From Blue Book 15

The Agony in the Garden

l. R. Before the apparitions for Fatima that started in May 13, 1917 the angel appeared 3 times and somebody noted this week that before Jesus began to give His messages, October 13, 1996, that the angel appeared  two times to two different people on August 13, 1996 on the Farm. 

2. R. In one of the apparitions by the angel  it says, the angel came bearing a gold chalice in one hand and a host above it in the other.  The amazed children noticed the 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 the most 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. Our Lady's Peace Plan, op cit., p.2.

3. R. There were three visits from the angel. Three months before Jesus started to give His messages for the completion of the Fatima message, August 13, 1996 two women had visions.

Vision as seen by Ellen, August 13, 1996 - Arlinghaus' Farm, Shepherds of Christ Meeting

"I had a profound experience this evening. As soon as the rosary started, I looked up towards the sun and I couldn't turn away. I realized there was a covering over the sun and that I would perhaps witness the miracle of the sun. Instead, after a few rotations, I began to see clear pictures: first, I saw the cross, Mary and Joseph holding our baby Jesus, and then what seemed to be a large Host, the Monstrance, and an angel holding up the Host, but I wasn't sure so I closed my eyes and said to myself, 'Dear Lord, I would love to see an angel as I have never seen one.' And with that within a split second a huge figure appeared, bigger than life, and came crashing to the earth, right before our group and returned. It was St. Michael! I recognized him immediately - his short, curly blond hair, his armor, which was brownish, but the whole figure of Michael was orange. His presence filled the whole area with bright light. It is difficult to describe, but I see St. Michael before me now as he appeared and want to share this with everyone because, surely, he has appeared to assure us of his protection for the Shepherds of Christ."   * Warning: Eye damage can occur from staring at the sun.

R. This was August 13th and Jesus began His messages for the completion of the Fatima message on  October 13th, 1996. 

4. R. Ellen noted that she had water that felt as if it was splashed on her and she didn’t talk to another woman, Mary and Mary said the exact same thing about the water. Mary said, and this night was just terrible because the mikes weren’t there and the girls had to go to Radio Shack two times before we could start the rosary. And so John started the seven sorrows and it was the first time that he was there and he was not the president yet.

Vision as seen by another woman, August 13, 1996 - Arlinghaus' Farm, Shepherds of Christ Meeting

"On August 13, 1996 during the Shepherds of Christ prayer meeting, I saw the miracle of the sun.

When John started the Seven Sorrows of Mary, the sun appeared to be spinning through the trees. There was a disk in front of the sun. The disk was turning different colors including "Virgin Mary Blue". Different colored lasers also appeared to be coming from the sun.

The sun started growing brighter than normal that I had to close my eyes. When I opened them, the tree below the sun had turned to a brilliant light. The Angel of the Lord was in the tree.

I then noticed a very blue line coming down the middle of the river towards our side of the shore. After the blue line reached the shore, I felt a drop of water on my forehead. I looked up and saw nothing. I proceeded to pray when, I felt another drop of water fall on my forehead. One more time I looked up and saw nothing. When I looked towards the river again there was a brilliant golden light standing on the river. The brilliant golden light, which was the Angel of the Lord, ascended from the river and disappeared over the state of Kentucky.

I then looked straight ahead towards the deck, and when I did, I noticed more brilliant lights in the bushes and trees surrounding the deck and us.  *There appeared to be angels encamped all around us.

Next I noticed the bottom branches of the tree directly in front of the deck moving and bending, it is then that I saw the brilliant outlines of Jesus and Mary in the tree. They were standing side by side in the tree during the entire rosary."

5. R. I mean to note here that Ellen saw the monstrance and the Host and the angel and Sister 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, ”take and drink the body and blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful. Make reparation for their crimes and console your God." Ellen also had told me one other time that she had a dream in which she received the Holy Communion. It was a gigantic Host. And then she had this vision on August 13th. 

