12 Years Ago
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

Rejoice in the Lord
Believe in Jesus
Jesus is the Savior
Jesus died for all
Song: A Song from Jesus —
Paul traveled to help people in
darkness to come to the light —
How did Paul travel all he did —
13 letters of Paul survived
Paul's writings make up so much of
the New Testament —
Paul went to the Gentiles
Lidia offered her house —
Church was brought to Philippi
Paul and Silas were put in prison —
Paul and Silas sang and prayed —
There was an earthquake
The jail was thrown open —
The jailer wanted to kill himself with
a sword
Paul told him to believe in Jesus —
The jailer and his whole house was baptized —
Acts 16: 22-34
The crowd joined in and showed its hostility to them, so the magistrates had them stripped and ordered them to be flogged. They were given many lashes and then thrown into prison, and the gaoler was told to keep a close watch on them. So, following such instructions, he threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks.
In the middle of the night Paul and Silas were praying and singing God’s praises, while the other prisoners listened. Suddenly there was an earthquake that shook the prison to its foundations. All the doors flew open and the chains fell from all the prisoners. When the gaoler woke and saw the doors wide open he drew his sword and was about to commit suicide, presuming that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted at the top of his voice, ‘Do yourself no harm; we are all here.’
He called for lights, then rushed in, threw himself trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas, and escorted them out, saying, ‘Sirs, what must I do to be saved?’ They told him, ‘Become a believer in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, and your household too.’ Then they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all his household. Late as it was, he took them to wash their wounds, and was baptised then and there with all his household. Afterwards he took them into his house and gave them a meal, and the whole household celebrated their conversion to belief in God.
We must believe in God, and follow
God's will — we live as God
wants us to —
We thank God for all Paul did —
We thank God for our lives today —
We thank God —
Philippians 4: 8
Finally, brothers, let your minds be filled with everything that is true, everything that is honourable, everything that is upright and pure, everything that we love and admire—with whatever is good and praiseworthy.
Athens was full of false gods —
Acts 17: 15, 22—-18:1
end of excerptPaul's escort took him as far as Athens, and went back with instructions for Silas and Timothy to rejoin Paul as soon as they could.
So Paul stood before the whole council of the Areopagus and made this speech:
'Men of Athens, I have seen for myself how extremely scrupulous you are in all religious matters, because, as I strolled round looking at your sacred monuments, I noticed among other things an altar inscribed: To An Unknown God. In fact, the unknown God you revere is the one I proclaim to you.
'Since the God who made the world and everything in it is himself Lord of heaven and earth, he does not make his home in shrines made by human hands. Nor is he in need of anything, that he should be served by human hands; on the contrary, it is he who gives everything — including life and breath — to everyone. From one single principle he not only created the whole human race so that they could occupy the entire earth, but he decreed the times and limits of their habitation. And he did this so that they might seek the deity and, by feeling their way towards him, succeed in finding him; and indeed he is not far from any of us, since it is in him that we live, and move, and exist, as indeed some of your own writers have said:
We are all his children.
'Since we are the children of God, we have no excuse for thinking that the deity looks like anything in gold, silver or stone that has been carved and designed by a man.
'But now, overlooking the times of ignorance, God is telling everyone everywhere that they must repent, because he has fixed a day when the whole world will be judged in uprightness by a man he has appointed. And God has publicly proved this by raising him from the dead.'
At this mention of rising from the dead, some of them burst out laughing; others said, 'We would like to hear you talk about this another time.' After that Paul left them, but there were some who attached themselves to him and became believers, among them Dionysius the Aeropagite and a woman called Damaris, and others besides.
After this Paul left Athens and went to Corinth,

He was pretty depressed from Athens

His visit to Corinth was more fruitful
Paul went to Corinth —
Corinth was a sea port city —

Paul had a struggle
Paul wrote 1 Corinthians 13
1 Corinthians 13: 1-13
Though I command languages both human and angelic—if I speak without love, I am no more than a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. And though I have the power of prophecy, to penetrate all mysteries and knowledge, and though I have all the faith necessary to move mountains—if I am without love, I am nothing. Though I should give away to the poor all that I possess, and even give up my body to be burned—if I am without love, it will do me no good whatever.
Love is always patient and kind; love is never jealous; love is not boastful or conceited, it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage, it does not take offence or store up grievances. Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but finds its joy in the truth. It is always ready to make allowances, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.
