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⁾

Messenger:    I examine my conscience and tell God I am sorry for:

                            1) When I have failed to recognize
                               the great gifts given to me.

                            2) When I have failed to love
                                others, recognizing
                                              I am showing love to
                                God when I love my brothers.

                        3) Failure to love Jesus as I should —
                                             show my love to Him, and tell Him I love Him.

                        4) Failure to thank God for His gifts to me.

                        5) Ways of selfishness

                                1) over indulgence,
                                                     self-focus not living
                                                     according to God's will for me.

                                2) not trusting God as I should

    

  

August 28, 2004 message continues

Messenger:     Jesus is love.

                        He wants us to love Him and love each 
                            other.

                        All through the day we should stop and
                            tell Him how much we love Him.

                        I know He is with me now at every
                                  second, I am never alone, He is
                            attentive to my every need.

                        I help others because I love them.
                            I help others. God wants
                                  me to see Him in them.

Messenger: Oh Lord, we want to please you.

We want to love You and honor You and give You glory, we want to adore You.

We want the world to be majorly affected by our offering today.

Unite our hearts as one in Yours and Mary's Heart.

Dear Father, look down and see the sacrifice of Your Son as a most pleasing offering and please outpour your grace on us, our priests, the Church and the world.

We pray with all our hearts in the name of Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, through the powerful intercession of Mary, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory.

We pray as a body united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we pray in Him. We give our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, united in love for all the intentions of the Shepherds of Christ and for this day.

  

Ceremony for incoming Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

  

Ask apostle: Do you wish to be an Apostle of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the Shepherds of Christ Movement?

Apostle responds: I do wish to be an Apostle of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

Recognition: I recognize you as an Apostle of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the Shepherds of Christ Movement. (This is not a vow.)

Recognition memento and prayer

   

June 13, 2000 - Early Morning

R. I have faith, God. I have faith in the power of our prayer united to You. You add to my life a new dimension, the joy of being tested and knowing that my faith in You and my trusting in You can help to bring down great grace for souls.

Oh God, I desire perfect abandonment to You and that purity of intention of doing Thy will as never before, knowing that all things depend on Your power.

A selfless life I wish to live, to act as You wish me to do, to be a light in the darkness and to walk in Your name.

An apostle am I. One who follows You, Lord. My heart may be enveloped in a sea of suffering from the state of things and the attitude of others to be so disrespectful to Your holy law, but I see clearly that the commandments have been the laws of God since the time of Moses. And many men have thrown them to the ground, but only the one who lives by them and recognizes God will know clearly the fruits that life in Him can bring for all eternity.

Jesus: Oh, My apostles, I call you to surrender, to abandonment. Work against your selfish ways. Live in that fullness of life where your life is most identified with Me.

A garden of glory I give you, as one who shines as the brightest light against the bleak night that strips your earth bare with dark sins. You walk an Apostle of My Sacred Heart, abandoning yourself more and more to your God, living in the moment according to My will. Oh child, oh My apostle, I love you so.

This is a calling to you from Me.

I ask you to abandon yourself to Me and live truly as your Father wills, surrendering your life in joy to love and serve your God by laying down your lives moment by moment in loving surrender. Every action is for My glory, your every breath lived to help save souls. You identify your sufferings with Mine. You live for My glory. You unite in every act to My Sacrifice on Calvary sacramentally made present in the Mass. You are a body of intercessors pleading and begging for souls. Pleading and begging for the priests to be holy priests, servants of their God, good shepherds, ones who lay down their lives for their flock. You pray for the renewal of the Church and the world. I am God, you are My shepherds, pleading and begging for the souls as you lay down your lives in the Morning Offering. Unite your actions to the Mass, live your life of consecration to Me, giving yourselves to Our pure and holy Hearts, dwelling in Our Hearts, being one in your God.

And the light shone in the darkness and My apostles helped to continue My work of spreading the Gospel and loving men.

Oh My apostles, I ask you to restrict your focus to help bring about the reign of My Sacred Heart and the triumph of My Mother's Heart. I ask for your commitment to daily attend Mass and daily come before the Blessed Sacrament. I ask you to live the life of consecration to Our Hearts, pray the rosary daily, pray the Shepherds of Christ prayers and the Holy Spirit Novena. I ask you to do this as you are able. Many elderly prayer apostles pray at home. I ask you to be an Apostle of My Sacred Heart, this is a special calling, I ask you to restrict your ministry activities to helping Me spread My Movement. I am calling you to be an Apostle of My Sacred Heart. Apostles take on a special commitment that an associate does not have. They serve the Movement in a very special way. Handmaids and servants are apostles. Apostles of the Sacred Heart are committed in a much deeper way than Associates, Prayer Apostles and Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus.

If you have lived the apostle life and do so now and intend to do so in the future, I wish to recognize you formally as My Apostle of the Sacred Heart for My Movement, Shepherds of Christ. I wish you to write your name on a card and come forward declaring your desire to be an Apostle of the Sacred Heart of Jesus for the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

I am Jesus. You come to Me, you tell Me of your desire to serve in this capacity. This is not an official sanction by the Church, it is not a vow. It is My Movement you desire of your own free will to serve in this capacity. You follow as closely as possible the dictates I give for apostles. You are not bound by vows, you can cease being an apostle at any time. But then you should no longer speak to others as an apostle, you should tell them you are no longer an apostle, but an associate if you wish to serve this way.

I want to recognize My apostles of My Sacred Heart today. Almost six years ago, the last Tuesday of August, 1994, I began calling you My Apostles of My Sacred Heart. Now six years later this is the result of that mission begun at the first core chapter meeting of the Shepherds of Christ on August 30, 1994.

I am so thankful for all the souls you have touched. I thank you for giving your lives to Me. I love you with My burning Heart of love. Oh, thank you, My beloved Apostles of My Sacred Heart in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock.

Please come forward, including servants and handmaids and Fred, to receive a blessing and special recognition and to state your desire to be a Shepherds of Christ Apostle of My Sacred Heart.

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus and prayer apostles are not the same as Apostles of the Sacred Heart.

A Eucharistic Heart of Jesus apostle spends 2 hours weekly before the Blessed Sacrament. They may also be Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, but they may only choose this lesser commitment. They follow the format for Eucharistic Heart of Jesus apostles.

Prayer apostles usually pray much at home, or sometimes in churches, for the Shepherds of Christ Movement. This may vary with each individual, how much they pray. They may or may not be Apostles of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Bring the two cards with you to the front center of the church. One card will have your name which you will give to Rita. The other card will have what you say when you express your desire to be a Shepherds of Christ Apostle of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This is a serious commitment, but I do not want you to be fearful. If you live this life, I want you to come forward and be recognized.

The major commitments for Apostles of the Sacred Heart are:

1) Daily Mass.
2) Live your consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
3) One hour daily before the tabernacle, if possible. If this is not possible at times, pray for an hour elsewhere.
4) Daily rosary.
5) Hourly prayers, if at times only the brief form.
6) Morning Offering, Shepherds of Christ prayers, Holy Spirit Novena.
7) Live the Blue Book messages.
8) Limit one's ministry to Shepherds of Christ work and studying Shepherds of Christ material.

This will vary from case to case, but this is the basic criteria.

I ask you to come forward about 3 or 4 apostles at a time beginning with the first pew for this recognition. You are coming to Me as My Apostle of My Sacred Heart. You come to the center front of My church beneath My altar. This should be solemn, no clapping, only your approaching the altar and asking to be recognized as an apostle and receive a blessing.

Before all gather I ask for this, that the Daily Prayer card and the Prayer for Union be passed out to everyone in the church, and that all recite these prayers.

I ask all to sing the Song from Jesus.

I love you My beloved Apostles of My Sacred Heart, I wish to recognize you, come forward.

I will recognize you on some future dates, if you are unsure now. You can operate as an Associate, Prayer Apostle, Apostle of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, Apostle of the Sacred Heart and pray to see if I am calling you to be a Shepherds of Christ Apostle of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. You can be recognized later when you are ready.

I love you, I am Jesus.

  

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

Mary speaks: 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.

Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light.

Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.

Messenger:    The Titanic the "unsinkable ship"

                        Do we look at our lives like this
                            sometimes?

                        Jesus used the Ark with Noah
                            The Ark saved Noah, his family
                                and the animals.

                        Is our Church the Ark?

    

   

                            See the pillars
                            The Eucharist
                            The Virgin Mary
                            The pope is at the helm of
                                the ark.

      

      

August 28, 2005 message continues

Messenger:          Beneath the sea is life even though
                        we may be unaware of it.

                            Above the clouds there may be
                        stars we do not see.

                            Beneath our skin is a beautiful
                        network of things which function
                        that keeps us alive — yet we do not
                        see our heart beat, a woman does
                        not see the egg inside that may someday
                        be a beautiful human being.

                            Mystery is all around us, but we
                        could see matter and know it is true —
                        the stars are, the fish are creatures of
                        the sea, the egg real inside the woman
                        that can become her baby some day.

                            We are so pompous, Jesus says, and
                        prideful in our ignorant ways acting
                        like we know everything.

Jesus speaks:

                            A man working on the tiniest pieces
                        of a model ship, put in each piece with such
                        precision, carefully laying one in its proper
                        order next to the other, one morning after years
                        of work on a particular model an earthquake
                        occurred and his little ship was wrecked
                        as he worked in his hands.

                            My people I watch you build your fancy
                        jacuzzis and put in all the "jets" and
                        decorations of the most magnificent baths,
                        fancy windows in southern Florida so
                        very much money above and below the sea,
                        yachts and all your boats and homes.
                        The time is spent in pleasure and game,
                        sports —

                            I sent your Mother to you in the sunny
                        state of Florida, she appeared Our Lady
                        clothed with the sun, Mary of Miracles.
                        As she appeared the Pope declared the
                        mysteries of light. Mother of Miracles —
                        I give you My site in Florida, My waters
                        of miracles, My Jesus water and Mary
                        water. Many are being healed from
                        My water I give you — cancer no more.

