From Blue Book 11
April 22, 1996
Jesus: I have spoken to you on the 22nd of the month concerning the Center and the Shepherds of Christ Movement. The Center will light up the darkened world. I ask you to spread the messages of My love in God's Blue Book. I am a burning fire filled with such love for men. My light will shine when hearts are joined in deepest love with My Heart. You will unite in one mind and one heart when all are consecrated in their hearts and are fervently loving My Heart and My Mother's heart.
Jesus gave me a message:
I want Blue Book 10 published and the
Parents and Children's Rosary Book reprinted.
The Blue Book 10 and the
Parents and Children's Book
should be presented together as a unit
because they are from January 1st, 1996 to March 31, 1996.
I would like the Parents and Children's Book
in Spanish printed with the Imprimatur.

I Am Love! Do Not Divide with Your Brothers.
The Agony in the Garden
R. The Heart of Jesus - the Heart of Jesus is the gateway to the love of the Almighty God. In order to unite in deepest love with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, to know that presence within, we must go and dwell in the Heart of Jesus, the Heart of endless love.
1. R. The Heart that was wounded so greatly in the Garden, filled with such pain, buckled over for the love of His precious ones - that is rejected this day by so many, but He gives to us such abundant love in this rosary. Let us meditate on the love of the Almighty God through the Heart of Jesus, the Heart of burning love.
2. R. Let us see the Heart of Jesus within His chest as He knelt in the Garden. Let us see the Heart, (the vision of the Heart as I saw this Heart on December 17, 1991 - the picture of which is on the front of God's Blue Book II.) Picture that Heart in your mind. See the red around the outside, the layer of yellow and inside this very Heart, the most intense white the white heat of His love.
3. R. God so loved this world that He sent into this world His only begotten Son that all who believed in Him might be saved. It is through the Heart of Jesus that we unite in such oneness with the Father, feeling the permeating action of the Holy Spirit. Let us pray for the grace in this rosary to be joined ever closer to this Heart of endless love, to be surrounded by this love of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as we go through the gateway of this Heart to the infinite love of God. This is what our soul craves - this burning love. His love is burning and on fire. It is we who close our hearts, that keep ourselves from realizing the full intensity of this love, for we think that the love that He gives to us is words, lip service love, but Jesus comes and Jesus shows us His Heart. He shows us the love that He has for us, that He gave Himself and we do not understand.
Let us pray for the grace to understand that Jesus is love and Jesus wants to give to us His love now.
4. R. As we all unite in this Heart of Jesus in the deepest center, in the white heart of His love, we will be one with each other. We know more fully the love of God as we love each other and we love each other more fully as we know the love of God. Let us open our hearts and let Jesus speak to us in this rosary, that we may be joined ever closer to this burning furnace of endless love.
5. R. Jesus gave to us His holy Mother. Mary is the Mother of our spiritual life. Mary leads us closer and closer to this burning furnace of love. Who are we, with all our sins, that we could dwell in Jesus' Heart? If we go to the pure and holy heart of Mary, if we give ourselves entirely to her heart, she places us deeply within this Heart of burning love. How Jesus suffered so much in the Garden so much anguish to His Heart for the rejection, for the indifference, for the neglect of so many souls that He loved so dearly, that He came into this world and took on a human body and gave Himself for us!
6. Song: I Love You Jesus
7. R. Envision kneeling next to Jesus in the Garden and see Him as Jesus' sweat became great drops of blood on the ground. We do not even realize a small amount the deep love that He has for us. Let us envision in our minds clearly a man, stooped over, sweating blood for love of us. This is the love that Jesus has for each one of us and He is as present in this room in the Holy Eucharist, as He was that day that He knelt in the Garden when Jesus sweat His most precious blood.
8. R. It is in dwelling in the heart of Mary and giving ourselves to Mary in the act of consecration, of giving ourselves to Mary, that the Holy Spirit begins to work in us, sanctifying us more and more. Know the Spirit in us. The Holy Spirit works to transform us more and more to be like Jesus and Mary. Mary places us in the Heart of her Son and it is there, in that deep inner chamber of Jesus' Heart that we unite in such oneness with our Father. This is what heaven is - to be embraced by the love of the Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. To know the burning love of God, this is truly what our souls crave, but we shy away from the white heart of His love. Why do we not open our hearts when this is what our hearts are craving? Nothing feeds the starved soul but the love of God.
9. R. See the agony and the pain on the face of Jesus. See Him humped over and watch the blood as it drips to the ground, for Jesus tells us in this rosary of His deep and burning love. We shut ourselves off and we continue to look elsewhere for that which will feed the starved soul.
Song: I Love You Jesus
10. Hail Mary
The Scourging at the Pillar
R. Who is My Mother? Who is My brother? Who is My brother anyone who does the Will of My Father! You do not understand that God has a plan for us and it is only in living according to His will that we will be happy. Jesus shows us in this sorrowful mystery that He did the will of the Father to His death on the cross. Jesus, the Son of God, shows us He obeyed the Father's will. Why do we try to do our own will when we know that the real way to happiness is to follow His will?
1. R. The greatest commandment of all commands us to love God with our whole heart, our whole soul and our whole being and to love our neighbor as ourselves. It is in living according to the Father's will and with greatest love that we please the Father. Jesus gave His life to please His Father. Jesus shows us the way. Why are we so willful in our actions that we do not surrender and do as He asks us to do, for it is the only way that we will find true happiness?
2. R. Jesus places His hands on both sides of His Heart and gives us His Heart and we tap so lightly on this Heart of burning love. He invites us to enter deeply into His Heart but we stay on the outside and look in.
3. R. We must give our hearts to the heart of our Mother. Mary will place us deeply in her heart, for her heart dwells within Jesus' Heart. I see Jesus at the pillar, bound, whipped and covered with blood. The Almighty God, at any moment, could have released Himself but He always complied to the will of God the Father.
4. R. Jesus shows us this Heart. Let us look at this burning Heart of love. Let us see the picture on the front of the second Blue Book and see the intense furnace of burning love. It is in the center of this Heart that we unite to this deep love with the Father. Let us go to the Heart of Mary and dwell within the Heart of Our Savior.
5. R. Jesus was scourged for the love of all our beloved brothers. Jesus loves each and every person with the deepest love. I cannot unite to this fiery furnace of burning love if there is any hatred or anger in my heart for any person, for to be in the center of His Heart, my heart must be filled with love.
6. R. Do we want to truly know the love of God? To be wrapped in His loving embrace? To dwell in the hottest white center of His Heart that leads to such union with our beloved Father and the Holy Spirit? If we want this union with the Almighty God, if we want to be permeated by His Divine Love and His Divine Life, then we must live to love, always love, to not give into any taunting by Satan to divide us from others, for to be divided with any person that Jesus loves is to divide ourselves from Jesus. The devil tries to get us focused on thoughts of division toward our brothers. Jesus shows us His Heart burning and filled with love. To be united to this Heart we must give up thoughts against our brothers. In the center of His Heart is the deepest burning love. It is only in love that we will dwell there. To be divided with those Jesus loves divides us from the Heart of Jesus.
7. R. Feel the freedom of letting go and forgiving. Ask the Holy Spirit to come and fill us with the fire of God's love, to transform us from all those things that are not like God so that we may be more deeply united to the Heart of Jesus.
8. R. I see Jesus standing at the pillar and Jesus is whipped so harshly by those angry men and His blood flies into the air. This is the love that Jesus has for every soul, that Jesus suffered this persecution, that He allowed His body to be beaten and bloodied. How can I love God and not love my brother? We are one family. In order to be united, we must go to the Heart of Jesus and in our heart have love for all men as Jesus loved all men - that He gave His life for them!
9. R. We see all children of God. God is our Father. Mary is our Mother. Let us all dwell in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and unite in the deepest oneness in the center of Jesus' Heart.
10. Hail Mary
The Crowing of Thorns
R. Let Jesus take us to the deepest chamber of His Heart. Let us feel the presence of the Almighty God. Let us be surrounded by this endless love. It is not a lip service love, it is a love that Jesus suffered so that He was beaten with deep wounds, that His head was crowned with piercing thorns, that the blood ran all over His face, that He gave Himself for love of us! This is what He asks of us - to give Him our heart. Let us give our heart to Jesus and Mary that we will be joined in such oneness with all of our brothers and sisters in this world, as we dwell within the Heart of Jesus.
1. Hail Mary
2. Hail Mary
3. Hail Mary4. R. Bloodied, bruised and beaten - this is the love that Jesus has for us and He asks us to love one another.
5. R. Why do we hold onto the resentments and the anger within our heart toward our brothers when Jesus loves them so much that He suffered, was beaten - His flesh torn, His head crowned with thorns - for all of our brothers? He loved those who tore His flesh. If I want to be united in this deepest love with Jesus, I must pray for the grace to forgive and love all as He loved all to His death.
Jesus: You are the lights that I am sending into this world, into the darkness, to show the world My love. You are called by Me. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. I have called you to this rosary to give this message to you. My way is the way of love. Come to My Heart - My Heart is burning and on fire for love of you. Feel deeply the love that I have to give you. Share your love with each other. I give to you one another to love. Satan wants to divide you. You must not give in to any thoughts that turn your hearts against your brothers.
6. Jesus: Guard your tongues as the doorway to your hearts.
7. Jesus: Let all words that you speak be words of love. Do not be angered at your brother. Do not judge or criticize your brothers. My way is the way of love. You are My apostles that I have called and I am sending into the world to spread the messages of My love. You must be loving in your ways. Come to My Heart and I will fill you with My burning love. Let go. Do not think tainted thoughts - let Me teach you in your heart, My way.
8. Jesus: Do not go to this world to learn about love. You must come to Me for I will teach you My way, in your heart, let your hearts be pure, like Mary, not jealous, envious, prideful or angry.
9. Jesus: Love is kind, love is giving. Love is caring. Giving because of a loving heart. I am Jesus. I give to you Myself. Come to Me and I will fill you with a heart of love.
10. Hail Mary
The Carrying of the Cross
R. As Lent progresses, let us have the Passion of Jesus forever before our eyes, for it is in suffering according to God's way, that we experience new life.
1. R. Let us unite all of the struggles, all of the problems, everything in our life, to the life of Jesus. Let us walk with Him each day as He walked during His life. Let us identify everything in our life with Him.
Our every breath, our every action - united to Jesus - all for the glory of God.
2. R. Let us take everything that He gives as a gift that He is giving for us to grow deeper and deeper in our love relationship with God. We must be grateful for His grace to us to help us be loving and be all God wants us to be.
3. R. Let us study the relationship between Jesus and His Mother - the deep love between Jesus and Mary, between Divinity and humanity. Let us see the joining of Their Hearts in such oneness, that we will love one another more like the love of the Two Hearts. Let us join in the heart of Mary and the Heart of Jesus, to be one with them in deepest love.
4. R. Mary stood by Jesus' side and Mary walked with Jesus through all of Jesus' struggles, through all of His heartaches. Let us model our lives after our beloved Mother. Let us live as Christ would live in us.
5. R. We see the coldness and the pain in the faces of those we encounter each day. They do not even look up to talk, they walk and they do not even see the persons that are close to them. Let us be the lights that go out into the darkness, our hearts filled with Jesus' love and let Him operate through us to love in this world as we unite in deepest union to Jesus.
6. R. Are our hearts cold and embittered? Are our hearts warm and loving? Let us look to the Heart of Jesus. As we see this vision on the Second Blue Book, Jesus' Heart is burning with endless love. Let us love one another with this love. The love that gives the love that cares, the love that sees, the love that is focused on God for Jesus asks us to do two things He commands us to do two things: To love God with our whole heart, our whole soul, our whole being, and to love one another as we love ourselves.
7. R. How do we respond to the love that God gives to us? Are our hearts cold and embittered or are our hearts filled with deep love for each other?
8. R. Jesus carried the cross on His back, covered with blood, and they poked at Him and they pushed Him and He fell to the ground - and Jesus loved all those that tore His flesh.
9. Song: Teach Me to Love with Your Heart
10. Hail Mary
Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the cross
R. Oh, beloved Jesus, truly present in the tabernacle, give us the grace to realize this great gift we are given to cherish every single moment that we are in the presence of the Almighty God, to never take this for granted, to thank You endlessly for the great gift You have given to us: the gift of Yourself, that You are truly present. The gift that You give us in the Holy Eucharist and Your Heart was in such anguish in the Garden, Your Heart of deepest love for all the souls that would treat You with such ignorance.
My Precious One, let me help make reparation to Your most adorable Heart for what You suffered for Your beloved souls who have forgotten You. Jesus cries out to us. Jesus wants us during this Lent to come ever closer to His Heart. To see Him as He hung on the cross. To carry this cross with us wherever we go, to look at the wounds in His hands and His feet and the crown of thorns on His head. To see His blood covered face and the wound in His side. Jesus wants us to carry His life within us, to be one in Him, to die to all of those things that are not like Him that we may live more and more as He lives in us.
1. R. Let us unite all through the day with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and unite ourselves with such oneness with Jesus and give ourselves to the Father as He gave Himself on the cross. Let us surrender our lives to God.
2. R. If we want to dwell deeply with Jesus' Heart we must give ourselves to Him. We must give ourselves, give our heart to Mary and give our heart to Jesus and what we will receive in return is a deeper and deeper relationship with this Heart of burning love.
3. R. Mary said at Fatima, "until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, there will not be peace in this world." Let us give our hearts to Jesus and to Mary and let us live deeply in Jesus' Heart that our every act will be an act of love toward our beloved brothers for we are one family in Him.
4. Song: Let there be Peace on Earth
5. R. At every Mass let us offer ourselves to the Father and tell Him that we want to die to those things that are not like Him and ask the Spirit to sanctify us more and more to be like Jesus, that we will unite deeper and deeper with Jesus in His Most Sacred Heart.
6. R. It is in the deepest recesses of Jesus' Heart that we unite to our beloved Father. Jesus and the Father are one. We want to be one with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The more we dwell deeply in the Heart of Jesus, the more we are one with God.
7. R. Let us focus all through the day, focus on Jesus and taking refuge in His Heart when others are around us and they do things that disturb us. When Satan wants us to think thoughts of division, let us go to the Heart of Jesus and ask Him to let us know His burning love.
8. Jesus: I call you to love. I call you to come to My Heart. You are My beloved ones that I am sending into this world in this Shepherds of Christ Movement. I am giving to you abundant graces to grow deeper in your union with Me. Will you answer this call? My beloved ones, who will I send if you turn away?
9. R. Let us feel the permeating action of the Spirit within us as we unite deeper and deeper to the Heart of Jesus and let us be the little dependent children of the Father, always living in His will, living to please Him as a little child.
10. Jesus: This is My message to you, My beloved Shepherds in this movement: I am calling you to My Heart, to the deepest recesses of My Heart. It is there that you will have peace and joy in your lives. Come to Me and consecrate your hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
R. Let us study the love between the Hearts of Jesus and Mary for love is kind. We want to love more and more like Jesus for love that is rooted in Him is beyond all comprehension. Let us give our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and feel this love as it grows in our hearts.

