Isaiah 30: 19-26:
Yes, people of Zion
living in Jerusalem,
you will weep no more.
He will be gracious to you when your cry for help rings out;
as soon as he hears it, he will answer you.
When the Lord has given you the bread of suffering
and the water of distress,
he who is your teacher will hide no longer,
and you will see your teacher with your own eyes.
Your ears will hear these words behind you,
'This is the way, keep to it,' whether you turn to right or left.
You will hold unclean the silver platting of your idols
and gold plating of your images.
You will throw them away like the polluted things they are,
shouting after them, 'Good riddance!'
He will send rain for the seed you sow in the ground,
and the bread that the ground provides will be rich and nourishing.
That day, your cattle will graze in wide pastures.
Oxen and donkeys that work the land
will eat for fodder wild sorrel,
spread by the shovel-load and fork-load.
On every lofty mountain, on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses, on the day of the great
slaughter
when the strongholds fall.
Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself will be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-
on the day Yahweh dresses his people's wound
and heals the scars of the blows have received."
Isaiah 40:1-8:
'Console my people,
console them,'
says your God.
'Speak to the heart of Jerusalem
and cry to her
that her period of service is ended,
that her guilt has been atoned for,
that, from the hand of Yahweh, she has received
double punishment for all her sins.'
A voice cries, 'Prepare in the desert
a way for Yahweh.
Make a straight highway for our God
across the wastelands.
Let every valley be filled in,
every mountain and hill be leveled,
every cliff become a plateau,
every escarpment a plain;
then the glory of Yahweh will be revealed
and all humanity will see it together,
for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.'
A voice said, 'Cry aloud!' and I said, 'What shall I cry?'
-'All humanity is grass
and all its beauty like the wild flower's.
The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of Yahweh blows on them.
(The grass is surely the people.)
The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God remains for ever.'
Song: A Voice Cries Out
in the Wilderness
R. Adam and Eve are given
great gifts and insights into God. They sin, the light of knowing God is
dimmed because of their sin. They do not know God as they did before the
sin.
Christ comes, He is the Light of the World.
He dies, He gives Himself. He shares His life with us through
sanctifying grace.
Through Baptism we receive this sharing in
His divine life. The more He shares His life, the more we are saturated
with His life, the more we know Him. He reveals Himself to us--we see
the light.
The Kingdom of God is at hand. It is all
here: the Mass, the Eucharist, God giving Himself.
To partake more in His life we must give
ourselves to Him.
Mary appears to Bernadette. She tells her
she is the "Immaculate Conception." We are sinners, but through Mary,
the pure and sinless one, we can unite deeply in Him.
We are in darkness in varying degrees. The
more we are saturated with His life, the more we see.
The reign of God is at hand. Since He came
to the earth, everything is in place to see the light.
God is giving to us great graces to see the
light now. He is lifting the veil.
There will be the era of peace.
Isaiah 30:26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself will be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
We see the darkness. As at night, we do not
see the colorful leaves, they are there, we do not see them.
In the morning light, we see the glory of
the beautiful day, the colorful leaves.
As the light steals across the sky, we see
more and more. As the sun gradually comes up, we see more clearly the
beauty of the leaves.
At first, our vision is not so clear because
the light does not show in its deepest intensity. As the sun comes up we
see more and more vividly until finally we see clearly the beauty of the
colorful leaves.
Isaiah 30:26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself will be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
In a message to Fr. Carter on July 31, 1994,
Jesus has promised us: "I will give great graces to the members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to
My Heart and to Mary's heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in
the Holy Spirit."
As stated above, the more we are saturated
with his life, the more we are one in Him, the more clearly we see. It
is in this union, in the depth of His Heart, that we receive such life,
that we know Him with great clarity, that we are given this vision of
God.
It is not with "eyes" that we see, but the
illumination is in the knowing power that He gives to us. He reveals
insights into the divine mysteries. We share most intimately with Him
when we are one with Him in the Mass and after Communion. These are
treasured moments in which He gives us a special sharing to know Him,
our Divine Lover.
We see clearly when our hearts are hearts of
love. We see vividly when our hearts are filled with love and peace. We
were created to love, to love God and love each other.
Adam and Eve sinned. They lost the great
gift given to them. The light of knowing God was dimmed because of their
sin.
Christ comes into the world. He is the Word.
He is the light of the world. He comes to save man from his sin. He
comes in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Mary is the pure and sinless one.
