Given July 17, 2016

                R. Dear Holy Spirit please come and
                    renew the face of the earth.
                    Dear God we love You.
                    Please come into our hearts and
                    fill us with the fire of God's love.

                God wants to dwell in us –

                We are to put on Christ –
                so we can say with St. Paul

                R. God is with us now –

                God loves us so much –

                Jesus loved us so much – He died
                    for us.

                What a precious gift to know how
                    much God loves us.

                But the devil wants us to listen to him
                    and he wants to bring us misery
                    and darkness.

                God wants us to walk in the light –

                To let go of the darkness –

                To be possessed by God.

 
                        Excerpt from Prayer for Union

                R. Dear God – help us to be holy –
                    help us to see through the eyes
                    of the heavenly Father –
                    to see Your plan for us.

                Mary said she appeared in Clear-water
                    to lead us out – to be children
                    of the light –

                She wants us to love one another –
                    to trust those God has called us
                    to work with –

                So we pray to be faithful to God –
                    We pray to trust those God has called
                    us to trust, to be lead in the
                    right path so

                At the end of our lives we can say –
                    we fought a good fight – to love –
                    to be good and to bring others
                    to God.

                We walked and we carried the cross
                    many times, but we did it in
                    holiness, we carried it with Jesus.
                    We identified our lives with His.

                We lived the Pascal Mystery of death/resurrection –

                Come to Me Lord and possess my soul –

                We have to let go and let God the Holy Spirit
                    lead us and pray for greater faith
                    to know
                    God is with us and He loves us and
                    He wants us to be more and more in
                    His image and likeness.

                We never take our eyes off of the prize –
                    the prize is to be ever more united
                    to God.

                To know unity and love and light in
                    our hearts –

                I like the Twelve Steps –

                    No matter how hard the journey may
                    seem to recovery –
                    we work them –

                Only God can change an unmanageable
                    life –

                We see that no matter how far we
                    may have veered that we have
                    to surrender to God and recognize
                    God can run our lives and we
                    can have victory.

                We must be willing to admit our
                    faults and be humble to ask
                    for God to do this –

                Millions and millions have been healed
                    of dysfunctional lives because of the
                    12 steps.

                R. God has the Plan –

                God gives us His Word to live by for
                    successful living.

                I love Fr. Joe's book because it
                    is based in love and God's
                    word living in us.

                Guiding Light
 

                R. The Blue Books are letters of love
                    God has given us to know
                    His love and to grow in our love
                    relationship with Him –
                    Our lives are given to grow in
                    relationships with God and
                    others and ourselves.

                Love is a decision.

                We want healthy relationships –
                    Relationships rooted in God's will.

                To have relationships that are healthy
                    we must admit the truth
                    about our faults and be
                    willing to die to those ways
                    unpleasing to God.
                    Bad habits we have developed
                        that are unloving and
                        hurt our relationship with God
                        and others and ourselves –

                We seek life giving relationships –
                We discipline ourselves –

                We let go to God and ask Him to
                    remove defects in our character
                    that are self-destructive
                    characters.

                We seek God –

                We love God –

                We want God to come and dwell
                    in us.

                We believe how much God
                    loves us –

                The Blue Books help us –

                Open anywhere and God has a message
                    for us.
                    Pray first to the Holy Spirit –
                    God is real –
                    He is there when we turn to Him.

Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - July 5, 1997 Rosary

3. ... We give our heart to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we ask to help make reparation for our sins against God. We help make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We give ourselves so much to Him in that prayer and we ask to be able to love Him with the greatest love, we ask for that grace in the Mass. The Mass is the greatest love affair that there is in all of the world. It is the love affair between God and man, where He gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him. It is the most intimate act of God giving Himself to His creatures.

4. Jesus: And so I ask you in this rosary to help to circulate the prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to all of the Churches. To circulate the Prayer for Union with Jesus, that people will become one in My Heart, as they give themselves to Me in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. This is a most powerful prayer that I give to you.

Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - July 13, 1997 Rosary

6. R. ... At Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, about 14 people were praying the rosary in the Rosary Chapel at 1:00. I looked up at the ceiling and said to Jesus, ‘You handle this, Jesus, it is Yours. I have done all I can do to deliver Your messages to promote devotion to the Eucharist and Your love. These are Your messages, You do something.’ Wanting to run and leave, I started to cry. Jesus said, ‘Go to the chapel and pray the rosary.’ I went into the Rosary Chapel and they had said the Creed and a few Hail Mary’s. I sat on the chair feeling so bad inside, holding back my tears. About the 9th Hail Mary or so of the first mystery, I heard the biggest boom I ever heard. It lasted about three minutes, it seemed. The floor shook under my feet as I sat on my chair and I knew it was Him, (because He had said I would be sitting on a chair, the floor would shake under my feet and I will feel the biggest boom and hear the biggest boom that I had ever heard.) For the first time after a month of my stomach being in knots I was relieved. He acted. Everyone got up and was alarmed and I felt comforted for I thought, ‘Thank God, now they will believe.’ We went out of the chapel and I looked down the hall and saw the sky. The entire end wing had fallen off. We ran from the building and outside there was a hole, in the earth surrounded by bricks that looked as if they had been laid neatly around the hole. The cloud of dust in the hole was sky high.

This was March the 22nd of 1994, after one month of messages, daily, that had my stomach in knots. One of the messages was given on March 7, 1994 and is recorded in God’s Blue Book II in which Jesus speaks a couple weeks before the corner of the building fell off. Which is exactly what was going on out there in the hole. The dust was sky high and it was going up in my face when I went out there. Then on March the 13th He spoke a second time, 10 days before the end of the building fell off.

Jesus speaks on August 11th and said, 1996, these were permanent signs that He gave for the validity of the messages. Hours before the corner of the building fell off, He spoke again and He said He wanted the books published. In three minutes, it seemed, maybe it was less, that whole wing of that building fell off. It was like somebody cut it off with a knife.

We have a picture that we will pass out that Jesus wants out and circulated. This is what He is asking us to do. He gave His life for us. We must be fearless soldiers and go forth and spread the messages of His love. He is asking us to spread these cards which tell of the urgency of these messages and that He means business and that the next suffering will be worse than these sufferings if we do not pray, consecrate our hearts, and help to try to spread the Priestly Newsletter.

7. R. Jesus told us this on March the 24th, He said that, “The Shepherds of Christ Movement is My instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. Its primary purpose is to pray for priests. It is through this Movement that the Fatima message will greatly unfold.” He said on July 11th that, “A house divided against itself will fall.” And this is exactly what happen down there - the end of the building fell off.   end of excerpt

                        Excerpt from Blue Book 16 - September 5, 1997 Rosary

8. R. Many times, when I have done the kiss of peace in Church I have felt so disconnected. A quick nod, a hand up, so, so cold. And it is so difficult many times to feel this connection in the Mass. Today, I was in my heart in the Mass with my Shepherds of Christ brothers I love so dearly. We hugged and were one greater than ever before. For we gave His love to each other right in the Mass. I just said, “I love you”, and it was coming from the love that was inside of me. It was His love, His love in me that was going out to them. And His love in them that was coming back to me. We exchanged His love with each other so deep in our hearts. And then we beg Him for mercy on this world, Lamb of God, I want to get down on the ground and beg Him, please send mercy on this world and on me for the sins that I have committed and the sins of this world. Lamb of God. He was the little lamb taken to the slaughter. Do you see Him in the garden with the blood that comes down His cheeks and He falls to the ground, to the muddy ground. And there it is the Precious Blood of the Almighty God shed for the sins of men. And how do we say, Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. They scratch their heads and they look around and the words come out of the mouth with such labor. When God has given His life for men. And this is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present in the Mass. Half asleep. And where is the answer, my friends? It is in the priests whose hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Grace is outpoured through the hands of the priests to the faithful and they are fed. We love our priests — pray the prayers Jesus gave to pray for them. This is our mission. The world is not doing what God intends them to do. This is why He sends the messages. It is only in consecration that this will happen. How can the priests stand there and teach the people that which he does not know. But God is teaching in the Priestly Newsletter. And so our mission is blocked. But our truth is in the Scriptures and it is in Him. Lamb, Lamb of God, the Son of God took flesh, came to this earth and sacrificed His body to pay for the price of the sins. And do we even say the words with conviction? Are we really begging God to give mercy to us? Or are we thinking that we do not even need His mercy? We are thinking about the food that we will have afterwards or the Sunday fun. And God gives to us Himself as the Lamb, the Lamb of God. And so we should fall on the floor and beg God for mercy. When we have begged Him, when we have asked for forgiveness for our sins, when we tell Him that we are not worthy, and we walk the aisle to the banquet, Jesus gives us Himself in the Holy Eucharist. Jesus is the Bridegroom of our soul. And after all we have done, the Son of God gives us Himself, the bridegroom of our soul.

