A Priest is a Gift from God

R. We are blind men, we do not see that we are
    offending God. They beat Him at the
    pillar, they beat the God-made-man.
    You can say how blind are they, how
    blind you are today.

We do not see Jesus in our midst, we
    do not see how we offend Him, we
    do not see God in one another,
    we do not see what we do to
    others we do to Him.

Union, Oneness, we are one in Him.
    Be united in His love for He is truly here
    and in our midst.

God gives us His special priests.

I feel a presence of God in a deep way when a
    priest is present.

What a calling to be a precious priest.
    The priest was chosen by God.
    The priest has the power
    to baptize and forgive sins.

He gives to the priest the power to change
    bread and wine into His body and blood.

Wow —

His way is unity, His way is love, His way is harmony.
His way is the way, to be one in Him and live as
He lives in us in this world.
 

Jesus: I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life.
He who abides in Me will have the light of life.
R. The Father gave His only Son that we might have
life in Him.

Who are we that He loves us so much.

Deep in His Heart

Speaking to Jesus

R. I want to be so wrapped in You that
I exist so deeply in You, in the great abyss of Your
Heart, lost so deeply in Him.
But there is always more depth for
there is no limit to the depth that I can
penetrate Your heart. To penetrate it deeply
is to realize that I can penetrate it even
deeper.

Jesus: As My Heart beats in endless love for you,
I am so present to you. I am God and I am present,
you worry and you fume and I am in you.

R. Hear the roaring flames burning in
His Heart, feel the warmth the security for
He is our all. As we live and breathe our peace is
in Him and in His burning love.

 

April 11, 1995

Tunnel Vision

R. Whacking Jesus on His Head. Pains in the Head.

    The things the people want to hear are not the
things He says, deep, deep love, we do not understand,
don't be too gory, too emotional, too . . .

    He is depth — He is love, He
is a Burning Furnace of love.

    He gives us little glimpses of Himself. He gives us
a grace and we think, oh it can't be like this because
we think in human terms. We must rid ourselves
of our preconceived ideas and experience Him,
in the insight He is giving us — delving
deeply into His love.

    We must surrender our human minds to be
transformed by His light. See insight into the mystery.
Pray for this insight. It is as He allows
us to experience in our heart.

We have tunnel vision, we look with human minds.

Jesus: Reach out to Me and do not fear.

R. Jesus wants unity. Jesus wants oneness.
We put up walls and block the intimacy we could have.
Unity — Reach out and do not fear.

 

April 12, 1995 - St. Gertrude's - 8:20a.m.

Overwhelming Union with Jesus after Communion

Jesus: This is My gift given to you My precious
and most loved child. I give to you these
memories of Our love spent together.
Touching moments in deepest union. Oh how
I love you and I give to you this great gift
of oneness with you. You
cannot express the depth your soul
feels when We unite in deepest union.
Oh, My beloved, such intense love this
merging of My Divine love with
your soul.

Come and be lost with Me, let Me
carry you away and be off, removed
from this world.

R. Deepest union with Him, remembering
my intense love with Him in this Church,
when He touched my soul in this deep
union. Wanted to permeate my soul and
penetrate my being around November
of 1993 — such oneness — first time He
talked about this union. Just want such
oneness — So joined. Being absorbed in His love.

Let me be immersed in the Vat of Your love
Dropped deeply into the deep abyss of
Your Heart. I am totally penetrated with
Your light and Your love.

My whole body is bathed in His light. Weakness
to experience this unity, in deeper and deeper,
deeper and deeper in Him, I am One
In Him.

Depth and immeasurability is His love.

Let me be so saturated with Your light, Your
life, so deep, deep in union with Thee,
so deep in union with the Almighty
God, so as I breathe, my every breath
becomes joined with Him, my every heart
beat, beats as one in Him. I am
existent in Him, joined in deepest love. 

 

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

   

April 12, 1995

Insight into the Hidden Mysteries

R. Had such a presence at St. Gertrude's —
such oneness, next to my daughter,
remembered all the intense love experiences
I had with Him in that Church, cried harder,
knew His intense love, remembered
November when He said be one with Him —
such oneness, so beautiful, words cannot
explain.

