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.

Excerpt from Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, how I love to enfold you in my arms as my little child! Enfolded in my arms in my maternal embrace, I press you against my Immaculate Heart. I draw you within my Heart. There, through my maternal intercession, I clothe you with Jesus' graces. As you dwell in my Heart, I place you ever more deeply within Jesus' Heart and there the Holy Spirit fashions you increasingly in the image of my Son. As you grow in the likeness of Jesus, He takes you ever closer to the Father.
"Thus, as you grow in the sense of your helplessness without God, the stronger you become in Jesus. Childlike thus becomes strength. The smaller you become in living out spiritual childhood, the taller you stand beside Jesus. Weakness becomes strength, your sense of helplessness becomes spiritual maturity!
"Tell all my children about the wonders of spiritual childhood! Tell them to come to me and I will school them in its ways. How I love all my children! Oh, how I love to exercise my motherhood toward them all!"
Reflection: In the Gospel, Jesus speaks emphatically to us about spiritual childhood: "At this time the disciples came to Jesus and said, 'Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?' So he called a little child to him and set the child in front of them. Then he said, 'I tell you solemnly, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. And so, the one who makes himself as little as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven'" (Matthew 18:1-4).
R. See ourselves under the gaze
of our heavenly Father –
How do we see?
How do we listen to God in obeying
His commandments as little
children under God.
Jesus: I am the way, the truth
and the life –
Come to Me and I will teach
you My way –
R. St. Anne who was chosen to carry
Mary, pray for our children
and grandchildren so they
stay close to Jesus.
St. Joachim's Feast is July 25th in the
Eastern Church.

R. We pray through the intercession
of St. Anne and St. Joachim

our family love with
each other.
St. Joachim was the Grandfather
of Jesus.
St. Anne and St. Joachim

Time to pray – time to meditate –
There is so much busy stuff –
We were created with hearts to grow
1. Reading and Study We have stated
more than once that Christian faith is a supernatural sharing in God's
knowing. Faith gives a share in the vision which God has, not only of
Himself, but of man. With faith we know the designs of God for full
human existence. Faith shows the way, gives the light, and bids the
Christian to commit his entire person to the following of this light. Faith must be
nourished. It can be nourished in many ways. It is certainly nourished
through the practice of mental prayer, which we have just considered. It
is nourished also by experiencing the truths of faith in life
situations. We all can say that our faith in the mercy and love of God
has been strengthened by our actual experience of these. At times
perhaps we have felt that we could almost reach out and touch this love,
so strong and vivid was its entrance into our lives. Faith is also
nourished through the liturgy. It is likewise vivified by our witnessing
the truths of Christ lived out in a more than ordinary manner by those
around us. To see how these truths can make a person noble, strong, yet
also gentle, joyful, selfless and loving can be a moving experience. It
can do wonders for our faith.
Among the various ways God has provided
for the maintenance and growth of faith is the reading of scripture.
Here we have God's revelation, here we have Christ who personally
contains this revelation. Our knowledge of the Christian life,
consequently, should be rooted in our reading of scripture. This is not
to say that scripture can stand alone. Vatican II states: "It is clear,
therefore, that Sacred Tradition, Sacred Scripture and the teaching
authority of the Church, in accord with God's most wise design, are so
linked and joined together that one cannot stand without the others, and
that all together and each in its own way under the action of the one
Holy Spirit contribute effectively to the salvation of souls."1
We are reminded by this statement that scripture needs the living voice
of the community, the Church. The Christian community as one People of
God is the guardian of the Scriptures. The connection between the
scriptures and the Church is obvious: "The Church could not wait for the
texts of holy Scripture to be written. The Church began by living. Out
of that life scriptural texts emerged and back to that life the texts
pointed. In forming the canon and in passing on the books of Scripture,
the Church did set a definitive norm for herself; but it was precisely
because there was a Church that there was a norm.”2
Although scripture does need the Church
if it is to be the living instrument of revelation that God intends it
to be, this is not to say that it fails to contain the whole of
revelation. In some way it does. We hereby come back to our original
point. The reason is obvious why the Christian should highly prize the
reading of scripture; here he will discover Christ in a most special
way. What Vatican II advises to religious could well apply to any
Christian who is serious about following Christ: "... they should have
recourse daily to the Holy Scriptures in order that ... they may learn
'the surpassing worth of knowing Jesus Christ' (Phil 3:8)."3
The important thing is to take up
scripture and read. We say this as a caution for the contemporary
Christian who is surrounded by many excellent books on scripture. He
should look upon these for what they are intended by their authors to
be, aids in reading scripture. We cannot spend all our time reading
about the various books, authors and content of scripture. We must
sensibly apportion our time so that the actual reading of the bible
receives our main effort. We must remember that God has given scripture
to the common man, not just to the scripture scholars. We welcome their
help, but we should feel confident that our reading of scripture can
bear much fruit even though we have not read the latest of the
commentaries.
The bible is the book in our
lives. Yet we need other books to help explain and interpret it.4
These include not only books directly dealing with scripture, but
theological and liturgical works, and the abundance of books dealing
with every phase of the Christian life. We must learn to pick the better
books. Today's Christian lives in a fast moving world, and the fast pace
of life highlights the necessity of using reading time well.
It is not only the most contemporary
books which must receive our attention. As time allows, we must try to
achieve at least a minimal sense of tradition regarding full Christian
living. It is somewhat dangerous to have no knowledge of the way our
forefathers lived the Christian life. To have a sense of what has
constantly been considered over the ages to be of essential value in the
Christian life is no small help in judging contemporary trends and
writings. Proper change is very important, but it must always include
the perennially valid.
