R. God has a Plan for our lives.
Jesus carried our sins on the cross, laden with our sins.
Even Jesus said ”My God, My God why have you abandoned Me."
Jesus suffered, He obeyed His Father's will.
He sweat blood knowing all who would give into Satan, and lose their souls, because of their stubbornness.

In the Scriptures it says, I have put before you life and death, a blessing or a curse.

God created us social creatures, we need each other. We need to turn to Jesus for help.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
Matthew 22: 34-40
The greatest commandment of all
But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees they got together and, to put him to the test, one of them put a further question, 36 ‘Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?’ Jesus said to him, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.’

‘It is not anyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," who will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but the person who does the will of my Father in heaven. When the day comes many will say to me, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, drive out demons in your name, work many miracles in your name?" Then I shall tell them to their faces: I have never known you; away from me, all evil doers!
Mary says: I crush the head of Satan.

Take Up Your Cross
Jesus: Pain? Oh, how I suffered! The pain was so intense, I could hardly bear it. I was so wounded and so covered with blood. Think of a little gash and how it hurts when it begins to bleed. I bled and I bled all over. Such intense pain. Every time you experience pain, think of Me and how minute your little pain is. There was not a place on My body that was not covered with blood. There were deep wounds all over Me. My head throbbed from the crown they had placed on Me and I was forced to carry a big cross so heavy, I scarce could move it on My shoulder. My shoulder ached so badly I felt as if it was constantly breaking by the weight of the cross. But I carried it and pushed on My way. If I stopped, I was poked and pushed and hit. The crowd jeered and they forced Me on My way. What crime had I committed? Why was I forced to endure such torture? It was out of love of you that I continued that journey. I was God. I could have stopped at any moment. I was obedient to death to the demands of My Father.
Pain, child? I suffered so much for love of you! This is how I love you at this moment. In all that befalls you you must know at every moment that I know exactly what you are suffering. There is nothing that happens in your life without My consent and it comes from Him Who loves you.
Take your crosses and truly endure them. Accept them. Know that everything that happens in your life I have allowed. Accept it with the love with which I give it. You are being taught in that pain. You are suffering for yourselves and others. I endured all that pain. Did I once say, "Father, take it away?" I am your model. I showed you the way. I took it all, every last wound, every kick and smack and vileness. I took My cross and I carried it without a word. This is what I ask of you. Know that when you are experiencing pain or suffering, or being taunted by those around you, look to the Master for your course of action. I took it all, every last wound, and accepted it to My death. I did not say, "Oh, how awful." I did not complain. I walked in silence that bumpy road with a heavy cross, with My mother suffering by My side and I never complained. I accepted it all for love of you.
Carry your crosses, little ones. They are gifts from Me. Do not look for an explanation or a way to get rid of them. I will take them when I think you have had enough. It is in suffering that you experience My life more fully. It is in suffering that I speak to you in a special way. Endure it. I know every ache and pain you are experiencing. I am this close to you! Your pain may save a soul dead in sin or get a soul from purgatory. Accept all I send you and don't complain. A lot of the pain is enhanced by your rejection. A lot of your lessons are lost by your refusal to see that crosses come from Me. I give you crosses to share in My suffering. I love you so much, little ones. Know how personal I am with you: the very hairs of your head are numbered. Come close to Me and look into My eyes. I am truly here with you at every single moment. Think of Me as a person, but I am closer than any person could ever be! I am there and I know your every breath and I care about your every breath. Who could even do this for another? Others would have to sometimes think of themselves.
I am God and I can think of you at every instant. I am so close to you you do not have any comprehension. It is not a myth. I am truly present to you at every instant. Feel My presence. Make Me alive to you. Experience all I have to give you. You will know Me as your personal Jesus the more you read and re-read these letters. I write them to each of you. Only God could love you each this way. Focus on Me and you and how close I am to you. I love you so, little one. Whence you go you never walk alone. I walked a road of torture that led to My death for love of you! When will you realize what I say is true? When will you know how close I am to you and embrace Me as I so desire? You hold yourself back because you do not focus on My love for you. I would walk that path this day for you. I love you the same this moment as I did then. Oh, little one, you want to put your little crosses down so fast. Hold them and walk awhile with Me down the road to Calvary. Be by My side and share a little in how intently I trod out of love of you.
