Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

l. Song: The Angel Gabriel

2. Song: Gloria

3. Song: Gloria continues

4. Song: Oh Holy Mary

5. Jesus: The time of your Visitation is at hand for Mary appeared to you as Our Lady of Light for so many months. And how did the people respond to the great calling of their Mother? For from the time of Eve, man has sinned. The New Eve appeared, the Lady clothed as the sun now appears on the building in Florida and the world is asleep. For they do not recognize the great sign that the Lord has sent to you, a woman, clothed as the sun, adorned on the building in Florida.

6. R. Why is the hand of the Lord held high above the earth? Because of the willfulness of the children of this earth. For it is a great gift that God gives to man when He sends His Mother to this earth. But how is it that many of the sinful children could go deeply into the Heart of Christ? Does it not make perfect sense that He would send a perfect, a pure and spotless one, that when we go to her heart and we pray through her powerful intercession, immense grace will be released. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present. And uniting in such oneness with Him is so important to give ourselves to God the Father as a sacrifice in great oneness with His Son. And so this great union reaches its heights when we give ourselves in oneness to the heart of Mary. And it is in her heart that we unite deeply in the Heart of Christ. And grace flows when we unite and pray at Mass. Pray to the Father united to Jesus at Mass. Beg for grace. Give glory and honor to our Father at Mass.

7. R. What is the story of Salvation History? It is that man sinned. Jesus is our Savior. And it is that we go to God and tell Him we are sorry for our sins. And that we give Him great honor and glory as is His due. Mary is the spotless Virgin, the Mother of Jesus. We pray for her powerful intercession.

8. R. In the Litany we recognize Mary in her Motherhood, her Virginity, her titles, her Queenship. Mary is the most highly favored Lady and we should sing, “Gloria”. A Son is born this day, God, the Son of Man, given to us our Savior.

Song: A Song from Jesus

9. Jesus: The time of your Visitation is at hand. For the Lady appears clothed as the sun on the building in Florida.

10. R. This is from the first Blue Book and it was almost three years before Mary appeared on that building. And He woke me knocking and there were lights in the room and I heard really strong, “like the seedless barren no fruit on the vine” message of Jesus. He kept saying this, “Who will read this message? Angels will read this message”. And I got out of bed and I was scared and I ran down the steps to the study because that’s where I wrote all the messages.

Jesus: “...I will be by their side. I want the messages out. I want them out, I tell you. I want My people to hear all I am telling you. I want, not a few, but all to hear these words. They are private revelations given by Me to My people. The souls are, oh, so hungry for this one. They need to get these messages. I am one crying in the desert. Make ready the way of the Lord. Prepare ye a path for the Master. He comes as a child in a stable. His people are asleep.” (December 20, 1993)

R. And Mary, when she gave the message on December 19th, 1996, three years later said, Mary: “My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.

    I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.”

R. That’s what she said three years later that’s on the back of that card.

Jesus: “...Where are they and what are they doing with their busy lives? The angels will read the messages. They will rock the heavens and all will know My love and My might. From the housetops, shout this. Proclaim, “The day of the Lord is approaching. Make ready a path for Him." Will you comply with this demand to deliver a message to My people?” (December 20, 1993)

Song: Angels we have Heard on High

 

The Visitation

l. R. And He speaks of a sign. And I wonder if the sign three years later is the Lady clothed as the sun.

Jesus: “Time, child, is so short. You must ready all with My ords of love. They are half asleep and dazed. They walk this earth with blinders on their eyes. My day will rock them off their rockers and they will know it is I with Whom they deal. No mistake will be made as to what is happening. All will see My power and My might. From the heavens shall come a sign and all will know from whence it comes. And the days that follow will be days to prepare men's hearts for My coming. I will not come unannounced. I will come with My power and My might and you will know what you will behold. Men will turn their hearts to Me with these messages. Get them out, I tell you, for their need is very great. I am patient and yet I am demanding. Ready yourself for this day of the Lord. I come as a baby into your midst, the angels sing, the choirs of heaven rejoice and you will know soon that I am very close to you all. Indeed you will know!” (December 20, 1993)

2. Song: Gloria, in excelsis deo

3. R. This is about the shepherds.

Luke 2: 19-20 As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as they had been told.

