The church needs to have the stucco replaced

and also the community building.

It is about $38,000 to repair it.

People pray in the church 24 hours a day.

We have prayed in there for 11 years.

The archdiocese gave the church to us

for this purpose for a small price.

 

Can you help us?

                    There was darkness and
                lightening came and a man
                hidden in dark anger, denial
                guilt was given the lightening
                to cleanse the dark corners
                deep within himself and they
                came as a bolt of lightening as the
                Holy Spirit outpoured wisdom
                to see and to choose freedom
                from the long dark nights of
                guilt and anguish —

                    One bolt of lightening a
                cracking that showed him the
                hidden tree tops a glimpse
                of his past — his unloving ways
                that could help him see the
                new day of new light —

                    A tunnel, a cavern, a man
                with generations of anger passed
                down, some abused, told of their
                lack of value by those who should
                have loved them — the words of
                parents to little ones, a slap,
                control — seeking dominance for
                dominance sake — not love —
                Bowling balls in heaven — a strike
                you say —

                    a glimpse of the truth — hidden
                deep in guilt in the subconscious
                but their denial
                    living in pride
                    subjecting control on others
                    seeking dominance for dominance
                        sake
                    some greedy, some lustful —
                    anger — deep rooted —

                When I give you the lights of the
                    vision March 26, 1996 —
                The day after March 25 —

March 26, 1996

Very carefully discerned by Fr. Carter

R. I came to All Saints Church before a beautiful Monstrance of gold that contained Our beloved Savior. He was adorned in light, the altar beneath shone with the brightest light and the cross behind was entirely silhouetted with the same celestial light. I was overwhelmed with the presence of God and cried deeply from the awe of it all.

    To be so aware of the Almighty God truly present in His splendor and glory—to know the presence of God, to see the glistening of the gold and the light and reflection of the cross behind Him—my beauteous love—words do not exist to describe the rapture of a heavenly embrace! I cry because of the immense awe within my being to know Him. God truly present in His majesty and glory and oh, God, I behold the presence of a heavenly court. You opened wide the heavens and lifted up the veil and I knew You in Your splendor and glory. I behold God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." He is the Almighty God. He shows us the celestial lights with which He will light this earth. Many must surrender their hearts to His Heart and Mary's heart. It is in surrendering, the Spirit will move in the hearts of men and the light of God will shine on the darkened earth. Not with a light that you comprehend, but a light that is divinely granted—a light beyond all lights, a vision beyond all visions. It takes the surrender of minds and hearts to God. The Spirit cannot move in us when we are in control. Surrender and give Him our heart and He will make us fishers of men.

    We are His apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. He is sending us out into the world to light the hearts with His burning love. We are chosen by Him and He is giving us abundant graces to grow in our union with Him. He will light this world with His burning love. Our hearts must be open. We must surrender and let go and reach beyond the senses, reach with our hearts. Pray for faith, pray for the vision of God.

Note:  I cried all through this writing, having the presence of God and being in great ecstasy to behold Him. May God touch your heart and may His Spirit move within you. May you be filled with the grace of God to surrender and let Him accomplish a great work within you.

    And I was filled on high with His miraculous light and He reached down and spoke within me. I was filled as never before and knew the presence of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Note:  As I finished, the bells at All Saints Church rang at 9:00 A.M. As I began to experience the immense splendor, the bells of 8:00 rang. Words do not express anything that I saw or experienced or know from this ecstasy. This was the greatest and the first of three visions, which defined clearly to me our role in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Jesus defines clearly the role of Fr. Carter in this great mission given to him by the Father.

For Fr. Carter from Jesus:

Jesus:  To him who has eyes to see, they will see - not with earthly vision, but with the eyes of faith, and to him who has ears to hear, he will hear with the fluttering of the Spirit moving within him.

    I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I am the Almighty God. I say to the rocks to fall and they fall and to the grass, grow, and it grows, and to the sun, shine, and it shines. I give to you My love in these letters. Filled with My love, you will conquer this earth, not with weapons and powder or force, but with fires of My love. The fire will wipe out the hatred in the cold hearts and the earth will be covered with My celestial light. The earth will rock and I will appear in the heavens adorned in power and glory and the contrite hearts will be saved. I came to separate the sheep from the goats, the light from the darkness. I come and no one pays Me heed.

    To you, My beloved son, Father Carter, I have sent you on a mission to spread this fire that will cover this earth. The hearts of men will turn from their sick and desolate ways to hearts gentle as a little lamb.

    There will be one flock and one Shepherd and My staff will rule over all. Hearts consecrated to Our Hearts will lead the light across the earth. This light will be a light of intense brightness, brighter and hotter than any light from a flame. It will be the fire of God's love. The Spirit will move in the hearts of all consecrated to My Heart, and you will know how fire truly spreads, for the love of God is a fire. It is vibrant. It is encompassing. It is smoldering, burning deep within and speedily spreading on the outside. No fire on this earth can ever describe the burning embers that burn from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. No fire burns like the fires coming from My Heart and hearts filled with the love from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

    I have written your name, Fr. Carter, in My Heart, never ever to be blotted out and this earth will be renewed with the fire of God's love through you. You are My beloved priest-son, forever, according to the order of Melchizedek. Most holy and most sacred are your hands that consecrate the Host and write My precious newsletter for My beloved priest-sons. You are never unguarded. You are held within the deepest chamber of My Heart, and you will spread My love to the priest-sons of this earth.

    I am Jesus. You will spread My love to all souls on this earth. I love you with the tenderest burning love. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.

                I saw the lights of heaven like
                flashes of a golden reflective
                mirror — cracking open into
                the heavens

                    I had this first vision —

                    But in January 1996 I had seen the
                transfigured Lord at Holy Cross-Immaculata
                Church

                    and at the end of that year — I would
                see Jesus at the point of death on the
                cross —
                    mouth open and trying to speak
                no words — December 5, 1996 —

Excerpt from August 8, 1999

R. Mary had appeared almost every 5th for two and 1/2 years beginning July 5, 1994.

On December 5, 1996, instead of Mary appearing Jesus appeared on the cross in utter anguish at the point of death at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church.

He spoke not a word, but His mouth moved profusely. I was horrified by the apparition.

He hung, all battered, greatly weakened. His mouth moved very clearly. It seems that a man in His condition could not move His mouth to that extent.

Later in the rosary that night, He gave messages and said: "No one was listening."

end of excerpt

 

Excerpt from Rosary on December 5, 1996:

Jesus:  I am alive, I am alive. I am alive. My beloved ones, I show you My face. Do you see the body of a man? Do you see Me alive on the cross? I am speaking to you but the world does not hear. They do not hear the message that I deliver to them. You must pray fervently. You must come to Me that I can be one in you and that I can operate through you as you go into the world this day. I love you. I love you with the most tender love. I am Jesus. I am alive. You are My main soldiers that I will send into the world to lead the strayed ones to My Heart.

The days ahead will be dark days. You must come to My Heart and take shelter in My Heart. It is there that you will be rooted on a firm rock. For My Heart is your home. You will not know the terrors of the night if you stay rooted in My Heart.

Division is blackness in the heart. You must not be divided, divided from anyone. You must remain in union with all men. You must see yourselves as part of the Father's family. Each one of you is so important to the Father's plan.

