Messenger: The prophets of the
past may have seen
visions of another place where he was not.
We are to obey God's laws.
Ezekiel 34: 11-16
“For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I
myself shall take care of my flock and look after it. As a shepherd looks
after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after
my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the
day of clouds and darkness. I shall bring them back from the peoples where
they are; I shall gather them back from the countries and bring them back to
their own land. I shall pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the
ravines and in all the inhabited parts of the country. I shall feed them in
good pasturage; the highest mountains of Israel will be their grazing
ground. There they will rest in good grazing grounds; they will browse in
rich pastures on the mountains of Israel. I myself shall pasture my sheep, I
myself shall give them rest–declares the Lord Yahweh. I shall look for the
lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and make the sick
strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd
to them."
August 16, 2006 message continues
Messenger:
God is born in a stable amongst the shepherds,
Jesus the chief shepherd of the Flock.
Luke 2: 8-20
In the countryside close by there were shepherds out in the fields
keeping guard over their sheep during the watches of the night. An angel
of the Lord stood over them and the glory of the Lord shone round them.
They were terrified, but the angel said, ‘Do not be afraid. Look, I bring
you news of great joy, a joy to be shared by the whole people. Today in
the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.
And here is a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling
clothes and lying in a manger.’ And all at once with the angel there was a
great throng of the hosts of heaven, praising God with the words:
Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace for those he favours.
Now it happened that when the angels had gone from them
into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, 'Let us go to Bethlehem
and see this event which the Lord has made known to us.' So they hurried
away and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. When
they saw the child they repeated what they had been told about him, and
everyone who heard it was astonished at what the shepherds said to them.
As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her
heart. And the shepherds went back glorifying and praising God for all
they had heard and seen, just as they had been told.
John 10: 11-15
I am the good shepherd:
the good shepherd lays down his life
for his sheep.
The hired man,
since he is not the shepherd
and the sheep do not belong to him,
abandons the sheep
as soon as he sees a wolf coming,
and runs away,
and then the wolf attacks
and scatters the sheep;
he runs away
because he is only a hired man
and has no concern for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd;
I know my own
and my own know me,
just as the Father knows me
and I know the Father;
and I lay down my life for my sheep.

a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special
love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most
important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give
myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of
God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!
3. Act of consecration to the

most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ
Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument
for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give
myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus
perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate
you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that,
through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union
with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

Holy Spirit Prayer
Come,
Holy Spirit, almighty Sanctifier, God of love, who filled the Virgin Mary
with grace, who wonderfully changed the hearts of the apostles, who endowed
all Your martyrs with miraculous courage, come and sanctify us. Enlighten
our minds, strengthen our wills, purify our consciences, rectify our
judgment, set our hearts on fire, and preserve us from the misfortunes of
resisting Your inspirations. Amen.
5. The Holy Spirit
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the
Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people
must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit
desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who
are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He
performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells
in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit.
The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our
Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed
after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell
My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation
of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart
will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater
measure! I love and bless My people!"
Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever
more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus,
the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy
Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each
day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother,
the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of
the Holy Spirit within us.

The Magnificat
And Mary said:
My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
from their thrones
and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
of Israel his servant,
mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
and to his descendants for ever.

Revelation 4: 1-6
Then, in my vision, I saw a door open in heaven and heard the
same voice speaking to me, the voice like a trumpet, saying, ‘Come
up here: I will show you what is to take place in the
future.’ With that, I fell into ecstasy and I saw a throne standing
in heaven, and the One who was sitting on the throne,
and the One sitting there looked like a diamond and a ruby. There
was a rainbow encircling the throne, and this looked like an
emerald. Round the throne in a circle were twenty-four thrones, and
on them twenty-four elders sitting, dressed in white robes with
golden crowns on their heads. Flashes of lightning were coming from
the throne, and the sound of peals of thunder, and in front of the
throne there were seven flaming lamps burning, the seven Spirits of
God. In front of the throne was a sea as transparent as crystal.
In the middle of the throne and around it were four living
creatures all studded with eyes, in front and behind.
Messenger: Some time between Ascension Thursday, May 21,
1998 and Pentecost, May 31, 1998.
I
saw a vision of an open door, the light within it resembled the
light of the vision of March 26, 1996 that can be found in the
Apostles Manual (p. 34-36).
The open door was glistening with this reflective golden color
mirror-like light. I cannot describe, as I could not describe
concerning the 3 main visions, the first being March 26, 1996.
The closest light I can describe to this is the sun reflecting on
the water at Tom's Farm but this too leaves an emptiness to its
description.
There was a little white sheep at the bottom of the open,
glistening door and the little sheep hobbled over a small threshold
and went in.
The door was rounded on the top, no corners, like a semi-circle
on the top, and the wall surrounding this door was black. The light
I describe was within this door and peered out to me in the vision.
I heard our Lord over and over again cry out during this period,
"Come out of your tombs, dead, dead, dead, you are dead."
I heard the words similar to the message of May 21, 1998.
I was walled in on all sides – BARS – a prison of my own making.
I turned and there was a wall missing and I gaily walked into the
free night and the sun followed me as I walked.
I hear Jesus speak: "I am the gateway that leads to freedom."
I know the sea of glass from the vision of March 26, 1996. I know
the open door from the vision.
I know the Power, I know the Intimate Burning Heart of Jesus in
the Mass.

