We can see how important it was
that people helped each other in
this crisis
and helped save their physical
lives.
Mothers and fathers cry for their

Husbands cry for their lost wives.
Now we turn to the sorrowful

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.

Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima
and Medjugorje
by Father Edward Carter, S.J.
On October 13, 1917, there were more than
70,000 people gathered in the Cova da Iria in Fatima, Portugal. They had come
to observe a miracle which had been foretold by the Blessed Virgin to three
young visionaries: Lucia dos Santos, and her two cousins, Jacinta and
Francisco Marto. (1) Shortly after noon, Our Lady appeared to the three
visionaries:
As the Lady was about to leave, she
pointed to the sun. Lucy excitedly repeated the gesture, and the people
looked into the sky. The rain had ceased, the clouds parted, and the sun
shone forth, but not in its usual brilliance. Instead, it appeared like a
silver disc, pale as the moon, at which all could gaze without straining
their eyes. Suddenly, impelled by some mysterious force, the disc began to
whirl in the sky, casting off great shafts of multicolored light. Red,
green, blue, yellow, violet—the enormous rays shot across the sky at all
angles, lighting up the entire countryside for many miles around, but
particularly the upturned faces of those 70,000 spellbound people.
After a few moments the wonder stopped,
but resumed again a second and a third time—three times in all—within
about 12 minutes. It seemed that the whole world was on fire, with the sun
spinning at a greater speed each time.
Then a gasp of terror rose from the
crowd, for the sun seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come crashing
down upon the horrified multitude.... Just when it seemed that the ball of
fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the sun
resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as ever.
When the people arose from the ground,
cries of astonishment were heard on all sides. Their clothes, which had been
soaking wet and muddy, now were clean and dry. Many of the sick and crippled
had been cured of their afflictions. (2)

October 13, 1917
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)

John 19: 25-27
Jesus and his mother
Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s
sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and
the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother,
‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your
mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

Messenger: Mary
stood beneath the cross of her Son and she was in such anguish, of this I
write.
She saw the anguish of her
beloved Son. She watched, she heard Him sigh, breath, she endured the time,
knowing the time was near for His death.
There was the intensity of
waiting during the passion. Think of her anguish watching him as He hung on
the cross.
Mary knew things from the
prophecy of Simeon. She knew of a deep sorrow to pierce her heart.
Think of the anguish of
her heart.
Think of Mary holding the
lifeless body of Jesus under the cross. Meditate on the sufferings she
endured.
Think of how she felt at
the tomb where they laid her Son.
Pray for light to know
more fully the heart of Mary in these sufferings.
Mary had such a deep
connection in her heart to Jesus. They were so united.
Death by crucifixion was
used to kill criminals. They crucified Jesus, the Son of God.

Messenger: It is
painful to see injustices in the world.
We go through sufferings
concerning injustices in the world. Mary cries out about the sins of her
children. We identify with Jesus. He knew all the souls that would be lost
despite His suffering.
Be with Jesus in the
garden of Gethsemane and see the sins of the world. Pray for knowledge to know
more about the souls being lost. We must pray more fervently. Beg for mercy
from God for our sins and the sins of the world.
I could write forever of
those moments of Mary as she stood beneath the cross or when she held the
lifeless body of her Son in her lap.
She shared in His Passion.
She stood and watched Him suffer. She did not take a pill to numb her pain,
nor was there any mechanism used to dull it. Every moment was with full
intensity as she watched His mutilated body be drained more and more of fluid
and blood until He took His last breath, giving His life for His precious
souls.
A person watching someone
linger with cancer can identify with Mary as she watched her beloved Son die.
We will die.
We must keep our focus on
the life hereafter.
A woman of beauty, our
Mother Mary, God allowed Mary to suffer.
Luke 2:35
and a sword will
pierce your soul too—so that the secret thoughts of many may be laid
bare.’

