Mary has requested that the daily message be given each day to the world. It is read nightly at the prayer service from her Image Building in Clearwater, Florida, U.S.A. This is according to her request. All attempts will be made to publish this daily message to the world at 11 p.m. Eastern time, U.S.A. We acknowledge that the final authority regarding these messages rests with the Holy See of Rome.

Rita Ring will be in Clearwater 

for a live rosary on September 5, 2004.

Mary asked a public gathering on the 5th
 since April 5, 1995.

We have done this since this time. 

Here is how Mary appeared February 5, 2004.

From Jesus

                                    You are asked to come 

                                             on the 5th to Clearwater, Florida. 

                               To pray as I have directed

                                             for reparation to Our Two Hearts, 

                                and beg forgiveness for the sins 

            of the people of this earth 

                                and beg your Heavenly Father for mercy. 

                                             I am Jesus Chief Shepherd of the Flock.

                                I appear to you in Clearwater, Florida.

                                             You must pray as never before. 

                                This is a warning and a gift I give to you.

                                             Listen to Me.

 Rita will be there through the weekend to sign books.

God wants us to pray as He has asked us 

to pray begging for mercy 

and that the world will be the way 

that He desires. Jesus gives us His face.

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima & Medjugorje

by Father Carter, S.J.

    More than 30,000 people were present in September, and saw a shower of mysterious white petals fall to within 10 feet of the ground before dissolving into the air. Many also saw the globe of light bearing the Lady come to rest atop the tree, and the branches bend as though someone were standing on them. Later, they saw the cloud depart into the east, from whence it had come.⁽¹⁶⁾

August 14, 2004

Talk in afternoon of the retreat
transcribed from a live tape

Messenger:  Dear God the Father 
                        in the Name of Your Son Jesus in the Holy Spirit 
                        we thank You for the gift that You have given to us 
                        and in hearing our prayers. Amen.

                    We want to create the atmosphere, dear God,
                        of that Holy Saturday Vigil Service.

                    We want to focus on God as the light 
                        in the dark night.
                    God comes to us the Light of the world.

                    We want to think about the barrenness 
                        that we have talked about
                        and how in the barrenness 
                        of Sarah and of Elizabeth
                        great fruit came forth.
                    We want to think about the Power of God.

                    These two days of the retreat are to be spent in the following way --
                        today we are to focus on the Passion 
                        and the sufferings of Jesus Christ
                        and also the great gift that God has given to us
                        in the resurrection.

Sing: Come Holy Spirit

Messenger:  Let us focus on the site
                        and the gift that God gave to us there
                        to allow the Virgin Mary to appear there
                        in radiant beauty adorned as a rainbow.

                    Let us remember the covenant that God made 
                        to all of us,
                        the covenant He made, 
                        the sign of the rainbow.

night of the hurricane
August 13, 2004

July 5, 2000

Messenger:  Let us remember the storms at the time of Noah,
                        the storm that flooded the earth,
                        that wiped the life from the earth
                        and God promised 
                        never again to destroy the earth that way.

                    God gave us the rainbow.
                    God gave us a sign.
                    God gives to us today this covenant.
                    He gives to us the sign of His love.
                    He gives to us the Holy Eucharist.
                    He gives to us our Church and the priests.

                    And how do we treat the Church 
                        and the priests 
                        and the Eucharist?

                    How do we treat the gifts 
                        that God has given to us?

Messenger:  Today we come to You God,
                        we come to You and we ask for light
                        that we will see more clearly as never before,
                        that we will be enlightened,
                        that we will be filled with joy within our hearts,
                        that we will identify in the suffering of Jesus
                        and how He loves us and gives Himself to us.

                    She appeared to me for 500 times
                        as the Sorrowful Mother
                        and also the Lady of Light
                        for Mary stood beneath the cross 
                        in such sorrow.

Messenger:  Sorrow for her children that would be lost forever
                        but she appeared in brilliant light
                        for it is a light that God has given to us in this Movement,
                        a light to help lead the souls
                        in the reign of His Sacred Heart.

                    And on that Holy Saturday Night
                        let us think of the great beauty
                        of the liturgy of that night.

