Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Sorrowful Mysteries 

R. Jesus requested part of a tape on Fatima be shown.

Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. - October 13, 1917

As the Lady was about to leave, she pointed to the sun. Lucy excitedly repeated the gesture, and the people looked into the sky. The rain had ceased, the clouds parted, and the sun shone forth, but not in its usual brilliance. Instead, it appeared like a silver disc, pale as the moon, at which all could gaze without straining their eyes. Suddenly, impelled by some mysterious force, the disc began to whirl in the sky, casting off great shafts of multicolored light. Red, green, blue, yellow, violet — the enormous rays shot across the sky at all angles, lighting up the entire countryside for many miles around, but particularly the upturned faces of those 70,000 spellbound people.

After a few moments the wonder stopped, but resumed again a second and a third time — three times in all — within about 12 minutes. It seemed that the whole world was on fire, with the sun spinning at a greater speed each time.

Then a gasp of terror rose from the crowd, for the sun seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come crashing down upon the horrified multitude.... Just when it seemed that the ball of fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the sun resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as ever.

When the people arose from the ground, cries of astonishment were heard on all sides. Their clothes, which had been soaking wet and muddy, now were clean and dry. Many of the sick and crippled had been cured of their afflictions.2

2. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to Our Lady of Fatima’s Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983) pp.7-8.

A special message for you today from Jesus and Mary

Jesus: I call out to you My children of Light, My children of the world. For I love you with the greatest love. Will you spread the love to all My little ones, all the children that Mary loves so much.

Mary: I appear as Our Lady of Light to take the children to the Heart of my Son. You are sinful in your ways and you do not ask for forgiveness for your sins. You do not appreciate the gifts God gave to man and my Immaculate Heart. God gave you this gift to become ever closer to Him. Despite the fall of Adam and Eve, you oh sinful children, can become so intimately united to God through my Immaculate Heart. Oh please put aside your fears and put your trust in God. The devil wants you to stop the work you do to tell the world about our Two Hearts. You must be strong. I am the Immaculate Heart. I am the Ark of the Covenant. I am the Ark by which you will sail deeply into the Heart of Christ, my Beloved Son Jesus, the Savior of the world. I show you my Immaculate Heart, the way to go into the depth of the Heart of my Son. I appear and show you my heart pierced with a sword each day for fourteen months and I cry out to you of my lost children. I have allowed you to suffer my pain under the cross, the pain for the children that do not know their Mother. You must reach the children with the rosary and the consecration cards. You must act now for the time is nigh. The Father is displeased with the earth. I am your Mother. I am appearing and crying bloody tears for the men that are haughty, that are arrogant, that are willful and will be lost. Oh come my little children to my Immaculate Heart. It is there you will learn to be pure. It is there you will be sanctified through the Holy Spirit. I am the Lady of Light, the Lady picked by the Father to bring the children in sin to be united in a deep union with God. I am the sinless one that the Father sent, your Mother, the Mother of the human race, the Mother that stood beneath the cross, the Ark by which you would be saved. And I cry bloody tears today. This my special feast of my Immaculate Heart. For you are willful, willful and disobedient to God’s commands. I ask you, I beg you to continue all the work my Son, Jesus has asked you to do in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Father Carter is my priest-son to help lead the priests to the Heart of My Son. I guard and cherish him, my beloved son, my priest, my precious son. You must be strong, my son, for the fallen angel has targeted you. But I am guarding you and spreading my mantle on you. (What is so beautiful is that every time I have seen Fr. Carter, he just smells of roses. And one day it lasted for 2 hours. It was so strong. But I know that Our Lady is immensely guarding him because of his role with the priests to lead them to the Heart of her Son.) You must, my beloved shepherds, continue to pray every hour on the hour for him. Do not fear. That is satan. Work hard to accomplish all the Father has asked you to do. I am crushing the head of the serpent. You must constantly make the act of consecration of your hearts to my heart, my Immaculate Heart and the Heart of my Son. I crush the head of the serpent. I love you. I am the Immaculate Conception. (And then she added this. This is for you here.) You have been chosen for this mission, my beloved Toledo. Will you help me? I am Mary, your Mother. You are my core chapter here for the Shepherds of Christ, the chosen ones, of my Son, Jesus.

