Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me.

April 18, 2001
Messenger: Very early morning
- Jesus woke me with
the following: "I am from above, you are from below." He kept repeating something like this over and over.
Jesus speaks: 4 months after the death of Father Carter - I speak to you:
I know pain, how is the pain
inside
and how do you deal with it?
I gave My Body to the men that
beat Me so you would have life.
I am from above,
you are from below.
1 Corinthians 15: 35-58The manner of the resurrection
Someone may ask: How are dead people raised, and what sort of body do they have when they come? How foolish! What you sow must die before it is given new life; and what you sow is not the body that is to be, but only a bare grain, of wheat I dare say, or some other kind; it is God who gives it the sort of body that he has chosen for it, and for each kind of seed its own kind of body.
Not all flesh is the same flesh: there is human flesh; animals have another kind of flesh, birds another and fish yet another. Then there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; the heavenly have a splendour of their own, and the earthly a different splendour. The sun has its own splendour, the moon another splendour, and the stars yet another splendour; and the stars differ among themselves in splendour. It is the same too with the resurrection of the dead: what is sown is perishable, but what is raised is imperishable; what is sown is contemptible but what is raised is glorious; what is sown is weak, but what is raised is powerful; what is sown is a natural body, and what is raised is a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body, there is a spiritual body too. So the first man, Adam, as scripture says, became a living soul; and the last Adam has become a life–giving spirit. But first came the natural body, not the spiritual one; that came only afterwards. The first man, being made of earth, is earthly by nature; the second man is from heaven. The earthly man is the pattern for earthly people, the heavenly man for heavenly ones. And as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so we shall bear the likeness of the heavenly one.
What I am saying, brothers, is that mere human nature cannot inherit the kingdom of God: what is perishable cannot inherit what is imperishable. Now I am going to tell you a mystery: we are not all going to fall asleep, but we are all going to be changed, instantly, in the twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet sounds. The trumpet is going to sound, and then the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed, because this perishable nature of ours must put on imperishability, this mortal nature must put on immortality.
A hymn of triumph. Conclusion
And after this perishable nature has put on imperishability and this mortal nature has put on immortality, then will the words of scripture come true: Death is swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin comes from the Law. Thank God, then, for giving us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So, my dear brothers, keep firm and immovable, always abounding in energy for the Lord’s work, being sure that in the Lord none of your labours is wasted.
2 Corinthians 6: 14-18Do not harness yourselves in an uneven team with unbelievers; how can uprightness and law–breaking be partners, or what can light and darkness have in common? How can Christ come to an agreement with Beliar and what sharing can there be between a believer and an unbeliever? The temple of God cannot compromise with false gods, and that is what we are—the temple of the living God. We have God’s word for it: I shall fix my home among them and live among them; I will be their God and they will be my people. Get away from them, purify yourselves, says the Lord. Do not touch anything unclean, and then I shall welcome you. I shall be father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me, says the almighty Lord.
John 3: 31-36
He who comes from above
is above all others;
he who is of the earth
is earthly himself
and speaks in an earthly way.
He who comes from heaven
bears witness to the things
he has seen and heard,
but his testimony
is not accepted by anybody;
though anyone
who does accept his testimony
is attesting that God is true,
since he whom God has sent
speaks God’s own words,
for God gives him the Spirit
without reserve.
The Father loves the Son
and has entrusted everything to his hands.
Anyone who believes in the Son
has eternal life,
but anyone who refuses
to believe in the Son
will never see life:
God’s retribution hangs over him.’
John 7: 14-16When the festival was half over, Jesus went to the Temple and began to teach. The Jews were astonished and said, ‘How did he learn to read? He has not been educated.’ Jesus answered them:
‘My teaching is not from myself:
it comes from the one who sent me;
John 7: 28-29
Then, as Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he cried out:
You know me
and you know where I came from.
Yet I have not come of my own accord:
but he who sent me is true;
You do not know him,
but I know him
because I have my being from him
and it was he who sent me.
April 18, 2001 message continues
Jesus speaks: . . . And they
struck Me, they persecuted Me, they
beat Me for speaking the truth and
finally they crucified Me, finally they
put Me to death for speaking the truth.
And I send you, I speak My word to them
through you.
Look what they did to Me.
And I worked signs and they tried to catch Me
for the good I did.
Is it not like that with Mary on the building?
I come to you at the end of the second Millennium
to renew My Church as is promised.
Listen to the words of Revelation.
Revelation 21: 1-8D:
THE JERUSALEM OF THE FUTUREThe heavenly Jerusalem
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, ‘Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God–with–them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.’
Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. ‘Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true." Then he said to me, ‘It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.’

Me as their God, they will worship
Me and live to serve Me, they will

bring about this great era of peace

Response to God's Love
Excerpt from Response to God's Love, by Father Edward Carter, S.J.
| 1 The Mystery of Christ and |
|
Etymologically, the word mystery basically means that which is secret or hidden. It was used in a religiously technical sense even before Christianity. Mystery was used, for example, to designate certain religious rites of pagan Hellenism, secret rites that were closed to outsiders unless they had been properly initiated into them. In relation to Egyptian hermeticism, the word mystery was applied to initiation into secret religious ideas or doctrines. In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God. The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of
knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's
fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the
Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving. |

Excerpt from the Apostles' Manual
The Role of Private Revelation in the Life of the Church
In these our times there have been numerous reports from around the world of events regarding alleged private revelations. Messages from alleged visionaries and locutionists abound. Many people are at least somewhat confused regarding how one should react to all this.
It seems appropriate, therefore, to offer some thoughts concerning the role of private revelation in the life of the Church.
First of all, we must realize the Church recognizes that private revelation has a role to play in the life of the Church. The Catechism says:
Throughout the ages, there have been so-called 'private revelations,' some of which have been recognized by the authority of the Church. They do not belong, however, to the deposit of faith. It is not their role to improve or complete Christ's definitive Revelation, but to help live more fully by it in a certain period of history.1
We would now like to offer the thoughts of some contemporary theologians regarding this role of private revelation: Harvey Egan, S.J., says:
Private revelations often presuppose the gift of prophecy. Prophetic revelations commission the mystic to address the entire Church, or a significant portion. He must deliver a message, plead for a particular devotion, call for conversion and penance, warn against certain aberrations in Church life...suggest new styles of life or spiritual doctrine, or foretell the future. Those post-apostolic, prophetic revelations, therefore, apply the faith in a practical way to daily Christian living.2
Jordan Aumann, O.P., observes:
There have always been persons gifted with prophecy, as is testified by Scripture and the processes of canonization of the servants of God. Nevertheless, private revelations do not pertain to the deposit of faith, which consists of the truths contained in Scripture and Tradition under the vigilance of the Church.3
Karl Rahner, S.J., offers the following regarding private revelation:
A private revelation as a mission to the Church signifies...an imperative which within the context of a particular historical situation of the Church, points out a particular course of action from among the many possible according to the universal and public revelation as the one most urgently needing to be realized. The new feature in such a private revelation consists therefore not in its particular material elements but in the imperative marking and shifting of accentuation within the possibilities of Christianity...Hence the private revelation as a mission to the Church can be conceived as a heavenly imperative interpretation of the particular situation of the Church at this time; it answers the question as to what is most urgently to be done here and now in accordance with the general principles of the faith.4
It would be wrong, consequently, to deny the existence and proportionate importance of private revelation in the life of the Church. Such an attitude would be in opposition to the teaching of the Church and that of reputable theologians. Private revelation is yet another sign of God's overwhelming love towards us. In His great love He has given us the truths of faith as contained in public revelation. In His ongoing love for us He gives us private revelation to aid us in the living of public revelation. We should not, therefore, be indifferent to the role God has assigned to private revelation in the life of the Church.
It might be well at this point to offer a description of what occurs when a person receives an apparition and/or locution (message). Joseph de Guibert, S.J., one of the most eminent mystical theologians of this century, says:
A distinction is made between corporeal, imaginative, and intellectual visions. This distinction can also be applied to locutions. In corporeal visions and locutions there is a real perception by the external senses; the person who is seen or heard may be really present, or (in corporeal visions) the body which appears may be formed in the air, or a change may be affected at the moment the light-rays impinge on the eye, or (in corporeal locutions) a real acoustical vibration may be produced in the ears. In imaginative visions and locutions there is no perception by the external senses, but, rather, a Divine action on the imagination or the internal senses...In intellectual visions and locutions the Divine action directly affects the intellect.5
What should one's attitude be regarding alleged instances of private revelation which have not yet been the subject of official Church investigation- and perhaps never will be? First, one should always recognize that the final authority regarding private revelations rests with the Holy See of Rome, to whose judgment we should willingly submit. Secondly, one may personally act upon these messages of private revelation if a person observes that they contain nothing contrary to faith and morals and that they help bring one closer to God. Our Lord has said: "...a sound tree produces good fruit but a rotten tree bad fruit. A sound tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor a rotten tree bear good fruit." (Mt 7:17-18).
A good example of what we have just said is the situation regarding the alleged apparitions and messages at Medjugorje. The Church's investigation of this site is ongoing. No definitive decision has been made. In the meantime, the Church is not forbidding the faithful to go to Medjugorje. She is not forbidding them to personally accept the messages, presuming, again, they contain nothing contrary to faith and morals. Millions of pilgrims have gone to Medjugorje, including thousands of priests and hundreds of bishops.
An outstanding example of the importance of the role of private revelation in the life of the Church is that of Fatima. The Church has formally approved the message of Fatima as being worthy of belief. In her July 13, 1917, message, Our Blessed Mother said:
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.
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.6
There is more to the requests of Our Lady of Fatima besides those elements contained in the above message. But these aspects of the Fatima message are obviously critical ones.
Because enough people did not respond to Mary's requests made at Fatima, we did have World War II and all the horrors connected with the rise of Russian dominated Communism. Again, Fatima is a prime example of the importance the role of private revelation can assume in the life of the Church. Popes Pius XII and Paul VI made visits to Fatima, as has Pope John Paul II.

My Mother called April 5, 1995 and asked
for public gatherings on the 5ths
to help make reparation to Our Hearts
for the offenses against Them.
Six years later, April 5, 2001 I show

Messenger: The
people of the earth are offending God!!
You must pray for the people of this
earth and tell God you are sorry for
the offenses against Him.
I have been persecuted from the beginning.
When I delivered this message
December 20, 1993 I was told—
No it was too
strong.
Jesus speaks: I awoke My messenger with knocking and lights and
the words
Angels Will Read the Message.
I want My message to appear here now.
December 20, 1993 - 2:40 a.m.
Jesus speaks: Who will read the message? Angels will read the message. I will be by their side. I want the messages out. I want them out, I tell you. I want My people to hear all I am telling you. I want, not a few, but all to hear these words. They are private revelations given by Me to My people. The souls are, oh, so hungry for this one. They need to get these messages.
I am one crying in the desert. Make ready the way of the Lord. Prepare ye a path for the Master. He comes as a child in a stable. His people are asleep. Where are they and what are they doing with their busy lives? The angels will read the messages. They will rock the heavens and all will know My love and My might. From the housetops, shout this. Proclaim, "The day of the Lord is approaching. Make ready a path for Him." Will you comply with this demand to deliver a message to My people?
Time, child, is so short. You must ready all with My words of love. They are half asleep and dazed. They walk this earth with blinders on their eyes. My day will rock them off their rockers and they will know it is I with Whom they deal. No mistake will be made as to what is happening. All will see My power and My might. From the heavens shall come a sign and all will know from whence it comes. And the days that follow will be days to prepare men's hearts for My coming. I will not come unannounced. I will come with My power and My might and you will know what you will behold. Men will turn their hearts to Me with these messages. Get them out, I tell you, for their need is very great. I am patient and yet I am demanding. Ready yourself for this day of the Lord. I come as a baby into your midst, the angels sing, the choirs of heaven rejoice and you will know soon that I am very close to you all. Indeed you will know!
What awaits those in their feeble hearts! They run after such useless things when I, God, am talking in these letters. They think their world is their end. What an awakening they will have-a wide awakening!
I knock to make ready for My coming. You hear Me knock on your door in the night. Make ready this path so My people will read these letters of love. I am mighty and worthy of such praise. My people must realize My love in My intense might. What sign do you need? Do you think these messages were for your ears alone? Such power and wisdom in Rita's purse? This is not the idea. They are for all! My ease goes with you in all your undertakings to get these messages out.
Slow, too slow, I tell you. Shout My message from the housetops, that I am Lord and I am coming in your midst as a baby, but, with such might! My time is at hand. You tarry too long, My little ones. Time you do not have. This world is crazy! People are so busy at the malls. Oh, what foolish ones. I come as a baby into your midst. This is My birthday and whom do you worship? You worship idols! It is all such a sick world. Make ready My path, My little ones. Time is so short and you must not tarry any longer for into your hands I place My words for the world. They are mighty, little ones. Read them! What do you do with these words? Do you want proof? Look at Me hanging on the cross. It is out of this love of you I died a brutal death! Do you think I would not go to this extent to save the souls of My loved ones? Why would I come to this earth, give My life for all My beautiful creatures, and then, at this stage of the game, not send some mighty medicine to cure My sick little ones? You possess the mighty medicine. I mixed it with such love and I hand-deliver each message to shake My people to My love. The heavens will rock and the Son of Man will appear on a cloud and the glory of the Lord will be shown on high!
Get busy, you little people. The angels declare My words are given here. This is My gift to My people-distinct, clear letters proclaiming My love. Are you listening? Do you think I would not try everything to save My beloved ones?
Oh, I will go to any extent to save these little ones, so ornery and so stupid in their ways, so sinful in this evil world, but so precious to Me. I will come in My glory and I want every last soul.
I am God. Why would I not speak to you? I wait for you. I wait, I wait, but you are all so blind and dense. What you do is so silly. Your ways here have become sick and your hearts have become hard. But shout it from the housetops! I loved you to My death! I love you all in your sickness. I want you united under the mantle of My mother, praying and honoring God.
America, turn yourselves around before it is too late. Come and heed My harkening. Come, come, My children. Time is so short and a lot of mending must be done in your hearts. You have hardened them and now they must come back to life. Only I can give you this life in your hearts.
Heed My words here. I am gentle and kind in heart. My heart is a heart of love. I have hand-delivered these messages to My people and you are My delivery boys. Get them going, little ones. You tarry too much.
My gift to My people is My love this Christmas. I am showering all at this Center with grace this season. The devotion there pleases Me, but more must flock and they will be changed from hardened hearts to hearts for God. I am God, little ones. I came and I died a brutal death. I am calling to you all to deliver this now. Make this your top priority so they will hear My message of love and know the love I have for them. Do not tarry. Do this today, little ones.

