Only Those on the Ark Survived the Great Flood

Jesus speaks: I have taught you this lesson:

That in the time of Noah only those on the ark survived the great flood.

---

Gen 6:11-13

God saw that the earth was corrupt and full of lawlessness. God looked at the earth: it was corrupt, for corrupt were the ways of all living things on earth.

God said to Noah, 'I have decided that the end has come for all living things, for the earth is full of lawlessness because of human beings. So I am now about to destroy them and the earth.'

---

There are those on earth now that are living according to God's will, the Commandments, the truth, those that are not, those living their own will not following the Commandments, not living in the truth.

I give you this Commandment, you were created to love God and love one another to live according to the Commandments, to live according to the Father's will, to live in truth according to His Word. You were created to be molded more into the image and likeness of God.

I will clean the decks one more time. Only those on Noah's ark survived.

I have descended on this site in a special way July 5, 1998. You have consecrated the whole world to My Sacred Heart and My Mother's Heart on this day at 12:00 noon.

The Father allowed your Mother to give special apparitions to the earth on July 5, 1994 and she appeared every day. We gave special rosaries and messages from Our Hearts for the earth every day. Now the consecration of this site and the beginning of the rosary from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary has been initiated from this site July 5, 1998. Every evening I ask you to gather for this purpose to pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers and the holy rosary. You will be given instructions and messages from heaven daily. Some days you will use previously given messages and rosaries that Mary and I gave to the world. Now is the time to consecrate all hearts to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We will majorly do this from this site in Florida. This site I will use to help to bring about the completion of the mission begun at Fatima.

Messenger: Please help us to do as Our Lord and Our Lady have requested by continuing to give support with your attendance and your donations to carry out these prayer services and distribute the material from here.

Jesus speaks: I have requested that the holy rosary and the Shepherds of Christ prayers be recited from this site every day. It is to continue daily until further notice is given. This will be an earmark to peace in the world. Do you want peace in your world? We ask you to help. I am Jesus. You must pray as never before for this site and the completion of the mission begun at Fatima.

Messenger: Our Lord was rejected and wounded and He could have stopped it - HE WAS GOD - HE ENDURED IT - CARRIED HIS CROSS TO THE BITTER END. HE MOUNTED THE CROSS WILLINGLY more than ANY RUNNER WANTING TO FINISH A RACE. HE WAS FIRM TO THE END DOING THE FATHER'S WILL, DYING ON THE CROSS FOR LOVE OF US.

Amos 9:11-15

IV: PROSPECTS OF RESTORATION
 AND OF IDYLLIC PROSPERITY

On that Day, I shall rebuild
   the tottering hut of David, 
make good the gaps in it, restore its ruins 
and rebuild it as it was in the days of old, 
for them to be master
   of what is left of Edom 
and of all the nations once called mine 
–Yahweh declares, 
   and he will perform it. 

The days are coming– 
   declares Yahweh– 
when the ploughman will tread 
   on the heels of the reaper, 
and the treader of grapes 
   on the heels of the sower of seed, 
and the mountains will run with new wine 
and the hills all flow with it. 
I shall restore the fortunes 
   of my people Israel; 
they will rebuild the ruined cities 
   and live in them, 
they will plant vineyards 
   and drink their wine, 
they will lay out gardens 
   and eat their produce. 
And I shall plant them in their own soil 
and they will never be uprooted again 
from the country 
   which I have given them, 
declares Yahweh, your God.

Jesus speaks: The devil will try to get you to lose sleep. Be wary of doing good things in the early morning and late at night that keep you from your proper rest. Do all things praying to do the will of God. You must get your proper sleep. The devil can get you off guard when you do not get the proper rest.

Messenger: A Prayer to be united more firmly to the Heavenly Family

Dear God the Father and Our Blessed Mother Mary, 

I recognize you as the Father and Mother of me and my family. I ask you to father and mother me and my family. I am completely dependent on you.

I love you so much. Holy Spirit descend on me and my family. My beloved brother Jesus, help me to be more like you and live as a son of God.

We want our children to be dealt with properly.

But if the father is not connected to God the Father or Mary the heavenly Mother, then he may use any sick rules. One father may act according to the television, a mother according to her bridge partners.

God is the way, the right way. The children are really the children of God.

 

Prayer for Parents (pray daily)

O heavenly Father and Blessed Virgin Mary, help us to teach our children the right way you desire us to live, always living according to the Father's will. 

