Acts 9: 1-20
Meanwhile Saul was still breathing threats to slaughter the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest and asked for letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, that would authorise him to arrest and take to Jerusalem any followers of the Way, men or women, that he might find.
It happened that while he was travelling to Damascus and approaching the city, suddenly a light from heaven shone all round him. He fell to the ground, and then he heard a voice saying, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?' 'Who are you, Lord?' he asked, and the answer came, 'I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you are to do.' The men travelling with Saul stood there speechless, for though they heard the voice they could see no one. Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing at all, and they had to lead him into Damascus by the hand. For three days he was without his sight and took neither food nor drink.
There was a disciple in Damascus called Ananias, and he had a vision in which the Lord said to him, 'Ananias!' When he replied, 'Here I am, Lord,' the Lord said, 'Get up and go to Straight Street and ask at the house of Judas for someone called Saul, who comes from Tarsus. At this moment he is praying, and has seen a man called Ananias coming in and laying hands on him to give him back his sight.'
But in response, Ananias said, 'Lord, I have heard from many people about this man and all the harm he has been doing to your holy people in Jerusalem. He has come here with a warrant from the chief priests to arrest everybody who invokes your name.' The Lord replied, 'Go, for this man is my chosen instrument to bring my name before gentiles and kings and before the people of Israel; I myself will show him how much he must suffer for my name.' Then Ananias went. He entered the house, and laid his hands on Saul and said, 'Brother Saul, I have been sent by the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here, so that you may recover your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.' It was as though scales fell away from his eyes and immediately he was able to see again. So he got up and was baptised, and after taking some food he regained his strength.
After he had spent only a few days with the disciples in Damascus, he began preaching in the synagogues, 'Jesus is the Son of God.'
Psalm 117: 1, 2
Alleluia!
Praise Yahweh, all nations,
extol him, all peoples,
for his faithful love is strong
and his constancy never*ending.
John 6: 52-59
Then the Jews started arguing among themselves, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ Jesus replied to them:
In all truth I tell you,
if you do not eat
the flesh of the Son of man
and drink his blood,
you have no life in you.
Anyone who does eat my flesh
and drink my blood
has eternal life,
and I shall raise that person up
on the last day.
For my flesh is real food
and my blood is real drink.
Whoever eats my flesh
and drinks my blood
lives in me
and I live in that person.
As the living Father sent me
and I draw life from the Father,
so whoever eats me
will also draw life from me.
This is the bread
which has come down from heaven;
it is not like the bread our ancestors ate:
they are dead,
but anyone who eats this bread
will live for ever.This is what he taught at Capernaum in the synagogue.

Acts 1: 8
but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth's remotest end.'
Excerpt from Blue Book 15 - April 13, 1997 Rosary - Resurrection
R. I had a vision. I had 3 great visions. The one was on March the 26th, 1996 and this account is written in the Apostles Manual. (Also Blue Book 10) The second was on Holy Saturday night and the whole wall was adorned in this light that I cannot describe for it was not a light. It was something supernatural or so it seemed. It kind of looked like a mirror and it looked like the water glistening on the river over at Tom’s farm, except it’s golden. But that’s nothing like what it is because to describe a supernatural thing is impossible it seems to me in human terms. But this was on Holy Saturday and there was a resurrected Jesus statue there and the whole light that went up to St. Joseph, the whole wall was adorned in this light, I don’t even know what to call it, because it’s brighter than any light. Jesus was transfigured, I saw this light, I can’t even describe it. Envision Jesus as He comes forth from the tomb as I saw Him transfigured, as I saw this light on this night. Jesus the Light of the World. Do we know? Do we understand? Do we comprehend? We have bits and pieces of things in our head about Jesus and it is all so clear to me. This is how it is. Adam and Eve sinned. The light had been dimmed because Adam and Eve sinned. They had this intense knowing of knowing God, all these gifts that God gave to them and it was dimmed from the sin. And Jesus comes and He is born the Light of the World. But we are still a people walking in darkness for we never comprehend or have this understanding that Adam and Eve had. And Jesus comes and He comes into the world and the light shines over the stable, for He is the Light. Jesus teaches us about God. We are children of the light. God gives us the Church. God gives us baptism – Jesus died and rose so we could share in His life. In baptism our knowing and loving capacity is elevated. We share in God’s loving activity. WOW. Adam and Eve sin. The light is dimmed. They do not know God as they once did. Jesus comes the Light of the World, but the people do not comprehend.3.