This sense of the traditional and the
perennial may be achieved in various ways. To a considerable extent it
can be achieved in the reading of good contemporary writings. A man like
Karl Rahner presents an admirable example. He is a highly original and
contemporary thinker; yet at the same time he builds solidly upon the
traditional. Another means of achieving a feeling for the traditional is
through the reading of a work on the history of Christian spirituality.
Still another means is to have a knowledge of some of the great
spiritual classics. The authors of these, no matter in what age they
lived, received special light from God in understanding and living the
Christian life; hence, their writings are of great worth. Some of these
classics, for instance, the works of St. John of the Cross, will be read
only by a relatively very few, and usually only under competent
direction. Others, like many writings of St. Francis de Sales and those
of Father Edward Leen which appeared closer to our own day, can
profitably be read by anyone. Finally, the reading of scripture, which
we have just emphasized, is of prime importance in maintaining a sense
of the perennial. The authentic spirituality of all ages is rooted in
the book of books.
One's private reading and study
concerning the Christian life can be complemented in various other ways.
Besides the usual academic courses in theology and scripture, lectures
in theology, study and discussion groups, summer institutes and adult
education courses offer opportunities to grow in mature understanding of
Christianity.
In all of this we must use good common
sense. We should realize that the times call for well informed
Christians, no matter what their vocation. God expects us to take the
reasonable means which are commensurate with our time, energy, previous
education and vocational responsibilities. As always, God does not
expect the impossible, but He does expect reasonable effort. As long as
we are making such an effort, we should rest assured that we have that
knowledge of the Christian life which God wants us to have.

FOURTEEN Other Aids to Full Christian Living
December 15, 1995.
Excerpt from the Mass Book
T
HE EARTH STOPPED AND TOUCHED HEAVENI long to unite in the deepest union with Him in the Eucharist. I long for the Mass. I long for Thee, oh God. My every moment, I join as I did to You December 15 under the cross, where I felt Your presence. You whisked me away, and I was totally absorbed in that moment of celestial union with You. For that time, I existed only in You, in the deepest union, and I was in this moment existing in You. The earth stopped, and I touched the heavens, all my bodily cares were existent in You. I existed in Your Divinity, my being was in You. There was no desire or wish or wanting, for in that moment, I had all I wanted in You. I was satisfied and wanted nothing but to remain in that embrace. You were the Being, and my being existed in You, but I was only as I was in You - merged in You, knowing and being in Your Divinity and being so full as to feel complete in myself.
You are so enormous, and You surrounded me in a burning embrace, the presence of red fire. I was not little, or "nothing", but existed in this enormous power and being so complete!
I touched eternity, and in that embrace, I knew all the waiting was worth the glory. You enveloped my being, and I was truly merged in the Divine Presence. I was merged in Your being. I existed IN You, with You, in the highest union with You, although I knew I was still distinct from You.
I was fused and absorbed in You, feeling complete and satisfied. To describe this union is far beyond any work of my pen and paper. I pray for the reader of this page to receive the grace to share this experience with Him, I will now live for this union-to be forever merged In Him, to be One in Him, to reach higher perfection as I exist in Him, for He takes the lowly and gives to them a sharing in Himself. He merges with us and we exist in Him. The word "in" - I could write pages about. I long for the deepest union with Him, where I am swept up in the heavenly embrace of the Divine God, and I am IN Him.
This is heaven on earth: to be merged as one with Divinity, although remaining distinct from God, to take our feeble hearts, our lowly status and to unite ourselves with the Divine, Almighty, powerful God and in this union to be meshed with Him, that His power dominates and our humanity reaches its heights of fulfillment in this union, in this oneness with Him.
The word I have looked for is "oneness." I understand some of the meaning of the words "One in Him." Oneness is the word to describe this union of our humanity with His Divinity. The depth to which we could meditate on oneness with God is incomprehensible. In that moment, the earth stood still, and He, my Divine Lover, the Bridegroom of my soul, took me to Himself, and I knew the embrace of the Divine God.
Nothing on the face of this earth can describe our union with Divinity. Oh, good God, that creatures are so ungrateful regarding Your divine love. I am so sorry. Let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart. Please unite with me now that I may more deeply love Thee.
Oh, Divine Lover of my soul, let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart for the neglect and indifference against You.
Song from Jesus: 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.
He allowed me to experience such pain in my heart - wanting Him so badly, so many times-and then on Dec. 15, 1995 - He gave Himself to me in the deepest union.
Nothing satisfies the soul but Him. He wants the nuns and priests to love Him. He chose them to spread His love.
Souls are hungry. They will only be fed with His burning love. Priests need to talk about Jesus' love for us from the pulpit. Priests need hearts burning for love of Jesus. This will feed the hungry souls - lip service love doesn't do it.
He is alive today. He is a Person. He wants us to love Him.
end of December 17, 1995
IN THE DEEPEST RECESSES OF HIS HEART
The place Jesus took me was into the deepest recesses of His Heart. I was enveloped in His burning love. It was a red room with heat and an intense glow. I was swept away in this embrace, and I only existed in Him. The power of the Almighty God enveloped me, and I only existed in Him. There was no fear, for I was existent in this Almighty Being. My heart was wrapped in the eternal embrace of this Supreme Being. The security, the power I know was His deep presence in which I existed.
I knew the room was red and warm. I knew His immenseness, but I felt my own completeness in Him. I did not feel little, as a speck, but elevated and empowered for I existed then in Him in a most special way.