THE MASS AND FATIMA

Can I tell you what it is like, for all eternity, to want God so much and to know you will never have Him? This is the fate of the souls in hell.

I plead and I beg to circulate this book (The Mass Book) that all may fervently love God through the Mass, that His life will flow copiously through the hands of consecrated priests.

This is the center of it all: holy, consecrated priests celebrating the Mass.

We have disobeyed the Fatima message. In Lucia's vision of 1929, we see how the life, His divine life, is flowing from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, through Mary's heart-held in her left hand-offering this to Lucia and to us. We see the drops of blood pouring forth from His wounds. It is through her Immaculate Heart. She is the mediatrix of all graces.

It is through the hands of consecrated priests the grace will flow copiously. Oh, God, have mercy on men for they have sinned. They will die a death far worse than any fate on this earth. They will die the death of the soul.

Lucia saw this vision: Our Lady of Fatima stood beneath the right arm of her Son. Mary appeared at Fatima. She gave her peace plan to the world. Mary was sent by the Father to tell men they are sinning and offending God and they must repent.

Lucia said she received lights into the mystery of the Trinity. I account here insights. During the Mass I know more and more the mystery of God's love, His burning, undying love for us. When priests are holy priests and consecrated to the heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus, the grace will flow and the light will cover the earth. The light will be the fire coming forth from the pierced Heart of Jesus, adored and loved in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

Then the light will steal across the sky and the dark hearts will be turned to light. This will only happen when priests and the faithful consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary as she requested at Fatima.

We become one in this Sacrifice of the Mass. We must unite all of our activities all through the day to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We are one with Jesus and Mary when we consecrate our hearts to Them and we are one with each other for if I am in Their Hearts and you are in Their Hearts, we are one in Their Hearts.

We are now a people walking in darkness for we have disobeyed Our Lady at Fatima.

All of the great gifts of God are in place and grace is coming forth from the Mass and from our prayers but the day of the deluge is at hand, when the flood gates will be open and grace will pour forth from the pierced Heart of Christ as in Blessed Faustina's Divine Mercy picture.

When hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the holy priests are celebrating the Mass and are united at every moment to that sacrifice, we will be immensely united and the fountain of God's life will flow on the earth and with this, His great mercy.

There will be this great era of peace in which the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph.

JESUS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Written on First Saturday:

Isaiah 30:19-26:

Yes, people of Zion living in Jerusalem,
you will weep no more.
He will be gracious to you
when your cry for help rings out;
as soon as he hears it,
he will answer you.
When the Lord has given you
the bread of suffering
and the water of distress,
he who is your teacher will hide no longer,
and you will see your teacher
with your own eyes.
Your ears will hear these words
behind you,
"This is the way, keep to it,"
whether you turn to right or left.
You will hold unclean
the silver platting of your idols
and gold plating of your images.
You will throw them away
like the polluted things they are,
shouting after them, "Good riddance!"
He will send rain
for the seed you sow in the ground,
and the bread that the ground provides
will be rich and nourishing.
That day, your cattle will graze
in wide pastures.
Oxen and donkeys that work the land
will eat for fodder wild sorrel,
spread by the shovel-load and fork-load.
On every lofty mountain,
on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses,
on the day of the great slaughter
when the strongholds fall.
Then moonlight will be
bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself will be
seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-
on the day Yahweh dresses
his people's wound
and heals the scars of the blows
they have received.

Isaiah 40:1-8:

"Console my people, console them,"
says your God.
"Speak to the heart of Jerusalem
and cry to her
that her period of service is ended,
that her guilt has been atoned for,
that, from the hand of Yahweh,
she has received
double punishment for all her sins."

A voice cries, "Prepare in the desert
a way for Yahweh.
Make a straight highway for our God
across the wastelands.
Let every valley be filled in,
every mountain and hill be leveled,
every cliff become a plateau,
every escarpment a plain;
then the glory of Yahweh will be revealed
and all humanity will see it together,
for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken."
A voice said, "Cry aloud!" and I said,
"What shall I cry?"
-"All humanity is grass
and all its beauty like the wild flower's.
The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of Yahweh blows on them.
(The grass is surely the people.)
The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God remains for ever."

Adam and Eve are given great gifts and insights into God. They sin, the light of knowing God is dimmed. They do not know God as they did before the sin.

Christ comes, He is the Light of the world. He dies, He gives Himself. He shares His life with us through sanctifying grace.

Through Baptism, we receive this sharing in His divine life. The more He shares His life, the more we are saturated with His life, the more we know Him. He reveals Himself to us-we see the light.

The Kingdom of God is at hand. It is all here: the Mass, the Eucharist, God giving Himself.

To partake more in His life we must give ourselves to Him.

Mary appears to Bernadette. She tells her she is the "Immaculate Conception." We are sinners, but through Mary, the pure and sinless one, we can unite deeply in Him.

We are in darkness in varying degrees. The more we are saturated with His life, the more we see.

The reign of God is at hand. Since He came to the earth, everything is in place to see the light.

God is giving to us great graces to see the light now. He is lifting the veil.

There will be the era of peace as Mary promised at Fatima.

On July 13, 1917 Mary said, "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."⁹

Isaiah 30:26:

Then moonlight will be
bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself will be
seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-…

We see the darkness. As at night, we do not see the colorful leaves, they are there, we do not see them.

In the morning light we see the glory of the beautiful day, the colorful leaves.

As the light steals across the sky, we see more and more. As the sun gradually comes up, we see more clearly the beauty of the leaves.

At first our vision is not so clear because the light does not show in its deepest intensity. As the sun comes up we see more and more vividly until finally we see clearly the beauty of the colorful leaves.

Isaiah 30:26:

Then moonlight will be
bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself will be
seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-…

The more we are saturated with His life, the more we are one in Him, the more clearly we see. It is in this union, in the depth of His Heart, that we receive such life, that we know Him with great clarity, that we are given this vision of God.

It is not with "eyes" that we see, but the illumination is in the knowing power that He gives to us. He enlightens our minds so we understand more into His divine mysteries. We share most intimately with Him when we are one with Him in the Mass and after Communion. These are treasured moments in which He gives us a special sharing to know Him, our Divine Lover.

We see clearly when our hearts are hearts of love. We see vividly when our hearts are filled with love and peace. We were created to love, to love God and love each other.

Adam and Eve sinned. They lost the great gift given to them. The light of knowing God was dimmed because of their sin.

Christ comes into the world. He is the Word. He is the light of the world. He comes to save man from his sin. He comes in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Mary is the pure and sinless one. Jesus comes to pay the price for the sin of Adam and for our sins. We are all tainted by this sin of our first father and mother. Mary is the immaculate and pure one, the highest human person. Divinity unites with humanity in the womb of Mary. They are one. Jesus is carried within the body of His mother. Such unity from the beginning, for His life is formed within her body. Is it surprising to us, then, if Christ comes within the womb of the Virgin Mary, that we too must go through Mary to unite to Him? Where is the pride in the hearts of men that think they do not have to go through their Mother Mary? If Christ comes in the womb of Mary to pay the price for man's sins, and we are tainted by the sin, in order to unite to the Almighty God Who is all holy, we must go through the pure and sinless one.

