Consecration Prayer for Peace
I consecrate Russia and the Ukraine to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I further consecrate the priests, the Church and the world to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Immaculate Heart of Mary.
I do this in the name of Jesus in as far as I am able, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory through the powerful intercession of Mary, Queen of Peace. Amen.
I further consecrate myself, all members of my family and ask the Holy Spirit to fill us. I spread the Blood of Jesus on all above, I cast the devil into hell away from all of us and consecrate all persons, in as far as I am able, to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart.
Prayer for Grace for Election and our Country
Dear Father united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present, celebrated around the world, in the Holy Spirit. We offer up all we do united to the Mass. We unite in one mind and one heart as members of the mystical body of Christ, with Christ our head in the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary, through the powerful intercession of Mary with all the angels and saints and souls in purgatory, and we beg for the saving grace, for our country, the United States. Please help us. We further pray for unity to always do the will of God in love. We spread the Blood of Jesus on the leaders and people of the United States and cast the devil into hell. We consecrate our country to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart and all our dioceses, and beg for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. God help us. We pray for our families, the priests, the Church and the world. In the Name of Jesus please hear us, we pray. We pray for our president and leaders. We pray that we are united as one nation under God to work together in love as God wants. We pray for the upcoming election.
Morning Offering
Dear Father,
I offer up all I do all day united to Jesus
in the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, through
the powerful intercession of Mary, our
spiritual Mother, with all the angels and
saints, and the souls in purgatory, for
the priest, the Church, and the world.
We love You God so much.
We thank You and adore You and
petition You for our needs. Amen.

R. When we go to the Eucharist we should be
transformed.
I think of King Saul in the Old Testament, he
did not obey and he lost his favor with God.
He had a free will, he should have obeyed, he
did not, he did his will and not God's.
How low he went.
Like Judas - Jesus loved him, but how low
he went.
Mary tells us we must pray for her children
that are lost.
We can either choose God or we can do our
own will and disobey Him.
Adam and Eve disobeyed God and sin entered
the world.
What an important calling we have to follow
Jesus and be witnesses of the Gospel.
Dear God please give us the grace we need most.
Holy Spirit please give us Your gifts.
August 4, 2025
R. Dear God,
I love You so much.
Thank You for all You have given us in
Shepherds of Christ.
Thank You for Your love.
Thank You for the priest and the Mass.
Thank You for everything.
Love is everything.
God is love.
Heaven is for lovers.
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
Life is in Him.
God will not be out-done in generosity.
God wants our obedience and love.
God created us to know, love and serve Him
and love our neighbor as ourselves.
People will see our good works and praise our
Father in heaven.
We honor God in all we do, we praise and love
Him above all else.
This is winning for the Kingdom of God.
We are not here for winning for our own self-
promotion, we are here to follow Jesus and live
in the Father’s will in love.
Jesus showed us that the victory was won in
the Resurrection, but Jesus was willing to pay
a precious price.
Oh God I love You, I want to do Your will
in love.
God calls us to be witnesses. God calls us to
put Him first.
We must die to our selfish-will to live the
Resurrected life.
God sends people in our lives to help us.
God does not abandon us in days of trial and
trouble.
We are never too old to change.
Take the courage to love.
Love isn't love until you give it away.
Love is giving for the good of the other.
God has made us so beautifully to give us gifts
beyond anything we even understand and yet
are in our heart and soul.
My love for God is beyond our own understanding.
February 5, 2001
R. Dear God,
I am sorry for my sins, when I die, I want
to go to heaven.
Dear God I love You.
Please help me.
Amen.
When there is a problem -
Don't divide.
Join forces, unite -
Work together.
Stay united,
Work as a team.
One in God.
Pray and have faith.
Believe in God's power.The Our Father
Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
R. We are weak, in Him we are strong!
Believe and Reach.
Thank You God.!!!!!!
Alleluia!!!
God is a God of miracles;
He hears our prayers!
Life is short, don't miss the opportunities we
have when we live united and do God's will.