The Center of His HeartR. We meet Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the white center of His Heart where there is such oneness with the Almighty God. It is there we are one with God! The center of His Heart is where there is the white heat of God's love, where the action of the Holy Spirit permeates our being. It is where we meet in deep love in God. This is where we see the beauty of God reflected in each other, where there is not division, where God's light and love are in us.
As we dwell in such oneness in this burning love, we live in this world.
Galatians 2: 19-20...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.
R. Oh, beautiful creatures, do not be afraid to love, for God is love and He is alive in us. Open your hearts and let His love pour out into this world through our hearts full of God's love.
See the beauty and uniqueness of each creature, created by Him and love them as our brothers, for we are all members of one family. God is our Father. Mary is our Mother. We live through Him, with Him and in Him in the unity of the Holy Spirit. This is life deeply rooted in the white heat of His love.
I must love. There must be an awareness on my part, about how Jesus loves my brother so much and how He wants me to be united to my brothers in Him. Jesus said that when we love our brothers we are loving Him.
How can I love Him who I don't see when I can't love my brother who I see. Why can't we genuinely love our brothers? Why do we not realize that He is giving us all we need? We are feeling empty inside when we hold back our love.
We must pray for the grace to know His great love for us. It is in knowing this love that we will love as He wants us to love.
Come, Lord Jesus, come and live in me - deeply so that I love as You love, through me. I want to be like You. How far I am from being like You and loving as You love! Only with Your grace will I love more like You. I love You so much!
I cannot harbor judgment or hatred in my heart in injustice to my brothers and dwell in Their Hearts for God is love. I want to be in the center of Jesus' Heart. I want to be one with Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I give myself totally to Jesus and my Mother, Mary. If I dwell deeply in Mary's pure heart, I will dwell deeper in Jesus' Heart and unite more and more to the Father and Holy Spirit. Make me pure, O adorable Lord, that I will be one in you.
I want to be in the deepest, deepest, hottest center of His love, united to God - all three Persons. To be there I must be pure. To be there I must be loving. To be there I must love God and love all others as I love myself. To be in the center is to know His love and to be loving all His creatures with deep love.
I am not in the center if I am not loving, and if I am not loving God and loving all men. The hottest part of the fire is in the white center. It is there I am purified. I am in the white heat of God's love. I am as He intends me to be, living in Him.
This is the vision, this is the wish of our Mother at Fatima, this is the wish of Jesus when He shows us His Heart. He says, "Come unto me all who labor and are heavily burdened and I will give you rest."
We walk along burdened with our problems and Jesus says, "Come to My Heart, My load is light, My fire is warm and comforting." We stand on the outskirts of His Heart. We scratch the surface and struggle and He opens His Heart and tells us to dwell deeply in the white heat of His love.
To enter His Heart we must give our heart to His Mother. Mary is the purest heart. To enter into Jesus' Heart deeply Mary helps us the Holy Spirit works with Mary to make us more holy I must be holy. I go to Mary and ask the Holy Spirit to sanctify me that I may dwell deeply in this Heart of infinite love. I want to dwell in the center. I want it all. I want the union with the Father and Holy Spirit. I want to be close to Mary. I want deep, deep union with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I want to be possessed by God, I must seek holiness.
Immaculate Heart of Mary, I consecrate My heart to you. Sacred Heart of Jesus, I consecrate my heart to You. I want to dwell deeply in the deepest, hottest chamber of the Heart of Jesus. It is with this love I will love as He lives in me.
The more I love others, the greater my union with Him. I want the deepest union Him. Jesus loves all His creatures, I want to be deeply united in the center of Jesus' Heart so I must be united to those Jesus loves.
To love others deepens my love with Him. To leave others out of my life, that Jesus wants me to work with and love, can act to separates me from Him. To love Him is to love others more as Jesus loved them to His death. The more I love others, the more I love Him. Jesus wants me to genuinely love others.
O, Immaculate Heart of Mary, I give you my heart. I want to love you. I want to love Jesus and love this world through Your Two Hearts. Please, my beautiful Mother, lead me into the deepest love with Jesus, your Son. I want to love Jesus as you loved Him. I want to know Him as you know Him. I want to serve Him as you did.
My dear Mother, I place myself in your heart. I know you will care for me in all my needs. I give myself to you, Mary, my Mother. I love you so much.
O, dear Sacred Heart of Jesus, I give You my whole heart, my whole being and my whole mind. I see Your Heart on fire for love of me. I want to be in this fiery furnace and know the love of God. Take me, Jesus, use me as Your little servant to spread Your love to this world. I give myself entirely to You and I ask the Holy Spirit to make me more like You. I want to be a little child of the Father. I give You my heart. Keep me in Your Heart and teach me Your way to love.
Dear Holy Spirit, You are my best friend. I give You myself. I ask You to move inside of me and make me holy. I want to know the fire of God's love. I want to love God with all my heart.
Consecration for Little Children:
R. Mary has asked us to consecrate our hearts to her and to Jesus every day. We should, as a parent take time each day to pray with our children. It is very important for all children to have a loving relationship with God and Mary.
Each child should pray the Consecration to the Holy Spirit and the Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary every day. Mary has asked, at Fatima, that we pray the rosary every day.
Let us, as parents, teach our children about the most important part of our lives: our relationship with God.
When hearts are joined in deepest love with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, when we realize we are one family under God and love one another, we will have peace in the world.
Mary, I give you my heart and I ask the Holy Spirit to make me holy. I ask Him to fill me with the fire of God's love. When I am in the heart of Mary, in deep love and when I am in the Heart of Jesus in deep love, I will love my brothers. We will all be joined in Their Hearts in deep love for each other. We will be one family with Mary as our Mother and God as our Father, all brothers in Jesus in union with the Holy Spirit.
Dear God, I love You so much. Thanks for creating me and giving me Your love. Help me to love You more and more and love all others with Your love as You live in me.

The Body of ChristR. We join in this oneness with all others in the reception of the Holy Eucharist. Jesus is the Head of the body, the Church, we are members of the mystical body of Christ. We join in such oneness with one another, all dwelling in Their Hearts. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in our graced baptized soul. Such power in the joining of our hearts.
Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.
e) Relationship with Members of the Church
There is but one true Church of Christ. Yet this one Church has three different states of existence. There is the pilgrim Church, the Church of this world, composed of members who have received the grace of Christ and strive for its development. They have not yet obtained the goal of their efforts, as have the members of the heavenly Church, who enjoy God in eternal happiness. The Church suffering is an intermediate state of existence necessary for those who had not achieved the required purification as members of the pilgrim Church. Although there are these three phases of the Churchs existence, there is a profound union existing between all the members. All these members possess the same basic life of grace in Christ, and this common life establishes the most intimate bonds of love. In our preceding chapter, we discussed the pilgrim Church. Let us now consider the Church suffering and the heavenly Church.
The members of the Church suffering are those who have departed from this life in an incomplete state of Christian development. Their development is incomplete in the sense that grace has not fully taken possession of them, and, as a result, they are yet closed in upon themselves to a greater or lesser degree. They as yet cannot open themselves out in complete love to the Triune God in the beatific vision. They must undergo a further purification, a purification which could have been achieved upon earth with merit. Now the purification must be achieved with no merit attached. The pain of this purification is mixed with the certain expectation of achieving the vision of God. We can hasten the advent of this vision for this people by the offering of prayers and other good works. Scripture itself refers to our action on behalf of those in purgatory in Chapter 12 of the Second Book of Maccabees beginning with verse 38.
The members of the heavenly Church are those in whom the life of grace has taken full possession and has reached its completion in the life of glory. Faith now is unnecessary, as the light of glory gives the human intellect a new strength and capacity for seeing God face-to-face. While the Christian was a wayfarer, he received the imprint of the indwelling Trinity as he shared in Gods own life. Now in heaven that grace-life and possession of God reaches its completionthe absolute completion is not achieved, however, until the resurrection of the body. The divine persons give Themselves to the beatified in a profound union far surpassing that of the indwelling of the Trinity experienced here below.
This life of heaven is still the Christ-life, for just as we possess a share in Trinitarian life here below as mediated by Christ, and exercise this grace-life as structured by Him, so also in heaven is the mediation of Christ present. In the words of Rahner, "One always sees the Father through Jesus. Just as immediately as this, for the directness of the vision of God is not a denial of the mediatorship of Christ as man."14 And not only does the humanity of Christ unite the blessed to God, but also, in some way, to the whole of creation. This is merely a completion of what is begun here below, namely, the union with Christ in His humanity establishing the Christian in a special relationship with God, with other men, and with the whole of creation. We have a glimpse, therefore, of the fullness of life which members of the heavenly Church possess.
The heavenly Church, as St. Thomas says, is the true Church.15 The Church of this earth and the Church of purgatory are, each in its own way, reaching out in loving hope for the heavenly Jerusalem. Vatican II puts it very simply: "The Church, to which we are called in Christ Jesus, and in which we acquire sanctity through the grace of God, will attain her full perfection only in the glory of heaven."16
The members of the heavenly Church can help us in living our life of grace until we too share its fullness with them. Their power of intercession on our behalf is but another ramification of the communal aspect of Christianity. We are meant to help others grow in Christ. We, in turn, are intended by God to receive aid from othersyes, from members of the heavenly Church, as well as from those with whom we dwell here below.
Not only can we be aided by the saints intercession, but the example of the canonized saints can also be of great value to us. They have concretely proved that full holiness is possible. Such an inspiration is of real worth when we are tempted to think that Christian sanctity in its higher degrees is impossible of attainment. Moreover, the canonized saints, in their diversity, teach us that there are many authentic versions of Christian holiness. They can be innovators in showing us that there are numerous possibilities in assimilating the mystery of Christ, although the basic assimilation remains the same for all Christians of all times. In the opinion of Rahner this is one of the chief roles the canonized saints exert in the life of the Church.17

R. We pray to the Father united to the Sacrifice of Jesus, in the Holy Spirit through the powerful intercession of Mary, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory.
We unite so deeply at Holy Communion. We want to help make reparation to the Two Hearts for our sins and the sins of the world. I want to help make reparation to His Heart for the injustices and blasphemies against Mary.
We need to feel as a family with all people of the world.
Matthew 12: 46-50
He was still speaking to the crowds when suddenly his mother and his brothers were standing outside and were anxious to have a word with him. But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, 'Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?' And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.'