 

April 12, 1995 - 9:20p.m.

Love Among One Another

R. To be one in Jesus in deepest love is to
be one with you because I realize how
much He loves you that He gave His
life for you and would die for you this
day. He is one with the Father, to know
His love is to know the Father's love and
love of the Holy Spirit. The Father
loves you so much that He gave
His Son as a sacrifice for you that
you might be with Him forever
in heaven. How can I not love you
with deepest love if I am joined in such
union with Him. Oh how I love you
my dear sweet brothers. I see in you the
reflection of the God who created
you. You who are so valued and
precious to Him are so valued by me.

Come Holy Spirit fill us and enkindle
in us the fire of Your love. Come Holy
Spirit fill our hearts and enkindle in us
the fire of Your love. Fill us,
fill us, oh Holy Spirit with the fire
of God's love.

Dear Holy Spirit, fill us full with the fire of God's love.

Dear Holy Spirit, You are one with the Father
and the Son. Transform us more in the
heart of the Virgin Mary into the
image of Jesus, we who were created
in Your image and likeness. Help us to
model ourselves more and more after God.
We yearn to model ourselves after Jesus
and Mary. Help us to be joined in
such union with our brothers so that
we too can model our love relationships
after the greatest love relationship
that exist among the Persons of the
Trinity. Let us be joined in such union
with one another in deepest love.
Such oneness among men — Oh God
to know You is to know more of Your
goodness, You who are all good.

Jesus: I am He who came to this earth in
greatest love for you My beloved ones.
I came to show you how to love. It
is in uniting yourselves closer and
closer to My Heart through My Most
Sacred Heart that you will unite in deepest
love with all your brothers. Be joined
in such union with Me. Let Me
permeate your being and penetrate
your soul for I thirst for love of you.
Say the Prayer for Union with Me all through
the day. I come to you with greatest
love. I am your loving Savior
I am your God I died for you I
come to you this day.

Wisdom

R. He gives all we need to be made clean.
He gives us the sacrament of confession.
He gives the priest the power to forgive our
sins through Him. He gives us new life in
baptism. He outpours His grace to us.
And we fume and fret and holler for our
ills and He gives to us the remedies to cure
our ills. We are as blind men. We do not
see. We hurt but we turn away from
Him who can cure us, minute by
minute, second by second, He provides for
all our needs and we scoff at Him and
in our willfulness we walk a barren
desert wounded and alone.

    Oh Holy Spirit impart to us the gift of
wisdom and knowledge and understanding
to see the perishable things of this
world in their contexts and to see more
with the vision of God, the great gifts He
imparts to us. Vision beyond our
comprehension. Vision into the mystery
of God to see beyond what is visible and
comprehend more these mysteries with great
faith. They have turned their heads. They
have become stiff-necked, they are willful and
base, they have lost their way. And the
Holy Spirit with His life imparts to them
great gifts of Godly wisdom, knowledge
and understanding and gives to them the
vibrancy, the force, the fire of His love.
Alleluia. Praise God in His great goodness.
Alleluia.

April 13, 1995

Union with the Trinity

R. We see the profound mystery of
the Trinity. We see that there are
3 Persons in one God.

    God has communicated to
us in Salvation History. He
has communicated Himself
within the framework of
community. Also God communicates
Himself to individuals in a
most intimate relationship,
but He communicates to a
person in their totality.

God has called men together in
religious communities to
realize the truth, to help
strengthen with devoted
consecrated people His
Church.

    The Christian community
is a terrestrial reflection
of the ultimate and absolute
community — namely the
Trinity.

   

Chapter 6 - The Christian and Church (excerpt)

Grace, or the Christ-life, is a created participation in Trinitarian life. This Christ-life, consequently, calls us to a special existence of knowing and loving. Christian faith and love, which are created participations in the Trinity's knowing and loving, allow us to know and love God in a special manner. Faith and love also give us a new capacity to relate to both our fellow Christians and to all others as well.

       Because the life of the Trinity is person-centered, so must the life of the Christian community be person-centered. For many years, it seems, we were not sufficiently person-conscious; however, the theology that has emanated from Vatican II is helping to rectify this situation. In the pre-Vatican II Church, structures in the Church were occasionally treated as ends in themselves rather than as the means of serving the persons in the Church. Slowly but surely, structures in the Church are being renewed so that they might better serve their true purpose, which is to aid in the ongoing development of her members.

