John 17: 20-26
I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.Father,
I want those you have given me
to be with me where I am,
so that they may always see my glory
which you have given me
because you loved me
before the foundation of the world.
Father, Upright One,
the world has not known you,
but I have known you,
and these have known
that you have sent me.
I have made your name known to them a
nd will continue to make it known,
so that the love with which you loved me
may be in them,
and so that I may be in them.
Jesus: Today is a gift I give you –
Do not throw away the opportunity to
live in harmony with God's will.
Pride can dominate a person's actions
their whole life –
If a person makes decisions based on
putting themselves first, above God's
will for them, they are out of order –
Some people serve –
Some people are put ahead of others –
I showed you how I obeyed My Father's will
to My death on the cross –
The saints gave witness to their velour
in serving God –
Like in the Scriptures at Mass
you see St. Paul and how he was
ship-wrecked, persecuted and he never
gave up –
how St. Paul went forward and forward
with the Mission given to him –
The Holy Spirit helps a person live their vocation –
Pray to the Holy Spirit to guide you –
To be prideful is disorder –
So a person bases their actions on pride and
then the house caves in on them –
Because of pride they stay where they
are justifying themselves in disorder
and hurting themselves and every one
they were called to serve –
Look at Mary – how selfless she was –
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".
Jesus: I have called servants and handmaids of the
Good Shepherd to live more and more
holy lives.
Luke 1: 46-55
And Mary said:
My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
from their thrones
and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
of Israel his servant,
mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
and to his descendants for ever.
Mary: I am the perfect handmaid
of the Lord – I call you to serve and
love Jesus, My Beloved Son –
This mission is about love and helping souls –
This mission is about being in order
under the Plan the Father has put
to the Shepherds of Christ Movement –
You cannot serve two Masters –
You are under the Plan of God the Father
How foolish to be out of order because
of pride, anger, jealousy, envy
and slothfulness –
Then to stay there opposing God's will because
of pride, anger, jealousy, envy
and slothfulness –
When the devil tempts a person to oppose
God's will and they give in – the conflict
is in them - with God –
Order is order –
Disorder is disorder –
God is the Creator and you are the creatures –
Your life goes on in petty pace and soon it
has ended –
Your eternal reward depends on how you
learned to live in love – serving God
as He called you –
The goal of your actions should be –
eternal happiness, forever in heaven –
A man is under God –
You are to learn obedience to God's will –
You are to live God's will –
You are to be servants and handmaids
of God –
I showed you how to be a handmaid
and servant of God –
I showed you obedience to God –
Unless you confess your sins that hurt
others and have a strong intention
to not sin again and to help make
reparation for your offenses
against God – you will be
unhappy
God wants you to be happy eternally with
Him in heaven –
All your actions should be based on this
goal – never on pride and anger
and jealousy, envy, slothfulness –
Did you not learn of consequences from
the pride of Eve in the Garden –
She was given so many gifts and
her god was her pride –
And all her descendants suffered
because of her pride –
If you love your children, grandchildren,
if you love others – you would see
how pride, anger, jealousy, envy and
slothfulness will hurt your descendants
when you do not repent –
Showing docility and obedience and love
in community and in life is what
you are to witness to –
Satan tells a man to be so filled up with
pride he cannot come down from
his high tower –
Read Genesis 3 –
Then reflect how pride effected the
descendants of Eve – it is an
important lesson –
Jesus told you
John 3: 10, 12
Jesus replied, ‘You are the Teacher of Israel, and you do not know these things!
‘...If you do not believe me
when I speak to you about earthly things,
how will you believe me
when I speak to you about heavenly things?