6. R. And so we see Jesus in the garden and the angel appeared to Him to comfort Him. Jesus' agony was so great that Jesus sweat blood. Is this not what we are doing in our lives? That we are living Their lives in our life this day. And so when we struggle so hard to do His work and we are pressed on and we suffer, should we not expect to live as He lived. For this is why Jesus came to this earth to show us the way, to show us how to live. And  it is most important as we meditate on the mysteries of the rosary that we meditate on each mystery of the rosary, and see how it is unfolding in our lives. See how in the Joyful mysteries how we are being brought forth as children into the light. As the incarnation goes on in us we see how in these Sorrowful mysteries of the rosary we truly are living as we walk with the cross on our back , as we struggle sometimes and are pressed on, with the crown of thorns on our head and we feel as if sometimes we have sweat blood.  For the more that we become like Christ, the more that our life is identified to His. And there is always the glory and the resurrection. For I know in this great suffering that there is this great union with Him, this great oneness with Him, that is so present in our hearts and that is the greatest gift that we have. It’s our life that we share in Him. 

7. Song: Spirit Song

R. The Blood of Jesus. The most Precious Blood of Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The priest has the power to change the bread and the wine into the Body and the Blood of Jesus. This wine is the fruit of the vine. 

8. Song: I Am the Vine

9. R. Jesus wanted me to read the two readings at Mass this morning and I didn’t bring them in, so you may read these later after we have prayed this rosary and concentrate on the blood in both of those readings. He also wanted this to be read. February 23, l997, in the Apostles Manual. 

February 23, 1997 - Sacrifice

When I go to Mass I offer a sacrifice. God wants our all. He wants to be first in our life. He asked Abraham to sacrifice his son.

Gen. 22:1-2, 9-13, 15-18:

It happened some time later that God put Abraham to the test. "Abraham, Abraham!" he called. "Here I am," he replied. God said, "Take your son, your only son, your beloved Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, where you are to offer him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I shall point out to you.

When they arrived at the place which God had indicated to him, Abraham built an altar there, and arranged the wood. Then he bound his son and put him on the altar on top of the wood. Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to kill his son.

But the angel of Yahweh called to him from heaven. "Abraham, Abraham!" he said. "Here I am," he replied. Do not raise your hand against the boy," the angel said. "Do not harm him, for now I know you fear God. You have not refused me your own beloved son." Then looking up, Abraham saw a ram caught by its horns in a bush. Abraham took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

The angel of Yahweh called Abraham a second time from heaven. "I swear by my own self, Yahweh declares, that because you have done this, because you have not refused me your own beloved son, I will shower blessings on you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and the grains of sand on the seashore. Your descendants will gain possession of the gates of their enemies. All nations on earth will bless themselves by your descendants, because you have obeyed my command.

10. R. And so we see Jesus through the passion. And we see how He suffered. We see Him bound, at the pillar and we say to ourselves he was bound at the pillar. But was He bound? For true freedom is in living according to the Father’s will.

It was in His suffering as He sweat the blood in the garden as He was bound at the pillar, as He was crowned with thorns, as He shed His most Precious Blood that He gave Himself for our sins to His death on the cross.

Song: I Love You Jesus

 

The Scourging at the Pillar 

l. R. Envision Jesus vividly before your eyes at the pillar. See His head  stooped, His hair long and stringy and dark and see the men stand beside Him as they beat Him. We see a man, we see a man that looks like He is restrained. We see a man that looks like He is beaten and suffering. We see Jesus Christ, the Son of God, our beloved, who came to this earth. Jesus is our Savior, Savior of the world. 

2. R. Jesus wanted this particular reading read and it’s entitled February 23rd - Sacrifice.

February 23, 1997 - Sacrifice - continues

The Father gave His Son for us. This is how great the Father's love is for us.

When we go to the altar many times we are suffering. We want something really bad, but we know we love God the most. What the Father asks for us is to offer that which we are so attached to as a sacrifice, united to the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus. If we offer this sacrifice to Him, the Father will pour out blessings that will be divine blessings, greater than anything we could have here on earth.

The Mass is the perfect sacrifice we offer to the Father, in which God pours out His blessings and we are one with Him and with all others in a profound expression of love. God shares His divine love with us and we partake in an intense way in His divine loving capacity. In order to become one in Him and to feel His love like this, we must surrender ourselves and be open.