Jesus speaks: How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things, when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the cross.
Do you know I am truly present there? Do you know that God waits every day for you in the tabernacle? Do you comprehend even a minute amount of My love? You will never on earth know how I love you.
I, Jesus, truly the Son of God, came to earth a man and suffered a brutal death for love of you. I love you so much! I remain with you this day. I long for your love. I want you to come and be with Me in front of the tabernacle. I wait, I yearn for you to come and whisper your love to Me. I am a Person and I love you this day with such an ardent, on-fire love. No human could ever compare a speck to My love for you.
I wait, little ones, in the tabernacle. I wait for you to come and receive Me in Communion. I want you to want Me so much that you cannot wait to come and receive Me. I want to be the love, the Center of your life!
I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am writing to you this day. I want to possess your very soul and live in you. I have all you need, sweet ones. Oh, you are so blind! I long for your union with Me. I wrote the book on love. I instituted it, yet you go to the world for your love and do not even come to Me! Oh, I love you, little ones. Little ones, beloved of the Father, loved by the Holy Spirit, mothered by My very own mother, what more can I say? The rest is up to you!
I give you your will with such love and I want your love, freely given. I am God. What do you think you could ever need that I do not give you? I am the Savior of this world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I am God. I have all you ever will need!
Surrender this life to Me. Pray My prayer for union with Me. I want to possess your soul and operate from your very being. I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am Who am. I died and rose on the third day.
Harken to My call, harken to My pleading. Spend your days in love with Me. Nothing matters unless it is rooted in Me and rooted in My love. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I love you with the tenderest love. I am waiting this day for you, My beloved one. Come to Me for I am the tenderest of all hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Jesus speaks: I am from above, you are from below.
How can I write to you when your focus is in
catching Me and you will not even help
My messenger that delivers a message.
Mark 12: 1-12
He went on to speak to them in parables, ‘A man planted a vineyard; he fenced it round, dug out a trough for the winepress and built a tower; then he leased it to tenants and went abroad. When the time came, he sent a servant to the tenants to collect from them his share of the produce of the vineyard. But they seized the man, thrashed him and sent him away empty handed. Next he sent another servant to them; him they beat about the head and treated shamefully. And he sent another and him they killed; then a number of others, and they thrashed some and killed the rest. He had still someone left: his beloved son. He sent him to them last of all, thinking, "They will respect my son." But those tenants said to each other, "This is the heir. Come on, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours." So they seized him and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard. Now what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and make an end of the tenants and give the vineyard to others. Have you not read this text of scripture:
The stone which the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
this is the Lord’s doing,
and we marvel at it ?’And they would have liked to arrest him, because they realised that the parable was aimed at them, but they were afraid of the crowds. So they left him alone and went away.

Warning
Excerpt from March 7, 1994 from Blue Book II
Busy yourself for your day is at hand and you will know My might! I will shake the earth and you will listen. Then you will listen, but where were you when I gave you forewarning? You are waiting for the big boom. I am calling you now to listen to Me here.
Play your safe game. Waste your time. I am God and I am talking to you. You do it your way. I sit with the answers. Every answer is given here. I want My beloved ones to read these letters. I grow so tired of your foolishness. I am God and you are busy. Die to yourself, child. I showed you the way. I lead. You must follow Me! ...
What do I do to shake you? I, in all My might, can rock you off your rockers. I try to prepare you but you are too busy. Hold on to your last piece of dust and watch it go up in your face!
I am Jesus Christ, Son of God and I write to you and who pays heed here? This should tell you of your attachment to worldly things. You want proof. You look the other way. I am God and you contain the mighty medicine for this sick world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. Do you listen? Look at Me, dying on the cross. I gave My all for you. Do you not think I would send a mighty medicine this day for you? You are so blind. You do not listen.
I, God, talk here to you this very day.

Excerpt from March 13, 1994 from Blue Book II
You must tell them how I wait for them. I wait. I want them to come and I will give them such love! Tell them, Rita, tell them! Your discontent is from what emotions I give you and you keep them inside. I want all to know Me and My love. I am crying out to you, little one. Tell them, tell them. Do not waste any time. I am crying out for you to spread this message. I want you to tell all of My love and how I am waiting. Emotion! Emotion! I am crying out to you in your heart! ...
Ready yourself for a big boom. No one is listening. I am crying out to you. Prepare your brothers. They are in darkness. Their souls are dying inside of them. Some come to Me with such indifference in Communion.

Do not take offense to the word Mud —

Read about the blind man.
Read about the mud in his eyes.
Quit looking to catch Me. Read to understand

You focus on My English.
The very words I use, you question and

Prayer of Jesus to the Father before He was arrested
John 17: 14-19
I passed your word on to them,
and the world hated them,
because they belong to the world
no more than I belong to the world.
I am not asking you
to remove them from the world,
but to protect them from the Evil One.
They do not belong to the world
any more than I belong to the world.
Consecrate them in the truth;
your word is truth.
As you sent me into the world,
I have sent them into the world,
and for their sake I consecrate myself
so that they too
may be consecrated in truth.
John 16: 12-33
I still have many things to say to you
but they would be too much for you
to bear now.
However, when the Spirit of truth comes
he will lead you to the complete truth,
since he will not be speaking
of his own accord,
but will say only what he has been told;
and he will reveal to you
the things to come.
He will glorify me,
since all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.
Everything the Father has is mine;
that is why I said:
all he reveals to you
will be taken from what is mine.Jesus to return very soon
In a short time you will no longer see me, and then a short time later
you will see me again.Then some of his disciples said to one another, ‘What does he mean, "In a short time you will no longer see me, and then a short time later you will see me again," and, "I am going to the Father"? What is this "short time"? We don’t know what he means.’ Jesus knew that they wanted to question him, so he said, ‘You are asking one another what I meant by saying, "In a short time you will no longer see me, and then a short time later you will see me again."
'In all truth I tell you,
you will be weeping and wailing
while the world will rejoice;
you will be sorrowful,
but your sorrow will turn to joy.
A woman in childbirth suffers,
because her time has come;
but when she has given birth to the child
she forgets the suffering
in her joy that a human being
has been born into the world.
So it is with you: you are sad now,
but I shall see you again,
and your hearts will be full of joy,
and that joy no one shall take from you.
When that day comes,
you will not ask me any questions.
In all truth I tell you,
anything you ask from the Father
he will grant in my name.
Until now you have not asked
anything in my name.
Ask and you will receive,
and so your joy will be complete.
I have been telling you these things
in veiled language.
The hour is coming
when I shall no longer speak to you
in veiled language
but tell you about the Father
in plain words.
When that day comes
you will ask in my name;
and I do not say
that I shall pray to the Father for you,
because the Father himself loves you
for loving me,
and believing that I came from God.
I came from the Father
and have come into the world
and now I am leaving the world
to go to the Father.'His disciples said, 'Now you are speaking plainly and not using veiled language. Now we see that you know everything and need not wait for questions to be put into words; because of this we believe that you came from God.' Jesus answered them:
Do you believe at last?
Listen; the time will come--
indeed it has come already--
when you are going to be scattered,
each going his own way
and leaving me alone.
And yet I am not alone,
because the Father is with me.
I have told you all this
so that you may find peace in me.
In the world you will have hardship,
but be courageous:
I have conquered the world.
December 31, 1993 - Early Morning
Jesus speaks: I am the way, the truth and the life. He who abides in Me will have the light of life. I am Jesus, Son of God. I am the most important thing you do every day. If you are tired, then you are focusing on the wrong things. Be ready, for your Savior awaits you and you are His messenger.
I am Jesus, Savior of the World. I am ready for you. Listen and write My words. I am the light that shines in this dark world. I come to you in the night and you know it is Me. I come in such silence and no one knows that I am surrounded by angels. No one knows so many things that you do not see. Faith is the answer for My brothers. Faith is the answer for you, for when you do not see you still believe. When there is no proof, you are still absolutely sure that I am here. This faith does not go unrewarded. Where there are no proofs, you believe in Me. Blessed are they who have not seen and yet believe.
What I reveal to you here, I do in your heart. My connectedness to you is in your heart. I do not need the senses. Man wants God to be like them. Do not ask to have God explained in human terms. This, My child, is surely in the realm of the spirit. Things of God are not like the things of man. I communicate to you as I am. Others want you to explain to them just how it is.
Your human minds do not fathom the ways of God. To ask My messenger to answer your human questions is to ask her to tell you why stars shine, why a baby is conceived in the mother. In the end there is an element of mystery which is beyond words. Don't ask her to tell you why and how she writes these letters. She writes these letters by the power I have. She writes these letters for Me. She writes these letters because I am dictating them to her for you. She sits, half asleep, and writes such clear lessons in faith. And, you My brothers, ask for explanations? I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I am He Whose boot strap you are unworthy to tie, yet I make Myself so personal to you in Holy Communion. But, little ones, I am God. You cannot comprehend one little speck of My ways. Your human mind is so limited. Do not try to make sense of Me in human terms. I write these letters to bridge a gap between you and Me.
I am this personal to you, but My ways are not your ways and, though I try to make you understand some of the mystery, you cannot in your humanness explain the ways of God. Go ahead and try, child. It is a waste of your time. Do not ask My messengers for explanations that you will understand. You will not ever on this earth understand any of what is happening here. My ways are the ways of God. What is happening here is a miracle.
You ask too many questions and you, in your humanness, expect too many answers. I am the God of your Fathers. They never knew such a God. I was the same God to them and I spoke to similar people to open up Myself to them, but you have been given a great, great gift indeed in these letters. Do you question and question or do you study and become wise. Study My words and accept all I give you with faith.
Be blessed for the faith you show. Your faith will save you in this sick world. I am here, all right. I am in the Eucharist, Body and Soul. Would you like for Me to explain the real presence. How can I, in your earthly form, explain such things to you? Wake up. I give you a gift and you spend your time asking how, why, where, when. I give you this day a gift of My love for you. You will not understand the ways of God but, from these letters, I will become as real as the nose on your face. You can busy yourself asking questions and miss the miracle of My coming to you in these letters.
I come to you, you who are hungry and thirsty and you are waiting for more. To those who listened, much was imparted to them. To those who remained blind, nothing was gained. They try to explain God in human terms. I cannot be explained to your liking, My child. To do so is just silly.
I am God. I am Who Am. I am the Son of God. I am Human, but I am also Divine. You will not understand My divinity. You are a human. Be glad for what you are given. Pray for faith. So many souls will be lost for their stubbornness to have every situation explained. I will not ever be explained to you. If you do not go out on a limb, you will miss the sunset. The glories that you need to seek are to be seen at the end of the limb.
You do not know why, in your heaviness, the limb does not break. You will not understand, in your humanness, My ways. I impart to you many gifts. Do not try to explain My ways in your human ways. It is a futile task. It is impossible. It is not human. It is divine. Accept this miracle on faith and reap such a reward! God-made-man talks to you, not to the messenger. Talks to you! Do you want an explanation? You will not understand My divinity in your humanness, so quit trying and get about the job of listening to My words with your heart.
I will work in your hearts in your quiet time with Me. You do not do this work, either. The more you look for explanations with Me, the more you miss Me. My ways are a mystery. I impart such little glimpses of Myself to you. They are in your hands, to burst forth later. Now you busy yourself with the work at hand. Come in silence and make yourself selfless. I will be the giver of many gifts. If you decide what gifts I will give you, you have missed the boat entirely. I give to you as you need.
You are My babies. Babies do not tell their mothers of their needs. They wait and they are fed. They wait and they are changed. They wait and they are loved. Wait on the Lord. What you get is coming from Him Who loves you. I know all things. I know your needs. I am like the loving mother. I am God. I know your every need. Come and soak in the sunlight. Quit your questioning. Quit your asking for such things that you may never need. Turn yourself over like little babies, freshly born. They have soft little cries and are very dependent on their mothers. Come with your little cries but know that I, in the end, will give you all you need.
Don't try to control Me. I am God. Who are you to come and think you will tell God what you need. I see the whole picture and I comprehend it as God. You see as in a tunnel and think you know so much. Come and make yourself putty in My hands. Remain formless and unattached. Remain a baby. Take all I give and do not ask questions. It is in your submissiveness to Me that you grow in Me. I dwell in you and I can operate from you. In your willfulness, I cannot come in. How can God act in a soul who is in control. If you are operating, I cannot.
Oh, you have much to learn, but it is revealed in these letters how to become creatures of God. Most of your work is in submission to Me. Your biggest job is to die to yourself and live in Me. I am all powerful and I want to dwell in your breast. I want to possess your soul. I want to impart to you My love. I want to fill you to the brim with the things of God. All that is in the way of My working in you is yourself. If you hold onto self, you get yourself. To be of Me, you must let go of yourself. Come to My altar and sit silently before Me. Let Me work in your soul. Look for Me.
I give to you according to your needs. I answer you according to the things of God. I give you gifts that you never knew possible, because your mind cannot imagine the things of God. Do not limit your soul by being in charge. The soul is in the image of God and God must deal with it. To try to feed your soul humanness is useless. Only God can feed the soul. Come to Him and let Him have full reign in your hearts. Don't try to decide what you need. You don't know of the needs of a soul. God is so good and so loving and He wants to give you what you need. Surrender to Him and be open to all He wants to do in you.