I was overtaken by the love of God. The fire of the Holy Spirit filled me. I was absorbed by the love of the Father, and I existed IN Him and in the deepest recesses of the Heart of Jesus. Our heaven on earth is these inner chambers of His magnificent Heart - the Heart of the Almighty God, with all the power, with omnipotence, with the fire of the love of God. He took me to the deepest chamber of this fiery Heart, and in that moment, I touched eternity, for I knew what it was to be enveloped in the deep furnace of His love. I now want to exist in this chamber of His Heart, swept away in His burning love, absorbed in my every cell with His love.
We do not understand the fire of His love. We do not understand what it is to be absorbed by love itself. He took me to the inner, deepest chamber of His Heart, and I felt the heat and knew the presence of love itself, and there was no fear, only a feeling of completeness, omnipotence, all-embracing, penetrating love - a power indescribable in words, a saturation of my being in the presence of God, and I was as I was created to be - living in Him!
This is how I will forever live my life, saturated with His divine life and love deep within this inner chamber of His burning Heart, living in Him as He possesses my being, and I operate with His power in me.
Little creatures though we are, we are His, His power, His life, flowing through us. In Him, we are as the Father intended: one in Him, each one of us, dwelling in this fiery furnace of His love. With our fears quieted and our hearts empowered by His life, we live forever in Him - in the Heart of Jesus.
Let no man separate what God has joined together. I am wed in the deepest love with my beloved Spouse, wed to the Heart of Jesus. As I am, I am one in Him. I live and I breathe in Him. He, Who is love, He Who is our all, He Who is mighty and without limits, He Who is, He Who is God and as I live, He lives in me in this world.
I am wed to Him, and I shall not fear for He is God - one, complete, loving, God. Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in Thee. As I live, I live in Your most adorable Heart, the furnace of God's love!

We must realize that we need to go to
God and try to develop this
interior life –
Our hearts were made for this –
How is the interior disposition
at Mass?
We live with this presence
of God in us –
So we say with St. Paul –
it is no longer, I who
live, but Christ who
lives in me –
Dwelling in the Heart of Jesus
brings peace to the soul –
This is the heights for which
God created us –
Union with God –
Living In Him –
The Christ-life –
Life in the Holy Spirit –
It is God dwelling in us –
inhabiting the soul – it
is on our way to full
Christian maturity as
God intends
Dwelling in Their Hearts –
Fear of God – not wanting to
offend God –
Being alone with God –
Knowing Presence of God
in us.
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, I wish all my children to come to my Immaculate Heart each day. I cooperate with the Holy Spirit in helping all my little ones to grow in the life of the Christian virtues. As my children dwell within my maternal Heart, the Holy Spirit leads them along the path of the virtues. Faith, hope, love, prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, humility, chastity, and the other virtues take deeper root in the hearts of my children. Above all, the queen of the virtues, love, increasingly rules the lives of my little ones.
"I am ever at the side of my children to help them grow in the life of the virtues. As I do so, I place them more deeply within the Heart of Jesus, the source of growth in all the virtues. The Holy Spirit, then, desires that my children dwell both within my Heart and Jesus' Heart. Within Our Hearts He clothes you with growth in the life of the virtues. The more you dwell in my Heart, the more ready you are for my placing you deeply within the Heart of Jesus where the Holy Spirit clothes you more and more with the splendor of all the virtues. Thus you grow in the likeness of Christ, and Jesus unites you more closely to the Father."
Reflection: Since Mary is our spiritual Mother, she has a special God-given role in helping us grow in the life of the Christian virtues. As she tenderly and lovingly leads us in the life of the virtues, she is our great model in how to follow Christ. She lived the Christian virtues perfectly. She is so eager to help us increasingly put on Christ through a more dynamic living of the Christian virtues, especially the virtue of love.
Children of Mary
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, how often I have embraced you! How often I have told you how much I love you! How often, at your request, I have held you in my arms as my child. You have told me you realize how helpless you are of yourself, but how strong and secure you feel dwelling in my heart and Jesus' Heart. Your sense of your littleness and helplessness endears you to me all the more. I take you ever more securely to my maternal and Immaculate Heart. Tell all my people of the riches you have found within my heart. Tell them how I place you within my Son's Heart. Tell them that, because of my motherly action, you are now more closely united with Jesus than ever before. Tell my people to come to my heart and draw forth similar riches. Tell all my little ones that Jesus, Who is Lord and Master, bids me to lead all to His Sacred Heart. The more my little ones dwell within my Immaculate Heart, the more I place them within Jesus' Heart. Oh, how I love all my little ones! How I love to bring them to the Heart of Jesus!"
Reflection: Again, let us remind ourselves that we live in the Age of the Two Hearts. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are inseparable. The more we dwell in Mary's heart, the more she places us within Jesus' Heart. Within these Two Hearts, the Holy Spirit fashions us more and more in the likeness of Christ, and the more we become like Christ, the more closely He unites us to the Father.
Spiritual Childhood
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, how I love to enfold you in my arms as my little child! Enfolded in my arms in my maternal embrace, I press you against my Immaculate Heart. I draw you within my Heart. There, through my maternal intercession, I clothe you with Jesus' graces. As you dwell in my Heart, I place you ever more deeply within Jesus' Heart and there the Holy Spirit fashions you increasingly in the image of my Son. As you grow in the likeness of Jesus, He takes you ever closer to the Father.
"Thus, as you grow in the sense of your helplessness without God, the stronger you become in Jesus. Childlike thus becomes strength. The smaller you become in living out spiritual childhood, the taller you stand beside Jesus. Weakness becomes strength, your sense of helplessness becomes spiritual maturity!
"Tell all my children about the wonders of spiritual childhood! Tell them to come to me and I will school them in its ways. How I love all my children! Oh, how I love to exercise my motherhood toward them all!"