Mary: Life is in God
If you want to follow Jesus you must
take up your cross, like St. Paul,
and follow Jesus –
You find this taught in the Gospels –
my children –
You will be persecuted, you will
suffer – look at Jesus, but a
man of pride who is out of order
has the great conflict within, when
he holds onto his position and does not seek
forgiveness –
how dark is the darkness of satan –
Your heart is made for love – love of God
and others –
I showed you how to obey according to the
order God set for me –
I am the perfect Handmaid of the Lord –
You can hear the Apostles speak –
Lord, if we don't follow You –
Where do we go –
Some threw in the face of Jesus the gifts
they were given –
then after hurting so many and witnessing
to pride –
they further attempted in anger to tear
the house down –
Not seeing 10 years, 20 years of life
are so small when compared
to eternity.
Life – 10 - 20 Years
Eternity never ends
Mary: My Spouse the Holy Spirit will guide you and give you
His gifts, but you cannot work with the Holy Spirit
when you hold onto the deadly sins of pride,
anger, jealousy, envy and slothfulness –
When you oppose God's will and turn away
from God –
you must let go of that, that you did
when you opposed God and turned
away from Him –
To turn back to God's will – you
cannot hold onto what is evil –
You must pray to see through the eyes of God –
What you see is far superior to anything
earthy when you have the goal of
your actions in eternal salvation –
eternal happiness –
A man can live his whole life, teaching
others, his children, grandchildren
that he is his own god –
What a man needs to teach to his children
is how to be obedient – to live in
the order that is God's will – the lesson
he teaches them to obey just authority
is the lesson to help them have eternal happiness –
You are to live in obedience to God's rule –
You cannot oppose God's rules and
teach your children this and help
lead them to eternal happiness –
The 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.
Mary: God wants to reveal to you supernatural
truths –
God is absolute truth –
There can be no lies in you, my children –
Satan is the father of lies –
God wants to give you insight into the hidden
mysteries –
So as you are in your heart – you will
be in this world –
A man of justice is a man learning to
give God what is His due and
giving to others what is their due.
Giving to God what is His due is a big
thing –
The deeper a man gets into pride and
ruling – the more he decides
he is in charge and makes decisions based
on what he wants the outcome to be –
based on pride and anger, jealousy, envy
and slothfulness –
A man serving God is virtuous –
His goal is eternal happiness –
His goal is to live in the truth – not to
show before others his power and
disorder – power for power sake –
My children your life may end –
without warning – a car wreck –
when you are caught unprepared –
Why would you test God –
God has all the power – what you sow, so shall
you reap
The fruit does not fall - far from the tree
Mary: Focus on the Divine Mysteries –
When you are filled with the Holy Spirit and His
gifts you know more and more
supernaturally –
You want the truth –
You are not shaded by the deception of
satan, like Eve in the Garden
You see how the Old Testament prefigures the New Testament –
You see and you understand insight
into the hidden mysteries –

Mary: Under the visible is the invisible –
You see the mystery –
Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.
... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.
The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.
At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ.
Mary: The earth is to rejoice in the mystery of God –
The earth is to sing the praises of God –
The earth is to reach for the heavenly –
to be seeking to go up – not down –
the Mystery is being given a lot in
these writings and the devil
does not want this –
The devil has aimed to stop the circulation
of my Son's love letters because he
knows how important they are to souls –
The devil wants to stop the gifts given
by God to help men know His love –
The devil hates men loving –
He hates men loving God –
He hates men loving each other –
The devil wants division
The devil wants disunity –
The devil wants to tear the place
down –
R. We see things in fragmented fashion –
We need the guidance of the Holy Spirit to help
us to even see – the plan for men
and that God wants them pure –
God wants them eternally with Him
in heaven –
We have a wounded human nature – we
are being tested – we can't give
into the deadly sins – we must live
by God's laws and live according
to the will of God –
Pride is out of order –
A man puts himself above God –
Seeking dominance for dominance sake –
And if a man does not turn from that
which turned him away from God –
he cannot hold onto that and
turn back to God –
We do not know – we do not see clearly –
We need the Holy Spirit to help us to know
and see supernaturally –
We are not a man who says –
I have the plan and I can manipulate
the plan of God –
We recognize that we are learners and
do see in veiled ways and are
seeking the gifts of the Holy Spirit to
know and love on a supernatural
level –
Come Holy Spirit, Come – enlighten the eyes
of the faithful – help us to be
docile to Your touch –
We pray to know the hidden things more
clearly – to know the scripture –
to know insight into the Divine
Mysteries –
God is over
We are under
Anything else is disorder –
To live opposed to God's will means I
have conflict with God in my
heart and soul – I can blame the
darkness on anybody I want, but opposing
God's will is going to end up in
conflict with God –
We seek the gifts of the Holy Spirit
Understanding helps us know more
and more supernatural truth.
