                March 31, 2016 - Easter Thursday

                R. We must learn to control our actions so they
                are the actions that are directed to our eternal
                happiness, so they are actions rooted in
                right reasoning We have a free will. We must
                want what is a good action, an action for
                good as the heavenly Father wants us to act.

                    Does it not make sense to us that bad
                habits of envy, jealousy, pride – rooted in
                anger, out of the order God wants will
                lead a man to unhappiness and results that
                cause the man and others suffering.

                    God create us in His image and likeness.

                    Baptism gives to us a sharing in His life.
                We can know and love on a supernatural level
                with the gift of God's grace and from baptism,
                but we must want, with all our hearts to
                surrender to do our actions according
                to God's will – God's plan and in love of
                God and love of our neighbor as ourselves.
                The 10 Commandments are clear – the greatest
                commandment commands that we love –
                that we act according to God's will not give
                into our selfish, self will - opposing
                God's will –

                    In the Blue Book II Jesus told us He wanted On-Fire-Love.
                He did not want us being in a numb state and
                throwing our prayers like little words bouncing
                off. He wanted us to have passions of love
                behind our prayer we give to Him.

                    We see this passionate, pure love God gave
                to us in the Passion. Jesus knew all He would
                suffer and He willingly endured all He endured
                for love of us – He took the cross laden with
                the sins of the world – He was not sterile,
                dry and inactive in showing us His passionate
                love for us.

                Jesus showed us – He gave His all for love of us –
                Jesus endured the lashes for our sins –
                Jesus laid down His life for us –
                We see the beautiful reading of the Good Shepherd at
                the beginning of every one of Fr. Carter's Newsletters –
                We see Jesus profess His undaunted love for us
                in Blue Book II, but we must give Him our heart
                in love if we want to know His love
                passionately – It is love – love gives – I trust
                Him – I seek Him – I give myself to Him –
                I abandon myself to His will – I am passionate
                about the love in my heart for God –

                    God calls us to commit in our vocation –
                to know God more and more deeply by
                being free to give Him what He wants –
                but we must not be afraid to trust Jesus –
                to give of our hearts to others we trust
                and taste the life God wants us to know –
                Life is being alive –
                Life is trusting with our heart –

                Here is a scripture Jesus told me to put in
                the Holy Spirit Novena –

1 John 4: 17-21

Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.

 

                R. Love – giving – letting go – involves passion –
                involves trust –

                Many times if we were really wounded we
                    shut down the ability to trust and
                    to feel.

                In the Blue Books God calls us to give love
                    to Him, but to know how He loves
                    us.
 


 

                R. Jesus shows us His Heart – Look at this picture
                Fr. Carter said led him to follow his vocation and to
                give his life in service to God. Fr. Carter had such
                a devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. When I was
                growing up – we had pictures of the Sacred Heart on
                our calendars. When my mom died and I first
                went to communion – everybody had their real
                moms but me – I knew my mom was in
                heaven and I had to focus on Jesus –
                I knew there was a heaven and Jesus loved my
                mom so much – they told me – He took her home.

                That is what we must focus on – Jesus loves us
                so much – no matter what we have been
                through – we must let go and trust Him –
                trust His will for us, but we see love is
                suffering – Jesus shows us His Heart in Fr. Carter's
                picture of Jesus and it has the wound in it –
                plainly in view –

                    Through His pierced Heart the Church was
                born. Water for baptism and blood for the
                Eucharist –

                    Jesus paid a big price for our salvation –
                He came – He took flesh – He was born
                in poverty – He gave His all so we could
                know His love.

                    He gives us baptism – we know the gifts
                of this – the sharing in His life – the elevated
                knowing and loving capacity – the Father, Son, and
                Holy Spirit dwelling in the graced, baptized soul –

                    No matter what our wounds we know
                how Jesus loved us to His death on the cross.

                    He laid down His life for us. He gave Himself
                willingly – to the Father's will –

                    Remember the Gospel on Emmaus –
                They were on a journey with Jesus to know
                Him – He told them His story – He told them
                the Word and when they sat down He
                broke the bread –

                    We have the Bread of Life – the Word
                and the Eucharist. Jesus gives us Himself
                in love – Why wouldn't we trust Jesus –
                We are not alone –

                Jesus gives us these Blue Book Messages to know
                His love –

                How many people are lost, hurting in wounds
                because they do not really trust Jesus –
                nor trust others God has sent to us to
                trust in our vocation – to work with –
                because others may have wounded us –
                Jesus is giving to us today –

                    We have to seek His will and let
                Him lead us and trust Him and commit
                to what He is asking us to do.

                    It's not black or white. We may have
                suffered before very much, but we
                can't close down our hearts – we
                need to embrace the plan of the Sacred Heart
                of Jesus – to love passionately Jesus and
                to live and trust those Jesus has put
                in our path – in our vocation – to lead
                us to eternal happiness in heaven –

                    Jesus is at work in our lives, but we
                must seek the Father's will and live
                in love –

                    Love is giving –

                    Love is trusting

                God commands us to love –

Matthew 22: 36-40

'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'

 

                R. To love means we must let go
                    to God –

                We must learn trust – to trust God and
                    those God has chosen to help us
                    in our vocation – to work with
                    us –

                Fr. Carter was such a gift to us – I could not
                    ever thank God for His gift –
                    God has put others in our lives to
                    help us – to teach us – to help us
                    pray – but we must let go to
                    God's will – in that lies our
                    happiness

                Jesus says

                    "I am alive, I am alive,
                        I am alive"

                Trust God and His plan for your
                    spiritual life

                God is good –

                Be a witness before others how
                    the Blue Books and Shepherds of Christ
                    have helped you in your life –

                God is trying to reach the world
                    with the love of His Sacred Heart in
                    this Movement –

                This is a message for the wounded
                    world –
                    If you hold back – who will He
                        send.

