Prayer for Grace for our Country

Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants.

Love Letters

R. And so He, my Jesus, sent me there that July 17, 1993, to deliver a message of His love. Love letters from His Sacred Heart to His beloved souls.

    I went to Holy Spirit Center (old seminary) July 17, 1993 - was sent there to talk to Fr. Smith. Saw a vision of Mary at home in the dining room. Fr. Smith told me messages needed to be published.

You are Carried by Angels

Jesus: I am your God and I am not far from you ever. You have moved from Me as you become busy. Each day you need to be alone with Me. Just as you eat food, you need to be close to Me or you will have a wanting and longing in your heart.

    I am waiting for you to come to Me, each day, and I am always here. Nothing should be more important than this private union with Me. You are very distracted by things I do not want.

    I want you to spread My work, but I will guide you. I will do My own work; you can go at a slow pace. I will work in you if you let Me. Calm yourself; soak in My presence; be alone with Me in your heart. Let the distractions of this world pass you by; let go.

Sing: Little Child

Jesus: Just stay close to Me and you will know how to act.

    The devil wants confusion. I want you calm, present to your children, having fun and private prayer with them. You can do more work this way. Be there for your children – be ready for them; be available - pray with them, pray to Me. Be calm, My child, be calm. Time is short. You spend time with your children - treasure each moment as a special gift you have been given. Savor its quality – do not be busy and not there for them. Be there, talk to them and be close to them. Your job is with them praying to Me, with them and by yourself.

    Be calm, My child; soak in My presence. I am peace. I am love. I work in My peace – it is all easy – no need to fret and fume and feel tight inside. You aren’t going anywhere any faster for being all keyed up. You get no more done for walking around keeping yourself busy. Work is accomplished when you are not busy. There is always something that ought to be done. You need to focus on Me; write to Me; take time for Me; be with Me; love Me; make Me the Center of your Life and all those other things fall into line. You have three jobs: Me, your children and praying with them.

    I don’t want you busy, I want you at peace. Calm yourself. Calm your heart, soak your heart in a bath of white clouds, it is soothing, it is restful. My clouds are full of light; My burden is light. Place your yoke on Me; walk away free, really free. This is not lip service, it is walking on air. Feel your steps as you lift yourself up from the valley of darkness. You have transcended into the air and the light. You travel lightly; you are engulfed in a sea of peace and you run and not grow weary; you walk and your path is green; you have no cares as a child who just goes their way and lives in the moment.

    The Kingdom of God is within you; soak in My light, My lightness – let Me fill you with My grace and let yourself go. Let go of drudgery. Every minute is planned by Me; live it to the fullest. Worry not about the past or what will come in the future. Place Your Trust In Me. Come unto Me all who are weary and I will comfort you. Your burdens have been made light and your love is restored in My sea of love. Let Me fill you; lift yourself and be carried by the angels and you are anew, full of light, full of lightness, full of My grace, full of Me.

    Why do you worry? Does it add even one second to this life? This life is not why you are here. You are here to do My work for Me; My work is not busy work, it is peace and love and joy. It is Trust in He who put you there. I have put you on this earth to love, honor and obey Me. All else is not of Me. You honor and love and obey Me when you love those around you and spread My light. That is your job – being Me to a world in which many have forgotten Me.

R. I love you Jesus - Love, Rita!!

Blue Book Meeting

Dear God the Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints, and the souls in Purgatory, we gather here in one mind and one heart and we come to pray to You. We give ourselves entirely to You. Come to Me Lord and possess my soul. Live in us, that You operate in us to do the Will of the Father, that You fill us with Your grace, that we can proceed ahead to carry out the great mission that You have called us here in the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