(Apostles Manual pg. 418 - 421)
I Am Alive!
Messenger: 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 speaks: 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 gravely 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 embers of My Most Sacred Heart, through My Mother's heart.
Messenger: 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.
Jesus speaks: 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.
Messenger: 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.
end of May 25, 1995 message
January 2, 1997
"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit, Amen."
"The grace of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."
God pours out His grace in this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is
the greatest gift when God gives Himself to us.
We share with God His life, given to us abundantly in the Mass.
He gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him. The great
love affair between God and man: His Holy Mass.
The priest is another Christ to us. It is Christ present, through
the priest, celebrating the Mass. We must see Christ in the priest,
see Him celebrate the Mass, see His beautiful brown hair, His gentle
face, see Him, our Savior. This Jesus Christ that came was born an
infant and gave Himself to His death on the cross that we would
share His life. See Him now in the Mass, giving Himself in the
greatest gift of all. He gives us His divine love and His divine
life.
Oh, we thank You for Your life. We know Jesus died and rose and
gave us a sharing in His holy life. His life is now abundantly
poured, as a fountain to us, especially in the Mass.
Then we hear His word. Let the word of God penetrate our being.
Let us feel this Living Word of God. As a two-edged sword, it comes
forth with such conviction and love and it penetrates the souls of
the faithful with such love. It is food indeed, food for our soul.
He is the Good Shepherd. He speaks to us. He gives us all we
want. "Yahweh is my shepherd, I lack nothing." (Ps. 23:1)
He gives us green pastures, and His water pours out and refreshes
us. He outpours His grace as a fountain to feed us with His life.
He is a just God, good and kind, all loving, for He is Love. We
want for nothing for He outpours His love and His life to us in the
Mass. We feast on His Body and Blood and are fed with His Word. We
become one in Him and He shares Himself with us.
It is through the Mass celebrated by the hands of a holy priest
that we will experience the Mass the way Christ intends. These
writings are insights which hopefully will help lead you to the
spring of life-giving water, the fountain of love and life He
outpours in the Mass.
There will be a new earth when men will see with the light of
seven suns. They will know God. A people walking in darkness will
see a great light. They will no longer be blind, they will be
enlightened, they will love God with the greatest love in the Mass.
They will feast on His Body and Blood and will be united as one body
in His holy Church through His life given to us in the Eucharist.
We will drink copiously from the fountain of grace which He pours
out in the Mass. We will be filled with His love, absorbed with the
love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and feasting on His divine
life.
We see with the vision of God. We partake in such a union with
God. We see with the light the Spirit gives to us. The priest
celebrates the Mass and we know God with such an intense knowing in
this union. We are saturated with His life flowing from the hands of
His consecrated priest.
And I look at Him, the priest, and I see Jesus there. I see Him
giving Himself to Me. I see the new and Holy City. I see with such
clarity the great gift that God gives to us in the Mass!
We learn how to love in the Mass, for we unite to God. He gives
us such an intimate sharing in His divine love that we carry His
love out to the world. In this union we know His loving to an
intense degree and we carry this love out to others. We share in an
intense way in His divine act of loving. He, Who is love, gives
Himself to us and we are absorbed in His love and we know intensely
how God loves. We are filled with love for God and for each other,
for, in the oneness He is loving through us. He gives us lights into
His loving capacity and we know His loving power in an intensity we
did not know before.
We then pray. We offer up our intentions for this Mass. It is now
we who intercede to Him to outpour His grace on us and help us with
these intentions.
We pray for this reign of peace when the Sacred Heart of Jesus
will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and men
will fervently love and adore God with burning love. We pray for all
souls and the Church and we beg for His help, His love, His grace.
We offer ourselves as a sacrifice. We offer the bread that will
become the bread of life.
The priest mixes the water and the wine and we realize how His
Divinity mixes with our humanity.
We offer the wine that will become our spiritual drink-His blood.
I give myself to Him and I beg to be cleansed of my sins with the
washing of the hands.
