                April 19, 2016

                R. Math is a subject you practiced,
                like the piano. Because of this
                you can remember it and piano
                later on.

                    Our actions are determined by
                our thoughts, we tell ourselves
                what to do.

                    Actions that are performed because
                of right reasoning, focusing on the
                goal of eternal life and living according
                to the Father's will in love become a
                habit how we act.

                    There is a lot of self-talk that
                goes on in our heads. Satan can
                press on a person to be in the habit
                of seeing themselves as a victim, of
                hating or blaming another person
                for how we feel inside.

                    A person can have pent-up-anger
                and they don't feel good and are
                unhappy because of it.

                    They can have an inferior complex
                and make up for this by being prideful –
                seeing themselves better than everybody
                else and wanting every where they
                go to let everybody to know this.

                    Impure actions are done by
                a person who sees themselves better
                than everyone else and spending their
                life in all circumstances – proving
                to others they are superior and others
                should see that like they do.

                    We have all day to have self-talk –
                why we do things. If a person is in a
                bad habit of sizing themselves up to be
                better than everybody else then they are
                living in competition – always, with
                those they are with.

                    This can be because of their own
                inferiority complex of themselves – so
                they try to show others they are always
                superior and that is the focus of their
                lives – showing others they are up –
                others are not as good as them and
                so it sets up division – not unity and
                love.

                    God is love. When we practice
                being loving we are more loving.
                The Holy Spirit wants to fill us with the fire
                of His love – to be more and more
                loving likened to God.

                    A person that sees through jealous,
                envious eyes and not really liking
                themselves as they should can develop
                life long habits - they practice – to
                let others know –
                    "I'm the smartest here and you
                should know it."

                    Living in love means we just
                are being in the moment – our goal
                is eternal happiness – we see
                ourselves as a child of God and others
                as a child of God – we are happy
                to be with others and to share and
                unite and do whatever it is that
                God wants us to accomplish.

                    Survival tactics from youth can
                be where these habits of pride begin –
                God created us and we don't have to
                live life proving we are great and
                others aren't as good as us.

                    Satan presses on people and wants
                them to be uncomfortable with others –
                to isolate – he can press on people
                to think why they should act a
                certain way.

                     We all want to be safe where we
                are and we can check out the safety
                when we go somewhere – is it safe –
                yes it is – I can trust some people
                and they are nice and I can enjoy
                myself.

                    The person that is severely wounded
                in a dysfunctional home can learn
                it's not safe to trust anybody – people
                can do unpredictable things that
                hurt me – they aren't true to their
                word – so I have to be suspicious
                of everybody – this is twisted thinking
                and it takes a lot of self talk –
                setting up walls and going in and
                out of relationships to make sure
                nobody does anything to hurt me
                because I don't want to ever
                trust anybody and get hurt
                again they think – twisted thinking – setting
                up division – how an anybody
                get any relationships that are
                consistent going with this individual –
                they are like a roller coaster that
                never really commits and are
                constant –

                    God has called us to live virtuously.
                Wounds from the past must be
                brought to the light so people
                can see things in the truth, as
                they really are. If there were wounds
                and lies in the heart about things
                satan can work in these secrets.

                    God has sent people to us in
                our lives that we can trust and
                can help us grow in relationships
                and in the spiritual life, but
                we must learn to trust others and
                to learn if we get hurt in
                some relationships a little – that
                will happen since we are not
                perfect and they aren't either, but
                we learn how to love ourselves
                as God's child and we learn how
                to love those people God has put
                in our life to work with.

                Living to not trust anyone, really trust
                people outside our family is charting
                a very isolated path.

                    Living to be in control and
                only trusting ourselves can be
                very prideful and we even put
                ourselves above God.

                    Darkness becomes darker and
                darker as we raise ourselves up
                and distance ourselves from the
                reality of how God loves us so much,
                God is up – we are under God –
                God is trustworthy and God has sent
                people in our lives we need to trust
                and work with.

                Jesus: A person can make life so dark
                and so isolated – setting up walls
                to be safe, to be in control, to
                not trust or work with others,
                to be hard hearted and angry
                then because they have closed
                themselves off from doing the
                Father's will of living a life of
                light – a life of love – of
                trusting in God and those God
                sends to work with an individual
                to grow and love and build.

                    I am the Divine God – you
                were created by God in My
                image and likeness. In baptism
                you are given a sharing in Divine Life –
                how twisted to be always on guard
                and full of fear and not go out
                and do the work I call you to
                do.

                    Pray to the Holy Spirit to be filled     
                with Love – to be Easter people –
                to see how the Holy Spirit is working
                in love – in your lives –
                God has a plan – A person must
                learn to trust others they need
                to work with – It's about being
                and trusting and loving and
                unity and commitment with
                those in your vocation you
                need to work with. What a
                lonely life to only trust in oneself –
                You are to pray to the Holy Spirit to be as
                God wants you to be – surrender
                to the God of love, who loves
                you so much.

                You are to focus on your vocation
                and give – You see how I gave
                to My death on the cross – doing
                the Father's will –

                    Give your heart to God – Ask
                the Holy Spirit to come and to fill you –
                So you can be filled with
                love and light –

                    Pray to be converted – life
                is a journey – You are learning,
                You are loving – I send people
                to you to trust and love in
                your vocation – work in love –
                give your heart –

                    Your heart is made for
                relationships – your heart is to
                work with others outside your
                family – those I have sent to you –

                    What good does it do – for you
                to pray and God answers your
                prayer and then you say –
                Oh I won't work with them –
                and I won't trust anyone –
                Remember the hired man runs
                away – yes he runs away
                to be in control – to isolate – to
                be safe –

                    He isn't a man who is
                a man seeing others and
                really trusting and working
                with them in God's plan –

                    He has his plan so things
                work as rigidly as he thinks –
                he can make a mess out of
                things and then try to make
                his mess the way he tries
                to prove it was good.

                    If a child puts chocolate
                icing on himself and the
                table and on his clothes – he
                needs to get cleaned up – not
                tell himself the mess didn't
                happen and try to make others
                believe he isn't covered with
                chocolate.

                    I am the way, the truth and
                the life.

                    I am absolute truth. I
                love you so much – I am God
                and I give you the Blue Books
                to you.

                    God the Father has sent
                My Mother to teach the world
                in this Movement – about
                Family consecration –
                about the rosary –
                about love and praying together
                in the Clearwater building.

                The grottos are to bring people
                to prayer –

                The waters are given by Me –
                    they are a gift for you –

                The statues with glass and
                    putting them in your
                    homes and praying before
                    them as I have taught
                    you to pray –

                My people it is about reporting
                    for the job I gave you –
                    it's about love –
                    it's about helping others –
                    it's about surrendering
                        to God's will and letting go –

                I am with you –
                I love you –

                My Movement is a gift for
                    the world –

                Listen to Me –

                I am Jesus,
                I am the Sacred Heart –

                I give you Myself in the Eucharist
                I give you My Blue Books –
                    use them –
                    spread them –
                    trust and love –

We pray all prayers for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world and for the Shepherds of Christ intentions. By the precious Body and Blood of Jesus we cast out Satan far from this place, our families, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the Church and the world. We ask the Blood of Jesus be spread on us, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the Church and the world. We beg for grace and mercy for the world and wish to make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We give our hearts to Jesus and Mary with all gathered here in love. We wish to be forgiven for offending one another. We love You God, help us.

          3) This is her peace plan, Children must pray it.

          5) Oh Sacred Heart Divine, Oh Heart of Mary pure, Ave Maria, We love to pray it!
