R. Today is the day my mom died of breast
cancer when I was 5 years old.
I called my mom, my Saint Alice –
She went to Mass every day –
I have a rosary and her crucifix with
her name on it –
We only have a short time to be here –
I see our lives like a network in which
God will touch so many people.
R. I was the last of 5 in my family – Fr. Joe was the oldest.
R. Can we ever imagine how many people
God can touch through our lives.
(A priest touches so many people.
A religious touches so many people.
A married person touches so many people with all their children.)
God wants us to be open –
like an open pipe so He can reach others –
We must open our hearts and
ask God to use us for what He wants –
Melanie says
"What do you want in my life
today, Lord"
God is so close to us – He loves us so much
and wants us to touch others
with our lives.
Satan wants us to close down, not
trust people, not build relationships,
not do God's will –
Satan wants a person to give themselves
excuses why they should close
down - food and drink, drugs
can affect people and
how they feel –
We must live a balanced life –
Follow God's rules for eating and
being loving with others –
not closed in, not trusting
anyone –
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
R. Here is a writing
"I gave birth to a child and I understand
carrying a child and having their little
heart beat within me.
What is the human heart, it is the
life of the body beating within. When
Christ chooses His Heart as a symbol
of such love He has for us, how could
we ever refuse such a profound
gift given by our Savior, the Son of God.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus – the Heart of
the most love. Jesus a Divine
Person and we know the love of
His Heart and the love of His Mother.
I found a secret hidden in a gold
veil – a treasure of infinite love –
I saw with eyes unveiled behind
a golden mystical veil, Oh to see
the beauty of a golden vision,
sparkling and to know warmth in
our heart, to know presence
and love. AWESOME
July 5, 2000
R. God wants us to know how
He outpours His grace on us and
the world and the Church when
we have great devotion to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Grace poured out for men –
God's lavishing gift to us –
Jesus wants our love in
return. Jesus died for us –
We see the Heart of Jesus and we have
emotion for the Sacred Heart –
Mary says how important
the devotion and reparation is to
the Sacred Heart."
Jesus: I have put you on this earth to love,
to love God and others and yourself
as I want you to love.
I love you so very much.
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.
From Blue Book 12

Introduction
To my dear mother, I dedicate this note to my mother, Alice, for all her prayers for me, for guiding me in the greatest way in my life, from heaven.R.
I dedicate this book to Fr. Carter, my best friend, who has taught me endlessly about our beloved God. I have shared these mystical experiences with Fr. Carter. It is in living in one mind and one heart with each other, united to the Mass, in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, in the Holy Spirit, that we will light the world with the fire of God’s love.
The key message from Fatima is to join in one mind and one heart in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and be united at every moment to the Mass. We unite all our sacrifices to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, all over the world.
We are helping to bring down great grace on the Church and the world when we give our lives as a sacrifice united to the Mass.
The bell tolls at every moment of our lives and graces and mercies are released through the sacrifice of the Mass.
My act of loving at every moment united to the Masses going on around the world is an act of helping souls. I offer my life to the Father in the Holy Spirit, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory, through the powerful intercession of Mary, our spiritual Mother.
Grace and mercy will be spilled out on the earth. God calls us to dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
I thank my daughter Cathy for her endless hours of service. No one can imagine how generously she has given herself to God’s work.
I thank Ellen for her endless hours of typing, manuscript after manuscript, newsletter after newsletter.
R. Sometimes God takes somebody like
my mom at 48, but she was
really holy, I called her,
my Saint Alice –
God took her to Himself! He
loved her so much –
Many people suffer today in their
sickness.
Here is a picture of me and Fr. Carter
at the Faber House 4 days before his death.
4 Days before Fr. Carter's Death
Fr. Carter had a dream.
October 3, 2011
Mysteries of Light
R. I see the light glistening on the ocean —
It is so beautiful even to see how the ocean
changes colors of blue, green all day,
but the sky changes too —
Do you ever see the sky so beautiful as
you do and just are in awe with the
wonder of God —
My heart skips a beat sometimes morning
and night when I see reds and golden reds
of the sky and I want to embrace God so
deeply and thank Him for the gift —
What about the Transfiguration.
I saw Jesus appear to me several times transfigured.
I remember the golden, silver mirror like beauty
from many apparitions in the sanctuary
I can never even explain —
I have seen the golden era and this like golden
'see-through veil' in front of the sanctuary and
I tingle inside to be in this vision and know His
precious gift to me then, letting the
moment be a happening and I am in
that presence of God, in His veil —
I cannot even describe these
things — mirror like beauteous lights
beyond words.
But I remember Mary's image and then Jesus'
face when He would appear at night —
even after Mary's image head was
broken —
The light on His face was golden-red —
indescribable in words and
I could feel heat coming at me as
I knew His presence as He appeared —
Like when Joe guarded the image
at night, beneath the face of Jesus —
and did the priest lists —
R. A miracle it was to me to see this magnificent
wonder, I could never describe —
How do you describe these 5ths?
All 5ths -
Our Lady of Clearwater Florida