He told Abraham to offer his son. God gave him his son back. He wanted Abraham to love God above all things and people.

3. February 23, 1997 - Sacrifice - continues

Jesus offered Himself as a sacrifice to the Father. This is the most pleasing sacrifice to the Father. If He gave His Son Who died for love of us, will He deny us when we unite our petitions with Jesus and offer these at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass?

He took them to the highest mountain and He was transfigured before them in the greatest light.
 

4. R. I see the altar of sacrifice on the highest mountain. Think of the mountain being the Church. And from this high point the priest, think of the priest. The priest can be a great witness more and more as he gives himself to Jesus and Mary. The priest is another Christ to us. See grace outpoured in copious fashion to all the earth. The people of the earth are fed by the Almighty God. Priests need to consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary. People are to consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary. This is our mission. In the Shepherds of Christ Movement for God has called us here to pray for the priests and for the renewal of the Church and the world. This morning  I went to church and it is so difficult many times because it feels as if the people are so disconnected with one another. I pray for great unity. We want unity in great openness at Church. Jesus is the vine, we are the branches. We are one body. We are united in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Jesus gives to us His Body and Blood. What union! To spread this Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary is our mission in the Shepherds of Christ. This is what the Father is teaching to us to pray these prayers fervently. Asked to be dressed in Jesus' Precious Blood. Pray, He says from prayer 10 to the end. We are praying the words that Jesus gave to Fr. Carter for devotion of His Heart and Mary's Heart. We are praying for the renewal of the Church and the world. We are praying and consecrating our hearts that we will be one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. These are great gifts that God has given to us. Today, Jesus is greatly offended because of the way that He is treated. We pray in reparation for our sins. Is this the love affair that God wants with us and with each other in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Jesus gave Himself, shed His Precious Body and Blood. Jesus teaches us all about the will of God, that it is in self surrender and in giving, and He is teaching us truly in this Movement. See the power of these prayers. Ask Jesus to dress us in His Precious Blood when we pray these prayers. God wants us to pray the prayers. Jesus gave to us these prayers for the renewal of the Church and the world. Jesus gave these prayers to pray for the priests. 

5. R. Bound at the pillar, look at the man, do you see Him? And they come down on Jesus and they tear Jesus' flesh. Jesus bleeds and Jesus is wide open. Look at Jesus. Jesus is King. Is this a king? Today is the Feast of the Precious Body and Blood of Christ. Oh my God, to receive Jesus and to know Jesus' presence. Jesus, I long to be one with You. And you just want Jesus to take you to Himself.  You are united in the great oneness with God and with all of humanity. This is the gift that Jesus has showed us for He has raised the veil and He has let us experience Himself in a most intimate fashion. And so the world does not seem very connected to us. Pray for great grace that the world will be more united in Him.

Mark 9:2-10:

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, "Rabbi," he said, "it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah." He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, "This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him." Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.

7.  February 23, 1997 - Sacrifice - continues

We go to the altar of sacrifice. The mountain to come, in which so many graces will flow, is the altar of sacrifice where the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is offered through the hands of consecrated priests.

We hear the Father say, "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, listen to Him."    end of excerpt
 

R. On Tuesday there is Eucharistic Adoration and is there one to go to visit Him? Yet there are so many to go to this festival. Jesus wants us to love Him, to adore Him, to go to the Eucharist, to bow down as the angel, to kiss the floor, to say, ”Oh, my almighty God how I love You and how I adore You”. This is our mission, but we may not understand the seriousness of this. We feel afraid. I go to the festival and I see so many people. I know in my heart how it is. I know the Eucharist truly is the Son of God. Whether there is one or five thousand people there in front of the Exposed Eucharist. I know it is Jesus and I am most intimately united to Jesus. I want deeper union with God.

8. R. People should be told from the pulpit to come before the tabernacle and before the Exposed Eucharist! We will bow down and we will pray and we will be a holy people. And Jesus stood there at the pillar and He was tied and He looked like a man that was beaten, and that was about to die at the pillar. But Jesus withstood it. For Jesus knew that it was the will of God. For the freedom truly is in doing the will of God. 