We pray for priests the world over, for the success of the Priestly Newsletter. We pray for the spread of the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We pray for each and every person here and their families, that they will receive an outpouring of Your grace, to know, love and serve God more. We pray for all the souls in purgatory. We pray for all the intentions that people hold deep within their hearts. We pray for all children in this world today. We pray for the three intentions that we are doing this rosary novena for. This is the fourth day of Thanksgiving. We pray for the spread of the rosary, for the publication of these rosaries, the publication of the rosary books and to help us to circulate the rosary aves and consecration to the children. We pray for Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center and we pray for special intentions for the Shepherds of Christ Movement. We pray for another situation that we are suffering at this time that is causing a lot of people a lot of pain and we ask for Your guidance to follow Your will. What else shall we pray for? (intentions mentioned by those in attendance) For all these intentions and for all the people who have asked us to pray for them we pray and we bind our children and our grandchildren to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Jesus: I am allowing you to suffer, for you will experience a period of great growth. My dear ones, you must hold on to My Heart. I am giving to you great grace. Be still and quiet. Listen to the words I speak to you.

 

The Annunciation

1. Jesus: This is the day that I have made for you. Each day is a great gift I give to you – given from God, each day you can receive more and more grace to help you and to help souls. At this very moment there are many souls on the edge of death that may suffer for all eternity the fires of everlasting hell. I call to you My beloved ones to pray with all your hearts to join in one mind, in one heart, to put aside all differences that you hold in your heart and to come to Me, to come through the heart of My Mother into My Most Sacred Heart and let Me bathe you in My love, that you will respond in love to each and every person that you touch, that My life will radiate from you, that My life will be a life that all will feel as you unite to them in this world.

2. R. The source of all life is the Almighty God. You see a baby in the womb of their mother. How dependent this baby is on their mother. The baby’s life flows through the mother, but the source of this life is the Almighty God. God came into this earth a little baby in the womb of the Virgin Mary. He came and He showed us the way – the way to Him is through the spiritual womb of Mary. If the Almighty God could come to this earth through the Virgin Mary why are men so proud and haughty in their hearts that they do not think that they should come through the Virgin Mary to go to God?

3. R. The angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary and asked her to be the Mother of God. This is the Father’s Plan. He chose the Virgin Mary to be the Mother of God. Look at this world today and see how Mary, our Mother, is rejected by so many. It is because of pride and ignorance that many reject their heavenly mother. She is your spiritual Mother. It is through her, through her heart, her spiritual womb, that we will unite in the deepest union with the Heart of Jesus.

4. R. And so you say, “how do I go to the heart of Mary? How do I go to the Heart of Jesus? How great will the suffering be?” How much will we be reduced to a dependent, helpless baby before we realize that we should go to the heart of Mary? How great will the suffering be until we feel that we cannot go anywhere and then we say, “Mary, I want to go to your heart, my spiritual womb – for it is so hard that I know I will be protected there.” As the life flowed through the body of Mary into the child Jesus, His life flows into us for life comes from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, through Mary, and it flows into us. Why are we so resistant? In message after message Jesus tells us that we must dwell in Their Hearts. It is in dwelling in Their Hearts that we are saturated with Their love. But He allows us to suffer, and suffer, and suffer, until finally we cry out, “God, I am dependent upon You, and I give You myself. I give myself to You. O Holy Mother, I give myself to you. Why do we not surrender? How will He get us to surrender? He allows us to struggle and struggle and yet we resist. Mary said at Fatima, “until a sufficient number have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary we will not have peace in this world.” How could we have peace if our hearts are not hearts of love?

5. R. The Almighty God came in the womb of the Virgin Mary. He showed us the way. It was through the power of the Holy Spirit that the Word was made flesh. The Holy Spirit works in the heart of Mary to transform us, more and more, into the image and likeness of Jesus. There is not another way. As hard at it may seem, in the end we will all go to the heart of Mary and then deeply to the Heart of Jesus. We must surrender. How much suffering will He send to us before we surrender and give ourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This is our refuge. This is our strength. This is the way. This is the message she gave at Fatima. We are to give ourselves in consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

6. R. There are so many things that we can turn to when we are frustrated and upset but there is only one way. All of the other ways leave us empty and we have missed a golden opportunity to unite to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Jesus is giving us great gifts in these sufferings that we will want to go to Their Hearts our little heaven on earth. What are we using this day that is keeping us from going to Their Hearts? This is the way, for the sufferings will come and they will be hard sufferings – we will survive by going to Their Hearts: the Heart of Jesus, the heart of Mary. They are one in Their Hearts. We must all be one in Their Hearts. We are one in Him – filled with His life. I go to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Let us be bathed in Their Hearts that in all the struggles and all the suffering we will have this place of refuge in the cold and dark night. As the Child Jesus was carried in the womb of His Mother, we too will be held secure in the spiritual womb or the Heart of our heavenly Mother for she will care for us as she cared for the Child Jesus.