From Holy Saturday Night Readings

Gn 1.1-2.2

Gn 22: 1-18

Ex 14:15 - 15:1

Is 54: 5-14

Sing:  Come to the Water

Ez 36: 16-17, 18-28

Rom 6: 3-11

Mt 28: 1-10

Messenger:  Dear God please grant us grace to understand Your words.

                    I am going to sing a song
                    and then after I sing this song we will do the commitment,
                    and the commitment will be carried out this way.
                    Each one of us will come up and read a station
                    and the rest of the people that are able
                    will go around the church to do the stations.
                    We have to just keep taking turns.
                    When we come up we read the commitment
                    and then we read the stations
                    which are the messages that Jesus gave in those stations to us.
                    So we'll all go around the church
                    and genuflect when we say that Jesus loves us
                    and the other ones will just come up one at a time
                    and do the station
                    but first I'm going to sing a song.  

Song:  All I ask of You    

Messenger:  All those people that are in our hearts
                         are still in our hearts today.

                     Whether we see them or not
                         it's the love that we have in our hearts
                         for them that counts.    

Song:  Be Not Afraid

Song:  Under the Weight of the Wood   

Song:  Cry of the Poor

Song:  Pardon Your People  

Messenger:  What we need for this exercise that Our Lord wants us to do
                         is a Red Rosary Book
                         and to open it up to the Stations of the Cross
                         that He has given to us
                         and our card of commitment.

Song:  A Song From Jesus

Messenger:  Does everybody have a card of commitment?

                    Dear God, we know that You are the Lamb
                        that was slaughtered for our sins
                        and we come to You
                        to make this Way of the Cross
                        as You have asked.

                    We ask that You outpour Your mercy on the earth.
                    We ask that the world be the way that You want it to be.
                    We ask for forgiveness for what has happened in Clearwater
                        that they have ignored your Mother's image.
                    And dear God we're sorry that they have ignored
                        the image there now.

                    Dear God please forgive us
                        and in Your mercy, 
                        help us to be able to do 
                        all that you want us to do in this Movement.
                    We beg You for the grace to have the funds
                        to be able to do this stuff with the priestly newsletter,
                        the rosary program,
                        the nursing homes,
                        the prayer chapters,
                        that Clearwater will be a big shrine
                        after the shake-up on that side
                        that people will realize that You are really speaking through that place
                        and come and pray there
                        to help make reparation for the offenses against God.

                    And in Your mercy,
                        if You can give us another vision of Mary,
                        we would like it,
                        but we appreciate the fact that Mary appeared all that time.

                    We're sorry for our sins and the sins of the people of this earth.
                    We're sorry for all that has gone on since the time of Adam
                        and we want to help make reparation through our prayers here.
                    Dear God please help us and help the newsletter to go out right away.
                    Dear God please hear our prayer. Amen.

                    As we walk the Cross with Jesus let us show Him our love.

                    I remember getting these from Jesus.
                    I cried so hard to hear Jesus say these things.
                    So as we read them lets think of Jesus saying these words to us.
                    And lets outpour our love.

      

 

Commitments made between Stations

  

  

  

 

Stations of the Cross

February 22, 1995

     
  

The First Station
JESUS IS CONDEMNED TO DEATH

Jesus: My dear child, with angry hearts and hatred on their faces, they poked at Me and condemned Me to death. I stood so silent, My hands tied, in perfect peace, because I knew the Father's love. I knew the Father's Will. You too will stand your trials in perfect peace, the more you realize the immense love the Father, Son and Holy Spirit have for you. Pray to the Spirit to transform you more and more into My image and, through this transformation, you will be led ever closer to the Father. Oh, how I love you!

   

  

The Second Station
THEY GIVE JESUS THE CROSS

Jesus:  They gave Me a heavy cross, laden with the sins of the world. They placed it on My shoulder. It was so heavy I felt as if My shoulder would break. I ask you to carry little crosses, to experience little pains. I could not remove this cross from My shoulder. The weight was unbearable. It is through My suffering and death that you receive new life. It is through your sufferings this day that you will grow in your life with Me. Oh, child, I loved you so much that I took up the cross of salvation. I love you. Please realize that I am talking to you here. To My death I loved you. Oh, how I love you!

