A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb
the Bridegroom of the soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

Messenger: I give myself to You my God.
I give You all my being.
I put all my cares at Your feet.
You are almighty —
I rely on Your Might.
I long for You my God.
When I felt Mary appeared in Boston
from what Mary said, although
she did not openly say I appear in
Boston, I told John when we went
there in June, I felt Mary may
appear on the four corners of the
United States. I do not know if I wrote
about it, but I saw the United States
and Mary's mantle being spread
from the four poles.
At any event I want to put the message
I received,
Excerpt from June 21, 2003
Messenger:
I pray for grace for people to see. I
pray the Church recognizes Mary's
image and the writings Jesus gave
to me and Fr. Carter.
Mary is Mary. These messages are
Mary's messages, they don't belong
to Rome or Florida, Clearwater.
The same messages I received
for the Red Rosary book when
Mary appeared to me every day
for 14 months (July 5, 1994 to September 5, 1995
and on the 5ths before she appeared in
Clearwater) in Cincinnati were
the messages Mary wanted to be
used with her image site in Clearwater,
Florida. Mary is Mary. Jesus is
Jesus. He gives the messages of God's
Blue Book II for Rome and all the
priests of the world.
excerpt from June 21, 2003
July 30, 2003 message continues
Messenger: I feel Mary's protection in a special way
from these poles. It has been difficult
for us to reach the ends of the United States.
There may be two fervent members in California.
and one may be driven off. There are
some around Boston, then one may
put their own interpretation on things
as in California.
These messages and this mission
must be delivered purely as it is
given. Satan is always there for one
who may think God is speaking to
them and then spreads our things —
Shepherds of Christ with their tainted
message.
Jesus has made it very clear
that Fr. Carter and me, Rita Ring,
are the only messengers for Shepherds of
Christ and we are to purely stick to this
message to maintain the purity of the
Movement and follow the mission He gives.
Some times people will show up at
the Virgin Mary building and say they are
volunteering, then they come every day
and tie up the few volunteers with
their complaints, they tie up their time,
day after day, year after year and
create a dark cloud.
Others may come to help and bring a
bag of every other mission and
visionary in the world. They cannot speak
there.
Our mission is very directed by
Our Lord. It was given to Fr. Carter.
Every person contacting others from
the site must speak from the discerned
messages. Someone may have pictures
and leaves that show miraculous
things.
God gives us this image
July 5, 2000
July 30, 2003 message continues
Messenger: God gives us this image
February 5, 2001
July 30, 2003 message continues
Messenger: Others come and talk of corners
and things in the image.
Mary and Jesus have told
us to focus on the main images.
Look with awe at the Virgin
Mary and the face of Jesus.
Then everyone instead of seeing her vision
have been called to watch a squiggle
for two hours while they keep saying
"do you see it", "do you see it" —
Pray to Mary when you are there.
Pray to Jesus.
So many want their
own discovery, they put
the messages in with their
own messages and confuse
the issues.
Why can't you just accept the
big image and the messages
Fr. Carter and I received
from Mary and Jesus.
Fr. Carter said there was so much theology
in one sentence in God's Blue Book
to discern it he had to hang on
every word.
People do not realize that one word an
"of" "an" "in" can throw a sentence
into heresy.
All materials must be discerned by
a Catholic priest, many times
people who believe they are being
led by the "Spirit" can say some
things that are absolutely not true.
Many times when I got messages of major
importance another visionary
would come at the same time
and get a message that was
incorrect and caused us harm.
Fr. Carter finally said at the end of September
97, no more messages from other visionaries.
He clearly made it known all messages for
Shepherds of Christ came from me and
from him and if people didn't live by the
messages they could not be Apostles,
Servants, Handmaids, nor could they
speak for the Movement in any form.
Our Lord requires absolute purity of those
who speak for the Movement.
To focus on the negative out of context
is to not give the proper emphasis to
the message of hope and joy God delivers.
I have heard people interpret Blue
Book messages totally out of context
and they tell me what Jesus says.
The Blue Book messages will be best
understood by those who spend one hour
before the Blessed Sacrament and go to
daily Mass and to confession some time
during the month if they are not in
mortal sin. (Twice a month is even better)
Going to Holy Mass every day is helpful —
for — at the beginning of Mass we beg for
forgiveness of our sins; mortal sins
must be confessed in confession.
Did you ever hear the Litany to the
Precious Blood of Jesus —
It is so very beautiful —
Litany of the
Most Precious Blood of Jesus
(For public or private use.)
Lord, have mercy on us.
Christ, have mercy on us.
Lord, have mercy on us. Christ, hear us.
Christ, graciously hear us.