Love never comes to an end. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if tongues, they will fall silent; and if knowledge, it will be done away with. For we know only imperfectly, and we prophesy imperfectly; but once perfection comes, all imperfect things will be done away with. When I was a child, I used to talk like a child, and see things as a child does, and think like a child; but now that I have become an adult, I have finished with all childish ways. Now we see only reflections in a mirror, mere riddles, but then we shall be seeing face to face. Now I can know only imperfectly; but then I shall know just as fully as I am myself known.
As it is, these remain: faith, hope and love, the three of them; and the greatest of them is love.
Paul wrote of God and love
God is love —
If we are likened to God — we are
loving — loving God and loving others
Paul was imprisoned and beaten
his body was full of scars —
Paul was bitten by a snake —
Paul suffered for the Lord —
Paul was ship wrecked —
Paul suffered for the Gospel —
Paul was imprisoned and put in chains —
Paul suffered for Jesus Christ
2nd letter of Paul to Timothy was
his last written word.
67 AD Paul was beheaded —
St. Luke wrote Gospel according to St. Luke
St. Luke wrote Acts of the Apostles and a companion of Paul
Jesus ascended into heaven
Acts 1: 1-11
In my earlier work, Theophilus, I dealt with everything Jesus had done and taught from the beginning until the day he gave his instructions to the apostles he had chosen through the Holy Spirit, and was taken up to heaven. He had shown himself alive to them after his Passion by many demonstrations: for forty days he had continued to appear to them and tell them about the kingdom of God. While at table with them, he had told them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait there for what the Father had promised. ‘It is’, he had said, ‘what you have heard me speak about: John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’
Now having met together, they asked him, ‘Lord, has the time come for you to restore the kingdom to Israel?’ He replied, ‘It is not for you to know times or dates that the Father has decided by his own authority, but you will receive the power of the Holy Spirit which will come on you, and then you will be my witnesses not only in Jerusalem but throughout Judaea and Samaria, and indeed to earth’s remotest end.’
As he said this he was lifted up while they looked on, and a cloud took him from their sight. They were still staring into the sky as he went, when suddenly two men in white were standing beside them, and they said, ‘Why are you Galileans standing here looking into the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way as you have seen him go to heaven.’
Luke 24: 46-53
and he said to them, ‘So it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that, in his name, repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses to this.
‘And now I am sending upon you what the Father has promised. Stay in the city, then, until you are clothed with the power from on high.’
Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven. They worshipped him and then went back to Jerusalem full of joy; and they were continually in the Temple praising God.
The Son of God was seated at the right hand of God before His birth —
Now it is assumed Jesus took His place at
the right hand — sharing in God's Power and glory —
Ephesians 1: 17-23
May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a spirit of wisdom and perception of what is revealed, to bring you to full knowledge of him. May he enlighten the eyes of your mind so that you can see what hope his call holds for you, how rich is the glory of the heritage he offers among his holy people, and how extraordinarily great is the power that he has exercised for us believers; this accords with the strength of his power at work in Christ, the power which he exercised in raising him from the dead and enthroning him at his right hand, in heaven, far above every principality, ruling force, power or sovereignty, or any other name that can be named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. He has put all things under his feet, and made him, as he is above all things, the head of the Church; which is his Body, the fullness of him who is filled, all in all.
Stephen said at his martyrdom —
Acts 7: 55-56
But Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at God’s right hand. ‘Look! I can see heaven thrown open,’ he said, ‘and the Son of man standing at the right hand of God.’
Paul said letter to Hebrews
Hebrews 1: 3
He is the reflection of God's glory and bears the impress of God's own being, sustaining all things by his powerful command; and now that he has purged sins away, he has taken his seat at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high.
Luke 24: 50-53
Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven. They worshipped him and then went back to Jerusalem full of joy; and they were continually in the Temple praising God.

Glorious Mysteries
This rosary was received on Sunday, October the 13th, 1996 at an International Shepherds of Christ Associates Meeting at Tom Arlinghaus’ farm in Kentucky. The rosary was led by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J., spiritual director of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. The meditations and messages were given to Rita Ring during the rosary. This rosary was received live and transcribed from the recording. This live recording can be obtained by writing Shepherds of Christ Publications. All of these meditations have been discerned by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J.