                        Recognize the source.

                        My Mother appeared to tell you
                        of My Movement Shepherds of Christ
                        and the Plan of the Father to help in
                        the renewal of the Church and the
                        world.

                            Now look at the Bosco Vision

  

     

August 28, 2005 message continues

Jesus speaks:  Ignore Me no longer.
                        Your boats can be remnants under the sea.
                        Even your little model ships can be shipwrecked
                        on your dining room table —

                        You see with the eyes of men and when I
                            impart My wisdom to you — you
                            hold onto your model ships, your
                            country clubs, golf clubs, tennis
                            matches and ignore the Lady of
                            Fatima in the Americas.

                        I have given My writings to you for over
                            a decade and My Movement was
                            formed with every detail long before
                            Fr. Carter's death.

                        Your priests are dwindling as I speak —
                            all gray haired, what are you
                            leaving the babies.

                            You who had churches on every corner
                        and locked up the tabernacle, ignored
                        My Blue Book letters of love.

                            Let Me out I call you before it is
                        too late — oh you say — we must lock the
                        church — you can have two people
                        doing adoration twenty-four hours a
                        day and keep the churches open.

                            You are at war and satan has staged
                        an attack to shipwreck many churches —
                        When Mary's head was knocked off there
                        was a night-watch for almost one year
                        to protect My face.

                            Your churches are closing, your priests
                        are dwindling, all gray haired and you
                        instead of listening to Me 11 years ago
                        through Fr. Carter and My messenger, close
                        the churches and the seminaries and
                        priest houses are dwindling (where there
                        are several priests living in community
                        and having a tabernacle) have barely
                        none before the Blessed Sacrament.

                            A clock is set at night and a person
                        wishes to wake in the morning. All
                        night the clock may tick and tick
                        silently, even though the one sleeping
                        does not hear it, but at day break the
                        alarm sounds and the buzzer goes off.

                            The hearts of old priests are ticking —
                        as they are forced at a late age to cover
                        three to five parishes and the stress
                        of the people, some irate to lose
                        their own priests — more churches will
                        close and more tickers in old priests
                        will sound an alarm and hopefully
                        move on to their eternal reward in
                        heaven.

    

      

 

Excerpt from Priestly Newsletter 1998 - ISSUE FOUR

    Shortly before he was to die from cancer, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin left us these inspiring words about peace: "It is the first day of November, and fall is giving way to winter. Soon the trees will lose the vibrant colors of their leaves and snow will cover the ground. The earth will shut down, and people will race to and from their destinations bundled up for warmth. Chicago winters are harsh. It is a time of dying.

    "But we know that spring will soon come with all its new life and wonder.

    "It is quite clear that I will not be alive in the spring. But I will soon experience new life in a different way...

    "What I would like to leave behind is a simple prayer that each of you may find what I have found—God's special gift to us all: the gift of peace. When we are at peace, we find the freedom to be most fully who we are, even in the worst of times. We let go of what is non-essential and embrace what is essential. We empty ourselves so that God may more fully work within us. And we become instruments in the hands of the Lord."³

Jesus speaks:  More and more priests are dying young.
                        Do you see or have you missed the
                        stars behind the clouds and the fish in
                        the sea?

                            God the Father allowed Mary to appear
                        for a decade at the end of the second
                        millennium and into the 21 century and
                        you stopped her visits by shooting off
                        her head and you ignored the clock
                        ticking.

                            No fancy baths in the richest condo
                        in sunny Florida can bring you the
                        Eucharist. These are not the issues, the
                        wealth and the enjoyment, it is that
                        you are a sleeping city and you have
                        ignored the message of
                        Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas.

                        I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God and I call
                        a code red.

                        Mary has appeared to you for over a decade
                            and you ignored her.
                            On July 5, 1994 Mary began her
                                daily visits as you see in the
                                Red Rosary Book — because of
                                people the visits of Mary was
                                halted 14 months later on
                                September 11, 1995 when My messenger
                                was told to quit delivering messages
                                at the Holy Spirit Center from Mary — (an old seminary)
                                she was only permitted to say
                                Our Fathers, Hail Marys etc. —
                                "good old familiar prayers"

                        On December 17, 1996, Mary appeared in
                            Clearwater, The Lady Clothed with
                            the Sun, Our Lady of Fatima in the
                            Americas. She appeared for 7½ years —

Your Bridegroom Waits for You (excerpt) - February 11, 1994 4:00 a.m.

Jesus:  ...Oh, My sweet ones, My chosen ones, I wait for you with My love in the tabernacle. I wait for you with your arms for this cold world. Your arms in this cold war are your hearts filled with My love. You cannot be My soldiers of love in this world if you do not first seek your union with Me. It is in the silence before the tabernacle that I minister to you. Come and do not be busy. Let Me fill you with My love...

My Heart is on fire with love of you. I give this to you in the Eucharist and in front of the tabernacle. I am there, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. Come and get your arms, get your supplies. You are going into battle in this world. You are battling evil and hate. You need your ammunition and it is found in Me. Come and I will give you your arms—My love.

Oh, how I love you. I ache in My heart for your love. You do not know how I ache to behold each of you. Please come. It is in the greatest love that I am locked up in the tabernacle. Come, please, I beg you. I love you. I want you to come. I am Jesus, Son of God and I am waiting for you this very day.

Come to Me and I will give you all you need. I love you. Jesus.

Angels Will Read the Message

December 20, 1993 - 2:40 a.m.

Jesus: Who will read the message? Angels will read the message. I will be by their side. I want the messages out. I want them out, I tell you. I want My people to hear all I am telling you. I want, not a few, but all to hear these words. They are private revelations given by Me to My people. The souls are, oh, so hungry for this one. They need to get these messages.

I am one crying in the desert. Make ready the way of the Lord. Prepare ye a path for the Master. He comes as a child in a stable. His people are asleep. Where are they and what are they doing with their busy lives? The angels will read the messages. They will rock the heavens and all will know My love and My might. From the housetops, shout this. Proclaim, "The day of the Lord is approaching. Make ready a path for Him." Will you comply with this demand to deliver a message to My people?

Time, child, is so short. You must ready all with My words of love. They are half asleep and dazed. They walk this earth with blinders on their eyes. My day will rock them off their rockers and they will know it is I with Whom they deal. No mistake will be made as to what is happening. All will see My power and My might. From the heavens shall come a sign and all will know from whence it comes. And the days that follow will be days to prepare men's hearts for My coming. I will not come unannounced. I will come with My power and My might and you will know what you will behold. Men will turn their hearts to Me with these messages. Get them out, I tell you, for their need is very great. I am patient and yet I am demanding. Ready yourself for this day of the Lord. I come as a baby into your midst, the angels sing, the choirs of heaven rejoice and you will know soon that I am very close to you all. Indeed you will know!

What awaits those in their feeble hearts! They run after such useless things when I, God, am talking in these letters. They think their world is their end. What an awakening they will have-a wide awakening!

I knock to make ready for My coming. You hear Me knock on your door in the night. Make ready this path so My people will read these letters of love. I am mighty and worthy of such praise. My people must realize My love in My intense might. What sign do you need? Do you think these messages were for your ears alone? Such power and wisdom in Rita's purse? This is not the idea. They are for all! My ease goes with you in all your undertakings to get these messages out.

Slow, too slow, I tell you. Shout My message from the housetops, that I am Lord and I am coming in your midst as a baby, but, with such might! My time is at hand. You tarry too long, My little ones. Time you do not have. This world is crazy! People are so busy at the malls. Oh, what foolish ones. I come as a baby into your midst. This is My birthday and whom do you worship? You worship idols! It is all such a sick world. Make ready My path, My little ones. Time is so short and you must not tarry any longer for into your hands I place My words for the world. They are mighty, little ones. Read them! What do you do with these words? Do you want proof? Look at Me hanging on the cross. It is out of this love of you I died a brutal death! Do you think I would not go to this extent to save the souls of My loved ones? Why would I come to this earth, give My life for all My beautiful creatures, and then, at this stage of the game, not send some mighty medicine to cure My sick little ones? You possess the mighty medicine. I mixed it with such love and I hand-deliver each message to shake My people to My love. The heavens will rock and the Son of Man will appear on a cloud and the glory of the Lord will be shown on high!

Get busy, you little people. The angels declare My words are given here. This is My gift to My people-distinct, clear letters proclaiming My love. Are you listening? Do you think I would not try everything to save My beloved ones?

Oh, I will go to any extent to save these little ones, so ornery and so stupid in their ways, so sinful in this evil world, but so precious to Me. I will come in My glory and I want every last soul.

I am God. Why would I not speak to you? I wait for you. I wait, I wait, but you are all so blind and dense. What you do is so silly. Your ways here have become sick and your hearts have become hard. But shout it from the housetops! I loved you to My death! I love you all in your sickness. I want you united under the mantle of My mother, praying and honoring God.

America, turn yourselves around before it is too late. Come and heed My harkening. Come, come, My children. Time is so short and a lot of mending must be done in your hearts. You have hardened them and now they must come back to life. Only I can give you this life in your hearts.

Heed My words here. I am gentle and kind in heart. My heart is a heart of love. I have hand-delivered these messages to My people and you are My delivery boys. Get them going, little ones. You tarry too much.

My gift to My people is My love this Christmas. I am showering all at this Center with grace this season. The devotion there pleases Me, but more must flock and they will be changed from hardened hearts to hearts for God. I am God, little ones. I came and I died a brutal death. I am calling to you all to deliver this now. Make this your top priority so they will hear My message of love and know the love I have for them. Do not tarry. Do this today, little ones.

August 13, 2005 Retreat

Messenger:  I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love. 

    Today is the day that we end the retreat. We've been down here praying for 4 days, this is the 4th day. And we really did pray all day. My mom wasn't doing good but Doris stayed up there and I think she gave her lots of fluid maybe that helped her come out of the woods. So I mean she was bad when I came down here - Tuesday night she was in the hospital. I thought, oh God, she's going to die. But I knew Jesus was telling me to pray so I came down here and Doris went to the nursing home. They released her and she was in there and fed her lots of water. She's 95. And it's my step-mom but you still don't want her to go. You know how that is?

