April 12, 2015 - Divine Mercy Sunday

                Readings from Mass Today

                From Fr. Joe

                    St. Luke wrote Acts of the
                Apostles. Until the end of
                May the first reading will
                be from Acts –

                St. Luke tells us about the
                early Christians - how
                they all got along. They
                shared their property.
                The Church, St. Luke tells
                us, was in one mind and one
                heart.

                    In the beginning they got
                along. St. Paul tells us about
                the troubles later with the
                early Church.

                In the beginning – the
                early Church was in one
                mind and one heart.
                They shared their goods in
                love with each other.

                Give thanks to God – God's love
                is everlasting.

                God is all good.

                "This is the day, the Lord
                    has made."

                Obey God's commandments.

                Joke: There was a guy who hadn't gone
                to confession for a very long
                time.

                He went to the confessional and
                he said to the priest –
                Times have really changed
                in the confessional –
                He had seen 2 cigars in there,
                and a good novel –

                The priest said
                    "That's my side."

                The Gospel is from around
                    Easter Sunday Night –
                    They heard rumors of Jesus
                    appearing –

                And Jesus came in their midst
                    and appeared –

                Jesus had forgiven sins –

                Now He said to them –
   

                Now by His Power Jesus gives
                    His Apostles the power
                    to forgive sins –
                    in His name –

                Today is Divine Mercy Sunday.

                Some people think everybody
                    will go to heaven –

                But Jesus makes it clear –
                    there are those that will
                    be saved and forgiven
                    and those who won't
                    admit their sins and ask to
                    be forgiven by Jesus.

                Jesus came for us to be saved and
                    to lead us to the Kingdom of God –

                Jesus shows us in the scriptures
                    everybody won't be in
                    heaven –

                See the parables –

                See the parable of those
                    working in the vineyard.

                See the parable of the
                    last judgment –

                People can choose to
                    reject God's mercy.

                What keeps a person in spiritual
                    darkness –

                They choose darkness to light.

                God wants relationship with us,
                    but we must accept His
                    mercy.

                God wants to share His love
                    with us – it is up to
                    us to accept it or
                    we can reject it.

                We can condemn ourselves!

                We refuse God's mercy.

                Confession helps us to deal
                    with guilt.

                Confession is a sacrament.

                People must forgive themselves –

                When God forgives us –
                    we have to forgive ourselves –

                Pride tells us we shouldn't
                    have done it anyway –
                    we are too good –

                We need the virtue of humility –

                We need to admit the truth about
                    our sins and
                    ask God to forgive us –

                When God forgives us – we
                    have to forgive others –
                    this does not mean putting
                    up with abusive relationships.

                We are to learn to forgive others
                    who hurt us and those in
                    the past who hurt us –
                    to work through forgiveness
                    and healing –

                Many other religions don't like
                    confession –

                God touches our lives in a
                    sacrament so powerfully –
                    so thus He touches us
                    so powerfully in the
                    sacrament of confession –

                Confession does help us to
                    let go of guilt –

                Many times people go to
                    confession and don't
                    feel peace –

                This is because they don't
                    forgive themselves –

                We are all sinners –

                When we beat ourselves up –
                    it can be a sin of pride,
                    to think we are above
                    error –

                We really need humility –

                St. Theresa says when
                    we receive God's mercy –
                    we need to forgive others –

                We are here to be in relationships
                    with God –
                    to interact in love with
                        God and with others.

                We must learn how to
                    work with others.

                "forgive us our trespasses
                    as we forgive those
                    who trespass against
                    us"

                Jesus: You were given this message from
                Fr. Carter –
            

           From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.       

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

end of excerpt

                Jesus: Do you beg God for grace to
                grow in the virtues? Virtues
                are good habits.

                    Pride, anger, jealousy, envy,
                gluttony, slothfulness are
                deadly sins. The more one
                develops bad habits or
                deadly sins, the more they
                feel spiritually not good.

                A person is to tell the truth
                about their sins. I am the
                way, the truth and the life.
                You are to grow in greater
                oneness with Me.
                When one lies about their
                deadly sins – they drive themselves
                from intimacy with Me –

                    I am truth – how
                would lying unite to
                Absolute Truth –
                Lying drives you from
                Me. First to thine own
                self be true.

                    The devil is the grand
                deceiver. The devil wants
                you to grow in the ways
                of satan. When you are
                wrong, not to admit it,
                but to lie, deceive
                yourself about the sin
                you committed.