John 15: 23-25
Anyone who hates me hates my Father.
If I had not performed
such works among them
as no one else has ever done,
they would be blameless;
but as it is, in spite of what they have seen,
they hate both me and my Father.
But all this was only to fulfil
the words written in their Law:
They hated me without reason.

Messenger: Soon after they crucified Him to His death.
March 2, 1994 5:15 a.m.
Jesus speaks: Dear child, I love you so much I died and gave My life for you. If you tell anyone anything, tell them I am a person. When people realize how I am truly a person on fire for love of them, then they will be able to get closer to Me.
I am truly a person. The same Jesus Who died on the cross lives in the little host in the tabernacle.
The world is so blind! My heart is aching so! I come to tell you in this message of My love for them. Please tell them I am aching so for I love them!
Your job is to preach of My intense, intimate love. You live for love of Me alone. Do not think about what you are doing. You operate for My love only.

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.

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the
Bridegroom of the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.
A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the MassLet 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.

DAILY NOVENA PRAYERS
Opening Prayer
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Dear Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus, in union with Him in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit. We come to You united to the Child Jesus of Good Health and the Infant of Prague. We come to You in the perfect, sinless heart of Our Mother Mary, asking her powerful intercession, uniting ourselves to her holy tears. We come to You united to all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory.
Prayer for Holy Spirit
We pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on us, to be baptized by the Holy Spirit, that He will descend mightily on us as He did on the Apostles at Pentecost. That the Holy Spirit will transform us from fear to fearlessness and that He will give us courage to do all the Father is asking of us to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. We pray for the Holy Spirit to descend mightily on the Jesuits and the Poor Clares on the Shepherds of Christ leaders and members and on the whole Body of Christ and the world.
Protection by the Blood of Jesus
We pray that the Blood of Jesus will be spread on us, everyone in our families, and the Shepherds of Christ Movement, that we will be able to move steadfastly ahead and be protected from the evil one.
Healing
We pray for healing in body, mind, and soul and generational healing in ourselves, in all members in our families, and in all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, the Jesuit Community, the Poor Clares, the Body of Christ, and the world.
Prayer for Strength and Light
We adore You, oh Holy Spirit. Give us strength, give us light, console us. We give ourselves entirely to You. Oh Spirit of light and grace, we want to only do the will of the Father. Enlighten us that we may live always in the Father's will.
Eternal Spirit fill us with Your Divine Wisdom that we may comprehend more fully insight into Your Divine Mysteries.
Give us lights, Oh Holy Spirit that we may know God. Work within the heart, the spiritual womb of the Virgin Mary, to form us more and more into the image of Jesus.
Prayer to Be One with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit
We long for You, Oh Spirit of Light, we long to know God, we want to be one with Him, our Divine God. We want to be one with the Father, know Him as a Person most intimately. We want to know the beloved One, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and live and dwell in Him at all times, every moment of our lives. We want to be one with You, Oh Spirit of Light, that You move in us in our every breath.
Prayer to Be One in Jesus
Let us experience life in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, so we can say as Saint Paul, "I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me...." Let us live, united to the Mass, all through the day being one in Him. Let us be able to love and know in this elevated state of oneness with our God. We long for Thee, oh beauteous God, we love You, we love You, we love You. We praise You, worship You, honor You, adore You, and thank You, our beloved God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Prayer to Dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
We seek to be one in God, to live and dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, our little heaven on earth, to experience life in the all perfect, pure, sinless heart of our Mother. We want the Holy Spirit to move in us and to be united to Jesus as the Bridegroom of our souls and be a most perfect sacrifice offered to the Father at every moment as we unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass around the world to help in the salvation of souls.
Prayer for the Holy Spirit and His Gifts
Come Holy Spirit, come, come into our hearts, inflame all people with the fire of Your love.
Leader: Send forth Your Spirit
and all will be reborn.
All: And You will renew the face of the earth.
We pray for the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, we ask for perfection in our souls to make us holy, holy souls likened to God.
Dear Holy Spirit, we give ourselves to You soul and body. We ask You to give us the Spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord.
Prayer for the Word Alive in Our Hearts
We know, dear Holy Spirit, the Word in His human nature was brought forth within the womb of the woman. We pray that His word will be brought forth in our hearts as He lives and dwells in us. We want the incarnation to go on in our lives. Dear Holy Spirit, work in us.
Little Prayers to the Holy Spirit
Dear Holy Spirit, help us not to be ignorant or indifferent or weak, help us to be strong with the love of God.
Dear Holy Spirit, please pray for our needs for us.
Dear Holy Spirit, help us to respect God and to avoid sin. Help us to live in the Father's will.
Dear Holy Spirit, help us to keep Your commandments and to respect authority. Help us to love all things as You will us to love them. Help us to want to pray and always serve God with the greatest love. Help us to know the truth. Help us to have the gift of faith, hope, and love. Help us to know what is right and what is wrong.
A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me.

Meditations Nine Days
Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessing.
Then I heard all the living things in creation-everything that lives in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, crying:
To the One seated on the throne and to the Lamb, be all praise, honour, glory and power, for ever and ever.
And the four living creatures said, 'Amen'; and the elders prostrated themselves to worship.