    I just kept trusting more and more in God and she's doing real good. Right Doris? John went up there with me Tuesday night and he held one of her hands and she couldn't talk. I guess she was dehydrated but they said she also had pneumonia and a bladder inflection. But she acted different after she just got fluid in her. So John held one of her hands and she couldn't talk or nothing but she indicated to him that she wanted both of his hands. So he held both of her hands all night and he said it was like the Blessed Mother. And I think that made the difference. John and I just kept praying and praying and I felt when I left, they left her go back to the nursing home about midnight and then I felt that if she didn't get the fluid the next day she would just be dead. Then Doris went down and fed her lots of fluid. She's been by her side all week so I could stay down here. 

    And I can successfully say that this is one of the best retreats. We were really close like in a bubble in here praising God and loving God and praying for the whole world and for our priests. And I felt a deep, deep, deep presence of God with us. So today to end this special days of prayer I want to invite you to think about your vocation in the Shepherds of Christ. I never know what's going to happen to myself. 

    Last month I got up here, and I was only going to come up here and tell you about the video. I got up here to tell you about the Mass, the next thing I knew Our Lord just took over. And I could feel myself, when I gave that talk last month, when I was up here in the corner - He was talking through me and I mean, at times inside myself I'm saying "wow", but the words are just coming like this and even the hand movements. You know if you were a sane person you wouldn't be doing what I was doing up here when I was giving that talk last month. 

    But God really directed that talk and Doris transcribed that for us. And when you look at the talk of last month, which I hope you will have a copy by the time you leave. We sent some people disc, we tried to send every body that was here a disc of that. I mean if that didn't happen for you, we can make you a copy if we have it with us or if somebody has a copy. We can make like ten of them in 5 minutes or something. But we also had a DVD of it but Emily had to take the voice off of the tape - she assured me that my hand motions were in sync with my voice cause it wouldn't make any sense if I was going like this when I was saying something else. But she told me they were in sync and I looked at it myself and it looked like it just could have been a hair off but I wasn't sure. But I thought that you should have the whole effect of what went on here last month. 

    What went on here last month was what I call a ball of fire message. That message was so powerfully delivered and it had a lot of meat to it that you could outline it and see just what He was saying. I just went up here to tell you about the video and the next thing I knew — but there was really a lot to that message and if you were here you know what I'm talking about. That was just a very important message. It's experiences like that and messages that I get from Our Lord that make me almost cry after communion because I feel sorrow because of the old priests. There's mostly old priests and then there's so few young priests. And yet there's joy in the talk that I am giving right now in the fact that God has chosen me and you to be Shepherds of Christ. And what does that mean? 

    Well, there's two things that He said are most important in the Shepherds of Christ, And we don't always see with the vision of God but I know what He has imparted to me. The number one function of the Shepherds of Christ is the Priestly Newsletter. Now to us it may look like one newsletter is going out and a second newsletter and it's not too important, but to God it's the Don Bosco vision. 

    He made these points in that talk that I gave last month. That the priest shortage could be alleviated first if every priest would say the Mass every day like they should and not skip Mass. That was one thing that's real important, that all the Masses that can be said are out there, that they're not taking a vacation for a week and not saying Mass. There's so much grace that comes out of one Mass and that's why another message that I got said why evil is running rampant because there's fewer and fewer Masses. When I was a kid there was like 3 Masses up at my parish every day. There's a tremendous amount of grace that is released from the Mass being celebrated and we as members of the body of Christ are united to all those Masses going on. 

    That's why it's important that being called to the Shepherds of Christ, we are called as intercessors to lead our lives as an offering praying for the priests, the Church and the world. Yesterday I just had such a realization how God has called us to be these intercessors. And in order to be deep intercessors, whether we're praying or offering our lives as a sacrifice, in order to be these deep intercessors, He has taught us how to do that. 

    From the 13ths that I did in this church in 1997 when I would be up here and Jesus would give us messages during the rosary that would tell us how to be united to the Mass, how to give our hearts to Jesus and Mary. All of that was His teaching over this course of how many years since we've had the 13ths. The teaching from Jesus to be ever more holy, which makes us a better intercessor and to be able to live this vocation He has given to us as Shepherds of Christ, which is the giving of our lives in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, that sacrifice or offering for the priests, the Church and the world. 

    You know somebody else doesn't understand how you think. You think like this. You read the Blue Books, you read the Apostles Manual, you been to the 13ths — you're aware of that Mass going on around the world all day. And some priest has said, "Well you people pray too much." This is our vocation. Our vocation is at every moment that we live an offering of ourselves as Shepherds of Christ. If I'm at work or wherever I am, doing God's will in love is the offering, that's not that we are down on our knees all day praying. And so Betty stays here and prays and Sophie prays at Morrow - that's their vocation. Our vocation is to live the way that God has intended us to. 

    I ate cake on my birthday, I knew that was God's will, I loved it. And my grandkids made it, so I ate most of the cake. I don't know if that was God's will. I know it was God's will to eat some. But anyway, isn't that great? That I can bring down grace for the world eating cake on my birthday. I did it in love. I was doing God's will in love, so I should have got a lot of grace for the Shepherds of Christ. 

    But that's what we are to be doing - we are to be doing whatever it is that God has asked us to do, growing in greater holiness in love of Him and love of one another. So today we're going to have about maybe 10 Blue Books — Blue Book IV — but it's been on the internet. And we've been working on this Blue Book for like 3 months because when we put out a publication everything has to be perfect. On the Blue Book IV, it's really important. The Blue Book I  has messages from Jesus, Blue Book II - messages from Jesus, Blue Book III  has messages from Jesus, Blue Book IV was when Mary started appearing to me. 

    While I did Blue Book IV, Fr. Carter wrote the first newsletter. Fr. Carter compiled the prayers for the prayer manual, Fr. Carter wrote the Spirituality Handbook, Fr. Carter did the Tell My People book all in that summer and Mary appeared to me every day. Now do you think that that's a time of history when God was giving to us great grace to follow this mission, to be able to take this mission and to put it into practice. 

    When he died it was all in place, right? We basically have not changed. We have gotten the Jesus' water. That's what somebody reminded me once when I said that, Mary's head got knocked off. But when he died every thing else was like put in place. So the gifts that God has given to us is in our vocation, in our realization of what it is to be more deeply united and to live this life as an intercessor in the Shepherds of Christ. 

    So the number one function is the newsletter and it's up to all of us to pray for that newsletter. Now why? Okay. In the talk last month it was very defined.  1) Was that the priest should say the Mass every day.  2) Was that they need to spend an hour before the Blessed Sacrament.  3) Was to have these prayer chapters that we have in the prayer manual centered in the consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the  4) Was their union with Mary. 

    The newsletter is what Jesus said in one of the messages - it's like the Don Bosco vision. You've probably all seen the Don Bosco vision. So there's the arc, and then there's the pope, there's the Eucharist, there's Mary. 

    What did God the Father and Jesus say is going to make the difference to help alleviate the shortage of priests? It's the hour before the tabernacle. It's the Eucharist. It's Mary. It's consecration. It's the Mass. So in sending the newsletter on Mary and the Eucharist to the 72,000 priests, consistently through the talk, Jesus as He delivered that message to me kept telling the people that were in the church how this is a summit newsletter. 

    In the words of the late Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, he delivers a succinct message in his writings about Mary and the Eucharist and the rosary and the selections that Father chose. And we sent it out to 72,000 priests and some bishop the other day just sent us a piece of paper with 3 columns of priests names that he wants to get the newsletter. What I'm noticing from what we're getting back from the bishops and the cardinals is that they're asking, more than ever before, for additional copies. We had 85,000 printed, we sent out 75,000. We have 10,000 left. We've given some of them like on the 13ths, some down in Florida. 

    But the thing of it is, is that is really wonderful that these bishops are saying, you know, we like this so much send us all these copies. You know I was praying and I just want to cry after communion because I feel sorrow. I want to do something for the babies that aren't even born and are not going to have the availability of the priests. And the thing of it is, is we don't have to look too far, I mean even my brother, they gave him another church down town. 

    And you know, I know I went to West Virginia, they closed two and they got 3 churches and 1 priest and they're all mad, cause they had a priest. Get down on your knees and beg God to help us. Getting mad at the priest ain't going to do any good, you lucky you got one in 3 parishes. So I remember I went to that West Virginia parish and he was just like sweating. The people were like mean and you know, I thought, oh man, you know. 

    But the thing of it is, is what we have to pray for are for all the needs of the priests, the priests that are elderly and maybe are getting stuck with 3 parishes, not being stuck. I don't mean to say it like it's a bad thing, but it can be a cross. But this is what I do, I come to this conclusion, first of all, I realized because Our Lord said how important the newsletter is. I realized that my own answers are there if I just listen to God, the next newsletter cause we keep praying for Father, so you got to pray. I mean all day what do you do? Well, I'm not telling you all day to sit and pray. But a lot of us pray every hour or if I can't pray every hour then I'm doing my work, but then if I'm in the car or Emily or Joe or I are going down to Florida we're going to pray every half hour if we can while we are doing some work. And it works. I mean we don't have money and then we start our prayers, oh boy what are we going to do, we really got to pray, that's what we do. 

    This Movement is being run by God. God gives to us when we need it, but He demands our prayers. He has called us to be Shepherds of Christ. He's called us to be united as this members in the body of Christ praying in a special way for the priests, the Church and the world. It's our vocation. Somebody else may not have been given the grace that we've been given but you also have to see a plan of Jesus and Mary to lead the world into this deeper life of consecration and deeper bridal union with Christ through the training that we've been given. You've gotten trained if you read the daily message, if you live by the Blue Books, if you come on the 13ths, if you just follow this plan. Kids go to school to be brain surgeons, they have to learn a lot of stuff. 