Adam and Eve sinned. The Father sends His Son into the world to pay the price for man's sins. Jesus is the New Adam; Mary is the New Eve. Man continues to sin, greatly displeasing God. The Father allows Mary to appear to Bernadette at Lourdes as the Immaculate Conception, as having been conceived without original sin. The Father then allows Mary to appear to the children of Fatima as the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

We are sinners, we cannot unite closely to Him unless we go through Mary.

Mary is the pure and sinless one. We can unite deeply to Him. We are in darkness in varying degrees. The more we are saturated with His life, the more we see.

The reign of God is at hand. He came to the earth, He died, He rose on the third day. He gave to the Apostles the power to change bread and wine into His Body and Blood. He gave to them the power to forgive sins. He established His Church pouring forth from His pierced side. We do not see the great gifts that He has given to us. He is giving to us great insights into these gifts. God is giving to us great graces to see the light now. He is lifting the veil.

There will be an era of peace and all will see with such light as Isaiah speaks of in Chapter 30, verse 26:

Then moonlight will be
bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself will be
seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-…

Man sinned. Jesus came to redeem us. Man is still so sinful. Mary appears at Fatima. She tells us that we are offending God, that we must make reparation to her heart and the Heart of her Son.

She gives us the peace plan for the world. She tells us that the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and her Immaculate Heart will triumph but we must do what she says. The Church has approved Fatima. The devil has blocked the message. How can we disobey our Mother? How can we ignore her? Mary appeared at Fatima and was ignored. The plan of the Father will unfold despite any person's willfulness.

We are not listening to Mary. Man has sinned. Jesus came to redeem us. Mary tells us what we must do. Men are disobedient. They disobeyed their Mother. They do not do what she told them what they must do at Fatima. When hearts are consecrated to Jesus and Mary they become holy hearts, deeply one with God. The reign of the Sacred Heart is at hand for He has given to us abundant grace that we are seeing with such clarity. When we stay after Communion and go before the tabernacle He gives to us great graces. The more we become one in Him the more He enlightens our minds. We know Him in this oneness we share with Him, especially after Communion and before the tabernacle.

The more we focus on what Mary has told us, the more we will have peace. She is the Queen of Peace. Our Lord has entrusted the peace of the world to her. We are spreading the good news when we spread the consecration.

We must heed the words of our Mother. She will not go away because of willful men. We have angered God more by ignoring Mary. There is only one way: it is the plan that Mary has given to us at Fatima.

Many in the Shepherds of Christ Movement are fervently loving Him. In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, as the apostles spread the consecration to the Church, the family and the school, the fire of His love will cover the earth and it will be lighted with this love coming from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph.

We, in the Shepherds of Christ Movement are under the direction of Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J., helping to spread the fire of His love across the earth through the consecration.

The hearts of men will turn from their sick and desolate ways to hearts gentle as a little lamb. There will be one flock and one Shepherd and His staff will rule over all. Hearts consecrated to Their Hearts will lead the light across the earth. This light will be a light of intense brightness, brighter and hotter than any light from a flame. It will be the fire of God's love. The Spirit will move in all hearts consecrated to His Heart, and we will know how fire truly spreads, for the love of God is a fire, it is vibrant, it is encompassing, it is smoldering, burning deep within and speedily spreading on the outside. No fires on this earth can ever describe the burning embers that burn from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. No fire burns like the fires coming from His Heart and hearts filled with the love from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

On October 13, 1917 Our Lady gave to Lucia and 70,000 spellbound people, a great vision: the sun spun in the sky, casting off great lights. This happened three times in about 12 minutes.

It seemed that the whole world was on fire, with the sun spinning at a greater speed each time.
Then a gasp of terror rose from the crowd, for the sun seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come crashing down upon the horrified multitude…Just when it seemed that the ball of fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the sun resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as ever.¹⁰

Mary gave this tremendous sign at Fatima and people did not listen. The events that followed were as she had predicted since we disobeyed her. There was a brutal war, World War II. Mary appeared at Fatima six times to three children. The first vision was on May 13, 1917. The sixth and final vision was on October 13, 1917. On July 13, 1917, Mary showed the three children a vision of hell. She told them:

You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
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.¹¹

Mary told Jacinta, one of the visionaries from Fatima, "I can no longer restrain the hand of my Divine Son from striking the world with just punishments for its many crimes."¹²

Adam and Eve sinned. God the Father, sent His Son. Man continues to sin-the Father sends Mary but she is ignored!

Peace will abound when nations, churches, families and individuals are consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Shepherds of Christ Movement, under the direction of Fr. Carter, is a pillar of light in the darkness.

We must encourage all to consecrate their hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus and to join the Shepherds of Christ chapters, and the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement, to pray for priests in a special way, for our Church, and our world.

This Movement is to help in the renewal of the Church and the world, based in consecration, joining our every act to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying the rosary, and making reparation to Their Hearts, especially on First Fridays and First Saturday. We will help to save many souls through our prayers and sacrifices. Our consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary greatly helps us in this regard. Their Hearts and the fire of His love will light up this darkened world.

Many are living in darkness because they are not obeying Our Lady. The people will see the light when they obey her and consecrate their hearts to her heart and the Heart of Jesus.

To have this intense union with Jesus, with God, we must give ourselves to Our Lady. It is there in the intimacy with Him that we are saturated with His life and that He reveals to us great lights, great insights into His divine mysteries. Yes, indeed, the light will steel across the earth and the hearts of men will be hearts filled with His love. They will know their God with great light imparted to them by the Holy Spirit, a light given to them because of the deep union that they have with Jesus. The reign of the Sacred Heart is at hand.

Isaiah 30:26:

Then moonlight will be
bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself will be
seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-…

Isaiah 30:25:

On every lofty mountain,
on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses,
on the day of the great slaughter
when the strongholds fall.

Truly His Heart is the fountain of divine life. It flows through the Church, through the hands of His holy priests. When priests are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and celebrating the Mass, and administering the Sacraments, an immense amount of His grace will be outpoured on the earth.

A people in darkness have seen a great light. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, the Light of the World!

Our Father…thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We will all love as the Father intends, for now He looks to the earth and He sees it covered with darkness. As hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the earth will be covered with His light.

Revelations 12:1-12:

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born. The woman was delivered of a boy, the son who was to rule all the nations with an iron scepter, and the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne, while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty days.

And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the dragon. The dragon fought back with his angels, but they were defeated and driven out of heaven. The great dragon, the primeval serpent, known as the devil or Satan, who had led all the world astray, was hurled down to the earth and his angels were hurled down with him. Then I heard a voice shout from heaven, "Salvation and power and empire for ever have been won by our God, and all authority for his Christ, now that the accuser, who accused our brothers day and night before our God, has been brought down. They have triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word to which they bore witness, because even in the face of death they did not cling to life. So let the heavens rejoice and all who live there; but for you, earth and sea, disaster is coming-because the devil has gone down to you in a rage, knowing that he has little time left."

We are in Mary's spiritual womb (heart). She is pregnant, bringing forth her children of light. As we go to her heart, she crushes the head of the serpent. Some of the brightest stars that will light up the earth are in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. We are the children of light. We are being sent forth as she brings us forth her children of light to stamp out the darkness. We must give ourselves to Mary.

LOVE BEYOND LOVE IS FOUND IN THEIR HEARTS

Such an experience: a piano tuner was at Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church and I had to wait in the car a long time before I could pray because it was so noisy.

