April 22, 1999

Messenger: No matter how barren the desert, we can look at the barrenness of the woman in the Bible that conceived a child that affected so many souls.

We see Elizabeth, the angel told Mary:

Luke 1:36-37

And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God.'

Jesus speaks: Yes, joy must enter your hearts, for a Son has been given to you, Jesus the Savior of the World.

But, my children, you spite Me and the joy is not within your hearts for you do not even recognize your need to be saved. You hide your sins from yourselves. My body, the Church, suffers immeasurable pain for your sin. When one sins, it affects all, likewise one who prays and lives according to My Father's will affects the whole body.

Oh children, I cry to you. My Body, racked with pain, carried all your sins. Now I give you this eternal sacrifice, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present in the Mass. My priests, do you feel the sin of your brothers and sisters deep in your heart and soul? My priests, mount My altar as I mounted the cross, carry the weight of the sins of the word, feel in your heart the pain, the utter pain I suffered for the vilest sins committed in the world.

I gave My Body as a sacrifice for your sins that you would be saved. They beat My Body. I carried the weight, I screamed in utter pain within My Soul for the horror of those sins you so freely consent to, and My children, you tell yourselves that you did not sin when in fact you have committed the vilest offenses against your God. Oh My men, please examine your consciences. Hell is forever. If you go to hell, you will suffer far worse than any little pain you may know here. There is total rejection in hell, suffering beyond all your imaginings, total absence of love. Hate permeates you. You will cry for relief, and there will be none, My beauteous souls, for whom I gave My life, My Body. You said "no" to My gifts, you lied to yourselves.

You must get in touch with your consciences and not your bank book, for the bank book will not be read on the day of reckoning, nor will the degrees of merit and trophies for a job well done that line your walls. Your golf clubs will be left behind and all your attachments and on that day you will go NAKED into the night. The day of reckoning is at hand. For those who lied and ignored My ways they will be repaid for their deeds. Hell is forever. Abortion is wrong, immoral sexual behavior is wrong, killing your own body through compulsive behavior whether it be sex, drugs, alcohol, use of any chemical against God's will, is wrong. You are not in control. So if your whole life was to exercise your free will to be on the top of the world, your little kingdom will wash to the ground in that moment of reckoning.

God the Father speaks: I am God, Maker of heaven and earth, I am the Father, My Son's hand is raised, QUIT LYING TO YOURSELVES!! YOU MUST OBEY THE COMMANDMENTS, MY MERCY IS GREAT, MY WRATH PROPORTIONAL TO YOUR CRIME and HOW MUCH YOU REPENTED for it. YOU SHALL NOT HAVE OTHER gods BESIDES ME!! I MUST BE FIRST IN YOUR LIFE. YOU MUST LOVE YOUR GOD WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART, YOUR WHOLE SOUL AND YOUR WHOLE BEING AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.

MY SON DIED FOR YOUR SINS. BEWARE YOU ARROGANT ONES - THE ONES PERSECUTING the CHILDREN AND LEADING THEM ASTRAY. TRUTH AND JUSTICE WILL KISS AND ALL THAT WILL REMAIN WILL BE THE THINGS OF GOD, for GOD WILL BE ALL IN ALL.

I AM THE FATHER. I HAVE SPOKEN, MEND YOUR WAYS - GO TO CONFESSION, I DESPISE LIES AND SINFULNESS.

Revelation 22:12-15

Look, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to repay everyone as their deeds deserve. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who will have washed their robes clean, so that they will have the right to feed on the tree of life and can come through the gates into the city. Others must stay outside: dogs, fortune-tellers, and the sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters, and everyone of false speech and false life.'

Revelation 18:10-24

while they keep at a safe distance through fear of her anguish. They will say:
Mourn, mourn for this great city,
Babylon, so powerful a city,
in one short hour
    your doom has come upon you.

'There will be weeping and distress over her among all the traders of the earth when no one is left to buy their cargoes of goods; their stocks of gold and silver, jewels and pearls, linen and purple and silks and scarlet; all the sandalwood, every piece in ivory or fine wood, in bronze or iron or marble; the cinnamon and spices, the myrrh and ointment and incense; wine, oil, flour and corn; their stocks of cattle, sheep, horses and chariots, their slaves and their human cargo.

