Jesus speaks:
Satan's tactics will slip some up
if they do not stay deeply rooted in Me.
(they may fall into the trap)
Satan wants you to fall into his trap.
Satan comes to some pressing down -- so hard
When they have an important work -- satan pressing
down and down trying to get them to flee --
Once the person gives in they must realize
they were attacked by satan and they gave
in and continue with their important
work. (do not be caught by pride,
make amends and move on)
Satan will tempt some immediately
to act adversely when they should be
cooperative. (He may work on emotions,
agitation, work through a feeling of pressure, etc.
"from the get-go" immediately as communication begins,
sometimes agitation towards the other may be felt
immediately before the interaction or for hours before
as satan presses down on both sides to block My work.)
Whatever satan can do to block My
work -- he will try. You must be deeply
rooted in Me.
Satan wants to trick you and
cause confusion, an explosion and disharmony.
Use the Blue Book --
open anywhere -- pray for grace.

Mother's Day May 16, 1998 - Prayer to the Father
My Father,
With my whole heart I desire to consecrate the whole world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I wish with my whole being for the salvation of souls and that man live according to Thy Holy Will. I pray my Father that we may be one in You and Your Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit that we may intercede to You for this cause.
It is this burning desire within my soul to spread the consecration to the far ends of the earth, that the cries of Your children are cries of glory and honor and adoration, praising God as their God.
My Father, at this moment a soul hangs on the edge of death. For all eternity they will go to a place. It is not the plot of this soul as it trods this barren land to decide on the edge of death. You created us that we would grow in our oneness with God, that we would mature more and more in our image and likeness to God.
And so My Father, I pray with every cell in my body for this earth. In the name of Your Son Jesus I consecrate all the souls of this earth to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the Holy Spirit in union with the Holy sacrifice of the Mass with all the angels and saints and the souls in Purgatory.
I beg You Father for mercy.
I beg You Father for assistance.
I beg You Father to help us to spread this consecration to the far ends of the earth.Please help us. We are helpless little ones coming in the heart of our Mother, bleeding from our wounds and our sins.
Your Son, Jesus Christ, shed the last drop of His Blood for the salvation of mankind. We wish to unite in this sacrifice, sacramentally made present in the Mass all over the world at every moment. Help us to make reparation to You for the sins of men.
Please my Father, help us. Held in the heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus we come as the children of Eve to beg for the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph of Mary's heart. Look upon our love, Your shepherds in the Shepherds of Christ, our sacrifices and devotion to You Our Beloved Father. Come by the means of the Holy Spirit and sanctify us and make us whole, that we are one in Your Son Jesus, praying to You, Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus in the Holy Spirit united with all the angels and saints, in the heart of Mary. We beg for help for special intentions concerning the Movement. We beg for help to reach the Churches to give these prayers of Jesus to them, to reach the schools and the family. Help we cry as poor banished children of Eve. Help us Father to do this work the Good Shepherd has entrusted to us. Help us to be one in You that we act as intercessors to help this world to be turned to God as their God, loving, honoring and adoring Him as the Lord of Host is truly present on His throne.
We are Your children Father, we implore You to answer our prayer.
We love You, we worship You, we adore You, we thank you and we sing from the bottom of our hearts, Holy God we Praise Your Name. Alleluiaend of prayer to the Father
Dear Father in the name of Your Son Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, through the powerful intercession of the Virgin Mary, with all the angels and the saints and the souls in purgatory, we join in one mind and one heart and ask the Holy Spirit to come to all the world in a special way, especially to our priests. We pray all prayers for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world and for the Shepherds of Christ intentions. By the precious Body and Blood of Jesus we cast out Satan far from this place, our families, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the Church and the world. We ask the Blood of Jesus be spread on us, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the Church and the world. We beg for grace and mercy for the world and wish to make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We give our hearts to Jesus and Mary with all gathered here in love. We wish to be forgiven for offending one another. We love You God, help us.

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.
"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

The Birth of the Full Ministries
of the Shepherds of Christ
"I wish to share with you part of a message which Jesus gave us on October 13, 1994. The message tells us about the expansion of the Shepherds of Christ movement:
'My beloved priest-companion, today I come to you with another mission. I am asking you to establish Shepherds of Christ Ministries. At My request you have already begun the priestly newsletter, "Shepherds of Christ", and the prayer chapters, Shepherds of Christ Associates...
'I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. When this occurs, My Church and the world will be experiencing the great era of peace promised by My Mother at Fatima.
'Today, then, October 13, 1994, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.'
"Jesus has told us that Shepherds of Christ Ministries includes: the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters, various publications, including books, whatever else Our Lord directs us to undertake.
"As members of Shepherds of Christ Associates, you are an extremely important part of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. You have given great joy to the Heart of Jesus by responding to His invitation to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. As He draws you closer to His Heart and to His Mother's Heart as Associates members, He will fill you with an ever-increasing experience of His love, peace, and joy."

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
My dear fellow Associate Members,
Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:
My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.
These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.
I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.
I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.
I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.
This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:
- For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
- For the Pope.
- For all bishops of the world.
- For all priests.
- For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
- For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
- For all members of the Catholic Church.
- For all members of the human family.
- For all souls in purgatory.

Pray For The Success Of The Priestly Newsletter - Shepherds of Christ
Messenger: The following is the first official message I received before the statue of Mary at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. It is a personal message for Father Carter.
Mary speaks: (in front of the glowing statue of Our Lady of Sorrows) I am the Immaculate Heart. My Heart is glowing for love of all my beloved children. I am your most loving Mother. I am with you this day. Pray for the success of the priestly newsletter Shepherds of Christ. I am guarding your way. You will receive such graces to accomplish this task! Grace from God is so abundantly bestowed on you and will lead to the success of this endeavor! Pray for this cause at the Center. The priests will lead the people to the love of My beloved Son. This is no little task. It will take many prayers and graces. Pray hard, little one. Your prayers will change many hearts.
I am Mary, your Immaculate Mother. I bring this message to My beloved priest-son.