                    I call you to be more and
                more in My image and
                likeness. Your Father says
                "Be perfect as your
                Heavenly Father is perfect."

                    The very hairs of your head
                are numbered – it offends
                Me when you sin and
                then act like you did nothing.

                What brings people into
                unity to build the Kingdom of God
                is growing more and more
                in My image and likeness.

                    Can they look at you and
                see Me operating in you –
                have you lived in My
                image and likeness?

                    When you go to bed tonight
                You cannot live the day again.
                I am the way, the truth and
                    the life –

                I am love –

                I give you Myself –

                I give you Myself today
                    in the Holy Eucharist.

                I am truly present in
                    My Divinity and humanity.

                I love you so much –

                Do you hear Me?

                April 12, 2015 - Divine Mercy Sunday

                R. Jesus died for us because He loves
                us so very much. He died for me
                and I am a sinner, but He
                will forgive my sins, but I have
                to tell Him I am sorry for how
                I have offended Him in pride and
                anger, in blocking His Plan with
                others so I can make my way the
                way I think I want.

                    Jesus is always asking us to
                respond to His program. The devil
                wants people stuck in the
                same old, same old – so they can
                predict their comfort zone –
                settle down and do what they
                want.

                In a mechanism there are parts, in
                the body – there are parts – parts work
                together to give us health in the body.
                The devil is the opposer of God's will.
                He instructs people how to oppose
                what God is asking of them. It
                is willfulness opposing God's will.

                    St. Ignatius tells us to discern
                the spirits. They can come from us,
                from others, (the devil included,
                the evil spirit) or from the Holy Spirit.

                    Our life is to be lived – where God
                is the master and we are the servants,
                doing God's will in love.

                    But the more a person just
                listens to their thoughts – which
                are thoughts opposing God's will
                from satan, the more they oppose
                God's Plan –

                    God's Plan is - we are under –
                Jesus showed us the suffering Servant,
                He always did His Father's will –
                Jesus was other focused – Jesus
                shows us how to live –
                God is our Father –
                We are to live as sons of God –
                He shows us forgiveness for the
                son returning after leaving and
                being sorry –

                He shows us how to live the Father's
                will – He shows us how He loved
                how He sacrificed to give love and
                healing and teaching about God
                to others.

                The devil is the opposer - he tells
                us why we can't do what God
                wants and he tells us why and
                he tells us to listen to him –
                The devil is a liar, a deceiver,
                he hates, he wants to take you
                and the house down. The devil
                is real.

                    We have so many days, to live
                in the moment, serving God –
                not ourselves. Loving, not
                hating people, not closing down –
                being resurrection people – doing
                God's will – NOT Listening to
                satan and opposing God's will.
                What are you best at
                loving your own will and opposing
                    God
                loving God's will, serving God,
                    giving ourselves in love.
                We need to not offend God and
                develop our relationship with
                Him. Tell Him when we sin and
                ask for forgiveness and say we
                are sorry – This is what we do
                to develop any relationship –
                work to have love and unity and trust.
                We are here to work on loving and
                trusting each other because we
                are accountable to God for how
                we serve Him and build His
                Kingdom. Charity to God, Charity
                toward others. The people we
                were given by God to work with
                are not enemies. The devil opposes
                us being united to whom God wants
                us to work with to do His work,
                the devil tempts people to oppose
                the Father's will, oppose relationships
                God wants us to develop in the
                building of His Kingdom.

                    God loves us so much. He shows
                us in trusting others who are
                uncharitable and offending us
                we will suffer. Jesus suffered,
                but He is love – He did the
                Father's will –

                    Our biggest desire in life to
                help build the Kingdom of love
                should be to serve God, put
                Him first, love Him – give
                Him what He wants –

                    God created us in the image
                and likeness of God.

end of excerpt

                R. We can be selfish, jealous,
                envious, prideful and we are
                not like God – we are becoming
                more and more like satan wants
                us. Opposing God's will,
                and this will cause us more
                trouble.

                    God shows us the way, God
                is love. Are we nice to others?
                Is our whole life to love ourselves,
                opposing God's will – loving ourselves
                like Eve in the Garden – that wanted
                to be equal to God.

                    God is so good to us. He loved us
                into existence. Jesus died for our
                sins. Pray for mercy - pray for
                forgiveness, Act of Contrition –
    

"O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life. Amen."

The Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

l. R. The angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary and asked her to be the Mother of God.