We advance in these truths and we
seek eternal salvation as our
goal –
We seek insight into the hidden
mysteries –
We can go to a high mountain and see
the wonders of God – waters –
high hills, rocks –
flowers, but we can't
even take it in –
The mystery of the high sky and clouds and
how high the elevation as we stand
before the valleys and plains from
above –
We are wanderers walking in God's world –
our feet are taking us, but the joy
is in the heart as He unfolds for
us greater mystery into the truth –
into the supernatural world –
We cannot see things clearly now – we
seek heights of knowing God and
insights into the Divine Mysteries –
We are pilgrims on a journey –
We seek to know God's justice –
We seek to know God's love –
We seek to know God's mercy –
We want to know more the mystery
of the Word, Incarnate –
We seek to know about the Mass and
the sacraments –
The sharing in His life –
The gifts poured out to us –
We see the saints – their humbleness –
their love for others –
the giving of themselves in such
fashion, for the sake of men
and loving God so much –
God wants to shine His bright light in
our soul and help us to let go
of our inordinate attachments
and grow in greater purity, to be
witnesses before men –
We see the reference to the blind man in
the scriptures –
Are we blind –
We want to see.
Song: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord –
R. Why would a blind man seek to stay
blind?
God is reaching out to us to see –
Come Holy Spirit, Come, enlighten the eyes of
the faithful.
R. We contemplate the natural and the
supernatural –
Baptism opens the gifts to us of the
supernatural world –
We seek to know God –
In baptism - our knowing and loving
capacity is elevated –
It is a capacity – We are capable
of knowing and loving on a supernatural
level in God – We seek God to give us
insights into the hidden mysteries –
We must know God deeply more and more
if we are to move ahead on a
supernatural level –
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.
1 Corinthians 2: 10
to us, though, God has given revelation through the Spirit, for the Spirit explores the depths of everything, even the depths of God.
R. We must go to God and ask the Holy Spirit to work
in us –
We have to go to God to know God –
We must be open and docile to His touch –
We seek greater and greater union with God –
We seek presence –
To know God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in
our graced, baptized soul –
The more we love - the more we know –
We beg the Holy Spirit to fill us with His love –
John 6: 35-58
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.
But, as I have told you,
you can see me and still you do not believe.
Everyone whom the Father gives me
will come to me;
I will certainly not reject
anyone who comes to me,
because I have come from heaven,
not to do my own will,
but to do the will of him who sent me.
Now the will of him who sent me
is that I should lose nothing
of all that he has given to me,
but that I should raise it up
on the last day.
It is my Father's will
that whoever sees the Son
and believes in him
should have eternal life,
and that I should raise that person up
on the last day.Meanwhile the Jews were complaining to each other about him, because he had said, 'I am the bread that has come down from heaven.' They were saying, 'Surely this is Jesus son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know. How can he now say, "I have come down from heaven?" ' Jesus said in reply to them, 'Stop complaining to each other.
'No one can come to me
unless drawn by the Father who sent me,
and I will raise that person up
on the last day.
It is written in the prophets:
They will all be taught by God;
everyone who has listened to the Father,
and learnt from him,
comes to me.
Not that anybody has seen the Father,
except him who has his being from God:
he has seen the Father.
In all truth I tell you,
everyone who believes has eternal life.
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.