Messenger: Fr. Carter commented on February 13,
1997
at a talk --
Excerpt from February 13, 1997
But to me, there’s a very great phenomenon connected with the colors on the window, bank windows and the Rosary Book. And Rita herself pointed this out to me. Now this cover on this book-it was designed by Hal K. weeks and even months before the apparition of Our Lady on the bank in Florida. When did you start to design that Hal? (question asked to Harold K.) Almost, two years ago. And the colors were already selected months ago, right? Well if you’ll take the picture of the bank of the apparition of the bank on Florida, and this Rosary Book, you will notice that the colors are the same. To me, that’s a miraculous confirmation of the fact that Our Lady is connecting the apparition site on the bank in Florida with the Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a special way with the rosaries. It’s just phenomenal. You can check the colors out one by one. They’re a little bit brighter on the book, but because of the photography involved I think you can see how they wouldn’t be quite as bright on this. But check out the colors. They’re the same on the Rosary Book and on this.

Ezekiel 34: 11-16
“For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it. As a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness. I shall bring them back from the peoples where they are; I shall gather them back from the countries and bring them back to their own land. I shall pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the inhabited parts of the country. I shall feed them in good pasturage; the highest mountains of Israel will be their grazing ground. There they will rest in good grazing grounds; they will browse in rich pastures on the mountains of Israel. I myself shall pasture my sheep, I myself shall give them rest–declares the Lord Yahweh. I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and make the sick strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd to them."
1 Corinthians 15: 20-28
In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first–fruits of all who have fallen asleep. 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; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first–fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.
Galatians 2: 19-20
I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living, subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.
From Blue Book 5
October 29, 1994 2:15 a.m. -Saturday (excerpt)
My Beloved Priests
Jesus: Rita, Rita, do you know yet I speak to you? You are such a cold heart. I speak to you and you are ready to run back to your world for your love. I want to be so close to you. You do not comprehend what is transpiring here, My beloved one. I pour out such love to you and you are this little frightened child out in the rain looking for that which only I can give you. Come out of the rain and into My Heart. Totally surrender and let your life unfold as I make Myself known more and more to you. I want to take you to the inner sanctuaries of My Heart. I want you to dwell there in such union. You keep yourself at a distance from Me.
Your world is not the answer. My Heart is your answer. Let go, let go, let go. Be so wrapped in My love. You stand on the outskirts, looking in. I give you My grace. With Me, you are not alone. I never ever leave you. Be attentive at every second to My most intimate presence within you. You offend My Heart. You, whom I talk to, you doubt and run to others for what I want to give you. My child, I love you so much. Do you hear Me? Don’t check out My story here any more. Be lost in My deepest love. I give this to you. Come and dwell deeply in My Heart through Mary’s Heart. It is in this dwelling that your peace lies. Say the prayer for union with Me.
Song: Your Presence Pervades My Soul
October 29, 1994 - After Communion, 11:30 Mass
Your Presence Pervades My Soul
Messenger: The song, Your Presence, is constantly going through my mind.
Oh, God, my God, how I love You and long for You! How I am so in awe that You love me, little me, with such love! No matter what, You love me, I am the creation of the Father. I do not deserve this love that You give me. I love you so much, Mary, the Father and Holy Spirit. I cry because I love God so much. I scarce can breathe when Jesus is inside of me in the Eucharist.
Song: I Love You Jesus
Messenger: I saw Your Heart, all open and on fire, all the way over to Mass and all through the Mass: red on the outside, yellow, bright and brilliant and open, inside. I see it before me as a constant presence in my heart. Yesterday I saw Your brown hair. Today I see this beautiful Heart, all aglow and so open, open with the intense fire of Your love, for me, for each soul. You beckon us to come in and dwell deeply in the open Heart, to be protected from everything, to be lost in the great sea of Your love. Oh, Jesus, how I love You, my beloved! You love me. You loved me to Your death on the cross. You always love me. The love of Your Heart pervades my soul. I smelled roses when I went to communion. My beloved Mother is ready with her heart to cradle me and take me to her most precious Son.

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
VOL 1 ISSUE 1 A NEWSLETTER FOR WORSHIPERS OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT OCTOBER, 1996 Welcome to the inaugural issue of Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus! Each article is meant to pique the reader's awareness, light upon flashing light, of the great gift Jesus gave us, and continues to give us every day, in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar. May they put you at ease and may they help you to grow in your love and appreciation of Him Who loves us so much. Praise God!
Bread of Life
(John 6:32-35)1 Jesus answered them:"In all truth I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, it was my Father who gives you the bread from heaven, the true bread; for the bread of God is the bread which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
"Sir," they said, "give us this bread always." Jesus answered them:
"I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever hunger; no one who believes in me will ever thirst."
The New Manna
(John 6: 48-58)1 "I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they are dead; but this is the bread which comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat it and not die. I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world."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."
Many Graces Will Be Granted
Jesus: My beloved Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, I have called you to a special apostleship, My beloved ones. I am crying out to you from My Eucharistic Heart to pray as you have never prayed before. The power, My dear chosen ones, is in the Eucharist. Your world is in a very serious state. The Church, the pope, the bishops, the priests, the Sisters and Brothers are all in need of tremendous prayer power.You have been called to the quiet of the tabernacle to take your prayer petitions to My Eucharistic Heart. The renewal of the Church and the world is at hand. From the prayers you pray here, many graces will be granted.
I am calling all in this Movement as well as all others in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to consecrate their hearts to My Heart and the heart of My Mother. All through the day I am calling you, priests, sisters and brothers in the religious life, laity, including children, to give your hearts to Me and to My beloved Mother. As you dwell in Our Hearts you will be one with each other.
Come to Me with your petitions. I am truly present in the tabernacle, no less present than the day I walked the earth. I wait for you to come and to pray for your Church and your world. Many graces will be given there for the priesthood and those in the religious life. I have chosen each priest and sister and brother in the religious life to help spread My love to this world. The highest calling is to be called to the priesthood. The calling I give to My beloved priests, sisters and brothers is a special spousalship to Me. How My Heart is wounded by the priests and sisters and brothers in the religious life who have turned worldly. I, the almighty God, call them to such a deep intimate love affair with Me and they go to the world for their love.
When the religious are fixed in My Heart many will be fed by My burning love.
The world is in a state of urgency. The Church in part has become worldly. The medicine for the hurting world is My burning love. Nothing, nothing will feed the starved soul but the love of God. I am calling you to pray for My holy priests, to pray that all priests come to a state of deep holiness.
I have called you as part of the Shepherds of Christ Movement to join in prayer before Me and to beg for graces for your Church and your world.
The renewal of My Church and My world will be helped greatly through many giving themselves to this movement.