7. R. Have you suffered enough yet? Do you know what it is to surrender, to give in and to say, “Mary, I give you my all, Jesus I give You my all?” It is in this surrender, in this dying to ourselves, that we will have peace for He wants to live and to operate through us, His chosen apostles, and He is allowing us to suffer at this moment, to bring us to this place where we say, “I surrender to You, God. I give my all to You. Take me, use me, for this is my greatest desire.”

8. R. He laid down His life for us. He is asking us to lay down our lives for Him and for one another. Then, our hearts will be filled with love. Then, our hearts will be satisfied for it is only in Him that we will have peace and joy in our hearts. Jesus came in the womb of Mary. We will unite to the Almighty God in the greatest love when we go to the Heart, the spiritual womb, of our heavenly Mother and she takes us deeply into the Heart of Jesus.

9. R. If it gets bad enough, where do we turn? Where do we go when we have tried everything? Nothing will give us relief from the suffering. Why should we wait until He tries and tests us? Let us give our hearts, today, to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary – the Hearts of greatest love.

10. R. God loved us so much that He sent His only begotten Son into this world, a helpless baby. God loved us so much that He gave Himself on the cross. God gives Himself to us. This is love. What is union? What is oneness? This is what God wants of us. This is what God wants in the Shepherds of Christ Movement – that we will be one with each other, one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We will have oneness in proportion to which we give ourselves to Him. God loves us so much. God wants union with us.

 

The Visitation

1. Jesus: Why do you hold back, My beloved ones? I am calling you to this intense union. You must give of yourselves to Me. You will suffer and you will surrender. I am giving to you great graces to join in such love in My Heart. You must surrender now and come to Me. You are My apostles that will carry the message to the world that is hurting and in pain. It is in this oneness that there will be one flock and one shepherd. You are the leaders that will carry this message into this world. You must give yourselves to Me. I am allowing you to suffer at this moment. It is in this suffering that you will surrender and grow more and more in My life, so I will use you and operate in you. As you walk, I live in you, and I minister to this world through you. You have been called, you have been chosen, you are My beloved ones. You are My leaders in this Movement to carry the message of My love to a world that is suffering and in pain. Will you answer My call with all your hearts, with all your soul, with all your being? I press you tenderly against My chest. I am Jesus, I am calling out to you. I want to give to you the love that your heart desires.

Song: Give Me Your Heart Oh Jesus

2. R. When we do good we cooperate with God’s grace. I am holy because He gives me the grace to be holy and I respond favorably. It is because of His grace and I respond. If He takes His grace away, I see myself and how dependent I am entirely on Him, and His grace. Who am I to judge that I am better than anyone else. God gifts us abundantly. I give myself to You, God, for I realize that I am entirely dependent upon You and I beg You to give me Your grace and I will act in Your goodness for I know by myself, I cannot do what You call me to do. God, I am entirely dependent on You. Jesus came into this world in the womb of His Mother. He showed us that God could come, as a helpless baby, an embryo, in the womb of a human person – and He was God. Why do we hold onto our pride? Why will we not surrender? We must go to Him and beg Him for this grace. We are dependent upon His grace. He outpours His grace in greatest abundance in the Eucharist and before the tabernacle.

Mary carried the child Jesus within her womb. God gives Himself to us – Jesus is present in the Eucharist no less than the day He walked the earth. He outpours His life to us in the Eucharist and before the tabernacle. His life is His grace. We are dependent on His grace. As His apostles we go into this world. We are filled with His life, richly given to us through the Eucharist and in front of the tabernacle. We are dependent on His grace. Sweet Jesus, give us the grace that we may carry out the plan of the Father to help lead souls to You. And I heard Jesus cry out, “Bring Me souls, bring Me souls”

Song: Bring Me Souls

– for He came into the world a helpless baby and He gave Himself on the cross for love of His precious souls, and He is beckoning us this day, as His apostles, to go forth to carry the message of His love. He wants to be one in us. He no longer walks this earth, He lives in us in a special way, when we are baptized and in the state of grace. Let us go to the Eucharist and the tabernacle and be bathed with this light and His grace. His life will radiate from our being, and we will be the instrument that He has chosen us to be in this world.