    I just thought of this song, I probably shouldn't do it in here. That's where temptation gets me, I hear something funny and then I have to restrain myself. About the kids that go to school and learn a lot junk and then they flunked. But that's what happens with the kids that go. My daughter's a doctor and she went to school a lot of years. 

    Jesus has had us in school for a lot of years, do you know that. Why did He have us in school for a lot of years? To be intercessors. Because what is the purpose of the Shepherds of Christ Movement if it isn't the Priestly Newsletter - A Number 1 and A Number 2 prayer for the priests, the Church and the world. And the prayer is not only the prayer manuals. The prayer is the way of life, the connection to the Mass all through the day, realizing that our lives given in the Morning Offering, united to the Mass can help to bring down great grace. We are really intercessors. 

    We are Shepherds of Christ praying for our priests shepherds and it's a great calling that God has given to us and in giving it to us — the saints weren't the same as some of the people. They knew God very intimately and a lot of those saints just lived their lives for souls because they knew the reality of how important their individual life lived in a special way united to God can help bring down grace so that the world will be the way that God wants it to be so that the souls can be helped in going in the right direction to heaven. So to each one of you that here today I want to congratulate you because God has called each and every one of us to a very special vocation. And the vocation that He has called us to has led us to His own special training to be deep intercessors and to live in great intimacy with Him. 

    What are the Blue Books all about? As we worked on the Blue Books every day and night and day and night, Blue Book IV, more and more — Father's always talking about a teabag that seeps in hot water — more and more, I became rooted in the letters of God about His love and the God that the world does not know is making Himself known in those letters. God is love. God is this personal with each and every one of us. God can feed the hungry soul. 

    This is the message that we have to deliver. When you know a person is ready for the Blue Book, and Jesus said now to give it to the priest, when you know a person is ready for a Blue Book, you are giving them the letter of God's love. This is what is missing out there. The realization of how true it is that God is on fire for love of us, like He speaks of in the 4th Blue Book. I mean I'm trying with all my heart to get it out there and it's on the daily writings. It's so beautiful. I mean I just get up and we keep checking it and checking it, Fr. Carter discerned most of it and we keep checking it and reading it and I can see my own life changing. I mean I'm really absorbed in it. 

    But I've decided instead of when I'm frustrated talking about people that I could express that emotion by going like this and at least I haven't said nothing nasty, of course everybody will think I'm nuts. So you are sitting there and you're thinking about who did this, — oi oi oi — and where you might have said something to somebody before, "you know what they did", then just lately I've just been deciding, well I'll just express it in my eyes because then I don't make any kind of noise that way, so you just sit there and go like this. Of course they will probably crate me away, especially my husband. What did you tell me - to take my spelt in a bottle. I can't remember how that came up. 

    I mean I got a lot to learn. The more we interact with each other which is what God wants. God. I can't do this work unless we are all working together. I mean I don't have the liberty to say well you know, "Well I'm going to do it myself" and then go sit over in the corner. If I decide to do that then all the writings and the experiences and those things are not going to get out there but the devil knows exactly the right button to push and I see it more and more. You know, you can be doing something and you're all ready to do and then somebody comes over and they say something and then you get mad and you think that's the end of that. Is that fair to do that to Jesus? 

    And then you realize really how you are being manipulated by the devil, all he has to do is come up and get you flustered, boy and you're out of there. And when you're out there you say, "But I really wanted to do that", then why did you go, you know. I mean he can just manipulate us and we can give in. 

    That's why the Divine Mercy that's on that tape is so important. We did it in church about two days ago. It has all those things that we need to pray for on it. Do you like the picture of all of us that did it? That's why I said, "Jesus told me to put all of our heads up there" I guess you get a laugh before you look at it. She did it the way I saw it. Well then somebody said "Look at Jesus' face, looking at us." He's having mercy on us I hope because we need lots of mercy. Did everybody get a Divine Mercy? Oh Sr. Rita didn't get a Divine Mercy. — Oh they are still working on it. Well when you see it, you'll know what I'm talking about. But you know at the centers, everyday we are going to play the Divine Mercy because it has the very things we have to pray for. 

    I am filled to the brim with the realization that this is God's Movement and the only way it's going to work is if we all keep praying. It depends on your prayers, it depends on us being united, it depends on us having faith. It depends on us living like the people God is talking about in the 4th Blue Book. And how is God talking about living in the 4th Blue Book? One is a realization how deeply God loves us because He says it over and over and over again in the 4th Blue Book, "I love you, I love you, I love you."

    And you get out of bed in the morning and you think, oh boy, I got gray hairs and I'm fat. When I am doing this Blue Book, more and more I get up and I think of those messages that God has given. And I think of how many times He said in them, "I love you, I love you" — this is how God is. This is what the world needs. This is what the world is hungering for, and then you get up and from doing those messages, I start to get a burning in my heart to realize that the Divine God is real and He is love and this is how He is. 

    In all the pictures that are out there that are talking about love or the evil in the world is not what it's all about. It's about Jesus hanging on the cross, the Son of God, who gave Himself, so that we would have life eternal. And we who He has called as Shepherds of Christ can identify with Him more every minute because of the gifts that He has given to us to realize how much we love souls. I can say I love souls. I can cry in a second. 

    I remember reading a book a long time ago when I was young. And it was a paragraph out of Sr. Faustina and she just loved the souls and I thought "Oh boy" and I have read very, very, very little, but I can honestly say from the gifts that God has given to me in this Movement, that I love the souls. I can identify more deeply with Him and that giving of my life for the sake of souls.

    I remember in 1995 getting a message that said, "I will give you gifts greater than I have given to the greatest saints." It's there, just read the 4th Blue Book. Are we not recognizing the fact that God continuously tells us how much He loves us? 

    You know sometimes we just create our own problems. We give into our feelings. We start to feel irritated, that's another thing, the devil can just come and he can press on your feelings or give you an old memory. I mean it's like an old memory comes up and I'm sick of that too. Cause you get an old memory and you can be mad at somebody for two weeks. It's that stupid? And then I think, "Well you really wanted to go out with him and laugh." So then you just got to say, "Well there's some days I don't feel good and then they didn't feel good today and then they just didn't even think when they were saying that, but anyway I want to have fun." 

    I don't want to live by satan's old traps and that's just what they are. Did you ever see a bear go through the woods and somebody's got a trap there? I never saw one, but I hope that this makes sense. But anyway so the bear walks right into the trap and he can't get out or any trapped animal if there's not traps big enough for bears. I don't have any idea because I'm not a hunter. But the imagery in there of the trap and an animal that's going dee da dee da dee da dee da dee and then all of a sudden — plut! — and then they're just stuck. 

    It's like us. Have you been there? Have you been in church and you are so close to God and you are feeling real good and you can stay there and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and pray with all of your soul for grace to be released, and you're really enjoying those favors of God and then all of a sudden you're going dee da dee da dee da dee and then the trap - plut!  And then the rest of the Mass you're mad. How can you be mad or whatever? I'm sure I'm not the only person that is doing this. 

    I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it - because the devil is real and the devil talks in our heads like a little radio. But God has given us the grace to discipline our wills. And when you get out of bed in the morning use the Blue Books, use the Blue Books before you go to bed, listen to how God is speaking, that He loves us so much and let's quit giving into the devil. We have to get along to do this work. 

    If I have to get along with everybody to get the Blue Books out there, and you don't know what I have to get along with, I'm only kidding. I have such support that its — God has blessed us all in the people that He's brought in the Movement. But if we have to get along with each other to help the souls — what are we living for? And that's how the devil works, the devil comes in and you really got an agenda, you got an agenda that you know God has given you to do and then all of a sudden, one little thing goes wrong and the devil loves to make the people feel like they got to flee, I mean leave, by exerting pressure. 

    When Jesus gave me all the messages in the Blue Book and He talked about the devil and the pressure of the devil, I didn't have any idea what that was about. I remember Sr. Rita told me that once, she said that the devil works in secret. I didn't know that. I didn't know what I know today. Priests and people in the world don't know the things that God has told us in the messages to unveil the working of satan. And yet it's like when I got the first Blue Book and all the turmoil in my life, suffering - before I got the first Blue Book, before I got the first messages in 91. 

    And then it was like so simple when He comes up and He says I have all the power and nobody can have power over you and don't be afraid, and all the things that He for six months told me how fearful I was. I never even knew I was fearful. But when you look at your parents or other people that are around you, if they think that way, you can pick those things up. We've got Jesus holding our hand today that's saying to us, "I am here, I am truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. I have given to you My letters of love and they are real." If the Church or the people in the church do not want to read the Blue Book messages, they are missing the gift that God has given. 

    But to you as a main person in the Shepherds of Christ He has called us to be likened to saints, to be deeper in our holiness, to be greater intercessors, to live a greater life of purity and to live a life of joy. Because to know Jesus is joy. And what's going to happen more and more as the Masses decrease, there's going to be less and less grace that is released and Jesus said the evil will run rampant. But He has given us the answer. 

    He said the priests all need to say their Mass every day, they need to do their hour before the Blessed Sacrament. Where we may have held back before giving the priest the Blue Book, give him the Blue Book II, tell him about the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, do all that you can to encourage priests to spend time before the Blessed Sacrament — fight for that time. We don't want our churches locked. Isn't that awful? On Sunday all the churches are locked. What are they - afraid that somebody's going to go in there and steal a candlestick? I mean God is in there! Let's lock Him up because you might lose a $200 candlestick. 

    We need to have the vision that God has given to us in this Movement. We need to grow in greater holiness. We need to learn what the Our Father says - the whole Our Father — "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name" - love His name for all the people that use it so dishonorable and they do it ignorantly. That's where the thing is at, we don't have to worry about what their sins are — all we have to do is try to love God the way He deserves, to love the Our Father more — "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come" our lives are lived to help build the kingdom of God, "thy will be done" what a prayer, God — "thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread" — what a gift — "forgive us our trespasses" this is the hard part "as we forgive those who trespass against us" 

    Now how can we say five rosaries a day and then while you're sitting there saying your rosary — oi oi oi — and somebody comes out and says something and makes you mad and then you decide the rest of the day you aren't going to do what you suppose to do. Do we want to do that to Jesus? 

