Messenger: I
took my burden to the bottom of the
cross and He said to me in His beautiful
voice
Jesus speaks: "My child I gave My life for the souls,
So many try to dump their problems on
others.
All of the Shepherds of Christ main
leaders need to write to Me every day.
I operate in structure.
I have all the Power.
I give you the Church.
I give you the Sacraments.
I outpour My grace to you.
Do not be afraid, do not be troubled
I have all the Power.
Write to Me ten minutes every day
don't cut it short.
Read Blue Book III for ten minutes.
Fr. Carter told you Blue Book III was his favorite.
Fr. Carter told you the Blue Books were as
much his as yours."
May 17, 2003 message continues
Messenger: Oh Jesus I want us
to be a family of love,
to be united in love.
Jesus speaks: "Oh My child
people must pray for grace
all through the day to be as I want
them to be. They must pray all through
the day to receive a grace to help them
give up their imperfections.
A person that won't let go will not be
able to give up their imperfections.
They get set in their ways, they have
invisible walls around them
they don't let others get close - so they
can't act in oneness and they keep
Me away to a certain distance with
their stubborn controlling attitude."
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.
May 17, 2003 message continues
Jesus speaks: Open Blue
Book III and put the message
here. Pray to the Holy Spirit
first to guide you.
Oh My child I love you so much.
I have called each of you by name in
the Shepherds of Christ and given
you such a big mission.
But satan will always try to tempt you
to do your own will. Give you
fantasies of greater grandeur. My Florida
site is so scantily populated and my
real leaders are scarce. The world does
not preach this unity. Some may come
with one foot in and one foot out
ready to run.
I have given all My Shepherds a
great sign in the image. You want
to be in control. My mission is
very directed and if you say no and
get other "good ideas" the troops
will get smaller and who will do
this work.
Only committed people living
by the Blue Book Messages and Daily
Messages, daily, can be leaders,
apostles, servants and handmaids
in the Shepherds of Christ.
Fr. Carter died and My main messenger,
My beloved Rita, is the messenger for
the Shepherds of Christ. If jealousy is present you
will miss the gifts I am giving to you
and the fact I have called you to
such a high commission in helping
to renew the Church and the world
and spread the Fatima Mission.
There is a Catholic priest daily
guiding the Shepherds of Christ Movement and
discerning these messages and other
priests help as needed. Fr. Carter saw to
this before his death.
March 22, 1994 was the collapse of
the corner of the old seminary, Lucia's
birthday.
May 17, 2003 message continues
Jesus speaks:
March 22, 1997 was an important
radio show. Lucia's birthday.
Today is May 17, 2003. I tell you
now to open the 3rd Blue Book.
Messenger: I opened to this message.
April 3, 1994 Easter Sunday
I Love You You Love Your Brothers
This was the day after Fr. Carter's message
April 2, 1994 Easter Saturday night
when he said Jesus told him he would
get public messages for the world.
It began Fr. Carter's messages which soon led
to the Shepherds of Christ Movement and the priestly Newsletter.
Here is the Message I opened up to
April 3, 1994 Easter Sunday
I
Love You You Love Your Brothers
I Love You-You Love Your Brothers
April 3, 1994 Easter Sunday
My child, calm yourself. Live only for love of Me. Live for Me and Me alone. You love Me and I love you. Your love for others will flow from your love for Me. I sustain you. I give you everything you need. Your life is but a breath here. Do not ever focus on it. Remain selfless. Rid yourself constantly of self and operate only to know, love and serve Me.
I am Jesus, the Son of God. Oh, little one, such love I have for you. Do you even know? This is not a myth. This is real. I am real. The unseen world is real. It is your faith that will sustain you. I am Jesus, the Son of God, Rita. God is talking to you. You have a job to do for all My beloved ones. I love them so. I want you to tell them of My deep and ardent love. Surrender yourself into the arms of Him Who sustains you. I catch you. I cuddle you and you, child are not suspended in mid-air. You are held tight by the hands of God. I showed you the way, child. I let go on the cross. Life comes only in this surrendering. I let go, I died that I might rise again on Easter! You die to yourself that you will live in My love. You will rise victorious in the love of Jesus. Oh, child, I am so real and I love you. What can I do to tell you how I do love you!
