Excerpt from Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary

July 5, 1994 6:30 p.m.

Messenger: I was told to go to Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center to pray the rosary with my children. There were people in the front of the church, so we decided to pray the rosary in the back before the Sorrowful Mother statue. I had the following vision at the end of the rosary.

The statue of the Sorrowful Mother was lit up as if she had fire around her. The light was very bright. Her whole gown was all-white, but the statue's gown is blue and pink. She was all aglow. It looked like the glow that comes off of a fire. Her face kept changing but remained totally sorrowful-the sorrow of an older woman. She was in such pain and sorrow! (It was hard to explain how she looked-extremely pained!) Her face looked as though she was in such pain that she could hardly bear it.

The vision remained like this for about ten minutes, having begun during the last Hail Mary of the Sorrowful Mysteries of the rosary. She was holding something-it was all bright white-the brightest light ever!

                    Among the muck - I focused on God and His
                mission for me and the Shepherds of Christ.

                    His word to me is to help Him by spreading
                love to this world.

                    He wants a pure heart — one that is always
                focused on the Father's Plan.

                    Now in studying what is to happen, it is not
                how people act or react — it is in being like Mary
                our spiritual mother.

                    When I saw her, I saw the Mother of love itself.
                I saw struggle and suffering, but she acted purely,
                she was open to whatever God wanted. She wanted to
                please the Father.

                    I am so deeply aware of the Father's Plan for the
                earth and it is succinctly stated in the Our Father —
                ... thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as
                it is in heaven."

                    Thy will be done on earth —
                    This is the Father's Plan
                    This is my life lived to help this come about.
                    This is my delight.
                    This is my joy to know God has given me the
                        priest and the Eucharist, confession to
                        help me and fill me with His grace.

                My focus is the wide vision
                My focus is the Plan of the Father

                Now I tell you of a brain surgeon - he knows the brain
                    well.

                A general practitioner would not be as good working
                    on the brain.

                We were created with different talents and we have matured
                    in the spiritual life in different levels.

                The more I went to the Eucharist and sat before the
                    tabernacle - His life, His grace filled me —
                    I had greater life in Him —

                    My vision was more clear for the Plan of the Father
                        the more I was saturated with His life —

                    I begged for this — I wanted greater participation in
                        the Mass when I wrote this prayer in 1995

 


  

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.

-God's Blue Book, December 27, 1995

 
                    I waned to empty myself of me and be an empty
                        vessel when God gave me this prayer 1994

 

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

    

                Now as I write I see this —

                We are all on different levels of being more mature
                    Christians — saturated with His life —

                Being one in Him — having the mystical marriage
                    with Him is what helps me struggle
                    like Mary, suffer like Mary, but not give into
                    the imperfections of jealousy, envy, lust,
                    greed, slothfulness, gluttony, anger and pride.

                    When the acting impurely to other's sin begins,
                then we are doing work that hurts the Plan of
                God.

                    To the extent that we live every moment to the
                fullest in greater and greater purity we do the
                work of the Heavenly Father.

                    No matter what form satan may take to
                divide us, we respond in a pure manner.
                Now did you ever see a "gismo" that is stuck —
                you push and push and apply pressure and
                finally it may move.

                    You may have to apply some oil, or something
                else, but focus on pressure, force, greater and
                greater to move something that is stuck. Think
                of pressing down until you intend to force
                it.

                    Think of how it can be to open a really
                tough jar. I can't do it a lot of times —
                I have to give it to a stronger male, but eventually
                I can usually get it open.

                    Satan works like that on a spiritual person
                trying to do God's work.

                    Pray that you will not be put to the test.
                    Pray for grace — live to be pure —
                    Pray to not give into jealousy, anger,
                    pride and to trust.

                When a person is in a war — they may be weary
                When God asks us to be a special soldier on the front
                    line of His army — I can become tired and
                    weary, but

                I am never defeated —
                Mary is by my side —
                Mary's heart is pure
                Mary's heart is loving
                Mary's heart is our model —

                Satan wants people to hate
                Satan wants people to block God's work
                Satan wants people to be selfish

                So selfish "being right" can become a god.

                Mary loves her sinning children, she doesn't
                    want them to sin.

                If we are like Mary we fight the bitter heart
                    and hardened, prideful, self-seeking
                    heart — we learn more and more to put
                    our heart in her Immaculate Heart

                People are at all different levels spiritually
                    and they may want you to bend so you
                    will fit into their mold —

                We must go into Mary's pure and Immaculate Heart
                    as our mold —

                In there lies a heart of pure love.