3. R. Do you see our beloved, our beautiful, heavenly Mother, Mary – all pure and sinless, as she carried the child Jesus within her womb? Think of the radiance, for Mary is full of grace – His life radiating from her very being. The more we go to the Eucharist, the more we are filled with His grace – Jesus is in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity. We will be saturated with this life the more we go to the Eucharist.

4. R. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity. Look at the great gift that God has given and how He is ignored and rejected in the Eucharist. This is our calling - this is our mission: to spread the message of His love, the message of the true presence, to carry this out to the world that is suffering, to send them to the Eucharist to receive His life, the bread of life, for He feeds us with Himself. Jesus no longer walks the earth but He is truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. How God is offended by how He is treated! We must make reparation to Him for the injustices, the neglect and the hatred of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

5. R. Mary is Mother of the Eucharist. She told me a long time ago that every time that I lead a rosary I should speak about the Eucharist. Jesus no longer walks the earth, He is truly present in His Divinity and humanity in the Eucharist. We must give ourselves entirely to Him for it is in proportion to how we surrender ourselves and give ourselves to Him that we will unite as we love and serve Him doing God’s will. He gives us His love. How much suffering will we suffer before we realize that there is not another way – this is the only way, and He will pursue us with the hounds of heaven until we surrender and give ourselves.

Jesus: For you have been called and chosen by Me. I am Jesus, the Son of God. You are My apostles that I am calling to go into this world and I knew that you would answer the call and come to Me. I am giving to you this grace to be My apostles, My leaders to spread the love of My heart to this hurting and suffering world.

R. Mary carried the Light of the world within her womb; we receive the Almighty God in us when we go to the Holy Eucharist and He lives within us. Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in a special way in the graced, baptized soul. As we go about our daily lives, let us be His instruments in the world. Life flows from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, through the heart of Mary, to us. He is ministering to the hurting world this day through us, His apostles, that He is sending into the new era of peace and love. He has called us to be Christ to one another. In this world there is much suffering. It is very hard to love the unloving. He calls us to be Christ to one another. How would Christ act? Does He act as I act?

Jesus: It is My grace, My child. You must surrender and come to Me and tell Me how you thirst and long for My grace, for My life. I am waiting for you in the Blessed Sacrament. I will saturate you with this life when you come to Me. This is a Divine Plan. You are part of My Father’s Plan. This is His work. You must come to Me. I will fill you with My love. I will give you wisdom for your decisions so you will know the Father’s will for you.

R. Mary carried the child Jesus within her womb, we receive Jesus within us when we go to the Eucharist. Let us thank Him, and ask Him to give us great grace at this moment that He will live in us as we go into the world.

6. Hail Mary
7. Hail Mary

8. R. Mary is espoused to the Holy Spirit. Mary conceived the child Jesus – Jesus is a Divine Person with two natures: a human nature and a Divine nature. It is in the spiritual womb of Mary, her Immaculate Heart, that we find our little heaven on earth – our souls were created by the Father for His love. Nothing will satisfy the starving soul but the love of God. You must go to Their Hearts to be filled with this love.

Jesus: You are not alone. At every moment I am with you. I will not abandon you, I will not forget you. You are being guarded, My beloved apostles. I am sending you into the world to carry My light into the darkness.

9. Hail Mary
10. Hail Mary

 

 

The Birth of Our Lord

1. R. See the child Jesus in the stable in Bethlehem. This is the Almighty God. He comes into the world a little baby that cannot talk, a little baby, Jesus the Divine Almighty God.  The Almighty God subjected Himself to this for love of us.