Help us be united as one and to teach them (our children) your ways and to act always in the name of Jesus in the Holy Spirit.

Help us to have unity in our family and live in God.

We give our family to you. We want to act as you desire us to, please help us.

We consecrate our hearts and the hearts of all our children and their children to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

We ask that ourselves and our family be spread with the Blood of Jesus.

We cast out Satan far from our family.

We beg for the coming of the Holy Spirit.

John 19:25-27

Jesus and his mother

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

---

Messenger: At that scene of Christ the perfect Son who gave His life doing the will of the Father was the Mother.

We are the sons and daughters of God the Father. God the Father gives life. He is the Creator, the earthly father may give a seed, but the life comes from above. Life comes from God. The father here below acts for the Father above. The authority comes from Him, the plan is the plan of the One Who creates.

I quote from Cardinal Newman:

---

Excerpt from Shepherds of Christ - Issue 3 of 2000  

Cardinal Newman tells us: "Everyone who breathes, high and low, educated and ignorant, young and old, man and woman, has a mission, has a work. We are not born at random... God sees every one of us; He creates every soul, He lodges it in a body, one by one, for a purpose. He needs, He deigns to need, every one of us."¹⁰

---

10John Henry Cardinal Newman, Discourses Addressed to Mixed Congregations, Longmans, Green and Co., pp. 111-112.

---

Messenger: The Father is the real Father with the power, the One Who creates, the earthly father must act for Him. This is where the connection is falling off. If the earthly father does not have a connection to the heavenly Father, to God, he acts in the way he thinks things should be and it can be a mixture of all kinds of ideas.

Today so much focus is put on men as leaders who do not even connect to God. The principals (the leaders) are a mixture of a lot of things. God is perfect, we are the sons and daughters of God. No matter how persons may think they can be supreme or get their ideas from a person, they cannot change the fact that only God is Creator and they are His creatures. God is Divine, we are human creatures. We are human persons, we inhabit the earth. God put us here, God created the earth, God keeps it in action, God gives breath to us. God allows us to exist at this second, God has all the power. Only God can create a soul.

God picked Mary to be the heavenly Mother. Jesus made this clear when He died on the cross.

John 19:25-27

Jesus and his mother

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

---

Messenger: How many mothers, the ones who actually gave physical birth to the child, do not believe in the heavenly Mother.

---

Revelation 12: 1 - 2

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.

---

Messenger: Mary is bringing forth children.

The earthly mother here gives birth, but the spiritual Mother is Mary.

Eve became the mother of the living.

---

Genesis 3: 20

The man named his wife ‘Eve’ because she was the mother of all those who live

---

Messenger: If you saw Mary appear, as she appeared to me daily, crying for her children, you would hear the cry of the mother bringing forth the children in anguishing pain. Deep in my soul is embedded the message of the anguishing mother, I cry from this connection to her. The last 9 months were the worst, when she begged to reach the children with the consecration and the rosary.

(Jesus asks me to ask you to pray for all who work so hard to bring these messages to you. They need your prayers. Every time you read a message, please pray for them and their strength and health and for grace for them to continue.)

The thoughts of fathers must be toward their children, realizing their souls are souls created by God and that they act for Him here below. The father's role is to be in imitation of God the Father, to help teach the child about God's will and obedience.

The earthly father is subjected to God. He raises the little shoot for God. The connection between God the Father, the earthly father and the little child must be very strong.

When we pray the Hail Mary we honor Mary.

We say:

HAIL MARY

FULL OF GRACE (Mary is full of grace. In the litany, Mary is referred to as Mother of Divine Grace. No human person is as full of grace as Mary. Grace is a participation in God's life.)

THE LORD IS WITH YOU (God is with Mary. Let us look at the word Elizabeth said to Mary in Luke 1:42-45. We want this connection to Mary.)

---

Luke 1:42-45

She gave a loud cry and said, 'Of all women you are the most blessed, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord? Look, the moment your greeting reached my ears, the child in my womb leapt for joy. Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.'

---

BLESSED ARE YOU AMONGST WOMEN (We recognize Mary as Blessed amongst women, chosen.)

AND BLESSED IS THE FRUIT OF THY WOMB, JESUS. (Jesus is truly the fruit of Mary's womb and He indeed is blessed. He is God. We are also blessed who go through her Immaculate Heart. He is the first fruits as it says in 1 Corinthians 15. We are the ones Corinthians refers to next, those that belong to him.)

---

1 Corinthians 15:20-23

In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first–fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first–fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him.

