R. People can manipulate others
by what they do to them —

    The terrorist worked in fear —
we were punished by the 2001
incident of September 11th, but we saw
that we can be attacked and hurt
and punished by others threatening
us and trying to force us to be
subjected to their power —

    War is weird because people
can destroy each other for the
sake of forcing others to do it
our way. War is really about
power and tearing apart and
force.

    In World War I it was so devastating
those fighting were in dug outs and
were fought with their very bodies
and gas was used — mustard gas —
to make burns and - life was mangled
and destroyed almost instantly —

    At the same time Mary appeared
the Queen of Peace at Fatima and
told them what to do and she said
if you don't do it there would be
a worse war and you would know
it by a light in the sky —



Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

July 13, 1917 (excerpt)

    "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 the 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. ⁽¹²⁾

9. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.4-5.

R. We have to believe God has the
Power and is over us all

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.

R. The person fighting in a marriage
that is trying to inflict their ways
on another uses tactics to do so.

    God wants us to recognize we
are here to build His Kingdom. We are
as the angel said in the first visit
at Fatima to pray for faith, hope
and love — Here is the first message of
the angel at Fatima, World War I was raging then.

Prayer from the Angel at Fatima

"My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You."

R. We have a wounded human nature —
We can give into the 7 deadly sins
because we have tendencies toward
these because of our wounded
human nature or we can pray to
God for virtue. In baptism we
receive a special sharing in God's life —
We pray for the increase of these virtues
of faith, hope and love —

    In this prayer from the angel
of Fatima, we pray for those who
do not believe, do not hope and
do not love —

    We were created in the image
and likeness of God — When we
go to the Immaculate Heart of
our Mother — the Holy Spirit forms us
more and more in the image of God —

    Here is a message Jesus gave Fr. Carter

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!"

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.

end of excerpt



R. So Mary appeared at Fatima. World
War I was raging with its brutality
600,000 men could be destroyed in one
battle. Life was lost —

    Blown from the belly of the
earth, blistered, like a body
destroyed in the dungeons of war,
brutality, loss of life.

    God is love —

    God created us to love and to work
with our brothers.

    God gave us rules to follow —

    In a dysfunctional home, from
generations past a person can use
means to force their dominance
and they use survival tactics from
their home as a child to try to mold
the home now to be like that one
so they can act the way that is
familiar, with their survival
tactics there in the new home,
but they have to use some power
to make others do it their way.
They can use abuse, or manipulation
by controlling funds, things needed
by others.

    God puts parents in charge of
the children to teach them to grow
and teach them about God and
what is right. (4th commandment)

    But anyone can try to
usurp power to do what they
want and force their way to try to
break rules —

The rebellious teenager is trying
to do their own thing and change -
parents' rules.
Now that rebellion is even more in
younger children.

Wherever there is a group of people,
a person wanting their rules and
not the rule in place, can
usurp power, use force to
implement their way.

The devil works on our wounded
human nature by using
memories, old wounds to
get us to choose evil instead
of good. He reads the man, like a golfer
reading a green and he wants the
man to disobey God's rules of love
and act in punishing others unloving
in greed and envy and jealousy
and seeking power for power
sake.

    The devil wants a man to lose
His soul.

    In the message God the Father
gave me May 1, 2012 —



From May 1, 2012 Rosary

God the Father: I have called you here to pray for healing and for the issues of the Movement. I have called you to be docile and kind in your hearts that you will understand the seriousness of the messages that I have given to you. For if you know the seriousness of the condition of the world, you would surely welcome a message given from God, to tell you that I will help you if you pray the prayers that I gave to you 17 years ago. But instead the harmony that is needed, the eagerness to hear why the Blessed Mother appeared on the building as Our Lady of Clearwater is not recognized as the gift that I have given to you.



R. He says He will help us —
    This is a message of hope —
    If we pray and do what God
    wants us to do — He will help us —

God the Father has told me since
after Mary appeared at Clearwater
December 17, 1996. In messages
January, 1997 God the Father told me He
sent Jesus to bring the Shepherds of Christ
to the world, to the Church to pray for
the priests, the Church and the
world and to pray the prayers
Jesus gave Fr. Carter —

R. At the time of Noah the world was
full of corruption, God chose
Noah and his family and destroyed
the rest of the human race and
it was a loving thing to do, rather
than let this corruption continue —
But it shows us the Church and the
waters of baptism taking away
original sin, but the tendencies
of our wounded human nature
remain.

    War, War, War —
    Manipulation and force —
    Countries trying to back others
        against a wall for power.

St. Ignatius says all sins can be
    narrowed down to
    power, affections, and greed

We see that the devil wanted Jesus
    to bow to him after Jesus
    fasted 40 days —

    Now we are preparing for Pentecost —
We need to pray to the Holy Spirit —

Here is how Jesus told us to pray
    to the Holy Spirit in a Novena and Scriptures
    he told me to compile and pray —

Holy Spirit Novena

DAILY NOVENA PRAYERS

Opening Prayer

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dear Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus, in union with Him in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit. We come to You united to the Child Jesus of Good Health and the Infant of Prague. We come to You in the perfect, sinless heart of Our Mother Mary, asking her powerful intercession, uniting ourselves to her holy tears. We come to You united to all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory.

Prayer for Holy Spirit

We pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on us, to be baptized by the Holy Spirit, that He will descend mightily on us as He did on the Apostles at Pentecost. That the Holy Spirit will transform us from fear to fearlessness and that He will give us courage to do all the Father is asking of us to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. We pray for the Holy Spirit to descend mightily on the Jesuits and the Poor Clares on the Shepherds of Christ leaders and members and on the whole Body of Christ and the world.

Protection by the Blood of Jesus

We pray that the Blood of Jesus will be spread on us, everyone in our families, and the Shepherds of Christ Movement, that we will be able to move steadfastly ahead and be protected from the evil one.

Healing

We pray for healing in body, mind, and soul and generational healing in ourselves, in all members in our families, and in all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, the Jesuit Community, the Poor Clares, the Body of Christ, and the world.

Prayer for Strength and Light

We adore You, oh Holy Spirit. Give us strength, give us light, console us. We give ourselves entirely to You. Oh Spirit of light and grace, we want to only do the will of the Father. Enlighten us that we may live always in the Father's will.

Eternal Spirit fill us with Your Divine Wisdom that we may comprehend more fully insight into Your Divine Mysteries.

Give us lights, Oh Holy Spirit that we may know God. Work within the heart, the spiritual womb of the Virgin Mary, to form us more and more into the image of Jesus.