July 30, 2003 message continues
Jesus speaks: My people, I have called you to holiness.
I have called those who answer the phone
and speak at the Virgin Mary site — to
speak purely from the messages and writings
I have delivered to My Two Messengers.
My Purpose in appearing at My site
in Clearwater, Florida is to guard
this purity.
It offends My Heart those who come
and complain while standing right
under the vision.
Do you not see the gifts I give you?
Come with a heart so full of thanks
and speak of the glories of heaven,
the love of God. I want My messages
from God's Blue Book read there —
quoted there correctly, I want the
Rosary meditations from My Red
Rosary book used there, I want the
other message books and rosary books
I have given used there.
How precious are the gifts I give
you, the Stations, the Seven Sorrows,
the Rosary Aves, have these on sheets
to pass out to the people there to be
able to pray there.
You should sing My Songs in My
Song Book I have given.
I want Mary's Message played
so people can hear it.
It is either not there or so quiet
no one could hear it.
Play the radio in a room or
a television for those who come to
meditate and pray.
My House is a house of prayer and
worship. My Centers are to be aware
of the holiness of that place, the Cincinnati
Store. You must pray every hour.
Stop and focus on Me and ask for
help from Me. Always pray the 6:20
prayers at all sites and houses. Some
main leaders skip the 6:20 prayers
continually, then they wonder what
is their problem.
My Movement is a Movement
of prayer and work. If Paul is taking
pictures and no one is available at 3:00
play a rosary, March 20, 97, a Rosary
of Light disc, have the radio available
to be played outside.
My houses, My stores should be a
place of joy and holiness.
Servants and Handmaids and Apostles
follow these schedules as best they can
1) hourly prayer (whenever possible, even
if short)
2) daily Mass
3) one hour adoration
4) 6:20 prayers whenever possible
5) writing 10 minutes if possible
reading a Blue Book Message
6) all apostles, servants and handmaids
try to say a daily rosary
Those in different houses may pray
more than others, but there should
be a constant attitude of love and
prayer that can permeate a place
by stopping on the hour, listening
to tapes and disc or videos or
the radio some of the time.
These aids have been given to keep
the atmosphere an atmosphere
of holiness.
Keeping the Blue Book handy and opening
to a small passage all through the
day can help —
read a small passage every time
you eat
Look at your past life —
a man always had something wrong with
somebody — he pouted and would
feel upset always because people
he felt victimized him —
He was given a light to see how he
acted. When all were happy and
in harmony, he always appeared
mad or hurt and it was somebody's
fault.
No one wanted to be the person he aimed
at, because it really wasn't anything
the persons did to him, he had a
bag of baggage he pinned on anyone
and then pouted and was mad most
of the time because someone had
violated him — he thought — he believed
it was always someone who was keeping
him from happiness, when it was his
own bad thinking —
he looked for who he could think wronged
him, then he complained about them,
moped at what they did, sat wounded and
cast a black cloud of disharmony
wherever he went —
His time was spent in thinking
"Now what is wrong and who thinks
ill of me?"
It was to be the way he habitually was.
He needed a victimizer —
He needed someone to look at him
with the wrong corner of his
mouth turned up he thought
He did not realize he was a slave
to his own thinking —
He opened a door of thinking that
allowed everyone to control his
moods.
He could have been in control of his moods,
but he gave that power away.
Satan could come with his bag of
tricks and tell him "Judy" was mad
and then he rationalized "Judy" made
me mad and I was wounded by her
so now I will pout and get attention
that way.
To do a simple job was overwhelming,
because all this nonsense was
going on — how could Judy and
the man work — they spent all
their time having to work out
his made up issues.
Mary and Thelma did the job and got
it done in a hurry, they were
totally focused on the work
Judy was forced to work with the
man who always had this baggage
going on — nobody could focus clearly
on the work —
there was always division
always blindness
always tension and
the man finally saw the light —
praise God for grace —
2 people were at a mailing —
2 people worked and got a lot done
2 other people were at a mailing
and they had all these issues
to work out, it was tense,
it was like a ball and chain
and the clouds were dark
and dingy —
little work was done
Many times one would leave to escape it
was so awful to him.
It was all in his thoughts —
He operated this way for years
It was him.
Abusers are like this many
times — they keep a connection with
those they abuse, then they blame
them when they don't feel good.
The person can get in such a cycle
their whole life and how they
feel depends on how the other
is feeling instead of themselves.
The "power-over" issue can lead to
one controlling another emotionally. The
victim not wanting this can hardly
break the cycle with the abuser
because of the sick need of the abuser to
vent their pain inside on the victim. The
cycle of abuse is painful for the victim.
At first those abusing brings flowers
etc (honeymoon cycle) then the
tension mounts and the strike
then it plays again and again.
The honeymoon cycle can get
shorter and shorter and the tension
can become so tense the one abused
may start something just to get it
over with and move into the honeymoon
cycle, this cycle can last as short
as 24 hours — then the tension
mounts again, it can be days,
weeks etc, but it is a building
of tension that ends in a climax —
the strike —
Unhealthy relationships, destructive
patterns must be recognized and dealt
with.
The child of the alcoholic can act
out lots of patterns — life long, as
long as they can get away with it.
In making a fearless inventory —
one is forced to look at destructive
patterns of behavior and put themselves
into God's hands. Begging for His
grace to help them die to these
awful ways that hurt themselves and
others.
Oh the games people play and satan
helps feed the fire to stop My work.
To get close to someone who
wants constant attention may
be to get in this cycle with them.
It is not freedom, it is not
relationship built on strength —
it is having a big baby hanging
on your apron strings shouting
"I am mad because you
aren't feeding me"
What they crave is love and attention.
What they need is to take responsibility
for their own negative thinking
and quit victimizing others by
trying to find a victimizer
to live out their old patterned
victim roles.
Children can be victimized.
Adults must deal with themselves
when they blame people for
their bad moods and project
baggage on others.
Always having deep division with
someone over a life-time —
blaming one person —
then another when you live in
community life — may point
to a wounded childhood —
same story —
different players —
they may slip and say
"daddy did this" or
"mom did this" when
dealing with whom they
believed abused them.
It is complicated —
I will go back to the discernment
of spirits
Excerpt of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, by Louis J. Puhl, S.J.
328. RULES FOR DISCERNMENT OF SPIRITS
II
Further rules for understanding the different movements produced in the soul. They serve for a more accurate discernment of spirits and are more suitable for the second week
329. I. It is characteristic of God and His Angels, when they act upon the soul, to give true happiness and spiritual joy, and to banish all the sadness and disturbances which are caused by the enemy.
It is characteristic of the evil one to fight against such happiness and consolation by proposing fallacious reasonings, subtilties, and continual deceptions.330. 2. God alone can give consolation to the soul without any previous cause. It belongs solely to the Creator to come into a soul, to leave it, to act upon it, to draw it wholly to the love of His Divine Majesty. I said without previous cause, that is, without any preceding perception or knowledge of any subject by which a soul might be led to such a consolation through its own acts of intellect and will.
331. 3. If a cause precedes, both the good angel and the evil spirit can give consolation to a soul, but for a quite different purpose. The good angel consoles for the progress of the soul, that it may advance and rise to what is more perfect. The evil spirit consoles for purposes that are the contrary, and that afterwards he might draw the soul to his own perverse intentions and wickedness.
332. 4. It is a mark of the evil spirit to assume the appearance of an angel of light. He begins by suggesting thoughts that are suited to a devout soul, and ends by suggesting his own. For example, he will suggest holy and pious thoughts that are wholly in conformity with the sanctity of the soul. Afterwards, he will endeavor little by little to end by drawing the soul into his hidden snares and evil designs.
333. 5. We must carefully observe the whole course of our thoughts. If the beginning and middle and end of the course of thoughts are wholly good and directed to what is entirely right, it is a sign that they are from the good angel. But the course of thoughts suggested to us may terminate in something evil, or distracting, or less good than the soul had formerly proposed to do. Again, it may end in what weakens the soul, or disquiets it; or by destroying the peace, tranquility, and quiet which it had before, it may cause disturbance to the soul. These things are a clear sign that the thoughts are proceeding from the evil spirit, the enemy of our progress and eternal salvation.
334. 6. When the enemy of our human nature has been detected and recognized by the trail of evil marking his course and by the wicked end to which he leads us, it will be profitable for one who has been tempted to review immediately the whole course of the temptation. Let him consider the series of good thoughts, how they arose, how the evil one gradually attempted to make him step down from the state of spiritual delight and joy in which he was, till finally he drew him to his wicked designs. The purpose of this review is that once such an experience has been understood and carefully observed, we may guard ourselves for the future against the customary deceits of the enemy.
335. 7. In souls that are progressing to greater perfection, the action of the good angel is delicate, gentle, delightful. It may be compared to a drop of water penetrating a sponge.
The action of the evil spirit upon such souls is violent, noisy, and disturbing. It may be compared to a drop of water falling upon a stone.
In souls that are going from bad to worse, the action of the spirits mentioned above is just the reverse. The reason for this is to be sought in the opposition or similarity of these souls to the different kinds of spirits. When the disposition is contrary to that of the spirits, they enter with noise and commotion that are easily perceived. When the disposition is similar to that of the spirits, they enter silently, as one coming into his own house when the doors are open.336. 8. When consolation is without previous cause, as was said, there can be no deception in it, since it can proceed from God our Lord only. But a spiritual person who has received such a consolation must consider it very attentively, and must cautiously distinguish the actual time of the consolation from the period which follows it. At such a time the soul is still fervent and favored with the grace and aftereffects of the consolation which has passed. In this second period the soul frequently forms various resolutions and plans which are not granted directly by God our Lord. They may come from our own reasoning on the relations of our concepts and on the consequences of our judgments, or they may come from the good or evil spirit. Hence, they must be carefully examined before they are given full approval and put into execution.
end of excerpt of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius
Jesus speaks: The devil is real —
He wants disharmony and hatred —
he divides those who need to work
together —
he works on those doing religious
work —
housekeepers may have trouble
with priests etc
people dating may have problems
with each other,
people at work with bosses
wives with husbands
husbands with wives —
wherever relationships are there
can be destructive patterns
played out.
Some force can be the issue
People must operate in structure
the priest is over the housekeeper
the priest is over the parish
In maintaining structure those
underneath may have this
destructive behavior pattern
being projected on those over
them or visa versa.
But one running a company expects
those under them to do what
they ask.
Those under can get power and control
by passive - aggressive measures
All were gathered around the table
of food at a community gathering,
one underneath spoke to the
superior and began to argue
in front of everyone over
issues — It was not the proper
time but the focus on the superior was
that he could not handle the one underneath.
Instead of harmony and peace, bonding
which should take place in the one
meal of the month the superior spent
with them, there was disharmony and
the purpose was for one underneath
to raise up and lower the person
admired by others.
Some people think this way, they
know how they can go above their
superiors, it is in their minds.
A student in a class may tell
the teacher they will go to the President.
It makes the teacher look weaker, the student
feels they are more ahead of the teacher
before the class.
Some students go to class having a problem,
not doing the work and then trying to
discredit the teacher.
Some people think this way, in their minds
they are always raising above their superiors
and at some point in an attempt to bring
them down they throw their "weight" around.
There is discontent in the heart of one
who starts out with this attitude. Teachers,
superiors, priests of parishes may not
measure up to our expectations, but
to have a pre-meditated feeling — "they
are no good, I am better, I can use
this situation for my advantage —
I am always right and they better
know it — so anybody above me I will
show to be equal or faulty" —
There is so much jealousy in the world —
There are so many that disrespect authority
and think this way "Well I will go
over you, then you won't look so
good".
The world is moving more in this direction —
some students try to tell teachers
on their parents when the parents
aren't bad parents, but the child
wants to raise up above the parents.
Some schools want to be-friend the
child. Oh the games people play.
When there is a house of people and
one person is singled out as
a scapegoat — you are divided.
Satan works in this untruth.
He wants people to be divided.
Matthew 10: 34-36
Jesus, the cause of dissension
‘Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth: it is not peace I have come to bring, but a sword. For I have come to set son against father, daughter against mother, daughter–in–law against mother–in–law; a person’s enemies will be the members of his own household.
July 30, 2003 message continues
Jesus speaks: You must see that satan wants you
divided.
He is the master of lies.
He wants disharmony.
He wants relationships to be
destructive rather than loving.
You cannot blame your partners or
others for your own bad moods.
Some let satan control their moods —
they give into negative thinking —
they play negative tapes in their heads —
I give you My Letters of Love —
I give you these messages to live
in love, peace and harmony.
Genesis Chapter 3
The Fall
Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, ‘Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?’ The woman answered the snake, ‘We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death." ’ Then the snake said to the woman, ‘No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.’ The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig–leaves together to make themselves loin–cloths.
The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. ‘Where are you?’ he asked. ‘I heard the sound of you in the garden,’ he replied. ‘I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.’ ‘Who told you that you were naked?’ he asked. ‘Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?’ The man replied, ‘It was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.’ Then Yahweh God said to the woman, ‘Why did you do that?’ The woman replied, ‘The snake tempted me and I ate.’
Then Yahweh God said to the snake, ‘Because you have done this,
Accursed be you of
all animals wild and tame!
On your belly you will go
and on dust you will feed
as long as you live.
I shall put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
it will bruise your head
and you will strike its heel.’To the woman he said:
I shall give you intense pain
in childbearing,
you will give birth to your children
in pain.
Your yearning will be for your husband,
and he will dominate you.To the man he said, ‘Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,
Accursed be the soil because of you!
Painfully will you get your food from it
as long as you live.
It will yield you brambles and thistles,
as you eat the produce of the land.
By the sweat of your face
will you earn your food,
until you return to the ground,
as you were taken from it.
For dust you are
and to dust you shall return.’The man named his wife ‘Eve’ because she was the mother of all those who live. Yahweh God made tunics of skins for the man and his wife and clothed them. Then Yahweh God said, ‘Now that the man has become like one of us in knowing good from evil, he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and pick from the tree of life too, and eat and live for ever!’ So Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he had been taken. He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden he posted the great winged creatures and the fiery flashing sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.

Jesus speaks: Jealousy
pride —
look at your sins —
your patterned behaviors from the past —
how you have had to alter behavior
to survive in a given situation —
patterns you have developed over the
years doing a dance with an
alcoholic or dysfunctional member
satan wants you focused on someone
to take all your emotional energy
Every person is responsible for themselves
and their sins.
I am a just God, I judge justly —
Parents must observe their parental
authority over younger children —
the devil wants them to give in
Priests must tell the people what
they need to hear even if they
are not popular
People that latch on and want to
abuse others are not doing
My will
Structure must be observed
What is the motive of the heart —
Do you recognize authority or are
you using others to work out
"power-getting-plays" because
you don't want anyone over you.
How could a bank operate without a head
if people who were the tellers
were always doing passive - aggressive
things to raise up and be above
the President —
So much garbage —
It's just a waste of time
the games people play —
Now look again
Two people go in and they are not
focused on anything but the job
Jenny and Jackie fight all the time
how will they ever work together —
they are always in competition —
one trying to be better than the other —
Joan and Mike were in charge of a
large company. They were always
criticizing the Church, the world
the President and when they
didn't feel good they fired
good people.
Mr. Right owned the company —
does he have a moral responsibility
to see justice is done in the
lives of people he hires or
should he just keep Joan
and Mike because they
make money, but step on
people.
People in control with power
can act all kinds of ways,
dishonest, hateful,
making people bow at their
feet — kind, but firm in
getting the job done for the
good of all —
"Power-over"
Those under trying to "raise-up".
Read the Fall of Adam and Eve
Read Cain and Abel
Genesis 4: 1-10
Cain and Abel
The man had intercourse with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. ‘I have acquired a man with the help of Yahweh,’ she said. She gave birth to a second child, Abel, the brother of Cain. Now Abel became a shepherd and kept flocks, while Cain tilled the soil. Time passed and Cain brought some of the produce of the soil as an offering for Yahweh, while Abel for his part brought the first–born of his flock and some of their fat as well. Yahweh looked with favour on Abel and his offering. But he did not look with favour on Cain and his offering, and Cain was very angry and downcast. Yahweh asked Cain, ‘Why are you angry and downcast? If you are doing right, surely you ought to hold your head high! But if you are not doing right, Sin is crouching at the door hungry to get you. You can still master him.’ Cain said to his brother Abel, ‘Let us go out’; and while they were in the open country, Cain set on his brother Abel and killed him.
Yahweh asked Cain, ‘Where is your brother Abel?’ ‘I do not know,’ he replied. ‘Am I my brother’s guardian?’ ‘What have you done?’ Yahweh asked. ‘Listen! Your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground.