       The Christian community, in turn, develops when those who make up that community develop as authentic Christians. Just as each divine person contributes perfectly to the community life of the Trinity according to the perfect fullness of his personhood, so each Christian contributes to community life in proportion to the degree of his or her personal development.

       Authentic interpersonal relationships help to develop community. The Trinitarian community is a community of profound relationships. Because we reflect Trinitarian community, we are intended to have relationships not only with the persons of the Trinity, but likewise with one another. Authentic interpersonal relationships not only unite in a deeper knowledge and love the persons directly involved, they also make a person more capable of loving others more deeply and, therefore, more capable of deepening the bonds of total community. If a person is growing in the capacity to love his or her friends, for example, that person is concurrently growing in the capacity to also love others—both those who are members of the Church and those who are not.

       The concept of the Church as Body of Christ certainly emphasizes the sense of corporateness that should permeate the consciousness of the Church's members. We must think in terms of both what is good for the entire Church and, through this Church, what is good for the total human community. Even when we disagree among ourselves, we do so not because we want to glory in having the upper hand, but because we believe that to disagree here and now is necessary so that the truth might better emerge for the good of the community. St. Paul speaks to us about this sense of corporateness: "In the name of the encouragement you owe me in Christ, in the name of the solace that love can give, of fellowship in spirit, compassion, and pity, I beg you: make my joy complete by your unanimity, possessing the one love, united in spirit and ideals. Never act out of rivalry or conceit; rather, let all parties think humbly of others as superior to themselves, each of you looking to others' interests rather than his own" (Phil 2:1-4).

       In our sense of corporateness, that is, motivated by a common purpose and a common good, we should learn to rejoice in the gifts and the achievements of others. These are not isolated gifts and achievements; rather, they redound to the good of the whole body. We all probably know of numerous instances of jealousy and a false sense of competition that have hindered the work of Christ. In the long run, however, if the work of Christ is being accomplished, and if I am making an effort to do my part, does it really matter whether I or someone else is responsible for this or that particular accomplishment? Does it matter whether this or that group or organization receives credit? St. Paul again has words for us: "After all, who is Apollos? And who is Paul? Simply ministers through whom you became believers, each of them doing only what the Lord assigned him. I planted the seed and Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. This means that neither he who plants nor he who waters is of any special account, only God, who gives the growth. He who plants and he who waters work to the same end" (1 Cor 3:5-8).

end of excerpt

    

R. We are to live united to others
    in a bond of love —
    Serving God as one and
    doing His will —

We see that God wants union
    for us — working together —
    oneness in our hearts
    in prayer —

A strong spirituality as members
    of the Father's family.

Divisions of jealousy, competition
    for dominance, envy,
    anger, seeking dominance
    for dominance sake —
    tear us apart —

We are to seek to be dressed in
    virtue and die to vices.

Relationships in love —
In helping others to be
    in their vocation
    what God wants them to be,
    with their talents, serving God
    their Father in love.

    We in our intimate love union
with the Trinity can grow deeply
in our love union with the
Persons of the Trinity as we
are becoming more one in
Them, understanding
the oneness of God and
love Father, Son and Holy Spirit
as the Persons of the Trinity.
We can be unique in developing
in our talents, contributing
to the community and deeply
united in furthering the
building of the Kingdom
of God — helping to bear
fruit for the Kingdom —

   

John 15: 1-8

I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
     he prunes
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
     that I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
—and withers;
these branches are collected
     and thrown on the fire
and are burnt.
If you remain in me
and my words remain in you,
you may ask for whatever you please
and you will get it.
It is to the glory of my Father
      that you should bear much fruit
and be my disciples.

 

R. We are not in competition with
our brothers' talents or
God's call to them — we do
not try to raise above those
over us —

We are realizing what gifts we
have — have been given to
us and we are to use them
as God wishes us to, to help
build His Kingdom.