Live in My love. Do not judge. Do not spend idle time making yourself better than your brother. Think only of Me and how I love you. You have your job: (1) to love Me with all your heart and (2) to love your brother as yourself. Do not look on your brother with anything but love. How freeing! Love finds a way! Where hate keep you tied to yourselves, loving one and all frees you. Love Me. Love your brothers. They are responsible for their lives. You are responsible for your life.
Your job is to love. I call you, My little ones, to love of Me and love of one another. You will answer according to how you loved. You will not be judged on the amount of money you made, on your worldly possessions, on your clean rugs, on your affairs in order. You will answer for how you loved Me and loved your fellow men. You cannot love and remain selfish. Love gives to the other, love is rendering, love in no way demands itself.
The world tells you to think of yourself, give yourself pleasure, marry for your self-fulfillment, look out for yourself. The world is focused on self. I tell you that you will be judged on how you loved. Love gives of self. Love is rendering. Love does not demand its way. Love gives to the other. How can marriage work when people are living for themselves. You cannot love and be selfish at the same time. Love does not demand its own way. Love does not seek itself. Love is as I showed you when I died on the cross. I gave My all for love of you, in total surrender.
I call you, little ones, to this love. You say, "Oh, is this what you demand?" I say, "Unless you die to yourself, you will not have My life within you." Love never demands its own way. I call you to love of God, love of one another! I showed you the way. I give you all you need to follow My way. You must give Me your life. When you become selfless, you are filled by the love and life of Christ.
The life I give is a power so mighty it cannot be contained. It is emitted from your being. You love and live in Me in your being when you strip yourself of yourself.
I ask you now to surrender your thoughts, thoughts that constantly go on in your head to make you better than your brothers! Focus on Me and how I love you. Focus on how I am truly alive this day and in your midst and I want to dwell in you in love. Focus on Me. Rid yourself of yourself. Look at every person with love. Do not look with any competition or making yourself better than them. You have your job to do, they have theirs. You are all uniquely created.
Each person is perfect and loved dearly by Me. I love your brothers with My Sacred Heart. Love them as I do. I love you in all your weaknesses, in all your flaws. I love you dearly. I do not count your sins. I love you with an ardent love. I love your brothers. I, God, love all your brothers the way I love you.
Who are you to look on your brother with thoughts of "he is wrong, I am right"? You are loved so immensely by Me and My Father and the Holy Spirit and the Blessed Lady. You are surrounded by this love! You need not the approval or love of your brother. You need to give love to them! You can do this when you come and sit with Me in front of the tabernacle and after communion. You can do this when you surrender yourselves and live only for love of Me and love of them.
You are learning, child. Loving one another is freeing. You are not attached. You are free. You are not attached to your brother and how he responds to you. You love only from the love of God. You are attached to My love and My love never flickers or goes away. My love is always there. I am madly in love with you. Forgive your brother when he is cruel. Love him as I do. Come to Me for your love. I have all you need. Oh, child, you are being taught mighty lessons. The ways of God are so simple, but they are the only way. When you free yourself of your attachments to how others treat you, you will know such mental freedom.
You preach My lessons of love in how you model yourself after Me. Love the unloving and preach the message of love. You are My heart in the cold world. I am your lover. You can love because I have loved you first. I love you with a Heart on fire! Come and let Me give you this love this very day! You will love your brothers if you focus on Me. My way is the only way. My way is love!

Jesus speaks: Now Pray the 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.

Written from the hand of a child
Cling to Me
May 13, 1993
Jesus speaks: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.
You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.
When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power.
I am He Who comforts you. My hand is upon you. Hold tight to Me, My child. My eyes are fixed right on you. You are My most precious child. I love you as no other can. My arms are about you. My tenderness surrounds you. My love is in your heart. You go not alone. I walk with you.
I share every aspect of your life with you. Cling to Me, feel My presence. It is warm and secure within your chest. There is no room for fear, for I cast out fear and bring you comfort and joy.

ROSARY MEDITATIONS
The Glorious Mysteries
June 14, 1995
Note: This rosary was prayed in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, Norwood, Ohio.