I envisioned Our Lady of Lourdes, so young and beautiful in the Lourdes grotto. It was so gorgeous. I was meditating on the Joyful Mysteries. My insides are filled with such love of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I love Him. I long for Him. I thirst for Him. I love His life. All I want is Him. I want a deeper union with Him.

I unite to my beloved God in this deep union on the fifth of October of 1995. I have special experiences with Our Lady here on the fifth of the month. I think it was a little after twelve-thirty that I experienced the penetrating love of the Trinity. I felt saturated with immense peace.

I experience His presence so strong in this church. I long and thirst and want such union with Him. My whole body and soul calls out to be one in Him. My soul calls out for the courts of the Lord, to be united more and more deeply with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

I love to pray at Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church before the Lourdes grotto and the big crucifix in the back of the church. I experience special graces there. We are all God's creatures. He is our Creator. We are sinful and have offended God by our sinfulness. We need to pray the Divine Mercy, especially at 3:00, and beg for mercy for our sins and the sins of the whole world.

Mary's heart was invisibly pierced with a sword. Think of the sword deeply entering her precious heart of love. Think of the lance deeply piercing Jesus' Heart. Whenever we go through deep suffering, we suffer with Him. If I dwell deeply in Their Hearts and you dwell deeply in Their Hearts, we are united in deep love in Their Hearts. The more you live in Their Hearts and I live in Their Hearts, the deeper we are united. All people who want to know love, will find real love in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I am deeply united to my brothers that are greatly saturated with divine grace. Love beyond all love is found in Their Hearts. Life comes to us from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, through the heart of Mary that was invisibly pierced by a sword seven times. We act as channels of this life to all.

I see the love between Jesus and Mary all through the rosary. I see the great love of these two Hearts. I want to be in this great love existing between Them, therefore I go to the heart of Mary and she places me deeply in the Heart of her Son. She dwells most perfectly in His Heart. Look at the mysteries of the rosary. See the Hearts beating in the same body during the Annunciation and the Visitation. See Mary hold that little baby Jesus, the Christ Child, and nurse Him with her milk. Jesus received His physical life through the body of Mary. We receive a sharing in His divine life through Mary, the Mediatrix of all graces, Mother of our Christ-life, most holy Mother of our love. I see this interaction of deepest love all through the rosary. It is in meditating on the love between Them that I am filled with such satisfaction when I dwell in Their Hearts.

At Fatima, Mary told Jacinta that Jesus wants His Heart venerated next to His Mother's heart. We receive the deepest love when we dwell in the two Hearts. Look at Their Hearts in the fourth Joyful Mystery of the rosary, the Presentation in the Temple. Simeon told Mary that a sword too would pierce her heart. From that moment on, Mary knew sufferings were to come. Each time she looked at baby Jesus, she remembered the prophesy of Simeon, and she had a constant ache in her heart. Jesus knew all things. Mary's and Jesus' Hearts were joined in greater union knowing the sufferings to come. Look at the picture of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Look at the faces of Jesus and Mary. They shared the deepest intimacy. Jesus and Mary want us to consecrate our hearts to Their Hearts. This is the message of Fatima: unless a sufficient number of people consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world. All through the rosary we see what deep love really is.

The highest human person unites in deepest union with the Almighty God in His Divinity and humanity. When we unite to these two Hearts, we are caught in love's deep embrace. This is our little heaven on earth-being in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. He took me to the inner chamber of His Heart, and there I experienced the all embracing presence of God.

This book is to help us to unite more deeply to the greatest sacrifice there is on this earth this day. This book is to help us to be joined in this one sacrifice all over this world. This book is to help us to live according to the Father's plan as children of God, as one body in Him. As we consecrate our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, as we dwell within Their Hearts, They live in us in this world today. We are lights to this world. Our hearts are lighted with the power of "…the light of the world…" (Jn. 8:12), Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. When we dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we are plugged in and shine with His burning love. We are caught in love's embrace. The Father looks at this world, and He sees the darkness. His little children consecrated to Mary's and Jesus' Hearts are lights shining in the dark world.

As the Shepherds of Christ Movement moves across the land and more and more of God's children join the fold, more and more hearts will be lighted with the fire of God's love. There will be one flock and one Shepherd. There will be an era of peace in which the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign. The Shepherds of Christ Movement is trying to help renew the Church and the world. It is centered in consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We are saturated with grace when we dwell in Their Hearts. We are helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of the Sacred Heart. We want to be deeply united to Jesus' Heart and to Mary's heart as we go ever closer to the Father in the Holy Spirit.

We are as lights on a Christmas tree. If we are plugged in, the whole tree lights up. God has all the power. He is an endless Source of power and light. If each person in this world was as a light on the Christmas tree, if each person was plugged into the Source of power, the Heart of Jesus through Mary's heart, the whole world would shine as the brightest Christmas tree.

The Father looks to this earth and sees much darkness. Darkness has covered the earth. Satan is pressing down on this earth. Satan causes confusion and division in our hearts. He keeps us focused on problems when we could be talking to Jesus. Mary protects us with her motherly love. She guards us, her children. More than any earthly mother, she loves us. We can go to her heart for protection. We must put aside distractions, confusion, and division in our hearts. We come to her heart with a heart that is humble. Satan talks in our mind and causes us to feel upset many times. We must let go.

The way to the light is through Their Hearts. His love burns deeply for us. We must not give into the distractions in our minds.

Go to the tabernacle. Jesus will give us our answers. He is waiting for us to come. We must come and sit in silence and let Him work in our hearts. We will be filled deeply with His life. We must not be filled with fear. We should be filled with hope and joy. We must pray to the Holy Spirit to give us His wisdom to know the will of the Father. Mary is our Mother. She will help us with all our trials and all of our struggles. We must discipline our thoughts and go to the Heart of Jesus. It is through the Eucharist that we will be strengthened for all our trials.

We may have to face many sufferings. We will not be harmed. We are being protected by our heavenly Mother. She spreads her mantle over us. We must surrender and go to Their Hearts. We must be deeply united in Their Hearts. We must meditate on the presence of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit within us. We must pray for the grace to know and love God more. We should pray to the Father, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, through the powerful intercession of the Virgin Mary.

We should pray all through the day and offer all our actions to the Father with our petitions in the morning. It is our job to spread the love of Jesus to the world. The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign. We should pray for the spread of the devotion to Their two Hearts and consecrate ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary everyday.

Our hearts are as the light bulbs on the Christmas tree, ready to be lighted with His light and His love. We will light this world with the fire of Jesus' love burning in our hearts. The earth remains in darkness. Mary spoke to us at Fatima, but many people do not listen to her message given there.

Mary said at Fatima that until a sufficient number of her children are consecrating their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.

When many lights are lighted on the Christmas tree, the whole tree will appear to be lighted.

The Father wants the whole earth lighted with the fire of God's love. He gave His Son as a sacrifice that we would have eternal life. When many light bulbs are dark, the whole tree looks dark, but the few that are lighted stand out against the darkness.

We must stay rooted in Him. We must plug our hearts into Mary's heart and she will plug us into her Son's Heart. He is the power Source. His power never runs out. His power is never dimmed. Only in Him will the light shine. Mary our Mother, we give you our hearts. Place them in the Heart of your Son that we will be one body in Him, that we will light up the earth. The lights shown as the brightest light, and they covered the earth. The light to this world is the fire of God's love.