2. R. Mary responded to the request.

Luke 1: 38

Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’

R. This is how it is with Mary. All through her life she always, always lived according to the Father’s will.

3. R. Mary is the new Eve. We see the old Eve. We see Adam and Eve in the garden given the great gifts and knowing God in such an intense way of having the light, of having all these gifts and they disobeyed and they ate of the tree. Mary, the sinless one comes and she obeys all that the Father wishes her to obey. Mary is sinless and all holy. Mary is the pure and the Immaculate One. Mary is the mother of God and our Mother to lead the sinful race through the Holy Spirit to be brought forth as children of light in her Immaculate Heart.

4. R. And the Holy Spirit descended upon her and Mary conceived of the child, Jesus.

Reference: John 3: 16

R. God the Father gave His Son to us that we would share in His life. We are to model our lives after the life of Jesus. As we meditate on these mysteries of the rosary, let us ask for Divine wisdom especially from the Holy Spirit that we may see lights and insights into these mysteries. Let us consecrate our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Give ourselves to Mary in her heart, for it is there that the Holy Spirit works to give us these lights, to give us insights into the Divine mysteries. God loves us to pray the rosary. Mary gave us the rosary as a great gift in which we would be united in a deeper way to God by meditating on the lives of Jesus and Mary. It is in the rosary that the Holy Spirit does give us great lights. The Holy Spirit wants us to pray the rosary. The Holy Spirit is the Spouse of the Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit works very closely with the Virgin Mary in bringing us forth into the light. Is this not all that we crave? We are like blinded. We are like walking in darkness. We have our human minds but He elevates our knowing capacity and loving capacity, we share in His Divine Life in baptism. And to know a little bit, to receive a light from the Holy Spirit is so satisfying for this is what we crave. This is what He has done for us in these rosaries. He has lifted the shade and He has given us insights into the Divine mysteries. It’s really up to Him and what He gives us. God is the Initiator. We the one waiting His favor.

5. R. I give my heart to Mary and I ask the Holy Spirit to work. We see that it is through the power of the Holy Spirit that she conceived of the child Jesus. And it is through the power of the Holy Spirit that we will be brought forth into the light.

6. R. We have been given these messages from God, and from God the Father. And all of us have grown so much in our relationship with God. And He expects us to live by the messages that He has given to us. Here is something that I would like to read out of the scripture.

Reference: Luke 1:18-20

7. R. The devil worked very cunningly trying to block the message God has given. God gives us signs.

August 11, 1996

Jesus: I have given permanent signs of the authenticity of these messages. Time is urgent and the messages need to be supported and circulated by the leaders in the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

Over and over again, I have told you what would happen if you ignore the messages. I am asking you to see that each and every person involved in the Shepherds of Christ Movement read the message of March 7, 1994 and March 13, 1994. Please discern and circulate the message of March 20, 1994, before the end of the building collapsed.

I am asking all to help circulate the video of April 17, 1994. I have given several permanent signs in this video. The sun spins in the beginning: the sun spins when Rita is reading a message from God’s Blue Book 1. These are permanent signs I have given to prove that I am delivering these messages.

I ask you to circulate the video from September 15, 1995. The mist received around the Sorrowful Mother is her sign given that she truly appeared daily from July 5, 1994 until September 5, 1995. This is your sign to help in circulating the Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.  end of excerpt

Reference: Luke 1: 19-20

R. Mary appeared over and over and over again as Our Lady of Light for fourteen months, Mary appeared almost for 2 l/2 years on the 5th of the month and then Jesus appeared hanging on the cross in December with His mouth moving, speechless, because nobody’s paying attention to what He’s saying. And then the Father starts speaking in Blue Book 14. When I got the messages from God the Father, there was intense authority. The first day I got that message from God the Father and it came in about seven minutes, both of those messages. I just knew what I went through inside when God the Father spoke and it was forceful and it was authoritative. Mary speaks like Mary, Jesus speaks like Jesus. Mary is the New Eve. Jesus is the New Adam.

Song: A Song from Jesus

R. The new Adam and the new Eve, Jesus and Mary.

Luke 1: 38

Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’

R. And Jesus gave Himself to His death on the cross, always obeying the Father’s will. It is obedience that the Father wants of His children for we are the children of the Father and He wants us to obey Him.