The Resurrection of Jesus
- Song: This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad. This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad.
- Jesus: Let go and surrender. Come to Me. I rose on the third day. So, too, you shall rise from all your difficulties and trials. I am Jesus Christ, Son of God. I am present to you, My beloved ones, and I speak to you through this rosary.
- Jesus: Tied to the pillar! Bound to the cross! Are you bound to the difficulties of this life? Let go! Come to Me! Let Me saturate you with My life and you will be raised to such heights as you are lifted high through My life, through My grace. Let go! Surrender and trust! I am the Almighty God. I am within you. Your every thought, your every action you do with Me, My beloved ones, joined in union with Me so that your every thought is a thought you share with the Almighty God. Do not fear, do not fret. I was victorious and rose from the dead and you, too, if you are joined in union with Me, shall rise victorious from your struggles.
- Jesus: Satan presses down on each one. Each soul he wants to devour, to torment. I am the Almighty God. It is through the Holy Spirit that you are lifted high. Let Me fill your hearts, My beloved ones. Let the Holy Spirit infiltrate your being and you, too, will be raised to such heights, for the Almighty God is a power that cannot be contained. You will feel a releasing of this vibrancy within your being and you will know life as you have never known life before. I am Jesus and I fill you with My life within your very being.
- Jesus: You will experience freedom, for to know Me is to be free of fear. If you realized that the Almighty God lives within you and performs each and every action with you, you are freed from fear.
- Jesus: Great insights into My mysteries I give to you. Many live but are dead in spirit. I impart to you the gifts of the Spirit, the vibrancy of His life radiating within you, filling you and carrying you on your way. You will radiate to all those with whom you come in contact for I am the Almighty God and I live within you and I operate through you to those you touch. Let go! Surrender! Let go of anything that holds you bound. Do not be held bound to your thoughts. Focus on Me.
- Jesus: Do you feel My life as it fills your soul, My dear ones? Let go! Experience My life within. You share in My divine life. Your human nature is elevated to higher levels as you partake more fully in My life. I am the Almighty God, a force too mighty to be contained, and I speak to you and give you My abundant grace. Open wide and absorb all that I am giving you. Do not fret or fear for I am God!
- Jesus: My plan will unfold at this Center despite all those involved and how they resist and are willful in their ways. It is not up to them to operate this plan. This is the plan of the Father. Only in compliance with His Will will His plan work smoothly. It is their own willfulness that is causing this confusion and doubt. I cry out to you to come to Me and be filled with My life for you will be a pillar of strength. As others fumble about you, you will be steadfast in My love and My strength. I am the Almighty God. You I have chosen to hear these words. You are being guarded. Release yourself. Comply with the Will of the Father. The plan will unfold and you are a big part of this plan.
- Jesus: Come unto Me, you who are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Release yourselves. The anxiety that you feel within is quieted and you rest quietly and securely in the arms of the Almighty God.
- Song: New life! New life! You came to bring us new life!
Song between decades: Come, Holy Spirit, fill our hearts. Enkindle in us the fire of Your love. Come, Holy Spirit, fill our hearts. Enkindle in us, the fire of Your love.The Ascension
- Jesus: I am the Bread of Life. I give you My life. You are filled, My dear ones, with the life of the Almighty God. Come to Me in the Eucharist for I give you Myself. You will be with all mankind when you unite with Me in the Eucharist. It is through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that men will be united in this world. Pray always in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and feel this union in your spirit with all in the world. To unite with Me is to unite with one another. You cannot be one in Me and be at odds with your brother. To be one in Me is to be in union with all others.
- R. He ascended into heaven! If we envision this sight, the Almighty God going into the sky, we can realize a little of His might.
- R. We see with limited vision. We do not see as we should see. Only through the Holy Spirit, when He opens up our eyes and our ears and our hearts and imparts to us His gifts, will we see more clearly.