9. R. Jesus speaks of Himself as the teacher in the All Night Message. It is so important that you study this message for He is truly revealing so many things in this message and in the Apostles Manual. We in this group, though very small in number, have been chosen by Him as a core group that will help in the renewal of the Church and the world. But you must believe this in your whole heart that we can help by doing what God tells us. For if the vision gets away from us, we will not work according to His plan. He has truly called each one of us here to be major in the renewal of the Church and the world. Let us be one praying deeply united in wanting to spread Jesus' love. Look, look, look what they did to Christ. This is Jesus, the Son of God. They nailed Him to a cross and they left Him hang for three hours to His death. They beat Him at the pillar and they crowned Him as a king with a crown of thorns. And He loved them so much! And He is the Savior. He gave Himself for us, for our sins.

10. R. Jesus said in the message on December 19, 1996,  the light began to steal across the darkened sky and the moon was covered with blood. The blood was the blood of the Lamb. The blood represented the blood Jesus shed to give us life. But the blind man just saw ordinary blood and were scared to death. They responded with the greatest fright and lacked peace. But those rooted in God, those whose hearts were consecrated to Mary and Jesus, knew the sign was from God. That the time of reckoning was at hand. Many were punished and suffered. 
 

Jesus: My Beloved Ones,

You will know a great time of trial and darkness. I have written to you of the great sufferings to come. The sinfulness of this world greatly displeases Me. I beg you to pray for forgiveness and turn your hearts to love.

And darkness covered the earth and the light was cast in little corners of the earth. Those who were willful remained in intense darkness, those who were rooted in God, and giving themselves to consecration, were the children of the light.

And the light shown in the darkness and the darkness grasped it not, but to as many as responded, they became the children of the light and from them His life flowed into the hearts that were cold and dark and slowly, very slowly, the light began to steal across the darkened sky and the moon was covered with blood. The blood was the blood of the Lamb. The blood represented the blood He shed to give us life. But the blind just saw ordinary blood and were scared to death. They responded with the greatest fright and lacked peace, but those rooted in God, those whose hearts were consecrated to Mary and Jesus, knew the sign was from God—that the time of reckoning was at hand. Many were punished and suffered a great chastisement. Many were left to death, but the children of light prayed the rosary and trusted in God.

And the night was no more for the light of day came stealing across the sky and myriads of angels filled the sky and the heavens. Sing Alleluia, Praise the Lord, you saints and angels, show yourselves to the survivors for they walked in darkness and could not see, but the light was alive in their hearts and they dwelt within the furnace of His Heart.

Have no fear now, My people, for you are the children of the light and My hand is forever upon you. You may suffer now a little, but it is nothing compared to the splendor to come.

R. Oh, reign of peace, reign of the Sacred Heart, triumph of her Immaculate Heart, we wait for you anxiously for the nights have been cold and dark and we cried a bitter cry in the darkness but we knew of the glories to come for we forever trusted in You and Your mighty hand.

Your hand is struck with power. The Virgin Mary warned the poor children that died an eternal death to mind their ways and they cried out, "Not me, oh, no, God — your ways are stiff necked and cruel. I want for foolish pleasure now and tomorrow will care for itself."

And the Lord called and called and they marched into the darkness with cold hearts, telling the Almighty God, 'no'.

Mary: Oh, my children, my little children of light, the time is nigh and many will be lost forever. I appeared and warned and told all to mind their ways and come to the Heart of my Son and they said "No, my Lady, not for you or any mother. We are children of darkness and that we remain, for we seek our pleasure by day and feast on sin all night and when you called, mother, we laughed at your Son and ignored Him and His ways." And He called and His call fell on deaf ears.

Please, my children of light, come to my heart now for although you walked next to the children of darkness. I smite the dragon that whirled around you and protected you in my heart and you will now feast on the glories of His Kingdom, my little children of light.