Jesus speaks: Why are these stories in the front of the Bible?
Christ is the New Adam.
Mary is the New Eve.
Put in these stories from the end of the Bible
Revelation 3: 1-6
‘Write to the angel of the church in Sardis and say, "Here is the message of the one who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars: I know about your behaviour: how you are reputed to be alive and yet are dead. Wake up; put some resolve into what little vigour you have left: it is dying fast. So far I have failed to notice anything in your behaviour that my God could possibly call perfect; remember how you first heard the message. Hold on to that. Repent! If you do not wake up, I shall come to you like a thief, and you will have no idea at what hour I shall come upon you. There are a few in Sardis, it is true, who have kept their robes unstained, and they are fit to come with me, dressed in white. Anyone who proves victorious will be dressed, like these, in white robes; I shall not blot that name out of the book of life, but acknowledge it in the presence of my Father and his angels. Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches."
Revelation 14: 1-5
The companions of the Lamb
Next in my vision I saw Mount Zion, and standing on it the Lamb who had with him a hundred and forty–four thousand people, all with his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads. I heard a sound coming out of heaven like the sound of the ocean or the roar of thunder; it was like the sound of harpists playing their harps. There before the throne they were singing a new hymn in the presence of the four living creatures and the elders, a hymn that could be learnt only by the hundred and forty–four thousand who had been redeemed from the world. These are the sons who have kept their virginity and not been defiled with women; they follow the Lamb wherever he goes; they, out of all people, have been redeemed to be the first–fruits for God and for the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths and no fault can be found in them.
Revelation 21: 1-8
The heavenly Jerusalem
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, ‘Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God–with–them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.’
Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. ‘Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true." Then he said to me, ‘It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.’

Messenger: It is essential we lay ourselves bare to Jesus, to write and tell Him our deepest fears.Jesus speaks: When you do not spend enough time looking deep into your souls, you will suffer.
I ask you to write to Me everyday and try to reveal more to Me about the true self within.
Go deep into your heart and bring up your fears.
Do not focus on others.
The things you mask inside are stumbling blocks that the devil uses to get you majorly off track.
Write about your fears. Quit looking for others to fill you. You must embrace your hidden fears and deal with them.
I will help you.
People in married relationships must tell the truth if they want intimacy and quit wearing a mask so they can work through what is really there.
Quit wearing a mask.
Look at yourself truthfully.
Don't try to fix everyone around you.
What are you afraid of?
Your answer is in yourselves.
You must do this to be more like God.
Luke 2:35
...so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.'
Jesus speaks: Look at yourselves truthfully.
People can hide the truth from themselves for years. Masking their fears, blaming others for their faults and trying to change the world.
It is the self that needs to be perfected
You are responsible for yourselves.
Do not look at the plank in your brother's eye when you have one yourself.
In relationships one grows in greater ways of perfection.
All must honestly interact. It isn't that one person is all bad and another all good, all are imperfect.
All of you must seek the truth about yourselves and live to be more likened to God.
Seek the TRUTH.
Every relationship helps you see more the truth.
Relationships help you grow.
What are your fears?
What are your own problems?
Look deep within.
Your relationship with Me will help you to grow to be more perfect.
You Must Want Union With Me (excerpt)
Messenger: Nobody can teach me about the ways of the soul and loving Jesus and God. Only God can reveal such things to me. If I want to be close to Him, I must be as a baby at the breast.
I must be taught and cared for and fed by Him, Who knows things of love in the soul. We all crave this union, but it is only Jesus and God Who can give us what we want. We must come and beg for this from them. This is torment, to want to be so close to Jesus but not be able. I must be totally submissive and surrendering to Him and He, in His time, will reveal Himself to me little by little, if I come and wait with Him. I am like a baby. I must wait to be fed. I must wait for this love. He is in charge of giving me what He wants to. I could not, in my nothingness, take all of Him. I would pass out. I am not ready for it all. I am as a baby. He gives me little bites-that is all I can handle-but I crave it all in my soul. Jesus, give me little bites and teach me how to know You more and more, how to serve You and please You. I know this gnawing will never be satisfied here on earth, but it will be filled to a greater degree if I keep coming to You. You will give me glimpses of Yourself which will overpower me in my earthly form.
It is this craving of the soul that keeps coming back for more and more. Now I understand My unrest. It is for love-deep, deep love of You. I crave it so. As we let go more and more of ourselves we become more and more ready for You. To experience You is overwhelming. Your power would knock us over. It overwhelms us. We can experience You more and more in the Eucharist if we give ourselves over to You and You choose when and how much You give to us. Make me open to You and all focused only on You. My unrest is for love of You. It haunts me day and night and the stalking love I feel is for love of You. I will never get enough. It is such unrest. I cannot play music after Communion. It is distractive for me and everyone there. He wants that for quiet union with Him.
September 23, 1999 - Married Couples - 2nd message
Messenger: In married life and intimate relationships, couples can grow when they are willing to write and really reveal their hidden feelings, fears, etc. Unmasking the true self will reduce the ways Satan can work in our lives.
We cannot blame our insecurities on others. The things inside of us are inside of us. We can talk to others and relate with a significant other and they can help us by relating with us in a different way. But our insecurities are part of us. We must be willing to admit the truth about ourselves and our problems. We mask things to look good and keep falling over the same stumbling blocks because we don't admit the truth.
Question for married couples and others in intimate relationships:
Q: What do I feel is my biggest fear about our relationship?
Jesus speaks: Go deep in your heart and pray to see this and answer the question.
September 23, 1999 - 3rd message
Jesus speaks: It is a big problem if I will something to be a certain way and because of jealousy or possessiveness, it is blocked.
You can stop something that needs to happen.
If messages are given and others stop them because of jealousy, My plan is affected.
If some are supposed to work together and another stops it because of jealousy, you affect My plan.
All things must be done according to the Father's will.
You must be careful not to block or manipulate events. If you do it your way against My way, you will suffer. You must DO GOD'S WILL.
You must have personal time with God daily and married couples must spend time communicating. This should be at least 20 minutes a day.
If it is impossible some days, you should make it up as soon as possible.
There must be sufficient intimate time.

Excerpt from September 17, 1999
Jesus speaks: I WANT THE WORLD TO BE ONE!If a child plays with matches, a wise parent removes the matches from the child.
The Father has a plan.
A man who acts for God lives to serve Him, not for foolish gain for oneself.
You always act to serve Me.
You act to do the will of God.
I want my apostles serving to do My will. It is not desirable that you do a half-hearted job wishing to do your own will. The devil wants those beneath to try to become the leader.
What you must want always is God’s will, acting to love and serve Him, serving Me and not making a plan of your own.
When I give a message it is always to ultimately draw all into oneness.
It takes surrender of one’s own will when it is opposed to God.
Brute control is not what I desire. I desire men to live in oneness according to the Father’s will.

Jesus speaks: I carried your sins on My back.
I paid the price for your division.
I carried the hatred, the disharmony in the hearts on My back.
I carried your jealousy and failure to work together on My back.
I carried your selfishness and lack of love and you call yourself holy.
A heart that loves God, loves all.
If you love God and dwell in My Heart, if they love God and dwell in My Heart, then you and they dwell in My Heart.
My Heart is not divided.
My Heart is a vat of endless love.
Do you see me as I bled? I bled for your sins, your selfishness, your inability to get along.
Messenger: Jesus was with the Apostles for three years in His public ministry - look at all that was given and all that was accomplished.
Mary spent time with the Apostles after Jesus died.

Excerpt from July 5, 1999 Daily Message - Given July 5, 1994 - from Blue Book IV
Mary speaks: My anguish I felt to watch them persecute my beloved Jesus! He Whom I loved so dearly, my own, very own Child and they stripped Him, beat Him, hated Him, tore His tender beautiful flesh, everything that they did,...
This was my beloved Son. My Heart was torn in my chest, my sorrow so great! No yelling or other human expressions could capture the torments of my Heart.
My little Baby, to watch such brutality DONE to my precious Child.
Do you know the torments of the heart?
Do you know the pain to behold such vileness done to your own child?
Pain in the heart, I know, I know His love for you, my dear children. I know what He suffered for you. Put yourself there during the Passion. Meditate on His suffering for love of you. Meditate on His love. This is love, to suffer as He did for you. It is so simple, He loved you to His very own death. This is what He would give for you this very day, my little ones. Go to Him and be alone with Him. Turn to Him, love Him. He waits for your love. Praise this good God Who loves you so much to shed His very own Blood for you. Oh children, be present to Him. Live His life, pray the rosary, meditate on His sufferings for you. This will draw you close to Our Hearts. Live Our lives in the rosary. Experience Our sufferings.
Love one another, do not give in to Satan. You cannot accomplish my Son’s tasks if you do not put your differences aside. You must love each other.
Go to Him in the Eucharist. Give your whole hearts to Him. Consecrate yourselves to Us. We will be ever with you, guiding your every step. I am the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I love you as the most loving Mother. Come and find refuge in Our Hearts. We will protect you from the scorching sun. We will hold tight to you and you will never lose your peace.
Jesus speaks: Oh My child, peace I give to you, not as the world gives you peace, but as only I can give you peace. Come and let Me hold you in My Heart, deeply placed there by My loving Mother. You will find your joy inside of My Heart.
I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I want to be united to you, My little babies. Become as the baby at the breast, total submission, total trust, total yielding to Our ways. Yield to Me. My time is perfect. My ways are set. Yield to Me and I will handle your cares. I love you My sweet ones. Yield. Pray constantly, consecrate yourselves to My Heart and My Mother’s Heart. Let go.