Song: Immaculate Mary

 

The Agony in the Garden

R. Jesus wants us to pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus. We are more one with Him.

Galatians 2: 19-20

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.

1. Hail Mary

2. R. Let us go deeply within ourselves and to try to focus totally on our heart. Let us go to the inner chamber of the Heart of Christ. See the red, the interior of His Heart. Feel the warmth and know that it is there, that we’re abundantly loved and we are protected by God Himself. No matter how the wind blows, or what may seem to be bothering us, in our lives, that this really is our refuge.

3. R. And how can I, a sinner, go deeply into the Heart of Christ? For in order to unite to God, I must be pure. And this is the great gift that God gives to us by giving us Mary and her Immaculate Heart. For as we give ourselves to Mary and we dwell in her heart then we can unite in Jesus’ Heart because Mary is all pure. And so in this rosary, we give our heart to Mary and we give our heart to Jesus. And we meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary as we walk the passion.

4. R. How is it when we feel panicky? How does it feel when it seems like everything is going wrong on the outside. How does it feel? It doesn’t feel good. But there is this place within, always within, when we have given our heart to Jesus and Mary and we are in the state of grace, no matter what we think. God is there if we call on Him. If we tell God that we are sorry, we can go to the heart of Mary and we can dwell deeply within the Heart of Jesus. This is such a great gift. So our life may seem confused on the outside and the money problems may be strong, the children are angry, some of them do not go to church. So many things press down each and every day. But in the moments of the silence, we can go within ourselves. We can give ourselves to Mary and no matter how we think that we have wronged others or what we have done, God is there waiting to forgive us. We go to her Immaculate Heart, we can go deeply into the Heart of Christ. This is the great gift that we are given on this earth for how in our sinfulness could we unite to God? There is Purgatory, to help purify us so that we can get to Heaven and be united to God. But our little Heaven here on earth is dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary no matter where I am, I can always go to Their Hearts. Let go of all of the cares and surrender and take refuge within His Heart.

5. Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart

6. R. And we see Jesus in the garden. We see Him in such anguish. Be within the Heart of Jesus and think Jesus knew all of the sufferings that He would undergo. He knew all of the souls that would be lost despite all of His suffering and He knew the great love that He had for those souls. And He knew that some souls would go to hell, forever, and He sweat blood.

7. R. Think of how we feel so many times when we feel that we know and we love Jesus so much and we know so many things because He has given us a great grace to see and to know Him. And we look around and we do not understand why others do not love Jesus so much and we want them to, and we feel frustrated and we hurt inside because we know God loves them and wants their love and they don’t even think of Him. Think of that little frustration that we feel sometimes, it is great suffering really, its not a little frustration. It’s great suffering for me to know God and to love Him and to want to spread this love to others. But think, in His Divine knowing, in His Divine loving, of His anguish in the garden, to know the souls and all their sins, and all their vileness and how they would reject God and choose such senseless pleasures, so many ordinary things to His Divine love and Jesus, sweat blood in the garden.

8. R. Has the anguish ever been so great that you cried out and it felt as if you would buckle over in pain? And so it felt many times, maybe, as if you would almost sweat blood. But the blood did not come. Think of the anguish of our Divine Lord that He actually did, sweat blood.

9. R. The blood that Jesus sweat, for our precious souls. So precious are our souls to Jesus that He gave Himself to His death on the cross.

10. R. Do we realize how precious, we truly are? That the Almighty God loved us so much, that He gave Himself for us. Do we treasure ourselves as gifts from God? Do we treat our self, as His precious gift? Do we know how much He truly loves us?

R. There were three visits from the angel that preceded the apparitions of Mary at Fatima. The third visit from the angel:

Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

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

5. Our Lady’s Peace Plan, op cit., p.2. (The words in brackets are my ownadded for clarification).

Song: I Love You Jesus

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

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

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

6. Fatima in Lucia’s Own Words, op cit., pp.64-65.

2. R. A person told me a week ago that three months on the 13th of August before October 13th, 1996 when Jesus started giving messages for the completion of the Fatima message, that two people on the Farm on August 13th had apparitions from angels.

3. R. And so these were placed in the Apostles Manual because that is what Fr. Carter told us to do. But on August 13th this is what one woman saw:

Vision as seen by another person, 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.