Reflection: In the Gospel, Jesus speaks emphatically to us about spiritual childhood: "At this time the disciples came to Jesus and said, 'Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?' So he called a little child to him and set the child in front of them. Then he said, 'I tell you solemnly, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. And so, the one who makes himself as little as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven'" (Matthew 18:1-4).
Come to Our Hearts
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, how I love you! You give me such great joy because you love to dwell in my Immaculate Heart. In my great love for you, I have obtained this grace for you—that you love to dwell in my Heart! In my Heart, I caress you as a little child. I shower you with expressions of my motherly love. I take you each day to the Heart of Jesus and place you deeply within His Heart. How you love for me to do this, and how I love to do it! Tell all my little ones of the riches you have discovered in my Heart and Jesus' Heart. Tell them to come to Our Hearts in order to experience similar riches. Oh, how I love all my little ones, and how I long for them to come to me!"
Reflection: Again, we are reminded that we live in the age of the Two Hearts. Great graces are given to those who practice devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. These Two Hearts are given to us as our special refuge during this most critical stage of human history.
Mary as Our Mediatrix
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, I have given you a profound conviction of how necessary it is to realize I am your motherly mediatrix with Jesus. I have been appointed by the Triune God. Constantly remind all my little ones of this great truth! The more my little ones give themselves to my maternal and Immaculate Heart, the more I bring them to the Heart of Jesus!"
Reflection: Some mistakenly think that Mary "gets in the way" of their relationship with Jesus. How far from the truth is this erroneous attitude. Mary's role in our salvation has been willed by God. Enough said!
Mary, Model and Teacher of Love
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, I have led you to greatly increase your prayers and sacrifices for others. I have often reminded you of my teaching at Fatima—that many souls go to Hell because they have no one to pray and make sacrifices for them. My Immaculate Heart longs that all my little ones be saved. Tell my little ones that they must love their neighbor through prayer, sacrifices, and other ways, too. All should learn from me. My Heart is symbol, not only of my great love for God, but also of my tender love for all my little ones. Imitate my love for God and all my children. If you love Jesus and me, this means you also love all of God's children. Jesus died for all. You cannot exclude anyone from your love.
"My Heart is the perfect imitator of the Heart of my Son. I will teach you how to love the Father and all mankind after the example of Jesus. All my little ones, I long for you to come to my Heart so I can teach you the ways of love! I love you so much! Come to my Immaculate Heart. Pressed against my Heart, I will hold you in my arms. I will clothe you with my motherly and protective mantle. As I hold you close to my Heart, I will teach you the ways of love!"
Reflection: In the above message, our dear mother tenderly reminds us that the following of Jesus is summed up in love of God and neighbor.
Mary Our Mother
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to come to My Mother. From the cross, as I was suffering indescribable agony, I gave Mary as spiritual Mother to the world. My great love for My people prompted Me to do this. I am Lord and Master, and I want My people to come to My Mother and their Mother. If you wish to be close to Me, come to Mary. Consecrate yourselves to her. In this way you will grow into the closest union with Me. Through her Immaculate Heart, you will be drawn more and more into My own Heart. It is My desire that you allow My Mother to place you within My Heart which loves you with an unfathomable love! This is My wish—that you come to Me enfolded by Mary's mantle, cradled in her arms, pressed against her Heart."
Reflection: It is God's will that we approach Jesus in union with Mary. Enough said!
The Riches of the Immaculate Heart
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, how often I have pressed you to my maternal and Immaculate Heart in the greatest love! How often I allow you to taste the sweetness of this Heart. How often I make you aware that my Heart is your refuge where you feel so much loved, where you feel so secure, where you feel bathed in peace! I desire that you tell all the people about the riches contained in my Immaculate Heart. Tell my people to come to my Heart each day. I will caress them with my maternal love. I will lead them ever closer to the Sacred Heart of my Son. I will tell them to listen to Jesus. I will remind them that He is their Lord and Master. I will remind them to do whatever He tells them to do.
"Yes, my dearly beloved son, tell my people all these things. Keep reminding them of my great love for them. Keep reminding them how I love to draw them to my maternal and Immaculate Heart!"
Reflection: Is there anyone who, listening to these words of Mary, does not long for a closer union with the loving Heart of our Mother?
The Tears and Sorrows of Mary
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, I have given you a great devotion to my sorrows and tears. Tell my people about this devotion. Tell them I promise great blessings to all who say seven Hail Marys each day in honor of my tears and seven sorrows. Included in my promise is that of granting special assistance at the hour of death. At this moment, all who practice this devotion will see my face."
Reflection: Listed below are the seven sorrows of Mary. Let us each day recall these sorrows as we pray the seven Hail Marys as Our Lady requests.
The prophecy of Simeon.
The Flight into Egypt.
The loss of Jesus in the Temple.
Jesus and Mary meet during the way of the cross.
Mary witnesses the crucifixion of her Son.
Jesus is taken down from the cross and laid in Mary's arms.
The burial of Jesus.