R. This building is a special place where
Mary appeared —
R. Light —
Jesus is the Light of the world —
This is real
I have seen visions — so many and I
cannot ever describe them —
or describe even the 1st vision
of His Heart
Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.
His Burning Heart
R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.
I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these letters—to draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:
"Open your heart to the fire of God's love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love."end of writing

good wine until last —
(9) R. Jesus performed this miracle at Cana
at the intercession of His Mother, Mary.
(10) R. Jesus gives us the priests — today as we go to

the Blood of Jesus —
Jesus is there — Chief priest and celebrant —

You shed Your Blood for me and
You give me Yourself today in the
Eucharist —
Wow, Wow, Wow —
He fills me with His life!!
The Kingdom of God
(1)R. I am on a mountain now and I
am meditating about Jesus teaching
the apostles and the people.
(2) R. Jesus came to teach us about the
Kingdom of God —
(3) R. Wow — He gives us His Word, He
gives us Himself in the Eucharist —
Wow He gives us the Bread of Life —
(4) R. Don't you love the priests —
Many priests are really getting
old and dying and
many boys and men aren't
going into the seminary.

Fr. Carter had a dream.
R. Fr. Carter got this message from Jesus.
July 31, 1994
Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

As My Apostles and Shepherds I ask you to encourage all existing Chapters to try to encourage all existing prayer groups to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Encourage all Churches to pray these prayers. It is most urgent that the people of this earth concur with the Father's wishes to begin Prayer Chapters. This is an urgent request from the Good Shepherd. The flock will become one when they have given their hearts to Jesus and Mary. Encourage all priests to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers. Your world will be lighted with great light as the people of this earth pray these prayers.

has asked us to do —

From December 3, 2004
R. Today the Feast of St. Xavier,
First Friday, Jesus appeared to me
as the King on His Throne at the
Cathedral where He told me to go
to Church.
He was smiling and His
mouth moved and moved and moved.
He looked happy and the vision was
all aglow. He gave me a message to sit
in the first pew and He appeared
and talked about 20 minutes, He
was smiling.
(9) R. This message was given to Fr. Carter.
Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus
My dear fellow Associate Members,
Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:
My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.
These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.
I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.
I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.
I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.
This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:
1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
2. For the Pope.
3. For all bishops of the world.
4. For all priests.
5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
7. For all members of the Catholic Church.
8. For all members of the human family.
9. For all souls in purgatory.
end of Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart
(10) R. On October 13, 1994 — 17 years ago
Fr. Carter got this message.
October 13, 1994
The Birth of the Full Ministries
of the Shepherds of Christ
"I wish to share with you part of a message which Jesus gave us on October 13, 1994. The message tells us about the expansion of the Shepherds of Christ movement:
'My beloved priest-companion, today I come to you with another mission. I am asking you to establish Shepherds of Christ Ministries. At My request you have already begun the priestly newsletter, "Shepherds of Christ", and the prayer chapters, Shepherds of Christ Associates...
'I am giving you this message on this day, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, because of the close connection between the Shepherds of Christ movement and the Fatima message. The Fatima message is centered in devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart, especially in consecration to Our Hearts. Shepherds of Christ Ministries is also centered in devotion to Our Hearts. I will use Shepherds of Christ Ministries as a great instrument in helping to bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. When this occurs, My Church and the world will be experiencing the great era of peace promised by My Mother at Fatima.
'Today, then, October 13, 1994, the 77th Anniversary of the Great Apparition at Fatima, marks the birth of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I pour forth the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.'
"Jesus has told us that Shepherds of Christ Ministries includes: the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, Shepherds of Christ Associates prayer chapters, various publications, including books, whatever else Our Lord directs us to undertake.
"As members of Shepherds of Christ Associates, you are an extremely important part of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. You have given great joy to the Heart of Jesus by responding to His invitation to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. As He draws you closer to His Heart and to His Mother's Heart as Associates members, He will fill you with an ever-increasing experience of His love, peace, and joy."
- From In the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Newsletter of Shepherds of Christ Associates