The priest needs to feed the people with the love of God. When people come to the Mass and the Sacraments, they are spiritually fed.

The world cries out to be fed. The Church is the body of Christ. Jesus has chosen each priest and anointed him as Christ alive in this world today. The greatest calling is to be called to be a holy priest by Our Lord Himself. How dearly He loves His beloved priests and longs for their love. As He suffered so during His bitter Passion for the lack of love of some of His chosen priests betrothed to Him, He was comforted by His holy priests. Jesus truly loves His sacred priests.

Jesus must live in the priest. The priest's every action must be one with Jesus. He is a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

When a priest is filled with the love of Jesus, He will unite more deeply with Christ in the great sacrifice being offered to the Father. In the holy sacrifice of the Mass, the faithful will see Jesus through the priest offering sacrifice to the Father. We will lift our eyes and we will feel, at this great sacrifice, the presence of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We unite in offering sacrifice to the Father. We all unite as one and give ourselves in such oneness with Jesus, in such love to the Father, in the Holy Spirit. We die to all those things that are not of Him and join in this great miracle taking place. The Father looks down and He sees the sacrifice of His beautiful Son through the consecrated hands of His holy priests. Heaven unites to earth. Earth cries out in such jubilation at the great gift given from the Almighty God, and we unite as creatures giving ourselves as a sacrifice to our beloved Creator. Do we experience the presence of God as His power flows through the hands of a man, the priest who takes ordinary bread and wine and changes them into the Body and Blood of Our Lord? Do we hear Jesus cry out, as He did at the last supper, with the intensity in His voice reflecting all knowledge of the upcoming events of His passion and death?

Do we hear the priest say the words of consecration with the emotion of Jesus, about to give His life for His beloved souls? And the earth stands still. There is, at that moment, the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present through the hands of the priest. Oh, that God so loved this world to give His only Son as a sacrifice and that God wants us in this deep oneness with Him. I give You myself, my beautiful God, as You so willingly gave Yourself to me on Calvary. I want to die with You.

Love between two persons is mutual giving. It is interaction between two people. It is intimacy. It is dependent on how much we give. We receive intimacy, interaction, according to how much we put into it. God gives His all. We see Him hanging, covered with blood, crowned with thorns, hands and feet pierced. We see His precious heart, font of life and love and mercy, pierced. This is freedom. He shows us the way. We give ourselves. We sacrifice and beg to be made holy, beg to be like Him in this holy sacrifice. The most important aspect of our offering sacrifice is how we are in our heart. Are we one with Jesus, giving ourselves to our beloved Father Who is all worthy of our love? Who are we that God loves us creatures so much that He, Almighty God, becomes present, no less present than the day He walked this earth, through the hands of a man, and we take it so lightly. Think of Jesus calling out. Raise the Host high, beloved priests. This is the Son of God and you have been given the greatest honor on this earth.

God comes to us. He gives Himself to us. Let us see ourselves as one in Him. Let us unite. Let us look at ourselves, all creatures of our beloved God, God, all Holy, all Magnificent, Almighty, all Powerful, and see what He gives us. Let us see ourselves as His creatures and Him as the Creator, and look at ourselves and see how we, and all men, are offending our precious God. As we unite, we beg, beg, with this holy sacrifice of His Son, for mercy. We watch it flow from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the font of grace and mercy, the pierced Heart of Jesus, through the heart of Mary, by the hands of the priest, who is one with Jesus, to us. We are so joined in such oneness with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We have given ourselves to Them. It is here, united to Christ in such oneness, that my sacrifice is received by the loving hands of the Father. It is in this oneness that He pours out His grace. We unite through Him, with Him, and in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, and we beg for mercy as His creatures who have offended our beloved God. This is our gift to You, our beloved Father. As Vatican II says, in union with the priest, we offer the Son to the Father. We give Him the greatest thanks for this holy and living sacrifice. We unite with the whole Church. We ask to be nourished by His Body and Blood, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and increasingly become one body in Him. We join with Mary and all the saints and constantly plead for help through this sacrifice. Through this sacrifice may we make peace with You and peace for the salvation of the whole world. We pray in love and faith for your pilgrim Church, for the Pope, our bishop and all bishops, all clergy and all people. We ask the Father to hear the prayers of His family and ask Him in mercy and love to unite all children the world over. We ask the Father to take all our brothers and sisters that have died, that were good, into heaven. And we pray that we will have the vision of Your glory, through Christ, Our Lord, and we pray through Him, with Him and in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit. All glory and honor is Yours, Almighty Father, forever and ever.

We pray to the Father, with all our hearts and all our love, the 'Our Father.' We say every word. We say with such love, 'Our Father,' we pray that Thy kingdom comes on earth as it is in heaven. We want this kingdom here, we are all brothers and sisters and God is Our Father and we want all men doing His will. We ask to be fed both spiritually and physically every day. We beg to be free from evil and have peace. We ask Him to keep us free from sin and anxiety and hope for His coming. We pray that the kingdom and power and the glory are God's now and forever. We give to each other peace and we beg for forgiveness and mercy. We are sinful, but we want mercy. We stand. We should shout out to the Father, "Look how sinful we are!" We beg for mercy for our sins and those of all men.

I experience the action of the Holy Spirit in a special way from the Consecration of the Mass. It fills me with such anticipation to receive Jesus, and I want to be holy. From the Consecration, I give myself to the Father, united in the Holy Spirit, in a special way. Consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, I experience God. I love the Mass so much. The rest of this book that follows are my experiences during Mass, after Communion, and other times. Many are experiences at Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. For four months straight I experienced special moments with my beloved Jesus there daily.

Joyful Mysteries

                The Annunciation

                The Birth of Jesus

                (1) Luke 2: 1-20

Now it happened that at this time Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be made of the whole inhabited world. This census—the first—took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria, and everyone went to be registered, each to his own town. So Joseph set out from the town of Nazareth in Galilee for Judaea, to David’s town called Bethlehem, since he was of David’s House and line, in order to be registered together with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. Now it happened that, while they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to a son, her first–born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the living–space. In the countryside close by there were shepherds out in the fields keeping guard over their sheep during the watches of the night. An angel of the Lord stood over them and the glory of the Lord shone round them. They were terrified, but the angel said, ‘Do not be afraid. Look, I bring you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. And here is a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.’ And all at once with the angel there was a great throng of the hosts of heaven, praising God with the words: 

    Glory to God in the highest heaven, 
    and on earth peace for those he favours. 

    Now it happened that when the angels had gone from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, ‘Let us go to Bethlehem and see this event which the Lord has made known to us.’ So they hurried away and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. When they saw the child they repeated what they had been told about him, and everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds said to them. As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as they had been told.

THE INCARNATION

The Father communicates to us through His Son. The Holy Spirit unites with Mary in bringing forth the Son, Jesus. Divinity is united to humanity in her womb. Sin is not present in the Incarnation of Christ. Mary is sinless. She united with God.

Eve is the mother of the living. The sin is passed down from Adam and Eve. Jesus and Mary are the New Adam and the New Eve. Mary is the new Mother of the living. She is the Mother of the Church. We are being formed in the image and likeness of Jesus. She is our Mother. The Incarnation goes on in us.