I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I am alive in this room with you. I am by your side. A toothache, you say--what pain! Accept your pain. I want you to feel that pain now. It will go away.* It is so little. Heartache I know, heartache to love each of My children so much and be ignored or put at arm's length! Do you know how it is to love another and not have their love? I long for your love with Me, but you are busy. You do not have the time to be with Me while I await thee. I am an ardent lover Who waits for each of My children to come and experience this great love. You stay away from Me Who is always waiting and you search this barren desert for that which I have to give you. I watch you in this search and want you to come home to My heart. I am waiting for you, little one. Don't keep yourself from Me. Remember how I suffered for love of you. When you feel a pain, remember the pain I suffered for love of you. That is how I love you this very day. Take your cross and walk with Me. Come and be with Me. I have that which your hungry soul craves.
I am your loving Jesus. I love you, child. You do not know. I wait to be closer to you. You must see Me as this personal and this alive in your life! Oh, sweet one, I love you to My death and I love you this way today. I lament My children lost in darkness. I want to be united to you. Come and make Me the center of your life. I wait for you!
R. *My toothache is gone!

This rosary was received live and transcribed from the recording. All of these meditations have been discerned by Fr. Edward Carter S.J.
Sorrowful Mysteries
The Agony in the Garden
1.
Jesus: I have asked you to pray for a special intention in this rosary. I am Jesus. Bring your heart to Me. Open your heart wide that you may hear all that I wish to speak to you. Do not be afraid. Do not be anxious for I come to you with My heart ablaze and on fire. And I will give to you My peace in your heart. You must open your heart. You must have faith. You must listen with a heart that is filled with love. Put aside all bitterness within your heart and let Me speak to you. I will fill you with My Divine love.2.
R. How many times in great agony I went to Holy Cross-Immaculata Church, in such suffering knowing what Jesus and Mary told me and being unable to deliver the message with the intensity that I knew within my heart. I hung over the rail at Immaculata Church and I felt many times, as Jesus allowed me to feel His emotions as He was in the garden. Think of how it would be to know all that God knew, to be God, to know all things and out of greatest love to give Yourself to men, to creatures and to be ignored and forgotten and unloved by them. Let us think deeply of the pain of Jesus in the garden. Jesus who is all love and who is treated by audacious men with such ingratitude and indifference. And His Heart was consumed with such love for these men that He wanted to give Himself to them in great love. And He could see before Him all of the times that they would turn away, that they would reject Him, that they would use His name in vain, that they would hate Him, that they would hate Him in others. And He calls us to love. He saw them with all their hateful hearts in treating one another in such hatred.3.
R. And now let us focus on the Father’s plan for men, the plan of the Father is that we love God with hearts of burning love and on fire and that we love one another, that there is genuine harmony and love among all men, that we are doing everything that we are doing for the honor and glory of God and we harmoniously work with each other to accomplish the task that the Father has called us to. Look at the world today. Look at the school yard, look at the people at work, how their main focus is for themselves. Look at the children, how they are being filled with such poison. Now let us look at the earth the way the Father intends it to be. This is how it will be in the new era. It will be a place where there is immense love between all of us and love of God, such oneness with Him. For everyone will be so kind to one another, we’ll all work together harmoniously and in love.4.
R. So why me? Why does He give this message to me to deliver, why has He given the message to you to deliver? He has called us. He has picked us. He knew that we would respond to His call. The whole world may think that we are crazy but we know that He speaks here, that He is telling us the laments of His Most Sacred Heart, that He is telling us how it really is, that this earth is to be an earth in which men will love God with their whole hearts and love each other with a deep brotherly love that the Father intends. This is reality. Men in their willfulness have decided to do all the vile things that they are doing to God and to his brothers. The Father has spoken and He has spoken today. He is behind us at every move to try to promote the love of the Sacred Heart across this earth. He will stand behind us in all of the endeavors, in all of our endeavors to help spread the consecration to the church, the family, and the school. I am not afraid for I heard the Father speak to me today. I heard a voice and He said, “I am the Father.” And He said no matter what anybody does, that we have to deliver the message, to do what He is directing us to do, and that He would protect us, that he would guard us, and that His plan will unfold because of His great love for men. He wants all men to be in heaven with Him.5.