---

Messenger: The rest of the Hail Mary: 

Holy Mary, (Recognizes Mary as holy.)

Mother of God (Recognizes Mary as Mother of God, this is one of the things for which she is blasphemed. There are 5 blasphemies, that is why there are 5 First Saturdays. These are found in the Mass book, every time we pray the Hail Mary the Father is pleased! I would like to quote from the January 18, 1997, message of how the Father is displeased regarding how we treat Mary. She is a great gift from God given to us.

---

Excerpt from January 18, 1997, Message - Apostles Manual, p. 48

I warn you through My beloved daughter, Mary. You did not heed her warnings. Disobedience against the Mother I gave you displeases Me greatly. Mary is the Mother of all children. Mary is a gift from Me, but you are willful and abuse the gift I send you. 

You do not make reparation to her Immaculate Heart; you continue to offend her. I will not tolerate the deeds of evil men any longer. 

---

Messenger: Pray for us sinners (We recognize we are sinners.)

Now and at the hour of death (And we ask her to pray for us now and at the hour of death)

If I had a coffin picture I would put it here.

If more people put coffin pictures before them, they would realize this life is only temporary and we are going to die. It is a reality. We have pictures of our birth, why not have before us the picture of a coffin so we can see this life is not forever and we are all going to die.

Mary showed the little children of Fatima a picture of hell.

---

Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje, pp. 14-15

During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them: 

You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. 

The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. ¹²

To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. if not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. ¹³

Messenger: Well, I clearly see that we must have that connection as  mothers and fathers to the heavenly Mother and Father.

We have a body, but far beyond that we have a soul and God the Father is our spiritual Father, Mary our spiritual Mother and we must be fruit of her spiritual womb so we can be formed more in His image and likeness through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Some people want mentors here, but a man is only a man, we want men whose lives are rooted in Him. Jesus is the first fruits.

The man who is honored and that is a human person is only a man, a human person.

Only God is perfect, only God is Divine.

Mary is the only human person conceived without sin.

Mary speaks: Oh, I pray for your world, and I cry for my children, I cry bloody tears.

Please pray the prayers in the red Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual your Father gives you through His Son Jesus. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, I am the Queen of Peace. Jesus is the Lamb slain for your sins. He is the Perfect Son of God. He was sent for you to follow. He is God. You were created in the image and likeness of God.

Oh my children, I cry for you to hear me, I am bringing forth my children in anguishing pain.

---

Revelation 12: 1 - 2

Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.

Jesus speaks: A message for My youth.

On this Sunday, July 9, 2000, you can read the regular daily message to older groups, small children may not understand, most children a little older should understand enough of the message. Children understand some of the Blue Books. Pray for grace.

Children meet at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center 6:20 every Sunday night for the Junior Shepherds of Christ in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel.

Jesus speaks: There, you should not read messages, they can be read off the premises. Messages for youth can be read in other places when prayer meetings are conducted in church before the tabernacle.

I am very pleased with prayer meetings before the tabernacle. Continue meeting before the tabernacle, read My messages and those of your Mother in other places off the church property.

---

MESSAGE FOR THE YOUTH

Mary speaks: My dear little ones,

I cry to you. I am your Mother Mary. Many youth today are not obeying their heavenly Father. My children, God the Father created you. He loves you, He formed you in your mother's womb. I am your spiritual Mother. The Father wants me to help you. I am the Mother of Jesus. Jesus came forth from my womb through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Listen to scripture.

This is what Jesus said in His dying moments on the cross.

---

John 19:26-27

... Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ ...

---

Mary speaks: No matter how hard your problems or how alone you may feel some times, I want you to know I am always with you and I will always be your loving Mother.

Many youth do not know me.

Your prayers are very powerful.

You must pray for the youth.

I beg you as your heavenly Mother to pray for them.

I will pray with you when you ask me.

Oh, my children, please pray the prayers my Son has given you for the priests, the Church and the world. (Shepherds of Christ Prayer Manual)

Oh, my children please pray the rosary.

Oh, my children this is serious, the world needs your prayers. Oh, my little sweet children, help me by praying.

I am Mary your Mother.

Whenever you feel alone, pray my Hail Mary. Learn the prayers of the rosary well. I will come to your aid when you call me.

Please think of me and my Son Jesus and live to please your heavenly Father. He loves you so much, He created you.

Oh little ones, help me, help your brothers all over the world through your prayers.

You are all children of your heavenly Father. Pray for all your brothers and sisters of the world, they need your prayers.

