse cycle begins provoking
                            more and more in cruel ways
                            until finally a climax is reached
                            acted out and it is so awful
                            the marriage or relationship feels as if it has
                            to end, only to begin again with
                            the honeymoon cycle to get it
                            started like nothing ever happened
                            nor will it happen again — promises
                            are made, flowers are given and
                            it is only bait for the abuse cycle
                            to begin again - provoking and
                            provoking until another climax
                            is reached.

Messenger:            I remember Fr. Carter — he was
                            so predictable — He wanted the Movement
                            to continue — He gave his all, He
                            supported the messages —
                            He discerned and faxed the daily message
                            until almost his last day. The priest said he was
                            faxing up there in his room while he was
                            dying.

                            He wanted every message discerned,
                            He believed, He entrusted the
                            Movement to me to carry on.

                                The Movement was Jesus' Movement,
                            I was Jesus' messenger — He said any
                            leader that did not live by the
                            messages could not remain a leader —
                            anyone who did not go on the 13th
                            was not doing what Jesus wanted —
                            he was strong — he was a man —
                            he was a priest — he was like
                            Jesus — he supported me.
                            Jesus and Fr. Carter left me in
                            charge.

                                This Movement is Jesus' Movement.
                            We are doing what Jesus wants
                            when we make a commitment as
                            a servant and handmaid and live
                            under obedience to our jobs
                            in this organization serving
                            God in praying, selling in
                            the store, doing the books —
                            but we are stewards for Jesus —

                                In an organization, like a
                            marriage - people come with
                            unfinished business, hurts,
                            unmet needs — a life time full
                            of relationships — socialization
                            skills —

                                they enter a marriage — come
                            to an order — they must let go of
                            imperfections, be docile, trying
                            to live to be more perfected as
                            their heavenly Father —

                                They don't come and expect
                            their superior to fix up their
                            wounds from their divorce — in
                            religious life sisters and brothers
                            are not to find romantic love with each
                            other, but love with God first
                            as their spouse —

                                All grows to live by structure
                            and loving the institution whether
                            a family or an order, they
                            love that little or big institution
                            and are loyal to it —

                                They do not make people outside
                            their friends and knock their marriage,
                            family or knock the institution
                            if they are religious.

                                They respect those in the marriage
                            and are loyal, they respect the
                            institution and love it, protect it,
                            help build it.

                                Christ loved His Church, His
                            bride — even though it is a
                            pilgrim Church, we do not tear
                            down what has imperfections —
                            we work to build it up —
                            we pray — we love the place
                            God has called us to and commit
                            ourselves and live to make it
                            better.

                                When gifts are given, prices
                            are paid — Christ showed
                            us this.

                                Satan's activities are masked —
                            many people go to a job and have
                            many imperfections — our lives
                            should be lived correcting our
                            imperfections — living to be
                            like Jesus.
 

Messenger:               Fr. Carter said Mass and I attended almost
                            every day. He spent days every week traveling to
                            China and he listened to the daily discourse Jesus gave
                            me, discerned every message 4 times and heard
                            my confession usually daily. He prayed the Prayer
                            for Union and the consecration prayers from the prayer
                            manual before Mass every day. He prayed before and
                            after Mass and discerned the daily message after that,
                            he never missed the 6:20 prayers before the Blessed Sacrament —
                            he discerned all my prayers given by Jesus — Holy
                            Spirit Novena, Prayer for Union, Prayer before Mass and
                            then they got the Imprimatur and translated in 4 - 6
                            languages and the Imprimatur in those languages.

                                When I did the 5ths in Florida Mary appeared in
                            gold and rainbow-gold. The Blue Books have changed
                            many, many people's lives, but when Fr. Carter died and all
                            was in place with the Movement and Mary's head was
                            knocked off things became more and more difficult.
                            The very people who should be helping me may
                            have become more jealous and controlling and as
                            Mary and Jesus and God the Father still continue to
                            speak and I have 2 priests helping me — we can lose
                            our focus of how God expects us to treat the
                            pilgrims - to boast of the Movement and spread it
                            to the world.

                                Satan can press on people's unfinished business and
                            when they serve they can do it for their own personal
                            gain, greater glory for themselves, control, manipulation
                            and as I struggle to deliver the message as the rosary that
                            follows and Mary gave 11 years ago March 30, 1995 —

                            Mary appeared for 2 to 2 1/2 hours pink and brilliant.
                            I wrote

Mary appeared in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel for two hours. The whole corner was adorned in the most brilliant celestial light with a pink hew. Marty and I will never forget the experience of this evening. Jesus illuminated in the Sacred Heart statue during the litany and the promises of the Sacred Heart. Jesus requested that this rosary be circulated to all.

end of excerpt

  

Messenger:           Mary said she wanted us to pray this rosary
                                every day it was so important.

                            The public 5ths began April 5, 1995.

                            Mary warned in the March 30, 1995 rosary of children
                                suffering and they did in a catastrophe in
                                mid-April.