Jesus: I give to you, My dear, sweet ones, such insights into the problems in this world. Come to Me and I will fill you with My life and you will understand and comprehend mysteries that others do not see. I am the Almighty God. It is through Me that you will understand more fully this divine plan as it unfolds right before your eyes, for it is My might living in you that will help this plan to unfold as it should. You must come to Me and unite closely. I will operate through you and work in you and minister to all those you touch. I am Jesus, the Almighty God, one, true, magnificent! I am God!- Jesus: Come unto Me, all who are weary, and you will be lifted to heights you would not dream possible. I apply My grace and you feel the freedom, the freedom of flying. I give to you, My beloved ones, My life within you. You are powered to such heights. Let go of those things that keep you bolted to the ground. Let go of all! Surrender and let Me run your life. Have no judgments toward any man. See him as a creation of the Father, uniquely created with specialness and dignity. Love all. Look at each person in that person's uniqueness. Look at each person with eyes to see the beauty with which the Father created him or her. Even when a soul is in apparent wretchedness, the beauty of the Almighty Creator shines through each soul. It is not up to you to judge, but to love. I give to you this commandment: love God and love one another. In all things love and live according to the Father's Will. It is this by which you will be judged: how you complied with His Will, how you loved one another, all acts performed in greatest love. I am the Almighty God and I give to you this commandment: love God and love your neighbor as yourself.
- Jesus: In the Eucharist, My dear ones, I give you Myself! Do you see that the Almighty God comes to you, inside of you, with such great love? Why do you worry what others say and think? You must love them. Many are hurting this day. Have you loved? Will you love for Me? Will you unite with Me and become one in Me and let Me love from your being? I call you to love. Love, love, love! Always love! Do not let Satan talk in your heads, My dear ones. Do not listen to words that cause division with any man. Come to Me and I will fill you with My divine love.
- Jesus: I will be with you forever and ever and ever. What have you to fear? Your job is to stay focused on Me, to remain in Me and with Me, to live as one in Me. My dear ones, do not be caught up in Satan's crafts, for he is the great deceiver. I give you this commandment: love God and love one another.
- Jesus: I want this rosary to be in the third Blue Book.
- Jesus: I give you, My dear ones, twenty-four hours in each day. Do you have time, time for the Almighty God Who remains on earth with you, no less present than the day that I walked on this earth? Are you too busy for God when I command you to love Me with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being? Do you, in your willfulness, go about your way and say, "I am too busy. I will give to you, God, as I feel I can?" I tell you, you are to love God with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being and give to Him first. Then all else will work. Man has made other things his gods. I am the Almighty God! There is one God! It is only in living according to the Father's Will that you will have peace and joy in your hearts. Let go, surrender, and you will be raised to such heights in My love.
- Jesus: I fill your souls with My life when you come to Me in the Eucharist and sit in front of the tabernacle. You are raised and elevated to wondrous heights in this life. As the hot air balloon is lifted high above the houses, you, too, will be lifted above the confusion, the deception and the anger that is now pressing down on this earth. It is only in your total surrender that you will receive this freedom.
Song: Come unto Me, all who are weary, and find rest for your soul. Come unto Me, all who are burdened. I will comfort you.- Jesus: I give to you this mission to carry out My love to this world. I ascended into Heaven. I left My apostles behind. I give to you this mission to go out to the world and, in your being, in your speech, in your lives, to relive My life, death and resurrection. I came, I showed you the way. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, My dear ones. It is in following My Will that you will have peace, joy and love in your hearts.
Song: I give you a new commandment, love one another as I have loved you.
Song between decades: Come, Holy Spirit, fill our hearts…The Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles and Mary
- Jesus: I give to you the fire of My love, this burning Heart filled with My love for the souls for whom I gave My life. The Father so loved this world that He sent His only begotten Son into this world that men would be saved. I am Jesus and I speak to you in this rosary and all the rosaries that I have given to you at this Center. My Heart is on fire and burning for the love of My souls in this world this day. I beg you to spread this message to a world that is suffering and in pain. I give to you this day My love on fire for all souls.
- R. Before Jesus ascended into heaven, He said that John had baptized with water, but that not many days from now He would send the Spirit to baptize them. He ascended into heaven and He left the apostles behind to carry out His work. Peter He made head of the Church. Peter, who denied Him, was made head of His Church! Now the apostles and the Blessed Virgin gathered in the Upper Room, praying and awaiting the promised Holy Spirit.