By Baptism, we partake in His life, death, and Resurrection, dying to all that is not Him and rising to Him in new life. At every Mass, at the Consecration, we unite to Him, dying on the cross, as we die to our ways that are not like God. We offer ourselves to the Father. (At the Offertory, we offer ourselves with the bread and wine. If bread can be changed into His Body and wine can be changed into His Blood, we too can be changed from our selfish, ungodly ways. We are tainted with the results of original sin. We become more and more like Him through the Mass. We die to ourselves to become more like Him.)

Our Mother stands beneath the cross. We are molded more and more in His image and likeness in the Holy Spirit. She is the New Eve. "Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars." (Rv. 12:1) She is constantly forming us in her womb. She is giving birth to us, as we unite with Him in such intimacy at Communion.

I am transformed in the Holy Spirit. The more I outpour my love to the Holy Spirit, to Jesus, and to the Father, the more my insides burn.

THE PROMISE OF OUR LADY AT FATIMA

The promise of Our Lady at Fatima is this:

My daughter, look at My Heart surrounded with the thorns with which ungrateful men pierce it at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. You, at least, try to console me, and say that I promise to assist at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for salvation all those who, on the first Saturday of five consecutive months, go to Confession and receive Holy Communion, recite five decades of the Rosary and keep me company for a quarter of an hour while meditating on the mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me.⁴³

Our Lady of Fatima requested us to carry out the following devotions on the first Saturdays. She promises us the graces necessary for salvation at the hour of death. We must follow the devotion as Our Lady stipulated.

...The practice of the five first Saturdays involves:

1) Going to confession, which may be done from eight days before to 8 days after the first Saturday. Of course, if a person is in the state of serious sin, the confession must be made before receiving Communion.
2) Receiving Holy Communion.
3) Recitation of five decades of the rosary.
4) Meditating for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the rosary.

All of the above [except confession] must be done on the first Saturday of five consecutive months with the intention of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart. For those who make the five first Saturdays, Our Lady of Fatima has promised to assist them at the hour of death with all the graces necessary for salvation.⁴⁴

SO TENDERLY HE LOVES US

Written on First Friday:

Such remorse for the irreverence I have given to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament! He has given to me such graces and sharing into His precious love before the tabernacle and after Communion.

So many tender moments, I recall His tender love, such great gifts I have been given! I reminisce my closeness to Him, moments I share with Him, these special moments after Communion and in front of the tabernacle at the Center.

I am so ungrateful for His great gifts to me.

He is so alive and truly present with His deep love and how I offend Him and take His presence and His gifts for granted.

I want to cherish each and every moment of His tender love spent with me. I love Him so much. It is in realizing this that I love Him deeper.

How tenderly He loves us despite our indifference and ingratitude!

I realize His presence, my precious Love, and how dear these memories and moments are to me. They mean more to me than anything in my life and how ungrateful I am for these precious gifts from Him! He could take away the Eucharist, the availability of the tabernacle. I love You, my Savior. He gives me as I need.

He is treated so indifferently by so many. I see my indifference and ingratitude, and my heart is torn that I have offended my precious Lover.

I value every moment and every gift He is given me, more than the finest pearls, these are special gifts from our beloved Savior.

So tenderly He loves us. So ungratefully we treat Him!

Jesus is "…the Way…Truth and Life…" (Jn. 14:6) Jesus is our tender Lover. He wants us to love Him with a heart on fire. He wants us to talk about His love to the world. He suffered so much during the Passion for the indifference and disrespect given to Him this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the sacrament of His great love.

I did not realize how much these precious gifts mean to me. He is my life. He is my Love. He is Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

I love Him. I love Him. I love Him with my whole heart and my whole soul.

If I have Him, I have it all. I should never complain about anything. I am so ungrateful.

                (7) From the Mass Book - September 1, 1995 continues

I love Him so much. To give up the tabernacle and the Eucharist would be such a loss, it is such a gift! We are so ungrateful. He continues to give us Himself, and He is ignored and forgotten. He continues to wait endless hours in the tabernacle.

What if we had to give up the Eucharist? What if we could not go to Mass? What if the priests were imprisoned and could not celebrate Mass?

Jesus gives the priest the power to change bread and wine into His Body and Blood. He gives the priest the power to baptize and forgive sins. The priest should be so reverent and filled with respect for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. What an honor for the priest to be chosen by Jesus and given this great gift. The priest should sing with joy because he is anointed by God Who loves him so much.

I have an awareness of the great gifts given from our God - a piece of fresh fruit, a blue sky, a sunlit day. I am aware of the goodness of God, imprinted deeply in my being.

I can focus on the exposed Eucharist in the main chapel today, September 1, 1995 at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. Flowers surround Jesus. How deeply He loves me. I feel my deep love for Him, reminiscing on all my close moments with Him.

I realize so much how He loves us. I have a great love affair with my precious God. I love His life.

I have treated Him so indifferently. I am not talking before the Blessed Sacrament ever again.

At His name all knees must bow and bend low to our Almighty God!

                (8) From the Mass Book - August 20, 1996 Rosary - Agony in the Garden

1. Always in compliance to the Father's will, we see this as we mediate on all the mysteries of the rosary, how Jesus and Mary always complied to the will of the Father. To have peace and joy in our lives, we must always comply to the will of the Father. We see Jesus in the garden, His face covered with a bloody sweat, and at any moment He could have stopped everything. He could have withdrawn. He, the Almighty God, all powerful and almighty, about to undergo the cruel Passion and His death, and He sees this before Him. He sees all the sins of men and all the men that would reject the grace that He merited for them, but what did He think of? He saw us. He saw us here this night praying, and it filled His Heart with immense joy. It gave Him so much pleasure in His Heart to know that we would love Him so much, for He is a Person and He longs to be loved by His beloved creatures. We do not comprehend and we do not understand how much Jesus is waiting and longing for our love. Let us, in this rosary, give our love to Him by giving our complete attention to Him and listening to the words that He speaks to our hearts. Let us hear Jesus as He outpours His love to us and teaches us about Himself.

                The Presentation

                (1) Luke 2: 25-34

Now in Jerusalem there was a man named Simeon. He was an upright and devout man; he looked forward to the restoration of Israel and the Holy Spirit rested on him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death until he had set eyes on the Christ of the Lord. Prompted by the Spirit he came to the Temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the Law required, he took him into his arms and blessed God; and he said:

    Now, Master, you are letting 
        your servant go in peace 
    as you promised; 
    for my eyes have seen the salvation 
    which you have made ready 
        in the sight of the nations; 
    a light of revelation for the gentiles 
    and glory for your people Israel.

As the child’s father and mother were wondering at the things that were being said about him, Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother, ‘Look, he is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, destined to be a sign that is opposed—

2. How many times have we felt like we have gone through this Passion too in our lives? Have we felt buckled over and filled with pain? It is so hard sometimes. We are trying so hard in this world, that does not recognize God as it should, to please the Almighty God, and it seems like we are pressed on and pressed on, and we say, "God please help us. Take this cross away." But He allows us to continue to suffer, and we do not understand. It is in the death that there is the resurrection. Constantly in our lives, we live this Paschal mystery of death - resurrection. Let us mediate on the mysteries of this rosary, His suffering and His death, and let us think all through these mysteries how He rose victorious on the third day, how it is through His death that we share in His Divine life. Let us think of how it is to know God and to love Him. It is because of Jesus, because of His Passion and His death, that we are able to partake in His Divine life. Through our little deaths, there is always the resurrection. As we go through our lives, we grow more and more in this life in Him. Mary, the Mother of our Christ-life, is there with us, is leading us deeply into the Heart of her Son.