NOVENA DE ORACIONES DIARIAS
Oración de Apertura
En el Nombre del Padre y del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo. Amén
Padre querido, acudimos a ti en el nombre de Jesús, en unión con él en el Santo Sacrificio de la Misa, en el Espíritu Santo. Venimos a ti unidos al Niño Jesús de la Buena Salud y al Santo Niño de Praga. Acudimos a ti en el puro e inmaculado corazón de Nuestra Madre María, pidiendo su intercesión poderosa y uniéndonos a sus lágrimas santas. Venimos a ti unidos a todos los ángeles y santos, y a las almas del purgatorio.
Oración para el Espíritu Santo
Oramos para que el Espíritu Santo se derrame sobre nosotros, para ser bautizados en el Espíritu Santo, para que él descienda con su poder sobre nosotros, como lo hizo sobre los apóstoles en Pentecostés. Que el Espíritu Santo nos transforme del temor a la valentía, y que nos dé fuerza para realizar todo lo que el Padre nos está pidiendo para ayudar a implantar el Reinado del Sagrado Corazón y el triunfo del Corazón Inmaculado de María. Oramos para que el Espíritu Santo descienda sobre todo el Cuerpo Místico de Cristo y el mundo.
Protección mediante la Sangre de Jesús
Pedimos que la Sangre de Jesús sea derramada sobre nosotros, en nuestras familias, y en el Movimiento Pastores de Cristo, para que podamos seguir adelante con firmeza y estar protegidos del maligno.
Curación
Oramos por la curación de cuerpo, mente, y alma, por la curación generacional en nosotros mismos, en todos los miembros de nuestras familias, y en todos los miembros del Movimiento Pastores de Cristo, la Comunidad Jesuita, las Clarisas, el Cuerpo de Cristo, y todo el mundo.
Oración para pedir fortaleza y luz
Te adoramos, Señor Espíritu Santo. Danos fortaleza, danos luz, consuélanos. Nosotros nos entregamos enteramente a ti. ¡Oh Espíritu de luz y gracia, queremos realizar solamente la voluntad del Padre! Ilumínanos para que podamos vivir siempre cumpliendo Su voluntad.
Espíritu Eterno, llénanos de tu Divina Sabiduría para que podamos entender más a fondo el conocimiento hacia tus Divinos Misterios.
Danos luces, Oh Santo Espíritu, para conocer a Dios. Actúa dentro de nuestro corazón para formarnos cada vez más a imagen de Jesús.
Oración para ser uno con Dios, Padre, Himo y Espírity Santo
Oh Espíritu de Luz anhelamos por ti, anhelamos conocer a Dios, queremos ser uno con él, nuestro Divino Señor. Queremos ser uno con el Padre, conocerlo íntimamente como persona. Queremos conocer al Amado, al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, y vivir y habitar en él siempre, cada momento de nuestras vidas. Queremos ser uno Contigo, Señor Espíritu de Luz, que te mueves en nosotros con cada respiración nuestra.
Oración para ser uno con Jesús
Permítenos, Señor, experimentar la vida en el Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, para que podamos decir como San Pablo, "Yo he sido crucificado con Cristo y a pesar de esto estoy vivo, pero ya no soy Yo, sino Cristo viviendo en mi..." Permítenos vivir, unidos a la Misa, siendo uno con él durante todo el día. Déjanos ser capaces de amar y conocer, en ese alto nivel de unidad con nuestro Dios. Te deseamos, oh Dios de la belleza, te queremos, te amamos, te adoramos. Te damos gracias, te alabamos, te glorificamos, nuestro Dios amado, Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo.
Oración para habitar en los Corazones de Jesús y María
Buscamos ser uno en Dios, vivir y habitar en los Corazones de Jesús y María, nuestro pequeño cielo en la tierra, para experimentar la vida en el Corazón puro y perfecto de Nuestra Madre. Queremos que el Espíritu Santo se mueva en nosotros y que seamos unidos a Jesús como el esposo de nuestras almas y que seamos un sacrificio muy perfecto ofrecido al Padre en cada momento, mientras nos unimos al Santo Sacrificio de la Misa celebrada en todo el mundo para ayudar a la salvación de almas.
Oración para el Espíritu Santo y Sus Dones
Ven Espíritu Santo, ven a nuestros corazones, y enciende en ellos el fuego de tu amor.
Líder: Envía, Señor, tu Espíritu y todos renacerán
Todos: Y Tu renovarás la faz de la tierra.
Oramos y pedimos los siete dones del Espíritu Santo, suplicamos perfección en nuestras almas para hacerlas santas, almas santas semejantes a Dios.
Querido Espíritu Santo, nos entregamos a ti en alma y cuerpo. Te pedimos que nos des el Espíritu de Sabiduría, Entendimiento, Consejo, Fortaleza, Ciencia, Piedad, y Temor de Dios.
Oración para que la Palabra Viva en Nuestros Corazones
Sabemos, querido Espíritu Santo, que la Palabra en Su naturaleza humana nació del vientre de la mujer. Oramos para que Su palabra vea la luz dentro de nuestros corazones, puesto que el Señor vive y permanece en nosotros. Queremos que la encarnación se realice en nuestras vidas. Querido Espíritu Santo, haz tu obra en nosotros.
Oraciones cortas al Espíritu Santo
Querido Espíritu Santo, ayúdanos a no ser ignorantes o indiferentes o débiles. Ayúdanos a ser fuertes con el amor de Dios.
Querido Espíritu Santo, por favor pide por nuestras necesidades.
Querido Espíritu Santo, ayúdanos a respetar a Dios y a evitar el pecado. Ayúdanos a vivir según la voluntad del Padre.
Querido Espíritu Santo ayúdanos a guardar tus mandamientos y a respetar la autoridad. Ayúdanos a amar a todas las cosas como tu quieres que las amemos. Ayúdanos a desear orar y servir siempre a Dios con el mayor amor. Ayúdanos a conocer la verdad. Ayúdanos a disponer siempre del regalo de la fe, la esperanza y el amor. Ayúdanos a discernir siempre lo correcto y lo erróneo.
Una Oración para intimidad con el Cordero, el Esposo del Alma
Cordero de Dios, que quitas el pecado del mundo, ven y actúa íntimamente en mi alma. Yo me entrego a ti y te pido la gracia de liberarme, para existir solo para ti y que tu actúes lo más íntimamente en mi alma. Tú eres el Iniciador. Yo soy el alma que espera tus favores mientras obras en mí. Te amo. Te adoro. Te alabo. Ven y toma posesión de mi alma con tu Gracia Divina, mientras te experimento lo más íntimamente.
Primer Período
Meditaciones para Nueve Días
Romanos 8:14-17
Todos aquellos a los que guía el Espíritu de Dios son hijos e hijas de Dios. Entonces no vuelvan al miedo; ustedes no recibieron un espíritu de esclavos, sino el espíritu propio de los hijos, que nos permite gritar: ¡Abba!, o sea: ¡Papá! El Espíritu asegura a nuestro espíritu que somos hijos de Dios. Siendo hijos, son también herederos; la herencia de Dios será nuestra y la compartiremos con Cristo. Y si hemos sufrido con él, estaremos con él también en la Gloria.
Romanos 8:5-9
Los que viven según la carne van a lo que es de la carne, y los que viven según el Espíritu van a las cosas del espíritu. Pero no hay sino muerte en lo que ansia la carne, mientras que el espíritu anhela vida y paz. Los proyectos de la carne están en contra de Dios, pues la carne no se somete a la ley de Dios, y ni siquiera puede someterse. Por eso los que viven según la carne no pueden agradar a Dios. Ustedes ya no están en la carne, sino que viven en el espíritu, pues el Espíritu de Dios habita en ustedes. Si alguno no tuviera el Espíritu de Cristo, éste no le pertenecería.
1 Juan 4:12-16
A Dios no lo ha visto nadie jamás; pero si nos amamos unos a otros, Dios está entre nosotros y su amor da todos sus frutos entre nosotros. Y ¿cómo sabemos que permanecemos en Dios y él en nosotros? Por que nos ha comunicado su Espíritu. Pero también hemos visto nosotros y declaramos que el Padre envió a su Hijo como Salvador de el mundo. Quien reconozca que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios, Dios permanece en él y él en Dios. Por nuestra parte, hemos conocido el amor que Dios nos tiene, y hemos creído en él. Dios es amor: el que permanece en el amor permanece en Dios y Dios en él.
1 Juan 4:17-21
Cuando el amor alcanza en nosotros su perfección, miramos con confianza al día del juicio, porque ya somos en este mundo como es Él. En el amor no hay temor. El amor perfecto echa fuera el temor, pues hay temor donde hay castigo. Quien teme no conoce el amor perfecto. Amemos, pues, ya que él nos amó primero. Si uno dice {Yo amor a Dios}, y odia a su hermano, es un mentiroso. Si no ama a su hermano, a quien ve, no puede amar a Dios, a quien no ve. Pues éste es el mandamiento que recibimos de él; el que ama a Dios, ama también a su hermano.
1 Juan 4:7-11
Queridos míos, amémonos unos a otros, porque el amor viene de Dios. Todo el que ama ha nacido de Dios y conoce a Dios. El que no ama no ha conocido a Dios, pues Dios es amor. Miren cómo se manifestó el amor de Dios entre nosotros: Dios envió a su Hijo único a este mundo para que tengamos vida por medio de él. En esto está el amor: no es que nosotros hayamos amado a Dios, si no que él nos amo primero y envió a su Hijo como víctima por nuestros pecados. Queridos, si Dios nos amó de esta manera, también nosotros debemos amarnos mutuamente.
Hechos de los Apóstoles 1:1-5
En mi primer libro, querido Teófilo, hablé de todo lo que Jesús comenzó a hacer y enseñar. Al final del libro, Jesús, lleno del Espíritu Santo, daba instrucciones a los apóstoles que había elegido y era llevado al cielo. De hecho, se presentó a ellos después de su pasión y les dio numerosas pruebas de que vivía. Durante cuarenta días se dejó ver por ellos y les habló del Reino de Dios. En una ocasión en que estaba reunido con ellos les dijo que no se alejaran de Jerusalén y que esperaran lo que el Padre había prometido. {Ya les hablé al respecto, les dijo: Juan bautizó con agua, pero ustedes serán bautizados en el Espíritu Santo dentro de pocos días.}
Hechos de los Apóstoles 1:6-9
Los que estaban presentes le preguntaron: {Señor, ¿es ahora cuando vas a restablecer el Reino de Israel?} Les respondió: {No les corresponde a ustedes conocer los plazos y los pasos que solamente el Padre tenía autoridad para decidir. Pero recibirán la fuerza del Espíritu Santo cuando venga sobre ustedes, y serán mis testigos en Jerusalén, en toda Judea, en Samaría y hasta los extremos de la tierra.} Dicho esto, Jesús fue levantado ante sus ojos y una nube lo ocultó de su vista. Ellos seguían mirando fijamente al cielo mientras se alejaba. Pero de repente vieron a su lado a dos hombres vestidos de blanco, que les dijeron: {Amigos galileos, ¿qué hacen ahí mirando al cielo? Este Jesús que les ha llevado volverá de la misma manera que ustedes lo han visto ir al cielo.}
Hechos de los Apóstoles 1:12-14
Entonces volvieron a Jerusalén desde el monte llamado de los Olivos, que dista de la ciudad como media hora de camino. Entraron en la ciudad y subieron a la habitación superior de la casa donde se alojaban. Allí estaba Pedro, Juan, Santiago y Andrés, Felipe y Tomás, Bartolomé y Mateo, Santiago, hijo de Alfeo, Simón el Zelotes, y Judas, hijo de Santiago. Todos ellos perseveraban juntos en la oración en compañía de algunas mujeres, de María, la madre de Jesús, y de sus hermanos.
Hechos de los Apóstoles 2:1-4
Cuando llegó el día de Pentecostés, estaban todos reunidos en el mismo lugar. De repente vino del cielo un ruido, como el de una violenta ráfaga de viento, que llenó toda la casa donde estaban, y aparecieron unas lenguas como de fuego que se repartieron y fueron posándose sobre cada uno de ellos. Todos quedaron llenos del Espíritu Santo y comenzaron a hablar en otras lenguas, según el Espíritu les concedía que se expresaran.
