From Blue Book 10

February 4, 1996
R. Not enough is written about Faith: We must have faith as a mustard seed and then we can say to the mountain, "move", and it will.
    I see God and know His great love for His creation. If we study the lives of Jesus and Mary, we see how the Father loved Mary. In understanding God's love for Mary we understand more God's love for His human creatures.
Relationships: The Key
    There is not love if there is not relationships. It is in realizing we are all one body in Christ, that we must be joined in one mind and one heart.
    I thirst for the knowledge about God. I beg the Holy Spirit to live in me and permeate me with His wisdom and His love, His knowledge, His gifts. God is alive!

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

... 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.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.

R. The Mysteries of the rosary are so important because they tell the relationship between the lives of Jesus and Mary. Love - relationship. We must study the relationship between the highest human person, Mary and the Divine Person, Jesus: see the interaction between Jesus and Mary, between His Heart and hers in the mysteries of the rosary.
    We pray for insight into God's love in the mysteries of the rosary when Mary's heart unites to her Son. To comprehend love, there must be connection.
    Perfect love – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – Perfect communication.
    We focus, too, on the love of the Two Hearts. I know deeply the love between Jesus and Mary. I know this love of the Two Hearts. Love is union
Song: His Presence Pervades My Soul
R. On December 15, 1995 I had a deep realization of the love of the Trinity. I knew God's love: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Also, I knew the love of Mary in deep oneness with God. I knew God's burning love. I felt no fear in God's embrace. The love of God filling me and the oneness of Mary is such an awesomeness of God's precious love.
        Excerpt from Blue Book 9 - December 18, 1995 - In the Deepest Recesses of His Heart

R. I was overtaken by the love of God. The fire of the Holy Spirit filled me. I was absorbed by the love of the Father, and I existed IN Him and in the deepest recesses of the Heart of Jesus. Our heaven on earth is these inner chambers of His magnificent Heart - the Heart of the Almighty God, with all the power, with omnipotence, with the fire of the love of God. He took me to the deepest chamber of this fiery Heart, and in that moment, I touched eternity, for I knew what it was to be enveloped in the deep furnace of His love. I now want to exist in this chamber of His Heart, swept away in His burning love, absorbed in my every cell with His love. . . .

    Little creatures though we are, we are His, His power, His life, flowing through us. In Him, we are as the Father intended: one in Him, each one of us, dwelling in this fiery furnace of His love. With our fears quieted and our hearts empowered by His life, we live forever in Him - in the Heart of Jesus.

end of excerpt

R. I see Mary and Jesus and Their love for me, feel action permeating my being. I know Jesus loves me and I connect with all others. The Source of love is in God: interaction between people not rooted in Him seems very shallow. We can unite deeply with others in love depending on their deep love of God. If a person is not very united to God - our relationship can be much more shallow.
O Mary, I have known you, Mary, under the cross. I know you, Mary, the Mother of God. God, to give His Son.
    I know Jesus. Mary, so silently stands by. Sweetly she is always there, leading us to her Son.

Luke 1: 46-55

And Mary said:

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

The Seven Sorrows of Mary

(1) The prophecy of Simeon.

(2) The flight into Egypt.

(3) The loss of the Child Jesus in the temple.

(4) Jesus and Mary meet on the way to the cross.

(5) Jesus dies on the cross.

(6) Jesus is taken down from the cross and laid in Mary's arms.

(7) The burial of Jesus.

R. Mary is the sweetest Mother. I know Mary's maternal love. I feel Mary's love. Love is interaction. Jesus died for me.
    Church - interaction - so much emphasis - leaves out real love between Jesus and Mary and I am taught about Their love, the love of the Two Hearts. I am taught to love God.
    I am taught of Their most powerful love for me (Caught in this embracing love of God. Mary is the Singular Vessel, the gateway to Trinitarian love).