                (3) From the Mass Book - August 20, 1996 Rosary - Agony in the Garden

3. Treasure beyond all treasures is the Heart of Jesus. The Heart filled with endless, Divine love, the Heart from which the life of God flows. They pierced His Heart with a lance and what came forth was blood and water. Water - a symbol of Baptism whereby we partake in His Divine life. Blood - a symbol of the Eucharist by which we are fed with the Bread of Life. Oh God, how we love You! Let our hearts be focused only on You in this rosary. As we see Your face covered with blood, as we see the blood drop to the ground, as we know the immense mental agony that You suffered in the garden, the suffering to know how You would be rejected and forgotten by those that You gave Your life for, may we know a little bit, just a little, of how much You truly love us. We love You. We love You. We love You, Jesus Christ the Savior of the world.

"I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you, I come to you this day."
He has come to set brother against brother, mother against son, husband against wife. He is Jesus Christ the Son of God. He gives us His life, and He gives us His love. We must focus totally on His love for us. We must come to Him and give Him our love and give love to one another. This is the commandment that He gives to us - that we love God with our whole heart, our whole soul, and our whole being, and we love one another as we love ourselves.

                (5) From the Mass Book - August 20, 1996 Rosary - Agony in the Garden

5. Mental torment, how He suffered mental torment in the garden, but His thoughts were comforted by the love that we give to Him this evening. Put aside all of the thoughts in our hearts that do not pertain to Him, and focus totally on our beloved Savior. He gave His life for us. Will we give Him our minds and our hearts at this moment, and let Him fill us with His grace that we will share more and more in His life? He is giving to us a great treasure at this moment. We must open our hearts and let Him pour His grace into our hearts and into our souls. He is Jesus. He loves us with the most burning love we do not even comprehend. Our souls are thirsty for the love of God. We were created for this love. Nothing on this earth will satisfy this craving, this appetite within. We must put aside all of the thoughts in our minds, in our hearts and focus on Him, for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is Jesus the Son of God, our Savior, our Redeemer, our King, our Lover. Open our hearts, and He will fill our hearts with Divine love. He loves us. He loves us. He loves us.

                (6) From the Mass Book - August 20, 1996 Rosary - Scourging at the Pillar

1. They took Him away and they tied Him to the pillar, and they began to beat Him. They took turns beating our beloved Savior. Stand there. Let us picture ourselves tied to the pillar. Picture us. How is the love in our hearts? Would we stand at the pillar and allow men that we loved to tear our flesh, knowing full well that we could stop it at any moment? He stood at the pillar and they tore His flesh, and His blood fell to the ground. He withstood this for our sins. Do we know how He suffered for our sins, the sins that we commit towards our brothers, when we talk about our brothers, those that He loves? His way is love. We are His apostles of love. We must be holy. Our hearts must be filled with holiness. We must go into the world and always show others how to love. We cannot talk about others. We must have hearts filled with love. Only in love will our hearts unite to His Heart. People are watching us. We are the stars against the darkest night. Will we shine or will we be dull? In order to shine, our hearts must be likened to His Heart. We must give Him our hearts, and He will turn our hearts to hearts of love.

                (8) Sing: In My Heart

                (9) From the Mass Book - August 20, 1996 Rosary - Scourging at the Pillar

2. How we insist and insist to do it our way and try and try and try. Do we know that He is with us at every moment? We must admit our dependency on Him. We must surrender and say, "Jesus, I am totally dependent on You. I want to be loving, but I fall. I am a little baby. I need You to help me to love like You. I cannot do it on my own." We must go to confession, and tell the priest of the times when we talked about our beloved brothers, for He stood at the pillar and He was beaten for our sins, and He was beaten for our brothers that He loves. He is teaching us in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to be of one mind and one heart. Our hearts will unite in the deepest union with His Heart, but we must surrender. We must not let thoughts of bitterness and hatred toward one another creep into our hearts. He is allowing us to suffer, and He is allowing us to watch ourselves fall, for we will come crawling on our knees and beg Him, "to help me." "Help me, God," you will say. "Help me. I want to love like You, but I cannot do it myself."

                The Finding of Child Jesus in the Temple

                (1) Ezekiel 28: 2-10

                (2) From the Mass Book - August 20, 1996 Rosary - Scourging at the Pillar

9. We cannot be divided with any person and have peace in our hearts. Our hearts must be hearts of love. We must give up any bitterness and division in our hearts towards any person, for He is God and in His Heart there is not division. He is calling us His apostles of love, His little army that He has called and brought to this room this evening. We must be as the brightest stars shining against the darkened night, for He is Jesus; He is the Almighty God, and He has called us to carry the messages of His burning love to this world, to the priests, to the sisters, to all those that are hurting and in pain. As He stood at the pillar and He was whipped for the sins of men, He knew that we would answer this call. And it was joy to His Heart as the blood ran down His body. His Heart was comforted, and He was filled with such pleasure because of the work and love that we would give to others, because of the souls that we would help to be saved. We are His stars that will shine in the darkest night. We have been called. We have been chosen, and He has given to us such grace that we can carry out this mission. We can say "no" to Him, but it was there when He was scourged that our "yes" comforted Him. In His greatest agony, He saw us as He hung on the cross. His body withered and in pain, He saw us, and He saw the love that would go forth from our hearts into this world. He loves us with such love. He gave Himself for love of us and for all souls. Will we help our brothers to know His love?

                (3) From the Mass Book - August 20, 1996 Rosary - Crucifixion

4. The grace that was merited by Christ through His life and death on the cross is released in abundant proportion in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The more we unite in this oneness with the Mass, the more this grace is released. Our world is in a desperate state. We must unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in our morning offering, every morning, uniting each one of our activities with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

                (4) From the Mass Book - August 20, 1996 Rosary - Crucifixion

5. All of our actions are magnified, and immense amount of grace is released on us and on this world when we unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in all of our actions.

                (5) From the Mass Book

RELATIONSHIPS: BE IN ONE HEART WITH ALL MEN

Between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., Divine Mercy time:

My dear Jesus,
I have been troubled for a long time with my relationship with others. To have a heart like Yours, I cannot have division in my heart toward any man. I feel separation between myself and many others. To be in one heart with all men, I must not have division with any person, primarily my family. I must, at all times, stay one with my husband and obey him unless he tells me to commit a sin. I must be loyal to him.

Everything is as it is for You have allowed it in my life. I must always live in the Father's will to have peace in my life. Nothing that is right need be hidden. I do not have to reveal myself to every person, but I must remain undivided and one with all my brothers in Christ at all times.

My primary concern is that of being obedient to You and living in the Father's will.

Fr. Carter is my spiritual director. He represents You to me on this earth. He tells me what You would tell me, and You have given to him great graces to help me draw closer to You. Nothing I do on this earth is of any account if it divides me from You. Under obedience, I must comply always to what he tells me. My closeness to him is as my spiritual director. You act through him and guide him in his actions to draw me closer to You.