R. And He says that the blood represented the blood He shed to give them life. But the blind just saw ordinary blood and were scared to death.  It is so hard for me to even get the prayer manuals into a church. It is just an unbelievable feat to even try to start a little prayer group in which we are praying to consecrate our hearts to Jesus and Mary. This is what Jesus wants. Jesus wants us to pray these
prayers and to spread this to the far corners of the earth. But I did not realize the power of these prayers or how important they were to Jesus and Mary, until He gave the message on bloody Friday that said, that He would give special grace when we pray at the hours of 3, 6, 9 and 12 is the most important. And when we pray that He will dress us in His Precious Blood and the more that we suffer then we will be waiting for 3 o’clock to come to pray the Divine Mercy, and to pray these prayers, because we will realize the power of the prayers and how important they are. And then we will be motivated to spread this to the far corners of the earth. Jesus told us in many messages how important the prayers were, how important the Priestly Newsletter is, we pray every hour. But in your heart where else can you go? Does it matter if there’s 2 or 500 people in that Church where Jesus is exposed? That’s where my heart is. That’s where I want to be. If we are tied at the pillar or if we are feeling an immense joy, our heart is with Jesus, whatever it is, it is the will of God that we want because we want God.  

Song: A Song from Jesus

 

The Crowning with Thorns 

l. R. And on December 22, 1996, Jesus said, “And the moon will be covered with blood. It was the blood of the Lamb and it poured forth on a sinful world to cleanse them of their sin, and I give you My Body and Blood in the Mass and I am ignored.

He slapped their hands and He smite their cheeks and they laughed in their pain and continued their willful ways. But the day of reckoning is at hand and I will separate the sheep from the goats and the sheep I will take home with Me. The goats will know a day as they never knew before for My justice will prevail.”

2. R. And Mary came, Our Lady of Light, every day for fourteen months to warn us, her children, and to tell us what we must do and she was ignored. Mary speaks on December 19th, 1996.

December 19, 1996

Mary: Oh, my children, my little children of light, the time is nigh and many will be lost forever. I appeared and warned and told all to mind their ways and come to the Heart of my Son and they said "No, my Lady, not for you or any mother. We are children of darkness and that we remain, for we seek our pleasure by day and feast on sin all night and when you called, mother, we laughed at your Son and ignored Him and His ways." And He called and His call fell on deaf ears.

Please, my children of light, come to my heart now for although you walked next to the children of darkness. I smite the dragon that whirled around you and protected you in my heart and you will now feast on the glories of His Kingdom, my little children of light.
 

3. Revelation 12: 1-2

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

R. Mary said to us that she appears in Florida as Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas. This to me looks similar to Our Lady of Guadalupe. For notice the similarity between Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Lady that appears on the building in Florida. She was pregnant and in labor and Our Lady of Guadalupe is pregnant and crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. 

Revelation 12: 3-4

Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born.

                (10) Mark 14: 32-44

They came to a plot of land called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, ‘Stay here while I pray.’ Then he took Peter and James and John with him. And he began to feel terror and anguish. And he said to them, ‘My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here, and stay awake.’ And going on a little further he threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, this hour might pass him by. ‘Abba,  Father!’ he said, ‘For you everything is possible. Take this cup away from me. But let it be as you, not I, would have it.’ He came back and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, ‘Simon, are you asleep? Had you not the strength to stay awake one hour? Stay awake and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.’ Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. And once more he came back and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy; and they could find no answer for him. He came back a third time and said to them, ‘You can sleep on now and have your rest. It is all over. The hour has come. Now the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up! Let us go! My betrayer is not far away.’

And at once, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came up and with him a number of men armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. Now the traitor had arranged a signal with them saying, ‘The one I kiss, he is the man. Arrest him, and see he is well guarded when you lead him away.’

                Glory Be

                Sing: A Song from Jesus

                The Scourging at the Pillar

                Sing: Oh Lord hear our prayer

                R. Say Our Father

                (1) Jesus was tied to the pillar –
                    Think of men enslaved to bad
                        habits in their lives –
                    Like enslaved to bad habits,
                        of anger, pride, jealousy,
                        envy, slothfulness, lust,
                        greed, gluttony –

                (2) R. Oh God, please break the chains
                    in our lives that keep us
                    from doing Your will –
                    and these chains are the chains
                    of our own will opposed to You –

                (3) R. Oh God we are so sorry for
                    our sins –
                    we ask to be forgiven and

                    Jesus suffered for our sins –
                    Jesus loves us so much
                    Jesus allowed Himself to be
                        beaten for our sins.