I ask you to gaze on the image of your Mother on the Florida building. This gift is a gift I have allowed you to have, My beloved earth, because of My love for you.
I ask that the building where your Mother Mary appears be purchased and given to the Shepherds of Christ Ministries to promote the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and to help lead to the completion of the Mission Mary began at Fatima. I wish this gift given to them free and clear to continue this work. Will you not respond? The world has not responded to Mary’s apparition in Florida.

November 5, 1999 - First Friday and Feast of All Saints and Blessed of the Society of Jesus - Second Message
Messenger: My dear God, I am such a sinner and yet you come to me.
Jesus speaks: My dear child, I come to the lowly, the ones in pain, I come to the earth for the love that I have for men, to reign in their hearts and to reign in the world.
I see your imperfections and I use you as My instrument, for I come to set the world ablaze with the fire of My love.
On this day November 5, 1999, First Friday, Feast of the Jesuit Saints and Blessed, I call all Jesuits to give ear to Me to help spread the priestly newsletter, My newsletter for priests, to all Jesuit priests and all other priests of the earth. I am Jesus “You did not choose Me, but I have chosen you, says the Lord. I have sent you out to bear fruit that will last.” I call the Jesuits to spread this devotion to My Sacred Heart, I have called your Jesuit brother, Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., a prominent theologian and holy priest, to write My newsletter to bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart. I have given to all Jesuit priests this commission to help spread devotion to My Heart. I have given them My prayers of consecration for priests, I have given them the prayers for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world. Read My newsletter and prayers. They come, not primarily from a human person, but from Me. I beg you, My beautiful Jesuit priests, to help Me, please help Me, I cry out to you, I want to reach the priests with My Shepherds of Christ Movement to help bring about the reign of My most tender, loving Sacred Heart. On this First Friday and this special feast, I beg you to hear My cry. Oh, how I love you, I have chosen you, I have called you by name.

Jesus speaks: Subtitle the video A Star over Mary’s House:My Movement, the Shepherds of Christ Is Born.
I desire fully that the video Messages from Jesus April 17, 1994, be made available all over the world. It must be made available at the Florida site. It should be noted the message December 17, 1993, is read 3 years before Mary appeared.
I wish a generous supply be kept always at the Florida site. I wish Bob V. to be making these. Pray that money is donated for this purpose.
I strongly wish this to happen and the tapes be made available at all 3 sites and circulated by all.
I wish the Blue Books to be made readily available, especially one along with each video. Make it clear on the video how more information can be obtained from Shepherds of Christ, with correct address.
November 5, 1999 - Fourth Message
To The Reader (excerpt)
Messenger: All of us possess everything we need to have an intimate union with Him. He has written to me since October of 1991. For at least a year I sat in front of the tabernacle and begged him to talk to me. I wanted words. I prayed to the Holy Spirit and begged and begged Him to baptize me. After a long and seemingly endless search, trying to hear God, He told me to "feed the hungry." For six weeks this was all I heard. I thought maybe I wasn't feeding my children well or eating well enough myself. What a long wait for three words! At long last one day, as I was writing to Jesus, I received a letter back. He told me, "I am Jesus, Son of the Living God." I did not want to write this but it kept coming-and so many other messages. I knew nothing of anyone getting messages. I wrote them, reluctantly, and hid my notebooks. The letters kept coming-a lot in the night-and I would be awakened by long letters which I felt compelled to get up and write down. I read these letters privately and my life began to change. I felt a new life within me.
Jesus speaks: I told you to FEED THE HUNGRY.
I tell you to go after those who are open, so they will listen and pray with you.
Many elderly are waiting for someone to come and share My messages with them.
A Song from Jesus
Refrain: 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.
November 5, 1999 - Fifth Message
Jesus speaks: What is your temptation? It may be sex or alcohol, it may be control, it may be arguing to get what you want. Unless people communicate, and love one another, My work cannot get done. I am the Way, the Truth, the Life.
I want you to write about past relationships so that this exercise will shed light on your own dysfunctional ways of relating.
I want you to work through anger and hate and resentment so that your hearts will see the good and end being hearts of love.
A heart dedicated to God loves all people in your past lives and all present people in your lives. You have to forgive and let go of hidden resentment.
See it as a gift for you to lead you to greater holiness.
Be sorry for your sins, ask God for forgiveness for your sins.
Controlling can be a demon that lurks at the heart and soul.
In My Church all must abide by My rules. Power comes from Me. I give you My rules.
In the Reign of the Sacred Heart, all will come willingly, acting according to the Father’s will.
Those under authority must respond willingly to serve and follow the Father’s plan.
Those in authority must act only as God wills.
The more you work to rid yourselves of imperfections, the more purely you will act.
November 5, 1999 - Nursing Home Message - Sixth Message
Jesus speaks: My beloved nursing home
members,
I am with you and I love you. Give your heart to Me. Pray for this ministry
that people in retired-living and nursing homes will be reached with these
messages of My love and that they will offer their days as a sacrifice to help
save souls. Will you offer your life as a sacrifice to help save souls?
My beloved, you are precious to Me. Sing A Song from Jesus all day. It is My song for you. I request the tapes made from My songs recorded by My messenger be circulated to those in nursing homes.
I wish tape recorders be given to nursing home members. Tell them to request them for Christmas presents, then Shepherds of Christ can provide tapes of these songs and messages as gifts for them.
Tell them tapes are available just for nursing homes.
I wish the taped sessions for nursing home people be made available as I originally requested with the booklets for those in nursing homes.
I wish booklets of nursing homes messages be made available or small little books as the elderly prayer manual be made available for them with the messages in large print.
8½ x 11 books can be made with soft covers and stapled as a magazine-type size.
I want to reach the nursing homes.
I want them to have the pictures of My Sacred Heart and My Mother’s Heart. Pass out little prayer cards with Father Carter’s Jesus and Bridal Mary.
Tell them to keep them in their rooms and give their hearts and their rooms and the place they live to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart. Wherever you speak in nursing homes, bring a small picture and ask if you can leave it there. Consecrate that home and room to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart and spread holy water.
Always begin every session with,
“I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you, in love.”
Teach them to say it often. Tell them to say it to each other, it will bring them greater peace and love.
Give them an 8½ x 11 paper with it on.
Put it at the beginning of all nursing home books in large print.
I love you so much.
Your leaders for the nursing home are Rev. Bill B. and Ann M., assisted by others -- Melanie N. and Emily L. -- directed by Me through the messages.
Messenger: When visiting a nursing home this is a plan you can follow to pray a little part of the rosary with the elderly or sick residents.
What is usually done and tolerated by the elderly folks is one Our Father, five Hail Mary's and another Our Father. The song, A Song from Jesus, can be sung before and after these prayers.
It is desirable to have a big picture of Jesus is Crowned with a Crown of Thorns when doing these meditations. Also it is recommended that you have pictures of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Excerpt from
November 11, 1999
From the reading of today's Mass:
Wisdom 7:22-30
Eulogy of Wisdom
For within her is a spirit intelligent, holy,
unique, manifold, subtle,
mobile, incisive, unsullied,
lucid, invulnerable, benevolent, shrewd,
irresistible, beneficent, friendly to human beings,
steadfast, dependable, unperturbed,
almighty, all-surveying,
penetrating all intelligent, pure and most subtle spirits.
For Wisdom is quicker to move than any motion;
she is so pure, she pervades and permeates all things.
She is a breath of the power of God,
pure emanation of the glory of the Almighty;
so nothing impure can find its way into her.
For she is a reflection of the eternal light,
untarnished mirror of God's active power,
and image of his goodness.Although she is alone, she can do everything;
herself unchanging, she renews the world,
and, generation after generation, passing into holy souls,
she makes them into God's friends and prophets;
for God loves only those who dwell with Wisdom.
She is indeed more splendid than the sun,
she outshines all the constellations;
compared with light, she takes first place,
for light must yield to night,
but against Wisdom evil cannot prevail.
Strongly she reaches from one end of the world to the other
and she governs the whole world for its good.

