Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

Through the same Christ Our Lord. R.  Amen. 

                R. Holiness is about conquering
                    temptation

                Enslaved to sin —
                Addicted to sin

                Jesus saves us from
                    slavery or sin —

                Addicted people usually hit
                    rock bottom then rise up

                Habitual sin tears up apart
                Sin we don't admit we do —

                Christ was torn apart for our
                    sins — His flesh thrown
                    in the air —

                Doing God's will is freedom from
                    slavery —

                Confession gives us grace —

                The priest says
                    "Your sins are forgiven"

                Jesus gives us a sharing in
                    His life through baptism —

                Beat up, but not conquered —
 

                Those in the desert worshipped
                    a calf —

                The People of God - fell into temptation —

                God gives us the Eucharist for our
                    journey —

                God gives us the bread of life —

                We are given Jesus — truly present
                    in the Eucharist
   

                R. One vision

                Seeing through the eyes of God the Father

                Doing the Father's will —
                Loving the Father's will —

                Making our will the will of God the Father

                Moses passed the baton to Joshua

                Succession is very important —

                Rebecca wanted Jacob to get
                    the blessing —

                God created a harmonious world —

                Eve wanted to be equal to God

                Our vision becomes distorted the
                    more we give into sin —

                It's what's in the heart —
                Jealousy is in the heart —
                Anger is in the heart —

                Seeking dominance for dominance
                    sake is in the heart — 

                Song: Give me Your Heart oh Jesus

                R. In the heart is love —
                    not seeing oneself in competition with others
                    because of our inferiority — voices
                    of our parents, voices of the devil —
                    saying: "You aren't enough, you
                    never did enough, focus on yourself"

                Social skills mean —
                    we know God loves us (use the Blue Books)
                    Seriously wounded — not liking ourselves
                                                — not going out
                                                — not knowing how
                                                    important we are
                                                    to God's plan

                Being grateful —

                Being happy comes from living God's Plan —
                    Freedom — loving — going out —

                Living one's vocation in love —
                    thanking God for our talents —
                    knowing God created us to build His Kingdom —

                God created us to be a gift to the
                    world —
                    no one can contribute our
                        love, our gift — we are
                        unique —

                Don't be selfish and block someone else's gift
                Don't be selfish and jealous, envious and
                    block God's Plan —

                God made us a gift — rejoice —
                    do what He wants —

                    Freedom is in doing God's will —

                Tension in peoples is because of original sin —
                    competition, self-centered —
                    feeling inferior, fearful —
                    bad habits - vices —
                    dark vision inside —
                    God is light
                    Jesus died for us

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

end of Mary's Message

                R. Tension — because of concupiscence —
                    who will win — competition —
                    work as one — in harmony —
                    using unique talents —
                    building God's Kingdom —

                    Love, Love, Love

                Jesus empowers us
                    2 hard-headed people marry —
                    won't forgive —
                    won't work as one —
                    in competition
                    then they can't live like this
                        they say —
                    Children in home of hatred —

                Hatred in itself against our
                    brothers is bad

                Love is being likened more and
                    more to God

                The devil wants division —
                    competition —
                    trying to be smarter —
                    prove the other guy wrong for power - over.

                We can use a person for our object —
                Rather than love them —
                See the whole person —
                Take away their "Personage"
                See them less than us —
                See them less —
                See them as an object —
                    rather than as the beautiful
                    person God created, with talents
                    to build His Kingdom — honored —

                Loved

                Living their vocation in great
                    love — saying "yes" like
                    Mary — not in competition
                    like Joseph's brothers —
                        Cain and Abel
                        Jacob and Esau
                        etc.

                Sibling Rivalry — or love —
                    praying for unity to do God's will

                Father's not respecting their children —
                Children not loving their parents
                    despite the parents fault — seeing
                    the good they did and being
                    thankful —

                We see the disorder in the storms —
                    the tsunami — the hurricanes,
                    tornadoes

                Disorder in the elements —
                Disorder in men because of original sin —
                Disorder in animals, nature
                Disorder in diseases
                Death

                "Remember man that thou art dust
                    and to dust thou shalt return."