                (9) R. Oh God, we worship You, we love You
                    and we adore You –

                Song: Give Me Your Heart of Jesus –
                        Give Me a heart like Yours –

                (1) Matthew 27: 27-31

Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Praetorium and collected the whole cohort round him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet cloak round him, and having twisted some thorns into a crown they put this on his head and placed a reed in his right hand. To make fun of him they knelt to him saying, ‘Hail, king of the Jews!’ And they spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head with it. And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the cloak and dressed him in his own clothes and led him away to crucifixion.

                Sacrifice of the Mass going on
                around the world in the Holy Spirit –
                through the powerful intercession
                of Our Lady of Clearwater
                with all the angels and saints

                    recording.

                (3) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary

R. Dear God the Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory, we come in one mind and one heart and we ask you to please help us in all of our needs. We ask that the Blood of Jesus is spread on all these people, consecrate their hearts, cast the devil, ask for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Pray to the Father, in the name of Jesus, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, pray through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater, and we pray united with all the people that are listening on the radio. I want to pray for some special people, for Eva, for Sonny, especially for Melanie and Dan, and the people that ask us to pray for them, a little boy named Jack, and another little boy named Matthew, that are just like so heroic, in their sicknesses. Pray for Amanda, and all the people that are suffering with that fear of their health, and knowing that they are completely dependent on God, and we pray, of course, for the priests, the Church and the world, and the people, consecrate all their hearts, cast the devil far away, and ask for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We pray that we will be united in body, mind and soul and that God will outpour His grace on all of our members and donors and leaders, and all of their families, and anybody that  touches their families. You know that since July 5, 1994 that is 21 years, I have been doing the 5ths,  it's a lot of years, and doing them every month like this. And in all the years that God, has called me to do these 5ths, I can say that He has said that He outpours His grace, especially on the 5ths, and He gave us this building, it is a great gift that He has given to us. And the Blessed Mother appeared on this building for 7 1/2 years for everybody to see, and I don't think ever in the history of the world, was there such a beautiful image of the Blessed Mother like she appeared here. She would wear her different little dresses, as the sun hit her in different ways. When we used to pray the 5ths outside, there was just this, it was hard to explain, it was just a presence that I knew out there. And even after her image head got knocked off, then there was, the face of Jesus, that was out there. I could really feel, you know that, that special gift how God was really close to us, as we prayed. There has been a lot of prayers that have gone out of Shepherds of Christ, the first 5th that Mary appeared to me, which was July 5th, 1994, and I was a lot younger then, and so I have kind of grown old with the 5ths. And today, of course, is no less special in the mind of God. It stands for the 5 blasphemies and the 5 wounds of Christ, which is what They told me in the beginning. Now lets all think about the 5 wounds of Christ because we are in Lent right now. Why did God want us to venerate 5 wounds? Think of the wounds that were all over the entire body of Christ, the wounds that were the bashing to His head. You know we can hit our head on the wall in the dark, and if we don't put some ice on it, we might end up having a knot on our head. You know, there was nobody there to put ice on the head of Jesus, when they pounded the thorns into His head. There was nobody there to hold the hand of Jesus, as I'm sure, there was splinters all over His hands and gashes, from the way that the men beat Him and made Him carry His cross. How about the feet of Jesus, that carried this wounded, whipped, bloodied body, with the cross on His back, ladden with our sins. When we look in pride and we say to ourselves, 'I did nothing!' And we know in our hearts,  we must really look at ourselves honestly, if our pride is growing more and more. We need humility. Humility needs to blossom so people can see us as a witness for Christ. The 5 wounds of Christ, and so they pounded into His head a crown of thorns. God has called us to be more and more in His image and likeness, and to be more and more in His image and likeness, God is love. God is the source of love, the Divine Almighty God. How can we be unloving when God is so good to us. God has given us all these years on this earth, to learn how to love Him and to love others as ourselves. And if we pass that test, it's like going to school, like I went to college and I taught college, and you end up giving the people material and then at the end, then they have to take a test, if they don't go to the classes, if they don't do the work, they will fail the test. Well, the test that God is giving to us, is the test, in the question that we will have on the day of judgment, which is, did you love God with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole being and love your neighbor as yourselves. Have we reported for the classes that God has given to us, day after day, in dealing with ourselves and others in the world, in trying to be witnesses, that are growing more and more, in the image and likeness of God. And I look at the Blue Books that He has given to me, the writings that He has given to me since 1991, when He first showed me His heart, which used to be on the first cover on the Blue Book II. And it was a Heart that was on fire for love of us. And the lessons that we need to learn in His school, are the lessons of love. They are lessons of unity. They are the lessons of having that imprint, more and more, of the Divine Creator on our hearts, where He has given to us the Blessed Mother, who appeared in this image on the building here, to teach us how important she is in our spiritual life. What is the lesson that Mary, the Mother of God, is teaching us, when she appears on this building, that her heart is a heart that we can go to, because she was conceived without sin.