February 7, 1996

R. I want to promote unity. I cannot stand to hear talk about anyone. Conversation with others must not lead to division. We are to work in unity. I can't stand division. I am one in Him. Division: we talk about others, we don't like them. I want to be one, my whole life is at peace when I am one. I want to see us as one and God is running the show! (This does not refer to discussing people problems that must be resolved that are working against God's plan.)
    To be one in Jesus. We should not set up opposing sides just for mere conversation. Jesus wants us to be holy. Jesus doesn't want us to focus on ourselves in conversation to 'out-do' our brother. He wants us to love in conversation and tell the truth, not brag about ourselves and discredit our brother for our own vain glory. Jesus wants us to focus on Him.
    We are in the family of the Father. We were all uniquely created by God with a purpose. God loves us so much. We are to respect each other's talents and praise God for the good others do in promoting the Kingdom of God.
    I see us as one. I do not focus on my little group and ignore the plan of the Father for others.
    If I am filled with Jesus' love, I do not give into thoughts of division. Love binds all men together. I give myself to Mary. I go to her heart. I want the Holy Spirit to come and permeate my being. Mary takes me to the Heart of Christ and I unite with my Heavenly Father.
    The more I become as a little child of God, the more I lose my pride. The more I become child-like, obedient, the more I am united to God. Jesus obeyed His Father to His death. If I obey God the Father's will, I am happy. My life is in living to do the Father's will. I want to do the Father's will in all I do.

February 8, 1996
R. Jesus does not want me to divide with my brother, He wants me to live in love. God wants me united to all in my heart. Mary loves all her children. I give my heart to Mary's Immaculate Heart. Mary places me in Jesus' Heart. There is love not division in Their Hearts. I want oneness with the Trinity. Mary is the singular vessel. I cannot live IN Him and have division with my brother. God is love.
    When all are giving themselves to Mary and Jesus, then the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign. It is a progress that follows: the gateway to union with the Trinity is the heart of Mary.
    I cannot have division with any man and unite deeply in Their Hearts. I love Them so much. All I want is to dwell deeply in Their Hearts.
    When I unite in oneness with all three Persons, then I am most happy. My heart burns to think of all three Persons. I know Their presence in me. I know the Holy Spirit in me. I dwell in the Heart of Jesus. I am the little, dependent, humble child of my heavenly Father. Mary places me deeply in Jesus' Heart. Mary's heart is pure. Sometimes the touching by God is so intense.
Song: Your Presence Pervades My Soul
R. I cannot write about this, it is inexpressible in words - it is a pull so intense that I cannot express it.
    Intimacy with others for me must be in love united to God. I may talk about things with others, but what binds us together is how we are rooted in God. Conversation does not bind us together if it divides us from God. Because I share with another does not mean it creates unity. If it is talking in gossip or slander about others, it is sinful and it can hurt my relationship with God, it can hurt relationships with others. Jesus says: "My way is love." He wants us to be lost in the embrace of His undying love.
    The Spirit can move in me when I am living in Him, like a breathe in me. Sometimes when I am experiencing the presence of the Trinity, it is as if I am caught up in a hot wire, pulling around me, in me and with me. I know clearly this presence. I cry from the presence of God. To be embraced by love itself. I do not fear, it is a moment, time stands still.
    Think of the union between Mary and the Holy Spirit when He descended on her and the Word became flesh. I know the presence of God.
    Contemplate the deep love between Mary and the Holy Spirit. Contemplate the deep love between Jesus and Mary, as seen especially in the Seven Sorrows. Think of this tender relationship of Jesus and Mary. Think of the deep love between Mary and the heavenly Father. Mary is the little dependent child of the Father. Think of Mary's immense love for God the Father.
    I can unite deeper to Jesus as I go through Mary's pure and sinless heart. Mary loves God so much! Think of Mary's love for God; Mary is the gate, Mary is the singular vessel. Think of this everlasting love between God and Mary.
    Jesus tells us to be aware of those who look to separate you from one another. Jesus does not want us to fall into this trap. Jesus says, "I created you, you are to be one. You are children of the Father. God is your Father. You must love one another as brothers in Christ." Jesus is saying: you will not find love with one another if you create division with any man. Jesus tells us not to judge, lest we be judged. Jesus says, "Your heavenly Father wants you to be one as His creatures. Do not give into setting up sides. Who is My Mother, who is My brother?"

Matthew 12: 49-50

And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, ‘Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.’

R. There is no bumping of heads when all are doing His will. To continue to set ourselves up against my brother is to divide us. To talk about others wrongfully and say "I am good, they are not good." God wants us to be one with them.
    I reached out, I saw the underprivileged and I loved them as they were. I saw the reflection of God within them. I united to them and I loved them in this act of loving. I am to love my enemy. Jesus loves His body, the Church. Jesus wants unity.

