People that block us don't realize how
important this is to help
spread Christianity and help in the salvation of souls.
Messenger: Jesus is Priest, Prophet and King.
1 Corinthians 15: 20-28
In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first–fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first–fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

Messenger: I love the gospel of John.
Please read John.
Jesus is the Head!
I find it very interesting that John the Baptist
lost his head.
John the Baptist came from the once-barren Elizabeth.
Hasn't it been shown all through the
scriptures how fruit has come from
once-barren women.
Oh we see Mary, mother of the children.
On August 27, 1996 before she appeared
on the building in Clearwater
December 17, 1996 she said
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.

Messenger: Read
the beginning of the Gospel of
John again.
It begins...
In the beginning was the Word...
The words make my heart swell.
I love Jesus so very much.
The words, "life" and "light" make
my heart burn.
The words "Bridegroom" and
"Lamb of God" make me cry.
I am a mystic, deep within me, God
has revealed truths about the
Divine Mysteries.
It is depth.
It is knowing God more deeply.
It is reading the Word and it seems
to me the world stops and I
am in awe and in the depth of
my soul.
To me fruit and barrenness are so
much a part of my thinking.
I see the world as it is today over
2000 years after Christ came to this earth
and I hear His words as He spoke
October 8, 1997, in what seemed to me
a very serious and strong, angry tone
Excerpt from October 8, 1997 Message
Jesus speaks: I did not put you on the earth and then leave you to yourselves. I dwelt amongst you to guide you in all your ways and the people today spit on Me as they did 2,000 years before. For all these years I waited for the likes of you, My people, and why should you have more time for false joy? Joy is not in the molten calf. It is in the words of the Savior.

August 3, 2002 message continues
Messenger: Some people if asked to do something
really important, instead of doing
it, they do so many things they thought
of doing lately and some things out of order they
try to organize and they make everyone who
is willing to help with a urgent mission wait and
wait while they get their house in order,
before they begin the important task at hand.
If God came today and said—you have
only today to get your life in order and
then tonight I am taking you home with
Me—Would you go and clean out all the literal
dust in your closet and organize all you
spools of thread or would you say—
I must do all I can to make my deep
connection between God and those I love
so much this day?
Would the focus be on things or exactly
what God wants us to do—love Him with
all our heart and all our soul and all our being
and love all our family and friends and
people around us?
Where do the spools of thread go?
Does the red one have to be next to the
orangish-red one?
I am not saying that it is not important to
organize our things.
I am saying simply this—there is the right time
to do what God wants us to do.
God wants us doing His will.
Our time here is so very short.
If the grapes aren't planted they don't grow.
If the time isn't spent in planting there
will not be a harvest.
If all we do is sit in a corner and put our
treasures under our chair, the treasure
will not multiply and we will waste
a lot of time.
One man can help to accomplish so much.
We got a body—we have to exercise some—
if we sit around all day, year after
year, our body gets slow.
I am talking generally, an invalid cannot
decide to run a marathon.
I see John the Baptist.
I want to quote what John said about
himself.
John 1: 19-24
The witness of John
This was the witness of John, when the Jews sent to him priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, ‘Who are you?’ He declared, he did not deny but declared, ‘I am not the Christ.’ So they asked, ‘Then are you Elijah?’ He replied, ‘I am not.’ ‘Are you the Prophet?’ He answered, ‘No.’ So they said to him, ‘Who are you? We must take back an answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?’ So he said, ‘I am, as Isaiah prophesied:
A voice of one that cries in the desert:
Prepare a way for the
Lord.
Make his paths straight!’
Now those who had been sent were Pharisees,
August 3, 2002 message continues
Messenger: I
am a voice and I cry out a message
given to me from Jesus and Mary.
I didn't make it up, before Mary appeared
in Clearwater, Florida, I spoke
clearly and distinctly about her
daily apparitions to me for 14
months at the old seminary, Mt. St. Mary's
July 5, 1994 - September 5, 1995.
When Mary appeared to me the old seminary
was now called Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center.
It is sad, but when someone has a
message from God, the devil can
try to send another message through
someone else to block the real
message.
Jesus Christ is the one promised in the Old
Testament.
Jesus Christ came and fulfilled the prophesies.
It is my experience, if Mary appeared to me
some other visionary would get a
message at about the same time to
block the work Our Lord and Our Lady
wanted accomplished by the message I had
received from Jesus or Mary.
I really have experienced this over and over
again.
When Jesus kept telling me to publish
the Blue Books and spread His
letters in 1993 and 1994, people then
were not spending a lot of time before
the tabernacle praying.
His letters were timely.
He emphasized over and over again in His
letters He was Jesus, the Son of God.
He said, "I am God."
Do you know how many more people would be
Christian today if the priests and people
would have helped me spread
the Blue Book writings of Jesus?
It is 9 years ago now since I was given these
Blue Book writings and told to spread
the letters of love from Jesus.
A lot of people put their treasures under
their strata lounger and spend
30 hours a week watching the
news and movies and shows that
get more and more vile.
Jesus cried out in the letters, these
messages do not belong in Rita's
purse, I want them out.
The people that were meant to help me
received other messages from other
visionaries that did all they could
to block the very timely writings
at the end of the 20th century when
Jesus was giving us the mighty
medicine for the sick world.
Jesus said so clearly the power is in the Eucharist,
stay after communion, spend time
before the tabernacle.
Almost 2000 years after Christ was crucified and
Christianity was not spreading as it should
in the world—Jesus, the Son of God
sent these messages and told Fr. Carter to
begin the Movement Shepherds of Christ
to pray for the priests, the Church and the world.
Well Fr. Carter did what Jesus told him and
he sent the Priestly Newsletter to every
priest in the United States in the middle
of 1994, and we have sent it ever since.
This was preceded by a message I had received
from Jesus that He wanted these two messages
sent to all the Bishops in the United States
January 1994. I did not even know Fr. Carter
then. Another priest was consulted and
we sent these two messages to every
bishop in the United States January, 1994.