R.
Jesus is the Light of the World. We are like people that are walking this earth with a shade down, a veil. We do not comprehend and we do not understand. We do not see Him in His magnificence and His light. We do not know many things. If we did we would all be on our faces right now, flat on the ground giving praise and worship to the Almighty God. Jesus is truly present and in this room in the Eucharist. But there is a shade down; it is as in a room. If the shade is down, there is darkness and the sunlight does not come through from the outside. But if the shade is lifted, the sunlight comes into the room. Jesus is the Light of the world. What we know is veiled. God can lift the veil. We can see more and more if God lets us. We do not need to be focused on so many foolish things. He is risen, the Light of the World, and He gives to us a sharing in His life.
Sing: Jesus Christ is Risen Today
Excerpt from Blue Book 15 - April 13, 1997 Rosary - Resurrection
It is all there. The Mass is there. The Sacraments are there. God wants to fill us more and more with His life. This grace is outpoured on this earth. But we do not comprehend. Spread the consecration to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart to priests. We need grace to be outpoured more and more on the world. Pray the prayers Jesus gave Fr. Carter. This is what the Shepherds of Christ Movement is all about. It is the Father’s plan from all eternity that the Shepherds of Christ Movement would be major in helping to spread the consecration to the priests, that priest’s hearts would be consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, that a nation, that a Church, that a people that are walking in darkness will see the light and that grace would be outpoured. Spreading the Consecration will help us to have holy priests. It is now as if the shade is down and the sun is on the other side of the shade but I do not see it. Jesus is giving us immense light, the more we consecrate our hearts to Jesus and Mary. God wants our intimate love. We must reach the priests with the Priestly Newsletter that they will consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary, that their hearts will be turned to hearts of love, that they will know God with the greatest intimacy, for the Holy Spirit works within the heart of the Virgin Mary and gives great lights.4. R.
5.
R. Jesus is alive. We are His faithful witnesses. Jesus is in this room, the Almighty God, the same Jesus that came forth from the tomb, truly present in the Eucharist. He will give to us this understanding into Him in this new era, the Reign of the Two Hearts, for we will be the children of light that will know God with such intensity.6.
R. And so how did the stone come away from the tomb? When Mary Magdalene got to the tomb, the stone had been rolled back. Jesus had risen. And where were the Apostles? Where were they a lot of the time? They were afraid. They touched Jesus. They talked to Jesus. He taught them. They ate with Jesus and they were afraid. Where were they when the stone was rolled back? Were they in a room? Were they afraid in that room? Were they talking about how they were going to be apprehended because they knew Him? They didn’t hear what Jesus said. Jesus kept telling them but they did not hear for they were deaf. They were in the room discussing how someone might get them - being afraid.

I Love You
April 13, 1994
Words of Jesus. Read before the Tabernacle.
Jesus: How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the Cross.
Do you know I am truly present there? Do you know that God waits every day for you in the tabernacle? Do you comprehend even a minute amount of My love? You will never know of how I love you on earth.
I, Jesus, truly the Son of God, came to earth a man and suffered a brutal death for love of you. I love you so much! I remain with you this day. I long for your love. I want you to come and be with Me in front of the tabernacle. I wait, I yearn for you to come and whisper your love to Me. I am a person and I love you this day, with such an ardent on-fire love! No human could ever compare a speck to My love for you.
I wait, little ones, in the tabernacle. I wait for you to come and receive Me in Communion. I want you to want Me so much you cannot wait to come and receive Me. I want to be the love, the center of your life!