Segundo Período
Meditaciones para Nueve Días
Juan 14:21-31
El que guarda mis mandamientos después de recibirlos, ése es el que me ama. El que me ama a mi será amado por mi Padre, y yo también lo amaré y me manifestaré a él.}
Juda, no el Iscariote, le preguntó: {Señor, ¿por qué hablas de mostrarte a nosotros y no al mundo?}
Jesús le respondió: {Si alguien me ama, guardará mis palabras, y mi Padre lo amará. Entonces vendremos a él para poner nuestra morada en él.
El que no me ama no guarda mis palabras; pero el mensaje que escuchan no es mío, sino del Padre que me ha enviado.
Les he dicho todo esto mientras estaba con ustedes. En adelante el Espíritu Santo, el Intérprete que el Padre les va a enviar en mi Nombre, les enseñara todas las cosas y les recordará todo lo que yo les he dicho.
Les dejo la paz, les doy mi paz. La paz que yo les doy no es como la que da el mundo. Que no haya en ustedes angustia ni miedo. Saben que les dije: Me voy, pero volveré a ustedes. Si me amaran, se alegrarían de que me vaya al Padre, pues el Padre es más grande que yo.
Les he dicho estas cosas ahora, antes de qué sucedan, para que cuando sucedan ustedes crean. Ya no hablaré mucho más con ustedes, pues se está acercando el que gobierna este mundo. En mi no encontrará nada suyo, pero con esto sabrá el mundo que yo amo al Padre y que hago lo que el Padre me ha encomendado hacer. Ahora levántense y vayámonos de aquí.
Juan 17:11-26
Yo ya no estoy más en el mundo, pero ellos se quedan en el mundo, mientras yo vuelvo a ti. Padre Santo, guárdanos en ese Nombre tuyo que a mí me diste, para que sean uno como nosotros.
Cuando estaba con ellos, yo los cuidaba en tu Nombre, pues tú me los habías encomendado, y ninguno de ellos se perdió, excepto el que llevaba en sí la perdición, pues en esto había de cumplirse la Escritura. Pero ahora que voy a ti, y estando todavía en el mundo digo estas cosas para que tengan en ellos la plenitud de mi alegría.
Yo les he dado tu mensaje y el mundo los ha odiado porque no son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo. No te pido que los saques del mundo, sino que los defiendas del Maligno. ellos no son del mundo, como tampoco yo soy del mundo.
Conságralos mediante la verdad: tu palabra es verdad. Así como tú me has enviado al mundo, así yo también los envío al mundo; por ellos ofrezco el sacrificio, para que también ellos sean consagrados en la verdad.
No ruego sólo por éstos, sino también por todos aquellos que creerán en mi por su palabra. Que todos sean uno, como tú, Padre, estás en mi y yo en ti. Que ellos también sean uno en nosotros, para que el mundo crea que tú me has enviado.
Yo les he dado la Gloria que tú me diste, para que sean uno como nosotros somos uno: yo en ellos y tú en mi. Así alcanzarán la perfección en la unidad, y el mundo conocerá que tú me has enviado y que yo los he amado a ellos como tú me amas a mi.
Padre, ya que me los has dado, quiero que estén conmigo donde yo estoy y que contemplen la Gloria que tú ya me das, porque me amabas antes que comenzara el mundo.
Padre justo, el mundo no te ha conocido, pero yo te conocía, y éstos a su vez han conocido que tú me has enviado. Yo les he dado a conocer tu Nombre y se lo seguiré dando a conocer, para que el amor con que tú me amas esté en ellos y también yo esté en ellos.}
I Corintios 15:20-28
Pero no, Cristo resucitó de entre los muertos, siendo el primero y primicia de los que se durmieron.
Un hombre trajo la muerte, y un hombre también trae la resurrección de entre los muertos. Todos mueren por estar incluidos en Adán, y todos también recibirán la vida en Cristo.
Pero se respeta el lugar de cada uno: Cristo es primero, y más tarde les tocará a los suyos, cuando Cristo nos visite.
Luego llegará el fin. Cristo entregará a Dios Padre el Reino después de haber desarmado todas las estructuras, autoridades y fuerzas del universo. Está dicho que debe ejercer el poder hasta que haya puesto a todos sus enemigos bajo sus pies, y él ultimo de los enemigos sometidos será la muerte. Dios pondrá todas las cosas bajo sus pies. Todo le será sometido, pero es evidente que se excluye a Aquel que le somete el universo. Y cuando el universo le quede sometido, el Hijo se someterá a Aquel que le sometió todas las cosas, para que en adelante Dios sea todo en todos.
Apocalipsis 3:1-3,12,16-19
Escribe al ángel de la Iglesia de Sardes: Así habla el que tiene los siete espíritus de Dios y las siete estrellas:
Conozco tus obras; te creen vivo, pero estás muerto. Despiértate y reanima lo que todavía no ha muerto, pues tus obras me parecen muy mediocres a la luz de Dios. Recuerda lo que recibiste y oíste, ponlo en práctica y arrepiéntete. Por que si no te mantienes despierto vendré como un ladrón, sin que sepas a qué hora te sorprenderé.
Al vencedor lo pondré como columna en el Templo de mi Dios, de donde nadie lo sacará. Grabaré en él el nombre de mi Dios, el nombre de la ciudad que baja del cielo, la nueva Jerusalén que viene de Dios, y mi nombre nuevo.
Pero porque eres tibio y no frío o caliente, voy a vomitarte de mi boca.
Tu piensas: {Soy rico, tengo de todo, nada me falta}. Y no te das cuenta de que eres un infeliz, digno de compasión, pobre, ciego y desnudo. Te aconsejo que me compres oro refinado para que te hagas rico, ropas blancas para que te cubras y no tengas que avergonzarte de tu desnudez; por último pídeme un colirio que te pondrás en los ojos para ver. Yo reprendo y corrijo a los que amo. Vamos, anímate y conviértete.
Apocalipsis 5:9-14
Y cantaban este cántico nuevo:
Eres digno de tomar el libro
y de abrir sus sellos,
porque fuiste degollado
y con tu sangre compraste para
Dios
hombres de toda raza, lengua,
pueblo y nación .
Los hiciste reino y sacerdotes
para nuestro Dios,
y reinarán sobre la tierra.
Yo seguía mirando, y oí en el clamor de una multitud
de ángeles que estaban alrededor del trono, de los Seres Vivientes y de los Ancianos,
Eran millones, centenares de millones que gritaban a toda voz:
Digno es el Cordero degollado
de recibir poder y riqueza,
sabiduría y fuerza,
honor, gloria y alabanza.
Y les respondían todas las criaturas del cielo, de
la tierra, del mar y del mundo de abajo. Oí que decían:
Al que está sentado en el trono y
al Cordero,
la alabanza, el honor, la gloria y el
poder
por los siglos de los siglos.
Y los cuatro Seres Vivientes decían {Amén}, mientras los Ancianos se postraban y adoraban.
Apocalipsis 7:14-17
Yo contesté: {Señor, tú lo sabes.} El Anciano me replicó: {Esos son los que vienen de la gran persecución; han lavado y blanqueado sus vestiduras con la sangre del Cordero. Por eso están ante el trono de Dios y le sirven día y noche en su templo; el que está sentado en el trono extenderá su tienda sobre ellos; ya no sufrirán más hambre ni sed ni se verán agobiados por el sol ni por viento abrasador alguno, porque el Cordero que está junto al trono será su pastor y los guiará a los manantiales de las aguas de la vida; y Dios enjugará las lágrimas de sus ojos.}
Apocalipsis 12:1-8
Apareció en el cielo una señal grandiosa: una mujer, vestida del sol, con la luna bajo sus pies y una corona de doce estrellas sobre su cabeza. Está embarazada y grita de dolor, porque le ha llegado la hora de lar a luz.
Apareció también otra señal: un enorme dragón rojo con siete cabezas y diez cuernos, y en las cabezas siete coronas; con su cola barre la tercera parte de las estrellas del cielo, precipitándolas sobre la tierra.
El dragón se detuvo delante de la mujer que iba a dar a luz para devorar a su hijo en cuanto naciera. Y la mujer dio a luz a un hijo varón, que ha de gobernar a todas las naciones con vara de hierro; pero su hijo fue arrebatado y llevado ante Dios y su trono, mientras la mujer huyó al desierto, donde tiene un lugar que Dios le ha preparado. Allí la alimentaran durante mil doscientos sesenta días.
Entonces se desató una batalla en el cielo: Miguel y sus ángeles combatieron contra el dragón. Lucharon el dragón y sus ángeles, pero no pudieron vencer, y ya no hubo lugar para ellos en el cielo.
Apocalipsis 14:1-7
Tuve otra visión: el Cordero estaba de pie sobre el monte Sión y lo rodeaban ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil personas que llevaban escrito en la frente el nombre del Cordero y el nombre de su Padre. Un ruido retumbaba en el cielo, parecido al estruendo de las olas o al fragor del trueno: era como un coro de cantores que se acompañan tocando sus arpas.
Cantan un cántico nuevo delante del trono y delante de los cuatro Vivientes y de los Ancianos. Y nadie podía aprender aquel canto, a excepción de los ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil que han sido rescatados de la tierra. Estos son los que no se mancharon con mujeres: son vírgenes. Estos siguen al Cordero adondequiera que vaya; estos son como las primicias, pues han sido rescatados de entre los hombre para Dios y el Cordero. En su boca no se encontró mentira: son intachables.
Luego vi a otro ángel que volaba por lo alto del cielo, trayendo la buena nueva definitiva, la que tenía que anunciar a los habitantes de la tierra, a toda nación, raza, lengua y pueblo. Gritaba con fuerza:
Apocalipsis 19:7-8
Alegrémonos, regocijémonos
démosle honor y gloria,
porque han llegado las bodas del
Cordero.
Su esposa se ha engalanado,
la han vestido de lino fino,
deslumbrante de blancura
-el lino son las buenas acciones
de los santos-.
Apocalipsis 21:1-10
Después vi un cielo nuevo y una tierra nueva, pies el primer cielo y la primera tierra habían desaparecido y el mar no existe ya. Y vi a la Ciudad Santa, la nueva Jerusalén, que bajaba del cielo, de junto a Dios, engalanada como una novia que se adorna para recibir a su esposo. Y oí una voz que clamaba desde el trono: {Esta es la morada de Dios con los hombres; él habitará en medio de ellos; ellos serán su pueblo y él sera Dios-con-ellos; él enjugará las lágrimas de sus ojos. Ya no habrá muerte ni lamento, ni llanto ni pena, pues todo lo anterior ha pasado.}
Y el que estaba sentado en el trono dijo: {Ahora todo lo hago nuevo}. Luego me dijo: {Escribe, que estas palabras son ciertas y verdaderas.} Y añadió: {Ya está hecho. Yo soy el Alfa y el Omega, el Principio y el Fin. Al que tenga sed yo le daré de beber gratuitamente del manantial del agua de la vida. Esta será la herencia del vencedor: Yo seré Dios para él y él será hijo para mi. Pero para los cobardes, los renegados, los corrompidos, los asesinos, los impuros, los hechiceros, los idólatras, en una palabra, para todos los falsos, su lugar y su parte es el lago que arde con fuego de azufre, que es la segunda muerte.}
Se acercó a mí uno de los siete ángeles de las siete copas llenas de las siete últimas plagas y me dijo: {Ven, que te voy a mostrar a la novia, a la esposa del Cordero.} Me trasladó en espíritu a un cerro muy grande y elevado y me mostró la Ciudad Santa de Jerusalén, que bajaba del cielo de junto a Dios.
Apocalipsis 22:20
El que da fe de estas palabras dice: {Sí, vengo pronto.} Amén. Ven, Señor Jesús.