The Resurrection
1. Messenger: Jesus has told us how He is the vine and we are the branches. We must stay rooted in Him so that His life flows through us. We cannot become disconnected from the vine. We are one, joined with Him.
2. Hail Mary...
3. Jesus: I am calling you, My special apostles, to this farm on this day of October 13th, 1996. I will fill your hearts with the fire of My love, and the fire of this love will spread across the earth and many hearts will know My love and be touched through you. Open wide your heart during this rosary that I may speak to you and tell you of My burning love for you. I am giving to you an abundant sharing in My life. Open your heart. I am knocking at the door of your heart. You must not close your heart. Open wide that I can come in and fill you with My divine love.
4. Messenger: Oh, my beloved Jesus, I see You glistening and covered in white. I know that You rose on the third day and that there is such glory in the resurrection. My life is a constant death and resurrection as I live in You.
5. Focus on the body of a Man hanging on the cross. You see this vividly before your eyes-a Man covered with Blood, His head crowned with thorns. He is beaten and withered. This is the Almighty God, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who came and gave Himself for love of us. Focus on this picture in your mind. Make it so clear as if you were there, as if you are seeing this with your eyes, at this moment, this Man on the cross, with flesh covered with Blood. Jesus died. He was locked in a tomb for three days. Now see next to this picture of this Man the glorified Body of Jesus, His glorified wounds, as He comes forth from the tomb. The Almighty God, our beloved and loving Jesus-He is alive, He is with us this day. He lives in us in a special way. When we are baptized and in the state of grace, God is alive within us and He shares with us His divine life. We are Christ to one another for He is alive in us.
When I talk to you, I am seeing the Jesus that is alive inside of you. We are all gathered as one body. We see Jesus. We see Him dead on the cross. This is how much that He loved us. Do we not know that He died for us because of this great love, that He wants us to be one body? I see the vine and the branches and I see how they are so connected that the life and the fluid runs through the vine to the branches-it’s all one. We are one in Him. He has given us a sharing in His divine life. Look at us, how separate we are with each other, how we hold ourselves at arm’s length and separate ourselves from one another. We are called in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to be one flock with one shepherd.
The Almighty God is alive and He lives in us. I went to Mass and Communion this morning and I received the Body of Christ; you receive the Body of Christ. He gives to us His life. He gives to us Himself. We must strive in this Movement to be one, to live this consecration in our lives that we are one with each other, that we put aside all of the tauntings by the devil to divide us, that we realize that division is from Satan. As we march across this United States and this world, we will carry the fire of His love, alive inside of us, for He is alive and He lives within our hearts. We are called to this special mission as His apostles to carry this message, this message of His love to the world.
Oh, Jesus, how tenderly I love You. You are alive in my very being. You are all that I live for and I want to carry this message out to the world for You have delivered this message with such love. You are so good. Fill our hearts with the fire of Your love and give us Your abundant grace that we will have the courage to carry this message to the ends of the earth. And there was darkness. I see the darkness in the night, but the light steals across the sky and the fire of His love spreads across this earth as His life lives in us and many are touched by the fire of His love.
Song: Spirit Song6. We are not like the world, we see this world and it is Godless. In many cases the world has turned away from God. It is at Fatima that Mary said that we must stop offending God. She has given to us the peace plan that we will have peace on this earth-it is in consecrating our hearts. She said until a sufficient number have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary we will not have peace in the world. She said we must pray the rosary, that we must observe the First Saturday devotion, that we must make reparation to Their Hearts. Why-why do we not do what Mary is asking us to do? It is so simple.
7. Mary appeared at Fatima in July, 1917 and she told the children, "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 war (World War I then raging) is going to end, but if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light (January 2, 1938) know that this is a great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father."1
8. He gives to us His life in the Eucharist. Who are we that the Almighty God gives to us, human persons, a sharing in His Divine Life. He is treated with such indifference and such neglect. If we knew, if we could see, the glories of the Almighty God, but we are so blind in our sight. We do not see and we do not hear. We must pray for the grace that we will see, that we will be the apostles that He is calling to carry this message out to the world.
9. He rose from the dead and He appeared to the apostles. We see Thomas-he did not believe. How are we this day? Do we believe? The Almighty God is truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the Holy Eucharist and He is outpouring His grace, His life to us. Do we believe? Do we believe that He is truly present and that He is giving Himself to us this day? He is here! He is truly present in the Eucharist and He is alive in our hearts!