July 24, 1999 An apostle is one who lives to serve the Lord The Annunciation Messenger: Christ is the
first-fruits. The Son comes into the womb of the
Virgin to set the sinful men free. Jesus is Redeemer, Savior, King of the
world. Men have been held captive by the devil. Christ will enter into the belly of the
earth, He will rise victorious from a new tomb. The snare of the devil is so great, the
power of the Almighty God is greater. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega. The One in the womb of the Woman is the
promised Redeemer. He is to die to release the captives
from their captivity. A Son, A Counselor, a Prince of peace. The Visitation Messenger: John the Baptist was
beheaded. Christ comes, the Head of His Body the
Church. John the Baptist, the voice of one
crying in the desert. Christ the first-fruits, the One slain
to pay the price of the sinful race. Christ the Lamb of God. Christ the Son of God. Christ the Redeemer. Mary the spotless Virgin. Mary the Mother all pure. Mary Mother of the whole human race. A
time of trial, a time of joy, a victory, the Son of God comes to
save sinful men. The Nativity ...all generations will call me blessed,
(Lk 1:48) Messenger: Through her powerful
intercession great grace is released. Through the purity of offering sacrifice
united to Mary’s Immaculate Heart, great grace is released. The Son comes in Mary’s womb. Jesus shows us the great gift of coming
in Mary’s spiritual womb, her Immaculate Heart. The Church advanced greatly while Mary
was on earth. We realize that we can offer sacrifice
aided by her powerful intercession. We need to realize that we should always
pray united to her powerful intercession. The Holy Spirit works in conjunction
with His spouse, the Virgin Mary. With Mary powerfully interceding for us,
we need the workings of the Holy Spirit to become more sanctified,
to offer a holy sacrifice, to fight off any power the devil may have
to interfere with our good work. The Presentation Messenger: This child is destined
for the fall and rise of many in Israel. Mary’s children do not recognize the
power of praying united to her powerful intercession. Mary’s sorrow is that her children do
not recognize the importance of her Immaculate Heart in the plan of
salvation. Mary is the handmaid of the Lord. Jesus is the Sacrifice. We offer ourselves as a sacrifice to the
Father through her powerful intercession. We take time at Mass. We prepare our hearts before Mass. We give our hearts to Jesus and Mary in
consecration before Mass. We come in His name to offer sacrifice.
We do not come in our own names, we are His servants. The Finding in the Temple (From the Litany of the Sacred Heart) Messenger: Jesus’ Heart is the
sacred temple of God. Therein are found the treasures of
wisdom and knowledge. (From the Litany of the Sacred Heart) Heart of Jesus, house of God and gate of
heaven, Messenger: We will find the most
intimate love in the Sacred, Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. Jesus is the pillar of light. Jesus is the One sacrificed for our
sins. Jesus is the treasure. We find refuge in His Heart.
August 15, 1995 Glorious Mysteries Rosary for Nuns and other Religious Feast of the Assumption Before the Tabernacle Received from a live recording as Rita delivered these messages from Jesus and Mary before a large group of
sisters at a convent. The Resurrection 1. 2. 
A Joyful Mystery for Apostles
Heart of Jesus, sacred temple of God,
Heart of Jesus, tabernacle of the Most High,
3. Jesus: Life is not life, if it is not rooted in Me.
4. R. See before you as clearly as possible, vividly, the picture of our beloved Jesus with His arms outstretched, His head crowned with thorns, the blood on His face and His body; His body withered and hanging from the cross. He gave the last beat of His Heart, the last drop of His blood. See Him, His withered body as it hung on the cross. Keep this picture in front of your eyes. As we meditate on these glorious mysteries, keep this picture vividly fixed in your mind.
5. R. Next to this picture, of Jesus’ Crucifixion see the picture of Jesus as He rose on the third day, victorious from the Tomb. His glorified wounds, His body glistening in light. Our beloved Savior raised from the dead, victorious! Death has no power over Jesus. We see the withered body of Jesus hanging on the cross and next to this, we see Jesus triumphant on the third day.
6. R. He has all the power. We go through our lives, a constant struggle and rising to new life. All through our day we go through these struggles and as we live in Him as He allows these events to happen in our lives, we rise more and more to life in Him. Every moment of our day, rising to new life as we become saturated more and more on our journey toward our final home in Heaven. Who are we that at Baptism, we are given a sharing in His life that we some day will be united in deepest union with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit for all eternity if we do what God wants us to do.
The Rosary is the story of life. The life from the Father, in the Spirit, the life that God the Father sent Jesus into this world in the womb of the Virgin Mary. The Baby Jesus formed in Mary’s womb, Jesus received this life for His little body from Mary, His Mother. The Rosary is the story of life. Life flows from the Father in the Spirit through the pierced Heart of Jesus in the Heart of Mary to us, as we carry His love to all those we touch.
7. R. On the way to Emmaus, Jesus walked with two disciples and He accounted for them all the Scriptures that pertained to Him, from Moses and the early prophets. When they arrived at Emmaus He broke the bread and they recognized Him. Later they said, “Were not our hearts burning within us?” As He accounted for us the Scriptures we read the scriptures, we are given the Scriptures and the Mass. We are given the Sacraments — we are given the Eucharistic Sacrifice of the Mass. We are given these gifts. Jesus is alive! He wants us to be saturated with His grace. The disciples on the way to Emmaus said, “Were not our hearts burning within us?” As He accounted for us the Scriptures, Jesus is giving to us these messages to help us to be filled with His grace in our hearts. Jesus loves; He loves each one of us with the tenderest, gentlest love and He is calling out in these Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to share more and more about Their lives with us as it flows in our hearts. He wants us to know that He is alive and outpouring His life to us.
