Dear Brothers in the Priesthood,Excerpt from "Behold, your Mother" Holy Thursday Letter
Encyclical by Pope John Paul II
Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary: you
truly suffered and were immolated on the cross for
man.
Yes, the same Body! When we celebrate the Eucharist,
through our priestly ministry there is made present the mystery
of the Incarnate Word, the Son who is of one being with
the Father, who as a man "born of woman" is the Son of the
Virgin Mary.

18 Years Ago
On His Passion - August 23, 1993
Jesus: My dear child,
I was condemned to death, death on a cross. They gave Me a big cross and made Me carry it. They stood around and glared at Me. It weighed on My shoulder and I pulled at it until it finally moved. Every step was almost impossible as I dragged it, weighing so heavily on My shoulders.My shoulder felt as if the bones inside would crack and the cross would fall through to the ground. I couldnt drag it any more. I tried, I fell. I fell and its weight fell on Me. A guard hit Me with something sharp. It really hurt because he wanted Me to move, and fast! People were watchingon with the show! How dare I fall in the middle of the show! He hit Me again and the blow really stung Me. I got up because it hurt so badly. I tried to walk on.
My Mother was in the crowd. She looked at Me and her face looked red and hurt. Tears rolled down her cheeks like rain and as her eyes met Mine, I was hurt so by her sorrow! She was always by My side, silent and loving. She was My mother of love! She is always there next to you when you suffer.
I fell again and he (the guard) really hit Me. It (the cross) was so heavy that he and I together could barely move it. It seemed as I walked, heavier with the sins of the world heaped on it. My hands were bleeding. Blood ran from the wounds of My thorns and My head throbbed, seeming to make the wounds in My head bleed even more. Some of the Blood was dried, some of it running all over My Body. I had so many cuts and bruisesand people watched and laughed!
I am Jesus, Son of the Living God, and they laughed and mimicked Me! Oh, such hardened hearts! How vile can mens heart become? The devils grip is paralyzing and crippling.
The walk was so long up a hill and over rocksthe cross had to be lifted over the rocks. My Body was bleeding so badly! My heart was pounding. I knew that the salvation of all men depended on My love. Therefore, I went through such agony.
I thought of My intense love for youthat many would go to heaven because of My sufferingand I continued to the top of the hill. At the top they laid Me on the cross and with a big hammer nailed My hands to it. It was the worst (suffering) yet. My hands were nailed with big nails and the big hammer. Oh, it was unbelievable! Then, as if that werent enough, with a big nail they nailed through both feet.
Then they lifted the cross and banged it into (a hole in) the ground. My shoulders ached from how I hung. My head bobbed and My neck ached and they laughed and said, "Now save Yourself." I hurt so much! I suffered this way for hourswhich seemed like foreverand they glared at Me and laughed! My Mother watched in such agony.
For love of you, to My death I gave you My Body. My child, I shed My Blood and gave you My life that you might be with Me forever in heavennot for a day, a month or a year, but forever with Me in heaven.
I am the true Bread come down from heaven. He who eats My Flesh will have life forever. For the drink I give you is My Blood and food you eat is My Body. Who would lay down his life for a friend? I did, for you. I love you this much, child. Forget about those who reject you. You have My life that I gave you and I give you life eternal.
I am the One true God. I am the Light of life. He who abides in Me will have life eternal, for the drink I give is My Blood and the food I give is My Body. Drink and eat and have everlasting life.
My child, that is all you need to know. Love one another and be good that you may enter into My kingdom.