The Mightiest Messages I Preach in My BeingR. I reach to be so intimate with Him and I want to see through the mind of Christ. In the experience of December 15, 1995 at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church - I was wrapped in the Trinity, time seemed to stand still.
It is in the lifting of the veil and I am existent on the other side. Oh God give us grace, lift the veil - give us grace - so we see with eyes unveiled. The heart open - or closed: When I am open in my heart I love, when I say the little things my heart tells me to say.
Jesus is love. Do I look at my brothers through His eyes? Do I tell them the little words Jesus puts in my heart that He wants to say to them?
Jesus is talking in our hearts to those around us. Am I focused on what He is saying or am I focused on my thoughts - What I want to say to make myself look good? "Gee, that is a pretty dress - you really do that job good." If we live His message, He will do the work. The mightiest messages, I preach in my being.
If this Movement is to proceed ahead, it must be rooted in love. Every act must be delivered in love. I am one in Him. We were uniquely created by Him to help carry out the plan of spreading the love of God to the world.
We must say to Jesus:
Jesus, I love You. I give You my heart. Mary, I love you. I give you my heart. We must unite every action all day with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to the Father, united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory - through the powerful intercession of our Mother Mary.
February 23, 1996 - Friday - 12:00 - 3:00 p. m.
R. I saw Jesus alive in the statue at Immaculata. I sat for one hour and was just with Him. I had a wonderful experience at Mass. I realized my sins, I am so far from Him, but I see the greatness of what is going on.
I see the constant merging of my heart with Theirs (Jesus and Mary) through the Mass, despite my sinfulness. I go to the heart of Mary.
I long for this union with Him. I kept hearing how He took me to the deepest recess of His Heart. I kept seeing the white center - knowing the Father's love and wanting to die to all that is not of Him.
I have felt close to Him for a long time but I feel different, though, at this moment. I see so clearly, my beloved brothers and I know God's love so intently, love for all.
I pray for this oneness with my brothers, that all will love Him with the deepest love and give God what He deserves.
I want to help make reparation to His Heart and Mary's heart for all of the neglect and blasphemies against Their Hearts.
I pray for the priests and religious that they will be deeply united to Him, that we will be one with each other in this Movement, that we will unite to spread this devotion across the world.
February 23, 1996
He Remains with Us, Truly Present
R. God sees us as one family, His beloved creatures. He loves us each with the deepest personal love. He sees us united. It is our love for one another that pleases Him. There is not division in God. He loves each of us and knows our uniqueness. He loves all of us as His creatures. We are all members of His holy family. He wants all His children to inherit the Kingdom of God.
I find refuge by dwelling within His most precious Heart. I feel the inner glow, the heat. I feel the calm beating of His heart. It is there I am wrapped in His burning love. It is there I am united deeply to my most beloved Father. It is there I am joined with the permeating, moving action of the Holy Spirit.
It is my refuge, in this dark and troubled world. It is my heaven on earth, to be joined in love with all He has created, to have perfect peace and know God's chamber of peace and love.
I see the darkness, the vileness of this world, and I go to His Heart. I see, with rose-colored glasses. I see as He wants us to see with eyes of love. I want to love and see as He sees. It is in this deepest chamber of His Heart that I have found the Kingdom of God on earth, for He has said, the Kingdom of God is within you. The Kingdom of God, our little heaven on earth, is in dwelling deeply within Their Hearts. In His Heart is love and in His Heart is peace, in His Heart we are all one as He intends us to be. "But to the man who told him this Jesus replied, 'Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?' And stretching out his hand towards his disciples he said, 'Here are my mother and my brothers. Anyone who does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother." (Matt: 12:48-50)1 We draw in our beloved sisters and brothers by the love that radiates from our eyes, our gentle touch, our loving concern.
Strip yourself of the attachments to this world. Find peace in the freedom of living according to His will, living *In Him, *in this magnificent Heart.
He came, He walked the earth, for love of us. He took on a human body. He gave His adorable Heart that we could live *In Him. He no longer walks this earth, He gives us Himself in the Holy Eucharist. He gives us a human *heart, pierced with a lance, crowned with thorns and holding the cross. The way to this fiery furnace, the way to life in Him, is through much suffering and pain. We identify with Him in all our actions, all our joys and sufferings, united to Him as we live our lives in Him. We walk the Passion, we feel the joys, the deep love in His Heart for His Mother, for all His beloved creatures. We carry out His life in our life.
I am Yours, my Lord. I love You with my whole heart, my whole soul, my whole being. I have found the Kingdom of God on this earth. I have found life in You. When I see the darkness in this troubled world, I go to the deepest, hottest chamber of Your Heart and I am bathed in your abundant love. I take with me my troubled brothers in my heart and I plead for their return to their God who is all worthy of all honor and love and adoration.
I am Yours, Lord, I consecrate my heart to You to live forever in this holy place. I want to die to all that is not of You, that I can be united in the deepest way to You, that my heart will know Your love, that as I live in this world I can truly say, "It is no longer I who live, but He who lives in me."
O, Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I give You my all. I come to You surrounded by the pure and loving heart of Your Mother. I know You won't refuse me in my wretchedness when I come to You in the heart of Your beloved Mother.
The Holy Spirit permeates the very depth of my soul and I enter into the deepest chamber of His fiery Heart. It is there I feel so little, as a little child, and I unite to my most beloved Father. I feel in Your fiery heart the presence of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in the deepest, whitest chamber, in the center of the deepest love. I unite with God and I know my dwelling in You is truly a little heaven on earth.
The Kingdom of God is at hand. There will be an era of peace. We will all be one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We will be one happy family where there will only be love: love of God and love of one another.
And the city shone with the brightest light for within their hearts they knew the love of God and it radiated into the world. There was no longer darkness that covered the earth, but light, radiating from those dwelling within the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. And the star shone over His bed at Bethlehem. He is truly the light of the world and the light shone in the darkness and all who came to this light lived in the light and lived according to the light.
It is in this that we trust, that in all the darkness of the world that the light will shine when men are dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
And, He says: I am the way, the truth and the life. He who abides in me will have the light of life. He came, He was born a baby, He died on a cross, but as He hung on that cross on Calvary, He was the light that shone as the brightest light to the world, withered, beaten and bloodied. He was the brightest light in the darkened sky. It was through His death all men were promised a chance for real life, for eternal salvation.
And the light came forth from the tomb in power and glory, adorned in bright, glistening light. He stood before them with His glorified wounds: His pierced Heart of endless love and He gave them the newness of life-life in Him. The light shone in the darkness. He gave them a sharing in His Divine Life through Baptism and ascended into heaven to prepare a place for us, but He remained with us, truly present, in His Eucharistic Heart. He feeds us with His own Body and Blood. He gives us the Bread of Life. He is the Savior of the World and we live in newness of life because God first loved us!
Song: A Song from Jesus
John 6: 32-35
Jesus answered them: "In all truth I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, it was my Father who gives you the bread from heaven, the true bread; for the bread of God is the bread which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
"Sir," they said, "give us this bread always." Jesus answered them:
"I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever hunger; no one who believes in me will ever thirst."
John 6: 48-58
"I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate manna in the desert, and they are dead; but this is the bread which comes down from heaven, so that a person may eat it and not die. I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world."
Then the Jews started arguing among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Jesus replied to them:
"In all truth I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise that person up on the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in that person. As the living Father sent me and I draw life from the Father, so whoever eats me will also draw life from me. This is the bread which has come down from heaven; it is not like the bread our ancestors ate: they are dead, but anyone who eats this bread will live for ever."
R. I feel His love in the hearts of holy priests. God has given to the priest such a gift and they are another Christ to us. My soul is fed because of His holy priests. I feel fed when a priest loves Jesus so much.
I must see the hearts of men and join with them in one heart, love them deeply in my heart. There will be an era of peace when hearts are one with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Jesus and Mary, I give You my heart.
God wants unity among men. I must join in my heart to all, immediately knowing how Jesus loves them and I too want my heart to love as Jesus loves. Seeing their heart as soon as I look at them, I feel Jesus' love in the hearts of holy priests. Jesus has anointed them and they represent another Christ to us.

Message from Jesus to Father Edward Carter, S.J.
This is your special calling from Jesus to pray for the Church and the world. The power is in Him. He is truly present in the Eucharist. He ascended into heaven, but He remains with us in greatest love. He calls out to us, "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive. Come to me and I will give you rest. Can you not watch one hour with Me?
"I am Jesus. I call you My beloved ones to be Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. I love you, I love you, I love you."

About the Shepherds of Christ Movement for the Convention
R. The Shepherds of Christ Movement is a Movement to help in the renewal of the Church and the world. This Movement is centered in the Consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Our primary goal is to pray for the priests.
Fr. Carter is the Spiritual Director for this Movement. Fr. Carter writes a Spirituality Newsletter which presently is being sent to 70,000 priests in the world. He also writes a newsletter for Sisters and Brothers.
We have prayer chapters all over the world, praying for the priests and religious. We have prayer chapters reaching the children, called Junior Shepherds of Christ. These children pray the rosary and consecrate their Hearts to Jesus and Mary.
In this Movement we have started a movement called Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus. In this movement people volunteer to spend two hours a week before the tabernacle, praying for the Church, the world, and the Shepherds of Christ Movement from the prayers in the prayer manual that Jesus gave Fr. Carter.

Be Like Jesus
R. My most intimate love is Jesus. I know Jesus, all the times we have been alone, the hours and hours spent with Him in such deep love. Jesus is my Divine Lover. No love on this earth can compare to the love given from our Divine God. Jesus fills my being with His presence and I feel deep union with all Three Persons of the Trinity. It is beyond words to describe the presence of My God. I want to be, just to be with Him, alone with Him and spend time with Him, my dates with my beloved Jesus. My day centering around the time I am alone, just Jesus and me in being with each other. These are the greatest moments of my life.
The times I was with my beloved Jesus before the Blessed Sacrament, I scarce can breathe to realize how much God loves me in all my wretchedness and comes inside of my tarnished soul. I want so much to be like Him. Jesus is so beautiful. Jesus Who loved even when He was whipped and beaten at the pillar. I want to love Jesus. It is so hard sometimes. I want Jesus' light to be alive in me so Jesus will live through me and shine as the brightest light in this world. I want a soul that is as filled abundantly by Him. I love His fiery Heart. I am so far from the perfection and He still loves me so much. I go to Mary's heart and she takes me to Jesus' Heart on fire for love of me, little me. The Holy Spirit permeates my soul with the fire of God's love, transforming me more and more into the image of Jesus. I love Him so much and I want Him alive in me.
I give myself in total surrender to You, my beautiful God, realizing how dependent I am on You for everything. I am so willful, so afraid, so full of self - the self that wants to rule and not to be ruled, the self that feels the pain and does not love many times as I should, the self that wants human recognition, the self that wants to be satisfied here in so many little things, and does not realize the great gifts and the great love I am given from You, God.
I see my ungratefulness to You for all Your goodness to me. I see my lack of love for so much love You give to me. I see my ungratefulness for the love and kindness given to me from others, through You. I see a little scared child, the little child that stands by the tree in the darkened, rainy night and cries when there is shelter in Your burning Heart. I see and I want to be better but I see my total dependence on You to be sanctified and I beg for Your grace.
Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart
R. Oh, I see the human part of me that needs to be saturated with Your Divine grace. I want to be divinized by You. I want to share in Your life, deeper and deeper. I want You, God. I want oneness with You, to be so united to You that I live in You. I know this completeness. I know what I experienced on December 15th. You gave me such a grace and I knew You so intimately. This is my goal, God, to be like this but it takes Your grace. I want this mystical marriage with You, at every second to feel one in You. Mary is the key to dwelling deeply in Your Heart.
Negativism and shaming is not from God. We should be elated to discuss the great gifts You have given us.
How would Jesus handle the problem? How would Jesus treat those who followed Him? How did Jesus speak to the Apostles? Jesus was concerned with their spiritual life.
I want to be filled by the Holy Spirit to live in vibrancy in God. If adoration and time is not spent with Jesus, you get human minds working on a divine plan.
Words can build up, words can tear down. A condemning, shaming remark can tear down a vibrant spirit. The Word of God is so powerful. Anger comes from deep inside; anger surfaces in incidental matters.
If work is done for the love of God, if love is the primary concern, if building of spirits is the main focus of the words spoken, they will be delivered in love, even when they are criticism.
If criticism is delivered with anger, the anger can tear down. Never should one use ways to provoke anger and control in others. Never should one use passive-aggressive ways to attack passively. Anger comes from deep within the soul. It surfaces in incidental matters. Many times the matters are created to vent the anger built up inside. A person can have an unpeaceful heart and not feel comfortable in groups so they come to a place where people are at peace, praying, working and start provoking or attacking in passive-aggressive ways to build the wall they feel comfortable with.
If in the case of a person: I am angry, you are the reason. I find you guilty, I vent the anger. I am relieved. Three days later it surfaces again. You are responsible again for my anger. It will not go away until the person looks deep inside and owns the anger and gets rid of it.
Alcoholism has generations of angry people. Until the person 'owns' the anger, they will continue to blame others for how they are feeling. As long as they are justified and find a scapegoat to vent it on, they will continue to vent it on that person and the 'anger can' come out in rage. Anger is from deep within it can be like an 'anger can' which has been sprayed on that family Perfectionism, stiff, I rule you get under me selfishness unloving, envious, jealousy - centered in pride. It is like a pressure cooker from generations of angry people.
See diagram - anger - blame somebody after attack - relieves anger a little 3-4 days later, anger is back and needs to be relieved - blame somebody for my anger and once this happens, continue to blame them. Anger - relieved.
Three or four days later - never goes away - anger is deep within. Anger keeps surfacing. Anger is relieved. Many people have a bottomless pit of generations of anger. It comes out as hungry dogs in the basement. It subsides for a while and it comes out again.
Must look at the source of the anger. Deep in the person - they must own it and deal with it. Can't blame somebody else for your anger. When you don't feel good inside, you look inside and see why. You don't blame somebody else for angry emotions inside of yourself. This is projection: I don't feel good, it is this other person's fault. If you react with anger instantly, then it can be something in your past you are reacting to.
You must own the anger as within yourself and see what turned on the switch inside that made you angry. Cycles of abuse where a person constantly provokes and gets away with it. God intends us to be responsible and accountable for our actions, we are to operate in love come and be with people in love not come to have a fight, challenge, start trouble because of anger inside. You must look at relationships with all significant others in the past. Did my father criticize me - usually the problem is in childhood. Angry parents pass on angry children.
Children watch parents get angry. They learn to be angry. They store up a lot of emotions that were not vented as a child a lot of needs that were not met.
When a person is violated by another to the point of anger, it is usually something to do with childhood. Anger is stored and continues to build. It is in purifying the heart that we learn to love.
We must go inside our heart and clean out all the debris not provoke another to get away with our darkness inside of us. We will have peace, if we are at peace with God. God calls us to love. He commands us to love. People challenging those over them to get control or discredit authority are not working under the structure God wants men to work under God blesses obedience to those over us.
The more we clean out our heart of all that is not like Him, the more He can fill our heart with Hs love. Anger is stored up emotions from the past. It can be a volcano inside to a little anger.
Anger comes out in accordance to how it is built up inside. A person can provoke another, abuse another, in front of others, so they look good and the authority looks discredited. This can happen over and over again the person comes to discredit those in charge. It is not God's way of love and obedience. Anger can be acted out by passive-aggressive attacks provoking, lying, challenging and it can be acted out over and over again with no validation to the secret passive-aggressive attacks. This can be called acting-out, where the person is trying to resolve loss of power from their family life and now turn an innocent situation is into a battlefield.
It has nothing to do with the person it is projected at, they are the scapegoat. Once a person finds a scapegoat, they continue to use that person if they get away with it. They genuinely believe it is the other person's fault that they are angry. Until they see anger as their emotion, they continue to blame others for the darkness and unloving hatred inside of them. Division in their soul.
People use alcohol, or other outlets such as work, to relieve the pain from the wounds of childhood. Until they look at the wounds and their relationship with others, they continue to act out their childhood problems on others, trying to once and for all, end the problems deep within. They are trying to resolve unfinished business with others from the past like loss of power. Until they own their problems with others as their own and quit looking to others for answers, they will continue to have problems with others.
If I have a problem with you, I must look inside and see how I am acting that is causing it. Passive-aggressive ways are hidden.
I should express myself, not promote myself and make myself better than you, but to do God's work, to use the talents He gave me to accomplish His work for me.
We are as the lights on a Christmas tree, if we are plugged in, the whole tree lights up. If it is a single circuited strand of lights, a few may be broken but the tree basically lights up.
God looks to this earth and sees much darkness. Darkness has covered the earth. Mary appears as Our Lady of Light to plug our hearts into her Son. Our hearts are our bulbs that light the tree of God's children. All light flows from the heart and the soul.
Mary has spoken, she has told us how to light this world. It is the burning Heart of her Son. We do not listen to her. The earth remains in darkness. Mary says, "Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world." When we have consecrated our hearts to Jesus and Mary, we will light the world.
It is as the Christmas tree when many lights are shining, the tree is lighted. When many lights are in darkness, the whole tree looks dark, but the few that are lit stand out against the darkness.
We must stay rooted in Him. We must plug our heart into Mary's heart and she will plug us into her Son. Jesus is the power source. Only in Him will the light shine.
Mary, our Mother, I give you my heart. Place it in the Heart of your Son that we will be one body in Him, that we will light up the earth. And the light shone as the brightest light and it covered the earth. The light to this darkened world is the fire of His love.