Mark 3: 23-27

So he called them to him and spoke to them in parables, ‘How can Satan drive out Satan? If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot last. And if a household is divided against itself, that household can never last. Now if Satan has rebelled against himself and is divided, he cannot last either—it is the end of him. But no one can make his way into a strong man’s house and plunder his property unless he has first tied up the strong man. Only then can he plunder his house.

Prayer:

Dear Holy Spirit,
    Work in the heart of your beloved Spouse, my sweet Mother, so that I may acquire the virtues of faith, hope, charity, temperance, fortitude, obedience and humility, that I may be more and more like Mary, my Mother, and that I may love God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit and love all others as I should. Amen.

R. I want to love more and more like Jesus and I cannot love as I should love. Jesus help me with grace to love as You desire me to love. Many things I put before God I have made gods: things, tapes, money, persons.
    I am sorry for any person, place or thing I have put before You, my God. I am learning more how to totally trust in You, my God. I give You myself.
    Satan knows what and who we have made our gods and he parades them in front of our face! Satan works through anger and pride.
    Satan hates us and satan hates God. Satan wants to take us to hell forever. Satan wants us so angry, that, that becomes our god. Red hot anger so we don't care about what is important to Jesus.
    All we care about is anger which leads to hatred and revenge for our brothers. How can we do this when God loves us so much and wants us to love Him. These Blue Books, letters from Jesus, tell us how much Jesus wants our love. Anger is from selfishness, making oneself over God. Anger has a desire for vengeance against our brother opposed to justice and love, God wants of us.
    If I am filled with His love, I do not give into thoughts of hateful, revenge and division. Love binds all men together. Some situations for those in authority must be addressed with others involved. It is done to stop evil from progressing and to serve God. To not do so is to shrug our responsibility and this is wrong.
Slander is wrong - hateful untruths against others. If satan could get away with it, he would try to take down the house. Those in charge must address it.

February 13, 1996
R. Why are we afraid to love God? We are to trust God and want to learn from God who created us to love. Happiness is in learning to love and be more and more like God –

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.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

R. God is the source of love. God loves us so much, we are to love God. He wants our love. This is why God gave us the Blue Books - to know about the mystery of God's love. God calls us to love - we are to respond to God's love.
Dialogue: Jesus says: Are you cold, are you hungry, are you willful and controlling? I show you the way: My arms open wide - the way to life, My Divine Life.
R. Our parents, those who loved us were imperfect and many of us were hurt by their imperfections and dysfunction. Jesus shows us His Passion. Jesus loves me. Love –

Matthew 22: 36-40

'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'

John 3: 16

For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
    may not perish
but may have eternal life.

Song: A Song from Jesus

R. God commands us to love Him with our whole heart and whole soul and whole mind, and love our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus suffered the greatest rejection and He still loved. Jesus shows us the way, despite the fact that He was rejected, spit on, whipped - He still loved! Jesus gives us the cross to look at it. Jesus loved us to His death on the cross. Jesus says "I died for you, what more do you want?" Jesus gave Himself for me!

    Jesus doesn't want me caved-in and selfish!

    When I was given a special person Jesus wanted me to be close to, it was very "scary" to me.

    A great fear we can have is rejection by others. I cannot love deeply if I choose to hold myself closed. Jesus sends a confessor or other spiritual guide, as a special person to us that we can reveal our soul, that we can tell our fears, our sins and our joys. If the person or priest, is like Christ, he will listen and still love us no matter what we have done. It is we who think people do not love us many times, and they don't like our actions. If we really notice things how they really are, we will probably see that they do love us and pray for us, and we should thank Jesus for their friendship. Some people if they have a good time create problems for themselves because they only think it's safe to trust themselves. People love us, show us they love us, and since we are afraid of getting close, we can do something hateful to push them away. This is not being like Jesus.

Song: Why Do We Hurt the Ones We Love

R. The role of the priest is to be Christ-like, he forgives our sins. Confession is so important for the soul. The priest must be holy so he responds to the sinner as Jesus would respond.

    If we were rejected by our parents, if we were loved only when we pleased them, we learned conditional love.

    Jesus loves us unconditionally. No matter how bad we are, He forgives and loves us when we are sorry, if we ask Him. We are accountable and responsible for our sins.

    When others who should have loved us hurt us, it may be hard to open yourself up and let someone get close for some. We must trust certain others. God commands us to love. Not shut down.

    Jesus gave His all. Jesus spread His arms. Jesus kept giving.