June 23, 2017 - Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
October 4, 1993 - Monday
Jesus: I come to you, little one, in the night. My hand rests on your shoulder and you walk not alone. You are guarded by Me, My work is there for you to do. Strive, always, to be doing My work, even if it is just smiling. Smiling is important work. My work waits and if you don't do the work I have planned, it does not get done. My job is top priority - all else falls into line when you give Me My due and all else falls out of line when you cheat Me. Smile that others may know your beautiful Savior. He is alive in each of you if you allow Him to be.
September 28, 1993 - Tuesday
Jesus: You are My precious child, I am so close to you, reach out and you will touch Me by your side. You shine like a morning star because I created you and I love you so. Know your dignity, little lights in this world, you are loved by the one true, God. You are My precious creation. Hold tight to this. Know I am shining bright on you, unworthy though you are, you are the light to the bowed down, the spark to the fire. You are what sets love in motion, by My love generated and alive in your heart, you are My favored children, beloved of My Father. Look upon yourself with dignity and honor. You are clothed so by God. Shine little stars in this dark night. I am your God and I have all the power, don't ever doubt Me little one, I love you so much. Come to Me and let Me shine on you and fill you with My gifts given freely to you. Little lights, light up My world, stay rooted in Me, shine your brightest that I might live in you and help My children through you.
I am God, I am all powerful, I am the light. I am the way, the truth, the light and I am the God of this whole world, tell all of My glorious love for them. Proclaim it from the housetops that they are of dignity because they are created by God. Build My Kingdom. Come close to Me. Let Me touch your lives, I love you so much, little ones.
R. Jonah did not want to obey God.
Instead of doing what God wanted – he
went his own way on a boat.
There was a storm.
Jonah went overboard.
What good does it do a man to be in
New York when God is calling
him to California –
The devil tempts men with greed –
The devil is out to divide and stop the
things that need to get done –
The attitude – never enough –
Addicted to excitement
Instead of putting the nose to the grindstone –
the man can work against his
calling, vocation because he
is tempted to do more – abandon the ship
God wanted him on – so he sails away
and says –
"God won't stop me –
I can do what I want" –
Testing God –
Jonah was in the sea and
he was swallowed by a big fish –
God is our strength –
When He gives us a job – He gives
us what we need to handle it!
It was God's will Jonah went
to Nineveh –
Jonah was to do a job –
He ended up in Nineveh!
When you run away from God's calling
things get worse –
If we make decisions on if people
like or not like us –
If we make decisions on if it
is our comfort zone –
If we make decisions on our past
bad habits –
Then we're not making decisions on if
it is God's will –
Some people never get out of the way –
they are always focused on themselves –
If God calls us to pray with others –
it's lifting our minds and hearts
up to God –
It is meditating on Christ's life –
It is dying to our behavior not like
Jesus and rising to new life
in Him –
Loving the other is for the good of the
other –
Praying is uniting to God and lifting
our hearts –
Giving ourselves to God's plan –
Why do I pray?
We have the big picture –
God, the world, ourselves,
our brothers –
love – unity – healing
lifting up –
and eternal salvation
God wants us to be virtuous,
have courage, have faith,
give ourselves –
Let go – go out of the way and
let God operate in us –
What is God's plan for me, to love
God – to serve God – to know God
and to love my brothers as myself –
Our decisions should be made on
what is God's will –
not if we are afraid or not –
God wants courage
God wants faith in Him!
Do we make decisions on if it is
difficult or not –
Do you make decisions on if you
are in control –
Being afraid is not a reason to do
something if it is opposed to God's will!
Doing God's will means – WE OBEY God!
We do it the way God wants!
We do it in God's timing!
We do it the best we can with His
help –
He must increase, I must decrease –
This takes praying for God's grace –
It takes real, intimate relationship
with God –
It takes living the Christ-life –
It takes being one in the Holy Spirit –
It takes dependency on God –
Doing what God wants –
Obedience to God!
Doing it in God's timing –
Doing it the way God tells us to do it –
HOW – God wants it
WHEN – God wants it
THE WAY – God wants it –
God wants obedience to His will –
It is a life-long process –
We seek to know God's will every day
of our life –
Obedience to God is the best way!