Prayer to Be One with God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit

We long for You, Oh Spirit of Light, we long to know God, we want to be one with Him, our Divine God. We want to be one with the Father, know Him as a Person most intimately. We want to know the beloved One, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and live and dwell in Him at all times, every moment of our lives. We want to be one with You, Oh Spirit of Light, that You move in us in our every breath.

Prayer to Be One in Jesus

Let us experience life in the Sacred Heart of Jesus, so we can say as Saint Paul, "I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me...." Let us live, united to the Mass, all through the day being one in Him. Let us be able to love and know in this elevated state of oneness with our God. We long for Thee, oh beauteous God, we love You, we love You, we love You. We praise You, worship You, honor You, adore You, and thank You, our beloved God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Prayer to Dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary

We seek to be one in God, to live and dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, our little heaven on earth, to experience life in the all perfect, pure, sinless heart of our Mother. We want the Holy Spirit to move in us and to be united to Jesus as the Bridegroom of our souls and be a most perfect sacrifice offered to the Father at every moment as we unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass around the world to help in the salvation of souls.

Prayer for the Holy Spirit and His Gifts

Come Holy Spirit, come, come into our hearts, inflame all people with the fire of Your love.

Leader: Send forth Your Spirit and all will be reborn.
All: And You will renew the face of the earth.

We pray for the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, we ask for perfection in our souls to make us holy, holy souls likened to God.

Dear Holy Spirit, we give ourselves to You soul and body. We ask You to give us the Spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord.

Prayer for the Word Alive in Our Hearts

We know, dear Holy Spirit, the Word in His human nature was brought forth within the womb of the woman. We pray that His word will be brought forth in our hearts as He lives and dwells in us. We want the incarnation to go on in our lives. Dear Holy Spirit, work in us.

Little Prayers to the Holy Spirit

Dear Holy Spirit, help us not to be ignorant or indifferent or weak, help us to be strong with the love of God.

Dear Holy Spirit, please pray for our needs for us.

Dear Holy Spirit, help us to respect God and to avoid sin. Help us to live in the Father's will.

Dear Holy Spirit, help us to keep Your commandments and to respect authority. Help us to love all things as You will us to love them. Help us to want to pray and always serve God with the greatest love. Help us to know the truth. Help us to have the gift of faith, hope, and love. Help us to know what is right and what is wrong.

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.

Romans 8:14-17

All who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God; for what you received was not the spirit of slavery to bring you back into fear; you received the Spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out, 'Abba, Father!' The Spirit himself joins with our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God. And if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, provided that we share his suffering, so as to share his glory.

Romans 8:5-9

Those who are living by their natural inclinations have their minds on the things human nature desires; those who live in the Spirit have their minds on spiritual things. And human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to life and peace, because the outlook of disordered human nature is opposed to God, since it does not submit to God's Law, and indeed it cannot, and those who live by their natural inclinations can never be pleasing to God. You, however, live not by your natural inclinations, but by the Spirit, since the Spirit of God has made a home in you. Indeed, anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

1 John 4:12-16

No one has ever seen God, but as long as we love one another God remains in us and his love comes to its perfection in us. This is the proof that we remain in him and he in us, that he has given us a share in his Spirit. We ourselves have seen and testify that the Father sent his Son as Saviour of the world. Anyone who acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God remains in him and he in God. We have recognised for ourselves, and put our faith in, the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him.

1 John 4:17-21

Love comes to its perfection in us when we can face the Day of Judgement fearlessly, because even in this world we have become as he is. In love there is no room for fear, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear implies punishment and no one who is afraid has come to perfection in love. Let us love, then, because he first loved us. Anyone who says 'I love God' and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen. Indeed this is the commandment we have received from him, that whoever loves God, must also love his brother.

1 John 4:7-11

My dear friends, let us love one another, 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. This is the revelation of God's love for us, that God sent his only Son into the world that we might have life through him. Love consists in this: it is not we who loved God, but God loved us and sent his Son to expiate our sins. My dear friends, if God loved us so much, we too should love one another.

Acts of the Apostles 1:1-5

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.'

Acts of the Apostles 1:6-9

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.

Acts of the Apostles 1:12-14

So from the Mount of Olives, as it is called, they went back to Jerusalem, a short distance away, no more than a Sabbath walk; and when they reached the city they went to the upper room where they were staying; there were Peter and John, James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Jude son of James. With one heart all these joined constantly in prayer, together with some women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

Acts of the Apostles 2:1-4

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.

John 14:21-31

Whoever holds to my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me; and whoever loves me will be loved by my Father, and I shall love him and reveal myself to him.'

Judas-not Judas Iscariot-said to him, 'Lord, what has happened, that you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?' Jesus replied:

Anyone who loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make a home in him. Anyone who does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not my own: it is the word of the Father who sent me. I have said these things to you while still with you; but the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all I have said to you. Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid. You heard me say: I am going away and shall return. If you loved me you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. I have told you this now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe. I shall not talk to you much longer, because the prince of this world is on his way. He has no power over me, but the world must recognise that I love the Father and that I act just as the Father commanded. Come now, let us go.

John 17:11-26

I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep those you have given me true to your name, so that they may be one like us. While I was with them, I kept those you had given me true to your name. I have watched over them and not one is lost except one who was destined to be lost, and this was to fulfil the scriptures. But now I am coming to you and I say these things in the world to share my joy with them to the full. I passed your word on to them, and the world hated them, because they belong to the world no more than I belong to the world. I am not asking you to remove them from the world, but to protect them from the Evil One. They do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. Consecrate them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world, and for their sake I consecrate myself so that they too may be consecrated in truth. I pray not only for these but also for those who through their teaching will come to believe in me. May they all be one, just as, Father, you are in me and I am in you, so that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe it was you who sent me. I have given them the glory you gave to me, that they may be one as we are one. With me in them and you in me, may they be so perfected in unity that the world will recognise that it was you who sent me and that you have loved them as you have loved me.

Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may always see my glory which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. Father, Upright One, the world has not known you, but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me. I have made your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them.

I 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.

Revelation 3:1-3,12,16-19

'Write to the angel of the church in Sardis and say, "Here is the message of the one who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know about your behaviour: how you are reputed to be alive and yet are dead. Wake up; put some resolve into what little vigour you have left: it is dying fast. So far I have failed to notice anything in your behaviour that my God could possibly call perfect; remember how you first heard the message. Hold on to that. Repent! If you do not wake up, I shall come to you like a thief, and you will have no idea at what hour I shall come upon you.

