3. I love the Holy Spirit.

5. Read Scripture Matthew 3: 1-10
Matthew 3: 1-10
In due course John the Baptist appeared; he proclaimed
this message in the desert of Judaea, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of
Heaven is close at hand.’ This was the man spoken of by the prophet
Isaiah when he said:
A voice of one that cries in the desert,
‘Prepare a way for the Lord,
make his paths straight.’
This man John wore a garment made of camel–hair with a
leather loin–cloth round his waist, and his food was locusts and wild honey.
Then Jerusalem and all Judaea and the whole Jordan district made their way
to him, and as they were baptised by him in the river Jordan they
confessed their sins. But when he saw a number of Pharisees and
Sadducees coming for baptism he said to them, ‘Brood of vipers, who warned you
to flee from the coming retribution? Produce fruit in keeping
with repentance, and do not presume to tell yourselves, "We have
Abraham as our father," because, I tell you, God can raise children for
Abraham from these stones. Even now the axe is being laid to the root
of the trees, so that any tree failing to produce good fruit will be cut down
and thrown on the fire.
6. God gives us His grace.
7. God is the Almighty God.
8. God has called us to His Movement to
help spread the Light to the world.
9. God wants us to Consecrate our Hearts
to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
10. God wants oneness.
Miracle
at Cana
John 2: 3-10
And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the
feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no
wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has
not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever
he tells you.’ There were six stone water jars standing
there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could
hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill
the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he
said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’
They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into
wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the
water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and
said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are
well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’
1. Jesus is God.
2. Jesus works like this.
He works miracles.
3. God is like this.
He is almighty.
He has created us.
God created the sun.
Genesis Chapter 1
The creation of the world
In the beginning God created heaven and earth. Now the earth
was a formless void, there was darkness over the deep, with a divine wind
sweeping over the waters.
God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and
there was light. God saw that light was good, and God divided light from
darkness. God called light ‘day’, and darkness he called ‘night’.
Evening came and morning came: the first day.
God said, ‘Let there be a vault through
the middle of the waters to divide the waters in two.’ And so it was. God
made the vault, and it divided the waters under the vault from the waters
above the vault. God called the vault ‘heaven’. Evening came and morning
came: the second day.
God said, ‘Let the waters under heaven
come together into a single mass, and let dry land appear.’ And so it was.
God called the dry land ‘earth’ and the mass of waters ‘seas’, and God
saw that it was good.
God said, ‘Let the earth produce
vegetation: seed–bearing plants, and fruit trees on earth, bearing fruit
with their seed inside, each corresponding to its own species.’ And so it
was. The earth produced vegetation: the various kinds of seed–bearing plants
and the fruit trees with seed inside, each corresponding to its own species.
God saw that it was good. Evening came and morning came: the third day.
God said, ‘Let there be lights in the
vault of heaven to divide day from night, and let them indicate festivals,
days and years. Let them be lights in the vault of heaven to shine on the
earth.’ And so it was. God made the two great lights: the greater light to
govern the day, the smaller light to govern the night, and the stars. God set
them in the vault of heaven to shine on the earth, to govern the day and the
night and to divide light from darkness. God saw that it was good. Evening
came and morning came: the fourth day.
God said, ‘Let the waters be alive with
a swarm of living creatures, and let birds wing their way above the earth
across the vault of heaven.’ And so it was. God created great sea–monsters
and all the creatures that glide and teem in the waters in their own species,
and winged birds in their own species. God saw that it was good. God blessed
them, saying, ‘Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters of the seas; and
let the birds multiply on land.’ Evening came and morning came: the fifth
day.
God said, ‘Let the earth produce every
kind of living creature in its own species: cattle, creeping things and wild
animals of all kinds.’ And so it was. God made wild animals in their own
species, and cattle in theirs, and every creature that crawls along the earth
in its own species. God saw that it was good.
God said, ‘Let us make man in our own
image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of
the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals and all the
creatures that creep along the ground.’
God created man in the image of himself,
in the image of God he created him,
male and female he created them.