God is over us –
God is the ruler
God is in control –
We have a free will –
A person can oppose God's will –
Be independent –
See themselves over God –
which causes heartache –
suffering and problems –
God is the ruler –
God made the universe –
God can rule over us –
we must learn to be under God –
not oppose Him to do our
own will –
We must have faith to be able to
obey God –
We believe in God –
We pray for the grace to obey God –
We pray for the grace we need most –
Then we get out of the way and let
God operate in us –
A person who does not have faith
in God will have an
enemy on their hands –
Living in disobedience – Rebellion
has consequences.
There are wars – disorder etc. –
Look at salvation history for those
who opposed God –
Look at the prophets who obeyed
God and how they led the people –
God is the Master –
All Fr. Carter's Tell My People messages –
Jesus started
"I am Lord and Master"
"I am Chief Shepherd of the Flock"
God has a plan
Obedience takes courage –
You need the virtue of fortitude to be
strong –
this is a gift of the Holy Spirit
This is not easy – we need this
strength from God –
God commands us to follow
His law –
To love likened to God
we must be strong!
To be as God wants we must
have courage!
The prophets were given jobs
to go to rebellious people –
the rebellious people fought the prophets –
The Israelites disobeyed –
Moses had a hard job –
God called Joshua –
Who would want a job of dealing with
rebellious people – fighting
them to rule and be
disobedient to God –
Obedience requires courage –
We have to do things in the WAY
God wants –
We have to do things HOW
God wants.
We have to do things in the
Timing God wants!
Obedience requires courage –
Wait on the Lord –
God's timing is perfect
God knows –
God knows what He created
us to do in our life –
We can put ourselves on the
throne –
We must go to God before we
make decisions –
We don't do it - "willy-nilly"
to get it done –
to get it off our plate –
We don't listen to satan's timing!
The best way is doing God's will –
in God's timing –
If we don't listen to God we lose out!
God gives us His Word –
We are to live by His Word –
Think about the Word –
Obey the Word of God –
God gives us His Word –
The Word and the Eucharist is
the Bread of Life –
God gives us a sharing in His life
in Baptism –
and feeds this life with
the Bread of Life –
It's easy to just do what you
want and ignore everybody else!
God makes His will known to us –
We can live by it or
reject it and do thing opposed
to God's will –
Be independent!
Do we listen to God, authority –
those over us – or do we
levitate to living
everything according to our will
opposed to God –
Living opposed to God's will
IS NOT LIVING –
NOT THE RIGHT WAY –
Do we listen to satan – telling us to
focus on ourselves – obedience to satan –
We can pray and God sends a person
to help us
and we can listen to everybody
but what God wants for us –
Saying
"Nobody tells me what to do"
We have to seek the Holy Spirit.
Discern the spirits –
Not formulate an agenda to fit
your will – and keep doing
the same thing that never
worked –
I taught math – if you couldn't get
a problem you did it different ways
that were working in right principles –
You didn't keep working the same
problem over and over and over
the wrong way because it was familiar.
To obey God – we have to not give
into sin –
We can't give into sin – QUIT SINNING
When a person sins they offend God –
they hurt their relationship –
they must ask for forgiveness –
Say they are sorry –
Not do it again –
Repent –
Deal with what they did –
Not deny it and do something worse
and stay enslaved to satan –
God calls us to do what He wants –
That means we walk in the unknown –
Look at Abraham, Isaac, Joseph –
God showed them –
God showed Jeremiah –
God works this way – He leads us
in the unknown –
We say "yes"
God wants us to follow Him –
God guides us –
God leads us in the unknown –
Baby - steps –
I never knew where God was
taking me a quarter of a
century ago –
December 17, 1991
Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.
His Burning Heart
R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.
I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these letters—to draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:
"Open your heart to the fire of God's love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love."end of writing
5 Years Later
December 19, 1996
Mary: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.
I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.
I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book. end of December 19, 1996

R. God is an awesome God.
We must pray to recognize our
rebellious heart –
Pray to God to clean our hearts of
rebellion against His will –
Ask for forgiveness –
Beg for courage to be obedient
God is faithful to His promise –
He will lead us –
We must seek His will and
get out of His way –
Beg for His blessings
What we do has eternal consequences
God loves us
Positive Imagining
Filling our hearts with light –
Asking the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts
R. Where would we go if we died today?
Did we live our lives to prepare
for our eternal salvation?
