May 10, 2015 - Mother's Day
R. Eve wanted to be independent of God.
Jeremiah 52: 7-11
a breach was made in the city wall. The king and all the fighting men then fled, leaving the city under cover of dark, by way of the gate between the two walls, which is near the king's garden -- the Chaldaeans had surrounded the city -- and made his way towards the Arabah. The Chaldaean troops pursued the king and caught up with Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, where all his troops deserted. But the Chaldaeans captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the territory of Hamath, where he passed sentence on him. He had Zedekiah's sons slaughtered before his eyes; he also had all the chief men of Judah put to death at Riblah. He then put out Zedekiah's eyes and, loading him with chains, the king of Babylon carried him off to Babylon where he kept him prisoner until his dying day.
Genesis 37: 18-25
They saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they made a plot to kill him. ‘Here comes that dreamer,’ they said to one another. ‘Come on, let us kill him now and throw him down one of the storage–wells; we can say that some wild animal has devoured him. Then we shall see what becomes of his dreams.’
But Reuben heard, and he saved him from their clutches. ‘We must not take his life,’ he said. ‘Shed no blood,’ said Reuben to them, ‘throw him down that well out in the desert, but do not kill him yourselves’—intending to save him from them and to restore him to his father. So, when Joseph reached his brothers, they pulled off his tunic, the decorated tunic which he was wearing, and catching hold of him, threw him into the well. The well was empty, with no water in it. They then sat down to eat.
Jesus: I came into the world to bring My love
to men and they planned to kill Me.
I had enemies that wanted to kill Me
and I am the Son of God. The men who
killed the Jews in World War II were hard
in heart, hard and heartless, but they
continued killing the Jews and told themselves
they were okay doing this slaughter.
So far Rita has come to China on the 13th
for over 17 years. Fr. Carter supported her
and all these messages. Fr. Carter is the
founder, Rita the co-founder of the
Shepherds of Christ.
Magnificence is there when simple
men make things great in the eyes of God.
A man who challenges God and mistreats men
who he is to work with to build God's
Kingdom is a fool. A man who challenges
God and deceives other men by their
actions – never fools God. Satan is a
liar – Satan wants to be on top. Satan
lies, Satan opposes God, Satan is
hate, Satan is division.
A man of magnificence, is a man
of heartfelt love – who gives as I
gave on the cross – who gives to
men and loves all men –
A man whose heart is open and who
is hurt in love but keeps on giving –
I gave and gave and gave and My Heart
was wounded by those who blocked
My Plan for the coming of My Kingdom
of Love –
I am love and he who does not love
his brothers, but claims he loves
God is a liar.
A man of love has compassion in his heart
and is aware of how he has wronged
relationships with others that I have
intended for the building of My Kingdom.
A man can be called to unite and give
love to those in a community and to be
so attractive in his heart of love –
that warmth is felt by all who come
to pray and to be there for unity and
love in God. Magnificence is found in
bringing together hearts in love for
the building of My Kingdom. Love is a
theological virtue – love makes great
things happen. Love is not easy – it
comes from a man who is willing to
take chances giving himself in love –
love focuses on the other. The man who
sees in love – sees vision through the
eyes of God's will –
His focus is not closing down,
hurting others, being jealous, envious of what
others have what he doesn't and
wanting to bring them down – love gives
and keeps on giving – love seeks unity
and building up of God's Kingdom –
Love is joy – love is not being closed
in – in pride seeking one's self glory
and looking at others as enemies
because they don't think much of
themselves and want to bring others
down.
Love is building lasting relationships
for heaven – Love never is shut down
in living in independence to God's rule
of love –
The greatest commandment –
Matthew 22: 36-40
'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'
Jesus: Love gives – love is not afraid to give –
love is always focused on God's Plan –
love sees himself as a person created
by God, with a God-given plan and
love knows that magnificence –
A person in love with God and others
doesn't save themselves with a heart
wounded and ready to punish others
as enemies because they are more concerned
like Eve – to be equal to God.
A person of love is not into measuring
their greatness by the eyes of men and
they are not envious, jealous, prideful,
angry and locked up with baggage
so they can't even walk in a
straight line, their heart is closed,
their fellow men God sends to work
together with them in the building
of the Kingdom – they see as enemies
to conquer, to challenge, to stamp out.
Meanness is a vice.
A man of magnificence is in God.
He sees God as the goal. He wants
God's heart in him operating in him.
I gave this song as a prayer 21 years ago.
Give me your heart, oh Jesus –
Jesus: A person who is mean has this vice
opposite of magnificence and love.