Today's Readings
You know yourselves, my brothers, that our visit to you has not been pointless. Although, as you know, we had received rough treatment and insults at Philippi, God gave us the courage to speak his gospel to you fearlessly, in spite of great opposition. Our encouragement to you does not come from any delusion or impure motives or trickery. No, God has approved us to be entrusted with the gospel, and this is how we preach, seeking to please not human beings but God who tests our hearts. Indeed, we have never acted with the thought of flattering anyone, as you know, nor as an excuse for greed, God is our witness; nor have we ever looked for honour from human beings, either from you or anybody else, when we could have imposed ourselves on you with full weight, as apostles of Christ.
Instead, we lived unassumingly among you. Like a mother feeding and looking after her children, we felt so devoted to you, that we would have been happy to share with you not only the gospel of God, but also our own lives, so dear had you become.
Psalm 139: 1-6
Yahweh, you examine me and know me,
you know when I sit, when I rise,
you understand my thoughts from afar.
You watch when I walk or lie down,
you know every detail of my conduct.A word is not yet on my tongue
before you, Yahweh, know all about it.
You fence me in, behind and in front,
you have laid your hand upon me.
Such amazing knowledge is beyond me,
a height to which I cannot attain.
Matthew 23: 23-26
'Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You pay your tithe of mint and dill and cummin and have neglected the weightier matters of the Law-justice, mercy, good faith! These you should have practised, those not neglected.
Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of cup and dish and leave the inside full of extortion and intemperance. Blind Pharisee! Clean the inside of cup and dish first so that it and the outside are both clean.
R. In the first reading
St. Paul was talking to the Thessalonians
not only do they share the
writings to Thessalonians they
share themselves
Whatever is going on in
the early Church, they are part
of it The Thessalonians
believed in God
In the Gospel we have the
7 woes to the Pharisees
and Scribes They had all these
laws and they were attached
to the facade of keeping
these laws
They missed what was important
Many had HARD HEARTS
Many focused on PUTTING ON A GOOD SHOW
on the inside they couldn't care less
Many were condescending
Jesus is challenging them
Because of their hearts
Many are not loving
Many are not loving God
Many are not loving others
This is how it is to be with us
We love God and we love others as ourselves
The law is a way to live
not an external show
but loving God with
more and more holy and
pure hearts
Loving God with our
whole mind, our whole
soul and our whole
being
Hard Hearts bring
Rigid Bodies
Some with such rigidity
frozen in their bodies
frozen in their hearts
Using passive - aggressive
measures because
they provoke others
when they have pain
so others act out their
pain
Because they are 'body
blocked'
They have pain provoke
others, project their
reasons on innocent others why
they have been hurt
then they provoke to get
others to act out their pain
Inside a hard heart
cold - rigid
full of pain
A man prayed and loved his
movements were in the
spirit
one came with pent up
anger, self-righteousness,
full of pain
when anger came up
the wounded man's body was so rigid
he provoked others to
act out his pain
He was frozen,
unyielding,
rooted in deceiving
himself about the
pain filling him
inside
A person, a community, a country,
with pain and rigidity can
aggressively attack others,
to receive relief from
their rigid tension,
pain and blackness
A person who was in war
can be shell-shocked
locked inside, rigid
because of having to
survive attacks
not in touch with themselves
because of what they went
through
A child growing up in a
dysfunctional, abusive,
addictive home can be
shell-shocked because as
children with needs for
love, acceptance, if they
lived in dysfunction homes
parents forced dysfunctional
rules in the home
So they learned survival
tactics to endure this dysfunction
Now they can, in an attempt
to live, work out the raging
child from within who was
neglected, silenced and
not loved as they should
have been
The raging child of within being
forced to endure 'love-hate',
unpredictable, relationships
as a child learning about
life
"damaged goods"
but they think this is normal
they cannot feel in their
rigidity, so they provoke
others to 'feel', for they
are rigid, shut down, and
without life
Shell - shocked
Where some families learn to trust
and love where children
were respected
the wounded children could have been
rejected constantly told
they never did anything right
having great inferiority inside
about their worth from dysfunctional
parents, who learned from
dysfunctional parents how
to live
Sad, angered, addicted,
and or violence
Others should understand my
feelings, an adult may
think, as they use passive-
aggressive measures to
provoke others, until they
get a needed 'reaction'
out of them so they can get
release from their pain
Deaths in the family as a child,
a brother having an accident,
a mother or father having
an accident, can even cause
physical disorders, in
children, or the remaining
spouse
But alcohol, raging, addictions
compulsions to food, sex,
work violating children's
boundaries in different ways
can all be acted out in
adulthood in rigid people,
who may not even remember
the constant abuse, violation
of childhood. They may shut-down
these memories, with a
frozen body, a rigidity in their posture.
They may have a frozen or hardened heart.
They may have lost memories of their youth
or when they were wounded substantially.
They may have raging pain, silent
screams from childhood, never heard,
and so to feel currently
in this less than spontaneous state
they may provoke and abuse others,
to feel or be stimulated for excitement.
They may project their pain on others,
convincing themselves that
others are responsible for
the misery and sadness
deep within them.
This abnormality though
grossly abnormal, functioned
in their dysfunctional
homes as normal
and a person can rage (if
they can get away with it),
abuse, by passive-aggressive
provoking to merely reduce
the pain inside of them
Life is to be lived in the
moment
Reactions in life purely on
what is the issue, what
is happening now
People from such homes can
be very rigid, call themselves
quiet, but then they don't
witness to love and life inside
instead they are existing in
pain that comes up in
silent oppressed screams
where they provoke another,
to feel, in their frozen state
Life is not Life
if it's being trapped in a
reactive body
A person can be frozen in pain
but we were created to
live
be spontaneous
feel
react to pain now
Not carry around a loaded
gun inside ready to
detonate or let loose
in rage
Or a fire smoldering in a rug
that one buries in another's
bed
so they can get relief when
their brother's bed
catches on fire
(passive-aggressive)
Jesus: I cry to write of My desire for
holy families, religious
communities to exist in loving,
praying for this troubled
world
Life is to be lived in the moment
not in one so self-righteous,
locked in a can, a morgue from
the past
a mummy, yet breathing
I cry blood,
Instead of recognizing your
sins lying in deception
of the games some play
WHITE - WASHED TOMBS
Frozen inside
FILLED WITH PAIN
SELF RIGHTEOUS
CAVED-IN
Freedom is found in breaking
the chains of addictions
masking the pain deep
inside, so you can get
through not living
blocking the pain with
a fix
Humility is truth
there is good and evil in all
of you
the darkness, dark spots
need to be looked at
like cancer and removed
so you can live life
unimpeded
Countries of hate
Existing never forgiving
Centuries of bitterness
I am the Savior
I came to teach you love
I give you the Shepherds of Christ to
learn of My love
To model your lives after the
love of our 2 Hearts
To believe in the one true God
To reach to live in the image
and likeness of God
I give you the greatest commandment
to love God and love others
as yourselves
Satan hates you
Satan wants you with HARD HEARTS
Satan wants you caved in
Satan wants you to hate God
Satan wants you to hate your brother
Satan wants you selfish
not thanking God for the
gifts I give you
Satan wants you locked in
the past wounds
Blaming others for the pain you
have too painful for
you to even remember
Silent screams of
disharmony
unpredictability
unloving unfair ways
selfishness from those
who were your
guardians and should
have loved you
What survival tactics do the
children of today need to
live in such an unloving
world of murdering babies,
free sex, violence and are
being trained to be numb
to this social war of disobedience
to God's laws paraded
before their eyes on T.V.
movies, papers, computers
Satan has infiltrated communication
Texting a nude picture
for a date
Do you see how he is getting
away with brain-washing
evil
Oh America, land of plenty,
you don't even know
pain when God has so
richly blessed you
Do you know the pain of men
leaving their families
to fight a terrorist war
for you and you bite off
the hand feeding you to
just argue, have competition
when you are so richly blessed
I call nuns to grow in virtue

