Messenger:        It is not that we have
                                imperfections or that there is evil
                                within us, for we are imperfect —
                                the problem is in failing to admit
                                the imperfections and evils and
                                blaming others for our sin
                                so that we can move on to do good
                                and not continue doing evil.

                            We are the children of God, imperfect, but
                                if we fail to see that our mission is
                                to love like Jesus, we do not recognize
                                what this mission is all about.
                                Jesus and Mary are hearts of love.
                                We are telling the world about these Hearts
                                    of love, and failing to love others, ourselves.

       

Revelation 3: 12

Anyone who proves victorious I will make into a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and it will stay there for ever; I will inscribe on it the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which is coming down from my God in heaven, and my own new name as well.

  

Psalm 51

Have mercy on me, O God, in your faithful love, 
in your great tenderness wipe away my offences; 
wash me clean from my guilt, 
purify me from my sin. 

For I am well aware of my offences, 
my sin is constantly in mind. 
Against you, you alone, I have sinned, 
I have done what you see to be wrong, 

that you may show your saving justice when you pass sentence, 
and your victory may appear when you give judgement, 
remember, I was born guilty, 
a sinner from the moment of conception. 

But you delight in sincerity of heart, 
and in secret you teach me wisdom. 
Purify me with hyssop till I am clean, 
wash me till I am whiter than snow. 

Let me hear the sound of joy and gladness, 
and the bones you have crushed will dance. 
Turn away your face from my sins, 
and wipe away all my guilt. 

God, create in me a clean heart, 
renew within me a resolute spirit, 
do not thrust me away from your presence, 
do not take away from me your spirit of holiness. 

Give me back the joy of your salvation, 
sustain in me a generous spirit. 
I shall teach the wicked your paths, 
and sinners will return to you. 

Deliver me from bloodshed, God, God of my salvation, 
and my tongue will acclaim your saving justice. 
Lord, open my lips, 
and my mouth will speak out your praise. 

Sacrifice gives you no pleasure, 
burnt offering you do not desire. 
Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit, 
a broken, contrite heart you never scorn. 

In your graciousness do good to Zion, 
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. 
Then you will delight in upright sacrifices,
—burnt offerings and whole oblations—
and young bulls will be offered on your altar.

Messenger:        We offer our sacrifice to Jesus —

     


  

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.

-God's Blue Book, December 27, 1995

         

April 15, 2005 message continues

Messenger:         Loving God is a commandment —
                            Loving one another is what God calls us to now.

                            Love, not competition, lies — admitting the
                                evil in us and begging God to
                                heal us.

                                Evil within us causes us unhappiness,
                                problems, when we lie about it,
                                justify ourselves when we sin
                                rather than say we are sorry to
                                God and others and admit our
                                wrong doing 

  

Psalm 51

in your great tenderness wipe away my offences; 
wash me clean from my guilt,