Messenger: If parents are divided, they can teach children to be divided instead of united, working as one body, where everyone realizes they are dependent on each other.
God wants us working together, helping each other to develop to our full potential, pulling together as God's holy family.
Sin divides us from God. It alienates us from Him and one another.
Genesis 3:19
By the sweat of your face
will you earn you food,
until you return to the ground,
as you were taken from it.
For dust you are
and to dust you shall return.'
Messenger: We must look at the dirt in our hearts. We must clean out the debris. We must want to know the truth and clean out unwanted baggage in our hearts. Not facing the truth about ourselves and how we really are, keeps us from greater oneness. The more perfected our ways, the more we are Christ-like, the more one we will be. We must be willing to look at our imperfect ways. Face the truth and ask God to help us change. We must examine our consciences and ask to see the truth about hidden faults.
Psalm 119:90
Your constancy endures from age to age;
you established the earth and it stands firm.
Messenger: But because of others' sins before us and dysfunctional patterns of behavior, we act wrong sometimes, because others taught us how to love and relate.
Jesus has given us an exercise to look inside ourselves. We must look at all the dirt in our hearts and the dysfunctional ways in which we relate.
We must ask for our hearts to be rooted in the truth. We want to rid ourselves of the dirt, all the "stuff" we have been taught from ages past.
Revelation 21:1-4
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes, there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'
Messenger: Many times we do things that are not like God. We do not realize we are doing things that hurt ourselves and others. We cannot put our teachers on a pedestal as perfect, and keep doing things that are imperfect. We must model our lives after Jesus and Mary. We want the truth. We keep the good things learned from others and pray to change the things that are not good. Jesus is the New Adam, Mary is the only perfect human person. We put Them on a pedestal and follow them.
Messenger: We must meditate on the mysteries of the rosary.
We meditate on Their lives and identify our lives with the New Adam and the New Eve.
|
Adam and Eve sinned. |
 |
Messenger: Dysfunctional ways are passed down and learned.
Sin and dysfunction are in our lives.
We are imperfect, we want to be more perfect.
We have to be as the Father wishes.
In the end, the human race will be a family as the Father wished it to be. The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign.
Dysfunction is dysfunction. We must function properly, all living in the truth. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
The New Adam is the Savior.
Simeon says:
Luke 2:35
--and a sword will pierce your soul too--so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid bare.'
Messenger: We must come through the spiritual Mother, the human person conceived without sin, the New Eve.
Christ is the New Adam to SET THE CAPTIVES FREE.
He is born a Man, He takes on the sins of the world. He comes not as a haughty Leader adorned in the riches of the earth, He comes the SON of God, God-made-Man, to FREE THE SINFUL RACE.
He takes the sins of the man on His back and pays the price for our sins with His Blood.
The victory is won by Him.
He comes forth Victorious from the tomb.
He promises the Paraclete will come. He says the TRUTH will be in us. He ascends into heaven.
The Virgin Mary is joined in the upper room with the Apostles. They are praying in one heart and the Holy Spirit comes upon them.
A New Adam, a New Eve. The New Adam, born humbly, paying the price for our sins, ascending into heaven and leaving us behind as apostles to do His work.
On February 23, 1999, our Lord told us how and what to pray that we would be united in daily prayers at 6:20 for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
Our Lady told us at Fatima about coming through Their pure Hearts.
The New Adam, the New Eve.
A Savior is born.
Set the captives free.
Do we want the balcony or the dirt?
Do we want the top of the mountain or the bottom?
Christ appears transfigured on the mountain.
The New Adam sweats Blood in the garden. The Apostles sleep.
Caught in the snare of the devil, we are blinded and are half asleep.
In Him there is light and brightness, as the transfigured Lord on the mountain.
He took me to the top of the mountain, I saw the transfigured Lord, I heard the Father speak, "This is My beloved Son, listen to Him."
I saw Him dead on the cross, His mouth moving, no one is listening.
In anguishing pain, He appeared.
Luke 17:20-25
The coming of the kingdom of God
Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was to come, he gave them this answer, 'The coming of the kingdom of God does not admit of observation and there will be no one to say, "Look, it is here! Look, it is there!" For look, the kingdom of God is among you.'
The Day of the Son of man
He said to the disciples, 'A time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of man and will not see it. They will say to you, "Look, it is there!" or, "Look, it is here!" Make no move; do not set off in pursuit; for as the lightning flashing from one part of heaven lights up the other, so will be the Son of man when his Day comes. But first he is destined to suffer grievously and be rejected by this generation.
Messenger: The Bible: Genesis has the fall of man,
The Book of Revelation, the reign of God.
The story in between, a Savior comes. He shows us the way.
The struggle of man after the fall.
The way to follow when the New Adam and New Eve comes.
We are the transformed sons of Adam and Eve.
The Sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present in the Mass.
We offer ourselves with Jesus, to the Father, in the Holy Spirit praying through the intercession of Mary, with all the angels and saints.
We say to the Father, "Our Father......"
Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
We plead all day in union with each other as the body of Christ, helping to make reparation to our God for our sins and the sins of men.
Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Jesus speaks: I want you to realize your oneness in Our Hearts as the Body of Christ. Pray united to the Mass all day through your Morning Offering. Come in Our pure and sinless Hearts. Unite with one another, see yourselves as a body united in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, being one in Our Hearts, pleading for the whole world.
Messenger:
Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world, have
mercy on us.
Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, You take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.
Jesus speaks: You are one, helping in the act of redemption.
When you unite in the morning through this offering, you will be a stronger body. Feel it in your hearts. Feel united as a body all day in Our Hearts, united to the Mass.

6Maurice de la Taille, S. J., The Mystery of Faith, Book 2, "The Sacrifice of the Church", translated by Joseph Carroll and P. J. Dalton, Sheed and Ward, p. 240.Acts of the Apostles
Excerpt from priestly newsletter, Issue No. 5, Priestly Ministry and Priestly Holiness - Fr. Maurice de la Taille, S.J.:
Would you wish to know why for so many years after the first Pentecost the Gospel was so marvelously propagated, why there was so much sanctity amongst the Christian people; why such purity in heart and mind, such charity, the sum of all perfection? You will find the answer when you recall that in those times the Mother of God was still on earth giving her precious aid in all the Masses celebrated by the Church, and you will cease to wonder that never since has there been such expansion of Christianity, and such spiritual progress." 6
Messenger: We all come together in her Immaculate Heart. Praying constantly, let us see ourselves as one in her pure Heart and one in His Sacred Heart. He is leading us to be all united as one body constantly through the Morning Offering and hourly prayers, united in the Mass being celebrated around the world. We are united as one in Their pure and holy Hearts as a body, especially pleading at 6:20 as Mary and Jesus have asked us to do. Joined in oneness, we beg for the needs of the priests, the Church and the world, praying for healing in ourselves and the Church and the world, casting out Satan, asking that the Blood of Jesus be spread on us. We are gathered all over the earth pleading as a body united IN Him, as children of the Father for the souls of the earth.
Acts 2:4
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.
Jesus speaks: Sing Come Holy Ghost. (Sing with all your hearts, focus on God, sing to Him and Mary.)
Sing The Song from Jesus.
Messenger: We beg you in the litanies for help from our Lady.
We beg you for mercy from the Sacred Heart.
We must pour out our hearts in love to Them.
Sing Oh Burning Heart. Sing to Jesus LOUD and from the heart. Sing with all our hearts and souls.
Sing Immaculate Mary from all our hearts, Hail, Holy Queen, Holy God.
Jesus speaks: Sing, My shepherds, sing to honor and love Me and pray the prayers I have given you, with the Morning Offering and hourly prayers, united with the Infant of Prague and the Child Jesus of Good Health, joined as a body pleading and begging at 6:20 through the Mass in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints through the powerful intercession of Mary.
Oh, I love you, I am Jesus.
I WANT LOVE.
Little children of the Father, you are a little remnant on earth united in prayer, united as a body, pleading for the earth to the Father.
I love you so much.
Jesus speaks: I am leading you to sainthood. I showed you the glories at the top of the mountain. I am unveiling the workings of Satan in your lives.
May 19, 1999, Message from May 19, 1999, Daily Message
Messenger: Last year on Ascension Thursday I received the message, "Come Out of Your Tombs", that appeared September 24, 1998.
Between Ascension Thursday and Pentecost, I received the vision of the open door.
Messenger: On Pentecost I received 3 visions:
- I saw granules of dirt moving. Then I saw a balcony.
- I saw a person outside shopping for cards, some were white, some black.
- I saw a big dark skinned woman in the foreground with white pearls. She was running the pearls through her fingers in front of her.
What was behind her were much smaller figures. They had a garment on like Christ wears on the cross. They were dark skinned.Because sin has entered the world, I struggle with dealing with its effects on the family, the Movement, the Church and the world.
I feel our struggle is with the dirt, it keeps us focused on ourselves and the bottom of the mountain.
Yesterday at Mass He lifted me up and gave me experiences and took me into the depth of His Heart. This was "the top of the mountain experience", life in Him, the balcony.
I struggle between these two. My heart craves and wants Him. I want this union with Him in the deepest degree for all eternity.
I am imperfect, my brothers are imperfect. I have to deal with these imperfections to get to this union with Him.
I experience a tremendous battle after I see and experience heaven and want it so much and am here in this imperfect body and have to work through my imperfections and the imperfections of others and deal with sin in the world and all the ways it has contaminated God’s children.
I feel the black and white cards represent a choice to do God’s will or our will. I think it was the day of the Falmouth flood on which He talked about picking white or black berries. Choosing white berries is picking the way which is most likely His will. Choosing black berries is doing things opposed to His will. I feel the cards were another example of doing or not doing God’s will.
Concerning the African or what I think is African, I don’t know. I know we need to correspond with foreign countries to get prayer chapters started, especially in churches.
Jesus said to look for persons that will begin the prayer chapters in churches and take the Imprimatur material to schools. But He doesn’t want them giving personal theories, messages, or other visionaries' comments. He wants prayer chapters in churches, to pray for priests and the renewal of the Church and the world, a renewal centered in consecration. He also wants us to reach the school children. He wants us to make contacts, especially with willing priests and sisters who would pray the prayers themselves and try to spread them.
May 21, 1998, Message from September 24, 1998, Daily Message
Ascension Thursday May 21, 1998
Jesus speaks: (with great emotion) COME OUT OF YOUR TOMBS, COME OUT I CALL YOU!!!! I have imparted to you knowledge of myself, transforming your heart and soul to be more likened to mine.
I give you messages after the reception of the Eucharist for it is then I am most one with you. Put aside the thoughts of burgers and what have you in your minds and listen to Me you earthly beings.
Come out of your tombs, come out I call to you who slumber and sleep and do not hear the voice of the Mighty One. Your are like the dead that need to be raised. A trumpet horn blaring would not waken a man who is blind from birth. Only the Lord will unlock the minds of the senseless men, so foolish, but oh how I do indeed love them so.
Come out I tell you, I call you, in your sleepy state with scales in your eyes you do not see. If these scales were removed and a fresh lense graphed on the already existing eye, the men may see then clearly that I speak in these messages to bring about the Reign of My Heart and the triumph of the wailing woman's Heart on the earth.
I came, I gave the gifts and the world slept. My little ones, the apostles slept in the garden when my hour was at hand.
Oh my shanty little town, you are stuck indeed, in your ways. You walk the streets as blindmen and I shout to you.
My earth, come out of your tombs, come out and live a life rooted deeply in My Heart.
Messenger: I was in the cage, it was a prison held on all sides by bars, I cried, I screamed, I felt no way to escape and low and behold I turned and where I had thought I was totally enclosed, a whole wall was not even there and I gaily walked into the free night and the sun followed me as I walked.
Jesus speaks: Your earth is enclosed in a wall of their own making. They have put up walls to enclose themselves. They have traveled around in their little boxes and spit at the freedom that I wished to give them.
Freedom is in living according to God's will. Freedom is in Me.
Talk of chains, for you have some. You have bars and are enclosed in your stone or brick houses. A mighty fortress is your dwelling, you think. A mighty fortress is in the walls of My Heart. I am the gateway that leads to freedom. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Holy One of the Virgin Israel. I am the gateway to heaven. I am God!
Messenger: As I unite with Him in the most intimate experiences in the Eucharist, I become one in His desires and what He wants, I become more as He is. He is the life, He is the resurrection, He is God.
I become more in Him, His desires are my desires, the Father's Plan is imprinted in my soul during the Mass and the reception of the Eucharist and before the tabernacle. I am transformed immensely in those moments after Communion to being alive in Him.
God the Father: I am God, you are man, I have given My Son Jesus to you to unite your soul to Me. I am the Father, He is the First Born from the dead. Life will abound in heaven and on earth.
God has visited His people and now He Reigns. He has ransomed them with the Blood of the Lamb.
Messenger: Some time between Ascension Thursday, May 21, 1998 and Pentecost, May 31, 1998.
I saw a vision of an open door, the light within it resembled the light of the vision of March 26, 1996 that can be found in the Apostles Manual (p. 34-36).
The open door was glistening with this reflective golden color mirror-like light. I cannot describe, as I could not describe concerning the 3 main visions, the first being March 26, 1996.
The closest light I can describe to this is the sun reflecting on the water at Tom's Farm but this too leaves an emptiness to its description.
There was a little white sheep at the bottom of the open, glistening door and the little sheep hobbled over a small threshold and went in.
The door was rounded on the top, no corners, like a semi-circle on the top, and the wall surrounding this door was black. The light I describe was within this door and peered out to me in the vision.
I heard our Lord over and over again cry out during this period, "Come out of your tombs, dead, dead, dead, you are dead."
I heard the words similar to the message of May 21, 1998.
I was walled in on all sides – BARS – a prison of my own making. I turned and there was a wall missing and I gaily walked into the free night and the sun followed me as I walked.
I hear Jesus speak: "I am the gateway that leads to freedom."
I know the sea of glass from the vision of March 26, 1996. I know the open door from the vision.
I know the Power, I know the Intimate Burning Heart of Jesus in the Mass.
Jesus speaks: (Ascension Day May 21, 1998)
Your earth is enclosed in a wall of their own making. They have put up walls to enclose themselves. They have traveled around in their little boxes and spit at the freedom that I wish to give them.
Freedom is in living according to God's will, Freedom is in Me.
Talk of chains, for you have some. Your have bars and are enclosed in your stone or brick houses. A mighty fortress is your dwelling, you think. A mighty fortress is in the walls of My Heart.
I am the gateway that leads to Freedom. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Holy One of the Virgin Israel. I am the gateway to heaven. I am God.
Come out of your tombs, I am alive, I am treated as a dead object.
Sing a new song, the dead shall be raised.
They conquered the devil with the Blood of the Lamb.
Pray to the Holy Spirit to come mightily on you.