Jesus gave His life for you and for all the souls, He loved you and them to His death on the cross.

You must pray for the world.

I appeared at Fatima in 1917 to three small children. Here is the message of July 13, 1917.

Pray the rosary and pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers.

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje, p. 13

To the end of each decade of the Rosary, she added the Fatima prayer, "0 my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fire of Hell, lead all souls to Heaven, especially those who have most need of Thy mercy. " ⁹

July 9, 1996

Sorrowful Mysteries

This rosary was led by Fr. Carter on Tuesday, July the 9^th, 1996, during the Shepherds of Christ Associates Meeting at Tom Arlinghaus’ farm. The meditations and messages were given to Rita Ring during the rosary. All meditations have been discerned by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J.

The Agony in the Garden

1. Jesus: Put aside all of the thoughts in your heart that do not pertain to Me. You are distracted by many things in your hearts. It is in this rosary that I will give you abundant grace, and you will grow more and more in My love.
2. Messenger: We see Jesus as He kneels in the garden. 
   Jesus: You will be tested and tried, My beloved one. You will grow from these trials for I am giving to you great grace. You do not know of the sufferings that you will experience, but I am with you at every moment. You must surrender and come to My Heart for it is there that you will find refuge from the darkest night. I will never leave you. I am Jesus. I am with you at every moment. Do you feel My presence within your heart? Come to Me and know My precious love for you.
3. Messenger: I see Jesus in the garden. How many times we have suffered in our lives, felt the suffering so deep within our hearts? Do we know from this suffering a little of the immense pain that Jesus suffered in the garden? Think of Jesus in the garden. He was in such anguish that He sweat Blood. How little are these trials that He gives to us! We carry our cross on our backs with glum faces and feel upset in our hearts. Jesus showed us the way. He showed us His suffering. He asked us to meditate on His suffering that we will know more His great love for us.
4. I look back, Jesus, to the messages in the Second Blue Book - so many messages on surrender and letting go. So long ago, two and a half years ago, but today I am learning to surrender, surrender, surrender. I thought, then, that I knew the meaning of the word "surrender", but I see today I know so little of the meaning of this word. I know only by Your grace that I will surrender and give myself to You.
5. We see Jesus as He kneels in the garden of Gethsemane, and we know how He surrendered to the will of the Father. It is in living according to the will of the Father that we will have peace and joy in our lives. Jesus shows us the way. If we meditate on the mysteries of this rosary, His life will live in our lives.
6. I opened the Second Blue Book, today, to the message that says, "Jesus wants both feet off the ground." At the time I received this message, January 18th 1994, I thought I knew what it was to surrender for I had surrendered so many things already. But I learn more and more each day how I need to surrender, and it is only through Him that I will surrender. I see Jesus in the garden, His face covered with a bloody sweat, and I know that He surrendered to the will of the Father.
7. Why are we here? Why are we gathered here to pray this rosary? What is God asking of each of us? God is asking us to give ourselves to help in the salvation of souls. For nine months our Blessed Lady called out to me, and told me of her children that were going to hell. I know, as if deeply engraved in my heart, the reality of souls going to hell this day. It is this pain that I feel in my heart that helps me to go on and to help, as much as I can, with the work of saving souls.
8. I see Jesus in the garden, and He looks all alone. The Apostles are asleep, and His face is covered with Blood. I see Him there with agony in His face and tension in His Body, and within His Heart He knows all of His precious souls that will neglect Him and forget Him despite His suffering. 
   Jesus: Do you know what it is, My beloved ones, to love, to love, and to be ignored?
9. Messenger: Over and over again, I experienced the suffering of Jesus, before the tabernacle, for the souls that neglect Him and treat Him with such indifference. He called out, "Tell them! Tell them how I am longing and waiting for them to come to Me!" It is such agony to know that Jesus loves His precious souls so much, and He is ignored - Jesus, the Heart of burning love.
10. This is the message that He has delivered over and over again - "I am alive! I am alive! I am alive, and I am longing and thirsting for My precious souls to come and to tell Me of their love." He calls out, "Bring Me souls! Bring Me souls!" It is in our prayers and sacrifices, it is in proceeding steadfastly ahead in the struggles and all the trials, that we help in the work of redemption. It is so important that we identify, in our lives, with Him, that we give our hearts to Jesus and Mary and that our every act be united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, that grace might be poured out on this darkened world for the salvation of souls. This is why He has called us here. This is why our heavenly Mother appeared over and over again. This is why He sweat blood in the garden of Gethsemane. He would have suffered more because He loves so much. His greatest agony was the agony that He suffered for the souls that would neglect Him and treat Him with indifference and then would be lost forever to the fires of hell.