    The devil plays us like a little violin and all day if we play this negative tapes in our mind, "you're fat, you're ugly" - my fat ones are mine, those are the ones that I hear. If we play the negative tapes all day, it's like having the meanest friend on your shoulder hollering mean stuff at your head all day. Well you'd take him and knock him off, wouldn't you? 

    But we let him say stuff to us and then at the end of the day we put our head on the pillow and where we could have shared love if we would have disciplined our will and begged for the grace to grow in greater holiness, we missed those moments of interaction with people that we love because of habits. Because of ways of acting that are really just not going to bring us happiness. And so there is not one of us in this church that can not realize that we're just plain old all imperfect. I don't know if I said that right, but the bottom line is, I'll say it straight on — We're just all imperfect — everyone of us is just imperfect. 

    And we have to think about the words that Jesus gave to us in the Our Father — "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us" — we have to control our wills. I'm telling you from messages from God that the devil is going to run more and more rampant and you can't sit around all day angry every time somebody does something or we're just playing into him. 

    God has called you to be a Shepherd of Christ, to be strong, to lead the strayed ones home to His Heart and to be with Him for all eternity, to help in this special mission — in dealing with the priest shortage and the renewal of the Church and the world. You know I just watched the priests get more and more discredited by stuff, that's what satan just attacks authority. The Church is a special bulwark - a defender - a strong pillar — 

    The Church is the bride of Jesus Christ and He loves her and how can we not love her when we have been given such a gift in the Holy Eucharist and the Sacraments of Baptism, Confession and the other Sacraments. How can we not love the Church when God has given to us the priest who can bring this to us. Now just let's all stop and think a minute — so this is like a game of risk, except it's real. And God wants the souls to go to eternal life and the devil is the other side and he wants them to go to hell for all eternity. 

    Now if you were the devil where would you start? Wouldn't you start on those priests? They're bringing you the Divine God truly present in which this major source of grace flows because He's truly present in His Divinity and Humanity. So every bit of work that you do, you know you're at warfare. And that's O.K. because the gift of that is that very thing that's leading us to greater holiness, that's leading us to see where we never would have seen before because I'm just going to stand out there and be by myself and if you tick me off then I'm just going to go do it by myself. 

    But I'm not going to do it by myself, I learned that when I did the Red Rosary Book and He's been teaching me that every day. Now if you like the things that Jesus has given to you, you know that it came through a learning process, in my own life to work together, times when I may have felt like spending time in front of the tabernacle. If He's calling me to do this, I may only have 5 years left, I have all these Blue Books there. What should I do? I should find Christ in My brother and that is what He says in the Blue Book, look into his face and grow together the way God intends us to. We will be as God wants the Church to be - this body united. 

    The world, if they got a problem, gets a divorce. I don't know what the priest said yesterday. I thought he said like 3/4 of the people get divorced. People don't grow in that deep intimacy with one another and work on their differences. It's just too easy. If some people stay married, he goes his way, she goes their way. But together a husband and wife is a special gift, that they can pray deeply, especially if you're both in the Shepherds of Christ. I mean we need that. The devil is a devil - I have that to say. 

    And in the messages that God has given, not the messages yesterday and the day before, but the daily messages all the way back and then Blue Books all the way back, He is unveiling the workings of satan in our lives so that we can grow to be more one cause the answer is that the Catholic Church is one, holy, catholic, apostolic — one — the family must be one. So why wouldn't the devil do that? 

    I mean just look at some war. So if you want this for your side then what are you going to do? Well the devil is just going to go right in there and try to take the priest out. And then if he can get the families divided, so you got divorced people, and people aren't with their kids on holidays and pain and sorrow and all that stuff. Kids not living with their parent and I mean that's the new thing - the other thing is the children. Before they're three years old they're going over the airport and they are seeing the whole wall full of nudes. I mean even in the grocery store. 

    Somebody was telling me yesterday about going to church. I know what goes on in church, some old guy like an old lady, like I am, but some old guy goes in there and then some seductive type looking woman just goes sits right in front of him. I mean isn't that awful? But they're ignorant. I don't think that it's animosity why they are doing it, they are just not aware. 

    But do you know in one second God can give such a grace as it says in the Bible that they can see with the light of seven suns. I'm telling you what we're doing is God's Movement, it's reaching the nursing home with the morning offering, all those people that are in there all day! All they got to do is say "I offer up everything I do in union with the Mass for the priest, the Church and the world." and a ton of grace can - and then tell them - your live is so important like it says on the Say Daily card. 

    The children - we got to reach the children in the school with the rosary. The rosary is a great gift but Our Lady appeared as Our Lady of Clearwater for 7½  years. We need to still circulate that image. Children like the story of Fatima. They do. My granddaughter when she was like 3 was loving that. They said every time she went to the grotto she'd get down on her knees. And I wasn't talking to her, my sister-in-law was taking care of her while my daughter was at work when she had to go.

    The suffering is in knowing what we know and knowing that we are entirely dependent upon God, that's suffering. The suffering is in sharing in Christ's passion as He hung on the cross, knowing the souls that would be lost forever, despite the blood He shed and His death.

    The rosary is such a gift and God has made us all very aware of those mysteries of the rosary. Where would you be without the mysteries of the rosary and the Mass in your mind? Wouldn't life almost seem to be lifeless? God has given us so many gifts. 

    Today we want to pray the Divine Mercy. Hopefully the way we did it on this disc we are going to give you. You'll see all of our heads and think we're nuts, but the prayers are good. So with all of our hearts let us join together, and please say yes, say yes to Jesus, yes to loving Him more, yes to loving yourself more because that's all He's telling us in those Blue Books. It's a love that no human person can give to us. It comes from the Divine God, a Divine Person on fire for love of you and me to the point where He gave Himself on the cross and remains with us truly present in the Blessed Sacrament. Get the messages from Blue Book IV off the internet until we get it out. Read them and feel the love of Jesus penetrate your heart. 

    Beg for the grace to be enlightened about our own imperfections and to grow in greater holiness and in so doing that we will be helping all the souls of this earth and helping ourselves have a higher place in heaven for all eternity. God is love and He is teaching us about that in this Movement. You have been trained to love the Church, love the priest, love the souls, love Him, Mary, the angels and saints, and one another. For what is there to life if we follow the road of satan which is to lead to hatred forever. 

    We are the Shepherds of Christ on the front line of battle, fighting with all of our hearts filled with love, our arms are our hearts filled with love. That's not just love for God, that's saying you're sorry, that's building His Kingdom, that's working with each other, that's asking the Holy Spirit to come and enlighten us to see where we must grow, that's being in love with souls to the point that we want to change ourselves in greater purity, to pray more deeply and give our lives as an offering and looking at Christ on the cross and saying to Him "Jesus I give You myself totally and completely and I want to serve and love You, help me, show me Your way." Amen.

    There's two songs I want to do before the Divine Mercy. The one is - This is the Feast of Victory. Every time you come here Jesus is speaking to you and when we live a more pure life, when we grow in greater love of Him and others, it is a feast of Victory. And one day when we're all in heaven, we'll all be up there with our little red prayer manuals and we still won't know the prayers by heart. Oh this book don't have cords, I can't play out of that one. 

    We're going to try this again. This is the Feast of Victory. And when we pray the Divine Mercy I ask you to keep this with you, if you want more, we can give you another one or put it on a tape and just really keep the intentions in it in your heart. We also would like to give you a copy of that talk that I did last time. I have a hard copy and if you did not get a disc or you want a tape or a disc, we can mail it to you if we can't get it to you today. But it only takes a few minutes if we have one.

Song:  This is the Feast of Victory

Messenger:  And we want to do Change Our Hearts and we sing this song, we sing this song for the whole world, naturally for ourselves. Number 394 in the Gather.

Song:  Change Our Hearts

Messenger:  Does this sound like us?

Sing:  ... one foot in paradise, one in the waste

Song:  Change Our Hearts   -   Sing!

Messenger:  Sing for the whole world!

Sing:  Change Our Hearts -  refrain

Messenger:  We have to look at Fr. Carter and the fact that Fr. Carter planted all these seeds and we see that the fields are getting dryer and dryer and goldener and goldener and we're all getting a little older or grayer or toothless. That's bad. That's when I should have did my eyes.

    This is a song that Jesus wants us to sing and to think about our role in the Shepherds of Christ. For some day I will be gone and I hope that you, if you are still here, will carry out this mission for Jesus, not for me. That you will tell the world of His letters of love, that you will help the world to know what Jesus has told His priests in the newsletter, and help spread the prayer chapters and the rosary.

Song:  Come With Me Into the Fields

Messenger:  And Jesus cries to us to come into the fields and to plant the seeds. And He promises to us that He will provide the sunlight and the rain. But if we do not go into the field and plant the seed - how can it grow? 

    And we said this this morning, but in our lives we do want to watch where our things come from, our thoughts and things — there's an evil spirit, a good spirit and some things come from our own minds. And praying to the Holy Spirit avidly and thinking about the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will be more alive inside of us for He gives to us great grace. And we want the Holy Spirit giving us His ideas, His inspirations and not the evil spirit. So let's make a special pack that we are going to go from here and sing Come Holy Ghost and do the Holy Spirit prayers and really ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten us and help us to always be doing God's will in love. 

Song:  Lord Send Out Your Spirit   -   Sing!

Messenger:  Again!

Song:  Lord Send Out Your Spirit - refrain - instrumental

Messenger:  And now we sang to the Holy Spirit. And we love you God the Father and we love the name of God and we worship You, and we honor You, and we give You every bit of ourselves God and we sing Father Number 1.

Song:  Abba Father

Messenger:  Jerry will you fix that up there. This is a song that we sang long ago. And we sang to the Holy Spirit, we sang to the Father, we sang to Mary at Mass, and this is a song that involves the Spirit and also Jesus. And its a song that we use to sing a lot sometimes.