Excerpt from August 21, 2011
R. Virtues
Ecclesiasticus 19: 1
A drunken workman will never grow rich, and one who makes light of small matters will gradually sink.
R. Venial sin is:
1) An offense against God
2) It lessens love of God in our soul
3) It weakens the will
It makes it easier to sin mortally
God did not allow Moses to lead the
people into the Promised Land
because of his sin
God punishes sin we are to repent
and ask for mercy God forgives
a man with a contrite heart
If we want to be holy we avoid small
sins
The most humble man doesn't tell
little white lies
he never slanders his brother
with lies
How can I give much love to God
We are not to give into sinful thoughts
We can keep repeating bad acts these
are vices
7 deadly sins
pride,
greed, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth
Vanity jealousy, curiosity against God's will
Scandal immodesty
dishonesty
cruelty
disobedience
anger
argumentative
lying
St. Thomas defines anger
He says a disordered desire
of vengeance
fighting, passive aggressive
hatred, arguing
desires of the flesh
vanity - against chastity
not modest - not pure
lust inordinate desire
to indulge in pleasure
and the flesh
this can ruin health
humility give all credit to God
pride - excessive love of self
pride is at the base of all sins
Ecclesiasticus 10: 15
The Lord has plucked up the proud by the roots, and planted the lowly in their place.
R. We prefer our desires to
God's will
Matthew 22: 36-40
'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'
end of excerpt
August 23, 2011 continues
Jesus: Pride is the problem
Self-righteousness of the sinners
The devil tries to pull the wool
over your eyes
lies are lies
slander is slander
abuse is unloving
jealousy acted on can be
so grossly impure
provoking others to make
someone mad for your
own relief is a sin
Where you were commanded
to love there is
hate, abuse, violence,
deception, lies, slander
And then satan says to you
These scarlet red sins are
okay
He is like the frog put in
boiling water
first the frog is placed
in lukewarm water
then the water is turned
up to boiling and the
frog dies
Satan turns up the water
the vision is more and
more distorted by
a person giving into
satan
Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994
A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.
-Mass Book, December 27, 1995
Excerpt from August 10, 2011
John 15: 18-21
If the world hates you,
you must realise that it hated me
before it hated you.
If you belonged to the world,
the world would love you as its own;
but because you do not belong to the world,
because my choice of you
has drawn you out of the world,
that is why the world hates you.
Remember the words I said to you:
A servant is not greater than his master.
If they persecuted me,
they will persecute you too;
if they kept my word,
they will keep yours as well.
But it will be on my account
that they will do all this to you,
because they do not know
the one who sent me.. . .
R. It is cold in many hearts that have turned
from God God created all things from nothing
He gave us the light
He is the source of light
God is the source
God gave us water and air we need to live
God gives us the sun and warmth
God is the source
God is our Creator
We are the creatures
We can never forget this
This keeps us having right vision
God is the source of all power
He is all PowerfulPower comes from God
Jesus is the Light of Life
All Power is in Him
The air we breath comes from Him
The water we drink, bathe in comes from Him When we lose our perspective of all of these
things we can have vision in error
thinking power comes from us as the source
this is erroneous thinking
Power is in God
God is Creator
We are His creatures We are to hear God's call and respond
to Him God wants us to love Him
We have a free will to love or not love
To be likened to God - we must love
What God gives to us are great gifts
God created the seeds, the animals,
God created us
We can learn about God by studying
God's creation . . .
R. God created the sun and the moon and the stars
God created the birds and fish
God created us in His image and likeness. . .
Prayer from St. Ignatius
Lord, teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve;
To give and not to count the cost;
To fight and not to heed the wounds;
To toil and not to seek for rest;
To labor and not to ask for any reward,
Save that of knowing
that I am doing your will.