See and Know and Love
R. See and know and love humanity as with the mind of Jesus.
Reflection on December 15th. During all of these mystical experiences, there is not time - time stands still. In a moment I was satisfied. I wanted for nothing. I knew God as I never knew Him before. This is what I aim for in this white center of this union with Him where I unite to the Father.
It is in the lifting of the veil I see and know more as the veil is lifted of love. All of these mystical experiences are experienced when They lift the veil.
I have had such a presence of the Trinity - as in the summer of 1994 in my study room. Someone could have stuck a pin in me and I would not have felt it where I exist in this way. So one in God.
I should express myself, not promote myself and make myself better than you, but to do God's work, to use the talents He gave me, to accomplish His work for me.
Focused on God!!
February 28, 1996
Help Make Reparation to God for Sin
R. God wants us to love our brothers. I am to help make reparation for my sins and the sins of the whole world. Many of God's children are offending God. God wants us to tell Him we are sorry for the sins of the world. God gives us the Mass, the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present. We unite with Jesus, giving ourselves to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the intercession of Mary to help make reparation for our sins and the sins of the world.
We unite with the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory and all at Mass - praying at Mass in reparation for sins, in love to God, in petition and thanksgiving to God and praising God the Almighty. The Mass is giving ourselves in love to God. God opens the flood gates of heaven and outpours His grace to the Church and the world.
Why does God give us these references in the Bible? Why do we have to read them? We are in the Father's "family". We are brothers in Christ.
Adam and Eve sinned. Eve is the mother of all the living; Adam is the father. We have original sin. Jesus is the New Adam, Mary the New Eve.
Exodus 34: 6-7
Then Yahweh passed before him and called out, Yahweh, Yahweh, God of tenderness and compassion, slow to anger, rich in faithful love and constancy, maintaining his faithful love to thousands, forgiving fault, crime and sin, yet letting nothing go unchecked, and punishing the parents fault in the children and in the grandchildren to the third and fourth generation!
R. I see the family relationship between myself and my neighbor. I deal with my neighbor as a brother. I plead to the Father for my family, my beloved brothers.
I saw through the eyes of God on February 22nd. He gave me clear vision to see His family of creatures. He took me to a little spot. He revealed this to me.
We must pray to see more and more the mystery of God. We pray to be open, not closed down and stiff-necked. If I am having a problem with my brothers, I take the problem to my Papa, to my Mother and give it to my brother Jesus. I put it under His cross. Jesus paid the price for our sins.
I remember before I received messages (before 1991) one Saturday morning, I went to my study and I heard this story: Suppose a little boy was bad and the school was going to expel him for his conduct. His big brother stepped in and said, "Don't expel my brother, let me pay for the offense, expel me instead, give my brother another chance. I love him."
This is what we do to God. We say Papa, this is my brother and I love him. Let me help make reparation for my sins and the sins of my brother, through Jesus. I take my burden to the foot of the cross. I know my brother Jesus paid for our sins.
Mary is the Mother of our Christ-life. I must go to her. I must go to my Father as a little, little child, with all my problems. We are brothers. We tell our Father we are having a problem. We say, "Father, look at what our brother Jesus did for us. We ask You, Father, through Jesus, to have mercy on us and our brothers. We want to help make reparation to You, Father, through the wounded Heart of Jesus." The Father will hear our plea.
Jesus is Divine. Our sins are paid for through His death on the cross. Mary is sinless - we want to help make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We are sinful children. Mary pleads our case to the Father through her sinless heart.
Jesus took me to a place, to let me see more and more clearly through the eyes of God. I pray to know the mind and heart of God. I pray to the Holy Spirit to enlighten me. I could see my relationship with others as my brothers. I know more how God loved us as a family. From this moment on I call Him "Papa", My beloved Father, my beloved Mother, my beloved brothers and sisters in Him. That is why reparation at Communion is so important. It is when I am in the deepest oneness with Jesus, My Divine mediator.
Jesus took me to the inner chamber of His Heart and I knew the love of God as never before. It was there, I united so deeply to the Father, it was there the Spirit of God gave me wisdom and knowledge, understanding and counsel.
I begged for knowledge of God and my dearest friend, the Holy Spirit, gave me an insight into the Divine Mystery of God's love, God's plan for all men. The Father's Plan will unfold, despite all of the willfulness of men.
Thank You God, how I love You, I worship You and I adore You.
Who is My Mother. Who is my brother? Anyone who does the will of my Father. I dwell in the Heart of Jesus. Jesus shed His Blood for the sins of all men. Perfect love casts out fear. We tell God we are sorry for our sins. We must strive to please our heavenly Father. All of a sudden I have such peace for the Father told me His plan will unfold despite our willfulness. We must be in one mind and one heart, pleading our case to the Father, united in the Mass, the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present.
Mary said at Fatima, "Unless a sufficient number of people have given their hearts to Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world."
We will have peace when enough are giving their hearts to Jesus and Mary's heart.
There will not be any "bumping of heads" amongst this brethren. Who is my Mother? Who is my brother? Anyone who does the will of the Father.
I look at Jesus on the cross and I know He paid the price for our sins with His Blood. Jesus paid the price. Jesus is the Savior of the world.
Song: A Song from Jesus
R. I offer myself as a sacrifice with Him to the Father. The sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present now at every Mass. I unite myself to Jesus to plead for mercy from the Father in the Holy Spirit, through the intercession of Mary. My every action is united in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world.
The Father sees my offering as a sacrifice offered to Him united to Jesus for my sins and the sins of the whole world. The more I am one in Jesus, the greater my intercessory prayer.
Man has sin; man is sinning. The Father wants us to help make reparation to God, for God is offended by our sins.
God is about to strike the earth. Mary, our Mother pleads and who pays heed? We must go to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Take shelter from the wind and the storm in the Heart of Jesus.
Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart.
If we are not attached to the vine we wither and die. The life of the body is fed through the Heart of Jesus. Jesus gives us His Body and His Blood. They pierced His Heart and what flowed out was blood and water; water, a symbol for Baptism, whereby we are given a sharing in His life, Blood, a symbol of the Eucharist whereby the body is fed.

Pain and Suffering
R. The agony I feel in my soul is so great. I wish there was something so simple here I could blame it on so I could forgive and it would be over, but nothing can help to stop the utter agony I am suffering in my arms and my legs are shaky.
I want to scream to know what I know and have no one to share this with. My God, my God, how truly I love only Thee! The utter anguish is indeed so great. No death could be this painful. The pain in the soul deep within, the soul that longs for God, the pain of those in purgatory.
The pain of everlasting hell is beyond the human mind's comprehension. We waste valuable time worrying about details. We must think of souls shriveling in the fires of hell for all eternity - the pain is not knowing God!
We play a key role in helping souls to know God. Many souls will go to hell. We must put aside our differences and see the souls parading into hell. He wants us to reach the precious souls of this earth with His love.
Satan will use every detail to slow us on our way. Satan will create division, doubt and anxiety. He will drag our spirits down with criticism. We are given such graces and gifts and we are ungrateful for the gifts He gives us.
The focus is to spread His love. Souls will be lost while we tarry. We must focus on the souls going to hell. We must let go of incidentals and spread the message of His love.
We love His priests with the most burning love. Souls are at stake. His message is for His Church and His world. We are the messengers to deliver His message of love to this world. We must thank Him for every gift, thank and praise God endlessly in song. The Holy Spirit will lift us high. I love You my precious Jesus.
I suffered so much agony for the souls suffering in purgatory. I cannot give in to feeling sorry for myself. Souls are at stake. We are given great graces to help in the work of redemption. We must reach the world with the messages of His love. We must not give in to the thoughts that Satan plants in our head to divide us.
You must take them in your heart whether they return your love or not. Your love for them will never be the same -- I do not want to hurt you anymore.
March 1, 1996
A Clogged Vessel
R. I must meditate on the differences I have with everyone and forgive them so my heart will be pure. If I am filled with anger toward my brother I am a clogged vessel. I want my heart filled with His love. I do not reflect His love in my actions when I am a clogged vessel.
My heart must be pure. I cannot have anger in me for anyone. I must always respond in love. I must pray for the grace to forgive, to let go of any unforgiveness.
I cannot make myself right and others wrong. I must want to do whatever is the will of God. If I have a difference with my brother, I cannot harbor anger in my heart, it festers inside of me, it effects my union with God, it robs my heart of needed love, it hurts how I am in my heart. My time could be spent loving God, loving others and doing His work.
Mary and Jesus' Hearts are pure. If we dwell in Their Hearts we will become more like Them. If this Movement is to proceed ahead, it must be rooted in love. Every act must be delivered in love, realizing that we are one in Him, all uniquely created by Him to help carry out this plan, to spread His burning love to this world.
To do this I must stay deeply rooted in His fiery heart.
We must, all through the day, each and every member, tell Jesus we love Him. Tell Mary we love her. We give you, Jesus and Mary, our hearts. We must unite all our actions with the Mass, Jesus gave Himself for us, Jesus gives us Himself today. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present. Jesus loves us so much. The Mass is celebrated all over the world. We unite all our actions to the Mass sacramentally made present all over the world. Oh God we love you, Thank you for the priest and the Mass.
We must pray to God for the grace to be holy. Strive to be perfect as our heavenly Father wants us to be, reflecting the image of Jesus, Jesus is the Savior of the world. We must be prudent and temperate I must pray for the virtues and the gifts. I must take care of myself, get the proper rest and eat sensibly.