- R. There occurred a roar like an enormous wind and there appeared over their heads parted tongues of fire. The Holy Spirit descended upon them and they were filled with the Holy Spirit. They went out to preach the Gospel.
- R. Their hearts were transformed from fear to fearlessness for they knew that the Almighty God was alive, alive in their hearts, alive in the Eucharist! Jesus ascended into heaven but He gave us the great gift of the Holy Eucharist, where He remains in His divinity and His humanity. He sent the Holy Spirit upon the apostles, and they went into the world and preached the Gospel, healing the sick. They were not afraid.
- R. They traveled from town to town preaching the Good News. Many were converted.
- Song: I come to you with greatest love, I am your loving Savior. I am your God, I died for you. I come to you this day.
R. He gives to us His life in baptism and He feeds this life this day with His very flesh and blood and He nurtures us with His Word.- John 6: 51-58 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.
- Song: Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest, and in our hearts take up Thy rest. Come with Thy grace and heavenly aid, to fill the hearts which Thou hast made, to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
- R. He gives to us His life and we are filled with this vibrancy and force within us. His love is an active force. It is not inactive, dry or sterile. His life, saturating our being, is a force too mighty to be contained. His love will radiate from our whole being as we partake in this Sacrifice.
- R. Let us offer ourselves in the Mass united to Jesus Christ, to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with Mary our Mother at our side, and with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory.
Song between decades: Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow. Praise Him, all creatures here below. Praise Him above ye Heavenly Hosts. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.The Assumption of Mary Into Heaven
- R. Mary is taken, body and soul, into heaven. Mary, our model! These rosaries are the lives of Jesus and Mary. It is in meditating on these rosaries that we will know more of the mysteries of their lives.
- From Tell My People -- The Holy Spirit
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"
- R. Oneness in our being with the Almighty God! Let our goal be to become saints of God. Let us strive for highest holiness but realize our imperfections, not dwell on these but strive ever harder to be more perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect.
- R. O blessed and beautiful Virgin Mary, Heart most tender and pure, I see surrounding you the celestial light adorned with a pink hue. You, my beloved Mother, mother each one of us so that we may be more and more like your most precious Son, Jesus Christ.
- R. It is Mary who places us in the innermost sanctuary of the Heart of Jesus.
- R. O Virgin Mary, adorned in a pinkish celestial light, surround us with the light of the Almighty God. Dear Jesus, penetrate our souls with Your light so that we may feel this light radiating from our being and raising us to such heights, that we may realize the great gifts that we are given on this earth, that we may realize that these are not gifts primarily focused on this world, that we may realize that the gifts to be treasured most dearly are the gifts pertaining to the Almighty God.
- R. As Jesus ascended into heaven to prepare a place for us He left behind the Virgin Mary. She remains with us this day as our spiritual Mother, mothering us and leading us on our journey to our true home in heaven.
- R. Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, transform our hearts and fill us with the fire of God's love. Work in the Heart of Your spouse, the Virgin Mary, that we may be more like Jesus and ever closer to the Father.
- R. How perfectly Mary dwells in the Heart of her Son!
- R. She spreads her protective mantle over her dear children and they are filled with her motherly love.
Mother of Christ, Mother of the Church, Mother of divine grace, Mother most pure, Mother most chaste, Mother inviolate, Mother undefiled, Mother most amiable, Mother most admirable, Mother of good counsel, Mother of our Creator, Mother of our Savior.
Mother us and lead us closer to our eternal life through your Son, Jesus, our beloved Savior.
Song between decades: Ave, ave, ave, Maria. Ave, ave, ave, Maria.Mary Is Crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth
- R. See our hearts adorned with white eyelet ribbon, tied and secured, placed entirely within the Heart of the Virgin Mary. See her Heart resting and dwelling in the Heart of her Son. Such security to feel our hearts closed with ribbon and resting in her Heart, and hers in His.
- R. The gift we give is the gift of our hearts, adorned with this beautiful ribbon and consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This is the package of our love. We give to you, wholly and completely, our hearts to dwell within your Heart and the Heart of your Son.
- R. We consecrate ourselves, our whole beings, to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
- and the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!
"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."