The sinners in Zion are panic-stricken
and fear seizes on the godless,
'Which of us can survive
the devouring fire,
which of us survive everlasting burning?'
The one who acts uprightly
and speaks honestly,
who scorns to get rich by extortion,
who rejects bribes out of hand,
who refuses to listen to plans
involving bloodshed
and shuts his eyes
rather than countenance crime:
such a man will live on the heights,
the craggy rocks will be his refuge,
he will be fed, he will not want for water.
R. Dear God help us to walk humbly
Dear God help us to speak the truth
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
There is a season for everything, a time for every occupation under heaven:
A time for giving birth,
a time for dying;
a time for planting,
a time for uprooting what has been planted.
A time for killing,
a time for healing;
a time for knocking down,
a time for building.
A time for tears,
a time for laughter;
a time for mourning,
a time for dancing.
A time for throwing stones away,
a time for gathering them;
a time for embracing,
a time to refrain from embracing.
A time for searching,
a time for losing;
a time for keeping,
a time for discarding.
A time for tearing,
a time for sewing;
a time for keeping silent,
a time for speaking.
A time for loving,
a time for hating;
a time for war,
a time for peace.
Song: I am a God of Justice
Sing: Save Us Oh Lord
Jeremiah 1: 4-10
The call of Jeremiah
The word of Yahweh came to me, saying:
Before I formed you in the womb
I knew you;
before you came to birth
I consecrated you;
I appointed you as prophet to the nations.
I then said, Ah, ah, ah, Lord Yahweh;
you see, I do not know how to speak: I am only a child!
But Yahweh replied,
Do not say, "I am only a child,"
for you must go to all to whom I send you
and say whatever I command you.
Do not be afraid of confronting them,
for I am with you to rescue you,
Yahweh declares.
Then Yahweh stretched out
his hand and touched my mouth,
and Yahweh said to me:
There! I have put my words
into your mouth.
Look, today I have set you
over the nations and kingdoms,
to uproot and to knock down,
to destroy and to overthrow,
to build and to plant.