Mary Cares for Us
R. We can identify with Mary as our heavenly Mother when we meditate on the mysteries of the rosary, Mary so lovingly carried Jesus, she so lovingly cares for us.
March 2, 1996
Notes on Words
R. People do not understand what it is to have God talk to you. I know what He says and they do not even comprehend how it is to see Mary and hear her say "souls are gong to hell". I come filled with energy and the devil wants to block these messages and writings. Some are so angry at me because satan wants them to try to stop Jesus' message. Mary and Jesus come in great love. Some interfere with the message to try to stop it, they take the energy out of me.
Are we grateful for this gift God gives? Do you believe? Do you want me to just work to convince you?
Jesus: Division will divide this Movement as a two-edged sword. Words are precious gems that bind. The devil wants angry hearts to block My message of love.
R. I deliver this message first hand as God made it clear to me.
Second Hand - is second hand.
My misdeeds are when I offend Jesus. That is my concern.
The devil wants people called to help me, to try to block this gift. My main focus is my spiritual life, my life with Jesus.Jesus: Draw the people together to work for God - to do the work in love. Write for Me, My Blue Books. Draw the people in one heart. Be positive, tell them to support you.
R. Here is the beautiful thing God has told me, "I let you see Mary". See her love for us - I know we must go to Mary's Immaculate Heart.
Real love binds us together. My job is to unite all the people to pray for this Mission. The devil wants someone to divide our hearts, discredit me, stop the needed prayer God asks for here. God wants us fervently serving Him. God, the Holy Spirit wants us to pray to Him to unite us. God , the Holy Spirit wants to fill us. God wants us to serve Him. We do this for God, not wanting recognition, just to serve ourselves. God wants love and service.
Negative - the devil wants to wipe out zeal, enthusiasm - the devil wants sadness, lathery. The devil wants to block all the work of love of God and helping souls. We are to grow in holiness, loving God despite opposition, and doing God's will.
March 2, 1996
A Priest can Show the Love of Jesus
R. The priest needs to feed the people with the love of God. When people come to the Mass and the Sacraments, they are spiritually fed. If they do not come, if they are not fed, they go away hungry.
A priest, filled with the deep burning love of God, shows the faithful the love of Jesus. Jesus must live in the priest, his every action must be one with Jesus. He is a priest - according to the law of Melchizedek. He should offer the sacrifice of the Mass with such devotion and honor.
The priest should talk about dying to self and uniting with Christ on the cross, speak with all their heart. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. Does the priest, filled with the Holy Spirit, show the life of Jesus alive in him? A priest does these things when he is one with Jesus. Love is action from the heart.
Jesus wants His holy Church alive with His love. He wants them to sing with their hearts, the songs. Sing with the songs, be so one in the Mass. Be active, loving God, loving others.
I saw on January 20th, with eyes unveiled, the Mass and experienced the great sorrow in my heart from Jesus. Every person at Mass was so disconnected, many coming to Mass to put in their time. Jesus wants love. Jesus wants us singing in one heart, being a family, caring for one another, living the Gospel. We are fed at Mass. We go to the Mass and receive the Sacraments, we are fed.
The priest is another Christ to us. The priest holds up the host with the greatest love of Jesus and says, as Jesus would say, "This is My Body". As Jesus says, "I give you Myself, I give you Myself, tell them Rita, tell them." I hurt to tell the words I have heard Jesus holler. "they run from my altar and I am in them!" I hurt, I hurt, I hurt to know and hear Jesus call out: "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive."
Jesus says: "I died for them - what more do they want?" "Tell them Rita, tell them. I am in the tabernacle. My Heart bleeds for them." Jesus calls us today. (He said about the priests: "To take out the aching heart messages is to give them what they already have - a non-emotional relationship with Me.")
Notes: Read message of March 30, 1994: Larry referred to me as a recorder, a rush in the heart and God spoke - that isn't how it is.
February 6th said in God's Blue Book II -My Heart Aches for You
end of excerptFebruary 6, 1994 5:00 a. m.
R. On January 5th I had such longing in my chest. The pain was terrible. Also, on January l6th, such an ache. I ache again today. I ached on Christmas so intensely, to love Him more, to behold my Lord a little, but never completely, such agony, such pain. This pain could be compared to the pain of the souls in purgatory. To want to behold someone so much, but be unable! Such pain of longing and waiting! The heart is in great pain to behold Our Lord.
He is indeed a true person. He is as a person you love so intently and long to behold but cannot. He has this ardent love for us. He longs for us to come and be with Him. He yearns for our time with Him. He begs from the tabernacle for us to come and be with Him, yet we say, "Oh, I am too busy!"
God-made-man sits alone in the tabernacle, lamenting the love He has for each of us. He is a person. He craves for us to come and share our love with Him. How can we be too busy for this ardent love? How do you stay away when your lover is waiting and begging you to come? He is indeed the bridegroom of the soul. He, with a heart of fire and intense love, waits for our time with Him. It wounds His aching heart when we treat Him with such indifference and turn our backs on Him. It wounds His aching heart when we reject Him and stay away. It wounds His aching heart when He comes to us in such a union in Holy Communion and we are cold! How hard to love someone so intensely and then be received with coldness. Think of the most ardent love you could have for someone and then to be treated coldly. It wounds His aching heart.
His heart is a furnace of endless love. He waits for you, His love, in the tabernacle and in Communion. He longs for you to come (I smell incense) and be with Him. He is the bridegroom of your soul. He is your ardent lover. He is God and He is waiting for you, longing for you.
R. On January 5, 1994 I had such longing in my chest, the pain was terrible.
On January 16th - such an ache. I ache again today. I ached on Christmas so intensely, to love Him more, to behold my Lord a little but never completely - such agony, such pain. I think of the souls in purgatory wanting to go to heaven. To want to behold someone so much, but be unable to. Such pain of longing and waiting. The heart is in great pain to behold Our Lord.
Jesus is a Person you love so intently and long to behold but cannot. Jesus has this ardent love for us. He longs for us to come and be with Him. He yearns for our time with Him. Jesus begs from the tabernacle for us to come and be with Him, yet we say, "Oh, I am too busy."
God-made-Man, is in the tabernacle. Jesus cries out for our love. Jesus tells us the love He has for each of us. He is a Person. Jesus longs for us to come and give our love to Him.
The words in Blue Book II tell of the burning love God has for us. Jesus wants all to read these messages. Jesus calls out from the tabernacle - today - to us!
March 13, 1994 - I remember this as clearly as yesterday and my insides feel the pain: "I was overtaken by an intense unrest. I was compelled to go to the tabernacle. I felt such suffering, suffering that Jesus suffered so for us and that everyone is too busy about their lives. Suffering for the indifference to Him and how He loves us despite our neglect. It was awful - I felt as I had on Christmas."
Jesus: "My whole Body ached from head to toe. I suffered so, My child. You will never know how I suffered for love of you. I am God and I loved all My precious ones to My death - and they ignore Me!" Read March 13, 1994. (The part that was deleted before the "big boom", was about the priests) "I am begging you to not hold back this emotion. Holler you must - get my messages out. I wait for My beloved souls. I love them so dearly.
"Oh, child, My beloved ones are blind and are going down the same road that leads to nowhere. You must preach My messages. You must distribute My letters. You must tell all how I wait here and no one cares.
"Do not depend on the priests to get out these messages - Go to My faithful ones. Spread the messages at the Center. Keep them in your car - You will be called on in an instant and I will speak My message to My beloved ones through you.
"Ready yourself for a big boom. No one is listening. I am crying out to you. Prepare your brothers. They are in darkness. Their souls are dying inside of them. Some come to Me with such indifference in Communion. Oh, this offends My Sacred Heart.
"I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am on fire for love of them. I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I call you to this state of urgency. Move your friends by this urgent letter. There is no more time to waste. I call you all here to deliver this message personally to you. I am Jesus. I am begging each of you to spread My message. Tell them of My ardent love. In each moment you waste, souls will be lost.
"I call Ellen, Linda, Martha, Gerry, Charlotte, Larry, Ken, Teal, Cathy and Joe. I call you to a state of urgency. My heart aches. I cry to you to listen.
"I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am God. I am calling to you. Will you listen or will you be numb to My pleading?"
R. All through Blue Book II it talks of me having pain,
"Hearts are oh, so different! Hearts express emotion within, the more you are fixed in Me and My ways, the more your heart burns with My love.
Your pain of longing for me on Christmas was such an intense pain. You feel this pain deep in your heart because of such longing for me."
February 6, 1994 He told me to give this
letter to Fr. Allison.
February 6, 1994 Had a vision of children before Mass.
Jesus: "Lead the children to the love of Jesus. Lead My priests and sisters to My infinite love. My love is abounding to all. My love is on fire for everyone. On fire! You must tell them. Speak for Me. All must know of this intense love for them. See the children - they will be led home. Their hearts will know My love. I want you to speak in front of groups about My love.
Now I look at the book and see it is all full of my experiences with His aching Heart. I in pain and ecstasy. Jesus is a Person - Alive - He is ignored and forgotten.
March 6, 1994 - My Heart bleeds ... Every soul has periods of unrest because the soul was made to love the Lord.
Jesus on March 6, 1994
"Sunday is a day I let you suffer - My aching Heart! I want you to tell others how I ache for love of them. I allow you to suffer on Saturday and Sundays for My aching Heart."
R. He has told me so many times: You will have a stigmata of the heart. Yesterday I felt as if I would die - my heart ached so badly.
His Heart was pierced with a lance. He feeds us with His blood and He is ignored and forgotten.
Messages, most important to Jesus: May 25,
1995 I Am Alive!
Jesus wants Blue Book II in the hands of the priests.
May 25, 1995
I Am Alive!
R. Prayer is a lifting up of our minds and hearts to God. Who am I that I can change any event that is occurring in the lives of another, that I can affect the outcome of any event? I am a child of my Father. My Father is the Almighty God. How I love my dear Father. He is God and He has created me in His own image and likeness. My beloved, dear Father, how I love You that You give me such gifts - that You allow me to share in Your life!
You are the Father of Jesus and You are My Father. Thank You, My Father, for all Your gifts and for Your life. Who am I that I can affect the life of any person?
I am a child of God. I call on my dear Father and He loves me so, He listens to me. I lift my heart to You, my dear beloved Father and You listen to little me and You care for me so much. I call upon God and the Almighty God cares for me with such love that He listens.
Jesus: Such truths have been given to you from My Father because of His great love for you. You are far more precious than the finest pearls, My beloved child. The Father so loved you He gave His Son so that you would have life. He gave His Son as a sacrifice for you. The Father gives to you His life through Jesus, His Son. You partake in His divine life.
I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. My life I give to you, I live in your being, My beloved, I impart to you My divine life.
How many turn their backs on the great gift of this life given from the Father. To know this life and to know all those who have rejected this great gift!
I am the Almighty God, My power is endless. The power and might you felt within yourself is only a small sampling of My immense power.
I am God and I am allowing you to experience what you are experiencing to spread My love to others. Your immense understanding into these mysteries will help you speak and write them for others.
I have chosen you as an instrument to touch many hearts and bring them to My divine love. Great gifts and understandings into these mysteries I am giving to you. You will lead many priests to the love of God.
I am alive. I am God. I long to be loved by man and many have turned
their backs on Me and forgotten Me. You must tell them all I am allowing you to experience, these sufferings and understandings into My deep love.
This is the beginning of many days when I will allow you to experience the rejection I felt from those I loved. Your heart is in immense pain for the souls who reject Me despite My love for them.
I beg you to speak and write. Make reparation for souls that have forgotten My love. Spread the love of My Sacred Heart and My Mother's heart, throughout the world.
I love, I love, I love My beloved souls. I beg you to tell them. I beg Fr. Carter to tell every soul on this earth of My love. You will continue to suffer such pain and anguish in your heart. Suffer in silence for souls. I love so deeply and am so gravelly offended!
I am Jesus, My dear, little child. I am alive and in this world. I live in the hearts of men, I live in the consecrated Host, I am forgotten and ignored and treated with such dishonor.
Speak for Me, I beg you to spread this love throughout this earth. I am sending you as missionaries into this world.
On this Ascension Thursday, I have given you great sufferings and great joy. I have allowed you to experience the highest ecstasies in My love and plunge you into deep pain in your heart for those who reject Me.
You, I send as missionaries to carry out the work I have begun. Be fearless and pray to the Spirit. This day I am giving you abundant graces to speak, and through this speaking, others are sent into this world as My apostles.
It is through the Shepherds of Christ Movement My love will be spread. Circulate My messages and rosary meditations. The love of the two Hearts will be known throughout this world through these messages and rosary meditations.
You will be fearless, everyone I send to you is a messenger to carry out My love. Circulate these letters with FIRE for I am delivering them to you in FIRE.
I am Jesus Christ, the Living God. I am allowing you to experience My life, alive in you and giving you these emotions to spread My love.
On this Ascension Thursday, I beg you to carry out the message to this world. Live My life in your life, every moment My life living within you.
I am the Way, I am the Truth, I am the Life. I have commissioned you to go out and to carry this message - the message of My immense love for ALL mankind, including My burning love for My priests and religious. Souls will turn their hearts to Me from these letters. This is the mighty medicine to turn a sick, cold world to hearts filled with the love of God.
Prayer, My beloved ones, is the lifting up of your minds and hearts to God. When you intercede to Me through My Mother's heart, I will pour out My greatest mercy.
I will not refuse hearts begging for grace for their loved ones. Pray from your whole being. Let My life live in you.
You can pray and ask God to send help. You do not know the power of a heartfelt prayer. I listen to your prayers. The Father and Holy Spirit are listening to your prayers. The more you unite with God, the greater you intercessory prayer. I am Jesus. I am alive this day. I ask you to spread My messages to the world. I am crying out in your heart on this Ascension Thursday. I ascended into heaven and I have left behind you to carry out what I began. I am with you. I am alive this day. I will unite with you and the earth will know the power of the Almighty God. I am Jesus Christ, Chief Shepherd of the flock. Lead My little ones home - home to the burning members of My Most Sacred Heart, through My Mother's heart.
R: I cried so hard, I have never been so immersed in heartache. I heard Him shout, "I Am Alive, I Am Alive." I cried so hard, I could hardly write.
I know Him. He is alive in my being. My soul is filled with His love. I live the life of Jesus and Mary in my life. I love His life, her life - their presence forever with me. From this great gift, these rosary meditations, His life has become one with mine. I feel His life in the Mass. I hear Mary under the cross. I hear the cries for the souls going to hell for their willfulness and sins. I hear the laments of Jesus in the tabernacle - how He longs and thirsts for souls and is neglected and ignored. I hear Him tell of the sacrileges committed against the Holy Eucharist.
I heard Him this day. I felt His presence and the presence of the Almighty God as He cries out, "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive."
He is alive. We have the Mass. He gives us Himself in the Eucharist. Mary is appearing, we are given this rosary. We are sent as soldiers by Him in the Shepherds of Christ. We are thirsting for union with Him, sent by Him, apostles to go out to this world and spread His love, one with the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, one with the Trinity. He will light this earth with hearts on fire for love of Him.
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.
The earth shakes and the Son of Man appears. He lives in the hearts of all. I want hearts on FIRE for love of Me. I want vibrancy and love from My beloved ones. Hold not back My love from this world.
I adore you, Oh Lord, I praise you, I worship you, I bless Him with my whole soul. My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord and holy, holy is His name! Jesus wants souls that are holy, on fire with the love of Jesus. Make novenas to the Holy Spirit to have hearts on FIRE with the love of God. Sound the trumpet, sound the gong - Jesus LIVES - He lives this day! Alleluia.
Sunday is a special day to praise Him, to love Him, to pray to Him - His day to be honored and worshipped in a special way. Pray from a pure and holy heart, a heart that sings for love of the Lord. Pray from your whole being.
March 3, 1996
Love Your Brothers
Jesus: You must love with a heart of love as I have loved them. You love as I love through you. To be one heart there must be this love, deep, accepting love of all My beloved ones. Love is giving. I loved those who persecuted Me. To My death, I loved all men. I love men in all their sins.
If you want to love as I loved, you must love all men with this great love, for I love all men this way.
March 3, 1996
Be There!
R. Be in the mind of the Father, see
His Family as He sees us, truly as His children.
Be in the heart of Mary. Feel with her heart, know with her mind, think
with her thoughts.
Be in the Heart of Jesus. Feel with His Heart, know His love.
Be there as Jesus was whipped at the pillar, think the thoughts to know
the next blow that will tear His flesh.
Love with His Heart and feel the rejection, to know that those people He
loved so much and was beaten for, would suffer because of their hate.
The tone of voice, eyes, reflect the Christ who lives within us. Let
your hearts of love shine on your face. God's life filling us is too
mighty to be contained.
We cannot hide our interior life. The interior life is in our actions, in our being. We are a projection of the life within.
Jesus calls us to be Him to this world, to live as He lived, in peace and in love. We are the lights that shine forth in the darkness. His light be reflected in our whole being. Jesus wants to live in the world in us. Jesus no longer walks the earth, He lives in us. Jesus wants us to be His light that shines in this world. As we are in our hearts, so we will be in this world. Jesus is our Beloved Savior.
It isn't all the prayers - we must share
time and love with one another.
He calls us to serve as He served. He walked this earth in service, in
love, in peace.
He did not come as a high and mighty, He came as a lowly servant, a
helpless baby.
We follow Him by our life of love and service.
How many times do we scatter? We are struck in this world. Torn apart by
those focusing on themselves and not serving Jesus. We turn away from
our precious Lord.
Jesus is with us in the tabernacle today.
I was blind but now I see. What the world does to us because they won't
listen, is to tell us we cannot see.
We are to endure suffering focusing on God's will for us. Stay rooted in Him even when things are touch in our lives, we don't become bitter, we are Christians, we are like Christ who came to this earth and suffered, but did the Father's will, despite His rejections and suffering. We are to live in Him and be holy and stay fixed on Him, witnessing to Jesus who lives in us.
March 5, 1996
See Mary's Eyes Looking Into Jesus' Eyes
R. Mary and Jesus' Hearts met and They knew each other's sorrow when everybody else was cold. Their eyes met, and in that look They shared the deep sorrow within.
The great sorrow of
suffering alone was lessened by the sharing of Their sorrow.
In that look They shared deeply in Their souls Their terrible
agony.
Jesus suffered so much bitter agony in the Garden. He felt every human emotion. He felt alone and rejected by those He loved so dearly and was willing to give His life for them, anyway.
Jesus saw before Him His whole Passion - the spitting on Him, the tearing of His flesh.
We do not understand even minutely how He, in His Divine Mind, knew all these things, but He knew all of the physical suffering, coupled with all of the sufferings of rejection and indifference, for all time and all the sins of men.
In this moment of love that I give to Jesus, it comforts Him during His bitter Passion.
Think of the deepest loneliness in your heart, the deepest time when you were all alone, and know how it comforted you when someone you loved deeply shared your pain.
Jesus, in the Garden, was in the greatest agony that He sweat blood. How sweet is the love I give Him at this moment. How cool the drops of love against His furrowed brow. How His Heart longed for this love! Our love was sweetness in His great sorrow and our love comforted Him in His bitter Passion. Jesus knew our sweet love in His Passion
Oh, Jesus, that I may never forget this experience, as I suffered and felt pressed down in deepest agony, I know you love me. I felt the great love of Your Heart and your Mother's heart. In this agony I shared in that look with you, Your agony and Your comfort through the meeting of Your eyes with Your beloved Mother.
May I forever give you the greatest love that as You suffered in the garden, at the pillar, when You were crowned with thorns, knew my love here for You this day. Sweet Jesus I love You, so much.
May I look into Your eyes as Your Mother did on the way to Calvary and give You my love.
I was bowed down and pressed on, my spirit was at the deepest low and I saw the peering eyes of my beloved Savior and in that look I knew His love. I saw His Bloodied face. I know how He suffered. I unite my suffering to the Bloodied face of Jesus.
I love You, I love You, I love You. It is in our suffering that we share deeply in His love.
When the whole world is cold, we meet the eyes of Jesus, we see His Bloodied face, and we know His love. I understand more deeply the intimacy shared between Jesus and Mary on the way to Calvary and this helps me understand His love more deeper for me and for souls. Focus on His Bloodied face in suffering. See it, see it before you in the suffering.
Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary
R. See the eyes that look at Mary, her tender infant Son. See Jesus and Mary - the look of comfort and love, the sharing of sorrow. We can ponder the love of these 2 Hearts for each other. (Use Blue Book 4)
The evil one wants us sad, despondent, dragging us and others down, dark, disconnected inharmonious. He wants commotion, division, unrest - negative energy. I cannot let what people say to me affect me. As He knew all the sufferings, He focused on the Father's love.
We do not know the pains Jesus suffered during His bitter passion. We must give God great love. Jesus says: "Comfort My aching Heart for the souls who reject Me, Comfort My aching Heart with your sweet love, now."
R. Christ suffers no more. He died once, the bitter death. He has been raised in glory. He cries out to us today to comfort His aching Heart. His Heart experienced pain and suffering for the rejection and indifference of all men from all time. He likewise experienced all joy and love of those who love Him, comfort during those bitter hours of His agony.
We must comfort His Heart. We must make reparation after communion for our sins and the sins of men. We must pray for the grace to love Him deeper.
March 5, 1996
Jesus Is Alive
R. Jesus wants to live in us. To be one in us. We are commissioned to carry out His life, death and resurrection in our lives. These messages are letters of His love. Jesus is alive, He is alive, He is alive. We are never alone. I am very sinful and fall, I need Him. I thank Him for His great gifts to me. When I do good it is because of His grace and my cooperation with it, it is a gift from God.
I see how it is that I ache and suffer, agony and Jesus gives me a gift of knowing His love for me. That sharing of great love lifted me out of the pit of despair and I was healed.
Feel the pain as He felt the pain and feel His love flow through you as He gives you His abundant love. I know how good it feels to be accepted and love. Jesus accepts and loves me. I must focus on Him. Each person plays in the symphony, they focus on the conductor, I focus on Jesus. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Jesus leads, I follow.
Jesus is my Center. He is my love. He is my all. The sun rises and sets on Him. In loving Jesus with all my heart, all my mind, all my soul, I see His reflection in others. I see the handiwork of the Divine Master. I see the beauty in all He creates.
The devil wants hate - he wants us to think jealous thoughts, envious thoughts. The devil wants us to seek acceptance from the world as our goal, affections from men.
Jesus raises above all this. He gives us a sharing in His life in baptism. He is the source of love. He loves us. Jesus fills all our needs. I need Him. I love Him. I want Him. I must not give into the temptation of satan to take my eyes from Jesus. I do all things for the honor and glory of God. Each person is a person for me to love. I am God's faithful servant. God is my Master. In Him, I move, I live, I breathe. Without God I am nothing. He fills me.
God is my Master, my King, my All. I want to live and dwell in You, my God, then I spread Your light to the world.