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
R. We cannot bear fruit of ourselves –
we must remain in the vine –
Jesus says John 15: 4-5
John 15: 4-5
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
R. This union we have with God is closer
than any union we can have
with men –
God wants to teach us more and more
about Himself – lead us into
insight of the Divine Mysteries –
Jesus: I give you My Blue Books to help you.
Seek True Treasures
February 17, 1994 5:30 a.m.
Jesus: My little ones, how are you doing? Are you getting bogged down in this weather? Do you know yet that you do not control the elements? You live every day and you think you have much to do to control your actions but you do not see the eyes of Him Who watches over you with loving care.
I give to you this earth and all you need to sustain your life here. Man worries about the earth and if this or that will happen. Man has become so independent that he thinks he controls all things and he needs to worry about his present and future.
You, My favored, chosen ones, know that life here lasts but a moment and like smoke it is gone without a trace. Look at your ancestors. So few people ever remember their ancestors, yet your ancestors thought that at every moment their actions were so crucial. Little ones, you hold on to life. You hold on to these little happenings here and you worry in vain! Look at the big picture, My little ones. Here today, gone tomorrow, and where are you going?
The days go by with such speed. "Oh," you say, "Where have the years gone?" You think every second is so important. You worry, you fret, you wander empty roads and I watch you. I see you with your emphasis on the moment. You are being deceived, My little ones. It is in seeing the moment as part of eternity that you really know what is going on. Each moment you live, you are the teacher about the God Who dwells in your breast. Each moment you live, you are My messenger to this cold, scared world. Nothing you do means anything except as you are serving Me.
Take off your glasses. Behold the life above. See every moment as a drop of the life to come. See every moment as part of eternity. All these drops together make up your pass into My kingdom.
You worry, you wonder, you fret, you hold on. I give you a toothache, I take it away. One second and a toothache is gone. Is that not how it is with life–one second and it is gone? Oh, how those little precious moments seem to die away and you scarce can remember what happened! Yet during people's lives those moments seem earth-shattering. Those moments are yesterday's forgotten memories. You hold on, you fret, you fume and I watch you let go of each moment, only to become forgotten by today.
Store up your moments as part of eternity. Every moment here is part of your pass to My kingdom. How are you living this moment? Is it used to give service to Me and preach My gospel? Are you making all your moments count towards your eternity? Each moment is but a breath and it is gone. Did you use the moment I gave you to do My work? This time is not yours. I can snatch your moments away in one breath. It matters, My children, only as you choose to serve Me and spread My love!
If everyone had God as their primary goal, what love you would possess. What power you would know, because God is the mightiest force. I have all the power. Other power is false power!
Do you get it yet? Do you think anything you hold on to is so precious here? Here today, gone tomorrow, and I snatch you from your seats and you never return to finish what you deemed so important.
Are you comprehending My words here? The body is but an instrument to get you around. Reach with the spirit within. Live from the soul. Communicate with Me in your soul. Look for the unseen world that surrounds you constantly. Die to yourself.
You have a soul at this very moment that is a vibrant spiritual force alive within you. Live from your soul, My little ones. Focus on your soul. Live from your heart. Do not fret and fume for the things of this world. Here today, gone tomorrow, and then forgotten. Today's moments, yesterday's forgotten treasures. Do they mean so much or do you forget what seemed so important?
Reach with the soul. Live for God. Each moment is your chance to store up treasures for eternity. They will never be forgotten. What you do to help others to know Me will never be forgotten. How you loved will never be forgotten. How you gave lives on in those you touched. Your love is like a bubbling brook. It bubbles and keeps on bubbling. Your selfishness dies the moment after you live it.
Love is the force. Love is the power that reflects the God above. Love is not selfish. Love does not demand its own way. Love gives and doesn't stop giving. On the day of judgment it will be found in the hearts of those you touched. Think of only yourself and watch your moments become yesterday's forgotten moments. Love your brothers and watch the world reflect the love you gave, from now to the end.