10. He laments and laments how He is
treated as a dead object. He is ignored in the tabernacle.
The Almighty God is here. We spend all this money and go to
concerts, go to football games, all this time in recreation and the
Almighty God is ignored. Mary appeared in 1917 and said that we must
stop offending God. Look at our world. He has called us in the
Shepherds of Christ Movement and is giving to us abundant grace that
we will grow more and more in our relationship with Him and we will
be His leaders going into this world carrying the fire of His love
to the far corners of the earth.
He is alive. He says, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and
I am with you this day. Open your eyes and see. Open your hearts and
live for I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life."
Our Lord Ascends Into Heaven
1. Messenger: He took His apostles out to the place of His Ascension and He raised His arms and He ascended into heaven. Do we see the glories of these mysteries, that the Almighty God rose from the dead, that He ascended into heaven? We do not see the glory. We are so focused on the details in our lives. We see with such limited vision. The Almighty God is alive and He is here and He is calling us. Each one of us has been called to this farm, this day, for He knew you would answer this calling. He knew that in your heart you want the deepest love affair with Him, that you want to be one with Him. He has called you as His apostles to carry out His love to the world, to light up the darkness with His life alive within us.
2. We look out and we see the beauty of this day, with the sun in the sky and the light, and all the colors in the trees. We see the life in each blade of grass and in each leaf on the tree and tonight the darkness will cover this earth and although the trees and the leaves are still there, and this beautiful river, we will not be able to see with this clarity. The earth this day is covered with darkness for many souls have cut themselves off from the vine. They are withering and dying in their hearts. He is calling us and giving us abundant grace that we will be one in Him, that He will live in us, and as we live on this earth, He will touch others through us. This is a tremendous calling from the Almighty God-that we have been chosen and called and given this grace to be so close to Him.
3. Song: A Song From Jesus
4. Song: Little Child
5. Hail Mary...
6. Messenger: On Ascension
Thursday, 1995, I went through such an experience. First, Jesus took
me to the height of heaven and I experienced such ecstasy. I was at
church and later that day when I went home I was given great anguish
and suffering and He called out, "I am alive, I am alive, I am
alive!" and He said that He wanted Fr. Carter in the Shepherds of
Christ Movement to reach the souls on this earth with the fire of
His love. It was in such pain and suffering that I was buckled over
and hearing the Almighty God call out, "I am alive, I am alive, I am
alive". How do we treat Jesus? Do we treat Him as if He is alive? Do
we love Him with all our hearts, our whole souls and our whole
beings? Do you hear the laments of our beloved Savior, the Almighty
God, Who gave Himself and died on the cross? He is alive. He wants
this burning love affair with us. Many of the Masses, many of our
prayers, are said with lack of emotion in our hearts. He wants us to
love Him with the deepest burning love, not to go through the
motions. Every prayer is a love affair with our beloved Savior. The
rosary we sing-(The Rosary Song), and He wants us to say from our
hearts, the bottom of our hearts, "Jesus, we love You. Mary, we love
you. Oh, the Rosary, the Rosary, is the love of Their Two Hearts. Oh
the Rosary, the Rosary, is the love of Their Two Hearts."
In the September 10th rosary that we circulated to
you, Jesus laments how He does not receive a drop of heartfelt love
from many of His beloved religious that He has chosen and loves so
much. This is why He has called us in the Shepherds of Christ
Movement, to pray, to pray for His beloved religious. He loves them
so much and He wants, He wants this burning love from them, His
chosen ones. We are gathered here for this reason-to realize that
the Almighty God really is talking to us, that He has called us,
that this is an important mission, that we need to pray so fervently
for our priests and our religious, that this is His instrument, the
Shepherds of Christ Movement, to help in the renewal of the Church
and the world.
7. Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in your heart. Open your heart and let Me come inside of you. I want to touch My beloved souls this day. Will you say "yes" to this calling? Will you go to the ends of the earth and spread this movement? Will you pray, pray fervently for this intention: to lead the religious to the fires of love, found in My most Sacred Heart?
8. Song: Spirit Song
Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in your
hearts.
Messenger: Jesus no longer walks this earth, but He is alive
and He lives in us.
9. Song: Come Unto Me All Who Are
Weary...
Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I am the
Almighty God, all powerful. You see with such limited vision. You
must surrender and let go and let Me run your life. You are holding
on, My beloved ones. You must realize that I am all powerful, all
mighty, and that I am guarding you and I am with you in a special
way this day.