4. Song: Gloria, in excelsis deo continued

5. Reference 1 Corinthians 15:20-23

6. Song: A Song from Jesus - refrain

R. This is what I wrote this morning.

Revelation 22: 20 ...I am indeed coming soon. Amen; come, Lord Jesus.

Matthew 2: 9 ...And suddenly the star they had seen rising went forward and halted over the place where the child was. Luke 2: 8 In the countryside close by there were shepherds out in the fields keeping guard over their sheep during the watches of the night.

R. This is like us. We’re keeping the night watch while they’re slumbering over their flock. This is what we are doing watching in the darkness. It is night now and a big light is about to go over the earth.

Luke 2: 14 Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace for those he favours.

R. On April 17th of 1994 there was a Blue Book meeting and He told me to do that video that afternoon. That was like one of the beginning times in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. And the Blue Book meeting was in that chapel that day and that light shone over the Center and He said that He was coming in their hearts. And so it is like we are the shepherds today that are watching in the darkness and the light is about to break on the earth. The video is April 17, 1994, Message from Jesus.

7. R. Listen to this. It says this in the Psalm.

Reference Psalm 130: 6-8

R. It is now that we are in the dark, the shepherds, and we are waiting for the light to come across the sky as He said. And Israel He said to me meant the children of Light.

8. Reference Colossians 1: 13-16, 18

9. Reference Jeremiah 25: 34-38

R. Come Lord Jesus, Come.

10. Song: A Song from Jesus - refrain

Song: Come to Bethlehem, Gloria

 

The Birth of Jesus

l. Song: Away in the Manger

2. Hail Mary

3. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary - refrain

4. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary - verse 1

5. Psalm 110: 1-5, 7

Yahweh declared to my Lord, ‘Take your seat at my
right hand, till I have made your enemies your footstool.’
Yahweh will stretch out the sceptre of your power; from
Zion you will rule your foes all around you.

Royal dignity has been yours from the day of your
birth, sacred honour from the womb, from the dawn of your youth.
Yahweh has sworn an oath he will never retract,
you are a priest for ever of the order of Melchizedek.

At your right hand, Lord,
he shatters kings when his anger breaks out.

He drinks from a stream as he goes,
and therefore he holds his head high.

6. R. And He speaks on December 20th, 1993 from Blue Book I, with this message where He was knocking.

Jesus: “What awaits those in their feeble hearts! They run after such useless things when I, God, am talking in these letters. They think their world is their end. What an awakening they will have-a wide awakening! I knock to make ready for My coming. You hear Me knock on your door in the night. Make ready this path so My people will read these letters of love. I am mighty and worthy of such praise. My people must realize My love in My intense might. What sign do you need? Do you think these messages were for your ears alone? Such power and wisdom in Rita’s purse? This is not the idea. They are for all! My ease goes with you in all your undertakings to get these messages out.” (December 20, 1993)

7. Jesus: “Slow, too slow, I tell you. Shout My message from the housetops, that I am Lord and I am coming in your midst as a baby, but, with such might! My time is at hand. You tarry too long, My little ones. Time you do not have. This world is crazy! People are so busy at the malls. Oh, what foolish ones. I come as a baby into your midst. This is My birthday and whom do you worship? You worship idols! It is all such a sick world. Make ready My path, My little ones. Time is so short and you must not tarry any longer for into your hands I place My words for the world. They are mighty, little ones. Read them! What do you do with these words? Do you want proof? Look at Me hanging on the cross. It is out of this love of you I died a brutal death! Do you think I would not go to this extent to save the souls of My loved ones? Why would I come to this earth, give My life for all My beautiful creatures, and then, at this stage of the game, not send some mighty medicine to cure My sick little ones? You possess the mighty medicine. I mixed it with such love and I hand-deliver each message to shake My people to My love. The heavens will rock and the Son of Man will appear on a cloud and the glory of the Lord will be shown on high!” (December 20, 1993)

8. Song: A Song from Jesus

9. Jesus: “Get busy, you little people. The angels declare My words are given here. This is My gift to My people-distinct, clear letters proclaiming My love. Are you listening? Do you think I would not try everything to save My beloved ones?