Who are the high and mighty who, in our pride, think that they do not have to go through Mary to become very close to God. The devil has waged a war against Mary, mother of all children. How this offends her Immaculate Heart, when we ignore our spiritual Mother. Mary has asked us at Fatima to help make reparation to her heart that is pierced with thorns because of the way she is treated by her children. Jesus came into this world a little baby, the child of Mary. It is in being the child of Mary, and the child of our Father, dependent entirely upon Him, that we will more fully follow Christ. Do you see Jesus, a little baby laying in a stable? We must go to Mary and our Father, as this little baby, dependent on Them.

2. R. It is in dwelling in the heart of Mary that she will teach us about the virtues. Mary possesses the virtues more perfectly than any human person for she is humble, caring, obedient, tender and she is filled with gentleness and love. It is in her heart that we will be saturated by God’s love and that the Holy Spirit will work to form us more into the image of the Christ Child. Oh, heart of Mary, we give ourselves to you for we want to be likened to Jesus, our Savior. We want to be a light. Jesus is the light of the world. We want to be the lights that shine in this world against the darkness. There are many stars in the sky. The stars that are saturated with His life are the brightest stars. The Father wants this earth to be covered with light. We must go to Him that we will be saturated with His life and shine as bright lights in the darkened world.

3. R. As more and more hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the world will be lighted with this light. It is through us that He is spreading this consecration in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. We will go into the great era of peace if the majority of hearts are hearts of love. We will go into this era in peace but if the majority of hearts continue offending our Lord and remain filled with hatred and anger and darkness, then the hearts will respond with hatred and we will have many wars.

This is the good news: that God has called us to be apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to help to spread this consecration. This is Mary’s Peace Plan. If we work and work there could be peace. We must pray fervently for His grace to help us to be worthy apostles – apostles that will proceed fearlessly ahead to spread His love - the consecration of Their Hearts.

4. R. And the star shone above the bed of Jesus in the town of Bethlehem. This light will shine through us as we are saturated more and more with His life.

5. R. How are our actions this day? Do we see the light of Christ shine through us?

My beloved Jesus, it is a grace that You give to us and it is in Your grace that I am good. I am totally dependent upon You for this grace. I beg You, God, to help me to be more and more like You.

Mary places me in the Heart of Jesus and it is there, in the deepest chamber of His Heart, that I unite to the Father’s love.

6. R. Do you know what it is to be embraced with the celestial embrace of the Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit? This is what our soul craves: for all eternity to have this presence of God, this vision of God – the beatific vision. We crave this, we want this. We will not be satisfied until we are in heaven, but He wants this deep union with each one of us here. He wants us to be wrapped by His Divine embrace and to know His love in a special way. While we are here, let us give our hearts to Jesus and Mary. He promised Fr. Carter (in the message in the Handbook) that He is giving great grace that we will be joined ever closer in Their Hearts.

7. R. Oh, Baby Jesus, I see You in a stable and You look so calm and at peace, but I know how You suffered. It is in Your suffering, in Your death, that You rose on the third day. It is in our suffering that we grow more and more in Your life.

8. R. Why do we balk at suffering when it is in the suffering that we are given the great gift of greater life in Him?

9. Hail Mary

10. Hail Mary

 

The Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple

1. R. It is in four mysteries of this Joyful Mystery that we see Christ dependent upon His Mother. He was carried in her womb in two of the mysteries and in the third mystery and fourth mystery, He is a little baby. Why are we so high and mighty that we think that we do not have to be dependent upon God, that we do not have to go to our Mother as a little baby?

2. R. Joseph and Mary took the child Jesus to the temple, and it was there that they met the old man Simeon and he prophesized the suffering to come.

3. R. Many souls, many souls, will go to heaven. By the blood of Jesus, we are saved. Jesus and Mary had to suffer. It is in Their Hearts that They show us this day — Their Hearts surrounded by thorns – They show us Their Hearts with thorns. So few look at Their Hearts and realize the deep love that God has for us.

4. R. Do we see Jesus show His Heart? Do we see the Heart, with the cross above it, surrounded by thorns? Do we realize that He is called the Sacred Heart? Mary wants us to emphasize her Immaculate Heart, but we want this little lip service love with Them. They are showing us Their Hearts. Jesus gave Himself on the cross because He wants this deep love with us. He shows us His battered body. Do we still go along reciting empty words? Are we blind that we do not see, that the emphasis is on the heart?