gave me this prayer.
Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and
permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994
August 3, 2002 message continues
Messenger: People
who were afraid I was trying to get
ahead of them were really the ones
who blocked the Blue Book messages
of Jesus.
They didn't see we were all part of the same
plan to spread Christianity to an
already sick world almost
2000 years after Christ.
They didn't see the vision, they saw themselves
as the end.
Mary appeared at Falmouth and Cold Springs.
We were to spread the Blue Books from
there and the prayer manuals and
rosary meditations to really pray
for the priests, the Church and the
world and get the Children involved
in the Junior Shepherds of Christ
Movement and pray the rosary with the
meditations and spread the consecration.
Individuals thought I was trying to get ahead
of them and did all they could to block the
work I was told to do.
Do you know how the Blue Book Messages
could majorly affect Christianity in
the world if people would help
us spread letters from Jesus that
are so tender and sweet and people
would hear Jesus say, "I am Jesus,
Son of the Living God."
"I am truly present in the Eucharist,
Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity."
Why would individuals try to block these
messages of Jesus?
Why did they jail the Fatima Visionaries?
Listen, our children are watching movies at
1½ years old about witchcraft and the
little ones cry. People are forcing these
things down little babies throats.
The time is nigh as Mary says 2 days after she
appeared in Clearwater, Florida.
Excerpt from December 19, 1996
Mary speaks: Oh, my children, my little children of light, the time is nigh and many will be lost forever. I appeared and warned and told all to mind their ways and come to the Heart of my Son and they said "No, my Lady, not for you or any mother. We are children of darkness and that we remain, for we seek our pleasure by day and feast on sin all night and when you called, mother, we laughed at your Son and ignored Him and His ways." And He called and His call fell on deaf ears.
Please, my children of light, come to my heart now for although you walked next to the children of darkness. I smite the dragon that whirled around you and protected you in my heart and you will now feast on the glories of His Kingdom, my little children of light.