    Confession is so important to the soul. A good, loving confessor, one like Jesus, is important to our spiritual growth - our growth in His love. We cannot deceive ourselves about our sins and grow in the spiritual life. We are accountable and responsible for our sins.

    Priests have a great responsibility to respond as Jesus would respond to the person confessing sins. It is hard for a person to tell someone their sins. The priest must pray to be more and more like Christ that they do not hurt the penitent. The priest must especially put on Christ when He is administering the sacraments.

    If we are hurt in love, we may be afraid to love. We must pray to the Holy Spirit to heal wounded relationships. Jesus is the Divine Healer – Jesus in giving us these letters in God's Blue Book wants us to spread them to all.

    The greatest commandment - commands we love – Jesus is telling us about love in His letters of love in God's Blue Book. And these rosaries are Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary – all about the love of the Two Most Perfect Hearts of love!!

    Jesus heals our hearts and gives us His love. God gives us others who love us. If we were once hurt and never open up again, we will not learn how to love others. We need healing. We need to pray to the Holy Spirit.

    I learn to love by walking the Passion with Jesus. Jesus allowed me to walk with Him. I know Jesus through the sufferings.

    People are imperfect, they love imperfectly. Jesus sends us some who love us deeply. We must realize when God is giving us such special love and take a chance and love, not hurt others who love us because of our wounds and fear.

1 John 4:17-21

Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.

R. Jesus puts the fragmented pieces of my life together when I go to Jesus before the tabernacle. Jesus teaches me about His love and Himself. Jesus teaches me about the Father's will for me. The Holy Spirit is the love of God on fire for love of us.

    There is such a connection between love and suffering. Both Mary and Jesus show us Their Hearts surrounded with thorns. Love endures pain. To love I open myself up to another and know there is pain and joy – misunderstandings, death/resurrection, loneliness, etc. Look at Jesus on the cross. Jesus shows us that to love means giving of ourselves. To love means the we are open to suffering.

    In Jesus' Divine knowing, Jesus knew all the sufferings to His death. He knew all of the rejection. Agonies of agonies to suffer and know the rejection while giving - in the act of giving, to know the scorn and keep on giving.

    Jesus knew all the times He would be rejected in the Eucharist, and the endless hours He would remain alone in the tabernacle.

    Our burning love now is such sweetness to Him. Jesus longs for the love of His priests and Sisters. A holy priest gives Jesus such comfort. We must pray with all our hearts for the priests and the religious.

    The life He gave was paid for with bitter sufferings.





February 14, 1996 - Valentine's Day

R. The more I become as a little child, the more the Father gives of Himself. The more I give up control, the more I am dependent on God and the more I know God's love.

Matthew 11: 25

At that time Jesus exclaimed, 'I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children.

R. Jesus is the Heart of greatest love. It is Valentine's Day and look how Jesus is treated! You are my favorite Heart, Jesus. I love You so much!

    The spoken Word is like a two-edged sword. The Word of God is living and it penetrates the heart and soul!

    If priests are filled with this deep love of God, the Word, which is a seed, is planted deeply in their hearts and the congregation hears this!

    It is the Word, planted deeply in the hearts of the flock, that will take them to the Chief Shepherd. They will be led home through the spoken Word.

    The Word is a seed that grows. It should be planted deeply and it will produce sound fruit. It is the spoken Word of God that digs deep into the heart.

    Let us proclaim His Word from the housetops with highest jubilation, let us shout it from the highest pinnacle and let it be planted deeply in the hearts of all that they may know the Word of God and let it live in them. God wants to live and dwell in us – We are given baptism.

John 1: 9

The Word was the real light that gives light to everyone; he was coming into the world.

John 6: 51

'I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world.’

R. Let His Word penetrate our soul and seep deep into our hearts so we will let others know the Word alive in us.

Jesus: I AM the Word that guards you night and day, sent from heaven above to feed and nurture you. My Word is food, indeed, for the soul.



February 15, 1996 - After Communion - Cathedral
Feast of St. Claude de la Columbiere

R. The great gift Jesus gave me was the pains in my feet and front of my legs on the morning of the 14th. They hurt so badly I couldn't express how painful it was.

(I gave myself totally to Him after Communion this day.)





February 16, 1996

R. I went to see Fr. Smith (was tempted not to pray between 12 and 3:00, but went to Immaculata at 12:30. I have been told to pray between 12 and 3:00 - no excuses.)

Through Him, With Him and IN HIM

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.