 

   

The Third Station
JESUS FALLS THE FIRST TIME

Jesus:  The cross was so heavy I could hardly walk. I held on to My cross for greatest love of you and in compliance with the Will of My Father. It became so hard to walk! The cross was so heavy! I fell. I fell and the cross fell on Me. They poked at Me, they struck Me, they demanded I get up. The pain from the instruments they used to poke Me and strike Me was so great! I somehow managed to get up.

When you fall under the weight of your cross, come to My Eucharistic Heart. I am no less present in the tabernacle and in the Eucharist than on the day I carried My cross. I wait with the same love that I had for you when I carried this cross and suffered such agony. Oh, how I love you!

   

    

The Fourth Station
JESUS AND MARY MEET

Jesus:  I saw the face of My beautiful Mother. She was weak, her face reddened and full of tears. I saw her tender heart, her love, her anguish, her pain. I saw My dear Mother Mary. My Heart was comforted by the sight of her, but torn by her suffering.

Mary:  As I looked into the eyes of my beloved Son, I saw His love. His head, bleeding and wounded. His body weak. His clothes covered with blood. I looked into His eyes and I saw His love for you. I call out to you today. I appear today with a face full of anguish and tears. I appear to call you back to the love of my Son. See through my eyes, as I peer into His eyes, the love He has for you this day to give of Himself for you. Oh, He loves you so much, my little children. See through my eyes the love of my Son. Oh, how He loves you!

   

   

The Fifth Station
SIMON OF CYRENE IS FORCED
TO HELP JESUS CARRY HIS CROSS

Jesus:  The cross was so heavy I could not move. My persecutors became angry and forced a man to help Me. The cross was so heavy the two of us could barely move it. How is your cross today? Does it seem so heavy you cannot go on? I am forever watching you. When you are suffering the greatest, I am very close to you. It is in immense suffering that you realize My great love for you. Pray for grace to do always the Father's Will. Pray for grace to grow in your knowledge and love of Me.

  

   

The Sixth Station
VERONICA WIPES THE FACE OF JESUS

Jesus:  My face was covered with blood. From the crowd Veronica came forward with a cloth to wipe My face. On the cloth I gave to you an imprint of My bloodied face. This, My children, remains with you this day as a sign of My immense love for you. But more than any cloth, look beyond the visible consecrated host. I, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, remain with you, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the Eucharist this day, waiting and longing to be with you. Oh, how I love you!

   

  

The Seventh Station
JESUS FALLS THE SECOND TIME

Jesus:  Oh, dear ones, the road became harder and harder to walk. The cross was becoming heavier, My body weaker and weaker. My shoulders and arms hurt so much! My head throbbed as I walked. The blood came from My body, from My head to My feet. I was covered with open wounds. I could not go any farther. I stumbled and fell. Again they poked at Me, only harder, and with such hatred they kicked Me. Such vileness in the hearts of men! My greatest agony was not the agonies of My body, but the agonies of My heart for the love I have for all My precious souls. I loved them so dearly. I loved those who persecuted Me. Oh, how I love you!

  

  

The Eighth Station
JESUS MEETS THE WOMEN OF JERUSALEM

Jesus: The women came to Me with their children, their tender hearts crying and wanting to comfort Me. I saw their love, their care. I saw the coldness of men's hearts for all time, the hatred, the anger, the sins, all the souls that, despite all of My sufferings and death, would be condemned to eternal damnation. I told the women to weep not for Me, but for themselves and their children. My greatest agonies were the agonies of My Most Sacred Heart. Oh, how I love you!

  

  

The Ninth Station
JESUS FALLS THE THIRD TIME

Jesus:  I fell hard the third time. I was so weakened I could not go on. My body collapsed under the cross from such exhaustion! My child, My child, My greatest agonies were not the wounds to the body. They were the wounds I experienced to My heart. Do you know a little more now how I love you? It is in meditating on My Passion and death that you will realize My immense love for you. When you fall, when you struggle, I give you the grace to get up. I never give you more than you can handle. Your strength will come from Me. Come to My Eucharistic Heart. I am waiting for you this day. Oh, how I love you!

   

   

The Tenth Station
JESUS IS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS

Jesus:  They took Me to the hill to crucify Me. They angrily stripped Me of My garments. They took off My clothes to whip Me. They had covered My bloody wounds with a dirty purple robe. Now, total surrender-they took off My clothes. I showed you the way to surrender, always complying with the Will of the Father. It is in living in His Will that you will have peace and joy, and life eternal some day. Oh, how I love you!