ARE WE READY?
What is right in my life?
What do I need to die to?
Do we live as servants and
handmaids of the Lord?
Make a commitment –
Live by your word to put
God on the throne in your life.
Get out of the way.
Be obedient to the rules –
Respect authority –
Learn to give –
Learn to receive –
The Lord will rule –
Jesus is the King –
Jesus is to be King of our hearts –
Sin is Bondage, suffering,
disorder, darkness.
Given January 10, 2016
R. Hope –
The enemy of hope is despair –
but the person who sees their
brothers with envy and jealousy
and acts in pride and slothfulness
is not focusing on the hope of
eternal salvation –
for the person with hope seeks their
eternal reward and desires
to help all others to achieve
their work in God's plan and
also have eternal salvation –
Loving is giving what God wants us
to give for the good of the other –
God is all good, God is all merciful –
Judas despaired –
Judas was full of pride –
Satan wants a man to seek a place above
God or equal to God as satan used
when he tempted Eve in the Garden.
Eve wanted to be equal to God.
Presumption is when a man assumes
God will give happiness to him
when he is sinning.
God is just, but He is merciful to
the sinner contritely seeking forgiveness.
Bishop Sheen says that sin is sin, but
what is worse is the man who
won't repent or admit he sins –
that is a man thinking God will
bless him while he refuses
to admit his sin and will not repent.
God has a plan for us –
A man is not, really happy, when he
makes habits of projecting his
jealousy and anger and envy on
innocent men. When he lives
pridefully looking down on others
he is doing this to Jesus. When
we love our brothers we see –
we are loving God whom we don't
see.
When a man is not focused on his eternal
life and lives in a darkened state
of anger and jealousy and envy
and hatred – he doesn't feel
good inside – he becomes more
angry because he distances
himself more and more from
God the more he gives into his anger,
competition, pride, argumentation,
envy, jealousy and it really
ends in hating others.
Fr. Carter calls acting unlovingly
against our neighbor – SIN.
God gives us dignity – In baptism
we see ourselves as sons of
God, we know God loved us
and loves us so much – that
Jesus died for us – so we could
go to heaven someday if we
know and love God and serve
Him as He desires.
A man who is angry inside and
full of bitterness – makes himself more
angry by sinning against the righteous
man more and more. The man living
in pride and anger and jealousy
and envy becomes more and more
bitter by his ugly actions projected
on innocent men, when he has
no sign of repentance and sorrow
for his ways. He is putting himself
in constant bondage and walking
in darkness instead of living
in the light –
Hell is total despair
Hell is hate
Hell is total darkness and
isolation –
This constant living in darkness
leads to more and more distortion
of the truth – living as a
prideful, angry, jealous,
envious, slothful person
leads to a very unhappy journey,
a dangerous journey in the one
life we have to show God we
want to grow the way He wants
us to be.
It's like flunking the test on
purpose.
Why? Why?
God is so Good –
God is all powerful –
This bitterness toward others grows,
there are also the deadly sins of lust
and gluttony – in lust a man is
not respectful of himself and others.
We are here to seek purity in our
hearts and souls. To make God the
King of our hearts. Making Jesus the
King and center of our hearts leads
us to be loving. We pray to the Holy Spirit
through the powerful intercession of
Mary to mold us more and more in
the image of Jesus.
The man of presumption just
thinks God will give him a reward
even though he was sinful and
didn't repent. A person who
mistreats others and punishes
them for their anger may presumptuously
think God will still give him
a reward despite his despicable
behavior.
The Holy Spirit gives us gifts –
like fear of the Lord where we
don't want to offend God with
the smallest sin. The man of
presumption can go deeper and
deeper into his false hope that
God will ignore his unrepented
sins –
A man of false hope is blinded
many times, by the fact he falsely
thinks that he can do anything that is
sinful and God won't hold him
accountable and responsible for
his sins.
When men lose hope they
can succumb to violence.
The darkness becomes ever darker.
How dark is the darkness of
living in sin and not trying
to ever change pridefulness,
envy, jealousy, anger, slothfulness
lust etc.
A person does not stay the same
in the spiritual life. God calls us
to holiness, but a person can
oppose God by living in rebelling,
unloving hateful ways toward his
brothers.