R. God's love is surrounding me, a permeating action. God fill me with Your abundant life. Action from the Heart of Christ. Oh, burning furnace of endless love, engulfed by the white mist, the glistening action of the Spirit, in the depth of Jesus' Heart. I am one with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

From the Mass Book

December 15, 1995

He Wrapped Me in His Divine Embrace

Written at 12:30 p.m., in Holy Cross-Immaculata Church:

    I wanted to love Him so much. I realized God’s magnificence and goodness, and I wanted to give Him such great love, but I realize my incapacity to love Him more in my human form.

    I realize how God is so worthy of all my love. My intellectual realization of how worthy He is, does not match with my attempt to love Him. It hurts to want to love Him so much. He gives me an insight, a light into His magnificence, and I realize my littleness.

    So overwhelmed with the desire to give Him love, no thought of myself - my whole being wants to love Him with this immense love. The world is non-existent. It is I and Him, and my whole being merges with Him and this one desire to unite endlessly, forever in the deepest union. Time stands still, and it is the meeting of our hearts, this oneness with Him. I slip into His Heart and nothing here matters, as if I have embraced such depth of union with Him. I want only Him. I see only Him, and I am one in this deep, deep embrace with Him. I lost myself in Him.

    My existence is existence only in Him. It is being wrapped in love’s embrace with Divinity.

    The world existed around me, and all I knew was the embrace of the Almighty God. My heart sunk into His Heart, and I existed only in Him, my whole being seeing myself existing only in Him.

    I saw His body as I stood beneath the cross at Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church. I wanted to unite with Him eternally in this great depth of love I felt. I wanted to be totally lost in Him forever. By being merged with Him, I existed in Him, knowing only Him and loosing myself. I saw the Child Jesus statue, and I was lost in God. I begged the Father through the tears of tender, loving Mary, in the Holy Spirit, to help me to make His love known to this world, to use me, use my life as He willed to make this love of God known. Then, coming back to myself, I begged the Father, through the tears of the tender, loving Mary, in the name of the Christ Child, in the Holy Spirit, to help me to make His love known to this world, to use me, my life as He willed to make this love of God known.

Diagram: Notes: His lament of love - Burning love - given by Him - Burning love - He wants from us.
December 17, 1991: Saw vision of a burning Heart
Jesus gave me gentle messages - told me how precious I was, wooed me into His Heart. Jesus told me He loved me.

December 17, 1991

Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.

His Burning Heart

R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.

    I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these letters—to draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:

    "Open your heart to the fire of God's love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love."

end of writing

R. Sufferings: December 18, 1993: I heard: "I Died for You". I felt Him in the study sitting next to me and lamented in my chair. He died - Jesus wants to dwell in us. See Blue Book I - p. 151

The Aching Heart messages - on December 17, 1995, I wrote: "O Divine lover of my soul, let me make reparation to Your adorable Heart for the neglect and indifference against You."

Jesus allowed me to suffer so much, then on December 15, 1995 He took me to the other side.

        Excerpt from December 17, 1995 - The Earth Stopped and Touched Heaven

    He allowed me to experience such pain in my heart - wanting Him so badly, so many times-and then on Dec. 15, 1995 - He gave Himself to me in the deepest union.

    Nothing satisfies the soul but Him. He wants the nuns and priests to love Him. He chose them to spread His love.

    Souls are hungry. They will only be fed with His burning love. Priests need to talk about Jesus' love for us from the pulpit. Priests need hearts burning for love of Jesus. This will feed the hungry souls - lip service love doesn't do it.

    He is alive today. He is a Person. He wants us to love Him.

end of excerpt

R. My Heart Bleeds - Blue Book II p. 145 – I allow you to suffer on Saturday and Sundays.

Excerpt from March 6, 1994 - Sunday Night

Jesus: I am Jesus, Son of God. I truly suffered. Your heart is experiencing aching. I allow you to ache and feel some of My emotions. I am a person. When people love one another, they share each other's pain. Your heart aches as I, too, ache for love of My beloved ones. Preach about My aching heart.

Every soul has periods of unrest because the soul was made to love the Lord. Sunday is a day I let you suffer My aching heart. I want you to tell others how I ache for love of them. I allow you to suffer on Saturday and Sunday for My aching heart.

end of excerpt

R. I received the message on January 17, 1994, "I Want My Priests to Come Back" "Prayer for Union with Jesus" in Blue Book II.