5. R. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary: Her Heart was invisibly pierced with a sword. Think of the seven sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The old man Simeon told Mary, “a sword too shall pierce your heart, O Mary.” We must let go and let Him work in our hearts. He cries out about the cold hearts of this world. We are the apostles that He has chosen to go out into this world and to spread the messages of His burning love. Does His love burn in our hearts?

6. R. He shows us His Burning Heart. This is love. He wants us to love Him in return.

7. R. You see the face and miss the heart.

8. Jesus: How My Heart bleeds for My beloved souls. I am calling you to the deepest union, My beloved ones.

9. R. Mary’s heart was invisibly pierced with a sword. How Mary suffered! We cannot even imagine minutely the sufferings of Mary in her heart. This is the love that Jesus and Mary have for all of us.

10. R. I suffered so many agonies of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary that I cannot even express those things – the suffering, the messages that Jesus has delivered, are etched deeply in my heart. The cry is the same – They are longing for love, not lip service love; but deep love - love greater than we have with any person on this earth, love between the Divine Lord and us.

It is the perfect fit. Our souls crave this love. God wants to give us this love. This is the message that we need to deliver to the world.

 

The Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple

1. Jesus: My beloved children, picture your brother at this moment on the edge of death, the brother that you love. His life is ended. Every moment that was so important, now is so unimportant, for the moment is here and he will go to heaven or to hell or to purgatory. See someone that you love at this moment on the edge of death – someone you love dearly and you know has the chance of losing their soul. Do you want them to go to heaven? Do you wish that all would pray for them because you love them?

I love each and every soul so much that I gave My life for them. Your brother is on the edge of death at this moment and may be lost for all eternity to the fires of hell. What you do every second of your life is important in helping souls to get to heaven if you are doing what God wants in love. You must unite every action that you perform to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and offer it as a sacrifice to help so souls will be converted and go to heaven. You must spread this message to all the world for it is in prayer that you can help bring down great grace for souls. I am calling out to you to spread this message to all.

2. R. Jesus was lost in the temple. In Mary’s heart there was such fear for, from the prophecy of Simeon, she knew of the sufferings to come and she knew when she was separated from Him, sufferings that she would suffer some day.

3. R. Mary and Jesus show us Their Hearts, red and beautiful, surrounded with thorns. This is how it is with us. Our hearts are filled with emotion of sorrow and joy at the same time. It is in dwelling in Their Hearts that our hearts will constantly be hearts of love despite the sufferings and how we are pressed on. This is where the key of the world lies: hearts that dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary are hearts of love. Mary said that peace or war of the world depends on whether or not hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

4. R. Mary appeared to me for almost fourteen months and for nine months of those fourteen she called out about children that would go to hell. It is so hard to know what you know and so many will not listen. What do you do when your heavenly Mother appears and delivers this message? People do not want to listen, but we know it, day after day, after day, it is etched deeply in my heart.

I cry out to you tonight for the sake of our heavenly Mother and her urgent message. We must give all our hearts – give our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and pray for the grace to carry out the great mission as apostles of the Almighty God – apostles to spread the love of the two Hearts to the world for the peace or war of the world depends on this.

5. R. Do you see the youth this day? Mary is calling us to spread the rosary and the consecration to the children. It is so easy. The children are so thirsty for this message. These are Mary’s little, lost children in the world today. This was her message during this mystery of the rosary every time I prayed the Joyful Mysteries for nine months. How can we say ‘no’ to our heavenly Mother when we see how the children are suffering? This is our Mother Mary that is asking us to do this. I can only deliver the message. I am the messenger. You are the messengers that have been called here. The message has been delivered to you from our heavenly Mother. I delivered the message with much frustration for I know, I know what Mary has said. I have seen Mary. I suffered the agonies of her heart but the message is a message for the apostles of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, for they are the chosen ones from the Almighty God to carry this message into this world.