I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am writing to you this day. I want to possess your very soul and live in you. I have all you need, sweet ones. Oh, you are so blind! I long for your union with Me. I wrote the book of love. I instituted it, yet you go to the world for your love and do not even come to Me! Oh, I love you, little ones. Little ones, beloved of the Father, loved by the Holy Spirit, mothered by My very own mother! What more can I say? The rest is up to you!
I give you your will with such love and I want your love freely given. I am God. What do you think you could ever need that I do not give you? I am the Savior of this world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I am God. I have all you ever will need!
Surrender this life to Me. Pray My Prayer for Union with Me. I want to possess your soul and operate from your very being. I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am Who am. I died and rose on the third day.
Harken to My call, harken to My pleading. Spend your days in love with Me. Nothing matters unless it is rooted in Me and rooted in My love. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I love you with the tenderest love. I am waiting this day for just you, My beloved one. Come to Me for I am the tenderest of all hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Acts 4: 23-31
As soon as they were released they went to the community and told them everything the chief priests and elders had said to them. When they heard it they lifted up their voice to God with one heart. ‘Master,’ they prayed, ‘it is you who made sky and earth and sea, and everything in them; it is you who said through the Holy Spirit and speaking through our ancestor David, your servant:
Why this uproar among the nations,
this impotent muttering of the peoples?
Kings on earth take up position,
princes plot together
against the Lord and his Anointed.‘This is what has come true: in this very city Herod and Pontius Pilate plotted together with the gentile nations and the peoples of Israel, against your holy servant Jesus whom you anointed, to bring about the very thing that you in your strength and your wisdom had predetermined should happen. And now, Lord, take note of their threats and help your servants to proclaim your message with all fearlessness, by stretching out your hand to heal and to work miracles and marvels through the name of your holy servant Jesus.’ As they prayed, the house where they were assembled rocked. From this time they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim the word of God fearlessly.
Psalm 2: 1-9
Why this uproar among the nations,
this impotent muttering of the peoples?
Kings of the earth take up position,
princes plot together
against Yahweh and his anointed,
‘Now let us break their fetters!
Now let us throw off their bonds!’He who is enthroned in the heavens laughs,
Yahweh makes a mockery of them,
then in his anger rebukes them,
in his rage he strikes them with terror.
‘I myself have anointed my king
on Zion my holy mountain.’I will proclaim the decree of Yahweh:
He said to me, ‘You are my son,
today have I fathered you.
Ask of me, and I shall give you the nations as your birthright,
the whole wide world as your possession.
With an iron sceptre you will break them,
shatter them like so many pots.’
John 3: 1-8
There was one of the Pharisees called Nicodemus, a leader of the Jews, who came to Jesus by night and said, ‘Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher; for no one could perform the signs that you do unless God were with him.’ Jesus answered:
In all truth I tell you,
no one can see the kingdom of God
without being born from above.Nicodemus said, ‘How can anyone who is already old be born? Is it possible to go back into the womb again and be born?’ Jesus replied:
In all truth I tell you,
no one can enter the kingdom of God
without being born
through water and the Spirit;
what is born of human nature is human;
what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Do not be surprised when I say:
You must be born from above.
The wind blows where it pleases;
you can hear its sound,
but you cannot tell where it comes from
or where it is going.
So it is with everyone
who is born of the Spirit.
From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.
The Holy Spirit
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"
Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

R. Dear Holy Spirit Fill Us
God is faithful to His promise!
Peter's sermon
Acts 2: 14-40
Then Peter stood up with the Eleven and addressed them in a loud voice:
‘Men of Judaea, and all you who live in Jerusalem, make no mistake about this, but listen carefully to what I say. These men are not drunk, as you imagine; why, it is only the third hour of the day. On the contrary, this is what the prophet was saying:
In the last days—the Lord declares—
I shall pour out my Spirit on all humanity.
Your sons and daughters shall prophesy,
your young people shall see visions,
your old people dream dreams.