February 6th: My Heart Aches for You.

What I remember most:
December 18th, 1993 - sitting in my chair lamenting - He died, what more do we want?

        Excerpt from Blue Book I - Take Up Your Cross

Jesus: ...Pain, child? I suffered so much for love of you! This is how I love you at this moment. In all that befalls you you must know at every moment that I know exactly what you are suffering. There is nothing that happens in your life without My consent and it comes from Him Who loves you.

Take your crosses and truly endure them. Accept them. Know that everything that happens in your life I have allowed. Accept it with the love with which I give it. You are being taught in that pain. You are suffering for yourselves and others. I endured all that pain. Did I once say, "Father, take it away?" I am your model. I showed you the way. I took it all, every last wound, every kick and smack and vileness. I took My cross and I carried it without a word. This is what I ask of you. Know that when you are experiencing pain or suffering, or being taunted by those around you, look to the Master for your course of action. I took it all, every last wound, and accepted it to My death. I did not say, "Oh, how awful." I did not complain. I walked in silence that bumpy road with a heavy cross, with My mother suffering by My side and I never complained. I accepted it all for love of you...

end of excerpt

R. December 25, 1993 - Christmas (pain so bad in my heart, could scream - wanted anything to release pain.)

      Excerpt from Blue Book I - I Came This Day as a Baby

Jesus: I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. The gift I give is eternal life. I came this day as a baby to make ready your way to the Kingdom. I love you with such intensity. This is the reason for My coming.

If I could get inside of you and make you realize My love. I died a brutal death. I came and was born God as a man. I rose again from the dead and you don't even realize My death and how important all this is to your salvation. You doubt My intense love, no matter what I said or did. You need to keep a list every day and put on it the proof that "my Lord loves me." Make this your gift to Me and yourself this Christmas. A list every day of proof of My love for you! I love you so, little one. Cling to Me and My ways. The world is in so much darkness and so much pain. ...

end of excerpt

R. Then it started on the Sundays at 5 - 6:00. I had to go to the tabernacle at St. Phillips. Jesus would lament: I would have this tremendous pain.

February 5, 1994 - Vision

Jesus said important messages were in Blue Book II: March 6th, March 7th and March 13th, 1994. March 20th (said no one is listening) and March 21st., March 22nd - Day of the Big Boom.

Jesus started with Rosaries in Blue Book III and Jesus told me about Mary's pain in Blue Book III in May, 1994.

Blue Book IV - Insight into the Love of the Two Hearts: Jesus and Mary.

On June 16, 1994 - Blue Book III - Jesus told me to go to the Center and I would see as I have never seen before. I saw little white lights on my notebook.

Then July 5, 1994 Mary started appearing. On August 10, 1994, Blue Book IV I receiving The Peering Eyes message.

The Shepherds of Christ Meetings started Tuesday, August 30, 1994 at the Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center because of the direction of Jesus. This was the beginning of my Core Chapter of Shepherds of Christ. Many of the rosaries in this book came from these Tuesday meetings of the Core Chapter of the Shepherds of Christ.

R. Fr. Carter received the message July 31, 1994.

July 31, 1994

Words of Jesus to Members of Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

R. I received this message August 1, 1994. This is on the back of Blue Book IV.

August 1, 1994

Pray For The Success Of The Priestly Newsletter - Shepherds of Christ

R. The following is the first official message I received before the statue of Mary at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. It is a personal message for Father Carter.

Mary: (in front of the glowing statue of Our Lady of Sorrows) I am the Immaculate Heart. My Heart is glowing for love of all my beloved children. I am your most loving Mother. I am with you this day. Pray for the success of the priestly newsletter Shepherds of Christ. I am guarding your way. You will receive such graces to accomplish this task! Grace from God is so abundantly bestowed on you and will lead to the success of this endeavor! Pray for this cause at the Center. The priests will lead the people to the love of My beloved Son. This is no little task. It will take many prayers and graces. Pray hard, little one. Your prayers will change many hearts.

I am Mary, your Immaculate Mother. I bring this message to My beloved priest-son.

end of August 1, 1994

R. Mary said how important Father Carter and the Shepherds of Christ Movement was to the world.

These Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary were given at the Shepherds of Christ Meetings. And messages where Jesus said we were to go out to the world with this message. I saw a vision of St. Margaret Mary the first night of the Shepherds of Christ Meeting on Tuesday.