6. R. Do we hear the cry of Mary to spread the rosary and the consecration to the children? Can we help to do this for Mary’s lost children today?

7. R. We are all Mary’s children. So many of the children will be doomed forever to the fires of hell. Mary’s peace plan at Fatima was this: We must consecrate our hearts, we must pray the rosary; we must observe the First Saturday devotion and we must make reparation to Their Hearts. It is so simple. If we observe these practices we will have peace in this world. Mary delivered the same message to me and she is delivering these rosaries as a big part of the completion of the Fatima message – rosary, after rosary, after rosary – fourteen months of rosaries, almost every day Mary appeared. We must consecrate our hearts, say the rosary, practice the First Saturday devotion, making reparation to Their Hearts.

8. R. In the Shepherds of Christ Movement we are spreading this consecration to the world for the Shepherds of Christ Movement is a big part of the completion of the Fatima message. Rosary, after rosary, after rosary – Mary has given, as a teaching tool, to teach the world about the love of Their Two Hearts. When she has given to us this great gift – to appear almost every day for fourteen months, how can we say no to our heavenly Mother for this rosary is a big part of the completion of the Fatima message. And, the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and we go forth as apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to help in the completion of this message delivered by Mary in 1917. And the sun looked as if it came crashing to the earth and it went back to the sky or so it appeared and when 70,000 people watched this great phenomenon the world ignored the messages of Mary and there was World War II and as she said, “communism would spread her error.”

Mary has delivered this message to me almost every day for fourteen months and she has called you here to hear this message. I see what happened in World War II and it makes me sick for Mary has talked to me and I know what she says. I have seen her in front of me. I have been ignored. You are the apostles to go forth into the world. The peace or war of the world depends on the four requirements that Mary gave at Fatima. As we spread the Shepherds of Christ Movement to this world we will go more peaceably into this era of peace. If hearts are squeezed and they are hearts of love, they can turn to God. If hearts are squeezed and they are hearts of hate, there will be war. If the majority of the hearts are hearts of love we can have peace in this world for our heavenly Mother has appeared over and over again and given us her peace plan, that if we ignore God and continue to offend Him, when our hearts are squeezed we will have a situation similar to what happened in World War II for hearts filled with hate, when squeezed, respond in hate. We are the apostles to carry this message to the world. It is God’s movement for the renewal of the Church and the world. As churches are consecrated in one mind, in one heart, the church will be a city of light that will shine as a beacon light to the darkened world. Through the Priestly Newsletter and through the Consecration of Their Hearts, these cities of light will shine all over the world.

Jesus: You have been called and you have been chosen, My apostles, to carry these messages to the world. Until the messages of My burning love are circulated, there will not be peace in this world. Men’s hearts are cold and filled with hatred. I am giving to you abundant grace to join in one heart with each other to carry this message to the world. You must love. You must not give in to the temptation of satan to divide. You do not understand the magnitude of this plan for millions and millions of souls, this day and for generations to come, will be hearts of love, depending on how you, My apostles, answer this call today. You have been called and chosen to hear this message. You will be taunted - you will be tested, for millions and millions of souls are at stake and millions and millions of souls will fervently love Me because of your fervor and love in spreading My Movement.

9. R. If we turned out all the lights and put out all the candles in this room it would be black. One light shines with the brightest light in the darkest night.

Jesus: You, My beloved ones, are the lights to this world. Each and every person called here is an apostle. To go into the world you must not give into the temptation of satan to stop you. You must not give up. If you love and serve the Lord you will know the heavenly embrace that you will have for all eternity. You will be wrapped forever in the embrace of the Almighty God and many, many millions of souls will be wrapped in this embrace because of the work that you do today. These years are so few compared to all eternity.

R. And their hearts were filled with love for they knew the love of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

Jesus: Give Me your heart and your life and I will live in you and operate through you. It is through your efforts that you can reach millions of souls. I will magnify the work that you do. I Am Who Am. I Am the Almighty God, all powerful and almighty, and I call you, My apostles, My shepherds, to carry this message to the world. I love you, I love you, I love you.

10. Hail Mary

Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year (2011/2012)
$ 10.00

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 - Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Litugical Year
$ 10.00

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