ORAÇÃO DE ABERTURA
Em nome do Pai e do Filho e do Espírito Santo. Amém.
Pai querido, vimos até Vós em nome de Jesus, em união com Ele no Santo Sacrifício da Missa, no Espírito Santo. Vimos a Vós unidos ao Menino Jesus da Boa Saúde e o Menino Jesus de Praga.

PRIMEIRA SEMANA
MEDITAÇÕES PARA NOVE DIAS
Todos os que são conduzidos pelo Espírito de Deus são filhos de Deus. Com efeito, não recebestes um espírito de escravos, para recair no temor, mas recebestes um espírito de filhos adotivos, pelo qual clamamos: Abba! Pai! O próprio Espírito se une ao nosso espírito para testemunhar que somos filhos de Deus. E se somos filhos, somos também herdeiros; herdeiros de Deus e co-herdeiros de Cristo, pois sofremos com Ele para também com Ele sermos glorificados.
Com efeito, os que vivem segundo a carne desejam as coisas da carne, e os que vivem segundo o espírito, as coisas que são do espírito. De fato, o desejo da carne é morte, ao passo que o desejo do espírito é vida e paz, uma vez que o desejo da carne é inimigo de Deus: pois ele não se submete à lei de Deus, e nem o pode, pois os que estão na carne não podem agradar a Deus. Vós não estais na carne, mas no espírito, se é que o Espírito de Cristo habita em vós, pois quem não tem o espírito de Cristo não pertence a Ele.
Ninguém jamais contemplou a Deus. Se nos amarmos uns aos outros, Deus permanece em nós, e seu Amor em nós é perfeito.
Nisto reconhecemos que permanecemos nele e Ele em nós: Ele nos deu o seu Espírito. E nós contemplamos e testemunhamos que o Pai enviou o seu Filho como Salvador do mundo.
Aquele que confessar que Jesus é o Filho de Deus, Deus permanece nele e ele em Deus.
E nós temos reconhecido o amor de Deus por nós, e nele acreditamos.
Deus é Amor: aquele que permanece no amor permanece em Deus e Deus permanece nele.
Nisto consiste a perfeição do amor em nós: que tenhamos plena confiança no dia do Julgamento, porque tal como ele é também somos nós neste mundo.
Não há temor no amor; mas o perfeito amor lança fora o temor, porque o temor implica um castigo, e o que teme não é perfeito no amor.
Quanto a nós, amemos, porque ele nos amou primeiro.
Se alguém disser: "Amo a Deus", mas odeia o seu irmão, é um mentiroso: pois quem não ama seu irmão, a quem vê, a Deus, a quem não vê, não poderá amar.
E este mandamento dele recebemos: aquele que ama a Deus, ame também o seu irmão.
Caríssimos, amemo-nos uns aos outros, pois o amor é de Deus e todo aquele que ama nasceu de Deus e conhece a Deus. Aquele que não ama não conheceu a Deus, porque Deus é Amor.
Nisto se manifestou o amor de Deus entre nós: Deus enviou o seu Filho ao mundo para que vivamos por Ele. Nisto consiste o amor: não fomos nós que amamos a Deus, mas foi Ele quem nos amou e enviou-nos o seu Filho como vítima de expiação pelos nossos pecados.
Caríssimos, se Deus assim nos amou, devemos, nós também, amarmo-nos uns aos outros.
No primeiro livro, ó Teófilo, apresentei tudo quanto Jesus fez e ensinou, desde o princípio, até ao dia em que, pelo Espírito Santo, deu ordem aos apóstolos que havia escolhido, e foi elevado ao céu.
A eles mostrou-se vivo após a paixão com numerosas e indiscutíveis provas; apareceu-lhes por espaço de quarenta dias, falando-lhes do Reino de Deus. No decurso de uma refeição da qual participou, ordenou-lhes que não se afastassem de Jerusalém, mas que esperassem a realização da promessa do Pai "a qual, disse Ele, ouvistes da minha boca: João batizava com água; vós, porém, sereis batizados com o Espírito Santo dentro de poucos dias".
Estando, portanto, reunidos, eles o interrogavam: "Senhor, será agora que hás de restaurar a realeza em Israel?" Ele respondeu: "Não vos compete conhecer os tempos e os momentos que o Pai reservou a seu poder. Mas o Espírito Santo descerá sobre vós e dele recebereis força. Sereis, então, minhas testemunhas em Jerusalém, em toda a Judéia e Samaria, e até os confins da terra.
Dito isso, elevou-se à vista deles, e uma nuvem o ocultou a seus olhos.
Então, do monte que se chama das Oliveiras, voltaram a Jerusalém. A distância não é grande, é a de um caminho de sábado. Tendo entrado na cidade, subiram à sala superior, onde habitualmente ficavam. Eram Pedro, João, Tiago, André, Filipe e Tomé, Bartolomeu e Mateus, Tiago, filho de Alfeu, Simão Zelote e Judas, filho de Tiago.
Todos, unânimes, eram assíduos à oração com algumas mulheres, entre as quais Maria, mãe de Jesus, e os irmãos dele.
Quando chegou o dia de Pentecostes, estavam todos reunidos no mesmo lugar. De repente, veio do céu um ruído semelhante ao soprar de um impetuoso vendaval, e encheu toda a casa onde se achavam. E apareceram umas como línguas de fogo, que se distribuíram e foram pousar sobre cada um deles. Todos ficaram cheios do Espírito Santo e começaram a falar em outras línguas, conforme o Espírito os impelia que falassem.
SEGUNDA SEMANA
MEDITAÇÕES PARA NOVE DIAS
Quem tem meus mandamentos e os observa é que me ama; e quem me ama será amado por meu Pai. Eu o amarei e a ele me manifestarei.
Judas - não o Iscariotes – lhe diz: "Senhor, por que Te manifestas a nós e não ao mundo?" .Respondeu-lhe Jesus: "Se alguém me ama, guardará a minha palavra, e a ele viremos e nele estabeleceremos morada.
Quem não me ama não guarda as minhas palavras; e a palavra que ouvis não é minha, mas do Pai que me enviou. Estas coisas vos tenho dito estando entre vós.
Mas o Paráclito, o Espírito Santo que o Pai enviará em meu nome, vos ensinará tudo e vos recordará tudo o que vos disse.
Deixo-vos a paz, a minha paz vos dou; não vo-la dou como o mundo dá. Não se perturbe nem se intimide o vosso coração.
Vós ouvistes o que vos disse: Vou e retorno a vós. Se me amásseis, alegrar-vos-íeis por eu ir para o Pai, porque o Pai é maior do que Eu.
Eu vo-lo disse agora, antes que aconteça, para que, quando acontecer, acrediteis.
Já não vos falarei muito, pois o príncipe do mundo vem; contra mim, ele nada pode, mas o mundo saberá que amo o Pai e faço como o Pai me ordenou. Levantai-vos! Partamos daqui!
Já não estou no mundo; e eu volto a Ti. Pai Santo, guarda-os em teu nome - este nome que me deste! – para que sejam um como nós. Quando Eu estava com eles , Eu os aguardava em teu nome, que me deste; guardei-os e nenhum deles se perdeu , exceto o filho da perdição, para cumprir-se a Escritura.
Agora, porém, vou para junto de Ti e digo isto ano mundo, a fim de que tenham em si minha plena alegria.
Eu lhes dei a tua palavra, mas o mundo os odiou, porque não são do mundo, como Eu não sou do mundo.
Não peço que os tires do mundo, mas que os guarde do Maligno. Eles não são do mundo como Eu não sou do mundo.
Consagra-os na verdade; a tua palavra é verdade. Como Tu me enviaste ao mundo, também Eu os enviei ao mundo.
E, por eles, a mim mesmo me consagro para que sejam consagrados na verdade. Não rogo somente por eles, mas pelo que, por meio de sua palavra, crerão em mim: a fim de que todos sejam um. Como Tu, Pai, estás em mim e Eu em Ti, que eles estejam em nós, para que o mundo creia que Tu me enviaste.
Eu lhes dei a glória que me deste para sejam um, como nós somos um: Eu neles e Tu em mim, para que sejam perfeitos na unidade e para que o mundo reconheça que me enviaste e os amaste como Tu me amaste.
Pai, aqueles que me deste quero que, onde Eu estou, também eles estejam comigo, para que contemplem a minha glória, glória que me deste porque me amaste antes da criação do mundo.
Pai justo, o mundo não Te conheceu, mas Eu Te conheci e estes também conheceram que me enviaste.
Eu lhes dei a conhecer o Teu nome e lho darei a conhecer, a fim de que o amor com que me amaste esteja neles e Eu neles."
Não, porém! Cristo ressuscitou dos mortos, primícias dos que adormeceram. Com efeito, visto que a morte veio por um homem, também por um homem vem a ressurreição dos mortos. Pois, assim como todos morrem em Adão, em Cristo todos receberão a vida.
Cada um, porém, em sua ordem: como primícias, Cristo; depois aqueles que pertencem a Cristo, por ocasião de sua vinda. A seguir, haverá o fim, quando Ele entregar o reino a Deus Pai, depois de Ter destruído todo Principado, toda Autoridade, todo Poder. Pois é preciso que Ele reine, até que tenha posto todos os inimigos debaixo dos seus pés. O último inimigo a ser destruído será a Morte, pois Ele tudo colocou debaixo dos pés dele. Mas, quando Ele disser: "Tudo está submetido", evidentemente excluir-se-á aquele que tudo lhe submeteu, para que Deus seja tudo em todos.
Ao Anjo da Igreja de Sardes, escreve: Assim diz Aquele que tem os sete Espíritos de Deus e as sete estrelas. Conheço tua conduta: tens fama de estar vivo, mas estás morto. Torna-te vigilante e consolida o resto que estava para morrer, pois não achei perfeita a tua conduta diante do meu Deus. Lembra-te, portanto, de como recebeste e ouviste, observa-o, e converte-te! Caso não vigies, virei como um ladrão, sem que saibas em que hora venho te surpreender.
Quanto ao vencedor, farei dele uma coluna no templo do meu Deus, e daí nunca mais sairá. Escreverei sobre ele o nome do meu Deus e o nome da Cidade do meu Deus - a nova Jerusalém, que desde do céu, de junto do meu Deus - e o meu novo nome.
Assim, porque és morno ,nem frio nem quente, estou para te vomitar de minha boca. Pois dizes: sou rico, enriqueci-me e de nada mais preciso. Não sabes, porém, que és tu o infeliz: miserável, pobre, cego e nu.
Aconselho-te a comprar de mim ouro purificado no fogo para que enriqueças, vestes brancas para que te cubras e não apareça a vergonha da tua nudez, e um colírio para que unjas teus olhos e possas enxergar. Quanto a mim, repreendo e educo todos aqueles que amo. Recobra, pois, o fervor e converte-te!
Eles cantavam um canto novo: "Digno és Tu de receber o livro e de abrir os seus selos, pois foste imolado e, por teu sangue, resgataste para Deus homens de toda tribo, língua, povo e nação. Deles fizeste, para nosso Deus, uma realeza de sacerdotes, e eles reinarão sobre a terra."
Em minha visão ouvi ainda o clamor de uma multidão de anjos que circundavam o trono, os Seres vivos e os Anciãos – seu número era de milhões de milhões e milhares de milhares -, proclamando em alta voz: "Digno é o Cordeiro imolado de receber o poder, a riqueza, a sabedoria, a força, a honra, a glória e o louvor".
Ë ouvi toda criatura no céu, na terra, sob a terra, no mar, e todos os seres que neles vivem, proclamarem: "Àquele que está sentado no trono e ao Cordeiro pertencem o louvor, a honra, a glória e o domínio pelos séculos dos séculos!"
Os quatro Seres vivos diziam: "Amém!"; os Anciãos se prostraram e adoraram.
Eu lhe respondi: "Meu Senhor, és tu quem o sabes!" Ele, então me explicou: "Estes são os que vêm da grande tribulação: lavaram suas vestes e alvejaram-nas no sangue do Cordeiro."
É por isso que estão diante do trono de Deus, servindo-o dia e noite em seu templo. Aquele que está sentado no trono estenderá sua tenda sobre eles: nunca mais terão fome, nem sede, o sol nunca mais os afligirá, nem qualquer calor ardente; pois o Cordeiro que está no meio do trono os apascentará, conduzindo-os até às fontes de água da vida.
E Deus enxugará toda lágrima de seus olhos."
Um sinal grandioso apareceu no céu: uma Mulher vestida com o sol, tendo a lua sob seus pés e sobre a cabeça uma coroa de doze estrelas; estava grávida e gritava, entre as dores do parto, atormentada para dar à luz.
Apareceu então outro sinal no céu: um grande Dragão, cor de fogo, com sete cabeças e dez chifres, e sobre as cabeças sete diademas; sua cauda arrastava um terço das estrelas do céu, lançando-as para a terra.
O Dragão colocou-se diante da Mulher que estava para dar à luz, a fim de lhe devorar o filho, tão logo nascesse. Ela deu à luz um filho, um varão, que irá reger todas as nações com um cetro de ferro. Seu filho, porém, foi arrebatado para junto de Deus e de seu trono, e a Mulher fugiu para o deserto, onde Deus lhe havia preparado um lugar em que fosse alimentada por mil duzentos e sessenta dias.
Houve então uma batalha no céu: Miguel e seus Anjos guerrearam contra o Dragão. O Dragão batalhou, juntamente com seus Anjos, mas foi derrotado, e não se encontrou mais um lugar para eles no céu.
Tive depois esta visão: eis que o Cordeiro estava de pé sobre o monte Sião com os cento e quarenta e quatro mil que traziam escrito sobre a fronte o nome dele e o nome de seu Pai. E ouvi uma voz que vinha do céu, semelhante a um fragor de águas e ao ribombo de um forte trovão; a voz que eu ouvi era como o som de citaristas tocando suas cítaras. Cantavam um cântico novo diante do trono, dos quatros Seres vivos e dos Anciãos. Ninguém podia aprender o cântico, exceto os cento e quarenta e quatro mil que foram resgatados da terra. Estes são os que não se contaminaram com mulheres: são virgens. Estes foram resgatados dentre os homens, como primícias para Deus e para o Cordeiro.
Na sua boca jamais foi encontrada mentira: são íntegros.
Vi depois outro Anjo que voava no meio do céu, com um evangelho eterno para anunciar aos habitantes da terra, a toda nação, tribo, língua e povo.
Ele dizia em alta voz: "Temei a Deus e tributai-lhe glória, pois chegou a hora do seu juízo; adorai aquele que fez o céu e a terra, o mar e as fontes."
Apocalipse 19:7-8
Alegremo-nos e exultemos, demos glória a Deus, porque estão para realizar-se as núpcias do Cordeiro, e sua mulher já está pronta: concederam-lhe vestir-se com linho puro, resplandecente" - pois o linho representa a conduta justa dos santos.
Vi então um céu novo e uma nova terra – pois o primeiro céu e a primeira terra se foram, e o mar já não existe. Vi também descer do céu, de junto de Deus, a Cidade santa, uma Jerusalém nova, pronta como uma esposa que se enfeitou para seu marido .Nisto ouvi uma voz forte que, do trono, dizia: "Eis a tenda de Deus com os homens. Ele habitará com eles; eles serão o seu povo, e ele, Deus-com-eles, será o seu Deus. Ele enxugará toda lágrima dos seus olhos, pois nunca mais haverá morte, nem luto, nem clamor, e nem dor haverá mais. Sim! As coisas antigas se foram!"
O que está sentado no trono declarou então: "Eis que faço novas todas as coisas. "E continuou: "Escreve, porque estas palavras são fiéis e verdadeiras." Disse-me ainda: "Elas se realizaram! Eu sou o Alfa e o Ômega, o Princípio e o Fim; e a quem tem sede Eu darei gratuitamente da fonte de água viva. O vencedor receberá esta herança, e eu serei seu Deus e ele será meu filho.
Quanto aos covardes, porém, e aos infiéis, aos corruptos, aos assassinos, aos impudicos, aos mágicos, aos idólatras e a todos os mentirosos, a sua porção se encontra no lago ardente de fogo e enxofre, que é a segunda morte."
Depois, um dos sete Anjos das sete taças cheias com as sete últimas pragas veio até mim e disse-me: "Vem! Vou mostrar-te a Esposa, a mulher do Cordeiro!"
Ele então me arrebatou em espírito sobre um grande alto monte, e mostrou-me a Cidade santa, Jerusalém, que descia do céu, de junto de Deus.
Apocalipse 22:20
Aquele que atesta estas coisas, diz: "Sim, venho muito em breve! "Amém! Vem, Senhor Jesus!