Even on the slaves, men and women,
shall I pour out my Spirit.
I will show portents in the sky above
and signs on the earth below.
The sun will be turned into darkness
and the moon into blood
before the day of the Lord comes,
that great and terrible Day.
And all who call on the name of the Lord
will be saved.‘Men of Israel, listen to what I am going to say: Jesus the Nazarene was a man commended to you by God by the miracles and portents and signs that God worked through him when he was among you, as you know. This man, who was put into your power by the deliberate intention and foreknowledge of God, you took and had crucified and killed by men outside the Law. But God raised him to life, freeing him from the pangs of Hades; for it was impossible for him to be held in its power since, as David says of him:
I kept the Lord before my sight always,
for with him at my right hand
nothing can shake me.
So my heart rejoiced
my tongue delighted;
my body, too, will rest secure,
for you will not abandon me to Hades
or allow your holy one to see corruption.
You have taught me the way of life,
you will fill me with joy in your presence.‘Brothers, no one can deny that the patriarch David himself is dead and buried: his tomb is still with us. But since he was a prophet, and knew that God had sworn him an oath to make one of his descendants succeed him on the throne, he spoke with foreknowledge about the resurrection of the Christ: he is the one who was not abandoned to Hades, and whose body did not see corruption. God raised this man Jesus to life, and of that we are all witnesses. Now raised to the heights by God's right hand, he has received from the Father the Holy Spirit, who was promised, and what you see and hear is the outpouring of that Spirit. For David himself never went up to heaven, but yet he said:
The Lord declared to my Lord,
take your seat at my right hand,
till I have made your enemies
your footstool.‘For this reason the whole House of Israel can be certain that the Lord and Christ whom God has made is this Jesus whom you crucified.’
Hearing this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, ‘What are we to do, brothers?’ ‘You must repent,’ Peter answered, ‘and every one of you must be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise that was made is for you and your children, and for all those who are far away, for all those whom the Lord our God is calling to himself.’ He spoke to them for a long time using many other arguments, and he urged them, ‘Save yourselves from this perverse generation.’
R. Paul's sermon
Acts 13: 16-41
Paul stood up, raised his hand for silence and began to speak:
'Men of Israel, and fearers of God, listen! The God of our nation Israel chose our ancestors and made our people great when they were living in Egypt, a land not their own; then by divine power he led them out and for about forty years took care of them in the desert. When he had destroyed seven nations in Canaan, he put them in possession of their land for about four hundred and fifty years. After this he gave them judges, down to the prophet Samuel. Then they demanded a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin. After forty years, he deposed him and raised up David to be king, whom he attested in these words, "I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will perform my entire will." To keep his promise, God has raised up for Israel one of David's descendants, Jesus, as Saviour, whose coming was heralded by John when he proclaimed a baptism of repentance for the whole people of Israel. Before John ended his course he said, "I am not the one you imagine me to be; there is someone coming after me whose sandal I am not fit to undo."
‘My brothers, sons of Abraham’s race, and all you godfearers, this message of salvation is meant for you. What the people of Jerusalem and their rulers did, though they did not realise it, was in fact to fulfil the prophecies read on every Sabbath. Though they found nothing to justify his execution, they condemned him and asked Pilate to have him put to death. When they had carried out everything that scripture foretells about him they took him down from the tree and buried him in a tomb. But God raised him from the dead, and for many days he appeared to those who had accompanied him from Galilee to Jerusalem: and it is these same companions of his who are now his witnesses before our people.
We have come here to tell you the good news that the promise made to our ancestors has come about. God has fulfilled it to their children by raising Jesus from the dead. As scripture says in the psalms: You are my son: today I have fathered you. The fact that God raised him from the dead, never to return to corruption, is no more than what he had declared: To you I shall give the holy things promised to David which can be relied upon. This is also why it says in another text: You will not allow your Holy One to see corruption. Now when David in his own time had served God's purposes he died; he was buried with his ancestors and has certainly seen corruption. The one whom God has raised up, however, has not seen corruption.