9. Matthew 22: 1-8

Parable of the wedding feast

Jesus began to speak to them in parables once again, ‘The kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a king who gave a feast for his son’s wedding. He sent his servants to call those who had been invited, but they would not come. Next he sent some more servants with the words, “Tell those who have been invited: Look, my banquet is all prepared, my oxen and fattened cattle have been slaughtered, everything is ready. Come to the wedding.” But they were not interested: one went off to his farm, another to his business, and the rest seized his servants, maltreated them and killed them. The king was furious. He dispatched his troops, destroyed those murderers and burnt their town. Then he said to his servants, “The wedding is ready;

R. The Son of God gives Himself to sinful men and He is ignored and forgotten by some. And do the guests come to the wedding feast? And how are they dressed? Are their souls white and pure? Or do they come with the wrong attire?

Matthew 22: 8-11

“The wedding is ready; but as those who were invited proved to be unworthy, go to the main crossroads and invite everyone you can find to come to the wedding. So these servants went out onto the roads and collected together everyone they could find, bad and good alike; and the wedding hall was filled with guests. When the king came in to look at the guests he noticed one man who was not wearing a wedding garment,

R. And there are so many messages in the Blue Book that says: “how is your soul?” And He talks about being the bridegroom of our souls in the Blue Books and He talks about having a stain on the bride’s dress and how would you come. And when I got these messages I didn’t know what He was really talking about. Read them. December 27, 1993, February 11, 1994. How pure we must be. How a bride wouldn’t come with a big stain on her dress. I didn’t realize that the Scriptures and everything is leading to this. But He said it in there, He said it in the messages. And I told the person He told me to tell it to. Jesus wants this union with each soul as the bridegroom of our soul. And they said, “Ah, no Rita, that’s for you.” In the Bible it talks about this spousal union between the soul and God. And this is how it will be in the Reign of the Sacred Heart. The references to the wedding, the references are in there in the Blue Books. Read those messages where He talks about the purity that He wants from the soul. And they laughed and they laughed on December 29th when He talked about us coming to the tabernacle. Read the beauty of the message. When He says, “I give you Myself and you take Me to the gas pump or to K-mart”. And they laughed and yellowed up the book. God spoke to us and it is the truth. The banquet is prepared. He gives us Himself, the bridegroom of our soul. And the people are off and out the door, pumping gas, with the Son of God within their bodies.

10. R. But when the king came in to meet the guests he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. How is the state of your soul? Is there a big stain on the wedding dress as He said? It was in the February 11th message.

Matthew 22: 12-14

and said to him, “How did you get in here, my friend, without a wedding garment?” And the man was silent. Then the king said to the attendants, “Bind him hand and foot and throw him into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.” For many are invited but not all are chosen.”

3. R. ...Every time I pray that prayer and others have told me this, I receive great graces from Him in that Mass. I feel immensely close to Him. He gave me a message this week to circulate the Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in all of the Churches. It has the Imprimatur on it. It is a most powerful prayer. We give our heart to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we ask to help make reparation for our sins against God. We help make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