                (4) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary continues

R. And it says in John, if we go through our whole life and say, I'm not a sinner, then we are liars. Lent is a time to go into the desert and to say to ourselves – I am a sinner. I am prideful. God, give me the increase of faith, of believing in You, not in myself – in believing in You more, of imprinting Yourself on my soul, more and more, as I increase in the virtues of faith, hope and love. There's work to be done. This is the biggest school that there is, of our life, and many of us, were given that entrance into His school as babies, in baptism. And if it wasn't as babies in baptism, some where down the line, if we were baptized, we were given such a gift in baptism, to share in His Divine life, to be on our way, more and more, in knowing God, as God reveals Himself to us, as God gives us this elevated capacity to know and to love. And the world is always flinging before our eyes, their wares, and satan comes in and he wants us to think about ourselves, in pride, in anger, and jealousy, and all this kind of stuff. And do you see Christ, like I see Him, with a crown of thorns on His head, with blood running down into His eyes and in His ears, because of our sins of pride, because of our sins of trying to take what is wrong and tell us that it is right, when it was just as easy, to be other focused, instead of self-focused, and selfish, which led to division, rather than unity, building relationship with others, so that the world would see our love and they would know that we are Christians by our love. The choice is ours, because we do have a free will. We can look at the 5 wounds of Christ, and we look at His crowned head, and say to ourselves, 'Well, I didn't know, I am without sin' or we can say 'Oh, my God I am sorry for I have sinned.' This is what Lent is about, to look at the hands of Christ, with the nails and to think of how many times we were grabbing out for our selfish interest, rather than asking ourselves, what would Jesus want me to do here. How is He calling me to give my hands, to open up my heart to others? Where have our feet taken us, in serving our own selfish interest, instead of seeing the feet of Jesus, on the cross? Can you imagine how awful it was for Christ to hang on that Cross by two nails, after being beaten?

                (5) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary continues

R. You know yesterday, we had a trying day and I was really worn out just because we had to do a lot of stuff. Can you imagine how worn out Christ was, after going through the whipping at the pillar, the crowning with thorns, the carrying of the cross, and then for them to hang Him as a spectacle in front of the world, and He endured it all. Because He wants us to know how much He loves us and He has given us all these Blue Book writings. He is calling us to be in the front of the class, saying 'I report for class today, Jesus, to help build Your Kingdom, to love my neighbor as myself. To have You in my heart day and night, Jesus. That you are never far from my heart.' Because that is the 5th wound. It is the piercing of the Heart of Jesus, because He said over and over again, in Blue Book II, His greatest agony was not the agony that He suffered on the cross, but the agony that He suffered for those that treat Him so dishonorable, rejecting Him after all He has given. God is Divine. God is Supreme. God gives us a sharing in His life in baptism and our knowing and loving capacity is elevated.