At Fatima My Mother said that, until a sufficient number of faithful are consecrating their hearts to My Heart and the heart of My Mother, there will not be peace in this world.
In the Shepherds of Christ Movement including the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement, I am reaching the priests, sisters and brothers in the religious life, laity, including the children - with this Consecration.
As you dwell in Our hearts you are one with us. As you give yourselves to our Hearts, you are one in our Hearts. These movements will prosper for all are joined in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. You will proceed ahead in one heart and one mind. You will be more joined as a true family, brothers and sisters, living according to the will of your heavenly Father and dwelling in the heart of your heavenly Mother.
Oh, beloved children, in these movements you have been hand-picked and chosen for this mission by Me. I am giving to you such graces to unite more and more deeply to My Heart. You will be one with each other and one with God. As you dwell in My Mother's heart and My Heart, you unite with the Father in the Holy Spirit.
You are especially chosen, my apostles, to help carry My love to this world. As you join in this oneness with Me, I live in you and you in Me and I am alive in this world in a special way through this union.
I have called you to this apostleship, I am guarding your every breath, I am giving you abundant graces to help carry out the plan of the Father. "Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28)1
Bring the cares of the Church and the world to Me. I am waiting to give you all you need. I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I live this day in the world. I am truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. Come to Me and I will live in you.
I love you, I love you, I love you. I am your beloved Savior, Jesus.
- Message from Jesus to Rita Ring, March 8, 1996
We Are Children of God
(Rom 8: 14-17)1 All who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God; for what you received was not the spirit of slavery to bring you back into fear; you received the spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out, "Abba, Father!" The Spirit himself joins with our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God. And if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, provided that we share his suffering, so as to share his glory.He Remains with Us, Truly Present
God sees us as one family, His beloved creatures. He loves us each with the deepest personal love. He sees us united. It is our love for one another that pleases Him. There is not division in God. He loves each of us and knows our uniqueness. He loves all of us as His creatures. We are all members of His holy family. He wants all His children to inherit the Kingdom of God.I find refuge by dwelling within His most precious Heart. I feel the inner glow, the heat. I feel the calm beating of His heart. It is there I am wrapped in His burning love. It is there I am united deeply to my most beloved Father. It is there I am joined with the permeating, moving action of the Holy Spirit.
It is my refuge, in this dark and troubled world. It is my heaven on earth, to be joined in love with all He has created, to have perfect peace and know God's chamber of peace and love.
I see the darkness, the vileness of this world, and I go to His Heart. I see, with rose-colored glasses. I see as He wants us to see with eyes of love. I want to love and see as He sees. It is in this deepest chamber of His Heart that I have found the Kingdom of God on earth, for He has said, the Kingdom of God is within you. The Kingdom of God, our little heaven on earth, is in dwelling deeply within Their Hearts. In His Heart is love and in His Heart is peace, in His Heart we are all one as He intends us to be. "But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, 'Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?' And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother." (Matt: 12:48-50)1 We draw in our beloved sisters and brothers by the love that radiates from our eyes, our gentle touch, our loving concern.
Strip yourself of the attachments to this world. Find peace in the freedom of living according to His will, living *In Him, *in this magnificent Heart.
He came, He walked the earth, for love of us. He took on a human body. He gave His adorable Heart that we could live *In Him. He no longer walks this earth, He gives us Himself in the Holy Eucharist. He gives us a human *heart, pierced with a lance, crowned with thorns and holding the cross. The way to this fiery furnace, the way to life in Him, is through much suffering and pain. We identify with Him in all our actions, all our joys and sufferings, united to Him as we live our lives in Him. We walk the Passion, we feel the joys, the deep love in His Heart for His Mother, for all His beloved creatures. We carry out His life in our life.
I am Yours, my Lord. I love You with my whole heart, my whole soul, my whole being. I have found the Kingdom of God on this earth. I have found life in You. When I see the darkness in this troubled world, I go to the deepest, hottest chamber of Your Heart and I am bathed in your abundant love. I take with me my troubled brothers in my heart and I plead for their return to their God who is all worthy of all honor and love and adoration.
I am Yours, Lord, I consecrate my heart to You to live forever in this holy place. I want to die to all that is not of You, that I can be united in the deepest way to You, that my heart will know Your love, that as I live in this world I can truly say, "It is no longer I who live, but He who lives in me."
O, Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I give You my all. I come to You surrounded by the pure and loving heart of Your Mother. I know You won't refuse me in my wretchedness when I come to You in the heart of Your beloved Mother.
The Holy Spirit permeates the very depth of my soul and I enter into the deepest chamber of His fiery Heart. It is there I feel so little, as a little child, and I unite to my most beloved Father. I feel in Your fiery heart the presence of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in the deepest, whitest chamber, in the center of the deepest love. I unite with God and I know my dwelling in You is truly a little heaven on earth.
The Kingdom of God is at hand. There will be an era of peace. We will all be one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We will be one happy family where there will only be love: love of God and love of one another.
And the city shone with the brightest light for within their hearts they knew the love of God and it radiated into the world. There was no longer darkness that covered the earth, but light, radiating from those dwelling within the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. And the star shone over His bed at Bethlehem. He is truly the light of the world and the light shone in the darkness and all who came to this light lived in the light and lived according to the light.
It is in this that we trust, that in all the darkness of the world that the light will shine when men are dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
And, He says: I am the way, the truth and the life. He who abides in me will have the light of life. He came, He was born a baby, He died on a cross, but as He hung on that cross on Calvary, He was the light that shone as the brightest light to the world, withered, beaten and bloodied. He was the brightest light in the darkened sky. It was through His death all men were promised a chance for real life, for eternal salvation.
And the light came forth from the tomb in power and glory, adorned in bright, glistening light. He stood before them with His glorified wounds: His pierced Heart of endless love and He gave them the newness of life-life in Him. The light shone in the darkness. He gave them a sharing in His Divine Life through Baptism and ascended into heaven to prepare a place for us, but He remained with us, truly present, in His Eucharistic Heart. He feeds us with His own Body and Blood. He gives us the Bread of Life. He is the Savior of the World and we live in newness of life because God first loved us!
- Rita Ring, February 23, 1996
Hearts One with Jesus and Mary
I feel His love in the hearts of holy priests. He has anointed them and they represent Christ to me. My soul is fed by all His holy priests. I feel fed when a priest loves Jesus so much. I must see the hearts of all and join with them in one heart, love them deeply in my heart.There will be an era of peace when hearts are one with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Jesus and Mary, I give You my heart.