- Sing: Hail Holy Queen
- Song: Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, what God has ready for those who love Him. Spirit of love, come give us the mind of Jesus. Teach us the wisdom of God.
Jesus: I give you a new commandment: love one another as I have loved you.- R. The heavens are opened and man goes to his final destination, all of the tears and worries of this earth left behind.
Jesus: My dear ones, open wide your hearts and let Me penetrate deeply. Let Me fill you with My love and you will know that I want to dwell deeply in you.- Jesus: I give you the beautiful trees, the birds of the air. I give you far greater gifts, My dear ones. Many look at this world with dark colored glasses. I give you My life! Open up your eyes and pray for vision to see those gifts I am giving to you this day. Let your hearts be filled with joy, for I live! I live in this world this day! I never abandon you! Father, Son and Holy Spirit live within your heart when you are in the state of grace. What have you to fear when the Almighty God dwells within you. Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia. Their eyes were opened and their tongues were loosed and they proceeded throughout their lives, forever declaring the works of the Lord. Alleluia.
- Jesus: I give to you the gift of your tongue, the tongue upon which you receive the Almighty God. My dear ones, use your tongue to sing the praise of the Almighty God Who comes and is received on this tongue. If I come to you on your tongue, how can you with your tongue, sin? My dear ones, guard your tongue as the entryway to your soul. As a man is in his heart, so shall he be to this world. I give you a new commandment: love God with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being, and love your neighbor as yourself. Do not speak harshly against your brother. Do not talk about your brothers for they were created by My Father and redeemed by My Blood. They are precious to Me. Who are you that you can judge these little ones? Judging is not up to you. Loving is what you are commanded to do.
- Jesus: I am the Sacred Heart, on fire for love of men. I came to this earth, suffered, died and rose on the third day to bring you life. The kingdom of God is at hand, My dear ones. Guard your tongue. May your hearts be ever pure. May your hearts be filled with love. May you silence Satan in your heads for he aims to trip you and rob you of your joy. Satan wants to take the life from within you. Let go, surrender and trust for you are guarded far more than the finest pearls. You are watched and protected by the Almighty God Who lives in this world this day.
Song: Come unto Me, all who are weary, and find rest in your soul. Come unto Me, all who are burdened. I will comfort thee.
Jesus: Love one another as I have loved you.
Song after the last decade: Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above ye Heavenly Hosts. Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.
Message given May 16, 2003 for May 17, 2003
Jesus speaks: Pray to the Holy Spirit.
My sweet beloved ones,
Pray the prayer of the Father in
yesterday's message often.
Your life must be given to Me.
I should be the King and Center of
your hearts.
Act lovingly - in all things do
God's will with love.
I want the following messages on
today.
We Share Union with God
May 4, 1994
R. We stand strong if we love God because we can be united when we do love Him. I have a bond with you and I love you intimately in a way that I do not love another because we share this union with God.
It is in God and only in Him that we are made one. He loves us. He gave His life for love of us. He shows us the way to love. When two people love in Him there is not division but they are closer because they are both open.
It is in loving together that we are united. I can love you even if you don't love God, but we do not have as great a bond because we are not both open to His love.
To be strong and stand against attack, we must truly love at the Center. This is the Center where God's love will reign and be our strength. We must put aside any differences with our brothers and try to settle them only in love and praying for wisdom, understanding, and counsel from the Holy Spirit to know what God wants us to know. We need God to be our loving Father, Jesus to be our loving Spouse, the Holy Spirit to love and give us His gifts, and Mary to be our most loving mother, to mother us as she mothered Jesus. What warmth in our soul! This will light the darkened night because we are filled with the love of God and we can give love.
Bathe us in Your love, God. Blessed Lady, be by our side. We are but little ones in need of direction and love. Treat us tenderly and help us to be ever grateful for all you give us. Amen.

You Are Surrounded by Angels
Excerpt from May 25, 1994 After Communion at All Saints Church 7:10a.m.