August 1994

R. On the last Tuesday of August, 1994, there took place our first Shepherds of Christ meeting. While at mass at the Cathedral, I saw a vision of St. Margaret Mary reading from a white book. This happened right before the meeting. When I drove into the driveway of Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, I heard Our Lord speak, "These are My apostles of My Sacred Heart.", or something to that effect.

R. I saw vision of Father Carter with his hand on the Church.

January 1995

R. Before the 17^th meeting in January of 1995, I had received the following vision when at Mass at the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Chains. It was either late December, 1994 or early January, 1995. I drew the picture in the notebook.

It looks as follows:

The face was a flesh colored, but I could not see the features. The gown was white with a square neck.

The next day Jesus told me it was Father Carter. This vision along with another vision I had received about the same time appeared on the 17^th book in January 1995.

The other vision was a church that looked similar to our church in China, Indiana, and in the front of the church was a gigantic Host with tremendous light coming forth from it.

On the cover was a Shepherd and the world.

The vision of the church looked like this:

There was a message at this meeting. The message said that THE POWER is in the Eucharist.

R. This vision is on the front of Blue Book 6A, B, and C

R. There was an important message January 5, 1995. The Plan of God the Father will unfold. - See the Big Picture (Blue Book 6A)

Rosaries began on the 13th of every month starting October 13, 1996 at the direction of Jesus. Special persons Melanie, Ellen, others would come.

May 13, 1995 - Could connect everything I did with Fatima – before I did not understand Fatima.

Vision: We dwell in her heart - I give myself to Mary. Holy Spirit works to make us more like Jesus. Deep cavern of His love - it is in the center I unite with the Father.

February 18, 1996

R. I see everybody I love in Jesus and Mary's Hearts. I see us united giving to Their Hearts and dwelling in Their Hearts is the key. As I dwell in the Heart of Jesus I am one with the Father, the Holy Spirit moves in this - the Holy Spirit is the fire of God's love.

    I need this dwelling in Their Hearts to be as our heavenly Father wants us to be. God wants us to strive to be perfect –

Matthew 5: 48   ...You must therefore be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.’

R. In dwelling in Their Hearts, I am perfected more and more in Their love. Such work They have to do with me, but I can go there in the pure heart of Mary, My beloved Mother. It is there I act in Their love. I love with Their love. If these were words that I have written before, I did not comprehend them then, but now know this is the place to grow in holiness and love. I want to love as They love more and more but I am so full of self. I see before me all my faults and realize I need to give my heart to Jesus and Mary.

To Fr. Carter from Jesus

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

The Holy Spirit

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

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

end of excerpt

R. I see clearly, it is in Their Hearts that I act in love and when I am not focusing on my consecration to Their Two Hearts, I can get focused on myself and act selfish. I pray for grace to dwell forever in Their Hearts, to love in deepest love and to dwell with this love in Their Hearts.

    It is really circular - the more I dwell in Their Hearts, the more I learn how to love others for Mary and Jesus love each person with such love. The more I love each person, the deeper I unite to Jesus and Mary and the more deeply one we all are in Jesus and Mary's Hearts.

    If I want to love God and love the world, if I want to grow in perfection, I must dwell in Their Hearts. It all centers in the Hearts of love of Jesus and Mary.



R. This is my prayer for grace to more fully dwell in Their Hearts at every moment, at every second.

    I cannot be as the Father wants me to be on my own. I need God's grace – I am loving because God gives me grace to love. When left to the self I can act selfish. I feel the action of the Spirit in the heart of Mary working in me. I want the Holy Spirit to dwell in me. I dwell in Jesus' Heart for she is in Jesus' Heart and in that beautiful place, I know the Father and unite to Him and He, to me. In the white center of Jesus' Heart, I unite to my beloved Father, deeply in the Heart of Jesus, my true Beloved, through the Holy Spirit.

     This is why it is so important to consecrate our heart to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary! This consecration is so important. If we want peace in this world, it is found in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Mary said at Fatima: "When a sufficient number of people have consecrated their heart to Jesus and Mary, we will have peace in the world." Fr. Carter said at least 50%.

    There will be one flock and one Shepherd. We will be One: One in Him, One Body in Christ, One Dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary through the action of the Holy Spirit, with our Heavenly Father - One Holy Family!

    Who is my brother, who is my mother? Anyone who does the will of the Heavenly Father! He has a plan for us to be united as one through Jesus, His Son!