I thank Him for all He has given to me and am forever grateful for His deep love for me!

I see as never before, since December 15, when I was enveloped in His love and existed in Him. From this point on, the goal of my life must be to live to try to be as my heavenly Father wants me to be. I am weak and I fail, but my goal is to love God above all things, to always do His will, to want nothing but to please Him as a most devoted child, living to please her Father. I love God with my whole heart and my whole soul and my whole being. I love each and every Person of the Trinity. I love God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I know and love Him as one. I know and love God as one. I know and love God in each Person of the Trinity. I know so much from standing under the crucifix and being so united to Him on December 15, 1995. He lifted the veil and I saw with eyes unveiled.

                (6) From the Mass Book - December 21, 1995 continues

I saw with eyes unveiled. I know now the immense concern of His Heart. His Heart is a Heart of endless love. It is burning. It engulfs a soul. He takes them unto Himself. He gives us special moments in which many things are made clear. In that moment, I was embraced by His burning love. I was swept within the deepest chamber of His Heart and heard the roar of the fire from His Heart. In that moment, I knew what it was to be united to God. My eyes were unveiled, and I was enveloped and swallowed up by His presence. I existed in Him. I existed in the endless cavern of His divine love. I wanted for nothing. I felt satisfied, for in that moment I was absorbed in Him, and I knew no fear being united to love itself.

I do not think that I am better than anyone. He has given to me great gifts to share His burning love to all. With all my heart, for my whole life, I will spend all my waking hours trying to please Him and tell this world of His love, my whole life being lived to love God and my fellow man.

Oh, that He loves us so much that He gave Himself for us, and He gives Himself to us now. In the deepest recesses of His Heart, I will find shelter from the rain and the storm, for the embers of His Heart burn the brightest and we cannot even comprehend this deep cavern of His endless love.

He took me to the deepest chamber of His Heart, and I was embraced by the love of God. To this day, I will not be the same. I saw with unveiled eyes, and I saw, as He allowed me to see, with His divine wisdom. Many things being made clear, I embraced eternity, and I know the presence of God as never before.

Alleluia, Alleluia. He is a God, true and just, Who knows no favorites, but loves all His precious souls with an unfathomable love. Alleluia.

(I had a dream about a little boy riding his bike. A bunch of hungry kids would kill him. I woke up and my heart was sick.)

We must be willing as a little child to suffer martyrdom for His sake. We will love to the bitter end, for in the cavern of His endless love there is no fear. Perfect love cast out fear. The Holy Spirit fills our hearts with the fire of God's love, and we are indeed made fearless in His love.

The wind may blow and the earth shake, and we will not fear for we exist In God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We are one with the heart of Mary and one with the world and all its inhabitants. To know Him is to love all He created, and to know Him is to love all. There will be one heart and one soul, all united under the reign of His Sacred Heart. The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign, and we will be one in Their Hearts.

                (7) Jesus shows us unity in the
                        Holy Family.
 

                (8) From the Mass Book - December 21, 1995 continues

To know Him, to be one in Him is to exist in His love. We will be joined in one heart with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary were joined in one body before His birth. We will be joined in one heart, all the members of the body of Christ. The Church is the body of Christ. Jesus is the Head. Mary is the Mother of the Church. Mary is our Mother; the Father is Our Father.

As members of His body, we will be like Him in our actions. He lives in the hearts of His members and His love is emitted from their being.

We are one body in Him, joined as one heart in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

They were in the upper room, and the Holy Spirit descended on them and they were as one mind. We will be one mind and one heart, living in the Father's will.

They were one mind and one heart for they knew His love, His burning love.

See the heavens and earth as one in Him, all living as being one. The unseen world is really real. What is really real is that which we do not see and do not fully comprehend. We do not know how we ourselves breathe and why our hearts beat and why, at one moment, our bodies will cease to be alive.

Man tries to explain everything with scientific reasoning. He cannot explain the vast universe and the life in the womb of a mother. He cannot explain the power of the sun, and he cannot control the weather, the clouds, a disease such as cancer. He cannot live on his own, he depends on a Being higher than himself-this Being is the Almighty God! I see so clearly how our interior life must be rooted in Him.

We search. We want something to feed our starved souls. We want a person, place, or thing to fill the hunger within us. There is no other way. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. The more I search this empty wasteland, the more I am left empty. All things must be used according to His will, not too much, not too little, neither all nor nothing, but moderation in all things.

For me many times it was easier to be extreme one way or the other. This is not of God. All things are in moderation, according to His will, not my will. He gives us what we need to help us to grow in sanctity. If we do not learn the lessons, He increases His teachings. All things in moderation, according to His will.

We see hardened faces in this world. We know of the hardened hearts of men. The eyes are sullen, their actions self-centered and on the surface.

He is the source of life.

                (9) From the Mass Book - December 21, 1995 continues

He says:

I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
he prunes
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
that I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
-and withers;
these branches are collected
and thrown on the fire
and are burnt.
…My command to you
is to love one another. (Jn. 15:1-17)

He is the Life. We receive our life in Him. We are as the branches connected to the tree. If I am an isolated branch disconnected from the vine, I do not have life in me. I will wither and die.

We are one in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. As I become one in the sacrifice with Jesus and die to myself and offer myself to the Father. I am one in Him.

The oneness is deep, not lip service love. All members of the vine must live with their primary purpose to know, love, and serve Him. He died and what flowed forth from His Heart, His adorable Heart, was blood and water. He is the Source of our life. We are given and nourished by Him. As we become one in this Heart, one in the Sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present at the Mass, we become one in Him.

                (10) From the Mass Book - December 21, 1995 continues

His life comes to us through His Mother, Mary. She stood under the cross, and Jesus gave us His Mother as the Mother of our spiritual life. Our life in Him is in a constant state of becoming in the spiritual womb of our Mother through the action of the Holy Spirit. The life of the Church is in a constant state of becoming as Mary mothers the Church through the action of the Holy Spirit.

Life flows from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, and through the heart of Mary.

We cannot leave out the Source. To focus on the interaction only between the members is to cut off our life supply from the source. And what does He want? He wants life rooted in Him. He wants oneness with Him. He wants us saturated as watered and fed deeply in Him. To be saturated with His life, we will bear abundant fruit.

We must feed the hungry with the message of His burning love for them. To not have His divine life is to be starved.

So many this day have cut themselves off. They exist isolated from the vine. Their interior life lacks the light of His life. Their hearts are hungry. They exist in and of themselves. They have made themselves their gods. They exist with a gaze that is focused on self.

Unless we die to ourselves, we will not have life in Him. Man cannot serve two masters: He must be rooted in Him. These roots are deep penetration. The heart is the life of the body. In dwelling in His Heart and His Mother's heart (her heart that dwells most perfectly in His Heart), we are saturated with His divine life.

A branch cannot exist separate from the vine. Likewise, we cannot be one body in Him if we are not joined in one heart and one mind with Him.

The Father has a plan for us. We were uniquely created. Each branch of the tree has its own beauty. Each one of us, created in His image and likeness, have a beauty uniquely our own. It is in living in Him that our beauty reaches greater perfection as the Spirit's action works on us to sanctify us. He wants us holy as saints. He wants us to be joined in Him. He wants our goal to be a reflection of the God Who dwells within us. He wants to live in us and become one in us and live in this world in us.