God blessed them, saying to them, ‘Be
fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters of the fish of
the sea, the birds of heaven and all the living creatures that move on
earth.’ God also said, ‘Look, to you I give all the seed–bearing plants
everywhere on the surface of the earth, and all the trees with seed–bearing
fruit; this will be your food. And to all the wild animals, all the birds of
heaven and all the living creatures that creep along the ground, I give all
the foliage of the plants as their food.’ And so it was. God saw all he had
made, and indeed it was very good. Evening came and morning came: the sixth
day.
4. Jesus is the Light of the World.
5. God gives us the light.
6. God gives us the sun.
7. God lets us experience the dark night.
8. God gives us lightening.
9. God gives us autumn leaves
and light to see them.
10.
...God himself is the
ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent,
hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let
us briefly look at this inner life of God.
The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a
perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the
immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father.
Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy
Spirit in a perfect act of loving.
At the destined moment in human history, God's
self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner
self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression.
Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ,
God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation
and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell
within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their
own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish
through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a
minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among
you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations
past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them
the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the
mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim
while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom,
hoping to make every man complete in Christ". (Col
1:25-28)
excerpt
from Response to God's Love
Kingdom
of God
1. Matthew 18: 1-5
At this time the disciples came to Jesus and
said, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ So he
called a little child to him whom he set among them. Then he said, ‘In truth
I tell you, unless you change and become like little children you will never
enter the kingdom of Heaven. And so, the one who makes himself as
little as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
‘Anyone who welcomes one little child like this in my name
welcomes me.
2. Jesus speaks:
I am the Son of God.
On this January 5, 2003 — I ask
you to read the message My
Father gave January 5, 1999.
January 5, 1999
God the
Father speaks: It is because of your fervor to pray here that
you have held back the hand of My Son from punishing the earth with just
punishment for the crimes committed against your God.
3. Jesus
speaks: I am Jesus the Son of God.
Tell all here to read January 19, 1994
in God's Blue Book II tomorrow
or as soon as possible.
I ask you to hear Me speak to you
in this Message.
Be there in a quiet place and hear
the words as if you clearly hear
Me delivering this message to you.
4. Jesus speaks:
Pray to answer the call I am
giving to you.
5. Revelation 19: 5-10
Victory Song
Then a voice came from the throne; it said,
‘Praise our God, you servants of his and those who fear him, small and
great alike.’ And I heard what seemed to be the voices of a huge
crowd, like the sound of the ocean or the great roar of thunder, answering,
‘Alleluia! The reign of the Lord our God Almighty has begun; let us be
glad and joyful and give glory to God, because this is the time for the
marriage of the Lamb. His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress
herself in dazzling white linen, because her linen is made of the good deeds
of the saints.’ The angel said, ‘Write this, "Blessed are those who
are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb," ’ and he added,
‘These words of God are true.’ Then I knelt at his feet to worship him,
but he said to me, ‘Never do that: I am your fellow–servant and the
fellow–servant of all your brothers who have in themselves the witness of
Jesus. God alone you must worship.’ The witness of Jesus is the spirit of
prophecy.
6. Revelation 21: 1-8
The heavenly Jerusalem
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth;
the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no
longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming
down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband.
Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, ‘Look, here God
lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be
his people, and he will be their God, God–with–them. He
will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more
death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has
gone.’
Then the One sitting on the throne
spoke. ‘Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this,
"What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true." Then
he said to me, ‘It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to
anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit
these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son.
But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship
obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers,
worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in
the burning lake of sulphur.’
7. Jesus speaks:
I am Jesus, Son of the Living God.
8. Jesus speaks:
I will give you special graces
to spread My Kingdom if you
pray and ask for this.
9. Jesus speaks:
Pray for 2 special intentions
and the other ones too.
10. Jesus speaks:
I am a God of Justice.
My Kingdom is not of this world.
John 18: 36
Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this world;
if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my
being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong
here.’
Transfiguration
1. Matthew 17: 1-2
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James
and his brother John and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There in
their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his
clothes became as dazzling as light.
2. Matthew 17: 3-5
And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them; they
were talking with him. Then Peter spoke to Jesus. ‘Lord,’ he
said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; if you want me to, I will make three
shelters here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He
was still speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and
suddenly from the cloud there came a voice which said, ‘This is my Son, the
Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’
3. Matthew 17: 6-8
When they heard this, the disciples fell on their faces,
overcome with fear. But Jesus came up and touched them, saying, ‘Stand up, do
not be afraid.’ And when they raised their eyes they saw no one but
Jesus.