                R. Paradise lost —

                God gives us gifts —
                We can be ungrateful —
                Listen to satan like Eve —

                Satan said "I will not serve God"
                Satan wants us to say that —
                Satan wants division and hate —

                Because of original sin:
                We see each other with distorted vision —
                We see God with distorted vision —
                We see ourselves with distorted vision —

                God never abandoned His people —

                Jesus is the Savior —
                We need Jesus —
                We can't do it alone —

                We have a wounded human nature
                    because of original sin —

                We have a free will —
                    We are free to obey the greatest
                        commandment of love —

                I choose to love —
                This is an act of the will —
                Love is a choice —
                I can choose to hate

                I am making my choice to love God,
                    first and to love my brother as
                    myself —

                God has given man the gift to co-create —
                    Be grateful

                We give what we have first to God
                    (not left-overs, after we do
                        what we want opposed to
                        God's will)

                God calls us to our vocation —
                To love and serve God as He desires
                    is our calling —
                God calls — we have a free will
                    to respond —
                God calls who he wants!!

Colossians 3: 1-17

Since you have been raised up to be with Christ, you must look for the things that are above, where Christ is, sitting at God’s right hand. Let your thoughts be on things above, not on the things that are on the earth, because you have died, and now the life you have is hidden with Christ in God. But when Christ is revealed—and he is your life—you, too, will be revealed with him in glory.

That is why you must kill everything in you that is earthly: sexual vice, impurity, uncontrolled passion, evil desires and especially greed, which is the same thing as worshipping a false god; it is precisely these things which draw God's retribution upon those who resist. And these things made up your way of life when you were living among such people, but now you also must give up all these things: human anger, hot temper, malice, abusive language and dirty talk; and do not lie to each other. You have stripped off your old behaviour with your old self, and you have put on a new self which will progress towards true knowledge the more it is renewed in the image of its Creator; and in that image there is no room for distinction between Greek and Jew, between the circumcised and uncircumcised, or between barbarian and Scythian, slave and free. There is only Christ: he is everything and he is in everything.

    As the chosen of God, then, the holy people whom he loves, you are to be clothed in heartfelt compassion, in generosity and humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with one another; forgive each other if one of you has a complaint against another. The Lord has forgiven you; now you must do the same. Over all these clothes, put on love, the perfect bond. And may the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it is for this that you were called together in one body. Always be thankful. 

    Let the Word of Christ, in all its richness, find a home with you. Teach each other, and advise each other, in all wisdom. With gratitude in your hearts sing psalms and hymns and inspired songs to God; and whatever you say or do, let it be in the name of the Lord Jesus, in thanksgiving to God the Father through him.

Colossians 1: 15-29

He is the image of the unseen God, the first-born of all creation, for in him were created all things in heaven and on earth: everything visible and everything invisible, thrones, ruling forces, sovereignties, powers -- all things were created through him and for him. He exists before all things and in him all things hold together, and he is the Head of the Body, that is, the Church.

He is the Beginning, the first-born from the dead, so that he should be supreme in every way; because God wanted all fullness to be found in him and through him to reconcile all things to him, everything in heaven and everything on earth, by making peace through his death on the cross.

You were once estranged and of hostile intent through your evil behaviour; now he has reconciled you, by his death and in that mortal body, to bring you before himself holy, faultless and irreproachable -- as long as you persevere and stand firm on the solid base of the faith, never letting yourselves drift away from the hope promised by the gospel, which you have heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become the servant.

It makes me happy to be suffering for you now, and in my own body to make up all the hardships that still have to be undergone by Christ for the sake of his body, the Church, of which I was made a servant with the responsibility towards you that God gave to me, that of completing God's message, the message which was a mystery hidden for generations and centuries and has now been revealed to his holy people. It was God's purpose to reveal to them how rich is the glory of this mystery among the gentiles; it is Christ among you, your hope of glory: this is the Christ we are proclaiming, admonishing and instructing everyone in all wisdom, to make everyone perfect in Christ. And it is for this reason that I labour, striving with his energy which works in me mightily.

