Messenger: Mary is perfect mother
Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima
by Father Carter, S.J.
Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her (during her illness) by Mary:
More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.
Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much.
Many marriages are not good; they do not please Our Lord and are not of God.
Priests must be pure, very pure. They should not busy themselves with anything except what concerns the Church and souls. The disobedience of priests, to their superiors and to the Holy Father, is very displeasing to Our Lord.
I can no longer restrain the hand of my Divine Son from striking the world with just punishments for its many crimes.
If the government of a country leaves the Church in peace and gives liberty to our Holy Religion, it will be blessed by God.
Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. (19)

Messenger:
Why do many people do the
things they do -- for love.
A child has an imperfect mother -- a human mother
Mary is perfect Mother
God the Father is perfect Father
We need Mary
She mothers us
The Annunciation
Christ came as a baby —
The Son of God born of a
woman the New Eve ——
This is what we meditate on today,
and we meditate on sin.
In my experience with dealing with
some others they lie to themselves
about their faults, they don't take
responsibility for their actions and
then they, after they have clearly
been caught with hands in a
cookie jar, say they didn't
do it and try to blame me for
trying to correct a problem.
In community life amongst, "holy" people
people praying this way, may say — "I don't
want to see myself as doing any wrong
I want to look perfect."
A man had a car wreck and he was
clearly in the wrong. When the police
man came he lied because he didn't
want to be caught. He was wrong. He
didn't tell the truth.
In the beginning of the Bible is the
fall of Adam and Eve — in the end the
bible says there will be no more lies.
Eve clearly disobeyed God — we
are the children of Eve. The devil
tempted her. Eve is our mother from
generations past — Adam our father —
MARY is our spiritual mother
Mary is the New Eve.
Christ is born —
God a perfect baby —
He is sinless —
Mary is sinless —
Some people never look at their
ancestors — they never look at their
parents who taught them attitudes — they
never look at the child of the past — the one
who lives in us today and once the child has
left the house, they have had a major
struggle inside — some do not even
admit they act as a child of the past
many times —
And then say, I don't have to look at
anything from the past. "Eat, drink
and be merry — I am perfect — you are
not"
All of us heaped our sins on the
back of Christ, we have deceived ourselves —
sinned and tried to act like we are perfect.
God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are
one, they live in perfect love.
When people try to get along in
intimate relationships the imperfections
can stick out like daggers piercing the
other and they are very painful.
A person not taking responsibility for
being an imperfect human person and engaging
in a relationship gives the other — one
option — "you will accept me as perfect and
every time I stick you with a dagger —
you will be blamed for your suffering and
I WILL NOT CHANGE — I AM Perfect."
Did you ever see a puzzle — there
can be pointy pieces, but most probably
have rounded curves and when the puzzle
gets put together it fits to form a
beautiful picture.
God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are
one — no rough edges, the
perfect community. No sin, no imperfections.
Our life lived here is to try to be
perfect like our heavenly Father is
perfect. Why do we think we are here.
What if I had an experience that was
bad with you 6 months ago and I am
by the will of God, supposed - to work
with you and your attitude is - you
are perfect, "I do not sin or ever have
any problems", so for 6 months and until
you die, you can carry division in
your soul, block God's work and then go to
Church and say 50 Our Fathers
every day
"Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive
those who trespass against us."
But your inner child of the past, since
your condemning parents, tells you
now
"NO BODY WILL EVER
SHOW YOU AS
ANYTHING LESS THAN
PERFECT!!"
Jesus speaks: So you can block
all My work, call
yourself holy and I spit you out.
How would you have Me forgive
you?
Some people have bad habits and pin
their sins on the backs of others —
I carried those sins, I bled for
your sins and your lies.
Some men are so prideful and never admit
their pride, they lie and step on
others —
The 3 Classes of men —
They work for an ulterior gain —
something for themselves not
doing it for My will.
To be imperfect they cannot tolerate so
no one can tell them anything ever —
They are perfect —
The inner child of the past put away
condemning parents long ago.
I give you Myself in the Eucharist —
I give you Mary as your heavenly Mother —
When you come to Me you see yourself as
perfect, put up a wall and do not
even come in humility asking for
grace to be healed.
You are once again proving to mom and
dad you are perfect and NO parent
tells you nothing now ——
With an attitude like this - in
every relationship - you
are forced to keep your distance, because
your daggers make people close to you
bleed and when things go wrong in interacting
you are perfect and they are imperfect —
you see yourself as sinless — if you have
a bad experience with others you always
lie about your part and then go away
blaming the other, you think you are perfect —
and you do not have to change or grow.