                Mary loves the sinner, but Mary's heart was
                    not jealous, envious, prideful, self-
                    seeking —

                    Mary lived to please the Father —
                    Mary — FULL OF GRACE
                    Mary — LOVE
                    Mary — Spiritual Mother
                    Mary — Spouse of the Holy Spirit
                    Mary — TRUTHFUL always!!

                People get the idea they are right and FIGHT FOR IT —

                Seeing "Red" to prove you're right
                    shows that you have a problem

                When being right becomes your god
                    rather than the Father's Plan —
                    you are not like Mary, the Spiritual Mother

                When a vase is broken and you glue it together
                    it never looks so good

                When the vase is dropped — chances are it will
                    break where it broke before

                Now apply satanic pressure to the weak, wounded
                    part, a stubborn, selfish will, a
                    seeking of being dominant for dominance
                    sake and a bitter heart.

                Put all this in your broken vase and watch
                    satan press harder and harder

                I would rather go to the Eucharist, be filled
                    with grace and put my heart in Mary's
                    Immaculate Heart

                Notice how Aaron wanted to push Moses
                    under him and take charge

                    Had Aaron taken over instead of Moses
                would evil abound as we worshipped the
                molten calf.

                    God picked Noah to build the Ark — he
                destroyed the contaminated world.

                    God gives us prophets to move people to
                deeper spirituality.

                    Mary's image appeared in Clearwater
                to take us to her Immaculate, pure, loving
                heart and find refuge in the world.

                    People that are under structure and fight
                continually for dominance are unsettled
                and like a jumping worm. If God says
                your salvation is to be won this way under
                this structure, why do you give into satan
                to fight that which is God's will and when
                you raise up over God's will whose work do
                you do.

                    A man climbed a ladder and wanted to get
                to the top. He had to step on people on the way
                and when he got there he had stepped on
                so many people — they were hanging listlessly
                on like dead weight. They were beaten and
                not in control of their weight — some hung
                on almost dead.

                    The man got to the top of the ladder and with
                all the dead weight the ladder began to sway
                back and forth and finally where he was at
                the top — he hit the ground hardest and
                first.

                    When we go ahead with pompous victory,
                "being right" for our own power and glory —
                we can hit the bottom faster and harder
                than the guys holding on, beat up, by our
                pompous victory. In the end the guy out
                for himself may hit the ground first
                and hardest and the "beat-up" others may
                be able to get fixed faster.

                    Yes Mary watches her children in a race
                for the "top" — the top of what? Stepping on the
                forehead of our brothers.

                Jesus: I paid the price for your sins —
                    I wanted your love and you gave me your
                        struggle for dominance for yourself
                        life long —

                    Your life was summed up in one word
                        "FIGHT"

                        but the fight was to be on top, not for
                        Me, but for your own selfish gain.

                    I stood by and I waited and I wanted you
                        to love Me and you loved your
                        own seeking to be right and dominate

                    I came in the womb of My Mother
                        and I loved that woman —
                        Mary the sinless one —
                        You fought with Mary and her pure
                            ways —
                        Had she have been there
                        you would have tried to dominate her and
                        never love her —
                        the wisdom she knew — you never would
                            have embraced, you would have
                            been too busy fighting for dominance

                    I sent you a garden and you tore up
                        my flowers and planted a monument
                        to your glory —
                        you spent your life trying to beat out
                            the wisdom I sent you

                    In the end - your life was summed
                        up — tension — a fight for self

                    I give you this mission to help lead
                        the world into oneness in My Heart
                        and Mary and you said
                        on My special events —
                        I will dominate today

                    Christmas is My birthday

                    Easter is My special Feast

                Dominate you did and when the ladder
                    fell — you were on the top of the
                    ladder of all I sent you to grow
                    in the spiritual life —

                    And they hung beat up on the
                        ladder half way up and

                    You fell in your ignorance
                        fastest and hit the ground

                I wanted you to love Me first —
                I wanted you to serve Me, but you wanted
                    to be served and sought dominance
                    for dominance sake

                Now I cry for this message

                Mary did appear in rainbow color,
                    a message of the Father to the
                    world about her Immaculate
                    Heart and
                    you used that too, to promote
                    your glory —

                Not the refuge of Our Hearts
                    The Hearts of love
                    The Hearts of Purity
                    The Hearts of self-giving like
                        I gave on the cross
                    The Hearts perfectly attuned to
                        the will of My Father —

  

Luke 1: 46-55

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.

 

 

                    I have seen a person attacked by the devil
                where they do something they shouldn't and then
                they will go to every extent to prove their
                purity when in fact they genuinely need to
                say they are sorry and make recompense.

                    Now in dealing with God - the human race
                has majorly offended God and they do this
                same thing. Many continue in worse sins
                offending God and prancing before Him as
                if they have not sinned — they may continue
                to sin because they are wrapped in the
                devil's lie being blinded more and more by
                their sin.