'My brothers, I want you to realise that it is through him that forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you. Through him justification from all sins from which the Law of Moses was unable to justify is being offered to every believer.
'So be careful — or what the prophets say will happen to you.
Cast your eyes around you, mockers;
be amazed, and perish!
For I am doing something in your own days
that you would never believe
if you were told of it.'
Acts 17: 22-31
So Paul stood before the whole council of the Areopagus and made this speech:
'Men of Athens, I have seen for myself how extremely scrupulous you are in all religious matters, because, as I strolled round looking at your sacred monuments, I noticed among other things an altar inscribed: To An Unknown God. In fact, the unknown God you revere is the one I proclaim to you.
'Since the God who made the world and everything in it is himself Lord of heaven and earth, he does not make his home in shrines made by human hands. Nor is he in need of anything, that he should be served by human hands; on the contrary, it is he who gives everything — including life and breath — to everyone. From one single principle he not only created the whole human race so that they could occupy the entire earth, but he decreed the times and limits of their habitation. And he did this so that they might seek the deity and, by feeling their way towards him, succeed in finding him; and indeed he is not far from any of us, since it is in him that we live, and move, and exist, as indeed some of your own writers have said:
We are all his children.
'Since we are the children of God, we have no excuse for thinking that the deity looks like anything in gold, silver or stone that has been carved and designed by a man.
'But now, overlooking the times of ignorance, God is telling everyone everywhere that they must repent, because he has fixed a day when the whole world will be judged in uprightness by a man he has appointed. And God has publicly proved this by raising him from the dead.'
Acts 20: 18-35
When they arrived he addressed these words to them:
'You know what my way of life has been ever since the first day I set foot among you in Asia, how I have served the Lord in all humility, with all the sorrows and trials that came to me through the plots of the Jews. I have not hesitated to do anything that would be helpful to you; I have preached to you and instructed you both in public and in your homes, urging both Jews and Greeks to turn to God and to believe in our Lord Jesus.
'And now you see me on my way to Jerusalem in captivity to the Spirit; I have no idea what will happen to me there, except that the Holy Spirit, in town after town, has made it clear to me that imprisonment and persecution await me. But I do not place any value on my own life, provided that I complete the mission the Lord Jesus gave me -- to bear witness to the good news of God's grace.
'I now feel sure that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom will ever see my face again. And so on this very day I swear that my conscience is clear as far as all of you are concerned, for I have without faltering put before you the whole of God's purpose.
Be on your guard for yourselves and for all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you the guardians, to feed the Church of God which he bought with the blood of his own Son.
I know quite well that when I have gone fierce wolves will invade you and will have no mercy on the flock. Even from your own ranks there will be men coming forward with a travesty of the truth on their lips to induce the disciples to follow them. So be on your guard, remembering how night and day for three years I never slackened in counselling each one of you with tears. And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace that has power to build you up and to give you your inheritance among all the sanctified.
I have never asked anyone for money or clothes; you know for yourselves that these hands of mine earned enough to meet my needs and those of my companions. By every means I have shown you that we must exert ourselves in this way to support the weak, remembering the words of the Lord Jesus, who himself said, "There is more happiness in giving than in receiving." ’

Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.
His Burning Heart
R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.
I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these letters—to draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:
"Open your heart to the fire of God's love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love."end of writing
R. God is love –
Jesus is truly present in the
tabernacle –
God is the source of Love –
We must love one another –
Is the world cold?
Jesus gives us His letters,
His Blue Books.
Excerpt from Blue Book 15 - April 13, 1997 Rosary - Ascension
Jesus: And so I tell you, My sweet one, I tell you how much I love you. Do you hear Me? Do you crave love in your heart but you are not satisfied? You must come to Me for you were created with the desire to know, love and serve God. The Father has a plan for you from the day you were born. You were created to know My Divine love and nothing here will fill that craving in your soul. Was it your money? Was it your car? Was it your business? What was your god? There is a soul on the edge of death. What was his god and where will he go?4.