Transfiguration
(1) R. Jesus is the Light of the world —
(2) R. Jesus walked the earth, but
then He began doing His
miracles.
(3) R. Jesus looked like an ordinary
man, but Jesus is
the Divine God —
(4) R. Let's go up Mt. Tabor with
Peter, James and John and
imagine what happened —
(5) R. See Jesus transfigured before
them and hear the voice
of the Father.
‘This is my beloved Son, Listen to him.’
(6) R. Imagine Moses and Elijah
appearing with Jesus and
they are talking to Him —
(7) R. Moses gave us the 10 Commandments
on the tablets from God.
Elijah was a prophet of God —
(8) R. Jesus is Priest, Prophet and King.
He gives us the truth —
God gives us His laws to follow.
(9) R. God created us —
We are special —
We are unique —
We have a purpose in God's Plan —
We should do God's will.
(10) From the Priestly Newsletter
Cardinal Newman said
"... everyone who breathes, high and
low,
educated and ignorant, young and old,
man and woman,
has a mission, has a work. We are not
sent
into this world for nothing; we are not
born at
random. . . God sees every one of us;
He creates every soul, He lodges it in
a body, one by one, for a purpose. He
needs,
He deigns to need, every one of us.
He has an end for each of us... we are
placed in our different ranks and
stations, not to
get what we can out of them for
ourselves, but to
labor in them for Him, as He rejoiced to
do His work,
we must rejoice in ours also."
(Discourses addressed to
mixed congregations)
Institution of the Eucharist
(1) R. Oh my God I love You —
(2) R. Oh my God I adore You
(3) R. Oh my God come to me — I long
and thirst for You —
(4) R. You give us the Bishops
descendants of the Apostles.
2 Peter 1: 16-19
When we told you about the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not slavishly repeating cleverly invented myths; no, we had seen his majesty with our own eyes. He was honoured and glorified by God the Father, when a voice came to him from the transcendent Glory, This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. We ourselves heard this voice from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
So we have confirmation of the words of the prophets; and you will be right to pay attention to it as to a lamp for lighting a way through the dark, until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds.
(5)
Colossians 1: 15-20
He is the image of the unseen God,
the first–born of all creation,
for in him were created all things
in heaven and on earth:
everything visible
and everything invisible,
thrones, ruling forces,
sovereignties, powers—
all things were created through him
and for him.
He exists before all things
and in him all things hold together,
and he is the Head of the Body,
that is, the Church.He is the Beginning,
the first–born from the dead,
so that he should be supreme in every way;
because God wanted all fullness
to be found in him
and through him
to reconcile all things to him,
everything in heaven
and everything on earth,
by making peace through his death
on the cross.

Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people that they are living in the Age of the Two Hearts—that of My Heart and My Mother's heart. My people live in the initial stages of this great era. I call all My people to take up their refuge in My Heart and My Mother's heart. In Our Hearts they will become more and more transformed into My likeness.
"The greatest source for growth in devotion to Our Hearts is the Eucharist. I wish My people to attend Mass often, daily if possible. What a great gift I have given to My people in the Eucharist! Yet many of My people are indifferent to the treasures contained in the Mass. Think of it! My people are privileged to offer the Sacrifice of the Mass together with Me! And yet how many prefer to do other things rather than attend Mass. How this attitude offends My Sacred Heart!
"I long for My people to participate in the Mass and to receive Me worthily! Think of it! I, Who am your God, long to come to you each day! In the Eucharist I come to you in My Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. Present within you, I long to take you close to My Sacred Heart, this Heart which is truly within you. The more you allow Me to do so, the more closely I press you to this Heart. I shower you with its riches. I abundantly give you great graces which increasingly form you in My likeness.
"I am Lord and Master! Please listen to My words. Pray, pray for a deeper understanding of the Mass. In union with Mary, approach Me daily in the Eucharist. I, your God, long to come to you. How much do you long to receive Me?"
Reflection: Everything in the life of the Church, and in the Christian lives of each of us individually, is centered in the Mass. Vatican II, in a few words, makes a powerful statement concerning the Church's Liturgy—at the center of which is the Eucharistic Sacrifice: ". . .in the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the fountain from which all her power flows" [The Documents of Vatican II, Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, No.10 (American Press edition)].
(7)
Lucia's Vision
"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen."
"The grace of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."
God pours out His grace in this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is the greatest gift when God gives Himself to us.
We share with God His life, given to us abundantly in the Mass.
He gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him. The great love affair between God and man: His Holy Mass.
The priest is another Christ to us. It is Christ present, through the priest, celebrating the Mass. We must see Christ in the priest, see Him celebrate the Mass, see His beautiful brown hair, His gentle face, see Him, our Savior. This Jesus Christ that came was born an infant and gave Himself to His death on the cross that we would share His life. See Him now in the Mass, giving Himself in the greatest gift of all. He gives us His divine love and His divine life.
Oh, we thank You for Your life. We know Jesus died and rose and gave us a sharing in His holy life. His life is now abundantly poured, as a fountain to us, especially in the Mass.
Then we hear His word. Let the word of God penetrate our being. Let us feel this Living Word of God. As a two-edged sword, it comes forth with such conviction and love and it penetrates the souls of the faithful with such love. It is food indeed, food for our soul.
He is the Good Shepherd. He speaks to us. He gives us all we want. "Yahweh is my shepherd, I lack nothing." (Ps. 23:1)
He gives us green pastures, and His water pours out and refreshes us. He outpours His grace as a fountain to feed us with His life.
He is a just God, good and kind, all loving, for He is Love. We want for nothing for He outpours His love and His life to us in the Mass. We feast on His Body and Blood and are fed with His Word. We become one in Him and He shares Himself with us.
It is through the Mass celebrated by the hands of a holy priest that we will experience the Mass the way Christ intends. These writings are insights which hopefully will help lead you to the spring of life-giving water, the fountain of love and life He outpours in the Mass.
There will be a new earth when men will see with the light of seven suns. They will know God. A people walking in darkness will see a great light. They will no longer be blind, they will be enlightened, they will love God with the greatest love in the Mass. They will feast on His Body and Blood and will be united as one body in His holy Church through His life given to us in the Eucharist.
We will drink copiously from the fountain of grace which He pours out in the Mass. We will be filled with His love, absorbed with the love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and feasting on His divine life.
We see with the vision of God. We partake in such a union with God. We see with the light the Spirit gives to us. The priest celebrates the Mass and we know God with such an intense knowing in this union. We are saturated with His life flowing from the hands of His consecrated priest.
And I look at Him, the priest, and I see Jesus there. I see Him giving Himself to Me. I see the new and Holy City. I see with such clarity the great gift that God gives to us in the Mass!
We learn how to love in the Mass, for we unite to God. He gives us such an intimate sharing in His divine love that we carry His love out to the world. In this union we know His loving to an intense degree and we carry this love out to others. We share in an intense way in His divine act of loving. He, Who is love, gives Himself to us and we are absorbed in His love and we know intensely how God loves. We are filled with love for God and for each other, for, in the oneness He is loving through us. He gives us lights into His loving capacity and we know His loving power in an intensity we did not know before.