R. And so how will it be? We may be persecuted by those that surround us, in our family, by our friends. We may be persecuted but in our hearts we know, we know the reality that God is truly speaking to us and we know that many souls will be lost if we do not answer this call. God is speaking to us. We must have faith and believe what He is saying and do what He is telling us to do to help to spread the love of His Sacred Heart to this world.6.
R. And so Jesus knelt in the garden and His anguish was so great that His sweat became as great drops of blood on the ground.7.
R. We see especially in the mysteries of the rosary how Jesus and Mary complied to the will of the Father, always the will of the Father. From the first mystery to the last mystery, we see how Mary always complied to the Father’s will.8.
R. I see the angel appear to Mary and ask her to be the Mother of God and she says “yes.” She carried the child Jesus. He was born in such poverty. We see the life of Mary and how she always complied to His will. Do we see in these Sorrowful Mysteries how Jesus always complied to the will of the Father? He was in the garden and He saw before Him all the sufferings that He would undergo. He knew everything in vivid detail. He knew the anguish of His heart and the great love that He had for men and He obeyed the will of the Father to His death on the cross. He obeyed the Father.9.
R. And so how does it feel? I look around and I see, I see so many people suffering and they do not turn to God. They have a wishy-washy relationship with Him. They have God on their own terms. They have a lip service love with God, but their hearts are burning inside and they are wounded and in pain. And the only thing, the only thing that will heal those wounds is the burning love of God. He is giving to us these messages to spread them to the thousands and millions of people that are walking this earth that have such a weak relationship with God, that have a lip service relationship with God. He is giving us these messages that will turn men’s hearts into a burning love affair with God and it will heal their wounds that are in their hearts.10.
R. Jesus saw in the garden all of the wounds that He would undergo. He knew all those wounds in great detail. He knew the pain and He knew the suffering, but He opened Himself up. He allowed Himself to be beaten. He allowed His body to be torn, He allowed His head to be hammered with thorns to His death on the cross. He complied to the will of the Father.Song between decades:
I Love You Jesus
The Scourging at the Pillar
1.
Jesus: And so you walk this barren desert and you spread the messages of My love and you are not thanked and respected. You are persecuted and you suffer but you continue to do this for I am Jesus and I have asked you to do this for Me.2.
R. There is a man and He is an alcoholic. He is suffering and the only road he has to travel is death unless he is helped. There is a mother of a small child, the child is disabled, and she is suffering immensely as she watches her child suffer. But in her heart she does not know where to turn. There are children that are suffering immensely they do not even know why they are sinning but they have been taught such sin on the television. And I see Jesus at the pillar and I see His flesh torn. I see Him opened up wide. He did not care that they continued to beat Him on the same places where He was beaten raw. He continued to allow them to beat Him and He could have at any second stopped these men for He was God. But He complied to the will of the Father. It is the Father’s will for us that we spread the messages of His love and we will be beaten raw. We will not be thanked and loved. But the more that we reach out, the more that those people, the alcoholic man, the child, the mother, the children that are going by the wayside and do not know where to turn for they have been taught so many things by the television, they will receive the seeds that our Lord is planting as we spread them.3.
R. So why would I open myself up wide and allow myself to be beaten in the same place where I have been wounded? Why did our Lord allow these men to tear His flesh? Why did our Lord allow them to open up wide? Because He is telling us that we must not hold back, that we must give ourselves according to the Father’s will. This is His plan for us on this earth, to be His apostles to spread His love. There are so many people in this world that are hurting and suffering, so many people that will have a death far worse than dying on this earth. They will lose their souls for all eternity. He is asking us to reach out with the messages of His love and to give them what their hearts are yearning for.4.
Jesus: Oh, how My beloved world is suffering. Many do not even know the suffering within their own breast. They continue their way and cause themselves suffering but they want God on their own terms. They will not give in and comply with the will of My Father. You must be as little children, with hearts that are filled with love. The Father intends you to be a loving family of brothers and sisters, loving one another and loving God. You will not enter heaven unless you come as a little child.5.