November 12, 1999
Excerpt from October 31, 1999 Rosary
Jesus speaks: A little road that leads to a quiet little stable and there is born the Son of God, the Son of Man, Savior of the world.
And you look at your L.A. highways, those places that are most crowded. And what is in the hearts of so many? And you pray and your prayers reach them all. No matter where they are you are reaching souls all over the earth. And the more you are united as a body the stronger the prayer will be. I am with you in all that you are doing. Do you see the lights of the busy cars as they travel on that highway? Above them see Me, My arms outstretched. The peace and the beauty of My face. These are My children of the earth and many have run amok. Do you see them there? I was born in that little stable for all of them. And I knew them by name as I hung on the cross. And I know how hard it is for you, but I am telling you the way that you will grow in greater holiness. And you must look inside and try to let go of the selfish ways in which you have operated. You must not be prideful, for it is with your heads united all inward really trying to work together saying, "What is God saying to us here?" that the job will be accomplished in humble prayer, not in pride, in trying to get ahead, in trying to be the one to find the million dollar mint, for I have all the money in the world. It is your hearts that I want. I want your hearts to change to be hearts more likened to Mine.
Do you see the highway? Do you see the cars coming? And now it is dusk and the lights are on. And they are speeding by, so many packed like little sardines. And above, I am above with My arms outstretched. I am pleading and I am looking at you and I am begging you to continue to do all that you are doing. It is the prayers that will touch their hearts. And My Mother looks from the Image Site in Florida and there are so few children, her children, that come.
And today, the day of Halloween, this day. For they dress the little ones like little goblins and skeletons and what have you. Do they know how softly I watch them and love them and want to hold them and caress them and take them to My Heart? Do you know how tender is My love for you? And the more that you realize this, the more that you do the exercise that I have provided to supplement old ideas of fatherly love with the truth of the enormous love of your Father for you, the more you will be capable of loving outwardly and not reaching for the selfish ways that lead many times to havoc in the lives of My children. It is so simple and they have made it so complicated. The leaves come in the Spring and they fall off in the Fall and they die. Is it not similar with you? For you come a little baby in the womb of a woman and a few years later is it not that your life is over? And did you raise your back and your feathers and prance around? You were filled with pride and knowing it all as you walked the earth like a proud rooster, and then that day the head lies on the ground. And what was it for? For the body of that woman remained in the street and all her faxes and computers would not help her now.
Look at that L.A. highway again. It is darker now and the lights seem brighter and more penetrating. But they’re so small compared to the great darkness. You are those little lights in this dark world today. But more and more as you grow in holiness and have faith the lights will beam brighter and more and more souls will turn to the love of My Heart. So much darkness, and little streams of light in the darkness. But there will be a time soon when the lightness will stay and the darkness will fade away and the hearts of My children will be hearts of love. For they were given a free will. For what is it to make someone love you? We want your lives freely given. You are not to be coerced. You are to serve in this Movement out of willingness because you want to do the job that I’ve asked you to do. This is how it will be soon in the Reign of the Sacred Heart. But you will struggle. And you will struggle with yourselves, for the devil knows how to work and to get to you, how to distract you, how to eat up your time, how to take your focus off of the mission. And when I see it, I see division and I see the bickering that offends My Heart so. I am a Heart of love. I am God. I am Love. I do not want you to fight, to bicker. I want you to teach the world about My love. I want you to spread the light in the darkness. And I look down to you and you hold on to so many foolish things and little details, and you think that you are offended and you think you know what you need, and you ask another. What you really need is to let go and to realize that only I will fill you. See the Baby in the cradle in Bethlehem and see the star above. The light is streaming brightly on the earth. The power is in God. I have taken you aside and I have taught you My ways that you would be more perfected in your ways of loving. That you would know more My word. That it would swell up in your hearts and you would be filled with great emotion when you hear the word of God. That the word "Father" would mean so much to you that you would feel His presence always. And you have so far to go. And it is pride to think that you have arrived. To look at the world as your measuring stick is not a good idea. You must look to your God and what He wants of the earth and realize that you ARE a leader, and how you pray and what you do affects the earth. You did not know of the suicide before My Mother’s image, but that soul was on the edge of death and your prayers can touch such a soul.
There is a soul at this moment on the edge of death and when you swell up with emotion and rage or whatever it is, and you feel that you cannot go on because the devil is in there trying to get you to stop, you cannot give up. You must fight and know that you are battling against the ancient serpent that wants you to stop. It is the souls that will suffer. And when you see one another’s imperfections, tolerate each other’s faults, for you have your own that you do not see and you do not act so good many times and others are tolerating you. Be gentle and kind of heart for this is what I am.
I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
I am Love.
My Heart is Sacred.
It is an oven of endless fire pouring out this love on the earth and they go their stubborn little ways, and they think they know it all and they are headed on the road to destruction, My little scared ones. And how I want to lift them and put them in My arms and cradle them and they will not come to Me, for they are haughty and filled with pride. I am so concerned for the little ones, for your earth.
On this Halloween it is your children that should fill your hearts with fear. And the food that you feed them is not the food of love, but the food of destruction. And the little goblins that you’ve made out of three year olds is a crime when you could have taught them about God and His love. You raised your children to be murderers, adulterers, and sex offenders at the young age of 15. For I wanted to pick them up and put them in My arms, but they would not come to Me.
I am Jesus your Savior.
I come to you today.