We are to seek the vision of God
To see the vision of God we must
have hope of our eternal life
as a reward for living as God
wants us to live – according to
His will in love – and
hoping for eternal salvation for
our brothers.
Jesus paid a big price for our
sins.
We must return to the love of God
through faith and hope!!
Faith is seeing through the eyes of
the heavenly Father embracing
God's plan – seeking the vision
of God
We seek true happiness in heaven
because we live as God commands
us to live according to the Father's
will in love
Hope brings happiness to the
heart of man.
God is love and God gives us
the gift of loving us and
we are to work for our eternal
salvation in loving according to His will.

Oh!, The Gift of the Mass
September 3, 1993
Jesus: My dear child, I am the way, the truth and the light. He who abides in Me will have the light of life. The gift I give is My Body and Blood. Come and sup with Me and you will have life eternal. For My Blood is drink indeed, and My Body I give to you that you might live. This is all you need. Drink My Blood, eat My Body and you will have life eternal.
Oh, the gift of the Mass! What a gift you are given! Do you treasure this gift, My little ones? Do you know what transpires here or are you half dazed and not present? Be present, for this is the most magnificent event that there is! Dote on every word. Feel the intensity in your heart. Be present in body and soul. Beg to attend as you should to savor all the Mass has to give you! Every word is magnificent. I am here. I am the sacrifice. I shed My Blood that you, oh My precious ones, might live with Me forever in heaven. Praise Me. Thank Me. Know how truly blessed you are. You are so lucky to be here this day with Me. Nothing else you do even comes close to the importance of My Mass. Savor every moment. Participate with your hearts on fire.
You are the chosen that you are here. Come and be close to Me now. Prepare yourself for My marvelous event, just for you. Thank Me. Give Me honor. I am God and I am here for you. I am truly in this place, Body and Soul, humanity and divinity. God is here with you truly, little one. Should not My children flock to be present to Me, to see God, to receive God in their hearts? I am food, indeed. You need no other food. I give you food for life and I am here for you because of My intense love for you. Doesn't it make you want to shout for joy and sing praises to the God Who loves you? Come to Me with your hearts on fire, not all bowed down. If a king were here you would come with enthusiasm. I, My children, am God, yet you stay away and those who come are half asleep. I am greater than any earthly king. I am God and My kingdom is not of this world!
God the Father: I want to be praised and honored and thanked and adored, but I am ignored and left out of their lives. Oh, how this hurts Me to the point of tears. They do not even speak to Me. This is agonizing. I am He Who made you and I sent My Son to dwell with you and you are busy eating cakes. Why are you My little blind children? You do not give the honor I deserve. All else is useless. If your lives are not rooted in Me, you are wandering this valley in darkness. Come to Me! Come into the light! I am He Who created you and loves you.
I am God and I long to be with you in My Son. This message I give to My children that they know how I wait and wait for them. I love them with such intensity as only God can give. No man can love you as God loves you. You will never know the extent of My love on earth. Oh, come to Me, My children! My arms are open wide. My heart is on fire with love for you. You are My chosen ones. I wait and wait for you. I never move from your side. I am here at every minute. Day and night, My hand is on each of you, protecting you. My love is so intense for you! Come, come, let me fill you to the brim and you will know that I have such gifts to give you. I am your God and I love you.
I cannot make humans understand My divine love. Listen to Me. Be attentive to My calling you. I wait, little ones. Come and be with Me in church before the tabernacle. Come to Me.
September 16, 1993
Jesus: My child, I am here in all this muck. Yes, you are tried and I spit you out. You know Who has the power. You know whence you are coming. All life is indeed rooted in Me and from Me comes all that is. Do you comprehend this, My child? Do you know that no life is there without Me? People think they have power. Oh, they believe they are in charge. There is no power except through Me. If I choose to forget you, you cease to be. Cling to this power. Cling to Me as you follow the celebrity or the king or the Pope. I am God. I am One, I am True, I am Omnipotent, I am all that is. You must stay fixed to Me like glue, child.