Jesus: Why do you worry? For I have given to you these messages and I have told you that I am with you. The Father has spoken. This is His plan and it will unfold greatly through the Shepherds of Christ Movement. You must be courageous soldiers. You must be soldiers of love. See Me, My beloved ones, as I stand at the pillar and they beat Me. See Me. I am asking you to be courageous, to take the wounds aside, the suffering and persecution, to see the person who is stooped over and bowed down, that may take their life, that may die for alcoholism, that may lose their soul forever, to think of that person and to move steadfastly ahead as My messenger. Yes, I have called you and the Father has called you. I stood at the pillar and I suffered for all souls, for all souls that I want with Me forever in heaven.6.
Jesus: And so you are tired and so you are worn out. And so you say I just can not go on. And you are pressed on by all those around you, in your family. Satan wants to stop you. The messages that you are delivering are the messages that will greatly help to bring about the Reign of My Sacred Heart. I am asking you to be strong soldiers, soldiers of love, to offer yourselves to Me and I will give you My love.7.
R. And so He said He wants a letter from us every day. He wants us to write, “Dear Jesus, this is how I feel. I love You, Jesus. I want to be close to You, Jesus. Today, I do not feel so good in my heart for today I was troubled by this or I was troubled by that. Jesus, will You help Me?” He wants us to write for ten minutes a day and tell Him how much we love Him so that we will have intimate conversation with Him. For how can we be intimate with Jesus, unless we converse with Him intimately. In writing this letter to Him, we converse with Him from the depth of our heart, we share with Him our struggles, our joys, and we share with Him our love. And we open the Blue Book messages, the love letters that He has written for many years before to us to tell us about this technique. So we will open up the love letters and read the love letter that Jesus writes back to us. For ten minutes we should read this love letter so that we truly hear Jesus as He speaks to us, as He helps us to grow more and more in this intimate love relationship with Him.8.
R. And what did He think of when He stood at the pillar and they came with their whips and they tore His flesh. He thought of us in this room today telling Him how much we love Him and opening up our hearts that we will become more deeply involved in our love relationship with Jesus, our Divine Lord.9. Song:
Spirit Song10.
R. I saw Him appear in His picture and He was adorned in such light and He looked as the Divine Mercy Jesus. He was so gorgeous and He was so beautiful and the response to this was after the words that I spoke to Him in the love letter that I wrote to Him. For it is hard to focus on writing a love letter to someone and not say words of love. It is training me in my heart to express my love openly to my Divine Lord. And when I go to Communion, I cry because I feel so close to this person that I have written to.Song between decades:
Give me a heart oh, Jesus
The Crowning with Thorns
1.
R. I hear the laments of Jesus all through the second Blue Book. How He is longing for emotion, how He wants love, how He died for us and how He is treated this day. As you read the second Blue Book, hear the words of Jesus for they were spoken to me with great emotion and great suffering as I heard His words and within my heart, my heart felt as if it was pierced with swords to hear Him call out with such emotion, “Tell them, Rita. Tell them I died for them. What more can I do?” I have heard these words. They have cut through my soul and the words are in that book. When you read the love letters in the second Blue Book, hear the words of Jesus being spoken with deep emotion, calling out to you to deliver the message of His burning love to this world.2.
R. So the King will Reign on His throne. We see Him. He looks as a weak man. He is surrounded by men that pound the thorns into His head, that go up to Him and poke Him, that spit on Him, that stick their sticks into the wounds in His body. See Him there with His hands tied and His head hung down. See Him as He takes all of the persecution and all of the hatred from these hearts of men. This is truly the Almighty God, the Son of God, the King of all kings. He will Reign on His throne forever and ever. He is asking us to help to bring about the Reign of His Sacred Heart in the hearts of men who have hearts now that are wounded, that are suffering, that have years and years of pain from generations past, that are suffering such wounds that they do not know where to turn. And if you give them the love letters of Jesus and they read the love letter where Jesus says to them, “I love you so much, I died for you. I would give myself for you this day. This is the love I have for you. I am the Almighty God.” It can change a heart that is dying and bitter and in pain, to a heart that will be loving and spread love to this world. Where there was hatred and anger, there was love in the heart, when they knew how much God loved them.3.