    In growing in that deep
intimacy with the Trinity
we are preparing ourselves
for everlasting union with
God in heaven — We become
more and more absorbed in
that unity of the Trinity as
we dwell deeply in Them —
Realizing Father, Son and Holy Spirit
dwell within our graced baptized
soul —

    We know unity, oneness —
love — We are enveloped in
that vat of love of Father, Son and
Holy Spirit — We know more deeply
that special presence of 'God'
in us —

The indwelling of the Trinity
in us —

We are saturated more with
Their life in us.

We understand profound unity
in God's Plan for the earth,
for man —

We see the unity of heaven
and earth in His Plan
with the rule of love and
harmony —

Peace to the earth —

Love to His creatures —

We understand more the
mystery of love and the
mystery of God's love for us,
the mystery of the Incarnation
and the Immaculate Conception.
Oh God, help us to unite and be
one with all our brothers —
Help us to live by Your Plan
for us and not be rebellious
children —

Help us to seek Your will and
    be so one with the Trinity —

    We are in our vocation in Shepherds of
Christ praying for the priests, the Church
and the world. We see ourselves as united
with the souls Jesus died for —

We want to spread this devotion
to the Two Hearts to help bring
this purity to the world.

 

April 13, 1995 - 5:30a.m.

To Want Oneness for All

R. We are so immersed in the love of
the Trinity. Help us to unite and
be one with all of our brothers. Help
us to see the oneness in it all. The
oneness with all others living, the one-
ness with the angels and saints, the
oneness with the souls in purgatory,
most of all our oneness with God. To be
one in Him is to be one with the souls
of the earth. To see the harmony,
the beauty of this great oneness
between all things. I am one in Him,
He is one in me, to be so united to Him
is to love His creation, to love His
creatures, to love all that He has
created. To want oneness for all —
To see everything in this
immense scope of intense unity.
I cannot love Him and not love
what He creates. He is God.
How can I love Him and not love
His Plan for us creatures, the world.
I love His creation.

Jesus: My beloved one, I truly write to you,
to know Me is to love. I created all
things out of love.
I give to you the world, the sunlit
mornings and the moonlit nights, I give
to you all the beauty in the creation
of water and land. I give to you the
beauty in the flowers and the budding
trees, each tree created for you My
beloved, a gift for you from God. I give
to you from My abundance. I am God.

I am all good!! I give you the earth!
There are so many blades of grass, so
many petals in the flower, My infinitude
My greatness is seen in the vastness
of the ocean.

Jesus: My beloved, how blind
are the eyes of men. They live here and
they do not see the God above who watches
over all the earth. Each bug, so unique,
so detailed, to the smallest ant, the
smallest fly, do you My beloved, see
the infinitude of God? Do you see
the details in a human body? And many
men in their pride have forgotten God. I
give to you the sunlit morning, the moonlit night,
the stars in the sky, the flowers of the
earth, I am God. My Father, out of
His great goodness, gives these creations
to man and man in his willfulness
rebels against God.

    Man is a human creature. I give you baptism.
In baptism you receive a sharing in My life.
Your knowing and loving capacity is elevated.
Man has spit on God and chosen
the man-made things of this world as
his gods. Time alone with Me, Rita, throw your
clutter out, give your things away to those
who can use them. Why do you hold on
to so many created things of this earth? The
beauty is in God. I am life! I give to
you My life, I give to you a blade of grass,
a beautiful flower, you are shuffling
around unneeded debris. Let go to Me,
My beloved, I will help you sort your clutter
and simplify your life. I will give you
great gifts gently. My letters I will protect,
My rosary is the gift My Mother and I
give specially to all on this earth.
You will see as the plan of the Father unfolds.
Your worry was in vain. As you worried
with each child you carried in your
womb and longed for the pregnancy
when it was over, you longed for the gift of
life growing inside.

    I give to you, My beloved, the gift of
life on this earth, created in all its
beauty by the Father, I give you great
gifts, reflections of the Father's love and
you do not have time to smell the roses.
I call you to peace and harmony.
Harmony, oneness, My way works
in peace. Man has forgotten God
and made his life here his end. He has
worshipped false gods, many are dead in
their minds and their heart is empty of love —
empty — To be without God is to
be locked in a dark tomb. Come out of
your tombs, open your eyes to
the things of God. The T.V. has become
the great god to man, oh My children,
My children, you have traded love and
kindness for sterile things. You give up
My gift of grace in you for your inanimate
objects, you are hard and cold in
your hearts, you operate on dead
cells in your batteries.