Child, no life exists without Me. Turn your lives to Me, precious little ones. Turn over every minute, every second of every day. You think you have control of your life. You silly, silly children--what control? I make the stars shine, the sun shed its light, the moon light up the night. I make the baby in the womb, the trees grow, the animals live--and you say, "Oh, Yes, I can do all things." Little one, you can do no things unless I give you the power. You cease to be without Me. Oh, how silly you indeed are, little ones, to fret and fume and look for your answers. What are you doing? Live, child! I give you your answers in My times. All works as I have planned.
You and your willfulness! You mess things up and then come to pray. What is in your heads? Let your hearts be directed by My spirit. Come to Me first, every second. Then you never run amok, you do the right thing always. Pray, fast, look for My answers. Spend your time alone with Me, not in deliberation in your heads. Oh, ye children, what, what do you do to yourselves? I am here by your side. I am present truly in the tabernacle and you go to each other and ask your questions. When will you submit yourselves to the will of the father? Why do you wander in blindness in this barren desert?
Come to Me and I will give you rest. I will give you all you need, little ones. You are so silly. Power--you have none, child. You are powerless. You are willful. You must stay fixed to Me and My ways. Oh, oh how do I make you understand when you won't listen to Me? I speak, you don't listen. I love you so. I want you not to suffer your own dilemmas, but you turn your backs and ask your questions of those no smarter than you. Your wisdom comes from Me, the one, true God.
Come, little ones, My will for you is not a secret. You have to break the code. It is here. I make it known to you. "In the silence comes His word to the poor and lowly ones in pain." I am all you need, little blind, scared children. You need not be any of these things. Come to Me, beloved little ones, and I will set your toes on the right road. You will not falter. You will run and not get weary. You will indeed fly on eagles' wings and I will be there telling you all you need to know.

Jesus: My dear child, I am not mad at you. You feel such fear in your heart. That is Satan. Focus on Me and My love. I love you intently. All will work out. You have to always see Me as by your side. You are so afraid inside that you are not good enough. You are, My precious child. I love you with My Godly love. You I guard, you I watch, you I wait for and want to be with. Feel your preciousness and value. There is not a time I like you, then I don't. I am not like man. I love you unconditionally. In your bad days, in your darkness, I wait, I watch, I am hyper-vigilant. I never leave your side. Know My presence in all things. Be assured of My fabulous love for you. Whatever transpires, I did it out of love of you. I long to be close to you and see you in heaven. You are My favored child. I watch and wait. Do not doubt yourself, little one. I am pleased with you. Satan would have a field day if he could work on you.
You must never doubt your specialness. You must always know that you are My love. I love you so. All I do is for love of you. Make a list of all the times you felt My marvelous love, when you knew only I could have helped you. Keep this list in front of your mind. When doubt arises, read the list to yourself. Study and memorize this. This will help cast all doubts aside. The more you read and reread these letters, the more true I will become to you.
I am Jesus, the one, true God. I was crucified for love of you and you are still doubting your worth. You are so important to Me. I would die for you. Oh, little children, wake up, see your specialness. Know I love you with the greatest love. Cast Satan and his hatred and doubts aside. Send him back to hell! Let My light shine in your hearts. Be open to Me as loving you at every second. Know I, God, wait to be with you. Never look at yourself with anything but so much value and love. Then your light will shine because you will be filled by all I can give you.
You are My special, special child. Tell all of My intense love for them. It never dies, it does not flicker, it is so bright, it fills the empty heart and makes it radiate with love. Then you can do My work. You cannot work for Me when you are bowed down. It is only when you are filled up that My light shines from you. I, yes, make the crooked ways straight. I am the spark to the cold heart. I am He Who holds you in My hands and warms your troubled soul. I love you, I love you. Realize this so you may love others. See yourself with My light glowing about you. This will make you realize how special you are. You must love yourself, and see your own beauty, to love others for Me. You are indeed beautiful, you are precious, you are My child. I love you, baby. Know this--you are loved by your Father, the greatest Father that ever was. Your Mother is the most loving Mother. I am Jesus. I am your spouse. I love as no man ever could. The Holy Spirit is on fire with the love He gives you.
You are a fireball if you see yourself as such. Now love for Me with this fire. Set your hearts about the job of radiating My embers to all My children. You will shine and all will know I am your God and they are loved by Me.