Per Fr. Carter's Message2
This is your special calling from Jesus to pray for the Church and the world. The power is in Him. He is truly present in the Eucharist. He ascended into heaven, but He remains with us in greatest love. He calls out to us, "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive. Come to me and I will give you rest. Can you not watch one hour with Me?"I am Jesus. I call you My beloved ones to be Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. I love you, I love you, I love you."

Consecrate Your Churches, Home, and Workplace to Our Hearts
Message given through to Rita Ring
Jesus: I want you to consecrate the human race to Sacred Heart of Jesus. I want to be enthroned in all homes, churches, and businesses.
June is the month of the Sacred Heart. I want to be king and center of all hearts. I will keep My promises given to St. Margaret Mary of Alacoque. I promise all this from My most Sacred Heart. Consecrate your chapter to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Consecrate the church or room in which you hold your meeting.
Today is First Friday. I want you to circulate the message I gave to you on consecrating your homes to My Sacred Heart. Make booklets available for people to be able to consecrate their homes and businesses easily. Use the message I gave to you when you consecrated your home.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph. Consecrate all homes and businesses to Our Two Hearts. Tell all to have displayed and honored, pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. May and June are the months of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Tell all to consecrate their homes to Our Two Hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. On this day, the 5th of May, 1995, First Friday, I request that you spend the next two months encouraging all to do this consecration.
Gather your friends and say the prayers I have instructed you to say. Sing "To Jesus Heart All Burning" and "Immaculate Mary." May these Two Hearts of love give all members of the human race peace, joy and love in their hearts.
R. Jesus said He desires to be honored by men in the Blessed Sacrament.
Jesus: Circulate the Blue Book messages. They promote this devotion. How My Heart is filled with happiness by the souls who come to the tabernacle and sit with Me. I am Jesus Christ, I wait and long and thirst for My precious souls to come. The souls of men have turned cold. I want souls to come to daily communion and be with Me in front of the tabernacle.
Men's hearts have turned cold. They do not know what love really means. I want hearts that are filled with fire for love of God. Men's hearts have turned to stone.
You are to promote devotion to My most Sacred Heart. I want hearts that burn with love for My Heart. It is through Me that you will know the Father's love. I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life.
Offer a holy hour for the indifference, ingratitude, and sacrileges committed against Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the Sacrament of His greatest love.
R. He promises great graces to those who give reparation to His Sacred Heart and who tell others about offering reparation to Him.

1. The Two Hearts and the Mass
(To be read by leader or a family member)
We are living in the Age of the Two Hearts. The Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We must take refuge in Jesus' Heart and in Mary's Heart. In dwelling in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary we will be transformed more and more in the image of Jesus.
The greatest source of growth in devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary is the Eucharist. We should attend Mass often, daily if possible. What a great gift God has given to us in the Eucharist! Many people do not realize the great gift God gives us in the Mass. Think of it! People are privileged to offer the Sacrifice of the Mass together with Jesus. So many prefer to do other things than attend Mass.
Jesus wants us to go to Mass and receive Him in the Eucharist. He gives Himself to us. In the Eucharist He comes to us Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. He longs for us to come to the Eucharist and receive Him. We receive the greatest graces to be transformed more into His image and likeness. We must pray for a deeper understanding of the Mass. We must go to Him through the pure and Immaculate Heart of Mary. God gives Himself to us. Do we long to receive Him?
2. SONG: I Love You Jesus
3. PROCESSION - to the enthroning of the Sacred Heart Picture
(All in attendance can be lead by the leaders and family to the place of the Sacred Heart picture.)
4. SONG:
To Jesus Heart All Burning or I Love You, Jesus
5. PRAYER: Apostles Creed
All: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
6. Enthronement of the Sacred Heart
(To be read by leader or family member)
We are gathered here to honor our King, Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He is our most honored guest. He loves us so ardently and wants to be King of our home and King of our hearts. We all join together and most graciously welcome Him in our midst. We love You, dear Sacred Heart of Jesus. We honor You this day and are privileged that You, God, love us so much.
Please help us all grow in our knowledge and love of You. We honor You. We praise You. We adore You, and we love You.
We ask You to come and dwell in our hearts. As our King and the center of our lives, we forever want to be with You, most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we love You so much.
Come and be with every member of this family in a special way. Guard us in our undertakings. Dear Holy Spirit, lead us to the on-fire love of Jesus' Heart.
Mary, our most loving Mother, as you carried Jesus in your womb, you who cared for Him as a child, you who forever stood by Him and walked with Him on Calvary, you, dear Mary, as you stood under His cross and suffered so for love of Him and us, you who held His lifeless body under the cross, you who saw His glorified Body after the resurrection and watched Him ascend into heaven, you, dear Mary, you who know this most Sacred, tender, loving Heart, place us so gently into His most Sacred Heart.
Protect and lead every person present and their families to this intense union with your Son. We pray for the priests the world over, Your special anointed sons, to lead all children to the love of Your most Sacred Heart.
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus forever reign in the hearts of all people through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We praise You, we honor You, our beloved Jesus. We tenderly love Your Heart so!
Dear Father, thank You for Your beloved Son. Thank You for Your gifts to us. We thank You for giving us a sharing in Your divine life through baptism. We are Your beloved children. Draw us ever closer to union with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit and Mary, in communion with the angels and saints. Amen.
7. Images of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
(To be read by leader or family member)
We should have pictures and statues of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart in our homes. This will greatly help us to give honor to Their Hearts. Churches and chapels should have these images.
Study the Promises of the Sacred Heart given to St. Margaret Mary.
8. Find Refuge in the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
(To be read by leader or family member)
We want the Sacred Heart of Jesus to bless our home in a special way. We ask You, Sacred Heart of Jesus, to bless our home. We make You the King and Center of our hearts and our home. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary reign in our hearts. Please help us spread the devotion to the Sacred Heart. In #12 of this booklet you will see the promises given by Jesus to St. Margaret Mary for those who are devoted to His Sacred Heart. We should hang pictures of the Sacred Heart and Mary's Heart throughout our homes.
When we read the promises of the Sacred Heart and circulate them among our friends, many people will want to have a devotion to Jesus' Sacred Heart.