10. Carry My light into the darkness.
Messenger: And the light came across the dark sky and many
were touched with the fire of His love.
Because you answered this call, the call to be His apostle, to
pray for the priests, to help spread the consecration as our Lady
has asked us at Fatima. We will not have peace in the world until
our hearts are filled with love, and she says until a sufficient
number have consecrated their Hearts to the hearts of Jesus and
Mary, we will not have peace. This is the good news. As the Movement
spreads across this earth, as hearts are consecrated to the Hearts
of Jesus and Mary, we will have the peace that Our Lady has promised
at Fatima but we must do as she has told us to do. We must
consecrate our hearts and spread this to the world. We must pray the
rosary, observe the First Saturday devotion, and make reparation to
Their Hearts.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit Upon the Apostles
1. "When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves." (Acts 2: 1-4)
22. Jesus: I call you, I call you,
I call you, My beloved apostles. I call you to go out to the ends of
the earth and to preach My love. I am longing and thirsting for My
beloved souls to come to Me. Bring to Me the souls, the souls I
love. I am Jesus, do you hear this call? Will you bring to Me the
souls of My loved ones? Will you pray for the priests and the
religious, for it is through them that I will feed the hungry souls?
Messenger: Look at the priest, see the priest in the Mass,
the priest that consecrates the bread and wine into the Body and
Blood of Christ. He gives to us the Body and Blood of Christ. See
Jesus in the priest, giving us His Body. Each one of us goes to the
communion rail and God gives to us Himself. We are one in Him. Jesus
has told me how we sit in church, like stiffs, all separate, going
through the motions. This is not love! He wants heartfelt love in
our hearts, to realize that the Almighty God, in the greatest act of
love gave Himself as a Sacrifice on the cross and this Sacrifice is
sacramentally made present in every Mass. The Mass is a love affair
with God. The deepest union with Him is to give ourselves to Mary,
for we are sinners. She is the pure and sinless one. We give
ourselves to Mary and we go to Him in her pure and sinless Heart, to
the very depth of His Heart.
He is alive and we are the apostles that must carry this life
into the world in our hearts. He is operating through us. Will we
say "yes"? Do we see the world, do we see the suffering children, do
we see the babies that are murdered in the wombs of their mothers,
do we see what the children are being fed on television...but we
hold back our tongues about the love of God? When I began to receive
these messages, for six weeks before, constantly I heard, "Feed the
hungry, feed the hungry!" I prayed and I prayed and I prayed to know
His will. In September of 1991, He called out to me, for six weeks,
constantly, " Feed the hungry!" The world is starving for the love
of God! Let us feed the hungry with this love of God. Let us pray
for the priests for He gives us them.
3. We encounter Christ through the Sacraments. His life is outpoured in the Mass. Grace is outpoured in part according to the disposition of the person offering sacrifice. As we become one in Their Hearts, as the priest becomes one in Their Hearts, consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, an immense amount of grace is released on the earth. It is through this that many souls will know God, that many souls will be saved. We help in the act of redemption. We must spread this Movement to the far corners of the earth. It is as Mary said: we must consecrate our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This is the key-Mary’s Heart is the gateway to going to the deepest chamber of the Heart of Christ.
4. We see how Peter denied Christ. We
see how the apostles were afraid. We see Thomas did not believe. We
see them stumble and fall and run away, and then we see them, after
the Holy Spirit descended upon them. They went out into the world
and thousands were converted. They were filled with the fire of
God’s love. Let us, God, be filled with the fire of Your love.
Dear Holy Spirit, give us this fearlessness to go into this darkened
world and to carry the light, to carry the messages of Your burning
love to the souls that are starving and are longing to be fed.
5. Song: Lady of Fatima
Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in you.
Open your heart that I may touch so many of My beloved souls through
you. I am Jesus. Will you say "yes", My beloved apostles?
6. Messenger: Look into the eyes of the children that are suffering this day. Mary has sent us on a special mission to spread the rosaries and the consecration to the children in the schools. Do you see the children, the children in the schools today that are hard in their hearts, the children that are suffering, that do not know the love of God? Mary is giving us special help to spread these rosaries in the schools. She wants this all over the United States. For nine months Mary asked me to spread the rosary and the consecration to the children. We are the apostles that He is sending into the world this day. This is what Mary and Jesus are asking us to do. It is so little-to spread these rosaries and consecrations to the schools, but Mary said at Fatima we will not have peace in the world until we do what she has told us to do. The Shepherds of Christ Movement is a great part of the completion of the Fatima message. These rosaries are a big part of the completion of the Fatima message. We must carry these rosaries to our children in the schools.