R. Look at Mary
she says
"I appear, I appear, I appear,
I appear, I appear
5 times and
I am ignored –
Do you ignore Mary?
Jesus came a little sweet
baby –
Mary cared for a little
baby –
This is how He came –
so tender
so beautiful
a little baby –
Jesus took flesh - so we
can identify with Jesus –
we were created in
the image and likeness
of God
Mary showed me a sword
in her heart –
We have offended Jesus
We have offended Mary
Luke 2: 34-35
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—and a sword will pierce your soul too—so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.’
Excerpt from Blue Book 15 - May 4, 1997 Rosary - Presentation
3. “Oh, my children, my little children of light, the time is nigh and many will be lost forever. I appeared and warned and told all to mind their ways and come to the Heart of my Son and they said “No, my Lady, not for you or any mother. We are children of darkness and that we remain, for we seek our pleasure by day and feast on sin all night and when you called, mother, we laughed at your Son and ignored Him and His ways.” And He called and His call fell on deaf ears.” (December 19, 1996)

Excerpt from Blue Book 15 - May 4, 1997 Rosary - The Finding of Child Jesus in the Temple
R. This was the greatest pain under the cross for I experienced some of this suffering of Mary to know how many children, her children, would be lost despite His death on the cross. They would turn their backs on the Almighty God and they would go their willful way and their souls could be lost forever because of their serious unrepented sin.5.
R. Mary didn't appear to me
to be ignored
Excerpt from Blue Book 15 - May 4, 1997 Rosary - The Finding of Child Jesus in the Temple
Mary: I am the Immaculate Conception. I gave a message on August the 1st, 1994 of the importance of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. I am telling my chosen ones that you have been called by my Son Jesus to go into this world to help bring about the completion of the Fatima message for the renewal of the Church and the world and to pray for the priests. I am Mary, your Heavenly Mother. I give to you my Immaculate Heart. This will be your Ark. My beloved ones, you must come to my heart. I am begging you to spread the consecrations, to spread the Prayer Manuals for you have suffered and I am your Mother. I am watching you and guarding you. I will lead you ever closer to the Heart of my Son. Be strong, my little children. My children are suffering. Many will lose their souls. What you do today is very important. The evil one will try to stop you. You will suffer and suffer for he does not want your work to reach the far corners of the earth. You must not be afraid for I am sending the Holy Spirit to you to fill you with fearlessness and courage. I am your Mother. I am guarding you and watching you. Will you please send workers to my site in Florida? You must expand the prayer chapter in Cincinnati that you will receive help. I am sending aid to your spiritual director, Father Carter, but you must pray. You must pray, you must pray fervently every hour. Please do not give up. I know of your sufferings and how hard it is. I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried for the little ones that would lose their souls forever, my little lost children of the world. Think my dear, dear children of how it is to go to the fires of hell forever. I know how you are suffering, but see the soul at the edge of death, this is a child of mine. Will you help them? I ask you to spread the prayer manuals to the Churches.9.

Satan Wants to Tear Apart - Bloody Friday
Jesus: My beloved ones,
. . . I come to you dripping with blood. I come to you with a cross on My back. I come to you accompanied by My Mother and yours as she stood beneath My cross her face covered with tears and she cried out to us by My side, “so many of my children will go to hell.” Souls are at stake. Satan wants souls for hell. He wants your soul. He wants their souls. If you give into him, many souls will not be reached.
I am asking for prayer. Prayer is the weapon against satan. You are carrying the ammunition to fight off satan.
The materials of the 13th are your ammunition. You are carriers of these writings to the world. Satan wants you stopped.
You are in a battle. You wear the marks of battle. It is a war against satan to tear the Shepherds of Christ Movement apart at the seams. You will be weary and cry out for help. Help is only in Me.