Anyone who proves victorious I will make into a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and it will stay there for ever; I will inscribe on it the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which is coming down from my God in heaven, and my own new name as well.

'...but since you are neither hot nor cold, but only lukewarm, I will spit you out of my mouth. You say to yourself: I am rich, I have made a fortune and have everything I want, never realising that you are wretchedly and pitiably poor, and blind and naked too. I warn you, buy from me the gold that has been tested in the fire to make you truly rich, and white robes to clothe you and hide your shameful nakedness, and ointment to put on your eyes to enable you to see. I reprove and train those whom I love: so repent in real earnest.'

Revelation 5:9-14

They sang a new hymn: You are worthy to take the scroll and to break its seals, because you were sacrificed, and with your blood you bought people for God of every race, language, people and nation and made them a line of kings and priests for God, to rule the world.

In my vision, I heard the sound of an immense number of angels gathered round the throne and the living creatures and the elders; there were ten thousand times ten thousand of them and thousands upon thousands, loudly chanting:

Worthy is the Lamb that was sacrificed to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honour, glory and blessing.

Then I heard all the living things in creation-everything that lives in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea, crying:

To the One seated on the throne and to the Lamb, be all praise, honour, glory and power, for ever and ever.

And the four living creatures said, 'Amen'; and the elders prostrated themselves to worship.

Revelation 7:14-17

I answered him, 'You can tell me, sir.' Then he said, 'These are the people who have been through the great trial; they have washed their robes white again in the blood of the Lamb. That is why they are standing in front of God's throne and serving him day and night in his sanctuary; and the One who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. They will never hunger or thirst again; sun and scorching wind will never plague them, because the Lamb who is at the heart of the throne will be their shepherd and will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.'

Revelation 12:1-8

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Then a second sign appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground, and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of giving birth, so that it could eat the child as soon as it was born. The woman was delivered of a boy, the son who was to rule all the nations with an iron sceptre, and the child was taken straight up to God and to his throne, while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty days.

And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the dragon. The dragon fought back with his angels, but they were defeated and driven out of heaven.

Revelation 14:1-7

Next in my vision I saw Mount Zion, and standing on it the Lamb who had with him a hundred and forty-four thousand people, all with his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. I heard a sound coming out of heaven like the sound of the ocean or the roar of thunder; it was like the sound of harpists playing their harps. There before the throne they were singing a new hymn in the presence of the four living creatures and the elders, a hymn that could be learnt only by the hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the world. These are the sons who have kept their virginity and not been defiled with women they follow the Lamb wherever he goes; they, out of all people, have been redeemed to be the first-fruits for God and for the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths and no fault can be found in them.

Then I saw another angel, flying high overhead, sent to announce the gospel of eternity to all who live on the earth, every nation, race, language and tribe. He was calling, 'Fear God and glorify him, because the time has come for him to sit in judgement; worship the maker of heaven and earth and sea and the springs of water.'

Revelation 19: 7-8

let us be glad and joyful and give glory to God, because this is the time for the marriage of the Lamb. His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress herself in dazzling white linen, because her linen is made of the good deeds of the saints.'

Revelation 21:1-10

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'

Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."' Then he said to me, 'It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.'

One of the seven angels that had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came to speak to me and said, 'Come here and I will show you the bride that the Lamb has married.' In the spirit, he carried me to the top of a very high mountain, and showed me Jerusalem, the holy city, coming down out of heaven from God.

Revelation 22:20

The one who attests these things says: I am indeed coming soon.

Amen; come, Lord Jesus.

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.

    I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book.

Mary: My blessed America,

                    I am Mary your Mother — you see
                the beauty of your land — from Alaska
                to Florida to California, to the state
                of Washington — your beauty in the waters
                of the Great Lakes and state of New York —
                Why are you so stingy in thanking your
                God for your gifts given — Hide not the
                dirt on your souls, but be cleansed
                by the sacrament of Penance, tell
                the people about Baptism — Water is
                given and you see its beauty all over
                the world — the coastlands all over the
                world and yet you fail to recognize
                the beauty of your soul and your
                Father above who calls you to purity
                and beauty in your hearts —

And Jesus said

                    "I will write the messages of My
                love on their hearts" and He has
                written His letters of love for you
                to circulate to the souls — so their
                hearts will know Jesus and the message
                of His Heart given in His Blue Books —
                Spread the Blue Books my precious
                children — so His words of love will
                be written for the hungry race on
                their hearts —

Mary tells me

                Jesus says "I love you, I love you,
                I love you — My Heart is on fire
                for you — I will set the world
                ablaze with the love letters of
                My Heart, but you must circulate
                them to the people"

Mary continues —

                    Oh my child — Oh my America —
                go to the Heart of my Son and to my
                Immaculate Heart — tell the world
                of the Rosaries we gave on the same
                day I appeared at Clearwater —
                December 17, 1996

My children listen to me

                    Oh America pray the prayers Jesus
                gives you now before it is too late —
                gather your families in a corner
                before the statue and pray the prayers
                for healing of your family, the Church
                and the world — Pray to me
                                        Pray to the Holy Spirit
                                        Pray to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
                                        Make Jesus the King and Center
                                            of your hearts and
                                            your lives

                Oh giant coast lands — you see
                    beauty, but fail to know the
                    beauty of your own graced soul —

                I am Our Lady of the United States
                    I appeared in Clearwater, Florida,
                    I was ignored —
                    Jesus was ignored
                    God the Father was ignored

Ignore me no longer —

Help me — pray these prayers
honoring Our Hearts —

Make Jesus the King and Center of
your hearts

I am Mary Mother of the Universe
Mother of Florida, the sunny state

I appear —

Our Lady Clothed with
the sun

Come to me my children, ignore
me no longer —

                Your focus is your grass, your
                    buildings — roads that go
                    all over

R. "All dressed up and no where to go" —

                A priest said a man was baptized, in
                    another Church, but never went to Church —
                    And now he was in the casket

Mary:

Where will you go my children?