8. R. On Ascension Thursday, I had such an experience and Jesus called out, “I am alive! I am alive! I am alive!” The emotion that I experienced and the sufferings; not sufferings that hurt, but great joy to hear His words. For He bids me to tell you how He is alive, and for three days I cried to hear what He said and to experience what I experienced. Jesus Christ IS truly the Son of God. The same Jesus that walked the earth and hung on the cross, and was carried in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Jesus Christ is in this room truly present in His Divinity and humanity. He is calling out from the Tabernacle for us to come and to unite in deeper and deeper union with Him. For He longs, He thirsts and He waits for our love. He stands by the door of our hearts and He calls out, “I am alive! I am truly present in the Eucharist. I dwell in your hearts. Minute by minute, second by second I am dwelling within you; when you are in the state of grace, in a special way.” Who are we that God dwells in us? The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us when we are baptized and in the state of grace. If we could see our own graced soul, to see the beauty of this soul filled with His life. We are given such gifts. Are not our hearts burning within us? Are we not crying out, Jesus is alive! Why do we not stand on the roof top and shout to this world that is suffering and in pain, “the medicine is the love of God.” He is alive and we have the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we have the Sacraments. We have the priests. We have you beautiful sisters. We are given such gifts. The Rosary is the story of His life and Jesus is alive! We share in His life through baptism. Are not our hearts burning within us that the Almighty God unites with us? Who are we that God loves us so much? This is the story of His life. Jesus Christ came to this earth. He lived and He died. He gave His flesh and His blood and He remains with us this day in greatest love calling out from the Tabernacle, “I am alive! I am alive! I am alive! I love you! I love you! I love you!” Do we not hear His words, His tender words of love? This is how Jesus loves. He is the bridegroom of our souls.
9. Song: Are Not Our Hearts Burning Within Us
10.
Jesus: My dear special sisters, you are chosen by Me, My beloved spouse. I am waiting and longing to unite ever closer to your heart. I love you with a burning love. I want you to love Me with a heart that is filled with burning love. I am waiting for you. Come to Me in silence. Let Me speak to you as you sit before My Tabernacle, I outpour to you more and more My abundant life. As you are filled more and more with My grace, you understand greater insights into My divine mysteries. I am giving to you a sharing in My life. Each day you understand deeper and deeper these mysteries. The mystery of My love for you. I am Jesus. I love you! I love you! I love you! I am sending you into a world that is filled with many hearts that are turning cold and hard. They are suffering. They are your brothers. Stay rooted firmly in the burning flames in My Heart. You are My beloved sisters, the stars in the sky. I have called you and I want to unite to you deeper and deeper in My love.Song:
Come Holy Spirit, Come Holy Spirit.... to be sung after each decade.
The Ascension of Jesus
1.
R. It is in Baptism that we share in His life and we are commissioned to go forth to carry the Gospel Message. To live His life, death and resurrection in our lives as we dwell more and more in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in us in a special way when we are baptized and remain in the state of grace.2.
Luke 24: 50-53Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven. They worshipped him and then went back to Jerusalem full of joy; and they were continually in the Temple praising God.
3.
Jesus: I come to you My beloved ones, with a Heart that is burning and filled with My divine love. I give to you a sharing in My life. You were commissioned in Baptism to go into this world and carry out the work that I have begun. My dear ones, My dear sisters, so precious to My Heart filled with burning love, come to Me, for I am waiting and longing for your love.4.
R. We see the apostles; simple men. We see Peter as he denied Jesus three times. They slept in the Garden. We see that they were men that lived and walked with Jesus, yet they had faults. These were the men that He chose to start His Church.Jesus:
Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build My church.5.
Acts 1: 5John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’
6.
Jesus: My beloved ones, The word is mission. I send you into this world My soldiers to go forth and to spread My love. The days here are short. They seem to linger, but the batting of an eye and your life is ended. I call you to love, love of God, love of one another. Many souls are suffering and in pain. They are your brothers. I ask you to love as I have loved you, to pray every day to the Father in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Spirit with Mary your Mother to pray for the souls of your brothers and to offer up all of your actions done in accordance to the Father’s Will. Done in great love. Such a strong prayer — Live in the Father’s Will. Unite your prayers as an offering to the Father through the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for your brothers, for the souls in Purgatory. This world is suffering and in pain. You must pray as you have never prayed before. I am Jesus. I am calling to you with whatever your state in life is at this moment to be an apostle of prayer, to spend your days living in the Father’s Will with love, performing all your actions for your suffering brothers and sisters.7.
Jesus: Prayers, My dear ones, can stop wars. Pray to your Father, pray with all your hearts. I call for a love relationship with you, that you will love Me with your whole heart, your whole soul and your whole being, not words that you recite, but a consecration to My Heart and to the Heart of My beloved Mother. I am Jesus. I am waiting for you all My dear ones, as I hung on the cross, My arms outstretched. The nails penetrating My hands and My feet. The thorns had punctured My head. My dear ones, I gave My All! But My greatest sufferings was not what you see when you look at the cross, the wounds that covered My body. My greatest sufferings were the sufferings of My Heart for the indifference, the neglect, the sacrileges committed against My Heart. For I would have suffered more for My beloved souls. I love! I love! I love each and every precious soul! I shed My blood for each soul. Each precious soul created by the Father, loved dearly by Him. Will you not pray for your beloved brothers? All of your days is a prayer for this world that is suffering and in pain. I am crying out to you My beloved ones. You are My apostles that I am sending into this world to spread My love. You cannot march on this world. You must pray with all your heart. You are My chosen ones. I AM JESUS! I love you with the deepest love.8.
R. Jesus gave to us His beloved Mother to mother us. She mothers us more than any earthly mother. She leads us on our way; our way to our home in Heaven. Jesus ascended into Heaven to prepare a place for us in our true home. He gave to us His Mother, to mother us, to mother the Church.9.
R. Let our hearts be filled with such joy for the great gifts that we are given. The sharing in His life through baptism, He loves His Church. He gives us the Mass, the Sacraments. He loves His priests, the religious. Let us thank the Almighty God for the gift of His life, the fact that we can share in this. That the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in us when we are baptized and in the state of grace. Dear God thanks for your grace poured out through the Church to us. Who are we that God the Father so loved this world that He sent His only begotten Son into this world? We are loved so far beyond our comprehension.10.