January 5, 1997
R. On January 5, 1997, I was wakened by Our Lord and He was mumbling as He was around my bed as He did on October 8, 1997, when He delivered the "Seedless, Barren, No Fruit on the Vine" message.
I heard Him and He repeated the words over and over again. I had a copy of the all-night message on the floor, I jumped from the bed and began to write around the message, for it was the only paper available and He was speaking very plainly and direct. I wrote this message in the margins of the paper. He kept repeating "BABY, BARE BABY, LAID BARE".
Message of January 5, 1997
Jesus: Open yourself, Oh Jerusalem, your time is come you will be a light to the people in darkness, many will walk whence you come and the earth will be shakened and the light will come across a dark sky and enlighten their minds.
Oh stiff-necked people, you are so stiff in your ways, let the spirit envelope you and lead you on your way.
A country of stiffs, a people of planning and prodding, of deliberating and wonderingyou lack faith, Jerusalem, you lack faith in God.
Oh walk naked into the cold night, you are cold in your hearts and naked in your clothingI cloth you with glory, I light your face with light, but you turn your cheeks to the darkness and stay stiff-necked in your hearts. Oh cold and dark hearts, reach for the light that you may know the glory that awaits the sinners and enlightens their minds.

R. God gives and God takes away
October 8, 1997
Jesus: Seedless, barren, not bringing forth fruit on the vine. I come to be heard and who pays Me heed. To a people of stiffs I address this issue, what think you when the water is gone from the trough?
Do you think you will then worship the molten calf or will you be ready for surrender then?
Oh, you thankless race, anger and wrath is the mind of your God. You do not worry, My messenger, for I am God and I speak to you. You think you are alone and I have chosen you. Your money is your god, oh people of Zion - your money in the pockets is the sound that brings you joy.
What brings Me joy is the songs of the faithful, praising and worshipping God, but I go to the tent and there is the molten calf and an abased nation of stiffs, heartless and filled with fear. I beg of you to stop now before it is too late, but you do not know of the chastisement I have in store for you - it is under the plan of the Father.
The children who walk in darkness carried a molten calf in their arms and the God of justice struck the earth.
He struck you, senseless people, because you would not listen.
I did not put you on the earth and then leave you to yourselves. I dwelt amongst you to guide you in all your ways and the people today spit on Me as they did 2,000 years before. For all these years I waited for the likes of you, My people, and why should you have more time for false joy? Joy is not in the molten calf. It is in the words of the Savior.
My Words are your truth, yet you try to wash them away as hearsay and of no importance.
My Word is the Word of God mighty and true. I have been ignored and defiled in My Word. I smite you, My senseless race. I allow the dragon to devour your young for you are the senseless race. I allow the dragon to devour your young for you are the senseless children of Eve.
Debased, proud and dead, really dead in your hearts.
I give you sunshine and rain and you want flowers and glory.
The glory is Mine or I will have to continue to listen to the wailing widow, a barren branch, a company of stiffs.
Ignore Me no longer senseless ones. My hand is upon you. It will come down and wipe out the senseless virgins, the ones singing to the molten calf.
Rachel could hear the slaughter of her children and she wept such bitter tears. The Lady Clothed as the Sun bore the barren race; they did not come to her grace-filled womb.
The thankless race marched into a pit of doom and destruction.
As I was pressed in the garden watching the days at hand, as I was squeezed, what came forth from My pores was the saving Blood for the children of Zion and when they ate from the land they feasted on rich food and strong drinks, the candy of the earth and it made them sick - sick to the death of their souls and the Lady Clothed as the Sun heard the cries of her sick children. I give you the medicine for the sick children in these writings and they chase you and make you fall to the ground. I watched you skin your knees when you carried the scrolls that contained My letters of love, My words from the depths of My Heart. You fell as I once did on the way to Calvary. I fell, I skinned My knees, My Body burned and I got up and went to the end.
The end was the beginning for the children of Zion for at that hill My cross was planted erect, a tree of life, and the juice that was squeezed 'till there was no more from the one "Son of Man, the Son of God", was the juice of the Man. It was His saving Blood.
They pressed Me in the Garden of Olives and I bled for the thankless race. They hung Me on a tree on the hill of Calvary. When I gave them the New Eve they chose the molten calf. They spit on My Mother, they ignored the visitations. She came and gave to the children to remind them of their covenant with God.
Oh senseless ones, so many will now fall, for I hung there and to the right was one and to the left another. The one was saved; the other was cursed. You picked from the tree when you should have obeyed your Father. He gave you His will. He said, "You may eat of all the trees in the garden but not this one." and you continually ate of the forbidden fruit. I warned you, My children, and you chased My messengers and made them run. I gave to you My Book of Life, My Bible, and you ate the sick fruit and it made you so sick you wanted to die but you kept eating when I told you the end was near and now that the end has come, what do you say for yourself? You ignored the Lady Clothed as the Sun. She appeared in all glory and splendor and so many months later so few go to her site to even see her. So is it My fault or yours our money does not come to publish your books and tell the world about the Woman in Florida? It is not My fault, I am God. I am the faultless One.