We can carry the picture of the Sacred Heart and Mary's Heart with us. If we look at His picture, we will be reminded of the promises. When we have a difficult day, it will help us to look at Their pictures.
It may help us to pray the Litanies to the Sacred Heart and the Blessed Virgin.
Jesus loved us so much He died for us. From the cross, He gave us Mary as our spiritual Mother.
Mary leads us to a closer union with Jesus. Mary will take us to the depth of the Heart of Jesus. Mary loves us so much. She is our loving Mother. Mary is pure and tender of Heart. It is through Mary we will experience such intimacy with God. It is through her Immaculate Heart that we will be led into the deepest union with the one, triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus' Heart is burning with love for us.
(Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart)
9. Consecrate Your Churches, Homes and Workplaces to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart
(To be read by leader or family member)
We should consecrate the human race to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We should enthrone Jesus as King in all homes, churches and businesses.
June is the month of the Sacred Heart. Jesus must reign, be KING, of all hearts. Jesus' promises to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque are given. We should read them. We can consecrate our churches and places of prayer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus that He will reign there.
First Friday is a special day of devotion to the Sacred Heart. We have these booklets available that people will consecrate their homes, churches and businesses to the Sacred Heart. Will you help us encourage all to consecrate their homes, businesses and churches to the Sacred Heart? Will you help us spread these booklets?
We want the Sacred Heart of Jesus to reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary to triumph in all hearts. Will you pray for this with us and help us to spread this material?
Recommend to people that they display to be honored pictures of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
May is the month of Mary and June is the month of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Tell all about this consecration. During these months we can make a special effort to do this.
We can gather our friends and sing, "To Jesus' Heart All Burning" and "Immaculate Mary". May these two Hearts of love give all members of the human race peace, joy and love in their hearts.
We should adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. This is such a gift God gives to us. Jesus loved us so much He gave His life for His precious souls. Jesus wants the souls to come to Him and love Him.
We are so gifted to receive Jesus in Holy Communion. Jesus has a Heart filled with love on fire for men.
The more we united to Jesus, the more we will become one with the Father and know His love.
Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
We can offer a holy hour for the indifference, ingratitude and sacrileges committed against Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, the Sacrament of His greatest love.

1. Los Dos Corazones y La Misa
(Que sea leída por el guía o algún miembro de la familia)Estamos viviendo en la Era de Los Dos Corazones. El Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y el Corazón Inmmaculado de María.
Debemos refugiarnos en el Corazón de Jesús y en el Corazón de María. Al habitar en los Corazones puros y santos de Jesús y María seremos transformados más y más en imagen de Jesús.
El medio más eficaz para crecer en la devoción a los Corazones de Jesús y de María es la Eucaristía. Debemos asistir a Misa frecuentemente, diariamente si esposible. ¡Qué regalo tan grande nos ha dado Dios en la Eucaristía! Mucha gente no se da cuenta del gran regalo que Dios nos da en la Misa. ¡Imagínense! Es un privilegio poder ofrecer el Sacrificio de la Misa junto con Jesús. Hay tantas personas que prefieren hacer otras cosas antes que asistir a Misa.
Jesús quiere que vayamos a Misa y que lo recibamos en la Eucaristía. El se entrega a nosotros. En la Eucaristía él viene a nosotros con su Cuerpo,
Sangre, Alma y Divinidad. El desea intensamente que vayamos a la Eucaristía y que lo recibamos. En ella recibimos la gracia más eficaz para ser transformados más a su imagen y semejanza. Pidámosle que nos de a conocer más profundamente lo que es la misa. Debemos ir a él por medio del Corazón puro e Inmmaculado de María. Dios se entrega a nosotros. ¿Anhelamos recibirlo?
2. Alabanza: "Te Amo Jesús"
3. Procesión: La Entronización de la Imagen del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús
( todos los presentes pueden ser dirigidos por los guías o por la familia al lugar donde se encuentra la Imagen del Sagrado Corazón)
4. Alabanza.
"Al Corazón de Jesús, siempre en fuego" o "Te Amo, Jesús"
5. Oración: El Credo de los Apóstoles
Todos: Creo en Dios, Padre todopoderoso, creador del cielo y de la tierra. Creo en Jesucristo, su único Hijo, nuestro Señor, que fue concebido por obra y gracia del Espíritu Santo, nació de Santa María Virgen, padeció bajo el poder de Poncio Pilato, fue crucificado, muerto y sepultado, descendió a los infiernos, al tercer día resucitó de entre los muertos, subió a los cielos y está a la derecha de Dios, Padre todopoderoso. Desde allí ha de venir a juzgar a vivos y muertos. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, la Santa Iglesia Católica, la comunión de los santos, el perdón de los pecados, la resurrección de los muertos y la vida eterna. Amén
6. Entronización del Sagrado Corazón
( que sea leída por el guía o algún miembro de la familia )Estamos aquí reunidos para honrar a nuestro Rey, Jesucristo, el Hijo de Dios. El es nuestro huésped mas honorado. El nos ama tan ardientemente y quiere ser Rey de nuestro hogar y de nuestros corazones. Nos reunimos y con gentileza lo recibimos en nuestro hogar. Te amamos, amado Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. Te honramos este día y somos privilegiados de que tú, Dios, nos ames tanto.
Ayudanos a todos a conocerte y amarte más. Te honramos, te alabamos, te adoramos y te amamos.
Ven y vive en nuestros corazones. Como Rey y centro de nuestras vidas, queremos estar siempre contigo, Sacratísimo Corazón de Jesús, te amamos tanto.
Ven a estar con cada miembro de esta familia de una manera muy especial. Ayudanos en todas nuestras actividades y obras. Amado Espíritu Santo, dirígenos hacia el amor ardiente del Corazón de Jesús.
María, Madre nuestra amorosísima, tú que llevaste a Jesús en tu vientre, tú que lo cuidaste cuando era un niño, tú que siempre te mantuviste de pie a su lado y estuviste con él en el Monte Calvario, tú, amada Madre, que estuviste al pie de la cruz y sufriste tanto por amor a él y por nosotros, tú que abrazaste Su cuerpo sin vida junto a la cruz, tú que viste su cuerpo glorificado después de la resurrección y que lo viste ascender el cielo, tú amada María, tú que conoces este Sagrado, tierno y amoroso Corazón, colócanos delicadamente en su Sacratísimo Corazón.