7. Satan presses down on us and tries to stop us. The pressure that has gone on just to have this today is unbelievable, how Satan can try to stop this. Look at the Fatima message, how it has been blocked. Why, why, why are not we paying attention to this Fatima message that Mary gave in 1917? It is the devil that has blocked this message. This is a major part of the completion of the Fatima message so we will be met with such resistance. Jesus, Jesus wants us to bring Him souls. So many souls would be saved through the First Saturday devotion. Why, why do we not talk about the Fatima message like we should-about praying the rosary and consecrating our hearts, and the First Saturday devotion, and making reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary? It is so simple but the devil has blocked this. If we want peace we should do what Mary has told us for she is the Queen of Peace and the peace of the world has been entrusted to her. We are the apostles. We are being sent into the world to carry this message.

The Assumption of Our Lady Into Heaven
1. Messenger: We see Mary taken body and soul into heaven. We live here, we struggle every day with so many struggles. We are so focused on the daily events. We do not realize that soon we too will go to heaven, if we love and serve the Lord, if we love and serve God. The world has turned Godless to a large degree. Mary appeared to me every day, except for a few days, for fourteen months and begged and pleaded that we spread the love of her Son to this world, that we spread these rosaries to the world, that we go to the children with the rosaries and the consecrations. It is so hard to see our heavenly Mother and to know what she is saying and to not do more. Jesus and Mary have called you here this day. You have been chosen by them. This is the message that they wish to deliver to you, that many souls are suffering and going to hell. Over and over again I heard our Lady call out, "Please, please the souls are dropping into hell like rain. You must go out to the world and spread the love of my Son."
2. On October 13th, Mary said, "I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord anymore for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the rosary. Let them continue saying it every day."
3 This is a great gift that God has given to us-rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. For in the rosary this week Jesus said that the times ahead will be very dark and unless we discipline our minds by praying the rosary all through the day, it will be very hard for us when these dark days come. Mary is our heavenly Mother. She was taken into heaven but she is very much with us. She has told us what we must do. We must pray the rosary. She is our heavenly Mother. As a mother that tells a child what to eat and how to dress, Mary is telling us this: that we must try to pray l5 decades of the rosary every day for the times ahead will be dark and we need to have disciplined thoughts. In praying the rosary, our thoughts become disciplined. We are meditating on the lives of Jesus and Mary.3. Hail Mary...
4. I saw a documentary on Fatima and in this documentary, Mary appeared to the three children and then they showed the events of World War II. The bodies were being thrown on a heap. And it just about tore my insides apart because I identified so much with watching Mary appear and then nobody listened or not a lot of people listened and World War II happened and so many people were killed. John brought a statue and asked me to read this, "One day during World War II, a group of soldiers wandered into a small French village which had been badly bombed. They stood in the village square and looked at the desolation around them. Nearly everything seemed battered and broken. Suddenly, one of the soldiers noticed something interesting close by on the ground. It looked like a statue. There were cracks and chips in it and several pieces were missing. It was badly damaged. A few of the soldiers stood it up right. Immediately they knew that it was a statue of Jesus. The men began to look for the missing parts. They put them together as best as they could and then they set the statue on a pedestal that was still standing, but the hands were missing. The men looked very carefully for the hands, but they were nowhere to be found. When the men were about to give up, one of them said he knew exactly what to do. He made a rough sign and hung it over the arms of the statue. The sign read, ‘I have no hands but yours.’"
5. Jesus gave me a message that we are His hands and we are His Heart beating in this world. We must truly be real lovers, lovers living in this world loving one another, one with each other. It is in going to the pure Heart of Mary, that we will unite in this deep love affair with Jesus.
6. Jesus: You are My hands. You
are My Heart beating in this world. My beloved apostles, will you
say "yes"? Will you go into the world? Will you carry My light in
the darkness? Will you tell the children who are suffering how I
love them? Will you go to the nursing homes and tell the elderly how
I am longing to be with them, to talk to them, to hear the words
from their lips that they love Me? You are My apostles of love.