Tuesday at Our Lady of the Woods
Before the Tabernacle
Sorrowful Mysteries
The Agony of Our Lord in the Garden
1. R. We are not aware of the great graces that we are given all through the day. The special graces that we are given, the graces that we were given to lead us here this evening. Grace is being outpoured to us from Jesus in the Tabernacle. When we sit here in front of Him and we receive these graces, how do we thank our Beloved Lord for the great gifts that He is giving to us? Great graces to keep us growing more and more in our holiness. How would we be in our lives without all the graces He gives to us? How would we respond to the situation at hand? Do we realize that we are receiving great graces to draw us closer and closer to His Heart? That we are given great graces that help us on our way to holiness. If He withheld these graces, some of these great graces that He has given, how would we respond? Let us take this time to pour out to Him our greatest thanks for the graces He has given to us, that we see how important our faith is to us. Let us thank Jesus and ask Him to give to us in this rosary abundant graces to know, love and serve Him more and more, to give Him great love. For He longs for us to love Him so much! Let us ask for the grace to give Him great love in this rosary.
2. R. Do we realize that Jesus is as present in this room as the day that He knelt in the garden? It is as if we are kneeling in the garden with Him. Jesus ascended into Heaven and He is alive this day. God dwells in the graced baptized soul and we live in this world. We are commissioned in Baptism to carry out His life, death and resurrection in our lives. In this rosary let us feel as Jesus felt in His Heart and as Mary felt in her heart. Let us help this rosary live in our hearts that we will remember His passion and that as we go through all of our trials, all through the day that we will identify with Jesus in our lives. I identify with the life of Jesus in His sufferings. For all He allows us to experience is for a purpose.
3. R. Be with Jesus in the garden. Feel as He felt to know in His Divine knowing all of the sins of all men for all time. Be there with Jesus. Think the thoughts of Jesus. Feel the anguish in your heart. Feel buckled over with pain. To love, love so deeply. Think of how it is when you love, love someone so deeply and they ignore you and forget you and reject you, someone you love so much and how it hurts. Think of Jesus, be with Jesus. So close to Him that you feel with His Heart, know His sufferings, to be rejected and ignored by someone you love.
4. R. The greatest agony is to love someone so much and to be ignored by them. It's the one that you love so much that hurts our hearts so much. We cannot even comprehend the depth of the love that Jesus has for us and for our souls. His pain was so agonizing that He sweat blood. Let us identify our rejections and indifferences in our lives with Jesus. We suffer through the day, little rejections, big rejections. Identify with Jesus. Whatever it is, let us identify it with the sufferings that Jesus experienced in the garden. When people treat us with cruelty we are offended and hurt. Let us identify with Jesus in the garden for He has commissioned us through Baptism to carry out His life, death and resurrection in our lives. Everything that we do, we should identify with Him.
5. R. As Jesus knew all of the sufferings about to occur, Jesus knew all of the men that would reject Him. All of the endless hours that He would remain in the Tabernacle, all of the cruelty and hatred of all men. Jesus knew all things in His Divine knowing. Jesus knew too, all of the love that would be given to Him. Think of how it is to be hurt so deeply in your heart. To love someone so much and to feel alone and neglected. Think of how Jesus wants us to share love. Jesus was suffering such anguish in the garden and He knew our love, the love that we are outpouring in this rosary, as He knew the sins that are going on at this very moment and He suffered for all of the sins in this world at this very moment. Jesus was comforted by the love that we are giving to Him in this room. It is as it is with us, being deep in pain and then being comforted. How it eases the pain. How I hear Jesus call out over and over again, "Comfort My Heart with your love. Tell Me of your love." One time when I was in church I asked Jesus what He was thinking about when He was scourged at the pillar? He said He was thinking of me sitting in the pew and telling Him how much I loved Him. Jesus wants us to give Him our love. It is such comfort to Him, to His Heart.
6. Jesus: Comfort My Heart My beloved people. Comfort My Heart with your words of love. I long to hear the words from your heart, the words that tell Me how deeply you love Me.
7. R. You do not comprehend even a minute amount the enormous amount of suffering that Jesus went through. Think of the deepest, deepest, deepest sufferings that you have experienced in your heart of being abandoned and forgotten of feeling alone. Think of that time when you were in the greatest anguish and identify it with the sufferings that Jesus suffered in the garden.
8. R. These rosary meditations are given to us that His life will live more in our lives. Let us feel as Jesus felt in the garden. For He experienced human emotions. He experienced such agony that His sweat became as great drops of blood on the ground.
9. R. Buckled over with pain and anguish, how the sweet words of our love were such sweetness to Jesus. Let us vow in this rosary that all through our day that we will tell Jesus, over and over, how much we love Him. Take little moments and thank Him for the great gift that He has called us to be here this night. The great gift that He has called us to be His apostles, to go out to this world, to spread His love and He is giving to us such graces and we take these graces for granted. If He withdrew some of these graces, from us, we would realize how it is to be in darkness, to not feel as we feel and know Jesus as we know Him. But He is giving to us great graces, special graces, and we need to thank Him.
10. R. Jesus said in the message to Fr. Carter, that He would give great graces to the members of the Shepherds of Christ to draw them ever closer to His Heart and Mary's heart. We thank You so much for the graces given and we love You Jesus and want to comfort Your Heart in Your bitter passion.
Song: I Love You Jesus
The Scourging at the Pillar
1. R. They grabbed Jesus and they led Him away to be scourged. Jesus, His Heart full of Divine love, they led Him away to beat Him.
2. R. Think about being beaten like Jesus. Think about the thoughts in His mind. Know that the next blow will come down and tear your flesh. Feel the anguish to know that many souls, despite all His sufferings would still be condemned forever to the fires of hell.
3. Jesus: I call you My beloved ones to think of the fires of hell, think of the souls, burning for all eternity.
4. R. A few years in this life, a few years - think of the loss of our souls for all eternity to not be able to know God. The greatest pain of all, the greatest suffering to not be able to know God. What is your greatest agony that you have experienced, the greatest pain in your heart? Think of the souls in hell, to know for all eternity, that they will remain there and never know God. Agony of the heart. Jesus sweat blood, for all men, that they will be able to go to Heaven. Jesus knew, He knew all of the sufferings that He would go through, and He knew that, many souls, would go to hell, despite the great gifts, that He would give them.
5. Song: Amazing Grace
6. R. It is a grace that we have been given, that we have been called here this evening and the grace that we have answered the call. Let us thank Him for the graces that He has given to us. Let us see Him tied to the pillar, His flesh torn, the blood pouring out of His body. Jesus suffered and died for us, that we would receive this grace.
7. R. The price that Jesus paid was so dear. Do we show Him our appreciation? The gift of sharing in His life in baptism, how do we thank Him?
8. R. When I asked Him, "What did He think when You were scourged?" and He said that He thought of me sitting in the pew and telling Him that I loved Him.
9. Song: Amazing Grace
10. R. We do not understand the blindness that we see around us. It causes us great pain because we have been given great graces to know Him. Let us thank God for these great graces that He has given us and with our whole hearts, our whole souls and our whole beings love Him for this is a grace He has given to us.
The Crowning with Thorns
1. R. The Kingdom of God is at hand for there will be an era of peace and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign.
2. R. We are all a family. Let us lift up our hearts to our heavenly Father and join in one heart and one mind in all these prayers for the priests and for the Church, for all of the petitions that we prayed. Let us join with one another and call each other brothers. Let us feel this strong bond in this movement. Let us call our Father, Father, and call to our Mother.
3. R. Thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven. Jesus, Jesus was crowned with a crown of thorns that they pounded into His head. This is the price that He paid. That we would have the great gifts that we are given this day.
4. R. Jesus ascended into Heaven and He left behind the apostles. He calls us to be apostles, to go out and to spread His love to this world. Let us see Jesus with His crown on His head. It is not a crown adorned with gold and jewels. It is a crown of thorns, embedded deeply into His skull and the blood runs down His face and into His eyes. This is the price that He paid. He is calling us to help spread His love so that we can say - Thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in Heaven.
5. R. They mocked Jesus and they spit on Jesus and they called to Jesus, "Hail King of the Jews". Think of how it is when somebody says one little word and how hard it is to let go of that one little word. Jesus experienced all of this rejection, all of these words, spit on His body, from those that He loved. Think of how it would be to be spit on by those you love so dearly and what does He say to us? Our words of love are such comfort to Him in His bitter passion. Let us vow all through the day to silently talk to Jesus and tell Him our love.
6. Jesus: I call you to love God and love one another. The Kingdom of God is at hand. The Kingdom of God is in your hearts. My dear, dear beloved ones, open your heart and let your heart be filled with love. Join in one mind and one heart. Let all others see My light shine, through your eyes and through your face. You are suffering in this world this day. You must stay rooted in Me. Come to Me and I will give you all you need.
7. R. The Kingdom of God is at hand. It is in our hearts. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to sanctify us to purify us. Let us go to the heart of our beloved Mother and ask the Holy Spirit to help clear out all of the debris in our heart, all of the hatred and the anger and the resentment so that our hearts will be empty and ready to be filled with His love.
8. R. Jesus' Heart is surrounded by a crown of thorns. Jesus' Heart is not like the hearts on Valentine's Day. The hearts that look so pretty. Jesus' Heart is surrounded by piercing thorns. The thorns that pierce His Heart so deeply for the indifference and the neglect of the ones He loved. Jesus has called us to a special love relationship with Him and asks us to tell Him all through the day how we really love Him.
9. Song: Crown Him with Many Crowns
10. Jesus: Your acts of love were such sweetness to My Heart all through My bitter passion.
Jesus Carries His Cross
1. Song: Teach Me to Love with Your Heart
R. Feel as Jesus felt as the crowd surrounded Him as they screamed at Him, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" Feel with the Heart of Jesus.
2. R. Jesus, the Almighty God, at any moment Jesus could have stopped all of the torture. But because He loved us so much He withstood all that they gave to Him.
3. R. They put a heavy cross on His back. Jesus accepted willingly. How are we in our life today. How does it feel when the cross bears down and we say "Jesus, this is so heavy. Can you take it away?"
4. Jesus: I call you My beloved ones to carry the cross in your daily lives. In your struggles, to identify every suffering with My suffering. For it is in the suffering that there is abundant life. Accept all that I give to you as a great gift of My love. For in this suffering you will be joined closer and closer to My Heart.
5. R. And He fell to the ground and His chin hit the earth. How many times do we feel ourselves fall so low and think we are alone? If we looked into the eyes of Jesus we would know how truly close He is to us. It is a gift that He gives to us, to share in His sufferings that we will share in His life.
6. R. And Jesus' eyes looked into the eyes of His beloved Mother. Jesus experienced the human emotions, the loneliness, the bitterness, that the men projected at Him. Jesus felt within His Heart such agony, such rejection and He looked into the eyes of His Mother and in that look there was comfort for They shared the suffering. Is this not how it is with us, that when we are suffering so much, someone comes and gives us love that we are comforted. Jesus gives us this comfort today in all of the sufferings that we undergo. Jesus is there with us even when we do not feel close to Him. Jesus is sometimes the closest in that suffering and He wants us to know, that He is with us at every second.
7. R. In the suffering that you are undergoing at this present time, look into the eyes of Jesus and Mary and know Their love. Be one in Their Hearts, dwell in Mary's heart and Jesus' Heart and take that suffering. Adore Jesus and love Him.
8. R. Jesus calls us to love, love of God and love of one another. We are the lights that He is sending into this world in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Look at the world it is covered with darkness. The Father looks down from Heaven above and He sees the earth covered with darkness, but He sees these bright lights and they are against the darkness. These are His beloved children that are one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and as we unite in one heart and pray more and more that more hearts are turned to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the earth will be covered with more lights. And when the Father looks down, the earth will be covered with light, soon, for there will be an era of peace and Mary said at Fatima, "Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary we will not have peace in this world." We are called in this movement to give our hearts to Jesus and Mary, to be one with each other in one mind and one heart, to dwell in the Heart of Jesus and Mary. Feel the power of God, Jesus comforts and loves us. Go to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
9. Song: One Bread, One Body
R. Seek to be united in one body. See yourself united. As members of the body of Christ, we are one body in Him. Jesus is the head and we are the members. Jesus said in a message on June 26th, that until the burning messages of His love are transmitted in the Church that we will continue to have bloodshed in the Church, the slaughter of babies, all of the vile things that are going on this day. We have been called to spread these messages of love as His apostles, to help in the renewal of the Church and the world. Who are we that God has called us and given us a special gift to be His apostle in this Movement.
10. R. He fell to the ground three times on His way, but He got up and was stripped of His garments and nailed to the cross. This is the love that He has for all of His fellow men and Jesus is asking us to carry this message to the world.
Jesus is Crucified and Dies on the Cross
1. Jesus: I gave Myself for love of you. What more do you want?
2. Jesus: I give Myself to you this day in the Holy Eucharist and My beloved ones run from My altar and do such senseless things. The Eucharist this day is being attacked. I am calling out to you to tell all of My real presence in the Eucharist, to tell them of the great gift that they are given. Do not hold back, do not be shy. You are My apostles. Pray to the Holy Spirit to be filled with fearlessness, that you will carry this message out to the world that is suffering. The world needs this medicine for their sick souls.
3. Jesus: This is the mighty medicine for this sick world. The world is in such pain and is suffering. Give My children their medicine.
4. R. Be in the body of Jesus as He hangs from the cross His arms outstretched. Feel the blood run down your body and linger on and on and on. Jesus knew of the souls that would be lost despite all of His suffering and His death. He cries out, He cries out over and over again to reach the world with these messages of His love and this will make a difference to many souls.
5. Jesus: I give to you the mighty medicine, messages hand delivered of My burning love and I ask you to carry these messages out to this world. Many souls will be condemned to the fires of hell and I beg you, I beg you from My Most Sacred Heart to pray for the priests and for the religious. I am Jesus. I am calling out to you My beloved ones from My Heart surrounded with thorns and pierced for love of you.
6. Song: A Song from Jesus
Jesus: Do not give up, do not let up. I am calling to you and satan is pressing so hard on My faithful ones to stop you. You must not give into satan The priests this day need to know of My burning love. They need to know how favored they are. I am calling out to you, My faithful ones to spread the messages of My love to this world, for this is the mighty medicine, My burning love, on fire, for My precious souls.
7. R. How dark are the hearts of men? How cold are their hearts? How do we see this world? Do we look at the television? Do we look at the news? Do we see what Jesus saw as He hung on the cross? His head hanging down, His hands nailed, His feet nailed, covered with blood and He knew of the souls that would be condemned to Hell despite His suffering, and what of His Mother as she stood under the cross and she saw her beloved precious Son, give His life, for love of all men. But so many in their willfulness would refuse the grace given to them and would die a real death, a death of the soul.
8. Jesus: I call out to you to spread the messages of My love to this world. See the souls parading into Hell. See the souls shriveling before your eyes. I am Jesus, you have the Mighty Medicine. I have given to you hand delivered messages of My love and I am begging you to tell this world of My burning love for them. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior. You have been given such graces and I draw you so close to My Heart.
9. R. Be in the heart of Mary as she was under the cross when they laid the lifeless body of her Son in her arms. Feel the love of these Two Hearts for it is the love of these Two Hearts that will strengthen us when we are persecuted and rejected in this world as we spread His love. For the world is not like this. The world has turned godless and God is calling out to us. Mary does not even give messages any more for they were not heeded.
10. Song: I Love You Jesus
Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive and I live in your heart, My beloved ones. I call out to you to be strong soldiers to go into this world and to carry the messages of My love. For the world is suffering and in pain and they need the medicine to help them recover. You are My Apostles. I am giving you abundant graces to carry out this work. Come and pray with Me each day. Each day, come and spend time alone with Me and I will give you all that you need. Look into My eyes and the eyes of My Mother and we will strengthen you on your journey.
Glory Be
R. If Jesus was spit on, if Jesus was rejected, if Jesus was crowned with thorns and He is God, the greatest teacher and prophet that ever walked this earth, why do we think that this day, that when we go out into the world and talk about Jesus that we will not be spit on and persecuted. Life is not life if it is not rooted in Him. The world is sick and He is giving to us great graces to carry this message to the world. Let us pray that we cooperate with these graces. Let us pray to the Holy Spirit to fill us with the fire of God's love. To be fearless soldiers, to go out and to march in the darkness with the light of God shining forth from our hearts. That this world will also walk in the light.