What is satan doing in your life to keep you from the Mission given to you by Me and the Father? Do you feel anxious in your life, to step aside now? Does the devil tell you you must act now? My ways are gentle, kind, slow and loving. The devil’s ways stir up the emotions – anger anxious emotion. The devil wants you stopped. The devil wants you to oppose the Father’s will.
I am Jesus. I am giving each person this severe warning.
For years you have built a Movement based on love. Satan attempted to stop the Movement at the Holy Spirit Center, the Falmouth Farm and Tom’s farm. This is the attempt by satan to tear your Movement apart and separate you. Do not act in haste! He wants to confuse you.
This is a warning. As never before, you will be tested when you are wounded and bleeding. . .

Excerpt from Blue Book 15 - May 11, 1997 Rosary - Carrying of the Cross
9. Jesus: And I walked, and as I walked, the cross seemed so heavy and it pressed down on My back. But I did not remove the cross. How is your cross this day? Is it heavy on your back? You must go a little further, a little further, always going further and knowing that it is in the cross I will give you My greatest love.
Death of Jesus
Jesus:
That is why I tell you My beloved ones, you must come to Me for I know the workings of your heart. I know every care and every struggle that you have. And I will comfort you and I will lead you deeply into My Heart.

"You have Rejected your God"
R. God is to be honored and obeyed –
worshipped before the Blessed Sacrament –
Jesus says people worship their
anger, many times, in
front of Him –
They hold out with His gifts He
gives to promote His Kingdom
to disobey authority
and live a life where they
punish others for their wounds
dysfunctions.
How do you justify a person
angry every Sunday when the
Commandment of God tells us to keep
holy the Sabbath Day?
How do you justify a person
ignoring the commandment
to love God first and
love others as themselves –
when they ignore God for
sports all the hours
they are free when they
honor their anger and hurt
feelings on special Feasts
every year – Easter, Christmas
and try to bring others down
in God's house –
Jesus was rejected –
Jesus was betrayed –
Jesus was spit on when He
came – took flesh and
taught us –
How do we justify making 'our
image', life long our
god and lying to prove
we should be worshipped and
honored before God –
Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday –
When we think we are our
own god –
we need to beg God for
mercy for our pride –
Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament
is to be worshipped
is to be adored
is to be loved –
What about bad examples to
nurse our wounds and force
others to live with our
dysfunction –
What about ignoring God –
really ignoring His
will for us –
while we write our program
serving our dysfunctional -
selfish and isolating ways –
Jesus cries from all the tabernacles
in the world –
Jesus: I came –
I died for you
Song: A Song from Jesus
R. And what do many say –
"I come before You, my God"
Satan wants people Jesus calls
to use His work to serve
their selfishness, to write
their own plan, to not
work with those He called –
Jesus calls us to love Him with
our whole heart, our whole soul,
and our whole being and to
love our neighbor as ourselves.
Many can use religion to serve
what they want because
they want acceptance first –
they may want power over God and
others first –
they want what they want – to
fix old hurts of the
heart – using what
satan lures them with –
God is clear
There are 10 Commandments
The Ten Commandments
1. I, the Lord, am your God. You shall not have other gods besides me.
2. You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.
3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.
4. Honor your father and your mother.
5. You shall not kill.
6. You shall not commit adultery.
7. You shall not steal.
8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.
10. You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.
R. There are 7 deadly sins –
pride, greed, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth
Jesus: They are all at the ruin
of the men who loved sin
more than God –
I am rejected, ignored, and not
praised in My own Churches
by men who focus on
themselves –
I am rejected in honor of men using
My Churches for their own
anger, affection and not ever
thinking of God –
Eve had the sin of pride –
study your actions
Are you giving God heartfelt love –
What is your God?
Is it yourself – you love yourself
more than God?
April 13, 2015
R. We have rejected the love of
Jesus –
This is a real story –
Jesus' pierced Heart shows
us the love of God –
How He wants to be loved
by men –
We worry about our love
wounds –
Look how we have
rejected Jesus –
We ignore Mary's apparitions