The Scourging at the Pillar

1. Messenger: And so we wake and we go through the day, and we go to bed each night, and we go through many trials and sufferings, and it seems, many times, that we would like to quit. Look at Jesus. See Him, His hands tied to the pillar. See Him as He stands there, and the men come with their sharp instruments to beat Him.
2. Song: I have called you by name....
3. Why would God come and talk to us? This situation is so urgent. This world has turned to such sin. Mary appeared at Fatima, and she told men that they must stop offending God. She gave them a peace plan. They ignored our heavenly Mother, and there was World War II. See Jesus at the pillar. Mary wants us to meditate on the mysteries of the rosary so that His life will live in our lives. Today the world is in such a sorry state. He has called us as His apostles to go into the world so that He will live in us and minister to His beloved souls through us. Who are we that God loves us so much that He lives in us and that His life flows through us?
4. Within our soul is the craving for God’s love - the craving to love and to be loved, yet we feel empty many times. We are wanting for love. If we meditate on the mysteries of the rosary, if we see the Blood-covered face of Jesus and the torn flesh of His Body, how can we not realize how much He loves us?
5. The world is very sick. The Church and the world are in need of renewal.
6. Jesus has called us in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to go into the world and to carry the messages of His love.
7. The trial that you are suffering today may be very difficult, but if we look at the torn Body of Jesus, it will seem so small.
8. How Jesus loves each one of us, that He came into this world a helpless Baby, that He gave Himself as a Sacrifice for our sins!
9. Look at the world today and the sins of the flesh. Look at the world in all of its vileness. How brazen are all those who parade such filth on the screen for children to learn at such an early age. Look at what we see on our TV screens and at the movie theaters, and then look at the Body of Jesus covered with wounds.
10. Mary said at Fatima that we must stop offending God. This is why Jesus and Mary are giving us these messages this day. This situation is very urgent. There are many souls that are going into hell. It may be very hard, but as we press forward millions and millions of souls will be saved through this movement. There are many devils that are battling us as we proceed, but how can we say "no" to Jesus and Mary?

The Crowning with Thorns

1. Messenger: Look at the haughty hearts of so many today. Our own hearts, our hearts that are so fixed in getting ahead and being first. Look at the pride and the control in the minds of men, and then look at the head of Jesus as they pound into His head the sharp thorns that pierced His head and made Him bleed.
2. How we whine and we complain about so many little trials that we must suffer. Did Jesus ever have a headache? Look at the wounded head of our Savior.
3. Mary is calling us to prayer and sacrifice.
4. The bell tolls and at every second, every act that we perform, when offered as a sacrifice to the Father, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, becomes a heroic deed in helping in the work of redemption.
5. God came and gave Himself. He was spit on. He was crowned with thorns. He was mocked. He was kicked. He was whipped, and they tore His flesh. This is the love that He has for us. He wants each and every soul in heaven with Him. He is calling us to give of ourselves to help in the work of redemption.
6. Jesus appears with a crown of thorns around His Heart - His precious Heart, pierced by the indifference and the hatred of the souls that He loves. Let us comfort His Heart with our acts of love, and let us vow to go into this world and to fight, despite all the struggle and all the obstacles that Satan has created, to go into this world and to carry the greatest news that there is to the souls that are starving, that are hungry, and that are in pain - the news that our beloved Savior loves us.
7. Song: Only this I want, but to know the Lord...
8. The more we are united to Jesus, the more we help souls get to heaven, and someday we will receive a crown of glory and be with Him in such celestial bliss for all eternity.
9. Jesus: My beloved ones, I have called you to this farm to hear this message. I long for My precious souls to come to Me. Will you bring these souls to Me? Will you help through your trials and your sufferings to continue to bring souls to Me? I am so thirsty for souls, My precious souls that I love so much.
10. Messenger: And they spit on Jesus, and they mocked Him. They hurled hateful remarks at the Almighty God, and He was silent. He withstood all of this treatment for within His Heart was divine love, His Heart on fire for His precious souls.