They are so shut down in darkness
their daily life is a habit of being mean
to others and not loving at all.
The mean man short changes everyone,
they are unjust in their dealings with
everyone, deception is underlying this
lack of giving what is due.
You can live a virtuous life and
control yourself. A man of anger,
is never satisfied – he tells himself
he is justified to hurt innocent others
and he uses tricks to maintain his control
over them – like hostages – he wants
power for power sake, he sees his
fellow men to use for his anger
inside and he justifies his anger
and why the other should live under
his darkness and be controlled –
abused by him.
Do you know men who are so blessed
by Me and they never say thanks, they
never help bring the love I give them
to anyone, but hold out in anger and
meanness to make things fail and desire
this failure for other men because of
their meanness and anger inside.
Happiness comes to man and to
society in self-control. A man who
lives his life trying to control others
for his own darkness, but learns
no control of his own desire to punish
and bring others down – will never
be happy with such an attitude.
Happiness will not come to the man who
wants no correction, who does not see
himself responsible and accountable
for mean actions and his heart of anger.
Anger, jealousy, envy, pride are
deadly sins because they deaden
a man's heart and are bad habits –
Gluttony, lust, slothfulness show
the man is unbridled in self-control
and if he desires to punish or be
mean – he seeks to do so to fill
this unbridled bad habit, deadly sin.
It is a habit because a man brings
the prideful way of life as his life –
always seeking to be above others
and putting, even God (he thinks)
under him.
Control and not self-control is paramount
for such a man.
Man's desires must be regulated
by right reason.
Satan comes and tempts a person with
a dark desire to punish another because
of their own anger filling them from
the past. So the person like a fuse
can let go on another because they
want relief from their own darkness.
It is a sad thing when a man lives
a life of independence and saving
their space so nobody ever gets close.
God intends men to grow in the
image and likeness of God. I am love –
So if a man refuses to grow in love
he is disobeying the Greatest Commandment.
Reason becomes very distorted when a
man begins to abuse others, punish
others, retaliate against others
and resists all correction, accountability,
responsibility for their actions.
They are acting NOT GODLY, but
in evil ways that hurt other men,
offend Me and they are out of control –
They pride themselves and live to control
others around them with some
force they use,
they use abuse and believe others
deserve their treatment –
And they keep controlling and controlling
through force to try to mold
the world around them to
their unloving, angry, dark
and hateful ways.
They are out of control!
Happiness is grown in the soul that lives
by the 10 Commandments I gave.
Justice and love to others –
Self-discipline –
Compassion –
Seeking to obey authority as a
guide – knowing I give
power through My authority
to men –
The man who is out of control and mean
is serving a false power –
is serving satan –
is using satan for their independence,
but in fact –
they have become slaves in giving
satan their hearts to hurt and
punish others –
There is a virtue of temperance –
With right reason and this virtue
a man's desires are under
the control he gives to God.
21 Years Ago
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.
-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994
Jesus: Man is not an animal –
Man must control himself –
Man is not an island.
Man is a rational being –
Man cannot operate on his desires
he must live by right reason –
Man has been given so many gifts
when baptized – his knowing
and loving capacity is elevated –
It is a capacity he must seek to develop –
He shares in My knowing activity –
In heaven knowing and loving will
reach a fullness in the
beatific vision –
This is the goal of the man rooted in
God – to reach greater perfection
in loving and knowing God –
to one day have the beatific vision –
to be possessed by God.
A man was given a beautiful garden
by God and on the way to his
garden – snakes attacked
the man and threw him in the
bottom of a pit with more
snakes.
Now you were following and had the
choice to fall into the pit
of snakes or go to the beautiful
garden.
Where would you go?
Where will you go when your life is
ended for how you loved?
On that day – I will show you
your life – so you will see
how you love and served the Lord or
how you chose to hurt and
punish in unloving ways the
brothers and sisters I commanded
you to love.
How is your goal is it directed to
God's goal of love and happiness?
I am love – when you do not
love and punish your brothers
you are not preparing yourself
for any beautiful garden –
The story of who is afraid of the big
bad wolf is a child's story,
but in studying Genesis 3
you see how Eve wanted to
be equal to God and disobeyed God
and she hurt the whole human race.
Sin is communal –
The person giving bad example and
forcing others to put up with
their out of control attitude
and being a leader in religious
life will be judged on what
they freely do that is evil before
others when they wear crucifixes,
habits, etc –
I have given you these days in life
to love and serve Me and to love
others as yourself.