I love you, children. Listen to Me. This is where your strength lies in this cold, cold world.
I love you. It is food. It is fuel. It is I, on fire with love of you.
Precious you, I love you, I love you, I love you.
September 21, 1993
Jesus: My dear child, I am the bread of life. I give food to the hungry. My life I give that you might have life. Treasure My gift to you and be so attentive to this gift. I am the one, true God and I give My gift to you. You will not thirst. You will run and not get weary. You are coming to My glorious event. All will be beautiful for I am with you in your honor and praise. I love you so, little one.
You scarce can speak when you receive Me. That is because you are realizing My True Presence. I am there, little one. I died for you that you might live forever and the gift I give is My life. What friend would lay down His life for another? This, My dear, is love, love as I teach you to give to your brothers--not only loving those who are nice, but also those who are not nice. To those who hate and scorn and ignore you, My gift I give to you. It is My life that you may live.
Come unto Me, all who labor and are heavily burdened. I give you all you need. I make your ways straight and I set your foot on solid paths. I am the God of all your ancestors. You come to Me and I fill you as I did them. I give you water for your thirst and food for your soul. You are sheltered under My wing as a little bird. I take care of you and protect you from the scorching sun. I give you little worms and protect you. I give you water for your thirst. You live and grow. And who takes care of these little birds? I do. Did you wonder who was watching out for them? Well, wonder no more. Are you not more valuable. Do you not know how precious you are to Me? I am your love and I watch out for you every minute. I pick you up when you stumble and fall. I watch your every move.
Oh, little one, stop fuming and fretting. You are indeed wasting your life away and I need you to do My work. What is My work? It is staying fixed in Me. It is smiling My smiles. It is being gentle. It is being kind. It is being as I am in the world. It is not being like the world. The world is hard, and hardened in heart. Its people wander in hatred and wonder why they feel glum in their hearts. Wander in love and feel joy in your hearts, little ones.
Love makes the little scared child feel unafraid. Love comforts a hurting soul. Love given to all is My way. The world is out for itself. It wants you to step on your brother, get even with him, never give more than you get. Oh, you selfish world, what a terrible agony to carry in your heart--keeping track of all you were given so you cannot give any more to them.
Hard cheeked, stone-jawed, do you feel good? Little hardened hearts, give and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you. It is in giving that you receive. Give your smiles, your time, your money. These are your brothers, little one. Do not refuse what is their due.
Walk and not get weary, run and fly, follow Me and your hearts are joyous. I fill you with good things. Your heart is filled to the brim with love. Come, little ones, open your eyes. There is more work done in love than in hatred. Love your enemies. Love those who are mean to you. You will receive more benefits than they. It hurts your hearts to be "even-Stephen". It is a needless task. Fill your soul with My love, little ones. I can do these things with you.
You will only act from love. Love is the key to unlock the hardened heart. Love the child I created and hate the evil the devil does through them. They are My beautiful children. They do evil works. Pray for them, little ones. They surely need your prayers and your love. I love them. Love for Me. I need you to love, little children. Love one another and be there for each other. Minister to the haters. They are still beautiful in My sight. I love them and you.

Jesus: I am the Good Shepherd. I know Mine and Mine know Me. I know the inner workings of the heart and your desire to be alone with Me. Forget everybody else. Just let Me talk to you now. I am truly here, just you and Me. I am your precious Savior, even in distraction. Find My peace. Feel My warmth by your side. Let go of every problem, every distraction. See Me looking at you, My eyes gentle, My smile very slight, loving you in My gaze. All else is fuzzy around you. I am with you--you and Me alone. I am standing in front of you, My hands outstretched, dressed in white. You feel My peace surround you. Warmth. It is as if smoke surrounds us and we are encased in this screen of smoke, all by ourselves.
Feel My power radiating to you. You are engulfed in peace. The world could stop and you wouldn't know and you wouldn't care. I am all you need. Your heart stops beating except for My presence. We are so close. There is such peace there that you never want to leave or care about anything else. I am the Lord, your God. I am your all. I am with you and you are filled by Me. It is such a fullness. The light and warmth that surround us are nothing you could describe. Power--waves of power in the air almost like a magnet--nothing else matters. This is how it is in your life. All is insignificant except in Me. You can be with Me in a crowd. You can block out all things around you and feel My presence. This is what you must learn to do--be alone with Me in a crowd. I am all that matters. Anywhere you are, all people, places and things are insignificant if not seen in Me.