PRIERES QUOTIDIENNES DE LA
NEUVAINE AU SAINT-ESPRIT
Prière d'Ouverture
Au nom du Père, du Fils et du Saint-Esprit. Amen.
Père bien-aimé, nous venons à Toi unis à Jésus dans le Saint Sacrifice de la Messe at auSaint-Esprit.Nous nous présentons devant Toi en union avec l’Enfant Jésus de Bon Secours et de l’Enfant de Prague. Nous nous offrons à Toi dans le Coeur Immaculé de notre Saint Mère Marie, la suppliant d’intercéder pour nous. Nous voulons nous unir à tous les anges et les saints du ciel et aux âmes du purgatoire.
Prière à L'Esprit Saint
Nous prions pour l’effusion de l’Esprit Saint sur nous et pour être baptisés dans l’Esprit, afin qu’Il descende en nous avec sa toute-puissance, comme autrefois sur les Apôtres à la Pentecôte. Que l’Esprit Saint enlève nos craintes et nous donne le courage d’accomplir tout ce qui peut contribuer au règne du Sacré-Coeur et au triomphe du Coeur Immaculé de Marie. Nous prions l’Esprit Saint de descendre sur les directeurs et les membres de l’Institut Pasteurs du Christ, sur la communauté des Jésuites et les Soeurs Claristes, et sur l’Eglise et tout l’univers.
Protection du Sang de Jésus
Nous prions pour que le Sang de Jésus se répande sur nous, sur les membres de nos familles et sur l’Institut Pasteurs du Christ, et pour que nous puissions poursuivre notre mission et être protégés contre les attaques du Malin.
Guérison
Nous prions pour la guérison de l’esprit, de l’âme et du corps tout entier de nous-mêmes, des membres de nos familles et de tous les membres de l’Institut Pasteurs du Christ, et pour la communauté des Jésuites, des Soeurs Claristes, de l’Eglise et de tout l’univers.
Prière pour demander la force et la lumière
Nous t’adorons, ô Esprit-Saint. Donne-nous la force, soit notre lumière et supporte-nous. Ô Esprit de lumière et de grâces, nous désirons pouvoir faire uniquement la volonté du Père. Eclaire-nous afin que nous accomplissions toujours la volonté du Père.
Esprit éternel, remplis-nous de la Divine Sagesse. Nous pourrons ainsi mieux comprendre tes Mystères Sacrés.
Ô Esprit Saint, aide-nous à mieux connaître Dieu. Fais que le Coeur de la Vierge Marie nous rende de plus en plus conformes à l’image de son Fils Jésus.
Prière pour être un avec la Sainte Trinité
Ô Esprit de lumière, nous aspirons à être unis à Toi, et nous désirons connaître Dieu et être unis à Lui. Nous désirons être un avec le Père et Le connaître intimement comme une personne. Nous désirons aussi connaître son Fils bien-aimé, le Sacré-Coeur de Jésus, afin de vivre en Lui à chaque instant de notre vie. Nous voulons être un avec Toi, Esprit de lumière, afin d’être animé par Toi dans notre respiration même.
Prière pour être un en Jésus
Ô Jésus, fais que toute notre vie soit conforme à Ton Sacré Coeur afin de pouvoir dire comme Saint Paul: "J’ai été mis à mort avec le Christ sur la croix, de sorte que ce n’est plus moi qui vis; mais le Christ qui vit en moi..." Nous voulons vivre unis dans l’Eucharistie et être unis tout le jour à Jésus. Nous désirons connaître et aimer cet état de vie d’union intime avec notre Dieu.
Nous te désirons, ô Notre Dieu bien-aimé, et nous t’aimons de tout notre coeur. Dieu Père, Fils et Esprit Saint, nous te louons, nos t’adorons, nous t’honorons et nous te rendons grâce.
Prière pour demeurer dans le Coeur de Jésuset de Marie
Nous cherchons à être unis en Dieu, à demeurer dans le Coeur de Jésus et vivre intimement dans le Coeur Immaculé de notre Mère.

Prière pour recevoir les Dons de L'Esprit Saint

Tous: Et tu renouvelleras la face de la terre.
Nous prions pour obtenir les sept dons de l’Esprit Saint, afin que notre âme soit sanctifiée et devienne semblable à Dieu.
Ô Esprit Saint, nous nous consacrons tout entier à toi. Comble nous de tes dons de Sagesse, d’Intelligence, de Conseil, de Force, de Connaissance, de Piété et de Crainte du Seigneur.
Prière pour que la parole soit vivante en nos coeurs
Ô Esprit Saint, nous savons que le Verbe sous forme humaine a été déposé dans le sein de la Vierge. Nous prions pour que le Verbe vienne aussi en nous pour y faire sa demeure. Nous désirons que l’Incarnation se prolonge dans nos vies. Ô Esprit de Dieu, nous comptons sur toi.
Courtes Prières à L’Esprit Saint
Esprit Saint, nous te prions de supprimer notre ignorance, notre indifférence et nos faiblesses. Que l’amour de Dieu nous donne la force d’être toujours fidèles.
Esprit Saint, viens au secours de nos besoins.
Esprit Saint, aide-nous à éviter le péché, à aimer Dieu et à faire sa sainte volonté en tout.
Esprit Saint, aide-nous à observer les commandements et à respecter l’autorité. Fais que nous aimions toutes choses comme tu veux que nous les aimions. Aide-nous à toujours prier Dieu et à le servir par amour, à connaître la vérité, à jouir des dons de foi, d’espérance et de charité, et de toujours distinguer ce qui est bien et ce qui est mal.
Une Prière pour demander l'intimité avec l'Agneau le Fiancé de notre âme
Agneau de Dieu, qui enlèves les péchés du monde, viens et remplis mon âme de ton intimité. Je me soumets à toi, et demande le grâce de me détacher de moi-même pour simplement habiter en toi et te laisser envahir mon âme. C’est toi l’initiateur, et moi je suis l’âme qui attend que tu la remplisses de tes bienfaits. Je t’aime et je t’adore. Que ta grâce divine envahisse mon âme et me fasse connaître ton amour. Amen.

Méditations - Neuf jours
Jésus lui répondit: "Celui qui m’aime obéira à ce que je dis. Mon Père l’aimera: nous viendrons à lui, mon Père et moi, et nous habiterons chez lui. Celui qui ne m’aime pas n’obéit pas à mes paroles. Ce que vous m’entendez dire ne vient pas de moi, mais de mon Père qui m’a envoyé. Je vous ai dit cela pendant que je suis encore avec vous. Celui qui doit vous venir en aide, le Saint-Esprit que le Père enverra en mon nom, vous enseignera tout et vous rappellera tout ce que je vous ai dit.
"C’est la paix que je vous laisse, c’est ma paix que je vous donne. Je ne vous la donne pas à la manière du monde. Ne soyez pas inquiets, ne soyez pas effrayés. Vous m’avez entendu dire: "Je m’en vais, mais je reviendrai auprès de vous."
Si vous m’aimiez, vous vous réjouiriez de savoir que je vais auprès du Père, parce que le Père est plus grand que moi. Je vous l’ai dit maintenant, avant que ces choses arrivent, afin que lorsqu’elles arriveront vous croyiez. Je ne parlerai plus beaucoup avec vous, car le dominateur de ce monde vient. Il n’a aucun pouvoir sur moi, mais il faut que le monde sache que j’aime le Père et que j’agis comme le Père me l’a ordonné. Levez-vous, partons d’ici".
Je ne prie pas seulement pour eux, mais aussi pour ceux qui croiront en moi grâce à leur message. Je prie pour que tous soient un. Père, qu’ils soient unis à nous, comme toi tu es uni à moi et moi à toi. Qu’ils soient un pour que le monde croie que tu m’as envoyé. Je leur ai donné la gloire que tu m’as donnée, pour qu’ils soient un comme toi et moi nous sommes un. Je vis en eux; tu vis en moi, c’est ainsi qu’ils pourront être parfaitement un, afin que le monde reconnaisse que tu m’as envoyé et que tu les aimes comme tu m’aimes.
Père, tu me les as donnés, et je désire qu’ils soient avec moi là où je suis, afin qu’ils voient ma gloire, la gloire que tu m’as donnée, parce que tu m’as aimé avant la création du monde. Père juste, le monde ne t’a pas connu; mais moi je t’ai connu et ceux-ci ont reconnu que tu m’as envoyé. Je t’ai fait connaître à eux et te ferai encore connaître, afin que l’amour que tu as pour moi soit en eux et que je sois moi-même en eux."
"Voici ce que déclare celui qui a les sept esprits de Dieu et les sept étoiles: Je connais ton activité; je sais que tu as la réputation d’être vivant, alors que tu es mort. Réveille-toi, affermis ce que tu as encore, avant que cela ne vienne à mourir complètement. Car j’ai remarqué qu’aucune de tes actions n’est parfaite aux yeux de Dieu. Rapelle-toi donc l’enseignement que tu as reçu et la façon dont tu l’as entendu; sois-lui fidèle et change de comportement. Si tu ne te réveilles pas, je viendrai te surprendre comme un voleur, sans que tu saches à quelle heure ce sera.
"De celui qui aura remporté la victoire, je ferai une colonne dans le temple de mon Dieu et il n’en sortira plus jamais. J’inscrirai sur lui le nom de mon Dieu et le nom de la ville de mon Dieu, la nouvelle Jérusalem qui descend du ciel, envoyée par mon Dieu. J’inscrirai aussi sur lui mon nom nouveau.
"Mais tu n’es ni bouillant ni froid, tu es tiède, de sorte que je vais te vomir de ma bouche. Tu dis: "Je suis riche et j’ai fait de bonnes affaires, je ne manque de rien". En fait, tu ne sais pas combien tu es malheureux et misérable. Tu es pauvre; nu et aveugle. C’est pourquoi je te conseille d’acheter chez moi de l’or purifié au feu, pour devenir réellement riche. Achète aussi des vêtements blancs pour t’en couvrir et n’avoir plus la honte de paraître nu, ainsi qu’un remède pour soigner tes yeux et leur rendre la vue. Je réprimande et corrige tous ceux que j’aime. Fais donc preuve de zèle et change de comportement."
Ils chantaient un chant nouveau: "Tu es digne de prendre le livre et
d’en briser les sceaux. Car tu as été mis à mort et, par ton sacrifice, tu as
acquis pour Dieu des gens de toute tribu, de toute langue, de tout peuple et de toute
nation. Tu as fait d’eux un royaume de prêtres pour servir notre Dieu, et ils
régneront sur la terre."
Je regardai encore et j’entendis une multitude d’anges: il y en avait des
milliers, des dizaines de milliers. Ils se tenaient autour du trône, des êtres vivants
et des anciens, et ils chantaient d’une voix forte:
"L’Agneau qui a été mis à mort est digne de recevoir la puissance, la
richesse, la sagesse et la force, l’honneur, la gloire et la louange."
J’endendis aussi toutes les créatures dans le ciel, sur la terre, sous la terre et
dans la mer--les créatures de l’univers entier--qui chantaient:
"A celui qui siège sur le trône et à l’Agneau soient la louange,
l’honneur, la gloire et la puissance pour toujours."
Les quatre êtres vivants répondaient: "Amen." Et les anciens
s’agenouillèrent et adorèrent.
Un autre signe apparut dans le ciel; un énorme dragon rouge qui avait sept têtes et dix cornes, et une couronne sur chaque tête. Avec sa queue, il balaya le tiers des étoiles du ciel et les jeta sur la terre. Il se plaça devant la femme qui allait accoucher, afin de dévorer son enfant dès qu’il serait né. La femme mit au monde un fils, qui dirigera toutes les nations avec une autorité de fer. L’enfant fut aussitôt amené auprès de Dieu et de son trône. Quant à la femme, elle s’enfuit dans le désert, où Dieu lui avait préparé un place, pour qu’elle y soit nourrie pendant mille deux cent soixante jours.
Alors un bataille s’engagea dans le ciel. Michel et ses anges combatirent le dragon, et celui-ci se battit contre eux avec ses anges. Mais le dragon fut vaincu, et ses anges et lui n’eurent plus la possibil de rester dans le ciel.
Puis je vis un autre ange qui volait très haut dans les airs; il avait un Bonne Nouvelle éternelle qu’il devait annoncer aux habitants de la terre, aux gens de toute nation, toute tribu, toute langue et tout peuple. Il disait d’une voix forte: "Soumettez-vous à Dieu et rendez-lui gloire. Car le moment est arrivé où il va juger l’humanité. Adorez celui qui a fait le ciel, la terre, la mer et les sources d’eau."
Apoc 19, 7-8
"...Réjouissons-nous et soyons heureux, rendons-lui gloire. Car le moment des noces de l’Agneau est arrivé, et son épouse s’est préparée. On lui a donné un vêtement fait d’un fin tissu de lin, brillant et pur." (Le tissu de lin represente les actions justes du peuple de Dieu.)
Alors celui qui siège sur le trône déclara: "Maintenant, je fais toutes choses nouvelles." Puis il me dit: "Ecris ceci, car mes paroles sont vraies et dignes de confiance." Et il ajouta: "C’en est fait! Je suis l’Alpha et l’Oméga, le commencement et la fin. Celui qui a soif, je lui donnerai à boire gratuitement à la source de l’eau de la vie. Quiconque aura remporté la victoire recevra de moi ce don; je serai son Dieu, et il pera mon fils. Quant aux lâches, aux infidèles, aux êtres abominables, aux meurtriers, aux gens immoraux, à ceux qui pratiquent la magie, aux adorateurs d’idoles et à tous les menteurs, leur place sera dans le lac de soufre enflammé, qui est la seconde mort."
L’un des sept anges qui tenaient les sept coupes pleines des sept derniers fléaux vint me dire: "Viens et je te montrerai la mariée, l’épouse de l’Agneau." L’esprit se saisit de moi et l’ange me transporta au sommet d’une très haute montagne. Il me montra la ville sainte, Jérusalem, qui descendait du ciel, envoyée par Dieu.
Apoc 22, 20
Celui qui garantit la vérité de tout cela déclare: "Oui, je viens bientôt." Amen! Qu’il en soit ainsi! Viens, Seigneur Jésus!

