New Blue Book 16 is Available!

                April 15, 2016

                R. Beat up but not defeated –

                What makes us endure like this?

                Look at Stephen – his love of God to
                    speak for Him and to be so
                    in love with God – to see
                    God and to be able to forgive
                    those who stoned him.

                And the witness of Stephen was there
                    because they said about laying
                    their cloaks at the feet of Saul.

                God gives us messages about things –

                We are witnesses before others –

                So many messages are given by us –
                    if we are jealous and don't support
                    the establishment it shows up in
                    ways – more than words – in our
                    actions – in our body languages –
                    in remarks we say – in how
                    we give –

                There is no mistake how Jesus loved us –

                There was no mistake how He did the
                    Father's will –

                So many lessons given for us in the
                    life of Jesus –

                So many lessons given by those who
                    loved God in the early Church –

                Such enthusiasm because of their faith –

                They believed – they gave themselves –

                They knew and had fortitude to carry
                    out the mission –

                Without faith there cannot be the work
                    for God that needs to take place –
  

                R. Stephen was talking about stiff-necked
                    and then they stoned him –

                Do we see how we would rather be
                    stiff-necked and guarded to protect
                    ourselves against what anybody
                    is thinking, rather than answer
                    before God for almost denying Him
                    when He has given so many signs and
                    gifts and is asking that we believe –
                    that we have faith and trust in Him –

                    Why were the people of God so "off"
                to worship a golden calf when Moses
                went up the mountain?

                    Somebody said it took them 40 years
                in the desert because of their willfulness
                and the journey was only a few weeks –

                God is watching us now –

                So we are on a journey and we can act
                like He doesn't see us making things
                here our gods, making things here our end.
                Yes when our heart isn't in it – it
                shows – it shows God we have not
                enthusiasm after all He did for us –
                Jesus came and died on the cross –
                He carried the cross –
                He was whipped and we can act like
                God isn't seeing our 'squirmish' witnessing.
                Would people believe in God's love –
                watching how we love - how separate
                we are with the people God called us
                to work with to promote His Kingdom?
                How are we in witnessing before God
                in the life He has given to us and
                the commission to our particular calling –
                vocation He has called us to –
                We can give little and act like a stiff
                board about what He has called us to
                witness to and then act like "oh we
                were good"
                but you can't fool the Lord of glory
                who came and showed us how to
                witness.

                When Paul was converted he worked and
                witnessed and was driven to give
                and take the message – if he was
                shipwrecked, imprisoned – he wasn't
                cold and rigid –
                With his whole heart he gave –

                We listen to the words of Luke in the
                Acts of the Apostles – he reports men
                who were not cold and lukewarm –
                he tells the story of men called and
                gave their all –

                I witness to the messages God has
                given to me –

                My soul cries out to have enthusiasm
                and spread this message because God
                is watching and we won't fool Him
                with our stiff-necked witness.
                He doesn't want lukewarm witnessing.
                The Church is so good.
                The love of God is so good.
                What Jesus teaches us is so good.

                Witnessing to the prayers and messages
                    of the Shepherds of Christ on the Mass and
                    the love of the Two Hearts is so good.

                How can we be so bolted to the earth
                    and stiff-necked –

                How can we be so lacking in faith
                    we want everything proved
                    to us –

                Cold – Cold – what is the security in
                    this to act half-dead before God and
                    He is watching –

                Mary appears and says:
 

                R. Members of the Body of Christ –

                What a gift

                God is watching how we act –

                Are we just lukewarm and
                    stiff-necked –

                Can't sing hardly any praises –

                Yes men are watching how we act
                    and call ourselves Catholic,
                    Christians – lukewarm, and
                    many stiff-necked –

                We are pilgrims on a journey and
                    we haven't arrived –

                Jesus: Why is no growth – well
                    how have you witnessed –

                Would anyone believe watching
                you –               

                I give you Myself to nourish
                    you on your journey –

                You receive the Eucharist –
                I am the Bread of Life –
                You receive the risen Christ –

                I have seen what gives you enthusiasm –
                    some are so enthusiastic about
                    how good they are themselves –
                    they have energy for themselves –

                Men have watched your cold
                    dish water witness and
                    they don't see what you
                    should be witnessing to –

                The On-Fire Love of My Heart –

                The Blessing is so important –

                Love in the heart –

                Witnessing to My Message here –
                    I watched your stiff-necked
                    ways – after all I gave you –

                Succession is very important –
                    Where is yours –

                How is your vision –

                How distorted is your vision
                    of God, of others, of yourself?

                Is there tension between men and women
                    that is more important to you
                    than the work I call you to?
                    Are you hardheaded and not
                    following the plan I laid before
                    you because of your blind-sided
                    ways –

                Who can reach you –

                Do you use other people as an
                    object to promote your own
                    distorted end?

                Disorder –

                    There is disorder in men
                    There is disorder in the elements
                    There is disorder in animals

                    All because of original sin –

                    Loss of harmony –
                    Diseases
                    Coldness

                    Lack of on-fire witnessing
                        to My love and My message
                        of salvation –

                You look at each other with distorted
                    views –

                Why aren't people flooding My
                    Centers –
                    The Virgin Mary building

                On the 13th I outpoured healing
                    graces – I gave so much
                    grace to those who came
                    and listened and prayed –

                Why do some hold themselves stiff-necked
                    and self-focused –

                How is your faith?