Protege y dirije a cada persona presente y a sus familias a esta unión intensa con tu Hijo. Te pedimos por todos los sacerdotes del mundo, tus hijos ungidos especiales, para dirigir a todos tus hijos al amor de tu Sacratísimo Corazón.
Que el Sagrado Corazón de Jesús reine por siempre en los corazones de todos por medio del Corazón Inmaculado de María.
Te alabamos, te honramos, nuestro amado Jesús. ¡Amamos tiernamente tu Corazón!
Amado Padre, gracias por Tu amado Hijo. Gracias por los regalos que nos haces. Te Damos gracias por hacernos partícipes de tu vida divina por medio del bautismo. Somos tus amados hijos. Llévanos a una unión más íntima contigo, Dios Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo y con María, en comunión con los ángeles y los santos. Amén.
7. Imágenes de los Corazónes de Jesús y María
(que sea leída en voz alta por el guía o algún miembro de la famila)Debemos tener imágenes y estatuas del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y del Corazón Inmaculado de María en nuestros hogares. Esto ayudará enormemente a honrar a Sus Corazones. Estas imagenes también se deben encontrar en iglesias y capillas.
Estudiemos las promesas del Sagrado Corazón dadas a Santa Margarita María.
8. Encuentren refugio en el Sacratísimo Corazón de Jesús
( que sea leída en voz alta por el guía o algún miembro de la familia )Deseamos que el Sagrado Corazón de Jesús bendiga nuestro hogar de una manera especial. Te pedimos, Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, que bendigas nuestro hogar. Te invitamos a ser el Rey y Centro de nuestros corazones y de nuestro hogar. Que el Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y el Corazón Inmaculado de María reinen en nuestros corazones. Ayúdenos por favor a esparcir la devoción al Sagrado Corazón. En la sección 12 de este folleto se dan a conocer las promesas hechas por Jesús a Santa Margarita María para aquellos los devotos de su Sagrado Corazón. Pongamos las imágenes del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y del Corazón de María a lo largo de nuestras casas.
Cuando leamos las promesas del Sagrado Corazón y las difundamos entre nuestros amigos, mucha gente querrá tener devoción al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. También es posible llevar la imagen del Sagrado Corazón y del Corazón de María con nosotros. Cuando veamos su imagen, recordaremos las promesas. Cuando tengamos un día lleno de dificultades, nos ayudará ver sus imágenes.
Nos servirá de gran ayuda rezar las Letanías del Sagrado Corazón y de la Santísima Virgen.
Jesus nos amó tanto que murió por nosotros. En la cruz, nos dio a María como nuestra Madre espiritual.
María nos lleva a una unión más cercana con Jesús. María nos llevará hasta las profundidades del Corazón de Jesús. María nos ama tanto. Ella es nuestra Madre amorosa. María es pura y tierna de Corazón. Por María experimentaremos una gran intimidad con Dios. Seremos llevados hacia una unión más profunda con el único Dios trino, Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo por medio de su Corazón Inmaculado.
El Corazón de Jesús está ardiendo en amor por nosotros.
(Alabanza: "Soy Su Sagrado Corazón" )
9. Consagren sus Iglesias, Hogares y Lugares de Trabajo al Sagrado Corazón y al Corazón Inmaculado
(que sea leído en voz alta por el guía o algún miembro de la familia)Debemos consagrar el género humano al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. Debemos entronizar a Jesús como Rey en todos los hogares, iglesias y negocios.
Junio es el mes del Sagrado Corazón. Jesús debe reinar, ser REY, de todos los corazones. Jesús dio a conocer sus promesas a Santa Margarita María Alacoque. Leámoslas. Consagremos nuestras iglesias y lugares de oración al Sagrado Corazón para que reine allí.
El Primer Viernes es un día especial de devoción al Sagrado Corazón. Tenemos folletos disponibles para que todos consagren sus hogares, iglesias y negocios al Sagrado Corazón. ¿Podría usted ayudarnos animando a todos a que consagren sus hogares, negocios e iglesias al Sagrado Corazón? ¿Podría usted ayudarnos a difundir estos folletos?
Queremos que el Sagrado Corazón de Jesús reine y que el Corazón Inmaculado de María triunfe en todos los corazones. ¿Desea usted hacer oración por esta intención junto con nosotros y ayudar a difundir este material?
Recomienden a la gente que coloquen a la vista las imágenes del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús y del Corazón Inmaculado de María para que sean honradas.
Mayo es el mes de María y Junio es el mes del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. Hablen a todos sobre esta consagración. En el transcurso de estos meses podemos hacer un esfuerzo especial para hacer ésto.
Reunamos a nuestros amigos y cantemos las alabanzas: "Al Corazón en Fuego de Jesús" y "María Inmaculada" Que estos dos Corazones de amor concedan a todos los miembros de la raza humana paz, felicidad y amor en sus corazones.
Debemos adorar a Jesús en el Santísimo Sacramento. Esto es un gran regalo que Dios nos hace a nosotros. Jesús nos amó tanto que dio su vida por sus almas que él tanto aprecia. Jesús quiere que las almas vengan a él y lo amen.
Es un gran privilegio para nosotros poder recibir a Jesús en la Sagrada Comunión. Jesús tiene un Corazón lleno de amor ardiente por el hombre.
Mientras más nos unamos a Jesús, más nos convertiremos en una sola cosa con el Padre y conoceremos su amor.
Jesús es el Camino, la Verdad y la Vida.
Celebremos la Hora Santa en reparación por la indiferencia, ingratitud y sacrilegios cometidos contra Jesús en el Santísimo Sacramento, el Sacramento de su más grande amor.

Glorious Mysteries
The Resurrection
1. R. Jesus was locked in the tomb for three days and on the third day, He rose from the dead. Death has no power over Jesus!
2. R. Jesus rose to bring us new life. We are partakers in His Divine life. If we have been baptized and remain in the state of grace, He remains within us with this vibrant life. Jesus says: I am alive! I am alive! I am alive!
3. R. Think of every moment of every day, how you go through your day. Silently, Jesus is with us.
Jesus: I love you, I love you, I love you, My dear one! All through your day stop for the little moments when you are plagued with doubt, stop and hear My gentle, loving voice say oh so softly: Oh, how I love you!
4. R. Who are we that God the Father sent His only begotten Son into this world? Who are we that we can be partakers in His life?
5. R. From the pierced Heart of Jesus on the cross flowed blood and water. The sacramental life of the Church was born. Water for baptism. Blood for the Eucharist.