                    When Mary who is sinless stood
                beneath the cross of Jesus and she
                watched her Son bleed for the sins of
                the flesh, the sins of pride, anger,
                lies, Mary stood there, the New Eve,
                and she knew how the spiritual life
                is rooted in humility, that is truth.

                    Because one is persecuted does not
                mean one does not walk in truth. Jesus
                the Son of God is the way, the truth and
                the life, but one seeking dominance over
                authority and self promotion will justify
                their evil actions as right. Satan is the
                father of lies. I have watched satan grip
                a person with a bitter heart and justify
                themselves while they block God's work
                and make other's suffer. Holding out in
                anger to punish another can be
                compared to hanging Jesus to His death
                on the cross for three agonizing hours.
                Jesus was persecuted so much He was
                crucified and He was the Son of God.
                (A person that is being gripped by satan
                open the blue book and receive a lot of
                help to get out of that grip.)

                    Jesus said today in a message a person
                who is angry, betrayed and seeking
                dominance would treat the Mother of
                God with the same sinfulness as they
                may treat another if the evil actions
                are within them.

                    Think of this, God giving us such a
                gift as Jesus and Mary and He was
                crucified and Mary suffered terrible
                abuse at the hands of others.

                    Mary fled into Egypt, Mary lost
                Jesus in the temple, Mary's heart
                was pierced with a sword.

                Mary: My Son hung to His death on the
                cross for your sins of anger and pride
                and unforgiveness. A person has to
                let go of deep anger inside forgiving
                even the unloving focusing on the Father's
                will.

                    I am a Mother of Love and Peace, I
                appeared to spread my mantle of love
                to the troubled world. I am Our Lady of
                Snows, I am joy to the troubled hearted,
                but you will not recognize how crippling
                satan's grip can be. A snake bite can
                kill. Satan attacks the jugular vein —
                satan wants power you give him. You
                talk, but do not listen to yourselves.

                    I appeared in a little village of Fatima
                and they did not believe little children —
                many want what they want — they don't
                want messages from the Mother of God
                telling them what to do — so they ignored
                my warning. Then it happened as I told you
                World War II started and so many innocent
                people were killed, but the secularism
                that came from this is worse than the
                bombs that blew people up.

                    At the end of the century Jesus gave you
                this gift Shepherds of Christ to spread His Newsletters
                and Prayer Chapters.

February 6, 1997

Jesus:  I have given to you the messages on the 13th of the month that will greatly bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart.

                Again my message of Fatima wrapped into
                the Shepherds of Christ is
                ignored. My image window was destroyed,
                my image face was reduced to cracked glass —

     

 

 
                When I appeared July 5, 1994 to my
                messenger at the old seminary she
                recorded Mary's face was pumpkin colored
                and looked all cracked.

   

Excerpt from January 25, 1999

R. There is a soul on the edge of death at this moment. It is one of Mary’s children. She came to me on that July 5, 1994, and her skin was darkened and her face so sorrowful, I could not explain it. It looked as if her face was cracked - her skin as the color of Our Lady of Guadalupe. She appeared in the beautiful glow as coming from a fire.

Only twice I saw her with this darkened skin, July 5, 1994, and March 5, 1995. Then a month or so after the appearance on the building, I was telling someone this and the person said, "The skin is the color of Our Lady of Guadalupe." and I said, yes, that is exactly it, and it was. I figured later the cracked face was from the tears streaming down her beautiful tender face.

end of excerpt from January 25, 1999

       

                    In her messages she said, I thought
                maybe Mary was showing me she was an
                old woman, maybe Mary was crying —
                I tell you now, Rita, what you saw July 5, 1994
                was the cracked face of the image 10
                years later March 1, 2004 after my
                image face was destroyed by the pellets
                of a sling shot (three).

 

February 5, 2004

 

                    This picture was taken
                        February 5, 2004 — 24 days
                    before the image of my face was
                    destroyed.

                    Today I offer this glass for your home
                in a Fatima statue and request
                you pray the Shepherds of Christ Prayers with
                your family, in churches and in schools —
                I will tell you Our Lord will give tremendous
                blessings to those who do so — from the
                devastation of my window - to blessings
                of healing and love for you, the priests,
                the Church, the schools and your families.

                    I also offer you the Rosaries of Blue Book 6
                to be prayed before candle light for the
                richest blessing when you pray your
                rosaries from this Rosary Book with
                candle and statue.

                    I am Mary who stood beneath the
                cross of my Son and watched Him die
                for your sins.

                    When God asks you to do something
                why do you not do it?

      

 

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.