You are here to prepare yourselves
for heaven —

You ignore me, my Son, God the Father

America —

I write to you today

to pray as my Son has told
you

Your rolling hills

Your tall buildings that tower
into the sky —

Remember 2001

                I called you every day 1994 to

                On August 13, 1917 after I had
                    showed the children a vision
                    of hell July 13, 1917 —

                    On August 13, 1917 —
                    they jailed the children of
                    Fatima

                I appeared August 19, 1917
                    and because they jailed the
                    children on August 13, 1917

                Oh my children, I love you so
                    much —
                    ignore me no longer

                Rolling hills, big buildings —
                    roads that go all over —
                    dams, planes that fly
                    the skies from one end
                    of the earth to the other

"All dressed up and no where to
go"

Where will you go on that final day
when you ignore God —

                    You are so particular about
                your brand clothes — to be in
                with the people — latest style —
                latest clothes —
                    paint the body

I am Mary your spiritual
Mother —

What about your soul —

                    Have you gone to the Church,
                        received baptism —
                        gone to Mass —
                        adoration, confession —
                        to make your soul so beautiful
                        like your painted body that goes
                        to the ground —

Oh my children —

                    Jesus loves you so much —
                let His letters of love be the
                message of love on your hearts —

Oh my children circulate Jesus'
letters of love —

spread them so people go
to the Eucharist —

I cry bloody tears for my
children

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

                    you tell them that
                    eternity lasts forever and ever —

The Infant of Prague

The Sacred Heart of Jesus

The Resurrected Lord

The Cathedrals and artwork of
centuries —

                The lives of the people who
                    believed in God and those
                    who did not —

Where are those men killed in
so many wars now —

                What of the floods that destroyed
                    so many structures — did this
                    remind men of Noah, did it remind
                    them of the dividing of the Red Sea —
                    How much pain is taken to preserve
                    artifacts and how some ignore their
                    souls — their spiritual life —

                    And yet God commissioned
                you in baptism to spread the
                Good News, but you say — the world
                doesn't want that —

                    How long is your life span —
                how many people have you touched
                in your life span —

                    Look at the things preserved from
                the Kings of Egypt long ago — so much
                painstaking efforts made for
                this —

                    My people Jesus came in dire
                poverty — He was conceived in my
                womb — born in a cave in
                Bethlehem

What of the Kingdoms of the earth —

                    What do you do for your heart to
                        make it a place of love for
                        Jesus and others

Ornateness of buildings preserved —

                Why do so many little babies in the
                    womb be murdered
                    Jesus came in the womb —
                    The Son of God grew in my
                        womb —

                    How can you say a baby
                        isn't a baby in
                        the womb

                    Jesus conceived of the Holy Spirit
                        in my womb, the Son
                        of God — I carried Jesus,
                        the Son of God in my
                        womb for 9 months —

                You are limited with your distorted vision
                    God created the waters, the earth
                    for you to see the magnificence
                    of His gift and YOU ignore Him —

You act as if you own things —

God created you to know, love and
SERVE Him —

                How can you seek dominance for
                    dominance sake — step on
                    your brothers and serve yourself
                    selfishly without a concern
                    for others and for God —

                God gave to you your bodies to serve
                    Him —
                    He breathed life in you —
                    Don't kill the babies in the
                        womb any longer — you
                        are testing God

You are to be humble servants
of the Lord —

                I appeared in Clearwater to
                    tell you these messages
                    from God the Father —

You broke my image head and
ignore me and the message I bring

I am Mary your Mother

Queen of Peace

Satan is ugly —

Many men focus on themselves as
Kings —

God is the King —

                Jesus was crowned for your sins —
                    Jesus wore a purple robe
                    and a crown of thorns

                Stop offending your God — I
                    cannot hold back His hand
                    from punishing the earth with
                    just punishments for your crimes —

I am Mary —

Queen of Peace

Obey the Commandments of God

Ignore me no longer

Pray the rosary every day

Pray these prayers Jesus
gave to Fr. Carter

I am Our Lady of Clearwater —
Queen of the Universe

Help the people to know the letters
of His love

Spread the Messages of
Jesus to the world —

I am Mary your Mother —

                God has given you so much to
                    eat, to drink, to enjoy —
                    why do you ignore God

All the great cities of the
world — look at the history —

                Where are these men who fought
                    for dominance when on
                    earth —
                    kings that wanted to be
                        worshipped
                    rulers who "lorded" over
                        the people when on earth

                And Jesus came in my womb —
                    the little King —
                    born in a stable in Bethlehem
                    among the animals

                What of the men who fought
                    for their heresy — leading men
                    off —

Look at the fountain before
the Vatican

                Look at the communion of the
                    saints
                    Follow their example
                    Not the example of worldly
                        men —

                The Apostles were called by God —
                    Today you are called by
                    Jesus to spread this
                    message so the
                    world will be filled with hearts
                    of love as they know Jesus'
                    love from His letters of love in
                    God's Blue Books

                Look at the beauty of the flowers,
                    fish, trees, skies, waters
                    God gives you

                The talents given to men to
                    promote the Kingdom of God,
                    but used by many, dead
                    now, who while on the
                    stage rebelled against
                    God's Plan and fought for their
                    own glory, their own dominance —

                Oh my children — worship God — not
                    yourselves — your lives are so
                    short here —

I cry for my children —

Listen to me —

I am Mother of the children of the
world —

                You are all my children — I stood
                    beneath the cross and
                    now I cry to you my children —
                    Help me —

                I am Queen of the children — Many of
                    my children have gone to hell — please
                    listen to me

I am Mary your Mother —

Listen to me and my Son

After morning Mass

R. Holding on and letting go —

                    To me and from the Blue Books I
                see us as the empty vessel ready
                to be filled —

Prayer for Union with Jesus

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

When I go to Mass I come ready
to be filled

                    I go to the Blessed Sacrament for
                adoration ready to receive more and
                more an abundant outpouring of
                His life.

                    When I read the Word — I want His
                word living in me — I prayed for
                this in the Holy Spirit Novena —
                Prayer for the Word Alive in our Hearts —
                Openness to receive His gifts —

Eager to come —

Wanting God to love so deeply in
me

Open — going to the Eucharist —
ready to be filled

Confession — wanting forgiveness —
eager for His grace —

                Knowing the Presence of God in
                    me — being sensitive to His
                    touch —
                    knowing with tears My love of
                        the Eucharist —
                    knowing how one I am with
                        God pleading for grace for
                        the world at the Consecration
                        of the Mass

                    "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."

Always — an empty vessel —
ready to be filled —

Free will —

                    It is me
                    Trusting in God
                    Wanting peace, love and joy to be
                        found in Him

A snow plow —

                    letting go of unfinished relationships —
                        that can keep us clogged —
                        make us angry and can
                        stop us from being an "empty
                        vessel, ready to be filled"

                To me Mass is where I go to be filled
                    by Him — filled with light —
                    smiling at others
                    giving to others

Love of God
Love of others —

                Being a victim — living like this
                    makes a person closed — like
                    a can with the lid on it —

Ready to be filled

Surrendering
Thirsting — Longing

Ready to receive
Ready to give to others

If somebody takes off lid —
song of singing the victim

                God has blessed us abundantly
                God wants us to look at Jesus
                    on the cross

Be like Jesus

Jesus gave His all

                Jesus gives us the Church
                Jesus gives us baptism
                Jesus gives us the Eucharist
                Jesus gives us confession
                                            |
                                            |
                                            |
                                the sacraments

Jesus gave us His all to His death
on the cross

Jesus came to this earth
Jesus gave us Himself

Jesus ———————> Giving
Loving is Giving

Prayer from St. Ignatius

Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed the wounds;
To toil and not to seek for rest;
To labor and not to ask for any reward,
Save that of knowing
that I am doing your will.