    Let the Spirit penetrate your hearts,
fill your souls with the fire of God's
love. May your eyes be opened and
your ears hear what I am telling you
here. You in your willfulness have
plugged up your ears and covered your
eyes.

    Rita, you stand on the edge of these
great unfoldings into the Mysteries
of God. The Spirit will come and saturate
this earth with the love of God and all
that are open will receive such an outpouring
of His life.

    I am Jesus and I have delivered this letter
to you for this world. These letters of My
love will open many cold hearts. I give
to you the Mighty Medicine for this world.
My beloved, men will know My Might and
My power, many will still reject Me and
choose the false gods they have made.
They will be condemned to the fires of
hell for their own willfulness and mortal
sins they cling to. They chose to live this
way. They chose to die this way.
They condemn themselves. I give in My
abundance good things to you. Man has a
free will to love God or to reject Him.

Remember the life you carried in your
womb, did one of your worries make
any difference at the birth. The earth
is about to be purified and brought
to abundant life in Me. Not one
worry will help in the birth. My life I
give to you, I am attentive to your every
need, let go and trust, every moment I
am present to you, I love you so! Worry
is from satan. Trust in God at every second.

R. Eve wanted to be equal to God —
Many men raise themselves up today to see
themselves as gods.

 

John 17: 20-23

I pray not only for these
but also for those
who through their teaching
will come to believe in me.
May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
   and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
   you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
   that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.

   

R. That is what I am seeing when I go to communion,
    saw all my special moments with Him
    to tears.

 

April 14, 1995 - Good Friday

Jesus Waits

R. God Friday, the Friday God gave
Himself for us. Who are we that God loves
us so much.

Jesus: I am Jesus your beloved one. Do you
understand how I loved you to My death?
Do you understand, now, Rita, how I am
always there waiting for you. I wait for
you at every moment, I never ever leave
you.

R. Jesus is always waiting with His love,
no matter where I go or how long I stay
away, or what I do.

    Think of someone, a person you love
and waits and waits for you, even when
you have hurt them, in your darkest
sin they still would love you with the
deepest love. He spread His arms, He
gave His all. All that we had done, He is
still there with His arms open and embraces
us in endless love. Deep love.

    Jesus is love. He knows how to love,
love is giving, Jesus gave His all. We go
away and He is waiting and embraces us with
the deepest love.

    How His Heart is wounded by our
indifference, our neglect, but it does not
change His love, His love is the same.
He loves us despite all that we do with
the same enduring love. He is close
to us in our deep suffering, in our sin
and He longs to comfort us and to be
there when we return with a warm
embrace.

    As the man who had two sons, he loved
his son, on his return he held not hatred
for his son, he had true love. He celebrated
when his son returned.

    Jesus waits and longs for us. We do not
see Him, but He silently waits for us
by the door of our heart and when we
open the door He comes in with His
over abundant love.

    It is ourselves that keeps us from
this great love. We do not trust that He
really loves us this way. We are fearful
little children, we do not know the Father's
love. The Father loved us so much that He
gave His only begotten Son for love of us.
We should have no fear at all. If we knew
the tiniest amount of the love of God we
would never fear. How He loves us.

    Jesus waits at the door of our hearts for a
deep, deep love affair with us.

 

April 14, 1995 - Good Friday

R. I see Mary stand under the cross watching
her beloved Son hang to His death. I am there
with them, I hear the sound of the wind, the
people in the background, the crying of
Mary and Mary Magdalene and John,
I hear others weeping. Jesus Christ, the Son of
God, gave Himself to the Father for love of us.
He gives us the Mass, the sacrifice of Calvary
sacramentally made present.

Jesus: "I give Myself to you, no less present
than the day I died on the cross." I give
Myself to you and you run from My altar
to be about your busy lives. I AM who
AM, I am God. I am your best
friend, I never leave you, the friend you
seek, you were created to love
Me. No human person can satisfy your soul,
I am He who loves you with unfathomable
love. I am the Almighty God, born of Mary,
a spotless virgin in the town of Bethlehem.
I give you Myself truly present
in the Eucharist. I am truly present, My
dear ones, do you not comprehend, this. Oh
what a gift I bestow on you. I am with you
in My Divinity and humanity in the Eucharist.
I dwell in your graced baptized soul. I give you
My life.