8. Sing Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

9. Hail Mary

10. Hail Mary

R. Christ came and He walked the earth and He told them what they must do and He showed them through His life how to live and they hung Him on a tree. To His death they hung Him on a tree, the all-just and holy one, the King of all Kings, the Almighty God, they hung on a tree. We see Adam and Eve in the garden and we see them willfully take the fruit from the tree and eat.

PRAY the ROSARY.

 

The Visitation

1. Reference: Luke 1: 39-45

2. R. Mary appeared at Clearwater. Mary has visited us in these apparitions. Listen to Mary.

December 19, 1996

Mary: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World. I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.

I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book.

end of December 19, 1996

3. R. And the Father said to read the two messages that were in the Apostles Manual on the 11th and the 18th. I continue to read them and learn more and more each time I read them. He wants us to study them for they are not from Mary and Jesus, but they are from the Father. And the Father has spoken in there and He really wants the Mass Book out. When the Mass Book is circulated, people will attend the Mass in a different way. We do not see that this is the plan from all time. We are living in this little time zone right now in this room. Today is Father’s Day. Today is this, that and the other. But this plan goes back to Adam and Eve and how man has offended God. It goes back to the Visitation. It goes back to the lesson that Mary taught, that she taught us when she said, “be it done unto me according to thy word.”

Reference: Luke 1: 46-48

R. Right, they will call her blessed for she is the mother of the children of light. For God has looked upon His handmaid’s lowliness. We are the lowly ones. He has looked on our lowliness and He has raised us to heights. We receive a sharing in His life in baptism. Let us see Jesus in each other. We need to meditate on the mysteries of the rosary and live in Jesus! How did Jesus treat people? How did Mary treat people? Every act that They did was to please God the Father. We are doing what we are doing for God. Jesus is alive and He lives in us and He lives in this world. We must act for the honor and glory of God - do good acts. I go to the tabernacle to be with Jesus. We are the carriers of the light. We are the carriers of the joy that is alive within us for God has taught us in a very special way. And we must have that connection in our heart and our mind at all times, that whatever I am doing for anybody else I am doing for God and see Him in that person.

4. R. We cannot forget about our intimacy with God. For it is in that intimate time that He gives us strength. But we must realize that sometimes our prayers do not always get done exactly the way that Jesus has told us to try to do them. That we can’t always pray every hour on the hour. So if we think about it 15 minutes late then we pray then. He wants strict adherence to that at the Center. The main function is at the Center to join us together in the Heart of Jesus in prayer. But in our lives, we cannot be caught up to the point where we are anxious when we do not do everything that He has asked us to do. We must try to be saints, to do what He is asking us to do. But our main focus is, is in dealing with others. We see Christ in them, the creation of God the Father.

5. R. We are at a new stage in this movement. We are going out as Mary visited her cousin, Elizabeth. We too, are in the stage of going out. We have our most intimate time with Jesus, which gives us strength but we must see God in others those He called us to work with, and realize that when we are serving them, when we are loving them, when we are making them smile, that we are serving and loving God.

Reference: Matthew 22: 34-40

6. R. We are the Shepherds of Christ. He is living in us in a special way. He has called us to this special core group, and special oneness with Him. Many of the religious are not living up to their commitment of spending time with Jesus and loving Him. He has called us as a lay people and He has given to us a great desire to love Him and to want to be with Him. And we are serving many purposes. And how immensely happy we make God when we spend our time in fervent prayer and loving. We do not even comprehend how one of us individually make Jesus so happy when our whole life is centered on Him, loving Him in others and loving Him in prayer to Him. We have a big mission all right. And the big mission is that He has given us this great oneness with Him and we give Him a lot of joy when we do things in love for Him and for others.

7. Jesus: Do not underestimate the great love that I have for each one of you gathered here. I have joined you to My Heart and it is your individual sacrifice and love that gives Me immense joy. I am treated with such indifference and such hatred by so many. God is greatly offended by the creatures of this earth. And it is through your actions and your love that I receive great happiness from you. I have given to you this great union with Me and in your actions I am immensely happy with the love that you give. You help make reparation for offenses against My Heart and Mary’s Heart.

8. R. Remember Fr. Carter saying a long time ago that we can give Jesus happiness when we love Him and when we do things that make Him happy. Jesus is waiting for us to give Him this great love. For He is offended by the creatures of this earth and He is all deserving and loving of all of our love. Jesus has given to us great gifts that we have squandered and we have not thanked Him for and so many today do not even ever say thanks to Him. Jesus has given to us a great union with Him and we give Him great happiness when we love Him and when we do what the Father wants us to do by obeying Him and spending our life doing just the things that we are trying to do. God is immensely pleased with this core group and each one of us gathered here. We should not look at ourselves and be so hard on ourselves but we should see that God is thanking us and loving us in a special way as His precious chosen ones. And be grateful that God cares for us so much.