R. When He is King of the hearts, how will it be? It will be that hearts will love one another, that they will work harmoniously, that they will want to do the will of the Father more than anything else. How is it now in many hearts? Many hearts are hurting, they feel unloved and so they strike out at others and try to make themselves better than others, being very cruel and very mean. How this offends our beloved Father, how this offends Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the God of love, that we are creatures that are given such great goods and look how we return love to God and to each other.4.
R. What heals the wounded heart? The hearts crave the burning love of God. Not a lip service love, not a love that we talked about, not a love that we recite out of our mouth like a machine gun, little words that we throw at God, but realizing He is a Person, He is the Almighty God, that He loved us so much that He gave Himself and that He remains with us this day in the Eucharist.5.
R. And so you deliver the Blue Book to someone and they say, “Oh, you are crazy.” But you know in your heart, you know what it is all about, for the only thing that feels good in our hearts is to be united deeply to God, the only thing that feels good in our hearts is love. When there is any division in our heart at all, it separates us from God. We must get rid of all bitterness and anger towards any person and respond in love or we do not feel good within our heart.6.
R. The devil is hot and heavy on our trail. He wants to trip us up and he wants our hearts to be divided and to think ill thoughts of our brothers. The Father has told us that He is behind all of our endeavors. There is to be no fear in our hearts. We are not to worry, He has given these writings to us to spread to men. We must let the bombs fly around us for we are truly in a spiritual battle. We must let them fly but move steadfastly ahead for everything that we do that the Father and Jesus and Mary tell us to do will help these hurting hearts to know the love of God. For many souls, Mary says, will lose their life forever to the fire of hell because of their sins.7.
R. Look at Jesus now as vividly as you can see Him in your mind. See Him there with His head down and the crown of thorns on His head. See the blood as it drips on to His lap, as it drips down His face. See His hands tied and see them poking at Him, laughing at Him, spitting on Him, such vileness. Did Jesus care what the people thought of Him or did Jesus just accept it all? And in His heart, His Heart was not filled with bitterness and hatred for these men. He is God. He is the God of love. His Heart was consumed with such love that He would have suffered more for these souls that He loved.8.
R. So how can I have this profound love for my brothers and for God? I must pray. I must give myself to Him. It is only through His grace that I will love. For I see myself, how selfish and how focused I am on myself and I know that it is only by His grace that I will love more. The more that I give my heart to Mary, the more the Holy Spirit works on me in her heart to transform me more and more into His image and likeness. It is in her heart that we are saturated with such Divine life. And as we go to the Heart of Jesus, we are given this great Divine love.9.
R. I want the Sacred Heart of Jesus to be the King and Center of my heart. I realize now that the only way this will happen is to do what Mary told us at Fatima. We must give ourselves in complete surrender to the heart of Mary and to the Heart of Jesus. He will be King and Center of our hearts.10.
R. It isn’t as it looks. For we see the real King, the King of heaven and earth. His head is bowed down. He is crowned with a crown of thorns. There is blood dripping from His body. He is covered with wounds and a dirty purple cloth. He is the King. We may look as if we are crazy when we are being persecuted but if our hearts are one with Him, if we are doing His work, if we are connected with Him through the Mass, through the Eucharist, through spending time alone with Him, it will not matter what other people think of us. Jesus did not worry what they were thinking of Him when He sat on His mock throne, when they beat His head with thorns. Jesus remained on the throne and suffered the persecutions.Song between decades:

R. So we see Him and He is surrounded by the men that holler, “Crucify Him! Crucify Him!” And they holler ugly things. A lot of men are surrounding Jesus and He is standing there with His hands tied and He is being persecuted beyond all persecution. And within His Heart is the burning love for these men that are persecuting Him.2.
Jesus: You will be tried. You will be tested. You will stand still and men will persecute you for the devil will cause an explosion around you. In one second as you are standing there, he can create such confusion in your life. You must stay focused on Me. You must dwell in My Heart. You must give yourself to the heart of My Mother and to My Heart. You will suffer, My beloved shepherds. I am Jesus. I have called you to a great mission to help to bring about the Reign of My Sacred Heart. My Heart will Reign in your heart and as My Heart Reigns in your heart you will spread My love to the world that is suffering.3.