You can hate and never learn
anything about love, but
the reaper can come and
snatch the man holding
others angrily at bay –
Don't fool yourselves – the very hairs
of your head are counted – Man
does not hide from Me –
like Eve in the garden –
Adam and Eve ate of the fruit and hid –
how senseless –
I know all things –
I know the ways of your hearts –
Man is above the beast of the earth –
Man has a free will to love and serve God,
to love other men
or he can be mean, unloving,
manipulative, angry, jealous,
prideful, envious, lustful,
slothful, gluttonness –
Out of Control!
You can have friendship with God –
You can love and serve God –
You can love and serve others
You have a free will –
to serve God or
to sin against Him –
Man can desire evil – it can
be a bad habit to see
your brothers through the eyes of jealousy
and envy, and anger –
to seek dominance over all authority
and try to force others to live
your ways of
DISORDER
seeking dominance over just authority
is DISORDER and
satan is your god!
I work in order –
I am God –
Romans 8: 5-9
Those who are living by their natural inclinations have their minds on the things human nature desires; those who live in the Spirit have their minds on spiritual things. And human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to life and peace, because the outlook of disordered human nature is opposed to God, since it does not submit to God's Law, and indeed it cannot, and those who live by their natural inclinations can never be pleasing to God. You, however, live not by your natural inclinations, but by the Spirit, since the Spirit of God has made a home in you. Indeed, anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
Jesus: A man craving food and sex,
if he keeps giving in sinfully,
is out
of control he does not have
the virtues of temperance and
he brings that into every
desire in his life –
This craving for food and sex, for
example, brings him to
put that before loving Me and others.
Likewise a man who does not eat
properly is not obeying
the will of God –
He gratifies his own desires
for whatever reason,
beauty etc. –
Pleasures of the body –
Pleasures become the god –
Abusers become more and more
dull as they need that fix
to feel and they justify why
they can be unloving and
out of control with job,
responsibility and can say –
"oh too bad"
OUT OF CONTROL
I give you the means to use sense
desires appropriately and in
right reason.
To be honest, truthful is to be
more and more in My image and likeness.
I am the way, the truth and the life –
It is a feather in satan's cap when
a person pledges virginity in their
vocation and then is hateful to all
around them –
The religious orders have followed
the vows
of poverty
chastity
and obedience –
The man who is prideful is not
obedient to God, to just authority,
his focus is to be on top
and to put everything under
his feet.
Priestly Newsletter Book II - September/October 1997
In all this Mary offers an example. Selfishness was totally foreign to her. She did not belong to herself. She belonged to God. She was not closed in upon herself. She was completely open to God. When God spoke, she listened. When God pointed the way, she followed. She realized that life is not a process a person masters by carefully mapping out one's own self-conceived plans of conquest, but a mystery to be gradually experienced by being open to God's personal and loving guidance.
Selfishness, then, did not close Mary off from God's call. Neither did fear. God asked her to assume a tremendous responsibility. He asked her to be the Mother of Jesus. Mary did not engage in a process of false humility and say that such a great role was above her. She did not say that she did not have the proper qualifications for this awesome mission. Briefly, she did not waste time looking at herself, making pleas that she was not worthy, telling the angel he had better go look for someone else. No, Mary did not look at herself. Her gaze was absorbed in God. She fully realized that whatever God asked of her, His grace would accomplish. She fully realized that although she herself had to cooperate, this work was much more God's than hers.
Mary's words, then, truly sum up what is the authentic Christian response at any point of life, in any kind of situation: "I am the handmaid of the Lord," said Mary, "let what you have said be done to me".
R. Mary appeared May 5th.
Jesus appeared May 5th.
They said many souls were going
to hell that day.
From Fatima Peace Plan — Tan Books p.4-5.
July 13, 1917
THE CHILDREN SEE HELL
"During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great public miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary."
As she spoke these words, Our Lady stretched out her hands, and bright rays came forth which seemed to penetrate into the earth. All at once the ground vanished, and the children found themselves standing on the brink of a sea of fire. As they peered into this dreadful place, the terrified youngsters saw huge numbers of devils and damned souls. The devils resembled hideous black animals, each filling the air with despairing shrieks. The damned souls were in their human bodies and seemed to be brown in color, tumbling about constantly in the flames and screaming with terror. All were on fire within and without their bodies, and neither devils nor damned souls seemed able to control their movements. They were tossing about in the flames like fiery coals in a furnace. There was never an instant's peace or freedom from pain.
Looking with compassion at the pale and trembling little ones, the vision spoke to them: "You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace."

The Prayer of the Angel at Fatima
"My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You."
"Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications."