R. Let us bow and bend low and kiss the ground before the Tabernacle, for the Almighty God, Jesus Christ, the Son of God is truly present in this room, the same as the day He carried His cross on His back. If we saw Jesus walk across this room, we would be in awe. He remains in this room with us. He gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist. We unite in deepest union with the Almighty God and His Divinity and humanity, His true presence. Are not our hearts burning within us? God gives Himself to us.
The Descent of the Holy Spirit
1.
Acts 2: 1-4When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
2.
R. These were the men that were filled with fear. When the Holy Spirit descended upon them, they were transformed from fear to fearlessness. They went out to preach the Gospel message. They saw Jesus die. They saw Him after He rose. They saw Him ascend into Heaven. Peter, who had denied Jesus, now went out and he went from town to town fearlessly preaching the love of God.Acts 4: 4
But many of those who had listened to their message became believers; the total number of men had now risen to something like five thousand.
R.
He went from town to town and He healed the sick. He knew Jesus was alive. I heard Him call out, “I am alive! I am alive! I am alive!” He calls to us this day to go out into this world and to be fearless soldiers and to preach the Gospel message, the message of His love. We have the greatest gift to give to this world; the love of God alive in our hearts.3.
R. They were locked in prison and they got out singing. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit live within us when we are baptized and remain in the state of grace, dwell within us at every single second. The more we realize this, the more we are not afraid. The more we have the fearlessness of the apostles. If the sun ceases to shine and the earth shakes, I know that I am never alone. God is inside of me every single second, with the deepest love if I am baptized and in the state of grace. As I breathe, as I live, He lives in me and I am united to Him. No matter what goes on around us, we are never alone.4.
Jesus: The sun may not shine, the earth may shake. My dear, dear ones, I am alive and I am with you this day. Open wide your hearts and let Me penetrate your hearts. I want hearts that are burning, in love. Hearts that are filled with fire. Pray to the Holy Spirit to transform you from fear to fearlessness, to fill your hearts with the fire of God’s love. My dear ones, you are given such great gifts of sharing in My divine life and My divine love. My precious sisters, chosen by Me for a special mission, I love you! I love you! I love you! Dearly I love you and wait by the door of your heart. Rid yourselves of any of the walls that are keeping you from a close union with Me. Remove all of the debris in your hearts, any resentment, anger that keeps you from deeper union with Me. Trade any bitterness in your heart for a heart that is filled with My Divine love. I want your hearts holy My dear ones. Hearts that are on fire and filled with love. Hearts that sing with the love of God. Hearts that love; love God and love one another. I am giving to you, My abundant life. I am filling you with great graces. As you are filled, you will march forth into this world and carry this love in your being. As you are in your hearts, so shall you be in this world. Make hearts sing with the love of God. I am alive! I am alive! I am alive! I live in your hearts this day.5. Song:
A Song from Jesus6. Song:
I Love You, Jesus7. Song:
Come Holy SpiritJesus:
My beloved sisters, I am outpouring to you My grace. I share with you My abundant grace. I ask you to open wide your hearts. Let me penetrate your soul. Come to Me. Remove any walls and know My Divine love. I am alive. For I am longing and yearning to be closer and closer to you.

R. See the face of Jesus as He hung on the cross, His head crowned with thorns, the dripping blood on the side of His face. See His arms outstretched as He hung for three hours to His brutal death. His body wounded, and His hands penetrated with the nails. See Him! This is the love that He gave His All. This is how He loves! He gave His flesh, His blood and in greatest love for us, He remains with us this day as He gave Himself on the cross. He gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist and as the priest raises up the Host, I hear Him call out, “This is MY BODY! This is MY BLOOD!” Then He says, “I want hearts that are on fire for love of Me. This is the love that I give to you. Come to Me, My beloved ones. Trust. My Heart is on fire for love of you. SAY Sacred Heart of Jesus I trust in You.”

R. The wind may blow and the sun may cease to shine, but in our hearts we know the presence of the Almighty God, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit that live within us and dwell within us. This is life, the presence of His life in us. His burning love in our hearts. We are given such gifts through baptism.10. Song:
Come Holy GhostJesus:
I love you! I love you! I love you! My beloved sisters, I am longing for deeper and deeper union with your hearts.
The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary into Heaven
1.
Revelation 12: 1Now 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.
2.
R. The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign, and there will be an era of peace. The Father chose Mary from all women to be the Mother of God. God the Father sent His Son, Jesus into this world, in the Virgin Mary. How favored this beautiful daughter of the Father, that He chose Mary to be the instrument whereby He sent His Son into this world. This tells us of the great love that the Father has for the Virgin Mary.3.
R. Life flows from the Father, in the Holy Spirit into the Child Jesus through the Heart of Mary. The Rosary is the story of life. For two mysteries of the Rosary, we meditate on the Child Jesus within the womb of His mother; in Mary. The Father loved Mary so much that He chose her to be the mother of Jesus. The Child Jesus in the womb of His Mother receives His life from Mary’s Heart.4.
R. He nursed at the breast of His mother and received His life from His mother. Mary is our mother. Mary is the Mediatrix of all grace. From the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus flows this life. Through the Heart of
April 5, 2001
R. Mary, pierced invisibly seven times, and this life flows to us. God calls us to be an instrument to reach others.
5.
R. Let us dwell in the Heart of the Virgin Mary. For she dwells in the Heart of her Son. As deeply as we dwell in her heart and in His Heart, we are saturated deeply in His grace. Who are we that we were given such gifts, that we partake in His divine life?6.
R. Do you feel this life within you, in your soul penetrating your being as we are saturated more and more and at every Mass? Each word of the Mass receives more and more meaning as it becomes more and more alive. As we know them more and more, each word of the Scriptures has so much more meaning as we grow to such radiance — being saturated more and more with His grace — an endless source that is never exhausted Our union in eternity depends on the saturation of our life here below.7.