The Crucifixion 

(1) Luke 15: 1-3, 11-32

The tax collectors and sinners, however, were all crowding round to listen to him, and the Pharisees and scribes complained saying, ‘This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.’ So he told them this parable:

Then he said, ‘There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, "Father, let me have the share of the estate that will come to me," So the father divided the property between them. A few days later, the younger son got together everything he had and left for a distant country where he squandered his money on a life of debauchery.

When he had spent it all, that country experienced a severe famine, and now he began to feel the pinch; so he hired himself out to one of the local inhabitants who put him on his farm to feed the pigs. And he would willingly have filled himself with the husks the pigs were eating but no one would let him have them. Then he came to his senses and said, "How many of my father’s hired men have all the food they want and more, and here am I dying of hunger! I will leave this place and go to my father and say: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired men." So he left the place and went back to his father.

‘While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with pity. He ran to the boy, clasped him in his arms and kissed him. Then his son said, : "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son." But the father said to his servants, "Quick! Bring out the best robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the calf we have been fattening and kill it; we will celebrate by having a feast, because this son of mine was dead and has come back to life; he was lost and is found." And they began to celebrate.

‘Now the elder son was out in the fields, and on his way back, as he drew near the house, he could hear music and dancing. Calling one of the servants he asked what it was all about. The servant told him, "Your brother has come, and your father has killed the calf we had been fattening because he has got him back safe and sound." He was angry then and refused to go in, and His father came out and began to urge him to come in; but he retorted to his father, "All these years I have slaved for you and never once disobeyed any orders of yours, yet you never offered me so much as a kid for me to celebrate with my friends. But, for this son of yours, when he comes back after swallowing up your property—he and his loose women—you kill the calf we have been fattening.

‘The father said, "My son, you are with me always and all I have is yours. But it was only right we should celebrate and rejoice, because your brother here was dead and has come to life; he was lost and is found.’

(3) R. When the blood is on the door –
    he will pass over the home –
 

Exodus 12: 21-27

Injunctions relating to the Passover

Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, ‘Go and choose a lamb or kid for your families, and kill the Passover victim. Then take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and with the blood from the basin touch the lintel and both door–posts; then let none of you venture out of the house till morning. Then, when Yahweh goes through Egypt to strike it, and sees the blood on the lintel and on both door–posts, he will pass over the door and not allow the Destroyer to enter your homes and strike. You will observe this as a decree binding you and your children for all time, and when you have entered the country which Yahweh will give you, as he has promised, you will observe this ritual. And when your children ask you, "What does this ritual mean?" you will tell them, "It is the Passover sacrifice in honour of Yahweh who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt, and struck Egypt but spared our houses." ’ And the people bowed in worship. The Israelites then went away and did as Yahweh had ordered Moses and Aaron.

(4) Exodus 24: 3-8

Moses went and told the people all Yahweh's words and all the laws, and all the people answered with one voice, 'All the words Yahweh has spoken we will carry out!' Moses put all Yahweh's words into writing, and early next morning he built an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve standing-stones for the twelve tribes of Israel. Then he sent certain young Israelites to offer burnt offerings and sacrifice bullocks to Yahweh as communion sacrifices. Moses then took half the blood and put it into basins, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar. Then, taking the Book of the Covenant, he read it to the listening people, who then said, 'We shall do everything that Yahweh has said; we shall obey.' Moses than took the blood and sprinkled it over the people saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant which Yahweh has made with you, entailing all these stipulations.'

(5) Hebrews 9: 11-15

    But now Christ has come, as the high priest of all the blessings which were to come. He has passed through the greater, the more perfect tent, not made by human hands, that is, not of this created order; and he has entered the sanctuary once and for all, taking with him not the blood of goats and bull calves, but his own blood, having won an eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkled on those who have incurred defilement, may restore their bodily purity. How much more will the blood of Christ, who offered himself, blameless as he was, to God through the eternal Spirit, purify our conscience from dead actions so that we can worship the living God.

Christ seals the new covenant with his blood

This makes him the mediator of a new covenant, so that, now that a death has occurred to redeem the sins committed under an earlier covenant, those who have been called to an eternal inheritance may receive the promise.

(6) 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