Be humble and kind, not prideful. I am Jesus, you are My beloved apostles. I love you, I love you, I love you.

Life is Like a Symphony
R. Life can be compared to a symphony. The Father is the Creator, the composer. Jesus is the Director. The Father has a plan, each special soul so uniquely created by Him. It is in living according to His Will that we all live in harmony and love. Life is music played for the world.
Each person in the symphony has a unique talent, each has a part to play. Each player must focus on the director - must continually look at him for his cues. All members of the symphony are joined in one spirit, all in one heart and one mind as they surrender to the mind of the conductor. The conductor is reflecting the creation of the composer.
If each part is played to perfection, the music is sweet and harmonious. It is one beautiful piece. Each player reflecting their uniqueness in the piece played, it is more than a piece, it is music - alive - that penetrates the heart and soul of the audience. It portrays a distinct message, it moves the hearts from sadness to joy, from anxiety to peace. All the players working as one, creating the desired effect.
If a player is willful and takes their eyes from the director, the piece has lost its oneness. If many players take their eyes from the conductor, the piece will be ugly, with such disharmony.
Our minds have turned to loud noise and disturbances - this has been accepted in this world. Clamor, Discord, Disobedience. A symphony where all are in discord would wound the ears of those listening. Only when they follow will there be harmony.

The Heart
R. Who can probe the heart and know its ways? Why it acts a certain way, why it chooses this or that? Only the mind of the Lord knows from whence the soul comes and goes. God knows everything. Who are we then to judge the actions of any man - this alone is the Lords.
I saw, like the mind of God, the human heart, and realized it would take a Divine Mind to judge them fairly. I saw a big heart with all its intricacies. Only God could probe this heart.
The heart, ruddy and shredded as a real heart, lots of shreds, and lots of little places for hurts to hide. There are places that need to be lighted and cleansed by His Divine Love.
I see the jealousy, the pride, the wanting for love and acceptance in myself. I know more and more the little places in my heart where flaws have hidden, keeping me from Him.
Lent is a time to bring out the debris and wash it away with His grace and love.
What a Mass: I see how He probes the heart and judges men. Only a Divine Mind could do this.
I see my role in comforting Him with my love now in His Passion. As He suffered so much pain and anguish, I look into His eyes as they holler at Him: "Crucify Him, Crucify Him", and I give Him my love and my kisses.
I look into His eyes when they give Him His cross and I tell Him how I adore Him and love Him. I look into His eyes when He lays on the ground, His chin on the ground, and I give Him my kisses and my love to comfort Him.
I join in the look of His Mother and feel this deep love for Him and share in the most intimate union in this love for Him, for her, union in Their Hearts.
I see His naked, marred body. I kiss Jesus' flesh, Jesus' wounds, Jesus' nail prints. I kiss most tenderly the wound in Jesus' side, the wound from the lance that entered His adorable Heart.
I love my Lord, I adore Him, I give Him my love - imperfect, but oh how sincere it is in all my sin. It is in this comforting love of Him I learn to love Jesus in others. Oh, teach me to love as You loved. I see You, bare flesh, in the arms of Your Mother, lifeless and covered with wounds for my sins - teach me to love as You love us!
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, how pure is Your bountiful love. How sweet the kiss of Your beloved Heart, given to this world and rejected by those You love. Give me the grace to love You with the greatest love that I might comfort Your sweet Heart of endless love.
When I look into the eyes of the suffering, I look into the suffering eyes of Christ. When I see my brother lying on the ground and wounded and I kiss His wounds, I am comforting the wounded Christ. He is alive in this world today. Let us love Him as You love Your brother. As we love one another, so do we love Him. It is Jesus I kiss and Jesus I love, when I comfort and love my brother.
The world is God's world and we are but a speck, but Jesus raises us to such heights and we love in Jesus. We are one body. If one member suffers, the whole body suffers. Whatsoever I do to my brothers, I do to Jesus.
We are all children of the Father. There is no division between us. We are brothers and sisters in Christ. Christ came as our brother. As we love our brother today, we love Christ in the world.
Romans 8: 14-17
All who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God; for what you received was not the spirit of slavery to bring you back into fear; you received the spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out, "Abba, Father!" The Spirit himself joins with our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God. And if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, provided that we share his suffering, so as to share his glory.