Prayer of St Ignatius

Soul of Christ, sanctify me
Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from the side of Christ wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Permit me not to be separated from Thee
From the wicked foe defend me
at the hour of my death call me
and bid me come to Thee
That with Thy saints I may praise Thee
For ever and ever. Amen.

Sing: Take Lord Receive

Selfishness is slavery to the evil
one

Jesus showed us His selflessness

“Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in a love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.”
Pedro Arrupe

Discerning the Spirits

The Holy Spirit leads us to peace, love
and joy —

                The more one advances in the mystical
                    life — the more we are so
                    one in God

emptying ourselves as Christ on
the cross

Letting go of inordinate attachments —

Trust in God

Love for God and others

Sin hurts our relationship with
God and others

                The evil one wants us sad, divided
                    disharmonious, isolated —
                    selfish - angry, prideful,
                    envious, hateful

                Being filled by God
                To be filled by God
                    we must be open
                    we can't be clogged
                    selfish

Stars are beautiful —
they shine and give light

    They are
    They give light —
    They are full of light

                Being full of light for us comes from
                    being filled with God's life
                    in us

                Remember the talents message —
                    do we take our talents
                    bury them and give stingily to others
                    or punish others and give
                    nothing at all

                Christ came to show us how He gave
                    He gave to His death on the cross —
                    He gave His body
                    He gave His Blood

                    His body was beaten
                    He gave —
                    Christ taught us about giving
                    Christ taught us to be a servant

Sing: Come to me Lord and possess my soul

                Take Lord and receive all my liberty —
                my memory, my understanding and
                my entire will — all I have and possess.
                Thou has given all to me.
                To Thee, Oh Lord, I return it
                All is Thine —
                Dispose of it wholly according
                    to Thy will —
                Give me Thy love and Thy grace,
                for this is sufficient for me —

How can you change — when you
won't ever look at your faults —

From St. Ignatius

                Man is created to praise, reverence
                    and serve God our Lord, and by this
                    means to save his soul.

                    I was in Florida this Week and
                three teenagers were killed in
                an accident — speeding at 2:30AM
                2 were 18 years old and one
                was 16 years old. Their layout
                is today in Church — casket closed —

                    The spiritual exercises are to lead us
                from self will and excessive attachment
                into freedom — to live as the sons
                of God — knowing, loving and serving
                God — To help us to live according
                to God's will — where-in lies our
                happiness.

                    God created the world and
                    Adam and Eve rebelled
                against God —

God has sent His Son to redeem
the world —

                    We are to reflect in God's plan
                for us and how we fit into
                this plan to help souls go to heaven

Matthew 28: 19-20

Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teach them to observe all the commands I gave you. And look, I am with you always; yes, to the end of time.’

Psalm 19: 2-5

day discourses of it to day,
night to night hands on the knowledge.

No utterance at all, no speech,
not a sound to be heard,
but from the entire earth the design stands out,
this message reaches the whole world.

High above, he pitched a tent for the sun,
who comes forth from his pavilion like a bridegroom,
delights like a champion in the course to be run.

Matthew 9: 13

Go and learn the meaning of the words: Mercy is what pleases me, not sacrifice. And indeed I came to call not the upright, but sinners.’

Psalm 118: 4-5

Let those who fear Yahweh say,
‘His faithful love endures for ever.’

In my distress I called to Yahweh,
he heard me and brought me relief.

John 10: 14

I am the good shepherd;
I know my own
and my own know me

James 1: 18

By his own choice he gave birth to us by the message of the truth so that we should be a sort of first-fruits of all his creation.

Matthew 5: 7-8

Blessed are the merciful:
they shall have mercy shown them.

Psalm 110: 4-5

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.

Revelation 3: 20

Look, I am standing at the door, knocking. If one of you hears me calling and opens the door, I will come in to share a meal at that persons side.

Psalm 84: 9

God, our shield, look,
and see the face of your anointed.

Mark 11: 23-24

In truth I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, "Be pulled up and thrown into the sea," with no doubt in his heart, but believing that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. I tell you, therefore, everything you ask and pray for, believe that you have it already, and it will be yours.

Sing: Immaculate Mary

Te Deum

Psalm 129: 7

never to fill the reaper's arm nor the binder's lap.

1 John 3: 2

My dear friends,
we are already God’s children,
but what we shall be in the future
has not yet been revealed.
We are well aware that when he appears
we shall be like him,
because we shall see him as he really is.

Matthew 5: 8-10

Blessed are the pure in heart:
they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
they shall be recognised
   as children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted
   in the cause of uprightness:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.

Mark 7: 31-37

Returning from the territory of Tyre, he went by way of Sidon towards the Lake of Galilee, right through the Decapolis territory. And they brought him a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech; and they asked him to lay his hand on him. He took him aside to be by themselves, away from the crowd, put his fingers into the man's ears and touched his tongue with spittle. Then looking up to heaven he sighed; and he said to him, 'Ephphatha,' that is, 'Be opened.' And his ears were opened, and at once the impediment of his tongue was loosened and he spoke clearly. And Jesus ordered them to tell no one about it, but the more he insisted, the more widely they proclaimed it. Their admiration was unbounded, and they said, 'Everything he does is good, he makes the deaf hear and the dumb speak.'

"Be opened"

Isaiah 50: 4c-5

Morning by morning
he makes my ear alert
to listen like a disciple.
Lord Yahweh has opened my ear
and I have not resisted,
I have not turned away.

O God grant us mercy and forgiveness —

O God help us to be holy —

There is a time for everything —

                We are here to die to those things
                    not likened to God and live
                    more the resurrected life —

                There is a time to give —
                    we want to do God's will —
                    this is our guide —
                    We are to be formed more and
                        more in the image and
                        likeness of God

                To be molded likened to Jesus —
                To walk in the light —
                To be open —
                To be filled by God —
                To go to Church to be filled and to spread
                    His light to others —

Mark 2: 18-22

John’s disciples and the Pharisees were keeping a fast, when some people came to him and said to him, ‘Why is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not? Jesus replied, ‘Surely the bridegroom’s attendants cannot fast while the bridegroom is still with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. But the time will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then, on that day, they will fast. No one sews a piece of unshrunken cloth on an old cloak; otherwise, the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and the tear gets worse. And nobody puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins too. No! New wine into fresh skins!’