We then pray. We offer up our intentions for this Mass. It is now we who intercede to Him to outpour His grace on us and help us with these intentions.
We pray for this reign of peace when the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and men will fervently love and adore God with burning love. We pray for all souls and the Church and we beg for His help, His love, His grace.
We offer ourselves as a sacrifice. We offer the bread that will become the bread of life.
The priest mixes the water and the wine and we realize how His Divinity mixes with our humanity.
We offer the wine that will become our spiritual drink-His blood.
I give myself to Him and I beg to be cleansed of my sins with the washing of the hands.
"May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of His name, for our good and the good of all His Church."
We ask Him to accept the gifts we want to give Him, we give Him thanks, we lift up our hearts in thanks and praise and we sing out:
"Holy, Holy God, of power and might…" we sing Him praise and thank Him-oh, God we love Thee so much."
My heart is so filled with such awe. I cry because I love Him so much.
Every word in the Mass, I love. The priest consecrates the host and changes it into the Body and Blood of Christ.
Oh, it makes me cry for I am so struck with awe at what happens at the Consecration. I unite in the oneness with the priest, with Christ and with all present, with heaven and earth. I am one in that moment, united in the sacrifice of Christ giving Himself to the Father.
This is the moment when I unite in such oneness with Christ in the purity of Mary's heart. I give myself as a sacrifice. I offer myself to the Father.
The Father looks down and He sees us united to His Son's Sacrifice. It is in this oneness that His grace is outpoured on us, that we die to that which is not like Him and that the Holy Spirit works in the heart of Mary and fills us with His life.
I am in ecstasy as I realize more and more the great gift of love that God gives us in His holy Mass. I am taken to such heights, being wrapped in the presence of God. It is rapture, this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
It is a great gift, experiencing this intense presence of the Almighty God: Through Him, With Him, and In Him.
We pray to the Father the prayer as Jesus taught us and beg, "thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
We pray: "For the Kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever."
We beg for peace in our hearts. We share this peace with one another. Then we beg of the Lamb of God. I want to get down to the ground and beg for His grace, mercy and forgiveness for our sins.
Please, God, I see us as a sinful people. I want the grace and mercy to flow abundantly.
He raises the Host and says: "This is the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world, happy are those who are called to His supper."
We respond: "Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed."
I receive the Almighty God in Communion. All I want is Him. Oh, God, I want you, I adore you, I worship you, I love you.
Oh, for this moment when God gives Himself to me. Oh, God, words do not express this time-this intense presence of You within my being. Oh, sweet Savior, I love You!
You share Yourself so intimately with me. You imprint on my soul a knowing of Your Divine Being that is so intimate in this Communion when You give Yourself to me.
Oh, let our hearts be open to His grace that we may know this great gift more, that we will partake more fully in this greatest act of love with Divinity.
He shares Himself with us, the Almighty God, in such oneness. This is the greatest way to bind us with each other, to unite with each other in the Mass and Communion.
And so I sing the love of God, the love of His Mass. I beg you to pray for the grace that He can teach you in these writings about His most intimate love affair with man, the gift of Himself-the gift He gives us in the Mass.
The Holy Sacrifice, the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally-made-present in the Mass when He gives Himself to us with the greatest love!
And what does He ask in return? He asks that we love one another, that we give Him the glory, the thanksgiving, the adoration that is His due as the Almighty God.
He sends us forth with His blessing to share His most intimate love with all. We go forth as other Christs in the world. For He is alive this day and He lives in us and He gives His love to others through us. We act as channels of His life to one another.
The Mass is the richest source of His life. His life flows through the body, the Church, especially through the Sacraments and the Mass.
Oh Jesus, from the fountain of life that pours forth from Your pierced Heart, give us holy priests whose hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to celebrate the Mass-that there is such oneness between the priest and Christ that His grace will flow copiously.
We thirst for the fountain of life pouring forth from the pierced Heart of Christ. It is His life we seek and find in the Church. It is His love we want and we experience the greatest love affair with God in the Mass.
These books on the Mass are accounts of my intimate love affair with our Almighty God. Many experiences were enlightenments I received in the Mass.
I strongly advise all to pray, to say the Holy Spirit Prayer, the Consecration Prayers, and the Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, before Mass. (These prayers follow this message).
This book is the journey into the red room, the inner chamber of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, through the gateway, the pure and Immaculate Heart of His Mother.
It is in the Mass we give ourselves in such love to our Holy God. He gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him.

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.