Many people never intend to change. They
go from divorce to divorce wounding
others — leaving a trail of bleeding
people, while they wear a white dress
and see themselves as perfect.
Even a person that has killed in cold
blood may see himself as gentle and
the others as guilty and
When you pray to see your faults and I
give you a glimpse of the big
pieces of furniture in your room —
you cry out —
"I won't look — I can't take it" and
keep on being the little child
repeating the same hurtful
patterns time and time again
with no discipline for yourself.
You are a child without a parent.
The man who may say
"I'm never being under
anyone again. I am in charge.
I will never take orders from anyone.
I am better than any woman. Don't
tell me nothing - EVER - I will
fight more than any battle in the army
to not be told anything I did wrong
by anybody. I may manipulate others,
hurt others, do things my way only" —
Do you know about divorce —
young men and woman getting into
a divorce courts — wounded
soldiers — failing to admit how
the legal rules are hurting
them — wounding others, whoever,
because of the forced separation
A great amount of people are living more
wounds on top of the wounds of
childhood and fail to even own
the pain as they blame others
for what is killing them inside.
Whenever there is a death — someone
must grieve —
What about the pain of divorce
the anger of being betrayed —
the living of your wife or
husband with another man
and having another child —
What about lies said while you
were deceived —
Does the anger come down on everyone
in passive - aggressive ways, projection
because you won't look at it and you
are perfect.
Except from Your Inner Child of the Past
by W. Hugh Missildine, M.D. published by Simon and Schuster New York 1963
p. 22
This is fundamental in understanding how your personal problems as an adult arise. Childhood is customarily considered a period of growth and training, terminating when you no longer need the guidance and protection of your parents and can live as an independent human being. As you assume the posture of an adult, you become, in effect, your own parent. In doing this, you utilize the feelings and attitudes of your parents toward yourself.
p. 23-24
Our Past-Colored Glasses
Our "inner child of the past" causes us to see life, in a sense, with double vision. The adult-of-the-present gives us one view--which may be quite intelligent, level-headed and mature. At the same time the "child of the past" sees the same situation through the emotionally colored glasses of past family relationships. The two views may be so different that we are pulled in two directions at once.
Sometimes we say, "The way I think and the way I feel are not the same at all", or "Why do I act this way when I don't really want to?" These are familiar questions when the "child of the past" and the adult-of-the-present are contending.
I have found, from teaching medical students in my psychiatry classes, that even when this concept of the "child of the past" existing actively within the adult is understood and accepted intellectually, there is a strong tendency to minimize the significance of feelings that stem from childhood. You will have to struggle within yourself to accept their existence as an influential part of your adult make-up.
In our adult lives the "child of the past" is constantly trying to make us live as we lived "at home" in childhood. Due to this influence, we keep twisting our present circumstances and relationships to resemble those we knew in the past. It is not much different in some respects from twisting, curling and rearranging the bedclothes in a certain way as we try to fall asleep in that individual way which each of us has. In this manner we get the "security of the familiar" that we knew as children. While the circumstances and relationships of our early years may not have been entirely comfortable, we learned about life and the world at large in this special childhood setting. We learned to adjust ourselves to this special emotional atmosphere and to call it "reality." As adults we tend to continue to see things in terms of the "reality" of this early family setting.
April 10, 2005 message continues
Jesus speaks: A person with
condemning parents may
spend his whole life trying
to prove men of his success
because of unacceptance
by his dad —
All his actions have this at their root —
"I must prove myself as
finally worth things —
And then he will recognize me
And then dad will love me."
It is too diverse and involved to touch
on individual problems here.
In being leaders in My Reign of My
Sacred Heart — you must be
willing to embrace the truth
about yourselves and look at your
inner child of the past and your
relationships — your attitudes —
And then there are the weaknesses
from the garden
jealousy, pride, envy,
slothfulness, greed —
All human persons have weaknesses
because of original sin.
What happens when the child of the
past, feels unloved and is so
dismayed they sit in anguish
not being able hardly to
stand it.
Does the parent come, put their arms
around them and say — "oh my
child you have done a good
job — you are allowed to make
a mistake, you must try to
do good and please your
heavenly Father" —
If the world is the parent that teaches
today — the child is being taught
untruths and perfectionism
The world teaches competition —
not working together promoting
God's Kingdom using your
talents
April 10, 2005 message continues
Jesus speaks: The world
teaches envy, getting ahead,
condemnation, shame, sinfulness
Mary your Mother came in Clearwater
to be your parent and teach
you as a loving Mother the
way to God.