4. R. Mary came in all of these apparitions to lead people to the Eucharistic Heart of her Son. We see how the angel speaks before Fatima, of the Eucharist. This is a main mission in the Shepherds of Christ Movement in the letters that Jesus speaks to us that we must honor Him and love Him and give Him the respect that is due to Him in the Holy Eucharist.

5. R. On First Saturday, its says specifically by the request of Our Lady that we are to make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Especially Eucharistic reparation. Think of what goes on at Church, at Mass. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present. And in uniting in that oneness with the priest, with Christ, we offer ourselves to the Father. And that, at this time, we should tell God that we are sorry for our sins. We should tell Him at the Lamb of God when we beg, Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us: Lamb of God! We should get down on our knees and prostrate ourselves and beg God for we are praying not only for our own sins, but, the sins of all men. As a sinful race, we are telling God how sorry we are. But what is happening at the Mass? Are we making reparation as God wants us to do in this Holy Sacrifice? Or are we not even aware of the fact that the Almighty God is present? Or are we not even aware many times that we are sinners and that we must tell God that we are sorry? How greatly this offends our Beloved Jesus when He gives Himself to us in the most intimate act of love. God, the Almighty God, giving Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist and we do not even talk to Him. And we go from the Church and do not spend time, with the Almighty God.

6. R. I was struck last week by the festival and all of the activity and the drinking of beer and the gambling. And I was very hurt within my heart for at the Tuesday adoration there are so few souls that come to tell God of their immense love, when Jesus is exposed in the Monstrance.

7. R. It is so clear to me and it hurts so much to love God so much to know His presence, to be in awe, to fall to the ground and to cry, to know that God is truly present there, and He is not adored and honored and loved as He should be. Our Beloved God, who remains with us, truly present in the Holy Eucharist.

8. R. And so they beat our Beloved Savior at the pillar and He suffered. We do not even know a little bit the immensity of being beaten with whips. Think of yourself now as being tied to the pillar and think of what it would be like to be hit and to bleed and to suffer and then after you are hit and you are suffering, for them to continue to hit you on the same places. But He suffered for all of us. He suffered so much for the sins of the flesh. For they beat His Body. And He wanted to give this message, the message to the world, “I love you, no matter what your sins, I love you. I forgive you when you come to Me and tell Me you are sorry. And I give you My love. I give to you My Body and My Blood.” We have the sacrament of Confession for mortal sins.

9. R. We are bound, we are limited. We do not comprehend the ways of God but He is teaching us His ways. And the more He teaches, the more we want to know for it is that which satisfies our starved soul, that I am so grateful to Him for all of the teachings that He has given to me, for how He has opened Himself up and He has let me know Him, know Him in this special way. I know that this is a great gift that He has given and that many men in the new era to come will know Him with this immense love. But this is a great gift He gives to us right now. A great grace when we read the Blue Book messages and we cry. It is a mystical experience that He gives to us to experience His love in a special way. Jesus is indeed giving us great gifts right now. He allows us many times to suffer and to go through a lot of turmoil because of the work that we are doing. But think of how it would be to live like a little on the surface relationship with Him, thinking that He’s somewhere out there, being all alone and isolated in your heart, knowing that God is there, then He’s there, but not really knowing Him like you know Him now. I know Him now immensely and it is because of the great grace He has given from praying these prayers in the Shepherds of Christ prayer book. He promised that to Fr. Carter that when people join the chapters and they pray those prayers, that they would receive a great grace to be drawn ever closer to His Heart and Mary’s heart. And I have watched it happen for all of the members in our prayer group since 1994. I have watched them, I have watched their relationship with Jesus grow so immensely.

10. R. And it is because of the love letters that He has given. It is because of immensely sitting in front of the tabernacle, going to the Mass and the Eucharist with great fervor and daily that He has given great grace to me to be joined ever closer to His Heart. And I am very, very, very grateful for the grace that He gives when I go to the Eucharist. It is what my heart craves and wants and longs for. Jesus, we thank you for these graces that You have given to us and if we have offended You by our ingratitude or we have not thanked You properly, if we have not adored You and praised You and told You of our love, we are very sorry and we want to tell You now, thank You. Thank You for all the gifts that You have given to us and we love You with all our heart.

Song: Little Child

 

The Crowning with Thorns

l. Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and I cried. I cried for my little lost children. The children that I love so and that I knew would lose their soul. I am Mary, your Mother, and I have come to you, my beloved Toledo. I have come to you to ask you to lead my little children to the Heart of my Son through the consecration.