Jesus: You will be brought to your knees and many men will say confusing things about you that will point at you and make you want to cry. But you must know that the Father’s plan will unfold despite all the willfulness and confusion, that I am with you at every second, that I am breathing on you and I am giving you strength. I am with you at every single second. Do not be afraid always respond with the deepest love for your attackers.4.
R. But you say, “Oh, Jesus, how can this be because I am so weak?” And He says that we must give ourselves entirely to Him for He is strong and He is Mighty. And it is in total surrender that we will be able to accomplish the task. For it is not us but it is Jesus working in us that will bring about the task that He is asking us to do.5.
R. So what is the greatest thing that we can do on this earth? It is, is it not, to love God? Is it not to love? That is what He has called us to do. The two greatest commandments: to love God and to love one another. Our whole mission is that of love. Our mission is fruitless if there is anything in our hearts but love. For we have been called soldiers of love and we must respond in love. But this takes His grace. We must surrender ourselves. We must tell Him that we know we are completely dependent upon Him. We must see our feelings and tell Him how sorry we are and ask Him to work in us and give us the grace to carry out this great mission, to be a soldier of His love.6.
R. And He looked into the eyes of His beloved Mother. Think of that, the Two Hearts, the Hearts most pure and They looked into each other’s eyes and They saw the love. They were wrapped in this embrace of love. Mary and Jesus are always there. We can always look into Their eyes and know that They are looking back at us with this immense love that will help us to do His work.7.
R. So He carried the cross on His back and it was so heavy. And they poked at Him and He was weak and He fell to the ground. And they poked at Him while He was on the ground and He could hardly get up. But He got up and he continued with the cross bearing down on His back.8.
R. And He showed us the way to new life was that He carried the cross on His back, that He fell to the ground, that He was beaten, He was crowned with thorns, that He was hung on the cross, that He hung there for three agonizing hours and that He died. But then He shows us the resurrection, He shows us the glory to come.9.
R. And so we go to the heart of Mary and she carries us as she carried the child Jesus within her body as she went to visit her cousin Elizabeth. She carries us within her heart this day and we are protected. We are surrounded by her Immaculate Heart. Mary crushes the head of the serpent that is trying to trip us up and to stop us. We must constantly give ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.10.
R. Why should we think that our road is a padded road? Why do we think that there will not be rocks and crevices and that we too will fall for He came and showed us the way. To follow Him is to follow the path that He walked. He walked with a cross on His back. We see His bloody footprints and we follow those bloody footprints. But in our hearts we are filled with immense joy. For we know the love of God, we know Him and that is what we want and crave.Song between decades:
Mary’s Song
Jesus Died on the Cross
1.
R. Look at Him. Look at the man on the cross. See Him as vividly as you can imagine. See Him, a live man, covered with blood at the point of death. See His head hung low and the blood covering His body. And watch Him, watch His mouth move. He is speaking to you. You are the messengers that He has called to carry His message of love into the world for He no longer walks this earth. He lives in us. We are the messengers that will carry His love. Do we see Him hanging on the cross. I saw Him on December the 5th in vivid detail and it was awful. It made me feel so sick inside. And I saw His mouth move and He said that people were not listening to Him. His mouth was moving but we were not hearing what He was saying. How we carry this message of His love out for Him. He truly is speaking to us. We, in this core group, the Father called us this day as His special apostles in the core group to spread this to the far ends of the earth. This is not a joke. This is reality. We must have faith that God is truly communicating to us and asking us to spread His love to the world. And what we do here will make the difference to millions of souls. For this is the center, this is the very center and as we do what we are being asked to do and comply to the will of the Father it is His plan that Jesus is revealing to help bring about the Reign of His Heart. We may not understand, we may be weary, we may fall and we may be persecuted but the plan of the Father will unfold if we obey His directions that He has given to help bring about the Reign of His Heart. There is a man on the cross. He is hanging there. He is at the point of death and His mouth is moving. It is moving and He is delivering this message to you.2.
R. Now see Him there and see the most sorrowful Mother beneath the cross. See her hands pleading up to heaven. See the sword sticking into her heart. She is crying, “Oh, my beloved ones.” As I saw her appear over and over again in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel. She is crying out so many of her little children will be lost in the fires of hell. What we do here to spread the consecration will make the difference into turning children, into children of light. This is her plea at Fatima that we spread the consecration and the rosary to the world.3.
Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried. I cried for the little ones that would be lost forever to the fires of hell. I appear, I appear, I appear, I appear and I am ignored. I appeared at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, the Falmouth farm, at Cold Springs. So many apparitions, to lead men to the Heart of my Son. These are the messages that will greatly bring about the Reign of His Most Sacred Heart. I am calling you to circulate these rosaries and these messages to this world. For the world is hurting and longs for the love of my Son. It is the Mighty Medicine for the wounded hearts. I am Mary, your Mother. I thank you for responding to this call.4.
R. And this is how it is. We are sitting here and we are praying and we do not realize that Jesus and Mary are with us in a special way because They promised that They would be here. So many times I have been praying and not thinking too much and all of a sudden I hear the voice of our Lord speak strongly to me. I go through some experience or I see them and in one second I am taken out of this setting that I am in and I am in Their world. This is how it is in these live rosaries. He is really speaking to us. All through the day we will be faced with a spiritual battle for satan wants us stopped. When we play a live rosary, in a second we are put in this setting in this special gift that They have given to us, Their presence, and we are like in Their world. And we are taken out of this world that is so unlike what He is talking about as we listen to the live rosary. This is a great gift that He wants us to use when we are feeling pressed on, to put in a rosary and to listen for a few minutes and we will be taken out of the world that is so unlike His and we will connect with Him in a special way.5.
R. And so I opened up the Blue Book and as Father Carter says, “Is the glass half full or half empty?” For us, our glass must be half full for He has truly given to us great gifts and we must focus on love. The only answer is love. There is not another way. We can not complain, we can not be irritated at our brothers. If there is something that we must tell someone that something happened, that is different, but we must respond in love in the job that we are given. For what we do here is so important to the souls of so many.6.
Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried for the little ones that would lose their souls and would go to hell forever. This is a death that is far worse than any death on this earth. It is the death of a soul for all eternity.R.
And so we see the alcoholic and we see the person that is suffering and in pain. How does the Heart of Christ look at these people that are suffering? He sees them with great love. He gave Himself to His death on the cross for love of each soul.7.
R. Will we be the Heart of Christ beating in this world this day? Will we look at the person through His eyes? Will He live in us? He will be alive in us. It takes great grace. We must surrender and give ourselves entirely to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We must realize that we have a tainted human nature, that we have imperfections. We must go with humility and ask God to give us all that we need so that we can be His Heart beating in this world today. For this is what He wants of us. He wants to be alive in us. He wants to shine His light on this world through us. We are His apostles that He is sending into the darkness to cast a light on those that are suffering and that need His love.8.
Jesus: I am giving you My love letters and I am asking you to carry them out to this world for many souls are hurting and it may make the difference in their life when they read the letter of My love.9.
Jesus: You will be persecuted. You will be whipped. You will be crowned with thorns. You will be spit on. You will stand and many around you will tell you that you are wrong. But in your heart you will know that I have spoken to you and the Father has spoken to you. You are the apostle of Mary to carry out this mission to this world, to carry out her pure and tender love.10.
R. Mary, Queen of apostles, help us.
Message before the Glory Be:
R.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, Reign in our hearts that we will go into the world and that Your Heart will beat within us, that we will shed Your light in the darkness, that we will carry out whatever the Father wishes us to do, that we will not be afraid, that we will know that there is a man on a cross and that He gave Himself for love of us. We will know that the Father is behind us no matter who talks about us, no matter who tries to cause confusion, we will know that our job is to read the message and our job is to respond in love and to let the Father, Jesus and the Blessed Mother take care of the other things.Song:
A Song from JesusJesus:
I am pleased with all of the work that you have done in this movement for many souls are experiencing My great love. I thank you from My burning Sacred Heart, My beloved ones, and I ask you to continue and to be strong, to spend one hour daily in adoration with Me. If you can not go to the church to spend an intimate hour with Me, in your home it is in that hour that I will strengthen you and I will take you to the depth of My Heart.Rita Ring | ||||

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. $10 |
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. $10 |
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. $10 |
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. $10 |