Song:  Spirit Song   -   Sing!

Messenger:  That's pretty hard, you know, that's easy to sing this. This is a good one.

Sing:  Lift your hands in sweet surrender to His Name

Messenger:  Yesterday we just had a little talk about how a lot of times we just kind of like have our own agenda and the example that He gave is this. If there is a guy that thinks that he has to eat a plum at 10:00 every day and he doesn't get to eat his plum, he can be nasty for an hour before anticipating whether somebody is going to interfere with his plum time and having gone through a trial and not being able to eat the plum at precisely 10:00 he may become snarly for a week but it interferes with the anticipation of the plum the next day but somehow he works it out. I don't know how he does it. 

    But that could be classified as having your own agenda. If we have an agenda, unless we have diabetes or something where we just have to have our plum at a certain time and if somebody interferes with it we get really nasty. We may be inordinately attached to the plum time and it may take a little bit of looking at ourselves to see that that's an inordinate attachment. An inordinate attachment is one in which we are attached in ways that are just not according to God's will.

Song:  Spirit Song

Messenger:  Should we sing that again.

Sing:  Lift your hands in sweet surrender to His Name

Song:  Spirit Song   -   Sing!

Jesus speaks:  To you I have given great instruction — instruction to come ever closer to My Heart and to love Me ever deeper. Remember from this talk this day to pray the Our Father with all your heart, to mean every word. I am your beloved Jesus and I love you with undying love.

Sing:  Jesus, Oh Jesus Come and Fill Your Lambs, 
          Jesus, Oh Jesus Come and Fill Your Lambs

Messenger:  And we pray for all the needs of the Shepherds of Christ and Father with the newsletter and all the priests that come to China here to help us. And Don and Donna and Tom and Melanie and all of you who have special health needs, we pray for all of you. And we hope that the Jesus water works a miracle in your lives. And there is a man that's getting operated on on Monday, I told him we would pray for him and another lady got operated on Thursday. We pray for all of our families and ask that the blood of Jesus will be spread on the whole Movement, the whole Church and the world, and anybody that touches the Movement and all the priests, consecrate all of our hearts, and all the people we've just prayed for, ourselves and our families, cast the devil far away and beg with all of our hearts for the coming of the Holy Spirit. 

    Dear God today we will do as You asked us to do which is to do the Divine Mercy and to give to the people the materials that you have asked them to take and to study, the songs which is the mission of the Shepherds of Christ - In My Heart that is song by Joe Lee. And the purpose of this is this is where the Church needs to go - to realize more and more the burning love in the Heart of Jesus, to dwell in His Heart, to live in His Heart, to be one with Him. As you listen to this song - it was one that we found on a tape in the basement that my daughter just sang like over in the corner. As you listen to it pray, it's so beautiful but pray in your heart as you listen - that the world will know the love of the Sacred Heart like that. And Jesus wanted Joe's picture on the front and the red to remind us all of what it is to go to His red, on fire Heart because He loves us so much. 

    There's a songs and message tape that Joe and I did that's really nice that has some messages from the 4th Blue Book, then 1995 a message from Mary, then 1996 the message - "I stood beneath the cross", but it's real beautiful with the Lady of Clearwater song on it - so that's the other tape. Then there's the Divine Mercy tape and then there's Joe just singing the Lady of Clearwater song if you want to listen to that sometimes. 

    And so today we are going to do the Divine Mercy and the reason Our Lord wants us to do this is to really pray deeply united. But you know we always need funds so we are praying real hard for the funds. We would like to have like an apostle trailer or something here so that some people could come down here and stay and pray. We need your help with the adoration. If you're around any time, I don't mean if you have to come far, but if you are in this vicinity and you can help us with the adoration we do need that. The prayer power is what does it. You know if you are further and you can't come here for adoration, you're an Apostle of the Eucharistic Heart, please really, really do that, cause we rely on your prayers, I mean we really do need you praying for us in front of the Blessed Sacrament. 

    And when you go to Mass giving your hearts to Jesus and Mary and just trying to be in that Mass as deep as you can. This Movement is only running on the prayer power and God answers us by our prayers, I'm telling you. So please just help us that way, whenever you're praying just try to pray real deep, tell satan to go get the heck out of here and just pray really, really hard. And pray for us. 

    And the benefits of praying those Shepherds of Christ prayers which do not take long every day are enormous. The promises are on the internet but we have copies of those if you want us to mail them to you. Glaci tells all the people on the phone, she answers the phone pretty much and she's great that way cause they call in and she says "Shepherds of Christ" and she kind of giggles, he-he-he — and she starts telling them about all the ministries - so that's her function is to really tell people about that. Each and every one of you are vital to this mission and we need you. Please help us. You are a Shepherd of Christ when you get up in the morning, when you sleep you are still a shepherd of Christ. Amen.

Matthew 25: 31-46

The Last Judgement

‘When the Son of man comes in his glory, escorted by all the angels, then he will take his seat on his throne of glory. All nations will be assembled before him and he will separate people one from another as the shepherd separates sheep from goats. He will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left. Then the King will say to those on his right hand, "Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take as your heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you made me welcome, lacking clothes and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me." Then the upright will say to him in reply, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome, lacking clothes and clothe you? When did we find you sick or in prison and go to see you?" And the King will answer, "In truth I tell you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me." Then he will say to those on his left hand, "Go away from me, with your curse upon you, to the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you never gave me food, I was thirsty and you never gave me anything to drink, I was a stranger and you never made me welcome, lacking clothes and you never clothed me, sick and in prison and you never visited me." Then it will be their turn to ask, "Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty, a stranger or lacking clothes, sick or in prison, and did not come to your help?" Then he will answer, "In truth I tell you, in so far as you neglected to do this to one of the least of these, you neglected to do it to me." And they will go away to eternal punishment, and the upright to eternal life.’

 

                            Then in Matthew after this Chapter 26 we see the
                                conspiracy against Jesus, we
                                see "the woman who anointed Jesus
                                with perfumed oil" and how
                                they judged her and Jesus was
                                pleased at her love for Him  —

                            We see then in Matthew  — the betrayal
                                of Judas  —

                            Jesus told them to prepare for the Passover  —
                            And the 12 set at table and amongst
                            them was the betrayer Judas  — Then the
                            the last supper

 

Matthew 26: 26-30

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. ‘Take it and eat,’ he said, ‘this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, ‘Drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. From now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in the kingdom of my Father.’

After the psalms had been sung they left for the Mount of Olives. 

 

                                We then see Jesus tells them that
                            the sheep will be dispersed  —
                            and they will have their faith shaken  —
                            And Jesus foretold Peter's denial  —

                            So we see Judas the betrayer  — deep in
                                darkness who would despair and
                                hang himself.

                            So we see Peter who denied Jesus,
                                but Jesus made head of the Church  —

                            How is the heart  —

                            When one continues to sin  — his
                                darkness becomes darker
                                and his heart further and further
                                from God because of pride  —

                            But Peter, too denied Christ, but
                                his love for God  — his heart
                                was a heart of virtue  — Faith,
                                hope and love  — He was not far
                                from God  — He sinned, but he knew
                                the truth  —

                                Judas has the sin steeped deep
                            in darkness, greed, pride to betray
                            his Master and he paid a far
                            costlier price than 30 pieces of silver
                            for the willingness to be secret and
                            sin deeply against God  —

                                Peter's heart was soft and supple
                            not like a stone, he slept in the
                            garden despite the fact Christ
                            came and told him to stay awake  —

                                Jesus sweat blood  —

                                Peter slept  —

                                Showing us our weakness when
                                    we sin  — but it is
                                    the condition of the heart  —

                            Is our vision distorted  — deep in
                                vices  — like Judas.

                            Are we a sinner, but not deep
                                seated in pride, but "stupid"
                                unseeing  — like Peter  — who
                                knew his sin immediately
                                after because his heart was
                                loving  —

                            Judas brought the men with swords
                                and clubs  — it shows how
                                Judas did all this behind
                                Christ's back in secret  —
                                then Judas betrayed Jesus  —
                                to hand Him over with a kiss  —

                            Oh how the heart of Jesus must
                                have ached for He loved Judas
                                so much  — He made him one
                                of His apostles  —

                                At the hands of Judas  — they
                                arrested Jesus  —

                            How have we made Christ suffer
                                for our sins by being whipped
                                at the pillar, crowned with
                                thorns, and then we can deny
                                our sins over and over again
                                because of pride, greed  —
                                wanting control, superiority
                                over others against God's will  —

                            Peter drew his sword and cut off the
                                ear of the high priest's servant  —

                            In that moment again Jesus shows
                                His way is love  — not the
                                sword.

                            Jesus shows His way is healing  —

                            He healed the ear  —

 

Matthew 26: 54-56

But then, how would the scriptures be fulfilled that say this is the way it must be? It was at this time that Jesus said to the crowds, ‘Am I a bandit, that you had to set out to capture me with swords and clubs? I sat teaching in the Temple day after day and you never laid a hand on me. Now all this happened to fulfil the prophecies in scripture. Then all the disciples deserted him and ran away.

 

Matthew 26: 63-68

But Jesus was silent. And the high priest said to him, 'I put you on oath by the living god to tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.' Jesus answered him, 'It is you who say it. But, I tell you that from this time onward you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.' Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, 'He has blasphemed. What need of witnesses have we now? There! You have just heard the blasphemy. What is your opinion? They answered, 'He deserves to die."

Then they spat in his face and hit him with their fists; others said as they struck him, 'Prophesy to us, Christ! Who hit you then?'

 

                                Now Peter afraid  — denied Jesus  —
                                    He said "I do not know the
                                    man."

                                3 times Peter denied Jesus and
                                Jesus made him head of the Church  —
                            showing we are all sinners and God
                            forgives our sins when we
                            admit them and say we are sorry and
                            have a firm purpose of amendment  —
                            a contrite heart.

