Messenger:
I played a game with one of
the children and it was matching.
The things were identical matches.
God's will can be like that, I
know He wants me to do something
and overall it gives me the greatest
peace in the way I serve Him.
Other ways feel like putting
our shirt on for our pants.
Doing God's will takes prayer
and listening to how He is
leading us in the Spirit.
We must discern the spirits.
Ideas can be given to us from
an evil spirit, from our
own imagination, from the Holy
Spirit.
The way we are being led is
going to ultimately lead us
to loving God more, loving
one another and obeying God's
commandments if it is the will of God.
Dwelling in the pure and
holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary
can help us to do God's will.
Mary obeyed the will of the Father —
Mary is the New Eve.
Jesus is God — Jesus does God's
will — Jesus is the New Adam —
Adam and Eve disobeyed the will of the
Father — we are the tainted
children of Adam and Eve.
Genesis Chapter 3
Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh
God had made. It asked the woman, 'Did God really say you were not to eat
from any of the trees in the garden?' The woman answered the snake, 'We may
eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in
the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under
pain of death." ' Then the snake said to the woman, 'No! You will not die!
God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you
will be like gods, knowing good from evil.' The woman saw that the tree was
good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom
that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave
some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both
of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed
fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.
The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden
in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the
garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. 'Where are you?' he asked. 'I
heard the sound of you in the garden,' he replied. 'I was afraid because I
was naked, so I hid.' 'Who told you that you were naked?' he asked. 'Have
you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?' The man replied, 'It
was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I
ate it.' Then Yahweh God said to the woman, 'Why did you do that?' The woman
replied, 'The snake tempted me and I ate.'
Then Yahweh God said to the snake, 'Because you have done this,
Accursed be you
of all animals wild and tame!
On your belly you will go
and on dust you will feed
as long as you live.
I shall put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
it will bruise your head
and you will strike its heel.'
To the woman he said:
I shall give you intense pain
in childbearing,
you will give birth to your children
in pain.
Your yearning will be for your husband,
and he will dominate you.
To the man he said, 'Because you listened to the voice of your wife and
ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,
Accursed be the soil because of you!
Painfully will you get your food from it
as long as you live.
It will yield you brambles and thistles,
as you eat the produce of the land.
By the sweat of your face
will you earn you food,
until you return to the ground,
as you were taken from it.
For dust you are
and to dust you shall return.
The man named his wife 'Eve' because she was the mother of all those who
live. Yahweh God made tunics of skins for the man and his wife and clothed
them. Then Yahweh God said, 'Now that the man has become like one of us in
knowing good from evil, he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and
pick from the tree of life too, and eat and live for ever!' So Yahweh God
expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he had
been taken. He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden he
posted the great winged creatures and the fiery flashing sword, to guard the
way to the tree of 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.
Messenger:
Adam and Eve ate of the
tree - forbidden to them.
Jesus hung on the tree
in obedience to the Father —
Mary stood below.

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

Messenger:
What good does it do us to
do 100 things that are good
works, but it isn't what
God is asking us to do.
An old woman was cooking
a birthday dinner for her
oldest son. The old woman
prepared his favorite dish
with much love.
How much he appreciated
it. God wants us to be
loving to love Him and love
each other.
God wants us to do our
actions doing God's will
in love.
Jesus gave Himself
to us on the cross in
greatest love.