6. Song: A Song From Jesus
7. R. The Father created each one of us uniquely special. There is not another person like us. He has a plan for each one of us. He wants us to live according to this plan. It is in living according to this plan, we will be the happiest. God allows us to share in His life through baptism. Our human nature is elevated.
8. R. Jesus is the mediator. Jesus became a small baby, born of the Virgin Mary. God, became a little baby out of greatest love for us!
9. R. Jesus gave to the apostles the power to baptize and to forgive sins.
10. Song: New Life
R. In baptism we are made children of God and heirs of Heaven.
Song between decades: Come Holy Spirit
The Ascension
1. R. These are truly the Glorious Mysteries! Jesus' lifeless body was locked in the tomb and He rose from the dead. Jesus ascended into Heaven. Think of this!
2. Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Luke 24:50
Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift to you.
John 14: 273. R. Jesus ascends into Heaven and a cloud took Him out of sight.
4. R. The apostles walked with Jesus! They lived with Jesus! How well they knew Jesus, yet they were overcome with fear!
5. R. Jesus promised them before He left:
"John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’" Acts 1: 5
6. R. Jesus is with us this day. He remains with us in His Divinity and humanity in the Eucharist. Jesus feeds the life that we received through Baptism with His very own Body and Blood.
7. R. Jesus feeds us with His Word!
8. R. When we are baptized and remain in the state of grace, the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, dwell within our hearts in such a special way. Do we realize God is in us when we are baptized and remain in the state of grace? We are never alone! Within this interior life that we have is the small, quiet voice of Jesus telling us all throughout the day, minute by minute, second by second, that His Heart beats on fire for each one of us. He whispers in our heart, if we quiet ourselves to listen, He whispers ever so gently: "My beloved ones, Oh how I love you"!
9. R. Never are we alone! Jesus is such an ardent lover. He remains with us. As we breathe, as our heart beats, He is attentive to us!
10. R. Jesus wants to be one with us. Jesus wants us to forever be about our union with Him, to be so close to Him, to be conscious as we breathe of His presence at every moment. For He is truly there and He is softly saying: "I love you, My beloved one."
Song between decades: Come Holy Spirit
The Descent of the Holy Spirit
1. R. The apostles were filled with fear and had locked themselves in the upper room with the Blessed Virgin Mary. There came a gigantic-like wind and over their heads appeared parted tongues of fire.
2. R. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in foreign tongues as the Spirit prompted them.
3. R. They were transformed from fear to fearlessness. They went out to the world to preach the Gospel and all understood.
4. R. They were no longer afraid! Holy Spirit, transform us from fear to fearlessness so that we have the courage to go out into this world and spread the Gospel, to spread the Good News of the love of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus and the love of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
5. R. Jesus calls us to holiness. The Holy Spirit sanctifies our souls. Dear Holy Spirit, please come to us. Transform us more and more into the image of Jesus. We are weak. We need You to help us to be more and more like Jesus.
6. R. What comes from the heart of men is what is projected into this world. If our hearts are filled with the love of God, what comes from our mouth, what is seen from our face, is love. Mary's face is so beautiful because Her Heart is pure and full of love. Look into one another's eyes. The eyes are the windows of the soul. The love of a heart fixed on Jesus shines into this world.
7. R. A heart that is full of hatred and anger, projects angry words on this world, angry and hard faces. Dear Holy Spirit, work ever more in our hearts because it is only through You that we can become like Jesus. We need You to help sanctify us and make us holy. We can not do this on our own.
8. R. Where we are blind, help us to see our faults and admit our faults but to continue to spread the light and love of God into this world, to not hide little faults which keep us from our union with God.
9. R. You call us to holiness. You call us to a pure heart. It is only through Your grace we can be transformed. We ask You to shower us with Your abundant grace.
10. R. Oh Divine God! Give us Your life! Abundant Life!
Song: I Love You Jesus
R. Help us to be saturated more and more with Your grace.
Galatians 2: 19-20
I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living, subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.
Song between decades: Come Holy Spirit
The Assumption of Mary Into Heaven
1. R. Mary remained on the earth many years after Jesus' death. Now she is taken up into Heaven, body and soul!
2. R. Think of the time when you were closely united with Jesus. Think of when you felt the closest after you received Him in the Eucharist. Mary is so one with Jesus. Mary is sinless, pure. Someday we will be in Heaven forever and ever and ever if we love and serve God. The union that we have with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit will be so intense, much more than the union that we have experienced here on earth.
3. R. Jesus gave to us His very own Mother to be our Spiritual Mother, to lead us as we go through our journey from birth to death, to lead us and guide us on our way from babies in the spiritual life to a more advanced spiritual life. Mary is truly our Mother and she is here with us this day to guide us, to form us, to help us to be more and more like the image of Jesus, her beloved Son.
4. R. How man is in his heart is how he projects to this world. How are we in our heart? If there is any anger or hatred with our brother, we can not unite at a deep level with Jesus, Who is Love. Jesus wants to outpour to us His grace. He wants intense union, but we must pray to the Holy Spirit to sanctify us, to help us rid ourselves of the debris in our hearts that take us away from being like Jesus.
5. Song: A Song From Jesus
R. How His Heart burns, burns for love of us. "Burns" is such a flimsy word to describe the unbounded, unending love that God has for us!
6. R. As Mary took care of Jesus all through His life and walked with Him on Calvary, she walks with us through all of our sufferings and trials. Our Beloved Mother is at our side to help us grow more like her Son, Jesus.
7. R. Jesus is alive. The Church is His bride. Mary is the Mother of the Church.
8. R. Jesus and Mary are so present to us here in this, her House. We are chosen! We are called here! We are His apostles to spread the love of His Sacred Heart to this world. We are truly chosen! We are favored to be here for They are with us. We know how every time we come here we experience this immense presence. Mary went up into Heaven but she is present with us this day!
9. R. Heaven is our true home.
10. R. Jesus, help us to love Your Beloved Mother more and more, to model ourselves after her, she, who has such a pure and tender Heart, to be closely united to her, to feel her presence, to feel her maternal touch, to feel her as she holds us and presses us so tenderly to her Heart. Our Beloved Mother holds each one of us as a little child close to her breast!
Song between decades: Come Holy Spirit
The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth
1. 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. Revelation 12: 1
2.