Messenger: Many
times we try to alleviate suffering from our lives.
Suffering was a major part
of the life of Mary.
Her heart was filled with
such knowledge. She knew joy and suffering. She watched her Son die a pitiable
death. Jesus is the Lamb of God.
We think we are so smart
here. Do we really know the ways of our God? We think the way it is at present
may go on and on. The flower eventually withers and fades and the beauty of
the full blossoming flower goes with time. A flower, once an instrument of awe
because of its beauty, may soon be thrown on a dung heap pile.
Our bodies may deteriorate
and decay, but God promises eternal life to those who love and serve Him.
Be with Mary outside the
tomb of Christ. Feel the emotion in Mary’s heart.
Pray for sorrow for our
sins and light to know God more and more.
Contemplate the joy of
Mary to know Christ has risen.
She saw her little baby
born in Bethlehem. Now she sees Him die on the cross. Christ her beloved Son,
rose victorious. We receive a sharing in His Divine life through baptism.
The rosary is so
beautiful. We meditate on the lives of Jesus and Mary.
We identify our lives with
Theirs. We live His life, death and resurrection in our lives. We ask God to
help us grow in a greater likeness to the New Adam and the New Eve.
Many times we take our
health for granted. God can call us from this life at any moment.
Written September 24, 2000
Messenger: I
watched by his bed.
A book for those who help cancer patients, for their
relatives and friends who need to cope with the suffering of losing a
loved one.
It was a quiet day or so it seemed, the long months of
watching John go "down hill" had come to an end.
I did not know that the end was indeed so near, but the
story had been written in the days that went before, but I really never read
the message given in the days that led up to that final page.
There were months of warnings, but I just lived every day
coping with that day’s events and when the final page was about to be
written, I felt shocked, empty and afraid.
The days before were all telling the story, but like anyone
in love with a family member, who wants to think that days of parting might be
so soon? Oh, but they were so soon. As I look back now, I see I just didn’t
recognize them.
Every person can only do so much, but out of love those we
love deeply and love us, sometimes, cover up their real conditions in an
attempt to live life as usual.
Cancer is a mighty menace. It attacks the weak and the
strong. It acts like an aggressive machine growing and growing inside
someone’s body and they may not notice the gradual sucking of their life
from the other parts of the body until it almost leaves them dead.
I was a little girl of five years old when the deadly
disease ate away the cells in my mother’s body as it took over her body and
she soon died.
But I am not here to make you feel sorry for me or to tell
you about anything new, but to write of the dying and rising of my dear
friend, Fr. Carter.
The signs were there, for in January he became very sick and
even though he wanted to go to the Virgin Mary building to say a private Mass
there, he could not go and the once held plane reservations were cancelled.
He remained sick and on February 5, 2000, when we opened the
Rosary Factory in Clearwater, Florida at Mary’s Image site, he did attend,
but he didn’t feel good and he continued trying really hard to serve us as a
ministry.
Now, I don’t know, in September after they opened him up
and told us what they did, how he ever did all he did, being so sick. It was
September 22, 2000, when they operated on him and it was January 22, 2000,
when we were supposed to go to Clearwater, Florida, exactly eight months
later.
Father Carter continued to keep a hectic schedule.
Jesus told him to write the lengthy spirituality newsletter
in which he summed up a great deal about the spiritual life. We could all
study it for our entire life.
As I write this, I don’t know if he will ever tape record
this 20 page newsletter or the next newsletter.
I do know this, the signs were there and Father worked
really hard to continue doing all he did despite his sickness, weakness. His
faith in the Movement never wavered. He had a burning desire to serve Jesus
and help renew the priesthood, the Church and the world.
Father worked and worked because he loved us all so much and
loved the world and he didn’t complain, ever.
His faith in this Movement and the messages of Jesus is
shown in his life given to this.
Father showed us the message of Jesus in his life. He lived
in such union with Him. He offered Mass every day praying so fervently for
souls and for all of us.
I see the signs especially on the trips. Mary was adorned in
gold on the building July 5, 2000, during the evening prayer service.

Messenger: Father was in the motel and he didn’t
feel good.
After the Mass he had to sit and he didn’t think he would
make it during the Mass because he was weak.
I watched a lot of Masses that way, between his blood sugar
levels and he seemed to just sigh sometimes to do ordinary motions, but he
kept serving God and loving us all.
I watched him look up to the Father and say, “through him,
with him and in him”.
Through Him, with Him and in Him

Messenger: He lived for the Mass. He offered it for
the Movement and for all of us, the whole Church and the world, to help bring
about the Reign of Jesus’ Sacred Heart.
I can show you the picture taken on my birthday, August 8,
2000, he looked really bad and I worried about him so much I cried as I spoke
to him, but in his calm, peaceful attitude, he assured me everything was okay
as God wanted it and he was getting proper care.

Messenger: Every day he looked weaker and he coughed
whenever he talked and we all prayed more.
He was determined to say Mass in China on the Feast of
Mary’s birthday, September 8, 2000, and he paid a big price for it.
For about 4 months he struggled with the cough and he walked
slower and slower and he looked sicker every day, but he knew what God was
telling him and about his mission.