Rosary Meditations
for The Sorrowful Mysteries
The Agony in the Garden
- Messenger: Always in compliance to the Father’s will, we see this as we mediate on all the mysteries of the rosary, how Jesus and Mary always complied to the will of the Father. To have peace and joy in our lives, we must always comply to the will of the Father. We see Jesus in the garden, His face covered with a bloody sweat, and at any moment He could have stopped everything. He could have withdrawn. He, the Almighty God, all powerful and almighty, about to undergo the cruel Passion and His death, and He sees this before Him. He sees all the sins of men and all the men that would reject the grace that He merited for them, but what did He think of? He saw us. He saw us here this night praying, and it filled His Heart with immense joy. It gave Him so much pleasure in His Heart to know that we would love Him so much, for He is a Person and He longs to be loved by His beloved creatures. We do not comprehend and we do not understand how much Jesus is waiting and longing for our love. Let us, in this rosary, give our love to Him by giving our complete attention to Him and listening to the words that He speaks to our hearts. Let us hear Jesus as He outpours His love to us and teaches us about Himself.
- How many times have we felt like we have gone through this Passion too in our lives? Have we felt buckled over and filled with pain? It is so hard sometimes. We are trying so hard in this world, that does not recognize God as it should, to please the Almighty God, and it seems like we are pressed on and pressed on, and we say, "God please help us. Take this cross away." But He allows us to continue to suffer, and we do not understand. It is in the death that there is the resurrection. Constantly in our lives, we live this Paschal mystery of death - resurrection. Let us mediate on the mysteries of this rosary, His suffering and His death, and let us think all through these mysteries how He rose victorious on the third day, how it is through His death that we share in His Divine life. Let us think of how it is to know God and to love Him. It is because of Jesus, because of His Passion and His death, that we are able to partake in His Divine life. Through our little deaths, there is always the resurrection. As we go through our lives, we grow more and more in this life in Him. Mary, the Mother of our Christ-life, is there with us, is leading us deeply into the Heart of her Son.
- Treasure beyond all treasures is the Heart of Jesus. The Heart filled with endless, Divine love, the Heart from which the life of God flows. They pierced His Heart with a lance and what came forth was Blood and water. Water - a symbol of Baptism whereby we partake in His Divine life. Blood - a symbol of the Eucharist by which we are fed with the Bread of Life. Oh God, how we love You! Let our hearts be focused only on You in this rosary. As we see Your face covered with Blood, as we see the Blood drop to the ground, as we know the immense mental agony that You suffered in the garden, the suffering to know how You would be rejected and forgotten by those that You gave Your life for, may we know a little bit, just a little, of how much You truly love us. We love You. We love You. We love You, Jesus Christ the Savior of the world.
- Song: "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."
Messenger: He has come to set brother against brother, mother against son, husband against wife. He is Jesus Christ the Son of God. He gives us His life, and He gives us His love. We must focus totally on His love for us. We must come to Him and give Him our love and give love to one another. This is the commandment that He gives to us - that we love God with our whole hearts, our whole souls, and our whole beings, and we love one another as we love ourselves.- Mental torment, how He suffered mental torment in the garden, but His thoughts were comforted by the love that we give to Him this evening. Put aside all of the thoughts in our hearts that do not pertain to Him, and focus totally on our beloved Savior. He gave His life for us. Will we give Him our minds and our hearts at this moment, and let Him fill us with His grace that we will share more and more in His life? He is giving to us a great treasure at this moment. We must open our hearts and let Him pour His grace into our hearts and into our souls. He is Jesus. He loves us with the most burning love we do not even comprehend. Our souls are thirsty for the love of God. We were created for this love. Nothing on this earth will satisfy this craving, this appetite within. We must put aside all of the thoughts in our minds, in our hearts and focus on Him, for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is Jesus the Son of God, our Savior, our Redeemer, our King, our Lover. Open our hearts, and He will fill our hearts with Divine love. He loves us. He loves us. He loves us.
- Hail Mary…
- Much of the world is asleep. They are walking in darkness. They are covered with a cloud. Their eyes do not see, and their ears do not hear. He has lifted the veil for us, His chosen ones, and He is giving to us a great grace that we will see with eyes unveiled and hear with ears that are open to His Word. We have been called, and we have been chosen. We will walk into the dark night as lights shining, and His light will radiate from our hearts and from our souls. We must go to Him and let Him bathe us in His love, in His most Sacred Heart.
- He is alive. He is alive. He is alive and He lives in our hearts, and He lives in this world as we walk the streets. It is through us that His grace will touch many hearts. We must surrender totally and give ourselves to Him. Give ourselves. Give our hearts to His Mother for she will turn our cold hearts into warm hearts that will unite with His Heart. He loves us, His dear ones. He is telling us the secrets of His Heart, that we will know the true treasure, the treasure that this world has cast aside and is suffering for its ignorance and neglect. See with eyes unveiled He is giving to us great graces. We are His apostles that will carry the flag across this earth, that will carry His flag, full of love, to the world that is hurting and in pain.
- And He saw it all. He saw the whole Passion before Him. He knew vividly every pain. He knew every beating, every thorn prick. He knew all that He would suffer. He knew the pain on the cross and three agonizing hours that He would suffer. He knew all the souls that would go to hell despite His suffering. But despite all of this, He gave Himself. He gave Himself for me and He gave Himself for you, knowing full well everything that He would suffer, because of His great love for us, that we would be saved, that we would share in His Divine life, that we might be with Him forever and ever in heaven.
- Oh Heart of Jesus, Treasure beyond all treasures, give me the grace to dwell forever in Your Heart.
Song: Oh Burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You’re here to love and care for me.The Scourging at the Pillar
- Messenger: They took Him away and they tied Him to the pillar, and they began to beat Him. They took turns beating our beloved Savior. Stand there. Let us picture ourselves tied to the pillar. Picture us. How is the love in our hearts? Would we stand at the pillar and allow men that we loved to tear our flesh, knowing full well that we could stop it at any moment? He stood at the pillar and they tore His Flesh, and His Blood fell to the ground. He withstood this for our sins. Do we know how He suffered for our sins, the sins that we commit towards our brothers, when we talk about our brothers, those that He loves? His way is love. We are His apostles of love. We must be holy. Our hearts must be filled with holiness. We must go into the world and always show others how to love. We cannot talk about others. We must have hearts filled with love. Only in love will our hearts unite to His Heart. People are watching us. We are the stars against the darkest night. Will we shine or will we be dull? In order to shine, our hearts must be likened to His Heart. We must give Him our hearts, and He will turn our hearts to hearts of love.
- How we insist and insist to do it our way and try and try and try. Do we know that He is with us at every moment? We must admit our dependency on Him. We must surrender and say, "Jesus, I am totally dependent on You. I want to be loving, but I fall. I am a little baby. I need You to help me to love like You. I cannot do it on my own." We must go to confession, and tell the priest of the times when we talked about our beloved brothers, for He stood at the pillar and He was beaten for our sins, and He was beaten for our brothers that He loves. He is teaching us in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to be of one mind and one heart. Our hearts will unite in the deepest union with His Heart, but we must surrender. We must not let thoughts of bitterness and hatred toward one another creep into our hearts. He is allowing us to suffer, and He is allowing us to watch ourselves fall, for we will come crawling on our knees and beg Him, "to help me." "Help me, God," you will say. "Help me. I want to love like You, but I cannot do it myself."
- He was beaten for us. We do not know how sins against our brothers offend Him and hurt Him. How He was beaten for those words that we speak in hatred toward one another. We are the stars that will shine against the darkness. We are His apostles, but our hearts must be pure. We must come to Him for we cannot do this on our own. He will give us the grace to love, to love as He loved, as He loved each and every soul. We are dependent on Him. Watch ourselves fall on our faces and know that we need Him to help us.
- Hearts that are haughty and prideful cannot unite to His Heart. There are many this day that are in control, that continue to control with proud hearts. He gives to many authority and power. It is to be used only according to the Father’s will. Our hearts must be soft and gentle as His Heart. We must not let power and control go to our heads. We have authority only as the Father gives us authority.
This is from the reading today:
"Son of man, say to the ruler of Tyre,
‘The Lord Yahweh says this:
Because your heart has grown proud,
you thought: I am a god;
I am divinely enthroned
far out to sea.
Though you are human, not divine,
you have allowed yourself
to think like God.
So, you are wiser than Daniel;
no sage as wise as you!
By your wisdom and your intelligence
you have made yourself a fortune,
you have put gold and silver
into your treasuries.
Such is your skill in trading,
your fortune has continued to increase,
and your fortune has made your heart
grow prouder.
‘And so, the Lord Yahweh says this:
Since you have allowed yourself
to think like God,
very well, I am going to bring foreigners
against you,
the most barbarous of the nations.
They will draw sword against
your fine wisdom,
they will desecrate your splendour,
they will throw you down into the grave
and you will die a violent death
far out to sea.
Will you still think: I am a god,
when your slaughterers confront you?
But you will be human, not divine,
in the clutches of the ones
who strike you down!
You will die like the uncircumcised at the hand of foreigners.
‘For I have spoken-declares the Lord Yahweh.’" (Ezk. 28:2-10)- He is gentle, and He is kind of heart. He has made men the head of their homes. He has given to the priests authority and a great gift to be called a priest and to offer sacrifice. He has bestowed on men great honor, but within the heart of every man that is given power must be the heart of gentleness and love. He stood at the pillar, and He was beaten and His skin was torn because of the haughty hearts, because of the pride, because of men that wanted their will and not the will of the Father. Everything that we do must be in accordance with the Father’s will. He showed us the way. He stood at the pillar and was beaten because it was the Father’s will. We must strive always to do the will of the Father with love. Love is our primary purpose, to love God above all things and love one another as we love ourselves.
- We have been called here. He teaches us. We are called to live the Scriptures and we must answer this call. He is giving to us His grace. Praise and thank our God for the gifts that we are given.
- We carry His word into the world. We will be the lights that shine in the darkest night. He stood at the pillar, and He was beaten. He was beaten because of the haughty hearts. Our hearts must be likened to His. We are His apostles that will carry this message into this world. We do not comprehend this great mission. Each one of us have been called here. We must respond to the call for He is asking us to help in the salvation of many souls. What we do will help many souls to be saved. He stood at the pillar, and they tore His flesh. He loves each soul with the most burning love that He allowed them to put Him to death. Will you go into this world? Will we walk fearlessly ahead despite the persecution and the verbal battering that we receive? Will we say to this world, "This is the Almighty God. He is alive this day, and He loves us. He loves us. He loves us. Come. Come to Him, and He will give to us what our hearts desire."?
- 1 Co. 12:12-26:
For as with the human body which is a unity although it has many parts-all the parts of the body, though many, still making up one single body-so it is with Christ. We were baptized into one body in a single Spirit, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as free men, and we were all given the same Spirit to drink. And indeed the body consists not of one member but of many. If the foot were to say, "I am not a hand and so I do not belong to the body," it does not belong to the body any the less for that. Or if the ear were to say, "I am not an eye, and so I do not belong to the body," that would not stop its belonging to the body. If the whole body were just an eye, how would there be any hearing? If the whole body were hearing, how would there be any smelling?
As it is, God has put all the separate parts into the body as he chose. If they were all the same part, how could it be a body? As it is, the parts are many but the body is one. The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," and nor can the head say to the feet, "I have no need of you."