The Carrying of the Cross

1. Messenger: He walked with a heavy cross on His back, and within His Heart was burning love for His precious souls.
2. If Jesus was here at this moment, if we saw Him humped over with the cross on His back, if we saw the Blood as it poured down from His crowned head, if we saw His Blood-covered face and the suffering in His face, would we believe then that He loves us?
3. It is in realizing His immense love for us that we will carry this love to others. You must read all the messages that He has given to us. With our hearts on fire, receiving the love letters from our beloved One to us, do we hear Jesus say over and over again, "I love you. I love you. I love you."? Jesus will fill us with His love, and when we are filled with this love we will carry this love to others.
4. The souls, today, are hungry. They need to be fed with the love of God. They are starving. Where do the children go that have not even been told about the love of God? Look at Jesus with His cross on His back. This is the love that He has for each soul. It is up to us to carry this message to the world, for the world is suffering and in need of this message. Vile deeds will continue until the message of His love is carried out to the hurting souls.
5. Mary walked by her beloved Son knowing in her Heart that He was the Almighty God. Think of the Heart of Mary and how she suffered such anguish to watch her beloved Jesus.
6. Day after day after day, Mary appeared for 14 months and cried out that we must change our ways, that we must help the children, that we must spread the rosary and the consecration to the children. The message was the same - you are offending God, and souls are going into hell.
7. Mary looked into the face of her beloved Son. Can you imagine what she saw when she looked into His eyes, His beautiful eyes surrounded by Blood and wounds? Can you imagine the Heart of Mary as she looks into the face of her Son, knowing of all of the souls that would be lost despite His suffering?
8. Jesus looked into the face of Mary, and He was comforted by the sight of His Mother, His Mother that He loved so much. But He saw her suffering, and His Heart was in such pain and sorrow to see His Mother suffer.
9. Mary calls out today for the little lost children, the children that she loves so much, her children, and she asks us to be a mother to these children. She asks us to pray and to sacrifice. She asks us to teach the children about the rosary and to teach the children about the love of Jesus and the love of their Mother.
10. Can we share the cross of Christ with Jesus? Can we comfort His aching Heart by bringing to Him His precious souls? Many souls will be lost if we give into the temptation to give up. It will become difficult and hard. Can we look into the eyes of Jesus as Mary looked into the eyes of Jesus, and say to Jesus covered with Blood, crowned with thorns, cross on His back, "Jesus this is too hard."?

The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus

1. Messenger: To His death on the cross, He gave Himself. He always did the Father’s will. He’s asking us, today, to help in the act of redemption, to help the souls that are suffering, to sacrifice, to offer every act that we do as a sacrifice to help save souls.
2. I see the Body of Jesus humped over, withered, so frail, and so weak. This is the Almighty God - all powerful and almighty. It is God. Jesus: I am the Almighty God. Messenger: We see Jesus in this state hanging from the cross. At any moment, He could have come down from the cross, but Jesus gave Himself that we would be saved. He lives in us this day. He acts in us this day. As we become one in Him, He operates through us this day. He loves through us this day. He gives to others through us this day. He shows us that the road is a road that is filled with suffering and trials, but He shows us the resurrection.
3. Messenger: Do we know what it is to be wrapped with the divine embrace of the Almighty God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?
4. For all eternity we will be wrapped by this embrace. We will be completely satisfied, and our hearts will be at rest. He asks us, this day, to serve Him, to love Him, to give ourselves to Him. He shows us how He loves us. He gave Himself as a Sacrifice on the cross for us.
5. Song: O burning Heart, O love divine...
6. The Almighty God loves us so much that He came into this world a little baby, and He gave Himself as a Sacrifice on the cross. Jesus remains with us this day in His divinity and humanity, truly present in the Holy Eucharist, and our eyes behold the Consecrated Host.
7. Song: Come unto Me all who weary...
8. Jesus no longer walks the earth, but He lives in this world today. He lives in our hearts. He is asking us to be one with Him that He can operate through us and touch the souls of His beloved ones today.
9. We see Mary hold the little Child in her arms, and we see Mary hold the lifeless Body of Jesus in her arms under the cross. Jesus complied to the will of His Father. He is asking us this day to do the Father’s will, to help in His plan, to help save souls. We do not realize how important all of our actions are in this plan of the Father to help save souls.
10. Jesus gave Himself on the cross, and He asks us to give ourselves to Him as a sacrifice. When we give ourselves in love to Jesus, we will unite in such love with the Almighty God. Message: We cannot say "no" to Jesus, that this is too hard. For all eternity many souls will be lost. What we do is so important. I hear Jesus call out, "Bring Me souls! Bring Me souls!" God is asking us to carry our cross as He carried His cross, for what we do is so important to His precious souls.