Jesus: Open your hearts. Pray for the gifts of the Holy Spirit to know these truths. You need God, My little ones. You need the one, triune God, Father Son, Holy Spirit! Pray to Us, ask your mother to guide you, to help you to love Me as she loves Me. She loves God with the purest Heart. Love Jesus through Mary's sinless Heart. Love God through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
R. How can I, such a sinner, love God? But, to be joined to Mary's Heart, I can love with her sinless Heart. She loves God and her Heart is immaculate. I want a holy heart. I must join with Mary's Heart. It is all pure!
I have a sinful heart. How do I love God as He should be loved? Go through Mary's pure Heart!
We do not even know how we offend the Lord. He is as He is. He is the Almighty God. He deserves such reverence and honor and praise. The world has turned godless. He is the one, true God. The problem is with the world.
Jesus: I am the Almighty God. I ardently love you. My greatest gift to you is Myself. I give you Myself in the Eucharist. This is far greater than any supernatural symbol. I am Jesus Christ, the risen Lord, and I come to you in the Blessed Sacrament. The power is in the Eucharist. I am truly present there. I am God and I am in your midst. I am treated with such unimportance. You don't even know how you offend Me. You are judging My importance by this godless society. The world is being dominated by Satan. Come to Me in the Eucharist. The power is in the Eucharist!
You see the sun spin and you cry, "Oh, God, God." He is in the Eucharist, the risen Lord. "Oh, God, My God." Think of your joy to behold something supernatural. You fall to your knees in awe. God is here!
R. So much power in the Eucharist. I couldn't touch it, it is under the veil.
(I asked Jesus to come to me through the sinless Heart of Mary. I felt the Father above, the Holy Spirit, in union with Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary.)
Mary speaks:
You, my child, are being taught. You grow in your relationship with God. My way is to lead you to my Son. You will continue to grow in your closeness with God. Your life is your journey to be united with Him more and more. Do not feel anxious for not knowing all at once. You grow each minute of each day in your knowledge and love of God. Do not be anxious about your growth. Be open to what He sends you this moment. Place your heart in His hands and be united to Him. Let go.
Praise God and be at peace. Your heart will grow when you are at peace. You are learning the truths about God. You are growing each day in your love of Him. I am your mother. Thank you for responding to my call.

I Give You All You Need
Excerpt from April 13, 1994
Jesus: You wander, you wane in and out, and I am truly here. You get full of self, you think you need to find a way for yourself. You need to remain rooted in love and give of yourself. I will care for your needs. You do not have to fight a beaten path for what is important. I yield to you exactly what you need in all My gentleness and love! You only need to stay fixed in Me and trust in Me for all things. Anger is a force that tells you you need to take control. You need to have your way. I tell you to remain selfless, to surrender, to let go. Holding on is draining. "I will keep track of this little thing I have with you and that thing with you." Such a waste of your energy and your valuable time when I could have loved! You choose selfishness, caring for yourself. When does it end? Do you get enough to feed the starved self? Only the love of God feeds your hungry soul!
Only love of God, love of your neighbor, gives you peace. Do you want peace or power? Do you ever have enough power? Do you want to promote yourself or be free? You are already so very special. You were created by God and you are so perfect, so beautiful, so precious. You are the only soul like you and I love you dearly as you are. You are My prized loved one. Oh, how I love you! You are the perfect creation of My Father, My little, beloved one. I love you so. The Father loves you, the Holy Spirit loves you, the Blessed Mother loves you. You are My precious one. You are perfect and I love you as you are. I loved you to My death.
Do not let your heart be busy feeling bowed down and anxious. Come to Me and be filled by My ardent love. I love you intensely at this moment. I am Jesus, the Son of God. You are My beloved ones. To My death I loved each one of you. Do not be angered at your brother. Love him as I love you. Light up the darkness with the love of God in your heart.
I am Jesus and I love you.

Deuteronomy 24: 5
If a man is newly married, he must not join the army, nor must he be pestered at home; he must be left at home, free of all obligations for one year, to make his new wife happy.
May 17, 2003 message continues
Jesus speaks: I call you to
love Me.
I call you to spend time with Me.
I want all servants, handmaids and
apostles to take the time and
write Me an intimate letter for
10 minutes ----
then read Blue Book III for 10 minutes.
This is important - that you do this
every day, that you pray your
prayers, that you act lovingly
to one another.
Matthew 5: 48
Do not even the gentiles do as much? You must therefore be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect.