What is more, it is precisely the parts of the body that seem to be the weakest which are the indispensable ones. It is the parts of the body which we consider least dignified that we surround with the greatest dignity; and our less presentable parts are given greater presentability which our presentable parts do not need. God has composed the body so that greater dignity is given to the parts which were without it, and so that there may not be disagreements inside the body but each part may be equally concerned for all the others. If one part is hurt, all the parts share its pain. And if one part is honoured, all the parts share its joy.- Messenger: We cannot be divided with any person and have peace in our hearts. Our hearts must be hearts of love. We must give up any bitterness and division in our hearts towards any person, for He is God and in His Heart there is not division. He is calling us His apostles of love, His little army that He has called and brought to this room this evening. We must be as the brightest stars shining against the darkened night, for He is Jesus; He is the Almighty God, and He has called us to carry the messages of His burning love to this world, to the priests, to the sisters, to all those that are hurting and in pain. As He stood at the pillar and He was whipped for the sins of men, He knew that we would answer this call. And it was joy to His Heart as the Blood ran down His body. His Heart was comforted, and He was filled with such pleasure because of the work and love that we would give to others, because of the souls that we would help to be saved. We are His stars that will shine in the darkest night. We have been called. We have been chosen, and He has given to us such grace that we can carry out this mission. We can say "no" to Him, but it was there when He was scourged that our "yes" comforted Him. In His greatest agony, He saw us as He hung on the cross. His Body withered and in pain, He saw us, and He saw the love that would go forth from our hearts into this world. He loves us with such love. He gave Himself for love of us and for all souls. Will we help our brothers to know His love?
- There will be peace and joy in our hearts when we comply always to the Father’s will. The Father has a plan for us. Jesus is the Way. He is the Truth. He is the Life. We have been called. We have been chosen. Will we answer His call, His apostles of love?
The Crowning with Thorns
- Messenger: Think of the minds of men, and think of how Satan presses on the minds of men. Think of how our thoughts can be so influenced by the evil one, how we can worry about what other people think, how we can think others are talking about us, how we can make ourselves miserable by giving in to our thoughts. Jesus showed us His head crowned with thorns. How He suffered such pain to His head, yet we cannot discipline our thoughts. Let us pray for the grace to ask God to help us to keep our thoughts always thoughts of love, of harmony, of oneness with one another.
- We must not give in to the seeds of division that Satan plants in our minds. We must say, "I love that person. I love that person." But do we know that we cannot do this on our own? Do we know that we depend totally on Him? He has allowed us to fall on our faces many times. We would be wretched if it was not for His grace. We are dependent on His grace. If we are holy, it is because of the grace that He is giving to us. He is Jesus. We are dependent on Him, His loved ones. We must come to Him and ask for the grace to love. He wants to love through us in this world.
- We must come to the Father as the little, dependent child. We must tell Him of our love and tell Him of our needs.
- I picture myself in a chair surrounded by those people that I love the most. Do I see all the people I love? And then watch, as those I love the most come to me and pound a crown of thorns into my head, and I feel the blood come from my head and fall on my body.
- How many times have we crowned Him with thorns by our thoughts of hatred and anger toward one another. He suffered immense pain because of the thoughts of men. We are His chosen ones. Pray that we do not wound His Heart with thoughts of hatred and bitterness for He loves us. He loves us so much, and it wounds His Heart when we hate one another.
- We must model our lives after our Mother. We must look at our Mother, her Heart pure and sinless. It is only in purity that we will unite to Their Hearts.
- I go to the Heart of His Mother and mine, and ask the Holy Spirit to sanctify me that I may unite in the deepest union in His Heart.
- We do not know the hatred and the bitterness, the thoughts in the hearts and minds of some men. How He suffered so much pain to His head for the ugly, horrible thoughts of mankind. God is offended by the acts of man this day. Help make reparation to Him for our sins and the sins of mankind. Reparation given to His Heart delights Him, His dear ones. God is offended by sinful men.
- Song: "Oh Burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You’re here to love and care for me."
Messenger: Jesus is alive. Jesus is alive. Jesus is alive, and He lives within our hearts.- Song: "Give me Your Heart Oh Jesus, Give me a heart like Yours. Teach me to love You with this new heart, Oh I know little of how to love You. Create in me Oh precious Saviour this special heart."
Messenger: He loves you. He loves you. He loves you.The Carrying of the Cross
- Messenger: We must carry our crosses. He watches us as we walk, and He places that cross on our backs, but He knows that it is in carrying the cross that we will be given much life. We want to put the cross aside, but it is in carrying the cross that we will grow more and more in our knowledge and love of Him.
- He watches us carry the cross, and He watches us move it from shoulder to shoulder. He watches as it slips down our arms and we fall to the ground, and He is so close to us. He stands beside us and He says, "Carry it a little while longer. Carry it a little longer." His dear ones, for we do not know the great gift that we will receive. At the end of the darkest tunnel, there is the brightest light. He is Jesus. He gives to us according to our needs. He gives to us suffering. We must learn to endure the suffering and realize that it is a gift in which we will grow more and more in our life in Him.
- My Jesus, I carried the cross and carried the cross and the tunnel was so dark and so black, and I felt as if I would never smile again. But I remember those times, and it was so hard. It was so hard when I felt as if I was dying on the cross with You, and then the light began to steal across the sky, and the glory was beyond all suffering. For after the death, there is the resurrection, our lives, a constant dying and rising in Him.
- Help me realize that we are given suffering and that we must endure the suffering until He lifts the suffering. When we are backed up against a wall, we must surrender and accept all that He gives to us and give ourselves to Him, for He is breathing on our necks when we are wrapped up in pain. He is looking in our eyes when we are down under the cross. He is holding our hands when we think He is so far away, and He knows all things. He knows of the great gifts that will come when we endure the sufferings that He is giving to us. There is always the life after the death when we stay rooted in Him. We must carry the cross on our backs, and remember that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
- It’s a rocky road that He trod on the way to Calvary, and He knew that it would end in His death, but He knew of the Resurrection. He carried the cross and it bumped along, and He saw into the eyes of His Mother that comforted Him. Look into His eyes. Be wrapped in the embrace of the love of Their two Hearts. In the suffering, we must go to Their Hearts and know that we are never alone and He will never abandon us. He is almighty, all powerful. He is God, and He is with us to the end of time.
- And there will come the day when we are lifted into heaven, and we will be wrapped in the Divine embrace, that we will know the embrace of the Almighty God. We must carry our crosses on our backs. Each day, carry the cross and share in the Resurrection. Our lives are this dying and rising, each day.
- The world tells us that we should not suffer, but He shows us the way. Look at Him, His face covered with Blood, His head crowned with thorns, the cross bearing down on His back. He could barely move and He fell to the ground, but on the third day He rose victorious.
- Thump. Thump. Thump. Hear the cross of Jesus. See the stress on His face. See the Blood as it pours from His Body. See Him fall under the cross. Do you hear the crowd? Do you hear them holler at our beloved Savior? He withstood all of this in silence. Mary, knowing that He was the Almighty God, stood by, her Heart torn within her chest watching her Son suffer. And They are appearing to us this day. They are appearing to tell us of Their love. This is love that Jesus carried the cross, that He gave His Body and His Blood, that He wants the world to know that He is alive and that He loves and wants to be loved by man.
- Song: "Give me Your Heart Oh Jesus, Give me a heart like Yours. Teach me to love You with this new heart, Oh I know little of how to love You. Create in me Oh precious Saviour this special heart."
- Hail Mary…
The Crucifixion
- Messenger: The greatest Sacrifice of all, the Son of God comes to this earth, and He gives Himself as a sacrifice for love of us that we will be saved.
- The Sacrifice is sacramentally made present at every Mass, the priest offers this Sacrifice. We must unite in this Sacrifice and give ourselves. As Jesus sacrificed Himself on the cross, we sacrifice ourselves in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in union with Him. It is in uniting in this oneness with Christ that the grace will be released on this earth and that many souls will be saved. This is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We are not there as spectators. We are there to offer sacrifice, to give ourselves. It is when we give ourselves that grace is outpoured on the earth.
- We must pray for holy priests, that priests will be holy in their hearts and unite in such oneness with the Heart of Jesus, that as they celebrate the Mass and offer sacrifice, that they too offer themselves as a sacrifice in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The Sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present at every Mass.
- The grace that was merited by Christ through His life and death on the cross is released in abundant proportion in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The more we unite in this oneness with the Mass, the more this grace is released. Our world is in a desperate state. We must unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in our morning offering, every morning, uniting each one of our activities with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
- Our actions are magnified, and immense amount of grace is released on us and on this world when we unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in all of our actions.
- All of our actions, when performed in accordance with the Father’s will with love, are heroic actions when we unite them to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, for grace rains on the earth and the people on this earth. Many will be saved as we unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in all of our actions and as we become one in Their Hearts. This is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the fountain of God’s life outpoured on the earth. Jesus gave Himself. "This is My Body. This is My Blood." Let us tap into this fountain of His life at every second as we unite every action to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
- And they pierced His Heart, and the sacramental life of the Church was born.
- His life is a fountain of life pouring out on the earth from the side of Christ.
- We must pray for grace. We must unite every morning, in the morning offering, to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass that all our actions are magnified, for His grace will spill upon this earth and it will be lighted with the brightest light. We are His fervent souls that He has called and that He is joining to His Heart. In this oneness, the grace will be released on the earth, and many souls will be saved. Do not underestimate the value of every action we perform when we unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the morning offering. He is Jesus. He came to this world to save each and every soul. Bring Him souls! Bring Him souls! We are His apostles. We will help save many souls. Many will know the fire of His burning love. We cannot underestimate the importance of our lives. We will struggle, and we will suffer. Look at Him as He hung on the cross. He showed us the way. He showed us His way. But in the death there is the resurrection, and His life will spill out on the earth. We must give Him ourselves. He wants our love. He wants us to talk to Him all through the day. When we are worried and troubled, He wants us to say in our hearts, "Jesus, I love You. Jesus, I love You." We must put aside the thoughts that Satan is planting in our heads, the seeds of doubt and division, and say, "Jesus, I love You." Take that moment to spend time with Him, loving Him, and He will strengthen us. He wants our love. He wants us to long and to thirst for His love. He wants us to tell Him we love Him. He is a Person. He wants us to love Him. He gave His life for us. Will we give our hearts to Him?
- It is in complying to the will of the Father that we will have peace and joy in our lives. We see Jesus in the arms of His Mother. Jesus complied to the will of His Father to His death, and Mary complied to the will of the Father. She did not shout all through the Passion and holler, "This is God! What is the matter with you?" She was silent and she accepted the suffering, for she knew the Father had a plan, and she knew that she must endure the suffering. She knew that Jesus must die. She complied always to the will of the Father. Jesus complied to the will of the Father to His death. He shows us the way. His way is suffering and life. The world shows us another way. They show us a way that leads our hearts to hunger and to pain. His way is the way to joy, peace, and love. He loves us. He loves us. He loves us. He is Jesus. He gives Himself to us. It is in giving ourselves to Him that we will unite. He gives Himself to us in love, but to become one with Him, we must give ourselves to Him. We will share in His Divine love. Nothing on the face of this earth can compare to this love relationship with His Divine Heart. Love is relationship. He gives Himself to us. We will share in accordance to how much of ourselves we give to Him. He wants our all. He will give us peace, love, and joy in our hearts when we give our hearts to Him. He loves us. To His death, He loved us. He would die for us this day. Will we give Him our hearts?