                R. We all seek happiness

                Jesus came to preach the Gospel —
                    the good news of God: Salvation —

                Song: A Song from Jesus

                R. Christ offers us happiness, not
                    worldly happiness — lasting
                        happiness is in Him —

Acts 5: 40-42

and they had the apostles called in, gave orders for them to be flogged, warned them not to speak in the name of Jesus and released them. And so they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, glad to have had the honour of suffering humiliation for the sake of the name.

    Every day they went on ceaselessly teaching and proclaiming the good news of Christ Jesus, both in the temple and in private houses.

                    R. happiness rooted in love of God —
                    our knowledge of God's love for us —
                    happiness is rooted in being
                        with God for all eternity —

                The beatitudes
 

Matthew 5: 3-10

How blessed are the poor in spirit:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
Blessed are the gentle:
they shall have the earth as inheritance.
Blessed are those who mourn:
they shall be comforted.
Blessed are those
   who hunger and thirst for uprightness:
they shall have their fill.
Blessed are the merciful:
they shall have mercy shown them.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
they shall be recognised
   as children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted
   in the cause of uprightness:
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.  
 

                Ultimate happiness is with God
                    in heaven —
                    (happiness begins on earth in
                        following Jesus our Savior)

                This happiness is found through
                    dying to self and rising in Him —
                    what God's Plan is for us —
                    i.e.
                    Not seeking revenge —
                    Being thoughtful of others —
                    forgiving enemies —
                    avoiding temptation —

                Fr. Joe said
                    A little boy was drawing a
                        picture of God —
                    The Teacher said —
                        "Nobody knows what God
                            looks like"
                    The little boy said —
                        "When I'm done they
                            will know"

                Jesus is the visible image of
                    the invisible God

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

... In reference to Christianity, 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).

                R. God the Father wants us to
                    be a family united —
                    Loving God and

                We know
   

John 3: 16

                R. God gives us life —

                God created man the apex of creation.

                Man, in baptism, receives a
                    sharing in His life,
                    his knowing and loving
                    capacity is elevated —

                God created a serene, beautiful,
                    peaceful, loving, harmonious,
                    orderly, good world — without
                    sin, without evil —
                    without violence —

                But Man sinned —

                God had given man health and
                    peace and gifts, no diseases,
                    no violence and no war —

                But man sinned

                We are to seek union with Christ!

1 Corinthians 15: 20-28

In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first-fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first-fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

                    R. God loves us
                    God wants our friendship
                    God wants us holy —
                    God wants us friends —
                    God is the Creator —
                    We are the creatures —

                Abraham and Jewish nations provide
                    the preparation for Christ to come

                Covenant —
                    agreement between God and
                        His people —   

                    The Ten Commandments   

                The Old Testament — tells us how people
                    kept and broke the
                    covenant with God —

                People were faithful and
                    unfaithful
                    Salvation History

                God sent prophets (spokesmen)
                    to recall what He wanted
                    with the people

                Jesus, the Son of God, is our Savior —
                We need Jesus

                The prophets foretold this
                    ideal king and Savior —

                Finally at the right time the
                    Savior came

                In Advent we remember the
                    waiting for the Savior

                The Church is to bring us to Christ —

                Christ is God — the Son of God —
                    who became man —

                Christ is a Divine Person
                    with 2 Natures —
                    Divine and human —

                The Son of God became a man
                    still remaining God —

                This is the mystery of the Incarnation —
                Jesus came to teach us about God —
                Jesus walked the earth —
                Jesus taught us about obedience
                    to the Father's will —

                The Sacred Heart devotion is a
                    symbol of God's love
                    for us

December 17, 1991

Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.

His Burning Heart

R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.

    I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these letters—to draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:

    "Open your heart to the fire of God's love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love."

Mary: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.

    I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.

    I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book.