                Jesus: Open your heart to My love.
 

Love Is Action From the Heart

March 5, 1994 8:00 p.m.

Note: When I received this message He was full of fire. His picture was glowing and His face was beautiful. He was lifelike, His face completely different from the one in the picture.

Jesus: I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am ablaze with love for all. I am Jesus, the Son of God. Come and bow low, bend your knee, for I am the Son of God. Worship Me. Adore Me. Honor Me. Preach, preach My love to all. I am afire with this love. I am on fire.

I am the Son of God. See Me with the brightest light on fire for My beloved ones. I am on fire. I am Jesus, the Son of God. My heart is a burning flame, My love abounds. From the ends of the earth shout My endless love. Do not lose minutes to preach My words here. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am on fire. I am alive. I am lighted up for you. Look into My eyes and behold Jesus, the Son of God. You will provide a team to bring all back to this burning fire that is in My heart for love of all My beloved ones. Do not tarry for I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus on fire this very day for the love of all My beloved ones.

I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I talk to you now. Preach My urgency. I am begging you to get this message out to all. I am begging you, My little ones. You must comply with Me now. Praise My name, worship Me, I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

By your example you teach the mightiest lessons. As you are in your heart is how you are in this world. If you busy yourself about our love affair, all works for the greater glory of God. If you spend time with Me in union, you preach the gospel in your being. If I live in your heart and you live in Me, then I am He Who operates from your very soul.

Oh, what a joy to your brothers to behold the love of Jesus being taught through your actions. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I want to operate from your very being. This is your gift to this world, to be so united in Jesus that you preach His word through your being.

Oh, so simple, you say? One thing that pleases Me is your union with Me, the ardent, longing love you give to Me. To sit and tell Me how you long to be with Me and want Me so much! I want a love affair with you. I want emotion, heartfelt emotion.

I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am a burning fire, a furnace of love. Come to Me with longing.

I am not a little, inactive love. I am on fire for love of My beloved ones. Preach emotion, heartfelt love. I gave My life. How much emotion is that? To lay down My life for love of you!

I am a fire of love. I want emotion. I want them to know how I long for them. How I wait, a prisoner in the tabernacle waiting for My beloved ones!

I want action, action from the heart, not to talk about the love of God and, "Oh, He loves you," but to say, " He is alive, He is on fire, He longs, He cries out to you to come and love Him"!

Preach emotion. People are thirsty from the depth of their souls for this emotion. They are begging to be fed.

My love is fire. It is alive. Talk about My love. Give them the strong emotion I feel for them. This world is numb in its feelings.This world is not alive. It is hard and cold. You must start a fire burning in their hearts. When they come to Me in Communion, their hearts are skipping beats with excitement to receive God, truly God-the one, true, magnificent God-made-man-in Jesus Christ.

How much love and emotion do you think it took the Son of God to be born a mere human on this earth? How much emotion to suffer a brutal death for love of you? This is My life: to be born a human, to die a brutal death, to resurrect into new life on the third day. Is this what the little mimicking mouths that come say, in a monotone, about the love of God?

The love of God is active. I, a prisoner, sit this very moment in all the tabernacles in this world out of ardent love for My beloved ones. I, God, sit and wait for your love. Little prayers you pray, half asleep, in a monotone-lip-service! No action from your heart! Look at Me. Look at My life. Action from the heart, the Heart of Jesus.

I want an active relationship with you. I wait for a heart ablaze with ardent love. You sit on the shoreline throwing little words at Me.

Love is embracing, love is entwined, love is vibrant and forceful, love is burning, love is longing, love is wanting, love is thinking about the other and talking about that person at all times. Love is an active force. It is on fire. I am God. The love I have for you is inexpressible in human terms.

You sit and throw words at Me. They are cold. You talk about My love and the love of God as you talk about the rain that is coming down or your dirty socks.

I am God, child. I am the Son of God and I love you. If a lover professed such love to you, would you not run to His waiting arms?

You have a soul that craves this ardent love. You were created for this purpose. Spin your silly wheels and watch them turn and get you nowhere.

I am all you seek. Nothing satisfies the hungry soul but the love of God. Spin your wheels and watch yourself go nowhere. I am He Who fits your soul like the perfect glove. You are he who searches everywhere but in the right place.

Oh, little ones, listen! Emotion! Action from your heart! Enkindle your love affair with this ardent lover. I am a furnace on fire for love of you, My beloved servant. I need your love affair with Me. My love will shine from your very being. Pray this prayer constantly for union with Me. I loved you to My death. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Ready yourself, My children, for I am strengthening you for the days ahead.   end of excerpt