                How is your good works?

                Do you choose to love – there are
                    so many divorces in the world –
                    Are you working it out –
                    choosing love or choosing
                    division and hatred –
                    It is an act of the will –

                R. I choose to love God

                I choose to witness before God –
                    how much I love Him –

                We see how God called men to
                    sacrifice purely –
                    Why do we give God leftovers?

                God chooses men to certain
                    callings.

                A man in selfishness says –
                    Why him, I am better.

                God chooses as He chooses –
                    He may choose this man or woman
                    and the others say to God in
                    pride
                    "I am better than him?"

                    How does God like this competition
                        and challenging His Plan?

                    Doing good should be a sufficient
                        reward in itself!

                We see the anger and envy that
                    was between human beings
                    begin with Cain's hatred of Abel.

                There is sin.

                Cain slew his innocent brother Abel.

                Abel was good.

                Cain was hateful, jealous –

                His descendants had this weakness
                    of pride, arrogance,
                    revenge –

                Eve wanted to be like God –

                Jesus: God desires a pure heart –
                    a heart of love
                    Noah found favor with God –
                    I am just and merciful.
                    You see the flood at the time
                        of Noah –
                    You see the saving waters
                        of baptism –
 

                R. We don't hear the words of Noah –

                Noah speaks in what he does –
                Noah had faith –
                Noah performed good works
                Noah was obedient to God –

                Do you see the flood –

                We see that after the flood a
                    dove was released –

                We see the baptism of Jesus –
                    The Holy Spirit was seen over Jesus and
                    the voice of the Father was heard –

                "This is My beloved Son in whom
                    I am well pleased"

                Jesus: I send you out to renew the
                    world – I do not want a cold dish
                    water response after all I
                    have given you.

                How are your hearts –

                How you are in your hearts is how
                    you will be in the world –
                    If your hearts are loving and
                    pure – so will be your thoughts
                    and feelings and actions –

                Let your hearts be holy –

                Give your hearts to Me –

                Consecrate your heart to Our
                    Two Pure and holy Hearts.

                Praise and love Me with all your heart.

                I know your hearts, I know your
                    ways, I read the hearts –
                    Let your heart be dedicated to the
                    honor and glory of God –

                Noah sacrificed –

                Do you see My sacrifice given for you?

                Go out and be fruitful –

                Do you see a new time in the
                    world after Noah –
 

Genesis 1: 28

     God blessed them, saying to them, ‘Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven and all the living creatures that move on earth.

                Jesus: Do you see the war in men's hearts –
                    the conflict comes in men's hearts
                    opposing God's will –
                    hatred toward their brothers

                You were created in the image and
                    likeness of God –

                R. God made a covenant with Noah.
 

And I shall maintain my covenant with you: that never again shall all living things be destroyed by the waters of a flood, nor shall there ever again be a flood to devastate the earth.’ 

    ‘And this’, God said, ‘is the sign of the covenant which I now make between myself and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come: I now set my bow in the clouds and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I gather the clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I shall recall the covenant between myself and you and every living creature, in a word all living things, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all living things. When the bow is in the clouds I shall see it and call to mind the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth, that is, all living things.’ 

    ‘That’, God told Noah, ‘is the sign of the covenant I have established between myself and all living things on earth.’

                R. God later made a covenant with
                    Abraham and his descendants –

                God tested Abraham's faith –

                God tells us to be fruitful and
                  multiply – 

                We are to bear fruit for the Kingdom of God –

                We are to be one in God –

                The world went 'off', they want to build
                    a secular city without God –

                Where and when this happens
                    there is disorder –
 

Acts 2: 5-12

    Now there were devout men living in Jerusalem from every nation under heaven, and at this sound they all assembled, and each one was bewildered to hear these men speaking his own language. They were amazed and astonished. ‘Surely,’ they said, ‘all these men speaking are Galileans? How does it happen that each of us hears them in his own native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; people from Mesopotamia, Judaea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya round Cyrene; residents of Rome—Jews and proselytes alike—Cretans and Arabs, we hear them preaching in our own language about the marvels of God.’ Everyone was amazed and perplexed; they asked one another what it all meant.

                R. God helps us many times for our own good.

                Abraham is chosen –
 

                R. Abraham is the Father of many
                    nations –

                Our prayer is to be from the heart –
                    The interior disposition
                    Jesus comes and shows us His Heart –
                    Jesus gives us His flesh and blood
                        to eat and drink –

                Jesus: Pure heart
                    1) all day –
                    2) every day
                    3) dying to self-will
                    4) loving the Father's will like Mary

                R. Put on the mind of Christ

                Jesus: Die to your selfish will –

                R. Sorrow for sin
 

Mass

Thanksgiving Reparation Love Satisfaction for sin

                Not sterile

                Interior disposition is pure

                Putting on the Mind of Christ

                Jesus: To one much is given, much will be
                    expected.

                R. Communal Prayer
 

                R. Living the Mysteries

                    Mary said "yes" in the Annunciation

                    Response to God's Love
 

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

                R. Going out of ourselves

                    Being a witness!