The Pain - Naples, FloridaMessenger: He spread His arms, He gave His all, Jesus, the Son of God, the greatest sacrifice, He gave Himself entirely for the good of all men. He opened His arms, He died on the cross.
His arms were covered with blood, His arms so weak and filled with pain, wounded. His arms, the pain shot up His arms and the final blow to each arm a nail through each precious hand.
All the agony He experienced, all the pain, and the crown, to each arm, a nail hammered into the hand.
All the nerves cut and severed by the nail, the pain shooting up His precious arms, the final blow given to His most precious members.
The legs that carried Him, that carried the heavy cross, the legs that were forced and cajoled, that continues to Calvary - the legs weakened, skinned, bleeding, beaten, burned, the legs that knew patience and perseverance, the legs connected to a sore foot that was rubbed and gashed and bleeding, the members of Jesus, filled with such pain and exhaustion, now is crowned with the final glory. The nail that was driven into the foot, the pain shot up this already weakened leg, covered with blood and wounds and pain, the final blow, the nerves severed by the hammered nail.
A blow to each hand, a blow to each foot, a blow to the head, a stamping that pressed down and continued in excruciating pain.
Jesus speaks: They numbered all My bones. They gave Me vinegar and gall to drink. They gave Me a cloth to wipe My blood-covered flesh.
What did they give to Me? Love is giving, My dear ones. How many of you are wounded when you are not given things by your brothers you love?
My members were in such pain, the pain shot up My arms. My legs were so weak I could scarce move them. I was filled with pain within them.
To all who watched, they saw a man, weakened and covered with blood and wounds. They did not see the pain inside that shot up My legs and arms, the nerves inside My body that sent signals of deep pain to My central nervous system. They did not see the nerves inside sending pain signals everywhere.
The final blow being to each hand and foot, the severing of My nerves by the blunt and rusted nails.
An arm extended. A final blow. I beheld a nail pounded into My hand and the pain shot up My arms, unbearable to a human mind.
Do you know of the pain within My body? Signals sending messages of deep pain everywhere. I knew all of these sufferings in the garden. So great were the sufferings to My mind, I sweat blood.
My flesh was covered with wounds. My arms were stretched from their sockets. My body was beaten and bleeding, every inch of My body covered with deep wounds. But, My loved ones, you miss the depth of My love. My wounds were so deep, but the final wound, the pounding of the nails in My hands and feet, a severing of the nerves, an ending of the deepest pain, to experience even deeper pain, beyond your human comprehension, it was done to the Almighty God, a Divine Person, I suffered the final blow to each member.
The pounding in the hands and feet, the crown to each member, and they numbered all My bones. My nerves a network of pain running throughout My entire body.
The pain within the body, the pain recorded in My loving head, the pain sent by a network of nerves in My body, now records the final blows, the nails in the hands and feet, the pain being recorded from every thorn that pierced My skull, every gash to My body, the pain, the pain, the pain - a network of signals and pain, running through My body and the final hour, the pains recorded on the cross, arms outstretched - a surrendering to all pain. I surrendered to a body laden with pain.
You focus on your little problems, your little aches and pains. You discuss them and show the world your pin pricks and sufferings.
Do you want to know holiness and love? They gave Me vinegar mixed with gall. This was their offering. They gave Me a cross. They crowned My head with a crown of thorns.
This, My dear ones, is suffering, My beloved souls, I gave My life for and this is their return.
A severing of My nerves, the final blows to all the aches and pains recorded in My nervous system. This was one of the final blows - the rusted nails pounded into My hands.
You will feel little aches and pains in your hands and feet to remind you of this message. Your understanding of the immense pain within will deepen. What was visible to the eye on My battered body was nothing compared to the pains within. I gave My all. I gave My insides, My mind, My Heart, wounded for the love of men.
All functions in the body were stopped.
The final curtain, blood and water pouring out from My Heart, show that all functions of the body had ended.
Messenger: All signals that carried messages of immense pain had ended, the final act of surrender for God to die to this human body and surrender His flesh.
Jesus speaks: And end, a beginning, the water and blood flowed from My Heart, the beginning of My life in the Church, life flowing into your spirit.
Messenger: Come give me life, abundant life. I thirst to be with Thee.
Jesus speaks: My blood was spent. My human flesh and blood offered as the sacrifice, the sacrifice of Calvary is now made present at every Mass.
An end, a beginning, and the grace and life flow through the sacraments in the Church. My life flows to you in the Mass. Mary, the Mediatrix of all grace, stands by the side of the altar and the grace flows from the Father, through My body offered up as a sacrifice in the Holy Spirit, given through the Mothership of Mary to you in the Church.
You stand under the cross with My Mother and you receive the gift given, My Body, My Blood.
Messenger: Man is reconciled with the Father through the Divine Person, Jesus Christ, and you receive His life poured out to you as Calvary is made present in the unbloody sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Do you feel the graces poured out to you at this sacrifice of the Son of God at every Mass? Do you feel the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory? Do you feel united as one at the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present upon the altar through the priest? The priest who now puts on Christ and through Him the dispenser of this life given to man.
Jesus speaks: Oh, My beloved ones, love so dearly your priest. Give him such reverence. He is the chosen instrument of God and you treat him with such ordinariness. You are so blind and so dumb in your ways.
And they numbered all My bones. Each nerve carrying a message of My love of mankind, each member in My Church carrying a special message, all united as one working in harmony according to the Father's will, each carrying a message of love to one another.
The body is many members, you are the messengers of My love. Christ is the head. The message does not flow as it should when some are cut off from the Head.
They nailed My hands and feet and My nerves were severed by the nails, such pain, undescribable in words, the severing of My nerves from the body, the severing of many members from the body of Christ.
My Body given for all on the cross, the network of nerves within carrying the messages of My love to all mankind. My body covered on the outside with blood and wounded, the pain recorded within.
Your Church, covered with blood on the outside, the slaughter of innocent babies, the homosexuality, the sins of the flesh, the members that have severed themselves from the source by their sins, but the pain is carried in the nerves inside. The blood of the Lamb shed for each and every soul, the real pain carried within. The life is weakened in your Church because the love of God is so weak in many members. The messages of love are not being transmitted as they should be. Your body shows the wounds, but your pain within is the root of the problems. The pain is from the messages of love that are not being transmitted.
Unless you seek to fill your priests and sisters with the fire of God's love, fill their hearts with burning love for God, your Church will continue to show the marks of the blood shed without. I give to you these letters as a mighty medicine for this world, directed to make men's hearts burn with love of God and love of one another. The rosaries are meditations and messages given from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
These messages will make men's hearts burn with fire for love of God.
You have ignored the importance of these letters.
I send to you the mighty medicine to heal a hurting world.
My priests and religious need these messages. The love of God will be transmitted to the Church from these messages when you circulate these letters.
The devil has blocked the minds of men involved in these messages because of their importance to the world and the Church.
I am speaking to you Fr. Carter to help to get these messages published and circulated as soon as possible. I give to you a mighty medicine for a sick world.
Read St. Thomas Aquinas about the medicine for the sick Church.
You know what these messages have done for you. I am Jesus. I give to you the mighty medicine for a sick world, for a sick Church, rosaries and letters from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Your Church shows the wounds of bloodshed, abortion, homosexuality, sins of the flesh, murder of little children's minds with sex education in Catholic schools and you hold back the gifts of God's love I am giving to the Church and this world.
My arms were weak and wounded but the final blow as the nail put in My hand. It severed the nerves.
The final blow is the bloodshed in the Church, the slaughtering of children's minds in Catholic schools. My children are pure and innocent. They are not being taught messages of God's love, they are being taught messages of sick sex and coldness.
Men's hearts have turned cold. They have been severed from the life of the body. The body is decaying from within. Only with the love of God enkindled in men's hearts will this bloodshed stop.
I beg you to publish and circulate these messages in the Church. I am Jesus. I am giving you the mighty medicine for the world. Your body wears the marks of the bloodshed, only with messages of My on-fire love will it stop.
Mary leads you to Jesus. Never is she the end. The Father has a plan. Mary's messages have led men and will lead men to Jesus. Satan has tried to stop all efforts to publish and circulate these messages. I am the Almighty God. The funds will come when you circulate and publish these messages and rosaries under the Shepherds of Christ Publishing. I am working with Fr. Carter and Rita as messenger to renew the Church and the world. Each messenger has a very vital role in the Father's plan. The significance of these messages are being overlooked. You are not studying the messages as a whole and their content. There are five unpublished Blue Books and more than four Rosary Books which I and My Mother have given to this world in the last 14 months. I have also given 15 songs of My love. I am begging you to see to the recording and publishing of this music. I beg you to listen. This is the mighty medicine for the Church and the world to draw men to the burning love of Jesus. Please harken to My call. I will send you the money. You must study and read these messages. This is a fulfillment of Fatima - these messages were given to bring priests to the burning love of Jesus. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.

Excerpt from the Newsletter 2001 Issue 2
Spouse of the Lamb
(
From a spiritual journal)My beloved Spouse, the Bridegroom of my soul,
The days go by with such swiftness, yet my focus is entirely on being one with Thee. The days fade in and out in shades of lights and darks, some days I receive immense insight into Your mysteries, some days I am left to tremendous suffering, wanting You so deeply in my soul and not experiencing Your favor.
On this First Friday, I recall vividly the vision of Your precious Heart I hold in my heart. I see it clearly, red and filled with fire, and I know the warmth and glow of Your sacred divine love.
Oh, my Sacred Heart, indeed, Thy love is most sacred. Yet even though I do not ponder as I should on the endless fires of love emitted from your treasured Heart, I have a constant awareness of this love which leads me to march forth in this battle of helping to win souls over for the Kingdom.
Little is accomplished if I nurse my wounds on those dark days and sit in a corner waiting for a great favor from You.
I walk those shaded days as You walked with the cross on Your back, but my awareness of Your Father and His plan for salvation is so limited, and I struggle tremendously as I am pressed on as I travel on my journey to the end of the day.
And then a day of glory comes and You look upon me, my Bridegroom, and give me great favors and allow me to have a day of resurrection from the doom and the struggle.
And how did He walk the earth? He walked it too, in dark and light days. Days in which they chased Him and wanted to kill Him, in which they called Him crazy, in which He sweat the saving Blood because of His anguish, in which He wept, in which He loved Mary His Mother and Mary Magdalene, in which He raised His dear friend Lazarus from the dead, in which He preached about the Kingdom to His followers.
Days of light, days of darkness, but He entered the tomb and came forth victorious in the end.
He rose to give us life, His wounds were glorified, the victory was won.
My Bridegroom, You give to me Yourself this day. I am one in the glorified Lord in the most intimate way. The banquet is prepared. The Lamb has been slain. Now we reap the glory of the risen Lord. We receive the gift of life in Him.
LIGHT and darkness. He is the Bread of Life, He comes to feed the starved soul with Himself. Our most treasured gift, our most treasured Friend, Jesus Christ, the Bridegroom of our soul, gives Himself as a sacrifice that we will share in His life most abundantly.
I love You, Jesus Christ my Bridegroom, come and possess my soul.

Mary's
Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996Mary speaks: 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.
Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light.
Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.
(End of Mary's Message)
A Note from the President of Shepherds of Christ:
If you are devoted to Our Lady's rosary, we need your help! A member of our ministry is very devoted to Our Blessed Mother and he is helping to teach us how to grow our volunteer rosary makers. He estimates that we will need approximately $37,000 this year for beads alone! This translates into 22,339,500 rosary beads (yes, 22 million beads) assembled by volunteers into 378 thousand rosaries. The biggest users of our rosaries are the Catholic schools, who requested more than 100,000 rosaries last year.
Can you help us? I appeal to you for funds, whether large or small. We give because we love God, we love our Blessed Mother, and we love souls. We will accept gifts in many forms, besides cash or check donations, we can receive gifts directly in the form of stocks or property. These gifts can offer large tax advantages to the donor and increase the monetary value of the gift to us. Also if you can help assemble rosaries we need your help! If you can help us in anyway, please call or write us. God Bless!
I love you,
John Weickert
A rosary can be used to pray for healing. It is powerful to unite our prayers to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and pray through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater.
In times of trouble, for special prayer, we can use our rosary and pray as follows.
A Rosary for Healing or for Someone with Cancer.
On one Hail Mary bead or as many as you desire, say:
May God heal through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater in union with the Mass and all the Masses being celebrated around the world.
Pray the Hail Mary or Hail Mary's then pray this after the Hail Mary.
May the cancer be uprooted and thrown into the sea.
We believe with all our hearts.
After the Glory Be — pray the following petition.
May be healed through the intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater if it be the holy will of God.