Look at the crisis the Church is in

Fr. Carter, S.J., a Jesuit priest with a
doctorate in theology got these messages
in 1994. Fr. Carter had authored 18 books
and sent the Priestly Newsletter to 75,000
priests regularly.
Fr. Carter said the Blue Books were as
much his as mine and very carefully
discerned them and tried to help me
circulate them.
Fr. Carter used the writings in the Mass
book regularly in the Priestly Newsletter.
They are entitled from a spiritual journal.
I am Rita Ring and I tell you this
is serious. A good part of the
world doesn't believe Jesus is a
Divine Person. They don't believe
in the Trinity and the Word of God.

excerpt from March 7, 1994
Jesus speaks: "Busy yourself for your day is at hand and you will know My might! I will shake the earth and you will listen Then you will listen, but where were you when I gave you forewarning? You are waiting for the big boom. I am calling you now to listen to Me here....Time is so short. One moment and it is up in smoke....What do I do to shake you? I, in My might can rock you off your rockers. I try to prepare you but you are too busy. Hold on to your last piece of dust and watch it go up in your face! I am Jesus Christ, Son of God and I write to you and who pays heed here? This should tell you of your attachments to worldly things. You want proof. You look the other way. I am God and you contain the mighty medicine for this sick world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. Do you listen?"
excerpt from March 13, 1994
Jesus speaks: "You must tell them how I wait for them. I wait. I want them to come and I will give them such love! Tell them, Rita, tell them! Your discontent is from what emotions I give you and you keep them inside. I want all to know Me and My love. I am crying out to you, little one. Tell them, tell them. Do not waste any time. I am crying out for you to spread this message. I want you to tell all of My love and how I am waiting. Emotion, Emotion! I am crying out to you in your heart. I long for their love. I died for them. How do I make them know if you, to whom I speak, hold back? I want you to get the messages out child.
Ready yourself for a big boom. No one is listening. I am crying out to you. Prepare your brothers, they are in darkness....I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am on fire for love of them. I am Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God. I call you to this state of urgency. Move your friends by this urgent letter. There is no more time to waste. I call you all here to deliver this message personally to you. I am Jesus. I am begging each of you to spread My message. Tell them of My ardent love.

Excerpts from Falmouth Flood Card January 18, 1997 - Message from God the Father, ...I tell you to read the account concerning Noah. Nowhere in history has God been offended as He is this day by the sinful world. You will suffer a fate for the offenses against God. ...Mary appeared at Fatima to warn you, the sinful children, how they were offending God, but you did not listen. The war (WWII) did not change the hearts of many evil men. I warn you through My beloved daughter Mary. You did not heed her warnings. Disobedience against the mother I gave you displeases Me greatly. Mary is the Mother of all children. Mary is the gift from Me, but you are willful and abuse the gift I send you...Disobey My messenger, ignore your Mother, ignore the Son in these messages...My Plan will unfold through the Shepherds of Christ Movement. I am talking through these messages given by My Son and Mary to tell you how to accomplish this task of carrying out My plan. February 10, 1997 - Message from God the Father, ...Nowhere in the human history of man have I revealed and given such gifts as I have given to you in your movement (Shepherds of Christ). The plot is the same as the plot at the Holy Spirit Center and the Falmouth Farm. I am displeased, I am angered to address this issue any further. I am the Father. I have spoken. …Satan has created this confusion because of the importance of the 13th (prayer meetings) and the completion of the Fatima Message. Nowhere, have I been so greatly offended, when I have given such gifts which ended in the Falmouth Farm being a (spiritual) disaster ...many souls are being lost. March 3, 1997 - Falmouth floods when the Licking River overflows its banks and entire town is swamped. It is the town hardest hit by the flooding. end of Falmouth Flood card

Excerpt from
The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje
October 13, 1917
In her message that day, Our Blessed Mother told the children:
I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.(17)