2. Mary: This too, is a special area for the completion of the Fatima message. I have formed this core group in this area to help accomplish this mission. You have been given the greatest grace to respond and you have responded. Do not be afraid. Come, come to my heart and I will place you in the Heart of my Son. I am Mary, I have come to you this day, my beloved Toledo, that you will help to spread the Shepherds of Christ Movement for my priest son, Fr. Carter. He is the leader and founder of this Movement, for my Son, Jesus. Will you respond to the call that Jesus has made to you through him? The times of trial will be great and many and you will suffer. But in the suffering you will be drawn ever closer to the Heart of my Son. You will live more and more as a child of God, more in His image and likeness. It is through the suffering that I am touching your heart. My little children do not be afraid for my Son is with you at every moment. You are doing His work and helping in the completion of the Fatima Plan, the completion of the Plan of my Father.

3. R. Mary is the Mother chosen by the Father to be the Mother of the whole human race. As the Father chooses a prophet, as the Father chooses a person to do His work, He also has chosen Mary to be Jesus’ Mother and the Mother of all of us. And so, as she says, “I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried.” It is the tears of Mary, it is the sorrow that we too feel in our heart for there is such an intimate connection between a child and their mother. But how much more our Mother Mary loves us for she is the all-holy, Immaculate Heart that the Father has chosen to love us as our Mother.

4. R. And Jesus’ head was crowned with piercing thorns. But to speak of this is not to feel it, to experience the pressing down of the thorns ourselves. But He has allowed us to suffer greatly. Many of us with mental torment many times in the middle of the night when we wake and we are worried about our children and our funds and our houses and our job. When we try over and over again to do His work and we are persecuted at work and we are stopped in our churches when we try to go to them and to get them to let us have Eucharistic adoration. Many times we wake in the night and we are pressed on. We are mentally tormented many times and what does Jesus say to us?

5. R. The dark hours, the hours of darkness are the hours that we can be closest to Jesus. For Jesus says He calls us in those dark hours when we are not distracted by other things in our lives. And many times He wakes us in the middle of the night and it is then that the devil begins immediately to try to create concerns and anxieties in our minds. And Jesus says that He wants us to go to His Heart, to take refuge in His Heart, to go to the red room, to put aside all of the fear that is in our heart and to just go and to be with Him. This takes discipline of our will, it takes faith, it takes letting go. When things seem like they are pressing in on us we must recall Jesus and we must see Him with the thorns pressing deep into His head. And this is how it seems many times for we are pressed on in our mind and in our thoughts. And we are feeling within that we should act or we should be impulsive. And we must see this picture of Jesus’ face with blood trickling down His face with thorns pressing inward penetrating  His precious skin and know that He did not act. Look at Him. Do you see Him now as He sits there? Do you see Him? He lets them spit on Him. He let them poke at Him. He sat there, He let them mock Him and call Him a King when in fact, He, the Almighty God, could have at any second, stopped them in their place. But He did not act. He sat there and He withstood the suffering and what happened? Jesus is our Savior. Jesus looked like a man beaten. Jesus looked like a man bloodied and wounded. He suffered for our sins. Je sus is our Savior. Jesus gives us the Church. God gives us a sharing in His life in baptism. Jesus is the Bread of Life.

6. R. We know that we can look at Jesus and we can see Him and we can study how He was. He withstood the suffering. He withstood it. Jesus suffered for our sins. We know that our Mother walks by our side, that she holds our hand, that forever in Their Hearts for this truly is our place of refuge.

7. R. I like the dark hours of the night when Jesus wakes me and I can just be with Him and there is nothing in the world that  distract me or nothing that I have to do. Think of the great grace that He has given to us that we realize that when we are in the state of grace that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us in a special way and we are not alone. So if we wake and we are feeling afraid, we know that God dwells in our graced baptized soul. We know too, if the devil starts to tempt us, we don’t have to listen to the devil. Pray for grace. Say “I give myself to Mary. I go to your Immaculate Heart.” We can pray to be forgiven for our sins, the devil tries to tell us we should not pray for forgiveness. We are too bad. The devil is a liar.