And Mary said:
Luke 1: 46-47
My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Saviour;
3. R. Mary, our Mother, is Queen of Heaven and Earth. She is so close and loving us. We should feel comforted by this most strong, maternal love that she has for each one of us.
4. Mary: My dear chosen ones, how I hold you so closely to my breast. How I protect you from this world that is hurting. How I am forever with you and never leave your side. Come to me! Speak to me! I am your Beloved Mother! I love you with such a tender Heart! I will never leave you! I will always be with you, watching out for you and protecting you and leading you ever closer to the Most Sacred Heart of my Beloved Son.
5. R. Who are we that we are so favored to be so close to Jesus and Mary, to know the presence of the Father and the Holy Spirit, to go to Mass every day and partake in the event of the Mass, to receive God within our breast! He gives Himself to us! We are truly chosen and given such great gifts in this Center! We are chosen and called to go out into this world and to spread the love of God in our hearts to the world that is hurting. We are being called by Jesus and Mary every day. They want us to go out and to do this, to pray for the fearlessness that only the Spirit can impart to us, to do what the Father's will is for us. For He has a special plan for us. He has given us such great gifts. We are part of this gigantic plan to spread the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary to this world.
6. Mary: And the world will hate you, My children. The world is cold and in darkness. They have lost their focus of God. Many have become godless. I call out to you, my beloved children, to come ever closer to me and let me lead you to close union with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus, my Beloved Son, is ever with you, outpouring His love to you. If you realize the love of Jesus, you can not help but love others. You must focus more and more on the intensity of the love that He has for you for it is in realizing this intense love that you will spread this love to others.
7. Mary: Little children! Little children! You do not think that I speak to you! But I call you every day. You do not quiet your hearts and listen to my plaintive cry. Take my words seriously. I am sending you into this world to spread the love of my Son into this world. I beg you! I beg you to pray, pray for fearlessness so that you will not be caught up in the pressures of this world that try to keep you from the work that I am asking you to accomplish.
8. Song: Hail Holy Queen
9. Song: Eye Has Not Seen
10. R. Mary, lead us closer and closer to your Heart for it is through your Heart that we will be ever closer to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is through your Heart that the Holy Spirit can transform us more and more into this image of Jesus. It is through this transformation that we will be led closer to the Father. We ask you, Mary, to draw our hearts closer to your Heart, for you are the key to help us have a deeper, deeper union with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This is our plaintive cry to you, Mary, to lead us ever closer to you so we may be led ever closer to the one Triune God.
This rosary was prayed before the statue of Our Mother of Sorrows at the Holy Spirit Center following the Healing Service. Besides, Rita, Cathy, Joe and Marty, many people were in attendance.

From China
Jesus speaks:
I want the Parents and Children's Rosary
Book printed with a new cover and
circulated --
What happened to Rosary and Elderly --
add the following rosaries for the
Mysteries of Light -- from China, Indiana.
Mysteries of Light
The Baptism of Jesus
1. Matthew 3: 13
Then Jesus appeared: he came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John.
2. Matthew 3: 16
And when Jesus had been baptised he at once came up from the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on him.
3. Matthew 3: 17
And suddenly there was a voice from heaven, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.’
4. Most Sacred Heart of Jesus I place My Trust
in Thee.5. John the Baptist prepared the way of the Lord.
6. Baptism makes us children of God
and heirs of heaven.7. Through baptism our human nature is
elevated, our knowing and loving
capacity elevated.8. When we are baptized and remain in the
state of grace, the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit dwell in us.9. Hebrews 1: 1-2
At many moments in the past and by many means, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets; but in our time, the final days, he has spoken to us in the person of his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the ages.
10. We, through our incorporation into
Christ which occurs at Baptism,
are meant to relive the life, death,
and resurrection of Jesus.
Marriage of Cana
1. John 2: 3
And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’
2. John 2: 6-10
There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’
3. Jesus uses a wedding to do what was
considered His "first miracle" of His public life.4. Jesus changes water to wine.
5. Why do we not see that through our
mystical marriage with Jesus He
can change our sinful hearts to
more pure hearts.6. Jesus gives the priest the power to change bread and
wine into His Body and Blood.7. We are in the state of becoming -- always
growing more and more to be like Jesus.8. On the 5th Blue Book, Jesus is looking
lovingly at the bride -- giving her
the ring for the mystical marriage.9. Jesus is the bridegroom of our soul.
10. Prayer Spouse of the Lamb
Kingdom of God
1. Matthew 5: 1-3
Seeing the crowds, he went onto the mountain. And when he was
seated his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak. This is
what he taught them:How blessed are the poor in spirit:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.2. Matthew 18: 12
‘Tell me. Suppose a man has a hundred sheep and one of them strays; will he not leave the ninety–nine on the hillside and go in search of the stray?
3. Ezekiel 34: 11
“For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it.
4. Ezekiel 34: 12
As a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness.
5. Matthew 11: 25
At that time Jesus exclaimed, ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children.
6. Matthew 11: 28
‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest.
7. John 10: 14
I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me,
8. 1 John 4: 10
Love consists in this:
it is not we who loved God,
but God loved us and sent his Son
to expiate our sins.9. Matthew 13: 44-46
‘The kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in a field which someone has found; he hides it again, goes off in his joy, sells everything he owns and buys the field. ‘Again, the kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls; when he finds one of great value he goes and sells everything he owns and buys it.
10. Matthew 11: 10
he is the one of whom scripture says: Look, I am going to send my messenger in front of you to prepare your way before you.
Transfiguration
1. Matthew 17: 2-3
There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as dazzling as light. And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them; they were talking with him.
2. Matthew 17: 5
He was still speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and suddenly from the cloud there came a voice which said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’
3. If we could see our own graced
soul, we would be in awe.4. We are baptized.
God outpours His grace to us --
we share most abundantly in His grace when
we love and serve Him and go to the sacraments.5. Jesus outpours His grace to us when we
received the Holy Eucharist with
love.6. God outpours His grace when we go
to Him before the Blessed Sacrament --
Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist in
His Divinity and humanity.7. God gives to us a special sharing
in His life through baptism.8. God wants us to go to the Eucharist
and Confession.9. Confirmation makes us special
soldiers in God's army.10. John 3: 16
For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him
may not perish
but may have eternal life.

5. A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.
6. Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
7. A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb the Bridegroom of the soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.
8. Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!
9. Act of consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."