Through the day you must have these moments alone with Me. Come and sit with Me now. I am standing in front of you or I can be sitting with you, but think of us all alone, Me clothed in white, a smoke screen about us. My arms are open and I embrace you and you feel engulfed by My love. You are filled with such peace when you come to sit here alone with Me. See this picture. Feel the pull to Me in your heart--a flutter, a magnetism to be drawn to Me. I am all you need. Nothing else is important. I fill you so you will radiate My love to your brothers. I call you to this place with Me that you are filled to do My work. Come alone and be with Me. I wait with open arms at any time to be with you! It pleases Me so for you to stop and sit with Me, even in a crowd. At work, anywhere you are, come and sit with Me and I will give you My peace and love and your day will start anew. You are refreshed and sent on My mission with My love in your heart. I am the Good Shepherd. I know Mine and Mine know Me. I bid you come and sup with Me. I love you, little one. I am your Jesus. I love you.

Matthew 22: 36-40
'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'
Dear Holy Spirit, strengthen our will and
move like a Divine breath in our soul, to
be docile sons and daughters of our
Heavenly Father. Amen.

Mysteries of Light
The Baptism of Jesus
1. Mark 1: 9-11It was at this time that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptised in the Jordan by John. And at once, as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit, like a dove, descending on him. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you.’
2. We hear the Father introduce Jesus to the world.
Jesus is not only the servant, but God’s beloved Son.
3. ”This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.”
4. The Father is pleased at Jesus, the Father wants us
to be in the image and likeness of Jesus.
5. To be in the image and likeness of Jesus, we must
try to love like Jesus.
6. Many went before us and sacrificed in their lives for us.
7. We were all created by the Father for a special purpose.
8. Romans 8:14-17All who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God; for what you received was not the spirit of slavery to bring you back into fear; you received the Spirit of adoption, enabling us to cry out, 'Abba, Father!' The Spirit himself joins with our spirit to bear witness that we are children of God. And if we are children, then we are heirs, heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ, provided that we share his suffering, so as to share his glory.
9. The greatest sacrifice is Jesus dying on the cross.
10. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary,
sacramentally made present.
The Marriage at Cana
1. John 2: 1-10On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’
2. Jesus began His public life at the Baptism of Jesus.
3. Jesus performed His first miracle at Cana.
4. Jesus lived the quiet life for 30 years.
5. Romans 6:3-5You cannot have forgotten that all of us, when we were baptised into Christ Jesus, were baptised into his death. So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too should begin living a new life. If we have been joined to him by dying a death like his, so we shall be by a resurrection like his;
6. Jesus performed so many miracles in His public life.
7. God is a God of miracles.
8. 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
9. A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb the Bridegroom of the Soul
Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.
10. A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest
love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.
-Mass Book, December 27, 1995
Building the Kingdom of God
1. John 18: 36-37Jesus replied, ‘Mine is not a kingdom of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my men would have fought to prevent my being surrendered to the Jews. As it is, my kingdom does not belong here.’ Pilate said, ‘So, then you are a king?’ Jesus answered, ‘It is you who say that I am a king. I was born for this, I came into the world for this, to bear witness to the truth; and all who are on the side of truth listen to my voice.’
2. When we love someone we give them what is
most precious to us.
We give them ourselves.
3. God the Father gives us Jesus.
Jesus is most precious to God the Father.
4. Love gives for the good of the other.
The Father accepts our sacrifice united to Jesus
in the Mass and the Father gives us Jesus in
Holy communion.
5. Then Jesus emptied Himself for us, His beloved ones.
Jesus comes to us - Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity
in the Eucharist!!!
6. This is love.
This is His message!
Love gives of oneself, like Jesus the greatest lover!!!!!!
7. Pedro Arrupe“Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in a love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.”
8. Sing: The King of Glory
9. Sing: In My Heart
10. Sing: Our Lady of Clearwater
The Transfiguration
1. Mark 9: 2-8Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, ‘Rabbi,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.