8. R. And so Jesus sweat blood in the garden and so Jesus’ Body was torn and ripped at the pillar and now we see Him as He sits on a mock throne. How awful to mock someone. Think of them mocking the King of all Kings. And now we see the blood come from His precious skull. Do we believe that Jesus loves us? He loves us so much He suffered and died for our sins.

9. R. It is hard many times to believe that people really love us. It is hard many times and we do not even believe that God loves us as we should. Jesus has written these messages in God’s Blue Book that we will open them and that we will hear Him speak of His love to us.

10. R. It makes me feel so good inside when someone tells me that they love me, when someone does something very special for me. Think of how it is that we are so special and so precious to God that He came, that He gave His flesh, thatHe gave His Blood, that He allowed them to pound His head with thorns. He gave His Blood for me.

Song: Come Holy Spirit

 

The Carrying of the Cross

l. R. Many times we are upset because we feel we are unloved or we feel that we are rejected. God gives to us this special Apostles Manual and He wants us to read it and to study it. For it is a great gift that He has given and it is very profound in its revelation for the future generations to come. He has asked me to read this entry from a rosary on September 10th, 1996. This is what He wants to speak to you:

Excerpt from September 10, 1996 Rosary

Jesus: My sweet one, I waited for you day and night. I waited for you to come. I waited for you and you did not come, and My Heart was in such anguish for I knew the sorrow within your heart, and I knew that I could comfort you and I could make you feel full of love in your heart, but you refused to come. You went to the world. You went to your friends. You went every place, but you did not come to Me and I waited. I watched you in your struggle. I watched you go from place to place searching, searching for that, that would fill your starved soul, and you did not find what you wanted, but I waited, and I hoped, and I gave you the grace, but you continued. I waited for you. I am waiting for you now. I am waiting for you in this rosary to open your heart, to let Me come into your heart, and to penetrate your soul. I want to give you My Divine love. I want to be so close to you. Let go, My sweet, sweet, sweet one, for in this rosary I will give you great gifts. I will give you My undying love.  end of excerpt

2. Hail Mary

3. Mary’s Message - from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary: 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.   end of Mary’s Message

4. Excerpt from December 19, 1996 - Received in a few minutes after Communion - St. Gertrude Church

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.  end of excerpt

5. Song: I Rocked Him as a Baby

6. R. When we go to confession our souls are made clean and we can unite in deepest union with Jesus.

Anger is an energy. God gives us energy to do good. Passion to love for Jesus. Anger is energy that can tear apart.

Jesus: Leaders in the Movement must pray one hour before the tabernacle daily. If you do not, satan will work on the weakest link and create great problems in the Movement. No one is exempt. I am telling you once and for all, your Movement is a movement of love. There is division among you. You will not proceed ahead as I wish with such divided hearts.

7. Hail Mary

8. Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary

R. See the eyes of Mary as she looks into the eyes of Jesus on the way to Calvary and she sees the precious face of Jesus covered with blood and His head crowned with thorns. And see Jesus as He looks into the eyes of Mary. Jesus sees her red teary eyed face. This is the love of the Two Hearts for us. Now we must think of this every time that satan tries to attack us by feeling that we are unloved. We must go and dwell in these Hearts of love, and meditate more fully on the mysteries of Their lives so we can act more and more like Them. I see Jesus with the cross on His back and when the cross is on my back I want to take it off because it hurts and it bears down and it is very hard to walk. But Jesus showed us the way. There is joy and there is suffering. And when He is giving us a cross and it is the Father’s Will that we carry it, there is much grace that we can receive for doing as He is asking us to do.

9. Hail Mary

10. R. Father Carter has a book and its called “The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje”. It is in studying these messages of Fatima that it will keep us on track and focusing. For we realize that this is accepted by the Church and Mary said these things 80 years ago. They are strong messages. Mary says in here, “I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord anymore for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the rosary. Let them continue saying it everyday.” Think of how many people do not even know what a rosary is.

Song: A Song from Jesus

 

The Death of Jesus

1. R. This is from the Mass Book.

Excerpt from December 26, 1996 - Union With Jesus

In the Mass, the priest says, “As we prepare to celebrate the mystery of Christ’s love, let us acknowledge our failures and ask the Lord for pardon and strength.”