9. R. We thank You, our beloved God and we love You.

10. R. Be grateful for these gifts from God to us.

The Birth of our Lord Jesus

1. Reference: John 3: 16

2. R. Jesus died for us.

3. R. And we are given this sharing in His life in Baptism. Pray for grace, for this increase of His life in us. We can be permeated and saturated more with His life. The more we go especially to the Eucharist, and stay after Communion in the Mass and sit in front of the tabernacle we can receive abundant grace.

4. Prayer for Union with Jesus

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

2. Reference: Luke 2: 33-35

R. Mary looked into the face of her Son and she saw Him battered and bruised and bloodied. Mary saw Him with the blood in His eyes. Mary saw His body covered with wounds and Mary knew that despite His suffering that many would throw away the great grace that He wanted to give them. Mary says many of her children are going to hell like rain.

4. 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

5. R. We must act according to the Father’s will.

6. R. Jesus said on the day of the flood that He would shake the tree and the rotten fruit would fall to the ground and all that would remain on the tree would be the fruit of heaven.

7. Song: We Have Been Told

8. R. And God told them that they could not eat of the forbidden tree. And the garden was the most beautiful place. And they had all the gifts and everything that they needed. But they ate of the fruit of the forbidden tree. 9. R. And the new Adam and the new Eve came and He is hung on a tree and He shows us that to His death on the cross, He obeyed the will of the Father and that Mary stood beneath the cross and that she obeyed the will of the Father. I see this when I see Mary, holding Jesus in her arms. What a testimony to Mary and Jesus living in the Father’s will. Look at them in such sorrow under the cross. Mary, her face is covered with sorrow and Jesus is dead in her arms.

10. R. Such unity between Jesus and Mary – Mary was conceived sinless, Jesus, the Son of God. Unity, Unity, Unity!

The Finding of Our Lord in the Temple

1. R. Mary stood outside of the tomb. Mary could barely stand and she looked and her Son had been locked in the tomb. Can you imagine the sorrow within the heart of Mary as she looked at the locked tomb. Mary cries out to us today about her lost children. Mary knew of those souls that would be locked in the everlasting tomb of hell, never ever, ever to get out.

2. R. And so I wrote yesterday, this is how Mary appeared to me for fourteen months as Our Lady of Light. Mary appears with the sword in her heart and Mary speaks and she says, “I am the Lady of Light. I lament the loss of my precious children. I knew from the prophecy of Simeon so many would be lost.”

Reference: Luke 2: 31-35

3. R. God shows His power by working on the elements, letting water spill on the dry land. Everything operates in order. We take it for granted. God says, “Here, I will get your attention.” We take vegetation for granted. He can take it away. He can turn the moon to blood and dim the sun. Man may not recognize the hand of God. He says it is a happening. God allows the sun to spin in the sky, it is a great gift for us. When He gives a rainbow, when He allows halos around the moon, it is a gift of His love. So too, the devil can cause false lights and give false voices to people to try to get them off guard and confuse the situation. The devil can appear as Our Lady and Our Lord, sometimes, and give false lights and messages. God is all powerful. He says, “you know not the time or the day.” We think we know it all. This audacious pride of man is not to God’s likings. We are dependent on Him.

4. R. God can allow bugs to crawl on the earth and can overwhelm man with them. They can infect man and wipehim out. God is in control, not man. Man is given great gifts from God. Many times man’s intelligence has been used against God’s plans. It is not always in harmony with God’s plan. The television, the movies, the video games have been used to infest the minds of the young. Man has used his great intelligence to promote sin. His intelligence should be used to spread the Good News. Why should God allow men to continue to do so. Man has used medical advances to perfect abortion. Man has killed the great life that God has created, a human person. On March 3, 1997, the day of the Falmouth flood, Jesus spoke and He said, “When the poison reaches the peak of pain, I will pour down the antidote in these revelations.”

Genesis 1:27

“God created man in the image of himself, in the image of God he created him”

R. And man takes the liberty to violate the commandment, ‘thou shalt not kill’ and kills the child God created in His image and likeness in the womb of the mother. Oh men of the earth, abortion is wrong, you anger God and test His great love and mercy given for man.