                                I see every one going into close relationships in marriage
                            and community and first they don't let their "hair
                            down" sometimes and show their real selves —
                            then they can become very selfish, controlling —
                            demanding people, fix unmet needs from the
                            past in their lives rather than serving and
                            building up the body — they begin tearing it
                            down — sometimes like babies — trying to get
                            people to fill them, heal their wounds and
                            make them happy.

                                Only God will completely satisfy our
                            desire for happiness in heaven. To think
                            a person, place or thing can do it here
                            below is to be grossly misinformed.

                                People should do things because it is
                            God's will, not do something in an organization
                            to change things because they have the
                            night off — Don't do anything that is not
                            God's will and discern the spirits prompting
                            you that you think are telling you God's will.
                            Pride is a big problem — That is why
                            God put it in the beginning of Genesis.

Messenger:       Nobody can fill our soul created to be
                               satisfied by God in
                               eternity.

                        Satan's activities are very masked as we
                            work with each other.

Jesus speaks:   My intent is to reveal to you
                                the workings of satan in your
                                lives.

                          If you quit working on yourselves and think
                              you are perfect - then work on others
                              to fix yourself — it's like working
                              on a leaking faucet by planting
                              flowers in the backyard. It does
                              not help the leaky faucet.

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.

Joyful Mysteries of the Rosary

October 17, 1995

THE BLASPHEMIES TO MARY

Let me die in Christ. He was crucified. Let me offer myself as a sacrifice in the Mass with Him that I will rise to new life in Him. Through Him, With Him, and In Him.

All graces flow through Mary's heart. She is the Mediatrix for all grace. We must venerate her Immaculate Heart. She is the highest human person. She was created immaculate. He gives us a model to follow, one without sin. He raises her to such heights. She is His Mother.

By venerating her Immaculate Heart, we are recognizing the goodness of God, His love for His creatures and the heights to which He raises men. He raised Mary, a creature, to the Motherhood of God.

This shows us the dignity and honor He gives to men - He made Mary, a human person, the Mother of Jesus! He makes Mary the Mother of all men. He makes Mary the Mediatrix of all graces.

We are denying our own importance to God when we deny the fact that Mary was conceived without original sin. She is a human person. He so loved man that He created her spotless. Eve was without sin - Eve sinned; Mary is conceived immaculate - she is sinless - the new Eve.

The first blasphemy is against her Immaculate Conception. Mary's heart is pure, sinless. It is in her sinless heart, we can dwell deeply in His Heart. The devil has waged a war against Mary for he knows Mary is the gatekeeper of the Heart of Christ.

The second blasphemy:

Mary did not unite with a creature, she is the spouse of the Holy Spirit.

It is in this act, between Divinity and humanity, that the Son of God is born.

She is the spouse of the Holy Spirit. She is betrothed to Him.

The third blasphemy is against her as Mother of God. It is by loving through Mary's pure heart that we give great love to God. We want to love Him so much, in her pure heart, we love through her Immaculate Heart. We are sinners. She is sinless.

I understand her role as Mediatrix of all graces. He loves creatures so much He chooses Mary, a human person, to be the Mother of Jesus. She is the Mediatrix of all His graces.

To not recognize this is to not recognize the great dignity to which He has raised His creatures that He has chosen Mary to be the Mother of God. She is the Mediatrix of all graces. (We are not recognizing our own dignity if we do not recognize that Mary is given this great gift from God. This is how God loves His creatures).

God raises man to such heights that He creates him in His own image and likeness. Adam sinned against God; God is faithful to His promises. God sends a Redeemer to save man from their sins.

God enters the world in a human creature, Mary. By denying the Immaculate Heart of Mary, we are denying our own dignity and honor. God wishes us to venerate and make reparation to her Immaculate Heart - to do so is to see the great dignity and honor and love God has for His creatures.

She is the highest human person. She is the New Eve. She is conceived without original sin. She is a virgin, espoused to the Holy Spirit. She is the Mother of God. Her heart is invisibly pierced with a sword. She walks the Passion with our Lord.

To know Mary, to love her, to see her great dignity and honor, is to know His love for His creatures, to know more His love for us.

To hate Mary is to not recognize God's great love for us.

She is the highest, created, human person. She is our model. She is Mary, Immaculate, Mother of the human race. She is a human person and He raises her to all these heights. People who do not honor Mary do not understand the greatness which God has given to His beloved creatures. We miss the love God has for us.

It is to miss our own dignity and honor. He makes her the Mediatrix of all graces-all life flows through her. Man is united to God in her womb. Oh, holy, holy womb of Mary. Mary, Immaculate, conceived without sin, virgin, betrothed to the Holy Spirit.

It is the work of the devil to blaspheme Mary in her Immaculate Conception, virginity, and against her as Mother of God.

When I understand the great love God has for Mary, the great dignity and honor He gives to Mary, I understand more fully His great love for me. Mary is the highest human person. In recognizing Mary in her specialness to God, I recognize His specialness for me.

There are five blasphemies against Mary. They are against her Immaculate Conception, against her virginity, against her as the Mother of God, against her images and statues, against her as mother of her children. Some little children are taught ugly things about their heavenly Mother. Some little children are taught to hate her.

The rosary is the story of the love of God for His creatures. His love is perfectly communicated in the Persons of the Trinity. He wishes to share His love and goodness with man.