'All the fruits you had set your hearts on have failed you; gone for ever, never to return again, is your life of magnificence and ease.

'The traders who had made a fortune out of her will be standing at a safe distance through fear of her anguish, mourning and weeping. They will be saying:

Mourn, mourn for this great city;
for all the linen and purple and scarlet
    that you wore,
for all your finery of gold and jewels
    and pearls;
your huge riches are all destroyed
    within a single hour.'

All the captains and seafaring men, sailors and all those who make a living from the sea kept a safe distance, watching the smoke as she burned, and crying out, 'Has there ever been a city as great as this!' They threw dust on their heads and said, with tears and groans:

    'Mourn, mourn for this great city
    whose lavish living has made a fortune
    for every owner of a sea-going ship
    ruined within a single hour.

'Now heaven, celebrate her downfall, and all you saints, apostles and prophets: God has given judgement for you against her.'

Then a powerful angel picked up a boulder like a great millstone, and as he hurled it into the sea, he said, 'That is how the great city of Babylon is going to be hurled down, never to be seen again.

Never again in you
will be heard
    the song of harpists and minstrels,
the music of flute and trumpet;
never again will craftsmen of every skill
    be found in you
or the sound of the handmill be heard;
never again
    will shine the light of the lamp in you,
never again will be heard in you
the voices of bridegroom and bride.
Your traders were the princes
    of the earth,
all the nations were led astray
    by your sorcery.

In her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and all the blood that was ever shed on earth.'

God the Father speaks: I give you the story of Adam and Eve.

1 Corinthians 15:21-22

As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life;...

God the Father speaks: Through the influence of one man many can be lost; through the influence of one man many can be saved.

Greatness is found and measured by leading a holy life and helping to lead souls to heaven.

It is not measured by how high a place you received in the world. If you are saved, for all eternity you will enjoy the rewards granted for the good deeds you accomplished.

You are to love and serve God.

You are not your own master. God is your Master.

Your are not the king. Jesus Christ is the King, you live to serve Him.

Messenger: God is God, Lord of heaven and earth.

God so loved the world He sent His only Son that we would be saved.

Jesus speaks: I am your Spouse, I wish you to be loyal to Me as the Bridegroom of your soul. Live only according to the Father's will. Develop your spousal relationship with Me by writing to Me.

I wish stickers of hearts to be made.

One large heart for the red notebooks in which you write your letter to Me.

It should have the "Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul."

I wish a second red heart to be made for married couples' notebooks and all other uses. It should be:

Notebooks for married couples should be white or some other color.

I wish all in the Movement to make communal reparation to My Heart and My Mother's Heart. I wish all in the Movement to strive for greater holiness, realizing sin offends Me. I am your Spouse. You offend Me as your Spouse when you choose sin over Me.

April 22, 1999 - Second Message

Messenger: Jesus has asked for communal reparation for offenses against His Heart and the Heart of His Mother Mary.

When we sin, Jesus says that we offend His Sacred Heart. If we realize our spousal relationship with Him, see Jesus as our Spouse, we will not want to ever be disloyal to Him. Sin offends His Sacred Heart. We live to please our Spouse, to dwell most intimately in Him.

God the Father speaks: I beg the souls of this earth to make communal reparation for their offenses against God, to tell God they are sorry for the offenses against the holy and pure Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the New Adam and the New Eve. Recite the litanies, pray the prayers as given from My Son Jesus (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual).

April 22, 1999  -  Third Message

Mary, Mother of the Society of Jesus

Messenger: I pray to the Father through Mary's powerful intercession, in the name of Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory. If you are reading this, in the depth of your soul pray for God's will to be done. Pray for the Jesuits that they will help us to reach the priests with the priestly newsletter and help to begin prayer chapters, praying for the renewal of the Church and the world, so that this will help to bring about the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Heart. My heart is bleeding inside to do this and reach our school children so that they can pray for us. Please, I implore you, pray in honor of this special Jesuit feast to our beloved Father. Let us all join in from the depth of our souls and pray with all our hearts for this.

Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:

Q: How do I feel I can seriously share a feeling letter with my spouse or intimate friend every day?

Jesus speaks: Discuss this in detail in a letter with your spouse or intimate friend in an attempt to write a letter to one another daily.