    Oh, I will go to any extent to save these little ones, so ornery and so stupid in their ways, so sinful in this evil world, but so precious to Me. I will come in My glory and I want every last soul. I am God. Why would I not speak to you? I wait for you. I wait, I wait, but you are all so blind and dense. What you do is so silly. Your ways here have become sick and your hearts have become hard. But shout it from the housetops! I loved you to My death! I love you all in your sickness. I want you united under the mantle of My mother, praying and honoring God.” (December 20, 1993)

10. Jesus: “America, turn yourselves around before it is too late. Come and heed My harkening. Come, come, My children. Time is so short and a lot of mending must be done in your hearts. You have hardened them and now they must come back to life. Only I can give you this life in your hearts.

    Heed My words here. I am gentle and kind in heart. My heart is a heart of love. I have hand-delivered these messages to My people and you are My delivery boys. Get them going, little ones. You tarry too much. My gift to My people is My love this Christmas.” (December 20, 1993)

 

The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

1. Jesus: Come to Me. Stop it I tell you. Don’t run amuck. I want to be alone with you and you are to come and be with Me. I love you with such intensity.

2. Jesus: And so how was your Christmas? I ask you this, My beloved ones. For there will be a new earth and the old earth will pass away. And you are on the sidelines and you tip back and forth. And you would like to go back to that old way because it once felt so comfortable. But you know Me and you know My love. And so you go back and you think, oh this is uncomfortable. And the whole world is not like you. I tell you there will be a new earth and the old way will pass away. And you are My shepherds and you will suffer. And as you go to the heart of the woman clothed as the sun, you are one in My Heart. And you experience great peace in your heart and you are elated to such heights in Me. And then you are back to this earthy place, this place in which you cannot understand earthy thinking. How can you be to such heights and then go back to such low points. For at one moment you are highly elated as you are saturated with My life in front of the tabernacle, and then there you are out the door and it is as if someone hit you in the face with a wet rag. And there you are in a different place and how did this happen? Well the devil, My dear ones, wants you to stop. And so you have an immense struggle. And what is it that the whole world is one way and you are another way. But when you are in the circle, when you are in the womb of the woman and you feel so comfortable and so good and having known this in the heights of intimacy with Me, you may want to go to that which is familiar. But when you go back there, that which is familiar is very uneasy to your soul. For that once was very comfortable. It is comfortable for so many. They are the children that are walking in darkness. You are the leader. You cannot be pulled down by them for they want you back to where you were. You must pull them into the center, into the heart of Mary. It is there that they will be brought forth into a new way, that they will be conceived of the woman and brought forth aschildren of Light. These are the ones that will survive, the ones that have given their heart to the woman, to Mary’sImmaculate Heart.

3. 1 Corinthians 15: 23 ...Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him.

Luke 2: 19-20 As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as they had been told.

4. R. (This is what I wrote today). The lame are outside the sheep gate. He cures them and says, take up your mat. Really, take up your mat and follow Me. The way after Him is to take up our cross. But most people stop at the gate because it is too hard, because the world says, take a pain pill, it should be easy. The way after the Good Shepherd though, through the sheep gate is to take up our cross. In John 10, He says –

John 10: 1-3

‘In all truth I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold through the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a bandit. He who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the flock; the gate-keeper lets him in, the sheep hear his voice, one by one he calls his own sheep and leads them out.

R. He has written our name in His Heart because we have given ourselves to His most Sacred Heart. He promised to Margaret Mary that He would write our names in His Heart. Revelation says, their names have been written in the Book of Life. Those are the ones that will survive.