Love or selfishness? I call you to love. I call you to plant a seed that grows into a mighty oak. Plant My seeds of love. Ask not how you can attain your goal but how you can fulfill the goal of God. Love God, love one another. Too simple, too hard for many.
Love, children. Reflect the God Who dwells within your soul. Store up your moments forever lest they become yesterday's forgotten treasure.
Like ripples on a pond, your love never dies. It reaches on and on and goes into the moments of eternity. Love is lasting. Love never dies. Love God, love one another. Die to yourself and live.

Nothing good in deed or thought,
Nothing free from taint of ill!Heal our wounds, our strength renew;
On our dryness pour your dew;
Wash the stains of guilt away;Bend the stubborn heart and will;
Melt the frozen, warm the chill;
Guide the steps that go astray.On the faithful, who adore
And confess you, evermore
In your sev'nfold gift descend;Give them virtue's sure reward;
Give them your salvation, Lord;
Give them joys that never end. Amen.
Alleluia.

R. I dreamed Jesus put His arm around me and I felt so secure.
Feed the hungry, I have been getting this
for the last 6 weeks.

Letter to Jesus
R. I played at Mass yesterday and I heard everyone
singing and praising God - I was thrilled
at all of them praising You. I kept
playing from the heart. I felt Your presence
and I felt it last week in Communion -
like a pressure on my chest knowing You are
this close to me. I know You are with me.Jesus, help me to find Your light deep inside
me, a light only You can give. I can flounder
around inside for years in darkness, but
You can turn the light on and fill me
with your peace, only You can fill me with
Your peace.God speaks: Peace, I leave My peace. I give peace
to you.R. Peace for me? Lamb of God, You take
away the sins of the world, grant us peace.Breathe in the richness, the fullness
of God, the richness, the fullness of God.
Psalm 91: 2
saying to Yahweh, ‘My refuge, my fortress,
my God in whom I trust!’
R. Jesus, here is my heart, please put on Your
spiritual bandages. And as You place a
spiritual bandage on each scar, the scar
is healed by the power of Your grace and the
bandage disappears.
Psalm 91: 2
saying to Yahweh, ‘My refuge, my fortress,
my God in whom I trust!’
R. And You are here, Lord. You stand
across the room from me and You come
close to me clothed in white. Your
body is surrounded by
a beautiful light and You come near me with
Your power and Your love. Your strong but
gentle hand You place on my head and
through my body is a feeling of warmth,
joy and peace, and I know I am
touched by Your ever present love.
October 29, 1991
Jesus: I have sent a shower of grace healing and
nourishing you.You are My child and you are precious in My eyes,
I love you.Breathe in the goodness, the richness of God.
R. I will not cease praising Him, my God.
Matthew 11: 28-30
‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’
R. Glory and praise to You, Oh Lord Jesus Christ.
Psalm 66: 1-2
Acclaim God, all the earth,
sing psalms to the glory of his name,
glorify him with your praises,
R. You have touched our hearts and now we listen to Your word.
My heart is on fire with Your love deep within me.
Fill me, LORD.
Oh, Spirit of God, guide my going out and my coming in - for You have touched my heart and You will show me the way of the Lord.
R. With a contrite heart for my sins I beg of You to shower Your grace deep in my soul.
I don't want to leave, I want this peace and love to linger and be there with me all day, I want this warmth inside to continue with You Lord Jesus and Holy Spirit and God the Father. My Father, Who made me special, my Father, You created me as Your child. I have a divine lineage. My Father is God. I am His precious child.
God speaks: I have healed you and you will be set free - go in the mercy of God.
R. Permeate my heart with Your love so I may know You more and more.
As a child of God, I have dignity, I am somebody - what would God not do for His child?

Matthew 25: 34-40
Then the King will say to those on his right hand, "Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take as your heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you made me welcome, lacking clothes and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me." Then the upright will say to him in reply, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome, lacking clothes and clothe you? When did we find you sick or in prison and go to see you?" And the King will answer, "In truth I tell you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me."