                I saw a Curious George show and the
                    snake in it shed its skin —
                    We are to die to the things not likened
                        to God to live more the resurrected
                        life in Him —

Proverbs 31: 30-31

Shin      Charm is deceitful, and beauty empty;
                the woman who fears Yahweh is the one to praise.

Taw       Give her a share in what her hands have worked for,
                and let her works tell her praises at the city gates.

James 1: 17-18, 21-22, 27

all that is good, all that is perfect, is given us from above; it comes down from the Father of all light; with him there is no such thing as alteration, no shadow caused by change.

By his own choice he gave birth to us by the message of the truth so that we should be a sort of first-fruits of all his creation.

so do away with all impurities and remnants of evil. Humbly welcome the Word which has been planted in you and can save your souls. But you must do what the Word tells you and not just listen to it and deceive yourselves.

Pure, unspoilt religion, in the eyes of God our Father, is this: coming to the help of orphans and widows in their hardships, and keeping oneself uncontaminated by the world.

John 6: 60-69

After hearing it, many of his followers said, ‘This is intolerable language. How could anyone accept it?’ Jesus was aware that his followers were complaining about it and said, ‘Does this disturb you? What if you should see the Son of man ascend to where he was before?

    ‘It is the spirit that gives life,
    the flesh has nothing to offer.

    The words I have spoken to you are spirit
    and they are life.

‘But there are some of you who do not believe.’ For Jesus knew from the outset who did not believe and who was to betray him. He went on, ‘This is why I told you that no one could come to me except by the gift of the Father.’ After this, many of his disciples went away and accompanied him no more.

Then Jesus said to the Twelve, ‘What about you, do you want to go away too?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the message of eternal life, and we believe; we have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.’

                Suffering brings us to our knees —

                We see God's hand touching us in
                    death —
                We must embrace we are going to
                    die —
                What happens after a person
                    dies?
                The priest said on the other
                    side of the casket —

God has a plan for us
God wants us to love — not hate —

                We are unique — God gave each
                    of us a call to do a certain
                    work — no one can contribute
                    as God called us to

Life is a gift —

                    God created us to serve Him —
                    We do not even own our own bodies
                    We are here to serve God —
                    The world wants us to forget this Plan
                        God has for us
                    The devil wants us selfish —
                    We are here to be converted — to
                        change — to die to those
                        things not likened to God, to be
                        more likened to Him —

                We are to be disciples of Jesus —
                    listening to Him and responding
                    to God's call to us and the Plan
                    of the Father —
                    to say "yes" as Mary said "yes" to
                        God the Father's Plan for why
                        He created us

Ask God for the grace to follow this plan —
Ask God for the grace to serve Him

Why did God make me?

                God called me by name
                God wants me humble, obedient to Him —
                God wants me to obey the commandments —
                God wants me to be meek and tender of heart —
                    not combatal —

God called me
God gave me talents

Jesus washed the feet of His disciples
Jesus gives us the Eucharist

John 15: 14-17

You are my friends,
if you do what I command you.
I shall no longer call you servants,
because a servant does not know
the master’s business;
I call you friends,
because I have made known to you
everything I have learnt from my Father.
You did not choose me,
no, I chose you;
and I commissioned you
to go out and to bear fruit,
fruit that will last;
so that the Father will give you
anything you ask him in my name.
My command to you
is to love one another.

Jesus obeyed the will of His Father
"Thy will be done"

Matthew 26: 30-46

After the psalms had been sung they left for the Mount of Olives. Then Jesus said to them, ‘You will all fall away from me tonight, for the scripture says: I shall strike the shepherd and the sheep of the flock will be scattered, but after my resurrection I shall go ahead of you to Galilee.’ At this, Peter said to him, ‘Even if all fall away from you, I will never fall away.’ Jesus answered him, ‘In truth I tell you, this very night, before the cock crows, you will have disowned me three times.’ Peter said to him, ‘Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.’ And all the disciples said the same.

Then Jesus came with them to a plot of land called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, ‘Stay here while I go over there to pray.’ He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him. And he began to feel sadness and anguish.

Then he said to them, ‘My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake with me.’ And going on a little further he fell on his face and prayed. ‘My Father,’ he said, ‘if it is possible, let this cup pass me by. Nevertheless, let it be as you, not I, would have it.’ He came back to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, ‘So you had not the strength to stay awake with me for one hour? Stay awake, and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.’ Again, a second time, he went away and prayed: ‘My Father,’ he said, ‘if this cup cannot pass by, but I must drink it, your will be done!’ And he came back again and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy. Leaving them there, he went away again and prayed for the third time, repeating the same words. Then he came back to the disciples and said to them, ‘You can sleep on now and have your rest. Look, the hour has come when the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up! Let us go! Look, my betrayer is not far away.’

Mark 14: 26-42

After the psalms had been sung they left for the Mount of Olives. And Jesus said to them, 'You will all fall away, for the scripture says: I shall strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered; however, after my resurrection I shall go before you into Galilee.' Peter said, 'Even if all fall away, I will not.' And Jesus said to him, 'In truth I tell you, this day, this very night, before the cock crows twice, you will have disowned me three times.' But he repeated still more earnestly, 'If I have to die with you, I will never disown you.' And they all said the same.

They came to a plot of land called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, ‘Stay here while I pray.’ Then he took Peter and James and John with him. And he began to feel terror and anguish. And he said to them, ‘My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here, and stay awake.’ And going on a little further he threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, this hour might pass him by. ‘Abba, Father!’ he said, ‘For you everything is possible. Take this cup away from me. But let it be as you, not I, would have it.’ He came back and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, ‘Simon, are you asleep? Had you not the strength to stay awake one hour? Stay awake and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.’ Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. And once more he came back and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy; and they could find no answer for him. He came back a third time and said to them, ‘You can sleep on now and have your rest. It is all over. The hour has come. Now the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up! Let us go! My betrayer is not far away.’

Judas Betrayed Jesus
Jesus was arrested

We are to obey God's will

Matthew 8: 21-23

Another man, one of the disciples, said to him, ‘Lord, let me go and bury my father first.’ But Jesus said, ‘Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.’

Then he got into the boat followed by his disciples.