 R.  Mary stood under the cross supported by
her beloved John. How Jesus loves us and she
appears this day to tell us to return to
the love of Jesus. He is in our midst and
longing for our love. He waits with an
open Heart. He is Jesus Christ,
the Son of God and He waits to love and
embrace us.

    There is such a connection between Their
eyes on the way to Calvary. Jesus is so close
to His Mother. She was there for Him.
They are there for us always, They never leave.
Are we there for those we love? Jesus shows
us the way to love. It is in modeling ourselves
after Jesus and Mary that we become more
like God.

Jesus: Do you have a model? Do you have one
you want to imitate? I came to show you
the way. I put on human flesh to show
you the way. Do you imitate? or Do you
do your own thing?

R. In being one with Jesus, we strive
to imitate Him. God created us
unique, to love Him in this special way.

Jesus: I am the way, I am the truth, I
am the life. I am Jesus Christ the Son
of God. I AM who AM. I love you with
the deepest love. Let Me hold you and show
you My burning love. I came to give you
life.

I give you a sharing in My life in baptism.

What a gift you receive!!

 

April 14, 1995 - Good Friday 11:30a.m.

Patience

R. Dear Jesus,

    I don't know why I left you, I just did,
I wanted You my way and I wanted You now.
You were always there loving me so silently,
so sweetly and I in my impatience wanted
You to come and be with me the way
I wanted.

    Teach me oh Lord, the gift of patience,
teach me to love as You loved, all
through Your life You showed Your
peace. You were not anxious, You
were always at perfect peace, always
loving.

    Thank You for coming to this earth, for
taking on a human nature, for
being My model that I can follow
to learn to be more like You. Thank
You for the Blessed Virgin Mary, our
Mother, that You give to us to model our
lives after her. Thank You for the saints,
thank You, thank You, thank You, for
Your gentle, silent ways that teach
me such great lessons.

    In my willfulness, in my impatience,
I want things my way, You taught us
patience all through Your life. You knew
that You would suffer and die and You
were patient, kind and loving always
complying to the will of the Father.

    You taught us Your patience in
the garden, in Your great suffering to
know in such detail all You would
experience and you could have stopped
it all. You taught us patience to endure
for the will of the Father. You taught
us to trust in the Father's love.

    You taught us patience at the pillar,
as they beat You and You humbly endured
all the violence for love of us. You
taught us patience as You sat and were
spit on and crowned with thorns and
persecuted, patience, patience, patience
and You could have stopped it all.
You taught us patience as You carried the
heavy cross on Your back, patience as
You fell and got up, patience, patience,
patience until you finally hung for
three agonizing hours to Your death on
the cross.

    I do not want to wait. Give me the gift of
patience and teach me to comply always to
the Father's will.

 

April 14, 1995 - Good Friday 12:00

R. He calls and we tell Him to wait, as
the foolish virgins, we tell Him to
wait while we collect our belongings,
while we fix up our house, while we
tend to all our earthly affairs.

    He patiently waits for us and is attentive
to our every need and we do what we want,
many times. It is only in living in His will,
as a little child, living in harmony, obeying our
Heavenly Father, that we will be happy. Happiness
is found in living in His will.

Jesus: My beloved ones, your lives are not always
in harmony with the will of the Father. If
you do your own wills you will not have
peace, only in doing His will do you find
peace and joy.

    You are on this earth to know, love
and serve God. How do you do this
in your life? You cannot serve two
Masters. Your Master must be
the Heavenly Father. He created you
to know, love and serve God, to do your
own will, when it conflicts with His will,
is to serve other gods and is to your own
detriment. I AM the WAY, the Truth
and the Life — he who abides in Me will
have the light of life.

R. He waits for us and holds us ever so tenderly
    in a lasting embrace in His arms.

This is the love He has.