R. As we dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary saturated with this life, this is our little eternity here. The most important thing in our life is our union with Them. As we become one in Him, as we live in Him, through Him and with Him, everything in our life works out more and more according to the Father’s Plan.8.
R. He came to give us life that we would have life to the full. We must strive to live according to the Father’s Will, always doing His Will. The Father has a plan for each one of us uniquely created and so special to Him. Each one of us, His beloved creation. He loves us so much. In this union with God lies our peace and joy.9.
Mary: My children, My children, My dear little children. Come to my heart. Come and dwell in my heart. I will bathe you in my love as the Holy Spirit transforms you more and more into the image of my Son. As you are transformed into His image, you are united more with your Heavenly Father. I am Mary, your mother. Come and dwell in my heart. As you dwell in Our Hearts, you will be God’s instrument to spread His love to all.10.
Mary: You are in a battle this day between good and evil. The forces of satan are so strong, my dear little children. You must come to Our Hearts and dwell in Our Hearts for the times will become much more difficult. It is in dwelling in Our Hearts and realizing the presence of the Almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit within you that you’ll be strong soldiers and filled with peace in the deepest struggles and difficulties. You will progress more and more in your life united more deeply to God. You shall dwell and live in Our Hearts. I am Mary, your mother. My dear little children, how gently and tenderly I care for you. I protect you and spread my mantle over you this day. On this special feast of the Assumption, come to my Heart. Consecrate your heart to my Heart. Give your all, my dear little ones. For the rewards that you will receive outweigh any of your expectations.
The Coronation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
1.
R. At the Holy Spirit Center, the windows in the Rosary Chapel are the Rosary. As we receive more and more of these meditations and these messages on the rosary, the windows are so alive to me. To look at the windows, I am filled with such joy. For I love more and more Jesus and Mary, and I love to meditate on Their lives. I love the fifteenth window, Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven and earth, and Jesus is crowning her, and the Father is above and so is the Holy Spirit. I want to be so united with God forever in heaven. I am so filled with joy when I look at that window. Fr. Carter called dwelling in Their Hearts our little heaven on earth. We are saturated more and more with His grace the more we go to Him in love in the Sacraments, we want to be with Him forever and ever in heaven.Song:
Eyes Have not Seen2.
Revelation 12: 1-2Now 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 labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.
R.
In the reading this morning they talked about the dragon appearing. We are living in this world and the forces of satan are pressing down. Mary is the new Eve, and Jesus the new Adam.3.
R. Satan prowls through this earth trying to devour all the souls that he can. I see the Blessed Mother over and over again. Her beautiful face as she calls out for the little children that are going to be lost to the fires of hell to see her face and to hear her saying this, “My dear little children will be lost to the fires of hell. Pray as you have never prayed before. I beg you — I beg you to pray. I am your mother!” I hear her say this every time we do The Finding in the Temple for she lost her Child in the Temple and so many of the children are lost this day. She begs us with her motherly Heart and her beautiful face to pray.4.
Mary: You, my dear children are the children of the Light. You are going into battle. Satan intends to devour as many souls as he can. You are My soldiers that I am sending into the fields to spread My light in the darkness. I am filling you abundantly with My love, my motherly love. You are showered with abundant grace. My dear ones, your hearts filled with the fire of the love of God and you will shine as lights in the darkest night. Open your heart and receive all the gifts that are being outpoured to you. Time is urgent. The place is set. Many of my little children will lose their souls and be condemned to the fires of hell. I am begging you to pray. Pray from your heart. Pray with a heart that is on fire for the love of God. My little children will be doomed forever and ever. Pray! My Son Jesus came to this earth to save each and every soul.5.
R. The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumphant, and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign when our hearts are joined to Their Hearts. Let us pray every prayer to the pure and tender heart of our mother praying in Mary’s Heart. With her love for the Father, all the memories that she has in her Heart of the Son. All the love that she has for the Son and the Holy Spirit. Let us pray from her heart and LOVE with her Heart, love God and love one another with a pure and tender heart.Jesus:
Pray through the heart of My beloved Mother.6.
Jesus: I come to give you life, that you will have life to the full. Release yourselves. Let Me fill your hearts with My grace.7.
Jesus: The batting of an eye, the dropping of a pin and your life is over on this earth. My dear ones, your true home is in Heaven. Live your lives in accordance to the Father’s Will. With love, always love. Love God. Love one another. Strive to be holy as the Saints, living ordinary lives, but lives of holiness. Lives of love. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. Come to My Heart and I will teach you the ways of My love.8. Song:
I Know Your Love a Little NowR.
Jesus, teach us the ways of Your Heart. Fill us with Your life, that we may know more Your Ways.9.
R. As I walked I knew the presence of the Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit within my heart. I do not want to ever lose that state of grace by mortal sin. I realize this presence within me; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God walks with me, God is in me. In my every prayer I am united with God. My heart is filled with greatest joy. The Almighty God lives in me. Who am I that God loves me so much?10.
Jesus: You, My beloved one are My child. I love you! I love you! I love you! Come and dwell in My Heart. I am waiting and longing to be so close to you. Open wide your heart and let Me fill you with My life. As you go to the Heart of My mother, as you model your lives after My mother, you will grow more and more in holiness. If you love and serve your God as He wants, someday soon you will be in the courts of Heaven in deepest union with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit united to all the angels and saints and your hearts will sing. You will know the presence of the Almighty God.Song:

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 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 — 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 — 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 |

Priestly Newsletter — 2000 #1 — CD. — Christ is Our Strength — Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our—selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10 |