Many Graces Will Be Granted
Jesus: My beloved Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, I have called you to a special apostleship, My beloved ones. I am crying out to you from My Eucharistic Heart to pray as you have never prayed before. The power, My dear chosen ones, is in the Eucharist. Your world is in a very serious state. The Church, the pope, the bishops, the priests, the Sisters and Brothers are all in need of tremendous prayer power.
You have been called to the quiet of the tabernacle to take your prayer petitions to My Eucharistic Heart. The renewal of the Church and the world is at hand. From the prayers you pray here, many graces will be granted.
I am calling all in this Movement as well as all others in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to consecrate their hearts to My Heart and the heart of My Mother. All through the day I am calling you, priests, sisters and brothers in the religious life, laity, including children, to give your hearts to Me and to My beloved Mother. As you dwell in Our Hearts you will be one with each other.
Come to Me with your petitions. I am truly present in the tabernacle, no less present than the day I walked the earth. I wait for you to come and to pray for your Church and your world. Many graces will be given there for the priesthood and those in the religious life. I have chosen each priest and sister and brother in the religious life to help spread My love to this world. The highest calling is to be called to the priesthood. The calling I give to My beloved priests, sisters and brothers is a special spousalship to Me. How My Heart is wounded by the priests and sisters and brothers in the religious life who have turned worldly. I, the almighty God, call them to such a deep intimate love affair with Me and they go to the world for their love.
When the religious are fixed in My Heart many will be fed by My burning love.
The world is in a state of urgency. The Church in part has become worldly. The medicine for the hurting world is My burning love. Nothing, nothing will feed the starved soul but the love of God. I am calling you to pray for My holy priests, to pray that all priests come to a state of deep holiness.
I have called you as part of the Shepherds of Christ Movement to join in prayer before Me and to beg for graces for your Church and your world.
The renewal of My Church and My world will be helped greatly through many giving themselves to this movement.
At Fatima My Mother said that, until a sufficient number of faithful are consecrating their hearts to My Heart and the heart of My Mother, there will not be peace in this world.
In the Shepherds of Christ Movement including the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement, I am reaching the priests, sisters and brothers in the religious life, laity, including the children - with this Consecration.
As you dwell in Our hearts you are one with us. As you give yourselves to our Hearts, you are one in our Hearts. These movements will prosper for all are joined in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. You will proceed ahead in one heart and one mind. You will be more joined as a true family, brothers and sisters, living according to the will of your heavenly Father and dwelling in the heart of your heavenly Mother.
Oh, beloved children, in these movements you have been hand-picked and chosen for this mission by Me. I am giving to you such graces to unite more and more deeply to My Heart. You will be one with each other and one with God. As you dwell in My Mother's heart and My Heart, you unite with the Father in the Holy Spirit.
You are especially chosen, my apostles, to help carry My love to this world. As you join in this oneness with Me, I live in you and you in Me and I am alive in this world in a special way through this union.
I have called you to this apostleship, I am guarding your every breath, I am giving you abundant graces to help carry out the plan of the Father. "Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest." (Matt. 11:28)1
Bring the cares of the Church and the world to Me. I am waiting to give you all you need. I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I live this day in the world. I am truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. Come to Me and I will live in you.
I love you, I love you, I love you. I am your beloved Savior, Jesus.
March 8, 1996 - Friday during Lent - Mass 2:10 p. m.
God is Real
R. Everyday this week I have received a special grace when I went to Mass at Fr. Carter's Chapel. Today I realized what was really real is all I believe about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and my heart was filled with immense joy to know clearly the really-real is this. It has been every day as instantly a veil goes up and I see with such insight - through this special grace I receive. Today I knew more and more the reality of heaven. I existed so deeply in God, given such an awareness of this. I knew the love of all 3 Persons of the Trinity. I was overwhelmed with joy at this vision. I see my own wretchedness and how He loves me despite my sinfulness.
I realize from the Tuesday morning Mass how so much is because of His grace. I have been begging Him to not take this special grace from me. I long for His gifts. If I am good it is because of His grace, how wretched I would be if He withdrew His grace. I am totally dependent on Him. I love my Papa so much, I see so clearly the little child, that wants to be His - that wants to be His little dependent child and it gives me such great joy.
Matthew 11:25
At that time Jesus exclaimed, 'I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children.
R. I realized today from the message I received earlier, after early Mass, how God is truly present in the Eucharist. I unite to the Father and Holy Spirit through this great gift of Jesus, who gives Himself to me. I feel the presence of God. I realize the love of each Person of the Trinity, I know God as one. This is reality: God gives Himself to me in the Holy Eucharist. Such joy and love is mine to be given this great gift.

Love is Being in the Embrace of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
R. I was wrapped with sorrow. I felt as if I could not take the pressure and in a moment Jesus outpoured His love to me. I was wrapped in the 2 Hearts, in the love between Jesus and Mary. When They looked into each other's eyes on the way to Calvary, it was a deep comfort in my sorrow and I was comforted as They both were in that moment, when Their eyes met on the way to Calvary.
Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary
R. I realized through what They gave me - sufferings of His agony to His body, and even greater, agonies of His Heart, for all those who would, for all time, abandon Him, neglect Him, hate Him, curse Him, sin against Him, kill and persecute Him when they persecuted their brother. Jesus looked into the eyes of His Mother and knew her great love for Him. This comforted His Heart immediately helping in the excruciating agony. Mary, too, looked into Jesus' beautiful face, looking deeply into Jesus' Heart, as she peered in that instant into His eyes. Mary felt His great love for her and her sorrow was turned to joy to behold the love of His Heart.
This is my goal in life: to forever look into the eyes of the suffering Christ and give Jesus' my love, to see Jesus on the ground, Jesus' chin skinned from the fall, and look into Jesus' eyes and tell Jesus: Oh, Jesus, sweet Jesus, how truly I love Thee with my whole heart, my whole soul and my whole mind. This is what I want to do: to see Jesus, surrounded by those hard-hearted men that Jesus loved so dearly, calling out, "crucify Him, crucify Him." I look into His eyes there and say, sweet Jesus, I love Thee, I love Thee, and to comfort Jesus' bleeding Heart.
This is His delight for us to help make reparation to His Heart and Mary's heart after Communion when we are so intently united to Him, when our prayers have the most power. The Power is in the Eucharist. Praying after Communion is the most powerful time.
God is offended by the sins of men. Mary is blasphemed in her Virginity, her Motherhood, her purity. It is after Communion that we comfort Their Hearts for all of the offenses against the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Mary's Heart is the gateway to Jesus' Heart. Mary's Heart is the key to intense, deep union with God. It is through Mary's Heart we unite with Jesus' Heart and unite to the Father and the Holy Spirit.
I see all through the rosary the interaction between Jesus and Mary, the intimacy between the highest human person and the Divine Person, Jesus. I see the constant union between Mary and her Spouse, the Holy Spirit. I see the union of Mary and the Father. In the rosary, I am swept in the embrace of this love between Mary and Jesus. I know the love of Mary for the Trinity more and more. Mary the singular vessel.
In the rosary I see the interaction of Jesus and Mary's Hearts. I was swept up in this love that I knew existed in the 2 Hearts. This morning before Mass - it was as if I was joined intently to the love of these 2 Hearts and comforted in my deep sorrow. This is what happens in the rosary, the seven sorrows and the stations. I am joined in the embrace of love between Jesus and Mary, between Divinity and humanity, when I join in Their Hearts.
In one instant I was swept from suffering to immense joy by this gift of sharing in the loving embrace of the two Hearts. I want to live in this union. The love and comfort I felt in that glance between Jesus and Mary on the way to Calvary.
All through the rosary, the seven sorrows, and the stations, if I am caught up in that love between the Two Hearts, it is love in action. Divinity unites to humanity in this embrace with the 2 Hearts. Love is interaction. Love between God and man reaches its heights between Jesus and Mary when I am caught in this embrace between Him and her - I am saturated with the greatest love.
I love you with the deepest, deepest love, O Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
March 9, 1996
Pray at Mass
R. We plead to the Father for our souls as we join in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
I see clearly how we unite in this Holy Sacrifice with Jesus and the priest and offer ourselves as a sacrifice to the Father for our sins and the sins of all mankind.
I am indeed so joined to all my brothers. We unite with all the angels and saints, all the souls in purgatory and we beg the Father for mercy for we have offended God.
Until a sufficient number of people have given their hearts to Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in this world. We plead in one mind and one heart at Mass to the Father for mercy. Man has sinned. We beg for grace and mercy.
Jesus gives Himself to us in the Mass. We unite to the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present in the Mass and to help make reparation for the sins of mankind.
Our every act, we unite through the Mass that continues all over the world. This act is most pleasing to the Father. We beg for mercy and for grace for the sins of all men, united to the Masses going on all over the world.
We are sinful. We must unite in our hearts. We unite as a people with loving hearts. We become one in our hearts.
It is through the Heart of Jesus, a Divine Person, and Mary, and her Immaculate Heart, that we unite our hearts and plead to the Father for mercy and grace. I see so clearly this - but cannot write what I have seen with eyes unveiled. We must pray for His grace. It is because we need His grace to see and to know. The world can know Him and He can outpour His grace and grant mercy to us if He wants. It is through His grace the world will know Him and His mercy and love. It is by consecrating our hearts to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart that we can be united in Him. As we dwell in Their Hearts, the treasures of God unfold.
Oh, Heart of Jesus, I find my life in You. You are my refuge and my all.
March 11, 1996 - After Mass 1:30 p. m.
Emptying Ourselves at Mass
R. I saw at Mass how I want to plead to the Father for my sins and the sins of all men. I could see the sinfulness of us, as men, and I wanted to unite in such oneness with Jesus in the Mass and beg, beg the Father for forgiveness and to outpour His grace and mercy on this sinful world.
Our whole act ought to be one of such thankfulness for the gift Jesus has given to us, begging Him to forgive us, His sinful creatures. We unite to the Father, the prayers after the consecration, we unite with the whole world, to the Church and we pray united to God, Through Him, With Him and In Him, and we beg to give ourselves as a sacrifice, to die to selfish ways and give ourselves to help make reparation for our sins and the sins of all.
We beg for mercy. We pray the Our Father and with every word we cry out to our Father with all our heart to outpour His grace and mercy on the world.
The grace and mercy flow through the pierced Heart of Jesus.
We want to help make reparation for our sins and the sins of this sinful race, we must unite with all, through Him, with Him and in Him.
We are emptying ourselves, we give ourselves entirely, deeply pleading with all our hearts. We see the sinfulness of this race - we know we receive this abundant outpouring of His life on our graced baptized soul at Mass. He outpours His grace and mercy. He gives Himself to us in the Eucharist. We are in the deepest union with Him in Communion and we want to help make reparation for the sins of men in this deep union - and to help make reparation to the Heart of Jesus and help make reparation to the Heart of Mary too.
The Father gave us His Son and look how we treat Him! This is the Father's gift to us - we are such ungrateful creatures. We beg at the Lamb of God:
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace.We beg three times - we beg before we receive Him.
Adoration
Petition
Thanksgiving
Satisfaction for SinIn the depth of the pain, I met my Lord. Look at all the sufferings in our lives. It was in the depth I saw His eyes. My heart was united to Him. The intimacy was in the deep, deep moments of pain. Lord have mercy. Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
March 13, 1996
Publish the Mass Book
R. Jesus told me that the Mass Book was important to the Church and the world. Since First Friday, I have felt very strongly that if I don't stay home and do it, I am going to get really sick. I opened this notebook two times today and He said He wants the Mass Book out, more than anything else I may be doing.
The priest must be open and centered in Christ. He is another Christ to us. He is celebrating the Mass, we are united to the Mass, the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally made present. Jesus wants the priests to be so holy, consecrated to His Sacred Heart and Mary's Immaculate Heart.
Jesus wants us loving, praying from our hearts. Every word at Mass should be spoken with a heart that is fervent. A priest is given such a gift to celebrate the Mass.
Every word from the priest should be so heartfelt, united so deeply to Jesus, it should penetrate the souls of those present. We are going through motions. Jesus wants our heartfelt praise, adoration, thanksgiving and sorrow for sins. (our sins and the sins of the world)
This is a Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. What a gift the hands of a priest. He should strive to have a heart more and more like Jesus!! Is the priest's heart so holy for such an honor? Has the priest consecrated his heart to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary?
See Jesus at the Last Supper. Jesus feeds us with Himself. Jesus gives us His Body and Blood at Mass. The sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present at Mass. Love, Jesus emptied Himself.
Does the priest give Himself? Is His Heart open and pure? If we were giving ourselves to the point of death, how would we make the sacrifice? Let us unite and be holy.
Jesus says: This is My Body, take and eat, My beloved ones. This is My Blood, My Blood given up for you.
R. What power when we unite to Jesus and offer ourselves and beg the Father for mercy and grace. I love You Jesus.
Let us see ourselves, behold the cross before us and imagine ourselves in such union with our beloved Jesus. Let my hands hold the pierced feet of my beloved, sweet Jesus and kiss and caress His wounded foot. Let me hold His beautiful hand and kiss and caress each hand, pierced for love of me. Let me kiss the head that bore the wounds from the thorns. Oh, sweet Jesus, wounded for love of me. Lastly, let me kiss, with the most love, the precious wound that leads to His most beauteous Heart, the Heart of greatest love!

Guiding Light
- Reflect on the Word
Guiding Light homily series - Reflect on the Word - Cycle
B The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and
reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal
concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a
sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this
day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We
believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as
priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and
Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our
congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand.

Guiding Light homily series - Steadfast to the Son - Cycle A The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15 | ||
|
Guiding Light - Feed My Soul - Cycle C In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15 |
Guiding Light - Focusing on the Word - Cycle B At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15 |

Guiding Light - The Word Alive in Our Hearts. - Cycle A (partial) Homilies by the Reverend Joe Robinson given at St. Boniface Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is a tremendous honor Fr.