  

April 14, 1995 - Good Friday 1:25p.m. - on Holy Hill

Jesus: See the world My beloved one and each
person in harmony with the Father's will. What
love would resound throughout this earth.

R. Souls deviate from His will, this is
evil in this world. His plan works
in greatest love when men are in harmony
with Him.

Jesus: Such love, I outpour to you, you are
so richly loved by God who created you, you
are unaware of the great gifts you are given, My
precious beloved souls.

 

April 14, 1995 - Good Friday

Pray for the Priests

Jesus: My priest-sons, many that I have chosen
are not holy. I give the priest a special gift, they
are to be likened to Me in this world. How can
the lay people model themselves after
the priests if they are not showing holiness to
the lay people?

    My children, My children, live My life,
death and resurrection in your lives. Meditate
on the rosary.

    I give you Myself —
    I give you the Church —

I want you to pray in the Shepherds of Christ
    as I have instructed Fr. Carter. Pray
    for the priests, the Church and
    the world.

Begin Prayer Chapters — Call the people
    and stay connected with the prayer
    chapters. A unity among the members —
    a network of prayer and support for
    this priestly writing and My Blue Books.

I am Jesus.

I call — You are to respond —

I want a network of prayer chapters in
    different languages around the
    world — praying as I told Fr. Carter.

Please spread this Movement, Spread
    the Priestly Writing, spread the
    Blue Books, begin prayer chapters
    praying for the priests, the Church
    and the world —
    Spread the Ministries — Please
    hear Me — This will lead to greater
    holiness in the Church —
    Please harken to Me —

I am Jesus — please spread
    My Movement to help in the renewal
    of the Church and the world.

 

April 14, 1995 - Good Friday

Call Your Children Together

Mary: Call your children together, go to
    a room and pray in front of the Sacred
    Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart
    of Mary images. Pray before candles in
    a dark room, use a flashlight
    to use the rosary meditations. The
    darkness creates an atmosphere
    and there is little distractions.
    In the messy room there is
    peace and concentration. Sufferings
    are about to befall this earth.
    Publish all rosary meditations
    possible. Families need to be praying
    the rosary together.

    We have given you, Rosaries from
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary as a tool
to fight off satan's attacks. He will
attack you and try to lead you astray.
You must stay focused on the Hearts
of Jesus and Mary. This is my Christmas
gift to this world.

    I am your Mother and thank you
for responding to this call.  
 

R. Resurrection

    Always giving as peace, love and joy.

 

  John 20: 26-29

Eight days later the disciples were in the house again and Thomas was with them. The doors were closed, but Jesus came in and stood among them. ‘Peace be with you,’ he said. Then he spoke to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here; look, here are my hands. Give me your hand; put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving any more but believe.’ Thomas replied, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him: 

    You believe because you can see me. 
    Blessed are those who have not seen 
        and yet believe.

 

1. Jesus asked for Spanish translation by Ellen's son.

2. Talks - give talks, pray the rosary
    Spread the message on audio, video.

3. Give Pilgrim Fatima Statues to Prayer groups —
    Pray with pictures of Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart
        and Pilgrim statue.
    Use the rosary meditations in prayer groups
        also tapes from special rosaries —
    Mary said she is giving me more
        meditations for children —
    Mary said some shorter meditations

4. Get the Books Out.

5. Ask Sharon to play.

Joe's homily book focusing on the Word and the Eucharist with the Shepherds of Christ prayers in the back of the book.

Inspiring Homilist & Author Fr. Joseph Robinson has dedicated his life to serving Christ and the Church for over 40 years.

Guiding Light - Reflect on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year $ 15.00 plus postage Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle B     The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

		Guiding Light - Steadfast to the Son Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year $ 15.00 plus postage Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A    The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15
		Guiding Light - Feed My Soul Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year $ 10.00 plus postage Guiding Light - Feed My Soul Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year $ 15.00 plus postage Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C    In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year $ 15.00 plus postage Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B    At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

Guiding Light - The Word Alive in Our Hearts Inspiring Homilies covering partial year of Cycle A by Fr. Joe Robinson $ 10.00 plus postage Guiding Light - The Word Alive in Our Hearts. - Cycle A (partial)    Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr. Joe has allowed us to share these great gifts with you – for greater holiness and knowing more and more about God. $10