I love this part, when he says, “…prepare to celebrate the mystery of Christ’s love…”

To me this is the greatest act of love. Oh, my heart burns to share this great act of love with my Divine God. I love Him. I love Him. I love Him, and I love the Mass. It is the greatest expression of His love for us. God gives Himself to man in the Mass. end of excerpt

2. R. What is love, but the gift of self to the other. And God shows us for He carried the cross on His back and He mounted the cross, and they pounded into His hands and into His feet the nails that went all the way through to the wooden cross. And Jesus hung there for three agonizing hours to His death.

3. R. And so we look around and we see that the world is not like us with the pain killers and all of those things that are there to stimulate our pleasures and to make us feel good. But it comes in praying the rosary everyday and in meditating on the mysteries of the rosary. We see how Jesus and Mary lived Their life and it puts into perspective how we too are expected to live our lives.

4. R. It is in the act of giving ourselves that He gives Himself to us in the greatest intimacy. For the more that we die to ourselves the more we become one in Him. And what else is there? The greatest is being united to Him in Holy Love.

5. R. Jesus held nothing back. Jesus came into this world in great poverty, Jesus is the Almighty God. Jesus took on human flesh and He mounted the cross. Jesus allowed them to beat His body, crown Him with thorns and hang Him on a cross. And in the end Jesus gave His Body and His Blood for me.

6. Jesus: And so I say to you, My beloved Shepherds, to treasure yourselves for you are a great gift to this world. I am working in your heart and giving to you the greatest grace to carry out the work that the Father has given to you. Be strong soldiers in this godless world. For I have called you. You do not understand how important you are. You are small in number, but as My Might works through you, you will accomplish great things. For millions of souls will be affected by the acts that you perform this day. You must not give in to satan. You must come to Me and take refuge in My Sacred Heart. I am waiting for you with My burning love.

Even when you are taunted you must continue to pray for it is in great suffering and prayer that you receive great grace. Know that when you are attending Mass and you are suffering much that you will receive much grace, if you continue to tell Me how much, you love Me and you try to participate. I allow you to struggle in your prayers and I allow you to be taunted. You must not give in. You are receiving great grace when you are in suffering and when you are struggling, when you give your struggles to Me and you continue to love.

7. R. Do you see Jesus hang on the cross? Do you see the great suffering that He is undergoing? Jesus is our Savior. Jesus shed His Blood that we would live in Him. What a most precious gift Jesus gives to us and what honor He gives to us that we are worth Him shedding His Blood for us.

8. And so Mary speaks: I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried.

R. For she cried for the little ones that would be lost despite the suffering of her Beloved Son. And so when she appeared everyday for fourteen months, her cry was to reach her little children. And she is giving us a great, great help by loving us and protecting us as our Mother to do the work that the Father is asking us to do.

Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried. For I appear, I appear, I appear and I am ignored.

9. Song: I Rocked Him as a Baby

10. Song: Oh Holy Dwelling Place of God

R. Mary is the Mother, that God the Father chose, to be our Mother. Mary stood beneath the cross of her Son and Mary cried for her lost children and Mary appeared over and over and over again and she was ignored. Mary is the sinless one, the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It is through Mary’s heart that we will go deeply into the Heart of her Son. We are brought forth children of Light in the womb of the Lady clothed with the sun with the permeating action of the Holy Spirit within her womb. We are constantly in a state of becoming more and more like Him. We must be gentle with ourselves and loving with ourselves. Loving of God and loving of one another. For our role is to love, to try to be more and more like Him.

Jesus: For you were created in My image and likeness. My little children of Light, I bid you this day to go to the heart of your Mother, Mary and she will take you to the deepest recesses of My Heart. I am waiting to bathe you in My precious love. Do not be afraid. Be filled with hope and joy. I am asking you to help to spread the Priestly Newsletters to the priests. I am asking you to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers whenever you can from 10-16 at the hours of 3, 12, 6 & 9. I will protect you in a special way with My precious Blood. My beloved ones, these are the prayers that I give to you to help the priests to become holy priests and to renew the Church and the world. It is your Father that has asked you to pray the prayers, to start the prayer chapters and to spread the Priestly Newsletter. The tools that We give to you will help to renew the Church and the world. It is through this grace from the prayers that many priests will receive the help that they need and that their hearts will be turned to holy hearts through the Consecration and the Priestly Newsletter. I am Jesus, your Beloved Savior. I love you with the most tender love. Do not be afraid. Come to Me in the darkest night and take refuge in My Sacred Heart.

Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart

R. This is indeed a great feast, the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary!

I want to read the little part that was just to Toledo again.

Mary: You have been chosen for this mission my beloved Toledo. Will you help me? I am Mary, your Mother. You are my core chapter here for the Shepherds of Christ, the chosen ones of my Son, Jesus.

Song: Immaculate Mary

                (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.’

                (1) Jesus was tied to the pillar –
                    Think of men enslaved to bad

                    Like enslaved to bad habits,
                        of anger, pride, jealousy,
                        envy, slothfulness, lust,
                        greed, gluttony –

                (2) R. Oh God, please break the chains

                    from doing Your will –
                    and these chains are the chains
                    of our own will opposed to You –

                    our sins –
                    we ask to be forgiven and
                    we pray for the human race
                    that has offended You with
                    their sins –
                    Oh God - help us please –

                (4) R. See Jesus now at the pillar –
                    See Jesus tied
                    See the men beating Him and
                        laughing –
                    See the men tearing His flesh
                        and laughing –
                    Hurting Jesus' body –

                (5) R. Think of how we offend
                    Jesus with our sins –

                    we are sorry for our
                    sins and the sins of the human race –

                (6) R. Oh God, we are sorry for how we
                    made You suffer –
                    Oh God - we are sorry and we
                    want to help make reparation
                    for our sins and the sins
                    of the world –

                (7) R. Oh God, we pray for healing for
                    ourselves –
                    healing in body, mind and
                    soul – for all of us –
                    Oh God, outpour Your
                    grace of healing to us – to the Church
                    and to the whole world –

                (8) R. See Jesus now being whipped at
                    the pillar –
                    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 –

                (10) R. We pray to tell God we thank Him
                    for all He gave to us –
                    We thank Jesus for suffering
                    for our sins –
                    We are sorry God –
                    Oh God hear our prayer –
                    We spread the Blood of Jesus on
                        this place, on the Church,
                        on our families and on the
                        whole world –

                We pray for Dan and Melanie, Margaret and Sonny,
                    Jack, Matthew, all the people
                    we have been praying for –

                Oh God, help us and hear our prayers,
                    please God –

                The Crowning with Thorns

                (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.

                R. We pray all prayers to the Father,
                in union with Jesus in the Holy
                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               

                This is from the Rosary
                    March 5, 2015
                    transcribed from a live
                    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.

                    Eucharist in China.
 

 

                (6) Sing: Taste and See

                (7) Sing: I Love You Jesus

                (8) Sing: Your Presence Pervades My Soul

                (9) Sing: Refrain  "I am the Bread of Life"

                (10) 2 Corinthians 5: 17-21

So for anyone who is in Christ, there is a new creation: the old order is gone and a new being is there to see. It is all God's work; he reconciled us to himself through Christ and he gave us the ministry of reconciliation. I mean, God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not holding anyone's faults against them, but entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

    So we are ambassadors for Christ; it is as though God were urging you through us, and in the name of Christ we appeal to you to be reconciled to God. For our sake he made the sinless one a victim for sin, so that in him we might become the uprightness of God.

 

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.’

(2) Sing: China Song

(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

(7) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Opening Prayer

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dear Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus, in union with Him in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit. We come to You united to the Child Jesus of Good Health and the Infant of Prague. We come to You in the perfect, sinless heart of Our Mother Mary, asking her powerful intercession, uniting ourselves to her holy tears. We come to You united to all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory.

(8) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Prayer for Holy Spirit

We pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on us, to be baptized by the Holy Spirit, that He will descend mightily on us as He did on the Apostles at Pentecost. That the Holy Spirit will transform us from fear to fearlessness and that He will give us courage to do all the Father is asking of us to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. We pray for the Holy Spirit to descend mightily on the Jesuits and the Poor Clares on the Shepherds of Christ leaders and members and on the whole Body of Christ and the world.

(9) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Protection by the Blood of Jesus

We pray that the Blood of Jesus will be spread on us, everyone in our families, and the Shepherds of Christ Movement, that we will be able to move steadfastly ahead and be protected from the evil one.

(10) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Healing

We pray for healing in body, mind, and soul and generational healing in ourselves, in all members in our families, and in all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, the Jesuit Community, the Poor Clares, the Body of Christ, and the world.