Promises of Our Lord to those devoted to His Sacred Heart

1. I will give them all the graces necessary in their state of life.

2. I will establish peace in their homes.

3. I will comfort them in all their afflictions.

4. I will be their refuge during life and above all in death.

5. I will bestow a large blessing on all their undertakings.

6. Sinners shall find in My Heart the source and the infinite ocean of mercy.

7. Tepid souls shall grow fervent.

8. Fervent souls shall quickly mount to high perfection.

9. I will bless every place where a picture of My Heart shall be set up and honored.

10. I will give to priests the gift of touching the most hardened hearts.

11. Those who promote this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, never to be blotted out.

12. I promise you in the excessive mercy of My Heart that My all-powerful love will grant to all those who communicate on the first Friday in nine consecutive months the grace of final penitence; they shall not die in My disgrace nor without receiving their sacraments; My divine Heart shall be their safe refuge in this last moment.

5. R. All through the Blue Books it says, “I am the Good Shepherd. They follow Me.” He says the same thing in all of these that are in this book. This is what we are doing here. The priests are to be like Jesus. Fr. Carter is bonding in the Priestly Newsletter with the hearts of those priests that are open. And Fr. Carter, who has that immense union with Him and is a priest is the leader of our Movement. The priest needs to lead this flock into this oneness. And the priests' hearts can be turned into priests like the Good Shepherd through the Newsletter. And their hearts will be bonded to our hearts and to Fr. Carter’s heart and to Jesus and Mary’s Hearts as they consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We are being molded into oneness. We all consecrate our hearts together here. We can no longer be isolated and separate. The commandment was to love God and to love one another. As we merge in oneness, we have to die to those ways that are separate and imperfect, that are not of the Good Shepherd. And in the dying it is most painful. It is easier to go to the top of the hill on some days and say, “I want to be by myself.” But is this what He wants? Does He want us alone? Even when we are in front of the tabernacle, we are united in an immense oneness in our hearts with one another. And if there is any division at all between any of us, our hearts are torn in half inside because over these years we have molded our hearts together. Division immensely hurts us. He has fed us on a daily dose of His life in the Eucharist and an hour in front of the tabernacle. This book, “Teachings to Lift You Up” is about receiving great grace. We are lifted up when we sit in front of the tabernacle. We need to do our hour before the tabernacle if we are leaders in the Shepherds of Christ. But the worst is, worse than not eating food, is not having that grace from the tabernacle and from the Mass.

We are starved and we can look around for every pleasure of the earth to fill our souls. But what is life but the Bread of Life and it is in Him and we have all been saturated with His life. The more we search for a useless pleasure here, the more that we are left dry, empty, frustrated.

6. R. The devil tries to get us divided in our hearts from one another because it is immensely painful. The way that we will operate and we will have the greatest peace is to have peace with one another. We have all had our hearts molded together in a way that only God could do to bring about this great oneness on the earth. And we are all leaning in, in this oneness. Even when we go away from each other we must stay united in our heart for our own sanity. For we are deepest in our heart when we are one in Him, and one with each other. And in the end there will be the unity throughout this whole earth because of the work that we are doing here that will majorly contribute to it. Oneness in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the consecration, whether I am here or if I am across the world, I will be one with all those in the Mass. And in the end, in the new earth, we will know oneness, fullness as never before because the more of us are one, the fuller our love in Him.

7. Colossians 1: 18

and he is the Head of the Body, that is, the Church. He is the Beginning, the first–born from the dead, so that he should be supreme in every way;

8. Colossians 1: 19-20

because God wanted all fullness to be found in him and through him to reconcile all things to him, everything in heaven and everything on earth, by making peace through his death on the cross.

9. Colossians 1: 12

giving thanks with joy to the Father who has made you able to share the lot of God's holy people and with them to inherit the light.

10. Colossians 1: 13-14

It is he who has rescued us from the ruling force of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son that he loves, and in him we enjoy our freedom, the forgiveness of sin.