Jesus comes to pay the price for the sin of Adam and for our sins. We
are all tainted by this sin of our first father and mother. Mary is the
Immaculate and pure one, the highest human person. Divinity unites with
humanity in the womb of Mary. They are one. Jesus is carried within the
body of His mother. Such unity from the beginning, for His life is
formed within her body. Is it surprising to us, then, if Christ comes
within the womb of the Virgin Mary, that we too must go through Mary to
unite to Him? Where is the pride in the hearts of men that think they do
not have to go through their Mother Mary? If Christ comes in the womb of
Mary to pay the price for man's sins, and we are tainted by the sin, in
order to unite to the Almighty God who is all holy, we must go through
the pure and sinless one.
Adam and Eve sinned. The Father sends His
Son into the world to pay the price for man's sins. Jesus is the New
Adam; Mary is the New Eve. Man continues to sin, greatly displeasing
God. The Father allows Mary to appear to Bernadette at Lourdes as the
Immaculate Conception, as having been conceived without original sin.
The Father then allows Mary to appear to the children of Fatima as the
Immaculate Heart of Mary.
We are sinners, we cannot unite closely to
Him unless we go through Mary.
Mary is the pure and sinless one. We can
unite deeply to Him. We are in darkness in varying degrees. The more we
are saturated with His life, the more we see.
The reign of God is at hand. He came to the
earth, He died, He rose on the third day. He gave to the Apostles the
power to change bread and wine into His Body and Blood. He gave to them
the power to forgive sins. He established His Church pouring forth from
His pierced side. We do not see the great gifts that He has given to us.
He is giving to us great insights into these gifts. God is giving to us
great graces to see the light now. He is lifting the veil.
There will be an era of peace and all will
see with such light as Isaiah speaks of in chapter 30, verse 26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself will be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
Man sinned. Jesus came to redeem us. Man is
still so sinful. Mary appears at Fatima. She tells us that we are
offending God, that we must make reparation to her heart and the heart
of her Son.
She gives us the peace plan for the world.
She tells us that the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and her
Immaculate Heart will triumph but we must do what she says. The Church
has approved Fatima. The devil has blocked the message. How can we
disobey our Mother? How can we ignore her? Mary appeared at Fatima and
was ignored. Mary appeared to me almost daily for 14 months--she does
not appear as she once did. Jesus has told me that He will handle these
messages, that He is in charge, that the plan of the Father will unfold
despite any person's willfulness.
In August 1996, Mary spoke in the rosary:
she said she could not hold back the hand of her Son any longer. On the
5th of this month, instead of Mary appearing as she had in the past,
Jesus appeared alive on the crucifix with His mouth moving for twenty
minutes. We are not listening to Mary or to Jesus. Man has sinned. Jesus
came to redeem us. Mary tells us what we must do. Men are disobedient.
They disobeyed their Mother. They do not do what she told them what they
must do at Fatima. When hearts are consecrated to Jesus and Mary they
become holy hearts, deeply one with God. The reign of the Sacred Heart
is at hand for He has given to us abundant grace that we are seeing with
such clarity this vision of God. He has imparted to us understanding
into His divine mysteries.
The more we focus on what Jesus and Mary
have told us, the more we will have peace. He is angered by the
willfulness of man. He will get their attention. We are spreading the
good news when we spread the consecration.
We must heed the words of our Mother. She
will not go away because of willful men. We have angered God more by
ignoring her. There is only one way: it is the plan that Mary has given
to us at Fatima. He is lifting the veil for those whose hearts are
consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Many in the Shepherds of Christ Movement are
fervently loving Him. In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, as the
apostles spread the consecration to the Church, the family, and the
school, the fire of His love will cover the earth and it will be lighted
with this love coming from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Sacred Heart
of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph.
We, in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, are
spreading the fire of His love across the earth through the
consecration.
The hearts of men will turn from their sick
and desolate ways to hearts gentle as a little lamb. There will be one
flock and one Shepherd and His staff will rule over all. Hearts
consecrated to Their Hearts will lead the light across the earth. This
light will be a light of intense brightness, brighter and hotter than
any light from a flame. It will be the fire of God's love. The Spirit
will move in all hearts consecrated to His Heart, and we will know how
fire truly spreads, for the love of God is a fire, it is vibrant, it is
encompassing, it is smoldering, burning deep within and speedily
spreading on the outside. No fires on this earth can ever describe the
burning embers that burn from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. No fire burns
like the fires coming from His Heart and hearts filled with the love
from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
On October 13, 1917 Our Lady gave to Lucia
and 70,000 spellbound people, a great vision: the sun spun in the sky,
casting off great lights. This happened three times in about 12 minutes.