  

  

The Eleventh Station
THEY NAIL JESUS TO THE CROSS

Messenger:  See Mary as she holds the little Baby Jesus. See her as she washes His tender hands and feet. See her now as she watches as they pound into those same hands and feet the gigantic nails that fix Jesus to the cross.

Mary:  Oh, my dear ones, my heart was torn in my chest as they nailed His hands and feet to the cross. I ask you this day to walk the Passion with me and see through my eyes the love He has for you. He truly was nailed to the cross.

Jesus:  They pounded the nails into My first hand, then they stretched My body and nailed My other hand. The blood poured from these wounds that went totally through My hands. My pain was so immense, but then they nailed My feet! You do not know what pain I suffered, My child. My children, My children, for each one of you I suffered this pain. Oh, how I loved you!

  

  

The Twelfth Station
JESUS DIES ON THE CROSS

(Silence.)

Messenger:  He hung for three agonizing hours on the cross against the darkened sky. His greatest agonies were not the agonies of His body, but those of His Heart for the great love He has for each and every soul.

Jesus:  I gave Myself to you, My dear ones. I gave My all. I hung with My arms spread in total surrender. My head was punctured; My hands and feet were nailed to the cross. I gave Myself to you. I give Myself to you this day in the Eucharist. I give Myself to you. I, God, give you Myself! What more do you want?

Song: Oh, burning Heart, oh, Love divine, etc.

Messenger:  They pierced His Heart with a lance and what flowed forth was blood and water, the sacramental life of the Church, water for Baptism and blood for the Eucharist. His life, death and resurrection live on in the Church this day.

  

   

The Thirteenth Station
JESUS IS TAKEN DOWN FROM THE CROSS
AND PLACED IN THE ARMS OF HIS MOTHER

Messenger:  His totally lifeless body was placed in the arms of His most loving Mother. As she had held the little baby body in her arms, she now received His bloodied, bruised body in her arms. This is how He obeyed the Father's Will. Jesus gave His life for us. The Father gave His only Son because He loves us so much. Mary, His Mother, our Mother and the Mother of the Church, is forever by His side. See Jesus in the arms of His loving Mother under the cross. This is love.

Mary:  I held His lifeless body in my arms. See through my eyes the love He has for you this day. He gives Himself to you today in the Eucharist. He loves you so much!

  

  

The Fourteenth Station
JESUS IS LOCKED IN THE TOMB

Messenger:  His enemies rolled the stone up to the tomb and were pleased to have buried Jesus. Mary, outside the tomb, wept bitterly. The cold reality that He was dead! But death has no power over Jesus for on the third day He rose, triumphant, from the tomb! We are partakers in His divine life. Death has no power over Jesus. He is with us this day. He comes to bring us life to the full. He loves us so much!

Excerpt from Priestly Newsletter

Humility

Humility is a very important virtue given to us for the spiritual journey.

Humility is both the realization of what we are as creatures of God and the concrete implementation of this realization in our Christian lives. Humility, therefore, is not an exercise in self-depreciation; it is not telling yourself that you are no good, that you really have nothing of any significance to contribute to the service of God. Humility is based on truth. It is compatible with the recognition that God has given a person certain gifts, even great gifts, of nature and grace. If we do not recognize our God-given gifts, we do not thank God for them as we should, nor properly develop these gifts according to His will. God wants us not only to recognize the good that is in us, but also to realize the source of this goodness. Although we have a responsibility to cooperate with His graces, God is the One Who is chiefly responsible for what we are. If one person has advanced to a level in the Christian life that is beyond the level of another, it is ultimately because God has given that person greater graces.

If humility is based on truth and, consequently, allows us to properly recognize our gifts, it also necessitates that we admit to the evil within us, which is also part of the truth and must be acted upon. Humility not only bids us to admit that there is evil in us, but also tells us that, as creatures of God, we should conform to His will and work against this evil side of our persons. In summary, humility allows us to properly evaluate both the good and evil within ourselves.

Here is a quotation from St. Paul which helps us to preserve, and grow in, humility: Who made you so important? What have you got that was not given to you? And if it was given to you, why are you boasting as though it were your own? (1 Cor 4:7).

And in the Letter of James we read: Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will lift you up. (Jm 4:10)