Song: I Love You Jesus

 

The Finding of Jesus in the Temple

l. 1 Corinthians 15: 20-28

In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

2. Reference 1 Corinthians 15: 29-34

3. Reference 1 Corinthians 15: 35-44

4. Reference 1 Corinthians 15: 45-49

5. R. And so we go back and forth. And the teachings in the Blue Book are indeed His teachings to lift us high. In front of the tabernacle we are lifted high. We are of that special heights in Him. And so then, we go back. The only way that we can stay consistent is to consistently love, love always. If we have division in our heart with any person, we smack back to the earthly person and in our hearts we are divided and feel uncomfortable. We must give our hearts to Mary. We must strive for more perfect love as great as we can have it, likened, more and more to unity like the love that exists between the Persons of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. For this is why we have been called here to help to mold this world into great oneness. And how can we do that if there is division in our own hearts?

6. R. How deep do you want this union with Christ? We were created to long for God. And nothing, no pleasure out there, cookies or whatever, will fill our souls. Nothing will give us the pleasure that we want. The deepest union is in Him and the deepest union is in not having division with any man. We must always operate at every second for His honor and His glory. And in the end, this is our goal that of the new earth. That we say as St. Paul says, “yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.” Galatians 2: 19-20 Christ is the center, the first fruit. And right now we can be going back and forth between the earthy and being more holy. And we want so much to be one in Him. But the devil tries to create this division in our thoughts. And we must, must, must for the joy within our hearts, concentrate on being one with each other. For in this oneness we are in the deepest part of the Heart of Christ. And we relish and love the union that we have with Him. This is our goal. This is our want.

7. R. We go to Mary’s heart she takes us to Jesus’ Heart. It is there that we are united in this great oneness. And it is constant. Only those that were in the Ark survived the flood of Noah. Only will we have that peace that we long for if we stay in her Immaculate Heart. That means staying in there in greatest love. The payoff for us being in love with one another, is peace, love and joy in our hearts. It is example that we talk about. It is our place that people will then look at us and say, we want what they have and we will follow. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. The Finding of Jesus in the Temple.

8. R. Ark of the Covenant, Tower of Ivory, House of Gold. This is the Virgin Mary. She is pure, Immaculate and sinless. And the more that we concentrate in the Mass as she stands beside the altar in Lucia’s vision, the more that we concentrate on being in her Immaculate Heart. No matter what we are praying for, if we are in her heart, He will open up the floodgates of Heaven when we are united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. And grace will be outpoured. And so the Father says that He is so angered about how we have treated Mary and we have disobeyed her. We must honor her Immaculate Heart. We are not recognizing this whole Plan when we do not recognize Mary. We do not see that we are tainted, Mary is not. That Mary takes us deeply into Jesus' Heart. We go to Mary's Heart – Tower of Ivory, House of Gold, Ark of the Covenant.

9. Jesus: My children of Light, you will be brought forth from the womb of the woman into a deeper life in Me. You will be in deep oneness with God in the Mass.

R. We’ve got to think of ourselves as dwelling in Mary’s heart at all times. We go to Mary’s Heart and pray through her powerful intercession at Mass.

10. Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet

R. You know how it is if you are a mother. The immense pain if there is any division between you and your children. Think of how it is for Mary for she loves each child on this earth more than any earthly mother could love a child. Mary has this ability. Do you hear the wailing woman as she cries forth under the cross? And the tears come down her cheeks for she knows how many will be saved and how many will be lost this day and how many will not heed her words that she speaks, the words of Fatima. That we must give our heart to her and to her Son, Jesus.

Excerpt from October 8, 1997

Jesus: ...There was not room for Me in the Inn and there is not room for Me in the hearts of many and what can I say - they will die. I gave them the book of life. I gave them the Man who hung on a tree to save them. I gave them Myself, truly present in the Eucharist, the Eucharist and My Word I gave them. I gave to them My Mother - the way to enter into My Heart and they were haughty and proud. I was born in a stable in Bethlehem for you, My men. I am the Light of the World. The foolish virgins had no oil for their lamps and they went out. And you could hear the wailing cries of her children being slaughtered in the dark night. Oh, the Lady Clothed as the Sun warned them to come to her heart and the Heart of her Son (the Light of the World) and they went to the molten calf and they died a brutal death. end of excerpt

Luke 2: 34-35, 51

‘Look, he is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel, ... and a sword will pierce your soul too His mother stored up all these things in her heart.