Messenger: This is the anniversary of the sixth apparition at
Fatima. Mary appeared every day for fourteen months to me and
delivered these rosaries. That is all she kept saying: that we must
lead others to the love of her Son, Jesus. The message is so simple.
It is love God and love one another. All the fanciness and the
frills! Why can we not live this message which is the message of
love God and love each other.
7. We are so focused on the things of this earth and our heavenly Mother has appeared so many times and told us what we must do-she made it so clear at Fatima. Do we think our Blessed Mother will change, that she will change her peace plan? We must, we must carry this message into the world. We must do what Jesus and Mary are asking us to do.
8. Hail Mary...

The Coronation of Our Lady
1. Mary: I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. I am asking you this day to carry these rosaries into this world. It is through the rosary that you will have peace in your hearts. My little children, you must learn to discipline your thoughts. You must come to Our Hearts and meditate on Our lives. Our lives will live in your lives as you meditate on the mysteries of the rosary.
2. There is a time, a time of struggle. There is a time of joy. There is a time when the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign. The time for these things is near at hand. My little children, I have called you on this October 13th, 1996. I have called you to go into this world and to carry the rosary as your weapon against Satan. It is through the rosary and the scapular that I will save this world. I am Mary, your Mother. I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.
3. Messenger: We see the angel appear to Mary and ask her to be the Mother of God. This is the Father’s plan-that Mary would be the Mother of God, and we see Mary as crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. Do we see the plan of the Father unfold in our lives? That our lives are so important to help in the salvation of many? That He is truly calling us to be apostles to carry His love, His light, into the dark world?
4. Jesus: I am with you in a special way, My beloved apostles. I am calling you this day. This is an urgent call. You must go into the world and carry My messages of love to the souls that are hungry and suffering and in pain.
5. Think vividly of the moment of death. There is a soul at this moment on the edge of death. How did they live their life? Think of the world today. Is the world living according to the way that God has told us that we must live? He told us that we must love God and love one another. There is a soul at this moment on the edge of death. Where will this soul go? Did the soul love God? Did it matter about his clothes and his house and all his riches? I heard Mary, Our Mother, call out time and time and time again about the souls that were going into hell. It is like the Fatima documentary-she called and people did not heed what she said and there was World War II. Mary does not appear as she once appeared and she has ceased giving messages as she once did. She still gives messages but they are not as many. She says that we are not listening to the messages that she has given and that she cannot hold back the hand of her Son any longer.
6. This is the good news: if we do what Mary tells us at Fatima, we will have peace. There will be the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of her Immaculate Heart in which souls will fervently love Jesus with the greatest love. Her plan is so simple but Satan has blocked this plan. Satan has blocked these rosary messages and meditations. We must pray that we can circulate the messages of Jesus and Mary to the world that is hungry and in need of help.
7. One day soon we will be with God in heaven, forever and ever.
8. Wrapped in the embrace of the
Almighty God for all eternity. Heaven is a place of love for the
Almighty God is love. We will be satisfied. We will know love. We
will be at peace.
But, hell is a place where there is no love, there is no
community, there is isolation, there is longing for God for all
eternity.
He is alive, He is alive and He is with us this day. You must
spread this message to the ends of the earth.
9. Mary: My little children, I
call you children because you are My children, willful in your ways.
I have called to you to pray my rosary and to spread the rosary to
the hurting children in this world. I am asking you on this special
day that you carry the rosary to as many souls as possible. I will
aid you in all efforts to spread the rosaries to the world. Read
these meditations to the elderly in the Nursing Homes, teach them
about the power of the rosary, bring the rosary to the children,
tell them about our lives, about our love for them.
I am Mary, your Mother, I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.
10. Song: The Rosary
Ending Message:
Jesus:
How tenderly I love you, My beloved ones. I am Jesus. I
have called you this day for this special meeting. I have called
you, My apostles. Will you go into the darkness? Will you spread the
message of My love? Will you carry the rosary into the world? Will
you touch the hearts of those that are hurting and in pain? Will you
be My apostles of love? I am calling you to love God and to love one
another, to be one in your hearts, to put aside all hatred and
bitterness within your hearts, to not give into the tauntings of
Satan to divide you, to always operate in love, to focus on God. Let
your hearts be filled with love.
Glory be...
"My dear friends, let us love each other, since love is from God
and everyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever
fails to love does not know God, because God is love." (1 John 4:
7-8)