John 4: 34

But Jesus said: My food is to do the will of the one who sent me, and to complete his work.

John 6: 38

because I have come from heaven, not to do my own will, but to do the will of him who sent me.

Some angels fell —
they said "I will not serve"

Revelation 12: 7

And now war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the dragon. The dragon fought back with his angels,

Revelation 20: 9-10

They came swarming over the entire country and besieged the camp of the saints, which is the beloved City. But fire rained down on them from heaven and consumed them. Then the devil, who led them astray, was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where the beast and the false prophet are, and their torture will not come to an end, day or night, forever and ever.

Adam and Eve disobeyed God
We are to obey God

"What have I done for Christ?"
"What am I doing for Christ?"
"What ought I to do for Christ?"

Pray for the grace to obey God —

Romans 1: 18 - 2: 11

The retribution of God from heaven is being revealed against the ungodliness and injustice of human beings who in their injustice hold back the truth. For what can be known about God is perfectly plain to them, since God has made it plain to them: ever since the creation of the world, the invisible existence of God and his everlasting power have been clearly seen by the mind's understanding of created things. And so these people have no excuse: they knew God and yet they did not honour him as God or give thanks to him, but their arguments became futile and their uncomprehending minds were darkened. While they claimed to be wise, in fact they were growing so stupid that they exchanged the glory of the immortal God for an imitation, for the image of a mortal human being, or of birds, or animals, or crawling things.

    That is why God abandoned them in their inmost cravings to filthy practices of dishonouring their own bodies- because they exchanged God's truth for a lie and have worshipped and served the creature instead of the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen

    That is why God abandoned them to degrading passions: why their women have exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural practices; and the men, in a similar fashion, too, giving up normal relations with women, are consumed with passion for each other, men doing shameful things with men and receiving in themselves due reward for their perversion.

    In other words, since they would not consent to acknowledge God, God abandoned them to their unacceptable thoughts and indecent behaviour. And so now they are steeped in all sorts of injustice, rottenness, greed and malice; full of envy, murder, wrangling, treachery and spite, libellers, slanderers, enemies of God, rude, arrogant and boastful, enterprising in evil, rebellious to parents, without brains, honour, love or pity. They are well aware of God's ordinance: that those who behave like this deserve to die-yet they not only do it, but even applaud others who do the same.

So no matter who you are, if you pass judgement you have no excuse. It is yourself that you condemn when you judge others, since you behave in the same way as those you are condemning. We are well aware that people who behave like that are justly condemned by God. But you-when you judge those who behave like this while you are doing the same yourself-do you think you will escape God's condemnation? Or are you not disregarding his abundant goodness, tolerance and patience, failing to realise that this generosity of God is meant to bring you to repentance? Your stubborn refusal to repent is only storing up retribution for yourself on that Day of retribution when God's just verdicts will be made known. He will repay everyone as their deeds deserve. For those who aimed for glory and honour and immortality by persevering in doing good, there will be eternal life; but for those who out of jealousy have taken for their guide not truth but injustice, there will be the fury of retribution. Trouble and distress will come to every human being who does evil-Jews first, but Greeks as well; glory and honour and peace will come to everyone who does good-Jews first, but Greeks as well. There is no favouritism with God.

Sin is hurting our relationship
with God —

Sin is ingratitude to God

Matthew 25: 26-31

But his master answered him, "You wicked and lazy servant! So you knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered? Well then, you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have got my money back with interest. So now, take the talent from him and give it to the man who has the ten talents. For to everyone who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough; but anyone who has not, will be deprived even of what he has. As for this good–for–nothing servant, throw him into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth."

‘When the Son of man comes in his glory, escorted by all the angels, then he will take his seat on his throne of glory.

                How can we hurt our relationship with
                    Jesus who loves us so much He
                    gives us Himself in the Eucharist —

Jesus gives us confession because He
wants us so one with Him —

                When we hurt our relationship with God
                    we are miserable — because what
                    makes us happy is union with God —

The more deeply united to God the happier
we are —

                The more we sin, hurt others — we
                    hurt our relationship with God and
                    we are miserable when we are
                    not close to God

                What we do to others, we do to God —
                God intends us to love Him and love
                    others —

                When we are selfish and isolated —
                    hurting others — we are
                    miserable, we hurt our
                    relationship with God

Song: Why Do We Hurt the Ones we Love

Twelve Steps of AA

                Here are the steps we took, which are suggested as a program of recovery:

                    1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol, that our lives had
                            become unmanageable.

                    2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

                    3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God
                         as we understood Him.

                    4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

                    5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact
                        nature of our wrongs.

                    6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

                    7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

                    8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to
                        make amends to them all.

                    9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to
                        do so would injure them or others.

                  10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong
                        promptly admitted it.

                  11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious
                        contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge
                        of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

                  12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps,
                        we tried to carry this message to alcoholics,
                         and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

                Prepare for a good confession
                    Admit our faults
                    Ask for forgiveness
                    Tell God we don't want to hurt
                        Him and others again
                    Forgive those who hurt us —

Let go of unfinished, hurtful
relationships and forgive —

Empty ourselves of unforgiveness
jealousies, hatred, envy —

Ask God for grace to love Him and
others

Song: Give Me Your Heart oh Jesus

                We are called by God to listen to the
                    Teacher Jesus —
                    to be disciples of Jesus —
                    disciples listen —
                    when we quit listening we
                        cease to be a disciple

                We are to build the Kingdom of God
                    in our hearts — being disciples
                    of love —
                    loving God and loving others

                We are to build the Kingdom of
                    God — not see through our
                    distorted vision but with the
                    vision of God —

                    We are to plan for the beatific
                        vision by trying to see
                        more and more through the eyes
                        of God

God help me to see through
Your eyes

Know with Your Heart and

Act as You act in me.
Jesus 4-1-2009

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.

Let's look at Mary's "yes"

Luke 1: 26-56

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?’ The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God. And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God.’ Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her.

Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could into the hill country to a town in Judah. She went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. She gave a loud cry and said, ‘Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord? Look, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.’

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

    Mary stayed with her some three months and then went home.

We see the Father's Plan —
He sent Jesus

Jesus was conceived in the womb of
Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit

                Jesus took flesh —
                    think of this mystery
                    think of His love for us
                    think of His obedience to the Father's will

                Christ was born a baby —
                    in poverty in Bethlehem —
                    the little King —
                    the King of heaven and earth

                We can say yes to God and try to live a more
                    holy life or
                    we can rebel against God's will for
                    us

Two Standards —

Satan's — Jesus' humility

                Discipleship - is humble submission
                    to the will of God —
                    listening to God

Luke 8: 19-21

His mother and his brothers came looking for him, but they could not get to him because of the crowd. He was told, 'Your mother and brothers are standing outside and want to see you.' But he said in answer, 'My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and put it into practice.'