First Saturday
Title: My Gift is My Heart: A Tool for Greater Intimacy with JesusJesus: My Dear Beloved Ones,
I am asking you for greater intimacy with Me in order to accomplish this task. I am asking you daily in the hour that you spend with Me, preferably before the tabernacle, or in your room, in this intimate hour, that you write to Me a love letter. For 10 minutes of the hour, I am asking you to answer the question--how do I feel in my heart about My beloved Jesus? In this love letter you will talk to Me as your most intimate friend. You will share with Me the sores you feel in your heart. You will share with Me your joy, your praise, your sorrow, your weak points, your strong points. You will focus on Me, as your Divine Healer. You will keep these letters to Me in a notebook entitled, "My Love Letters to Jesus." I then will ask you to open up the Blue Book messages which are My love letters to you. You will then read My love letters to you. You will continue talking to Me for l0 minutes about your letter to Me and My letter to you. At the same time I ask you to continue publishing all the love letters I have given to man.
This is the tool that I give to you that you will become My most intimate lover and I say to you, "To be an intimate lover, you must spend time being intimately involved. This time will become a most cherished half hour daily."
When you go to Mass and Holy Communion, always pray the Prayer Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The Mass is the greatest love affair between God and man. I ask you during the Mass to continue your love affair with Me as you give yourself to Me in complete love. It is in the time after Communion, in the 20 minutes spent alone with Me, that we will share the most intimate love secrets of our hearts. We will be joined in such oneness with each other. I am calling you to circulate this letter immediately for you will soon see how urgent the situation in the world has become. The Father will not tolerate the sinfulness of men. Your day will be turned to more days of prayer because of this situation.
I am Jesus.
R. We do not want to give deeply within ourselves because we may get hurt, so we remain closed because we are afraid.
Jesus: This will teach you to give yourself deeply to Me. I was wounded with the deepest wounds and I continued to love.
R. He was opened up raw, jabbed in the wounds and He still loved We are wounded by so many love relationships, parents, children, relatives, friends. We carry around in our hearts a life of disappointments, we know pain. We think, if we do not open ourselves, we will not be wounded. If the flower does not open, it remains a bud, to be in full bloom, it must open.
Jesus: I will be the King and center of your heart. Before writing the letter to Me, pray the Holy Spirit Prayer and the consecration prayers.
This method of communication with Me will help heal the wounds in your heart. I am giving to you several Mass Books. Study these books so you will participate in this celebration and receive the greatest outpouring of My grace.
I give Myself to you in Communion and I am not recognized or even talked to by many souls. How this wounds My Heart. I give you Myself completely and I am treated as if My gift is nothing. How would you like to open yourself up to the deepest part of your heart, give yourself as a gift to others and be rejected? How would it feel to share yourself as you have never shared before, give yourself completely and be ignored? I give you Myself and you treat it as if it is nothing.
R. The sun is covered with the clouds many times. Every day is a sunny day when our hearts are one with Him. Our days must be spend in oneness with Him. We must always be living with His light shining in our hearts. Writing an intimate letter to Jesus every day and following this procedure, will make Him our most intimate lover. We must be intimate with Him to have an intimate relationship with Him. We must give ourselves to Him.
Jesus: I am calling you to a deep, intimate relationship with Me. All of you will not be able to do all I have listed. The more you follow this plan, the deeper your relationship will become with Me.
1) Morning Offering
2) Daily Mass and Communion
3) One hour of private time with Me
4) Praying the Rosary
5) Continual consecration, praying the Holy Spirit Prayer and the Consecration Prayer from the prayer cards.My beloved shepherds, you will give Me the burning love I desire. You will lead others to this great gift of My Heart. Many will be led home to My Heart. My Heart will reign. I will be King and center of many hearts through this message and the letters I write to you in God's Blue Book. The Father is giving to you His plan through these messages in God's Blue Book and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I am the Teacher. I am the Word. I have spoken to you in plain talk. My Heart will reign and My Mother's heart will triumph. This is the beginning. I give to you this message on first Saturday as a great gift to My Mother.
You must circulate this message. It is My plan for greater intimacy with your most loving God.