                            But hearts are different  —
                                one can be so deep in darkness  —
                                like stone  —
                                from lies about one's sin
                                hatred deep seated and prideful
                                lying to oneself continually about
                                the truth  —
                                that what is inside is darkness  —
                                    deep darkness  —

                            Peter's sin was grave denying Jesus,
                                but his heart was soft and supple
                                and full of love  — (the virtues of faith, hope and love)
                                he repented quickly
                                Peter admitted the truth of
                                    his error  —
                                Peter was sorry  —

                            Judas steeped in pride
                                full of despair because
                                    of his vices  — secrets  —
                                full of a hard heart and not
                                    love for Jesus despaired  —
                                    He saw darkness  —

                            How is our hearts?

                            Do we sin quickly and recognize our
                                sin  —

                            Is our sins premeditated in envy
                                to do evil to others  —
                                full of hatred  —
                                punishing  —
                                prideful  —
                                angry  —
                                deep seated in unforgiveness,
                                    lust, greed, envy,
                                    jealousy  —

                            Jesus wants a contrite sinner  —
                            Mary spoke of conversion at
                                Fatima, reparation  —
                            We restore our relationship
                            with God and others  —

                            We don't have a history of
                                one sided interaction  —
                                living lives to provoke and wish
                                    others harm  —
                                lies  — secrets
                                This is dark and filled with
                                    hatred for self and others  —

                            Peter loved Jesus  —
                            Jesus asked him 3 times
                                "Do you love Me?"

                            Peter's heart was loving  — he
                                loved himself as the
                                friend of Jesus, but
                                Peter still sinned  —

                            David sinned and God forgave him,
                                but he brought punishment on
                                himself for his sin, but he
                                repented  —

                           

Matthew 27: 1-2

When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people met in council to bring about the death of Jesus. They had him bound and led him away to hand him over to Pilate, the governor.

                   

Matthew 27: 3-10

When he found that Jesus had been condemned, then Judas, his betrayer, was filled with remorse and took the thirty silver pieces back to the chief priests and elders saying, ‘I have sinned. I have betrayed innocent blood.’ They replied, ‘What is that to us? That is your concern.’ And flinging down the silver pieces in the sanctuary he made off, and went and hanged himself. The chief priests picked up the silver pieces and said, ‘It is against the Law to put this into the treasury; it is blood–money.’ So they discussed the matter and with it bought the potter’s field as a graveyard for foreigners, and this is why the field is still called the Field of Blood. The word spoken through the prophet Jeremiah was then fulfilled: And they took the thirty silver pieces, the sum at which the precious One was priced by the children of Israel, and they gave them for the potter’s field, just as the Lord directed me.

                            We see Judas death and what it
                                    meant  — senseless  —

                            In contrast to Christ's death  —
                                    Christ the new Adam  —
                                    giving, loving, dying
                                    for all
                                    Christ spread His arms  —
                                    Christ gave His all on the
                                        cross for 3 hours  —

                            Then in Matthew's Gospel  —
                                The people took Barabbas
                                    over Jesus  —

                            The way of the world  —

                                To give into satan
                                To blaspheme and reject Jesus  —

 

Matthew 27:  22-23

Pilate said to them, ‘But in that case, what am I to do with Jesus who is called Christ?’ They all said, ‘Let him be crucified!’ He asked, ‘But what harm has he done?’ But they shouted all the louder, ‘Let him be crucified!’

 

Matthew 27: 26

Then he released Barabbas for them. After having Jesus scourged he handed him over to be crucified.

Matthew 27: 27-29

Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Praetorium and collected the whole cohort round him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet cloak round him, and having twisted some thorns into a crown they put this on his head and placed a reed in his right hand. To make fun of him they knelt to him saying, ‘Hail, king of the Jews!’

 

                            They gave Jesus wine mixed with gall  —

                            Jesus made the grapes
                            Jesus made everything from nothing and
                            They did this to Jesus  —

Matthew 27: 41-44

The chief priests with the scribes and elders mocked him in the same way, with the words, ‘He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the king of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. He has put his trust in God; now let God rescue him if he wants him. For he did say, “I am God’s son.”  Even the bandits who were crucified with him taunted him in the same way.

 

 

Matthew 27: 45-56

From the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eli, eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' When some of those who stood there heard this, they said, 'The man is calling on Elijah,' and one of them quickly ran to get a sponge which he filled with vinegar and, putting it on a reed, gave it him to drink. But the rest of them said, 'Wait! And see if Elijah will come to save him.' But Jesus, again crying out in a loud voice, yielded up his spirit. And suddenly, the veil of the Sanctuary was torn in two from top to bottom, the earth quaked, the rocks were split, the tombs opened and the bodies of many holy people rose from the dead, and these, after his resurrection, came out of the tombs, entered the holy city and appeared to a number of people. The centurion, together with the others guarding Jesus, had seen the earthquake and all that was taking place, and they were terrified and said, 'In truth this man was son of God.' And many women were there, watching from a distance, the same women who had followed Jesus from Galilee and looked after him. Among them were Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.

 

                            Things are not good or evil
                                of themselves  —

                                the mind of man thinks them
                                    such  —

                            Sex is good of itself  — it was
                                created by God for marriage  —

                            Man can sin horribly against
                                what God intended for
                                sex in a marriage to
                                procreate children and show
                                love of husband and wife  —

                            Money is not evil or good  —

                            It is what the man does
                                with it in a greedy
                                heart or a heart ready
                                to serve God and build God's Kingdom  —

                            Likewise talents  —
                                talents used for vain glory  —
                                    to punish others not
                                    doing good but harm against God —
                                    offends God.
                                   
                                Talents were given to give
                                    honor and glory to God
                                    and build God's
                                        Kingdom  —

                            A bird can fly  —
                                His wings are good  —

                            A man has a heart to love  —
                                to lead him to God  —
                                to love his fellow men and help build
                                God's Kingdom
                       
                                               

Matthew 23: 27-32

    Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs that look handsome on the outside, but inside are full of the bones of the dead and every kind of corruption. In just the same way, from the outside you look upright, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

    Alas for you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You build the sepulchres of the prophets and decorate the tombs of the upright, saying, “We would never have joined in shedding the blood of the prophets, had we lived in our ancestors’ day. So! Your own evidence tells against you! You are the children of those who murdered the prophets! Very well then, finish off the work that your ancestors began

           

                            The action man does should be
                                with God's laws behind it  —
                                for His honor and glory  —

                            Never using things to harm another
                                out of anger  —
                                darkness in us  —

                            Anger comes from the heart of
                                man  —
                                and it has an energy  —
                                like love has an energy  —

                            The angry man in deep darkness
                                sends that energy out to hurt
                                others  — when he gives into
                                hurting others for the misery
                                he has inside  — in darkness  —
                                because of his own choices  —
                                and his lying to himself about
                                his sin  —

                            Anger comes from distancing
                                oneself from God  —

                            For our happiness depends on
                                intimacy with God  —

                            When we give into vices and hatred
                                we distance ourselves
                                from God and this is what
                                makes us angry  —
                                we are like a fish out of water  —

 

                                God created us to love Him and
                                    love others as ourselves  —

                            When we rebel against God's will and
                                    act hatefully  — we are
                                    miserable  —
                                    nothing in the world can
                                        make this dark hole go
                                        away — unless we tell the
                                        truth and ask to be forgiven and
                                        turn to God  — our "higher power".

                            We can be consumed with lies  —

                            The devil wants us to deny our
                                sin.

                            Only in the truth  —
                            Only in recognizing a "higher power"
                            and putting Him first in our lives
                            and loving others as ourselves
                            will we fill that darkness  —
                            with light and love  —

                            God is unchangeable
                            God is All Perfect
                            God is omnipotent

                            The hate and anger behind an
                                act makes it worse

                            Killing is a sin.

                            Killing a priest because a
                                man hates the Church
                                is even greater  —

                            How black is the sin?

                            How contaminated is the heart?

                            How punishing  —
                                        wishing vengeance on another  —
                                        premeditated
                                        closed in  —
                                        carried out over days  —
                                            living in revenge
                                            to punish  —

                            this is worse than a man who
                                commits a sin spontaneously.

                            How bitter and deep seated in
                                the anger, secrets,
                                hatred  — of the heart  —

                            Blindness
                            Distorted vision

                            A man was blind and had a
                                seeing-eye dog to help him  —

                            what of the man who is blind
                                and had a blind dog as
                                his guide.

                            Satan is a blind dog to a
                                man who can already
                                be blinded by his
                                sins  —

                            How dark is the heart?

                            How bitter the sin?

                            And does the man know as
                                he goes deeper and deeper
                                into sin  —
                                who could turn him around  —

                            Satan attacks more aggressively
                                with indignance and
                                more lies  —

                            He wants the man to be
                                giving in to him  —
                                more and more

 

 

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 in 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.

end of January 17, 1994

                            We need to put ourselves
                                                   our family
                                                   in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary

                            Work the program  —

                            Live by the Blue Books

                            Spread the devotion to the 2 Hearts
                            Spread the prayers to the world  —
                            Spread Fr. Joe's book to the priests

 

                            From August 27, 2010

                                We pray for the priests, the Church and
                            the world  —

                                They cannot be selfish or a parish
                            priest would hurt his parish  —

                                He is ready to listen, some complain
                            and he runs all kinds of things  —
                            runs to hospitals, nursing homes,
                            helps families.

                                Mary said families, schools, Churches
                            need to consecrate their homes, churches,
                            schools and families to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and
                            display images of the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and
                            to consecrate themselves  —
                            She said this and praying the rosary,
                                conversion will bring peace  —

                            Parents make decisions for innocent
                            children who have to live by
                            their decisions  —

                            Don't we think we should
                            listen to the messages
                            Jesus and Mary gave Fr. Carter
                            Mary gave at Fatima
                            Jesus said in the Blue Books so
                                people will obey commandments  —
                                to put God first
                                to love God above all things
                                to love our neighbor as ourselves  —

                            Priests serving the people are not
                                selfish.