We meditate on the 3 classes of men
of St. Ignatius

Do we do a work that promotes satan's kingdom —
or God's Kingdom

                Do we purely work in humility —
                    not attached to inordinate attachments
                    out of love for God
                    out of service to build God's Kingdom —

                Do we keep the vision of God before us —
                    serve, work for building what
                    God wants or
                    do we try to "save face"
                    do we try to "promote ourselves"
                    do we work out anger — unfinished
                        business, jealousies —

                Do we act for the honor and glory
                    of God because we
                    love Him so much and want
                    to serve Him

                Pray through the intercession of Mary
                    to place us under the standard
                    of her Son

Read the Discernment of Spirits —

                    Are we listening to the Holy Spirit that leads
                        us to peace, love and joy —
                        doing God's will —

                    Do we listen to satan —
                        that leads us to isolation,
                        disharmony, sadness,
                        misery, willfulness —
                        not serving and loving God and others

                Jesus calmed the storm
                Jesus walked on the water —
                Jesus showed us His miracles and
                Jesus had enemies because they
                    didn't want to loose power
                Jesus expelled demons, Jesus fed
                    the people, Jesus taught the
                    people —

See Jesus transfigured —
hear the voice of the Father —

Matthew 17: 5

...‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’

                Jesus showed them Himself transfigured
                    after He did the miracles and
                    we can ponder the power of the Divine God

                    through baptism
                God feeds this life with the Eucharist

                Jesus did the will of the Father —
                    Jesus suffered the bitter passion and
                        was crucified doing the Father's
                        will

Jesus rose on the 3rd day —
Jesus gives us this sharing in His life

John 19: 25-27

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

John 20; 19-21

In the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, ‘Peace be with you,’ and, after saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord, and he said to them again, ‘Peace be with you.

‘As the Father sent me,
so am I sending you.’

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.

Romans 8: 18-25

In my estimation, all that we suffer in the present time is nothing in comparison with the glory which is destined to be disclosed for us, for the whole creation is waiting with eagerness for the children of God to be revealed. It was not for its own purposes that creation had frustration imposed on it, but for the purposes of him who imposed it—with the intention that the whole creation itself might be freed from its slavery to corruption and brought into the same glorious freedom as the children of God. We are well aware that the whole creation, until this time, has been groaning in labour pains. And not only that: we too, who have the first–fruits of the Spirit, even we are groaning inside ourselves, waiting with eagerness for our bodies to be set free. In hope, we already have salvation; in hope, not visibly present, or we should not be hoping—nobody goes on hoping for something which is already visible. But having this hope for what we cannot yet see, we are able to wait for it with persevering confidence.

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.

I Love You

April 13, 1994

Words of Jesus. Read before the Tabernacle.

Jesus: How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the Cross.

    Do you know I am truly present there? Do you know that God waits every day for you in the tabernacle? Do you comprehend even a minute amount of My love? You will never know of how I love you on earth.

    I, Jesus, truly the Son of God, came to earth a man and suffered a brutal death for love of you. I love you so much! I remain with you this day. I long for your love. I want you to come and be with Me in front of the tabernacle. I wait, I yearn for you to come and whisper your love to Me. I am a person and I love you this day, with such an ardent on-fire love! No human could ever compare a speck to My love for you.

    I wait, little ones, in the tabernacle. I wait for you to come and receive Me in Communion. I want you to want Me so much you cannot wait to come and receive Me. I want to be the love, the center of your life!

    I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am writing to you this day. I want to possess your very soul and live in you. I have all you need, sweet ones. Oh, you are so blind! I long for your union with Me. I wrote the book of love. I instituted it, yet you go to the world for your love and do not even come to Me! Oh, I love you, little ones. Little ones, beloved of the Father, loved by the Holy Spirit, mothered by My very own mother! What more can I say? The rest is up to you!

    I give you your will with such love and I want your love freely given. I am God. What do you think you could ever need that I do not give you? I am the Savior of this world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I am God. I have all you ever will need!

    Surrender this life to Me. Pray My Prayer for Union with Me. I want to possess your soul and operate from your very being. I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am Who am. I died and rose on the third day.

    Harken to My call, harken to My pleading. Spend your days in love with Me. Nothing matters unless it is rooted in Me and rooted in My love. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I love you with the tenderest love. I am waiting this day for just you, My beloved one. Come to Me for I am the tenderest of all hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

- God's Blue Book,
Volume 2 April 13, 1994

From Blue Book I

To The Reader

Jesus wants to share His love with you. He comes in these letters to tell you how you can be in intimate union with Him.

All of us possess everything we need to have an intimate union with Him. He has written to me since October of 1991. For at least a year I sat in front of the tabernacle and begged him to talk to me. I wanted words. I prayed to the Holy Spirit and begged and begged Him to baptize me. After a long and seemingly endless search, trying to hear God, He told me to "feed the hungry." For six weeks this was all I heard. I thought maybe I wasn't feeding my children well or eating well enough myself. What a long wait for three words! At long last one day, as I was writing to Jesus, I received a letter back. He told me, "I am Jesus, Son of the Living God." I did not want to write this but it kept coming-and so many other messages. I knew nothing of anyone getting messages. I wrote them, reluctantly, and hid my notebooks. The letters kept coming-a lot in the night-and I would be awakened by long letters which I felt compelled to get up and write down. I read these letters privately and my life began to change. I felt a new life within me.

He taught me of His fervent love and how truly present He was. He taught me how precious I was to Him. Over and over again He would call me His precious child and tell me how He loved me, how He clothed me with dignity and honor. He told me over and over how He was right by my side always. He is teaching me to give up all fear and to trust in Him. He is teaching me to let go of myself and let Him run my life. I am trying every day to do His will.

He is also telling you in your heart all you need to know. He has all the answers for you there in your heart. You must be silent and go to Him so you can hear His words for you.

Sit in front of the tabernacle and be with Him. Sit and be open and just be with Him. Read these letters there. These are Jesus' love letters to you. Sit in front of the tabernacle and let Him talk to you. Sit silent awhile. Read these letters part of the time. Open any page and He will talk to you. Do not read this like a book, cover to cover. Just open to a page and read that page. That is the way He speaks to you.

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle B     The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A    The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C    In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B    At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

"This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our-selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