You want joy. I have no joy for the likes of you, My children of Zion, you have usurped My thrones and treated My body as rubbish. I am God. I come in the Eucharist and I am ignored. I speak no longer. The days that follow will be the days to cleanse this earth.
I am angered beyond all anger for the way My Mother has been treated in Florida by the thankless race. They have worshipped the molten calf and ignored the Lady of Light, the Lady Clothed as the Sun, the Lady of Fatima in the Americas, Our Lady of Guadalupe, bringing forth her children. The good will suffer with the bad; the wheat will be separated from the darnel (weeds). You walked like little stiff men with your haughty hearts. Your heads were your gods. I gave you great minds to comprehend My mysteries and you used your minds to worship false gods and make movies that defile My priesthood. What of your minds? I do not even have energy to tell you how unworthy you used the mind, the intellect I gave you. You used this great faculty to commit the worst sins, and My head was crowned with the sharpest thorns for your sick earth. Oh, you squeezed the Blood from the Son of Man. You pressed that Man in the garden, when He knew this race of this day.
I now see the Woman on the building, My Mother, so loving to the children I gave her and the mean ones threw acid on her face. Oh, you race of vile hearts and thankless ways. I will clothe the holy ones in the white robes of glory. The thankless ones I will turn over to the red men that will hand them over to the keeper of the pit and their bodies will be burned in the burning sulfur of the pool of death. Come, My children of light, your Mother called you through the consecration. She showed you the way home to My Heart. She carried a lighted lamp and lighted your way in the darkness. You were not foolish like the virgins that carried a lamp without a light. Your light for the lamp was My life alive in your hearts. When the darkest night comes you will know the flames of My love alive in your lighted hearts, burning with the fire from the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I give you the fuel, My faithful virgins. I gave you the fuel to light your lamps that in the dark night that lies ahead, you will still shine as a beacon light, a light of intense brightness no matter how dark the night. You will not die for your refuge is the fire of the Sacred Heart and you gave your heart to the New Eve, the pure and Immaculate One and she took you to the Heart of your Savior. She took you home and you dwelt within the chamber of My Heart and you were protected from the evil one in these last days. You tried to spread this consecration. It is the key that leads to the place of refuge. So many camps the devil told men to prepare and they labored in vain, for the Word was had in dwelling in Our Hearts. You would find refuge and they missed the message and busied themselves with the work of the evil one.
I say to you what refuge survived when Noah built his ark? Only those on the ark survived the great flood. You prepare your earth. When My Word was to prepare your hearts. Then again, they worshipped the church building, the grounds and the wood and their hearts were left as cold vaults. I beg you, My beauteous ones, to beg the men to prepare their hearts before it is too late. Only the Ark of the Covenant will be the means of survival in this dark age. When the moon turns to blood they will run away frightened and their buildings will be like cold vaults - only the hearts consecrated to Our Hearts will survive.
You were willful and too busy to know the story. The story is this: There is but one home; it is the Heart of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. My Mother is the gatekeeper. It is through her Immaculate Heart you enter. She is the singular vessel, a New Eve, a Woman Clothed as the Sun, a doorway to the everlasting abyss of Light, the Light of the World, the Sacred Eucharistic Heart of the Son of Man.
There was not room for Me in the Inn and there is not room for Me in the hearts of many and what can I say - they will die. I gave them the book of life. I gave them the Man who hung on a tree to save them. I gave them Myself, truly present in the Eucharist, the Eucharist and My Word I gave them. I gave to them My Mother - the way to enter into My Heart and they were haughty and proud. I was born in a stable in Bethlehem for you, My men. I am the Light of the World. The foolish virgins had no oil for their lamps and they went out. And you could hear the wailing cries of her children being slaughtered in the dark night. Oh, the Lady Clothed as the Sun warned them to come to her heart and the Heart of her Son (the Light of the World) and they went to the molten calf and they died a brutal death.

R. God guide our actions
God guide our feet
Lead us out of darkness into the light
Guide us to walk in Your ways of peace
Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

and the Immaculate Heart of Mary."Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as 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!
"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a 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."

Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 10.00 plus postageGuiding 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

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

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