5. R. The greatest offense is not what we are doing to man, it is how we are offending God. We should be making reparation as a human race for the offenses against Him. God created the whole earth and it’s creatures in six days and He rested on the seventh day. What is it that man is so busy he need not rest on the seventh day. He commands, ‘remember thou keep holy the Sabbath day’, another commandment that is violated.

6. R. The priests and the people are one body in Christ. The priest is another Christ. Man is given the sacraments.

7. R. It is a spousal relationship that Christ wants with us. He gives His body to us in the Mass and we unite with the Divine God in this intense mystical union. God has lifted the veil for us in this core group that we can experience this mystical union with Him. It is a great gift that will happen in the new era. We have been given great gifts and we must be most thankful for the gifts that He has given. But in no way are we to be so hard on ourselves that we do not realize that God loves us immensely and that He is pleased with the acts of love and the acts of sacrifice in giving that we are giving to Him. God has given us this Movement for the renewal of the Church and the world. Pray for faith – Mary has appeared – Let’s do what Jesus and Mary say to do.

8. R. We are making Jesus happy when we love Him and love each other.

9. Song: We Have Been Told

R. We pray to be deeply one in Jesus and let Him operate in us.

Reference: John 17: 20-23

Song: We Have Been Told

Jesus: And so My beloved ones, when they persecute you, when they holler every evil word against you, know that My Father is with you and know that He is protecting you and loving you and that you are spreading My word to those that I love. And if you are silent, they will not hear the words that you speak to them. For I live in you. I am the vine, you are the branches. All who live in Me will bear great fruit.

R. And He will shake the tree and the rotten fruit will fall to the ground and all that will remain will be the fruit of heaven for He is the Almighty God and He created the world in seven days He created the light and He created the darkness and He created the creatures of this earth and He came and gave Himself that we would share in His Divine life and He is giving to us an abundant sharing in this Divine life that we can act in this world as He lives in us. And He is the vine and we are the branches. And we will bear great fruit for we will not wither and die, if we remain in Him. And so as it was in the beginning where He talked about taking the little shoot off of this tree. This is why I thought that this pertains to the Shepherds of Christ.

Reference: Ezekiel 17: 22-24

Reference: Psalm 92: 12-15

Reference: 2 Corinthians 5: 6-10

Reference: Mark 4: 30-34

R. And there was a reading this week and He talked about unveiling the scriptures. He has unveiled the scriptures to us. From Genesis to Revelation. To know God is to know His Word for Jesus is the Word and He is living in our hearts. And when we speak it is like a two-edged sword that penetrates the heart and the soul of those that are the receivers because He is alive in our hearts.

Jesus: And so I say to you My beloved ones, I have called you. You have been chosen by the Father to help accomplish this plan on this earth. Do not be afraid for He guards you night and day.

R. The Father comforts me. And I am not afraid for my greatest desire is to do His will. We love You, our beloved Father. We thank You. We are imperfect. We seek to be more perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect. And we know You more and more through your Son, Jesus, and we grow in our love relationships. We thank you, Jesus, You have given us this Spousal relationship. We can go to You and know Your love. And we thank you Mary, the all perfect mother, the mother that loves us and teaches us love. The more we know God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the more we can imitate God and be healed. And God has given to us each other that we can love more perfectly for we are human persons and we are loving one another as Christ loves through us. And the Holy Spirit binds it all together with the fire of God’s love, permeating and acting within the heart of Mary to help us to be more and more like Jesus, our Savior. The Holy Spirit is working in Mary’s Heart. Amen.
 

10. From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: “My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary’s Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother’s Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!”

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us. end of excerpt

R. The Bread of Life is the Word and the Eucharist. Jesus is the Bread of Life. God gives us a sharing in His life in baptism and nourishes this life with Himself. We’ve been praying for this mission that He’s called us to. Why He called us, He knew that we would say yes.

Say the Our Father.

                (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.’

                The Scourging at the Pillar

                Sing: Oh Lord hear our prayer

                R. Say Our Father

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

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

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

                Oh God - we are so sorry –
                    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 –

                (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.

                (3) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary

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

                (4) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary continues

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

                (5) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary continues

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

The Crucifixion 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Exodus 12: 21-27

Injunctions relating to the Passover

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

(4) Exodus 24: 3-8

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

(5) Hebrews 9: 11-15

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

Christ seals the new covenant with his blood

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

(6) A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995