"May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise
and glory of His name, for our good and the good of all His Church."
We ask Him to accept the gifts we want to give Him, we give Him
thanks, we lift up our hearts in thanks and praise and we sing out:
"Holy, Holy God, of power and might…" we sing Him praise and
thank Him-oh, God we love Thee so much."
My heart is so filled with such awe. I cry because I love Him so
much.
Every word in the Mass, I love. The priest consecrates the host
and changes it into the Body and Blood of Christ.
Oh, it makes me cry for I am so struck with awe at what happens
at the Consecration. I unite in the oneness with the priest, with
Christ and with all present, with heaven and earth. I am one in that
moment, united in the sacrifice of Christ giving Himself to the
Father.
This is the moment when I unite in such oneness with Christ in
the purity of Mary's heart. I give myself as a sacrifice. I offer
myself to the Father.
The Father looks down and He sees us united to His Son's
Sacrifice. It is in this oneness that His grace is outpoured on us,
that we die to that which is not like Him and that the Holy Spirit
works in the heart of Mary and fills us with His life.
I am in ecstasy as I realize more and more the great gift of love
that God gives us in His holy Mass. I am taken to such heights,
being wrapped in the presence of God. It is rapture, this Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass.
It is a great gift, experiencing this intense presence of the
Almighty God: Through Him, With Him, and In Him.
We pray to the Father the prayer as Jesus taught us and beg, "thy
Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
We pray: "For the Kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now
and forever."
We beg for peace in our hearts. We share this peace with one
another. Then we beg of the Lamb of God. I want to get down to the
ground and beg for His grace, mercy and forgiveness for our sins.
Please, God, I see us as a sinful people. I want the grace and
mercy to flow abundantly.
He raises the Host and says: "This is the Lamb of God Who takes
away the sins of the world, happy are those who are called to His
supper."
We respond: "Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say
the word and I shall be healed."
I receive the Almighty God in Communion. All I want is Him. Oh,
God, I want you, I adore you, I worship you, I love you.
Oh, for this moment when God gives Himself to me. Oh, God, words
do not express this time-this intense presence of You within my
being. Oh, sweet Savior, I love You!
You share Yourself so intimately with me. You imprint on my soul
a knowing of Your Divine Being that is so intimate in this Communion
when You give Yourself to me.
Oh, let our hearts be open to His grace that we may know this
great gift more, that we will partake more fully in this greatest
act of love with Divinity.
He shares Himself with us, the Almighty God, in such oneness.
This is the greatest way to bind us with each other, to unite with
each other in the Mass and Communion.
And so I sing the love of God, the love of His Mass. I beg you to
pray for the grace that He can teach you in these writings about His
most intimate love affair with man, the gift of Himself-the gift He
gives us in the Mass.
The Holy Sacrifice, the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally-made-present
in the Mass when He gives Himself to us with the greatest love!
And what does He ask in return? He asks that we love one another,
that we give Him the glory, the thanksgiving, the adoration that is
His due as the Almighty God.
He sends us forth with His blessing to share His most intimate
love with all. We go forth as other Christs in the world. For He is
alive this day and He lives in us and He gives His love to others
through us. We act as channels of His life to one another.
The Mass is the richest source of His life. His life flows
through the body, the Church, especially through the Sacraments and
the Mass.
Oh Jesus, from the fountain of life that pours forth from Your
pierced Heart, give us holy priests whose hearts are consecrated to
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to celebrate the Mass-that there is
such oneness between the priest and Christ that His grace will flow
copiously.
We thirst for the fountain of life pouring forth from the pierced
Heart of Christ. It is His life we seek and find in the Church. It
is His love we want and we experience the greatest love affair with
God in the Mass.
These books on the Mass are accounts of my intimate love affair
with our Almighty God. Many experiences were enlightenments I
received in the Mass.
I strongly advise all to pray, to say the Holy Spirit Prayer, the
Consecration Prayers, and the Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of
the Mass, before Mass. (These prayers follow this message).
This book is the journey into the red room, the inner chamber of
the Sacred Heart of Jesus, through the gateway, the pure and
Immaculate Heart of His Mother.
It is in the Mass we give ourselves in such love to our Holy God.
He gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him.