In giving such great dignity to Mary, God adds to the dignity of each of us. The devil has tried to divide men from their Mother. Some priests and religious do not honor Mary. Some members of the Church do not honor Mary. Not to honor Mary is not to properly recognize our own dignity. We do not recognize the heights to which God raises His creatures. She is the model. He gives to her the role as Mediatrix of all graces - as co-redemptrix, she shares in Jesus' role. She is so united to her Son.

The message of Fatima says this: God wishes the Immaculate Heart of Mary to be venerated next to His Sacred Heart. We must venerate her heart next to His. Her heart is so closely joined to His. Her heart is immaculate. She was conceived without sin. She is a virgin. All are to recognize the close union Jesus wants with His creatures. He came into this world with a Heart of deepest love. This is how God loved this world. Jesus' Heart is a symbol of this love. His Heart was formed in the womb of Mary. Jesus wants His Heart venerated with the heart of Mary. In this way, He shows His intense love for us, His creatures. He raises us to such heights. He is so closely linked with the highest human person. He wants His Heart venerated with His Mother's heart. His Mother's heart is the key to His Heart. This is our little heaven on earth. How could sinful men enter the Heart of Christ? We go to the heart of Mary, she is the sinless one. We give ourselves completely to her that we will be able to go to the deepest chamber of His Heart. Her heart is sinless.

To me, the message of Fatima is this: Here is God - Here is Man. God, in His goodness and love, creates man, and man sins against God. God so loves His creatures He comes into the world, His Heart formed in the womb of a creature.

Mary is the highest human person. To not recognize Mary, her Immaculate Heart, and the fact that she is a virgin, espoused to the Holy Spirit, is to miss a big link between God and His creatures. We cannot go deeply into His Heart unless we go through the sinless one, Mary. He made her a human person entirely sinless and pure. Divinity unites to humanity in the heart of Mary.

He wishes His Heart to be venerated next to hers because of His great love for us. To not recognize Mary is to miss our own dignity and honor and the love He has for us. We were created to know, love, and serve God. We are creatures - He is God.

Heaven is a gift given to us from the Supreme Being, God. We must realize that if we go to heaven it is because of His great love for us.

To not recognize Mary, her Immaculate Heart, the virgin birth, Mary as Mother of God, is to have pride in our hearts. We are creatures, He is our Creator. It is to not see the connection between God and man. Divinity is joined to humanity. God, the Son of God, becomes man. His Divinity is joined to our humanity in the Incarnation. She is the Mother of God!

She is a virgin (espoused to the Holy Spirit), and she is immaculate - conceived without sin.

God has entrusted to Mary the peace of the world. Mary appears at Fatima and tells us her peace plan. It is centered in 1. consecrating our hearts to Jesus and Mary, 2. the rosary, 3. first Saturday devotion, 4. making reparation to Their Hearts. If what Mary has asked for is observed, we will have peace. If she is ignored, we will not have peace.

In reparation, we give ourselves as a holy sacrifice at the Mass. We unite at Holy Communion in the deepest union with God and tell Him we want to help make reparation to His adorable Heart. This is a most pleasing offering to the Father. We want to help make reparation for the blasphemies against her heart. Whether the world has war or peace depends on Mary's peace plan.

In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, we are telling people about consecrating their hearts to Jesus and Mary. If enough people give their hearts to Jesus and Mary, we will have peace. Their hearts, then, will be hearts of love and will respond in love to all difficulties and turn to God. If most people do not respond to Mary's plan and remain bitter and hateful in their hearts, we will have war. The heart determines our actions. Hearts consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary are hearts of love. Hearts that are filled with bitterness and hatred will respond with hate and start wars.

It is a great gift to be called to be an apostle in the Shepherds of Christ Movement and spread His love to the world.

Mary said that until a sufficient number have consecrated their hearts to Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.

This is good news, we must try to spread this Movement to the world. Fr. Carter is reaching the priests in his spirituality newsletter. It is centered in consecrating the priests' hearts to Jesus and Mary.

We are reaching the sisters and brothers in a newsletter for religious, written by a sister and Fr. Carter. We have prayer chapters all over the world praying for priests and consecrating their hearts to Jesus and Mary. We have adult chapters and children chapters.

Jesus is my refuge and my life. It is in Him I live. His Mother is my Mother. She is the highest human person. How tenderly He loves His creatures that He gave to her the gift of becoming Mother of God. A creature becomes the Mother of God! It is in realizing this mystery more, I see His immense love for me.

He gives to Mary the gift of being born without sin. She is a human person. She is sinless.

She is our model, and she is our Mother. She is immaculate. He raises her to be so pure and holy. It is in blaspheming her that we are hurting ourselves for she is our beloved Mother. In blaspheming her, we do not realize the great dignity and honor that God raises man when He gives this great gift to her.

Notes: The most perfect sacrifice, the most efficacious prayer, is, of course, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered to God.

MARY OUR MOTHER

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He revealed to her:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary…"⁴⁷

This last message offers us an excellent opportunity to summarize the Fatima message. It tells us "that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary."⁴⁸

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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