                            Parents really giving to their family
                                are not selfish.

                            God calls us to serve.
                            God calls us to give.
                            God calls us to love.
                            God calls us to build His Kingdom.

                            He has called us in the Shepherds of Christ to
                                follow this Plan to help bring to
                                completion the message Mary
                                gave at Fatima for peace  —

                            Consecrate to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart
                                your Churches and families
                                and schools.

                            Consecrate yourselves  —

                            Be truthful about your sins  —
                            so all can grow in peace and
                            love.

                            Oh God help us  —
                                  spread Fr. Joe's book to all the
                                  priests in the US
                                  and start prayer chapters praying
                                  for the priests, the Church
                                  and the world  — all over the
                                  world as Jesus asked  —

                            Help me do what Mary and Jesus
                                asked for  —

                            For Peace

                            For Love

                            For our children

                            Don't give into satan  —

                            Obey the commandments  —

                                Pray!!

A Mass by Fr. John J. Pasquini

about 30 minutes.

 

Recorded at St. Joseph's Assisted Living

 in Jupiter, Florida   

 

Transcribed from Fr. Pasquini's homily on the DVD

From the Nursing Home Tape

    Fr. Pasquini says there are two realities we face everyday of our life, we all have a hunger and desire for happiness — some people say I want peace above everything, I want love above everything, I want heaven above everything, I want salvation but ultimately they want happiness, love is happiness, peace is happiness, and that is why the scriptures would say another word for God is happiness, for only in God do we find our happiness

Sing song: God's Love

 

    And yet even though we recognize that hunger for happiness we realize that life comes with suffering unavoidable suffering, and what do we do with that unavoidable suffering, well we can walk through life with that suffering with God or without God, when we bring God into those times of unavoidable suffering we are able to reconcile these 2 desires, these 2 mysteries, we are able to reconcile the reality that we desire happiness in God and we able to recognize that our suffering can be made easier to deal with could be transformed and even can become a gift a sharing in Christ redemption for the world, a sharing in His suffering for ourselves and for the world, for others and the souls in purgatory.

    Jesus is the great reconciler, He reconciles that desire for happiness with the reality of suffering, even transformed suffering, that unavoidable suffering into a gift, into a special gift, now how do we bring this about in our daily life, well the first thing we need to do — we need to be people of prayer. We have to enter into the life of Christ for if we live with Christ and die with Christ we will be resurrected with Christ and so we enter into that mystery of Christ who had happiness even amidst the pains and difficulties, the trials and tribulations of every day life.

    We are called to imitate our Savior and we imitate our Savior by learning from Him. And so we are called to a life of prayer and I encourage each and every one of you to make sure that every time you wake up you begin your day in prayer and every day that is finished you end your day in prayer. Some times it might be just saying Good Morning God be with me today in the joys and in the sadness, give me the strength, be with me. And it may just be at night Lord God I am tired but I love you and I worship you and I want to always be with you.

    But no matter how long your prayers or how short, begin the day in prayer and end it in prayer. And if you have a little time at night to examine the day to look at the day to see how God was active in your life and say Lord Jesus thank you for these blessing thank you for being active in my life, and to look at the day and say hum I had so many opportunities to respond in a loving Christ-like way and I failed. Lord Jesus forgive me grant me the strengthen to be better tomorrow.

    And then of course to pray the beautiful rosary — as we pray it throughout the week we meditate on the entire life of Jesus and that entire life of Jesus becomes a part of us so that when we walk through life we walk it in imitation of Him who had happiness even amidst the difficulties of life.

    And then of course the sacraments, do come and be anointed, to call your priest to come and anointed you, that beautiful sacrament that strengthens us spiritually in our times, the difficulty and in our time of age as we get old. Be anointed with that special sacrament that boosts us spiritually and physically.

    To make use of the sacrament of reconciliation. Make sure you call your priest so that you may cleanse your soul as we all need our souls cleansed on a regular basis because the more our soul is cleansed the more we can see as Christ sees, hear as Christ hears, experience life as Christ experienced it for He was like us in all things but sin. And so when we cleanse ourselves of sin we become more like the Savior and therefore we are able to deal with life much more beautifully. For Christ makes our joys more joyous and He makes our times of difficulty easier to deal with.

    And then of course to receive the Eucharist — to come to the table of the Lord and be nourish with the Medicine of Immortality, the antidote against death, the promise that we will live forever, to receive His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. Now some of you will not be able to make it to Mass. I would encourage you to call your local parish and to have them bring communion to you so that you may receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. And if they are unable, make a Spiritual Communion, say Lord Jesus I wish I could be here at your Mass and so I wish and I hope for the gifts that come with the Eucharist. Please bless me and He will. He will.

    And so we are called to be nourished by Our Lord, by prayer and the great equated prayer the rosary - that beautiful meditative prayer, by the sacraments. And then we are called to say Lord Jesus I surrender and trust in you. I surrender and trust in you.

    There is a beautiful prayer from the great saint St. Francis de Sales. And St. Francis de Sales beautifully summarizes how we should take life, because it is easy to say you're called to surrender and to trust but that's a life long journey. We all know that. But we need to pray every day for the more we surrender and trust to God the more He will take care of us.

    And St. Francis de Sales beautifully explains that when he says "Do not look forward to what may happen tomorrow, the same Eternal Father takes care of you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day of your life. Either He will shield you from suffering or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace then and put aside all useless thoughts, all vain dreads and all anxious imaginations."

    I give my heart to Jesus and Mary with you in love. Amen.

Jeremiah 20: 7-9

You have seduced me, Yahweh,
    and I have let myself be seduced;
you have overpowered me:
    you were the stronger.
I am a laughing-stock all day long,
they all make fun of me.
For whenever I speak, I have to howl
and proclaim, ‘Violence and ruin!’
For me , Yahweh’s word has been the cause
of insult and derision all day long.
I would say to myself,
    ‘I will not think about him,
I will not speak in his name any more,’
but then there seemed to be a fire
    burning in my heart,
imprisoned in my bones.
The effort to restrain it wearied me,
I could not do it.

   

Romans 12: 1-2

I urge you, then, brothers, remembering the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, dedicated and acceptable to God; that is the kind of worship for you, as sensible people. Do not model your behaviour on the contemporary world, but let the renewing of your minds transform you, so that you may discern for yourselves what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and mature.

 

Matthew 16: 21-27

From then onwards Jesus began to make it clear to his disciples that he was destined to go to Jerusalem and suffer grievously at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be put to death and to be raised up on the third day. Then, taking him aside, Peter started to rebuke him. ‘Heaven preserve you, Lord,’ he said, ‘this must not happen to you.’ But he turned and said to Peter, ‘Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle in my path, because you are thinking not as God thinks but as human beings do.’

Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If anyone wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me. Anyone who wants to save his life will lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake will find it. What, then, will anyone gain by winning the whole world and forfeiting his life? Or what can anyone offer in exchange for his life? ‘For the Son of man is going to come in the glory of his Father with his angels, and then he will reward each one according to his behaviour.

 

                R. Jeremiah —
                    people hated him —
                    they ridiculed him
                    they threw him in jail —
                    Jeremiah complained
                        "You duped me God"

                In the Gospel today
                    Jesus suffered
                    They ridiculed Him,
                    They put Him to death —
                    Jesus never complained

                This is about suffering —
                    We must endure suffering,
                        many times, we don't
                        strike out and try to punish
                        others and hurt God's work
                        to lead others to salvation —

                My soul is thirsting for You
                    my God —

                We suffer when we can't
                    do nothing —
                    we don't act in
                        revenge and anger —
                    hurting God's plan —

                We don't give into the
                    devil in envy,
                    jealousy,
                    seeking power and vain
                    glory

Romans 12: 1-2

I urge you, then, brothers, remembering the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, dedicated and acceptable to God; that is the kind of worship for you, as sensible people. Do not model your behaviour on the contemporary world, but let the renewing of your minds transform you, so that you may discern for yourselves what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and mature.

 

                R. Offer ourselves united to the
                    sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally
                    made present in the Mass in love —

                    Be transformed
                    Do God's will in all
                        things

                A house divided
                    against itself
                    will not stand —
                Holy Spirit Center

                Whoever wishes to come after Me must
                take up your cross and follow Me —

                We want to hear about peace, love and joy

   

Matthew 16: 16

Then Simon Peter spoke up and said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'

   

                R. Jesus said His followers would
                    have to take up your
                    cross and follow Him —

                Peter was trying to talk
                    Jesus out of His mission
                Jesus said: Satan get
                    behind Me —

                Peter was thinking like a man.

                Peter did not understand —

                Whoever wished to follow Me
                    must take up his
                    cross and follow Me —

                Jesus used strong
                    language with Peter —
                Peter wasn't evil —
                    what he said was wrong —

                Jesus suffered and died and rose —

                Peter didn't get it!

                The cross was wooden for
                    Jesus — Saints took up their
                    cross — many martyred — in loving God

                Our crosses everyday are in
                    loving our neighbor
                    as ourselves — to
                    overcome our selfishness —
                    to love with our whole heart, our whole
                    soul, our whole being —
           

                   

Romans 12: 1-2

I urge you, then, brothers, remembering the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, dedicated and acceptable to God; that is the kind of worship for you, as sensible people. Do not model your behaviour on the contemporary world, but let the renewing of your minds transform you, so that you may discern for yourselves what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and mature.

   

                    R. Jesus came to establish His
                    Kingdom — with no more death —
                    no more mourning — no more tears in our eyes

                    Jesus drove out demons
                    Jesus healed the sick —

                In our vocation we have crosses in helping others —

                Some crosses and sufferings
                    we can't avoid — we must
                    endure them —
                    crosses with our mission
                    religious have to deal with —
                    a person with an aged parent —
                    a teacher, a fireman, a man in service to country

                Our Lord carried the cross for us —

                St. Paul said we should offer ourselves as a
                    living sacrifice, a holy and pleasing
                    sacrifice to God