4. Matthew 18: 1-5
At this time the disciples came to Jesus and
said, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ So he
called a little child to him whom he set among them. Then he said, ‘In truth
I tell you, unless you change and become like little children you will never
enter the kingdom of Heaven. And so, the one who makes himself as
little as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.
‘Anyone who welcomes one little child like this in my name
welcomes me.

Last
Supper
1. Luke 22: 14-20
The supper
When the time came he took his place at
table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, ‘I have
ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; because,
I tell you, I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’
Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and share it
among you, because from now on, I tell you, I shall never again
drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.’
The institution of the Eucharist
Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke
it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in
remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after supper,
and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.
2. Jesus speaks:
I have called you from this place
to write My Rosary Messages
for My beloved chosen ones.
Help Me, I love you.
I give you this rosary tonight.
John 6: 22-71
The discourse in the synagogue
at Capernaum
Next day, the crowd that had
stayed on the other side saw that only one boat had been there, and that
Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but that the disciples
had set off by themselves. Other boats, however, had put in from Tiberias,
near the place where the bread had been eaten. When the people saw that
neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into those boats and
crossed to Capernaum to look for Jesus. When they found him on the other
side, they said to him, 'Rabbi, when did you come here?' Jesus answered:
In all truth I tell you,
you are looking for me
not because you have seen the signs
but because you had all the bread
you wanted to eat.
Do not work for food that goes bad,
but work for food
that endures for eternal life,
which the Son of man will give you,
for on him the Father, God himself,
has set his seal.
Then they said to him, 'What
must we do if we are to carry out God's work?' Jesus gave them this
answer, 'This is carrying out God's work: you must believe in the one he
has sent.' So they said, 'What sign will you yourself do, the sight of
which will make us believe in you? What work will you do? Our fathers ate
manna in the desert; as scripture says: He gave them bread from heaven
to eat.' Jesus answered them:
In all truth I tell you,
it was not Moses
who gave you the bread from heaven,
it is 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 that 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.
But, as I have told you,
you can see me and still you do not believe.
Everyone whom the Father gives me
will come to me;
I will certainly not reject
anyone who comes to me,
because I have come from heaven,
not to do my own will,
but to do the will of him who sent me.
Now the will of him who sent me
is that I should lose nothing
of all that he has given to me,
but that I should raise it up
on the last day.
It is my Father's will
that whoever sees the Son
and believes in him
should have eternal life,
and that I should raise that person up
on the last day.
Meanwhile the Jews were
complaining to each other about him, because he had said, 'I am the bread
that has come down from heaven.' They were saying, 'Surely this is Jesus
son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know. How can he now say,
"I have come down from heaven?" ' Jesus said in reply to them,
'Stop complaining to each other.
'No one can come to me
unless drawn by the Father who sent me,
and I will raise that person up
on the last day.
It is written in the prophets:
They will all be taught by God;
everyone who has listened to the Father,
and learnt from him,
comes to me.
Not that anybody has seen the Father,
except him who has his being from God:
he has seen the Father.
In all truth I tell you,
everyone who believes has eternal life.
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.
This is what he taught at Capernaum in the
synagogue. After hearing it, many of his followers
said, ‘This is intolerable language. How could anyone accept it?’ Jesus
was aware that his followers were complaining about it and said, ‘Does
this disturb you? What if you should see the Son of man ascend to
where he was before? ‘It is the spirit that gives life, the
flesh has nothing to offer. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and
they are life. ‘But there are some of you who do not
believe.’ For Jesus knew from the outset who did not believe and who was
to betray him. He went on, ‘This is why I told you that no one
could come to me except by the gift of the Father.’ After this,
many of his disciples went away and accompanied him no more.
Peter’s profession of faith
Then Jesus said to the Twelve, ‘What about you, do you
want to go away too?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘Lord, to whom
shall we go? You have the message of eternal life, and we
believe; we have come to know that you are the Holy One of God.’ Jesus
replied to them, ‘Did I not choose the Twelve of you? Yet one of you is a
devil.’ He meant Judas son of Simon Iscariot, since this was
the man, one of the Twelve, who was to betray him.