Jesus speaks: I
held nothing back —
I gave My all.
Do you love like this —
Do you give your all
to Me?
I am truly present in
the Eucharist
and I give you My
Flesh and Blood ——
I remain with you truly
present in the Holy Eucharist.
The devil tempts you to be
ungrateful —
When you realize I am
truly present in the Eucharist —
you will have joy in your
hearts. You will spread
the Good News.
I want the souls of this
earth to make Me —
the Sacred Heart the King
and Center of their lives.
I want them to make Mary
their Queen.
Loving is the answer —
doing God's will in love.
Do you want to be a saint —
Strive to do God's will in love.
From a Lenten Homily, March 24, 2000
Live in the Moment
Today’s Gospel in its story certainly points
ahead
to Jesus in His Passion and death. And as we read passages such as this
during the Lenten season, we are reminded once again that the Church in
her Liturgy of the Word gives us an opportunity to undergo a purification,
an ever deepening cleansing of ourselves so that we may be a more fit
instrument for receiving the great graces which are to be given to us at
the time of the Resurrection memorial on Easter. And so all in all, Lent
is a time of purification to prepare us for ever-greater gifts of the
Lord. It’s a time of self-discipline, a time to renew our efforts to be
self-disciplined in the service of the Lord. Self-discipline is an aspect
of purification. And I suggest that one of the most difficult acts of
self-discipline in the spiritual journey is to concentrate on the present
moment. We have a very strong tendency to disregard the importance of the
present moment by focusing in a wrong way on the past or in a wrong way on
the future. There are proper occasions for thinking of the past and the
future. For example, we have to learn from the past and we have to prepare
for the future, but our great emphasis has to be upon the present. There
is a Latin axiom which says, age quod agis, age quod agis, which
means: do what you are doing, concentrate on the present. And of course we
are familiar with that term in the history of spirituality: the sacrament
of the present moment. And so the discipline of Lent certainly encourages
us to include in a deeper self-discipline a greater determination to get
as much as we can out of the present moment. People with a terminal
illness have an opportunity as they prepare for death for increased
prayer, contrition, love of God. However, some are taken very, very
quickly. But for those who have the opportunity of knowing with some
certainty the time of their death, I’m sure as they look back on their
lives, they are saddened by the many times they did not use time and
opportunities for the service of the Lord properly, and are overjoyed at
those times in which they did use the present opportunity properly. A
great means we have of living in the present properly is a greater focus
upon our Lord. For if I have that awareness of the fact I am united with
Jesus here and now, why should I be concerned so much about the future or
the past? Yes, a great help in living in the present and deriving all the
good we can from it for ourselves and others is an ever greater focus upon
Jesus, because the more I focus upon Jesus and the more I live with Him in
the present moment, the more I am satisfied with the present moment. And
so let us in our Lenten activity resolve to grow in that self-discipline -
which is very difficult at times - to really live in the presence with the
fullness of our being as much as is possible, with the help of God’s
grace. Now is the day of salvation. Now is the day of salvation.

Jesus speaks:
Don't want things that
is not God's will for
you.
You are given so much —
to one much is given —
much will be expected —
I outpour My grace to you
for you to love Me and
others and say thanks —
you can refuse Me
and give into satan.
I give you so many things and
even while you are
enjoying them, some
are criticizing others and
sinning.
Hold on a moment —
How are you recognizing My gift and
How are you praising
your Father in heaven?
Judge not, lest you be judged.
Pray for your brothers and
love them.
I died for your brother.
Do not be in competition
trying to make yourself
better and better than others, DO GOD's WILL
Do God's will in love.

Excerpt from October 14, 1998
Messenger: On July 2, 1996, on Tom's farm, my child was
taking pictures. You told me, Jesus, to have him take two pictures of
Father Carter. In the second picture, Father Carter appeared as a pillar
of light. On July 4, 1996, Our Lady appeared to me and You, Jesus, gave me
the following message.
July 4, 1996
This message was received before a live statue of the Sorrowful Mother
after Communion.
Message from Jesus: "Peace will abound when nations, churches, families
and individuals are consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the
Immaculate Heart of Mary."
"Fr. Carter is a pillar of light to the dark world. This is the
explanation of the photo. It is through him, I will turn darkness to light.
Circulate this message with the picture. Encourage all to consecrate their
hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to
join the Shepherds of Christ Chapters, and the Apostles of the Eucharistic
Heart of Jesus Movement to pray for your Church and your world. This is My
Movement for renewal of the Church and the world, based in consecration,
joining your every act to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying the
rosary, and making reparation to Our Hearts, especially on First Fridays and
First Saturdays. It is through your prayers and sacrifices many souls will
be helped to be saved. Grace will flow from those whose hearts are
consecrated to Our Hearts and the fire of My Love will light up this
darkened world."
As you look at the picture, you see Fr. Carter's arm and hand on your
left. This picture of Fr. Carter was taken July 2, 1996 at the Tuesday
Shepherds of Christ Meeting at Tom Arlinghaus' Farm.