As quoted from Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven:
It seemed that the whole
world was on fire with the sun spinning at a greater speed each time.
Then a gasp of terror rose from the crowd for the sun seemed to tear
itself from the heavens and come crashing down upon the horrified
multitudes...just when it seemed that the ball of fire would fall upon
and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the sun resumed its normal
place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as ever.
Mary gave this tremendous sign at Fatima and
people did not listen. The events that followed were as she had
predicted since we disobeyed her. There was a brutal war, WWII. Mary
appeared to me almost daily - very few have listened. She told me over
and over again of the souls going to hell. She told me in August she
could not hold back the hand of her Son anymore. Adam and Eve sinned.
God, the Father, sent His Son. Man continues to sin--the Father sends
Mary but she is ignored!
On July 2, 1996, my son, Joseph, was taking
pictures of all of the Shepherds of Christ members at Tom Arlinghaus'
farm. He took one picture of each person. Jesus told me to tell him to
take two pictures of Fr. Carter. The first picture was a normal picture.
The second picture was of Fr. Carter covered with a pillar of light.
In front of a statue of Our Sorrowful
Mother, Mary was alive in the statue.
Jesus: "Peace will bound
when nations, churches, families, and individuals are consecrated to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Shepherds of
Christ Movement...is a pillar of light in the darkness."
R. We must encourage all to
consecrate their hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred
Heart of Jesus and to join the Shepherds of Christ chapters, and the
Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement, to pray for our
Church and our world.
Jesus: This is My Movement
for renewal of the Church and the world, based in consecration, joining
your every act to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying the rosary,
and making reparation to Our Hearts, especially on first Fridays and
first Saturday. It is through your prayers and sacrifices many souls
will be saved. Grace will flow from those whose hearts are consecrated
to Our Hearts and the fire of My love will light up this darkened world.
R. Many are living in
darkness because they are not obeying Our Lady. The people will see the
light when they obey her and consecrate their hearts to her heart and
the Heart of Jesus.
To have this intense union with Jesus, with
God, we must give ourselves to Our Lady. It is there in the intimacy
with Him that we are saturated with His life and that He reveals to us
great lights, great insights into His divine mysteries. Yes, indeed, the
light will steel across the earth and the hearts of men will be hearts
filled with His love. They will know their God with great light imparted
to them by the Holy Spirit given to them because of the deep union that
they have with Jesus. The reign of the Sacred Heart is at hand. He is
giving to us these great lights at this time for He has lifted the veil
and we see many things and the light steals across the sky and we see
with clear vision.
Isaiah 30: 26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself will be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
Isaiah 30: 25:
"On every lofty mountain, on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses, on the day of the great
slaughter
when the strongholds fall."
Truly His Heart is the fountain of divine
life. It flows through the Church, through the hands of His holy
priests. When priests are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
and celebrating the Mass, and administering the sacraments, an immense
amount of His grace will be outpoured on the earth.
A people in darkness have seen a great
light. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, the Light of the World!
Our Father...thy Kingdom come, Thy will be
done on earth as it is in heaven. We will all love as the Father
intends, for now He looks to the earth and He sees it covered with
darkness. As hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the
earth will be covered with His light.
Revelation 12:1-12:
Now a
great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on
the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and
in labor, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Then a second sign
appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and
ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail
swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground,
and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of
giving birth, so that he could eat the child as soon as it was born. The
woman was delivered of a boy, the Son who was to rule all the nations
with an iron scepter, and the child was taken straight up to God and to
his throne, while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had
prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty
days.
And
now war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the
dragon. The dragon fought back with his angels, but they were defeated
and driven out of heaven. The great dragon, the primeval serpent, known
as the devil or Satan, who had led all the world astray, was hurled down
to the earth and his angels were hurled down with him. Then I heard a
voice shout from heaven, 'Salvation and power and empire for ever have
been won by our God, and all authority for his Christ, now that the
accuser, who accused our brothers day and night before our God, has been
brought down. They have triumphed over him by the blood of the lamb and
by the word to which they bore witness, because even in the face of
death they did not cling to life. So let the heavens rejoice and all who
live there; but for you, earth and sea, disaster is coming-because the
devil has gone down to you in a rage, knowing that he has little time
left.'
We are in her spiritual womb (heart). She is
pregnant, bringing forth her children of light. As we go to her heart,
she crushes the head of the serpent. Some of the brightest stars that
will light up the earth are in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. We are
the children of light. We are being sent forth as she brings us forth
her children of light to stamp out the darkness. We must give ourselves
to Mary.