I am the New Adam —
I came as a baby —
You must come to My Heart and come
forth the child walking in the
Father's light —
loving Mary and dwelling in
her Immaculate Heart —
She brings you forth — a child of
light from her womb of
perfect love —
I give you the wall in Florida —
with a reminder you
are surrounded by the Clearwater
from beneath the building.
I am God — go to the spiritual
womb of Mary, be cleaned
of your sins.
Watch the babies cry —
Who will comfort them —
80 year olds still cry like babies
because of the way they feel
about themselves from the
way mom and dad treated them —
This is to not get you stuck in
a self analyzing time in which
you focus more on yourselves —
this is to open a door and
dare to look in —
every decision you make you
are the child of the past
acting with all you know
now.
A man was in charge of a big company
and losing money — he didn't
want to look at his past
patterns and old habits —
Boy, you would say, he will
fold!!
Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima
by Father Carter, S.J.
May 13, 1917
"Do not be afraid, I will do you no harm..... I am from Heaven.
"I have come to ask you to come here for six months in succession, on the 13th day, at the same hour. Later on, I will tell you who I am and what I want
"Are you willing to offer yourselves to God and bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners?
"Pray the Rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the world, and the end of the war." (8)
June 13, 1917
"God wishes you to remain in the world for some time because He wants to use you to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart. I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and their souls will be loved by God as flowers placed by myself to adorn His throne." (10)
July 13, 1917
"During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." (11)
"During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:
"You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
"The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)
"To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....
"But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." (13)
August 19, 1917
She told them she was greatly displeased by the action of the mayor. As a result, the miracle promised for October would not be as impressive as originally planned. (15)
September 13, 1917
More than 30,000 people were present in September, and saw a shower of mysterious white petals fall to within 10 feet of the ground before dissolving into the air. Many also saw the globe of light bearing the Lady come to rest atop the tree, and the branches bend as though someone were standing on them. Later, they saw the cloud depart into the east, from whence it had come.(16)
October 13, 1917
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 any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.(17)
While the people in attendance were beholding the great Miracle of the Sun, the three young visionaries, and they alone, were privileged to see striking visions in the heavens:
As Our Lady had promised, St. Joseph had come with the Holy Family and had blessed the world. Then, Our Lady appeared as the Mother of Sorrows, accompanied by her Divine Son, Who also blessed the world. Finally, Lucy had seen the Blessed Virgin, dressed in the brown robes of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth, holding a brown Scapular in her hand, with her infant Son upon her knee. However, in none of these visions had any of the figures spoken to the children. (18)
Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her (during her illness) by Mary:
More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.
Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much.

I can no longer restrain the hand of my Divine Son from striking the world with just punishments for its many crimes.
If the government of a country leaves the Church in peace and gives liberty to our Holy Religion, it will be blessed by God.

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

Excerpt from the Daily Message Book
August 16, 1998
You Must Pray for Your Youth - The Priest Must Unite in His Heart to God
Mary speaks: My dear children,
The days go by so swiftly my little ones and another summer is over and you are back at your jobs being students in your schools learning all the subjects that the teachers teach you.
Oh my little ones, I am your teacher, too, and you do not hear me. I teach you about life, what real life is all about.
My child your life is not promised to you. In one moment a cloud could burst above your head and you would be washed away from the earth.
Babies die, children die, young and old men die. Children, God has all the power. Your teachers, your parents, the policemen, the firemen, your priest are all to be instruments acting in God's name.
Many today just use authority for their own purpose.
That is why I have called you here my children to pray. I am your Mother. There is a right way, a way rooted in God's truth. The devil has influenced many that they make right- wrong and wrong - right. My little children, you must live according to the Commandments of God.
You must pray, your heavenly Father loves you to pray. I always lived to please my heavenly Father and yours. You must live to please Him.
Little children, you must tell other youth that they, too, should pray these prayers. God wants you to pray. My little children, you have a rough road for the world is teaching you many sick lessons and you are confused.
My little children, it will be hard for you no matter how hard you try, but only in my Son Jesus will you have peace in your hearts. Oh children, please, please be strong, please, I beg you as your heavenly Mother to pray, please consecrate your hearts and pray the rosary. I am asking you to help me in these troubled times. A lot of souls will be affected if you say "no". God wants you to help me reach my little ones, He has given you this gift in allowing me to appear to you and plead to you that you will hear me. Please, my children, your God is angered at the sinful children of the earth. Help my Son to give them His love. You must pray for your youth. Your prayers are so powerful, please help Him to reach the youth through your prayers and example. Please begin prayer chapters for Him.
I love you,
