Excerpt from Newsletter Issue 3, 2000
And here are further words of John Paul II to priests: "Dear brothers: ...you who have put your hand to the plough and do not turn back, and perhaps even more those of you who are doubtful of the meaning of your vocation or of the value of your service: think of the places where people anxiously await a priest, and where for many years, feeling the lack of such a priest, they do not cease to hope for his presence. And sometimes it happens that they meet in an abandoned shrine, and place on the altar a stole which they still keep, and recite all the prayers of the Eucharistic Liturgy; and then, at the moment that corresponds to the transubstantiation a deep silence comes down upon them, a silence sometimes broken by a sob... so ardently do they desire to hear the words that only the lips of a priest can efficaciously utter... So deeply do they feel the absence of a priest among them!... Such places are not lacking in the world. So if one of you doubts the meaning of his Priesthood, if he thinks it is ‘socially’ fruitless or useless, reflect on this! 42

Our priests are so precious to us. Our Lord wants us to get the

Messenger:
I attend Mass yesterday which a priest from India celebrated.
He talked about Our holy Mother under the cross. I cried so
hard inside. I saw Mary as she appeared all those times
as the sorrowful Mother. I remembered her when she delivered
the messages about the Finding in the Temple.
When she appeared, it was made so clear to me through
words and interior revelations the deep, deep love Mary has for her
children. They wanted me to experience the sorrow of the heavenly
Mother through revelations. She knew from the prophesy of Simeon
that a sword would pierce her heart. Mary stood beneath the cross
of Jesus and the emotions in her heart were so many faceted.
Sorrow so deep to watch her Son suffer and yet joy to know that
the children of the earth would be so affected by the death of
her Son.
From the apparitions of Mary to me daily, I know this: I
know of the deep, deep love she has for her children here
below and she wants them to be forever in heaven. Mary and
Jesus spoke in the rosaries Rosaries from the Hearts
of Jesus and
Mary (in a red rosary book
September 16, 2001 message continues
Messenger: also a second book
of many pages
now available Volume II, but the Red Rosary book was
mostly received during her daily visits July 5, 1994 - September 5, 1995.)
I would receive very many strong rosaries from Jesus
and Mary on the Tuesday night Shepherd of Christ Meetings
at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, especially in the Sorrowful
Mother Chapel.
We see the deaths of this horrid experience, of our fellow
Americans we love so dearly, we mourn deeply inside
the agony of this tragedy.
Christ agonized in the garden at the loss of so many
souls despite His agonizing passion and His death on
the cross.
Mary cried out to me in those rosaries to reach the
souls. She said souls were falling into hell like rain.
Even after the daily appearances my own agony
was so great as I went to Immaculata daily and
received special revelations there. Father Carter told
me Our Lord wanted me to go there before the Mass
I went to. I went there at 12:00 noon everyday. These
accounts are in the Mass book.
At times I felt as if I could barely stand the pain
of not being able to reach the school children as
Mary had asked me to do daily those last nine months
she appeared with the rosary and consecration. I felt
as if swords were piercing my heart and sometimes my
left shoulder and side would hurt continually and I felt
it was so painful I could hardly stand it.
And They continued to reveal to me the agony about
the souls going to hell.
We can see the devastation of this occurrence
filled with death and our own grief is so great to see
the people dead and to mourn with their loved ones.
Can we not see the anguish of Mary who loves us
much more perfectly than any earthly mother when
she tells us about the souls of so many of her children
going to hell because of their sins.
Then I ask you to hear the message of Mary as she
delivered it at Fatima and remember the vision she
gave to 3 small children of hell.
Excerpt from Father Carter's Book
The Spirituality of Fatima
July 13, 1917
During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:
You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)
To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. if not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....
But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. (13)

to make the tape December 12, 1996 called Mary's Message.
It was the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Jesus and Mary
told me to put this on every tape. "Jesus and Mary requested that
this tape be made and circulated on Dec. 12, 1996 the Feast of
Our Lady of Guadalupe." Mary appeared on the building five
days later December 17, 1996.
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.

Many of my children are headed for perdition. Oh my children,

Excerpt from September 5, 2001 Rosary - Clearwater, Florida
The Ascension
Message after the glory be:
Jesus speaks:
Oh My children, it is love,
it is love that I desire,
and yet you are caught up in so
many of your things, in your ways,
and what you must do.
And you cannot control all the events
in your life no matter how hard you try,
and I am teaching you every day,
more and more every day.
I am teaching you in the trials that you
are permitted to undergo.
And many times, the very lesson that I
want to teach you, you do not learn,
for you try to alleviate the suffering or
the trial that I send to you, and I have to
send it again and again and again.
Oh My children, if you want the reign of peace
there must be peace in your own hearts.
You must seek for peace. In consecrating
your hearts to My Heart and the heart of
My Mother, you will live more and more
in peace.
Let go and surrender.
The rule I give to you tonight is to let go
and surrender, to pray the Our Father
and beg God to help you to be able
to live in His will, to pray for grace
that you will know more and more
what God's will is for you, for this
will bring you happiness.
It will be hard on you to live your life,
if you are at the helm and you are trying
to do it your way which is against God's
will.
Many problems that many have are because
they want things their way and they will not
surrender nor accept the things the way
that God wills them to be.
And yet it is the way to happiness,
and say with all your heart,
"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."

Mary speaks: Listen to His
words and live by them my children,
live to love your God and one another, obey the
commandments, live by His Word, obey the
Holy Father in Rome and do all that you can to
pray for peace. I ask you to pray the rosary daily.
My heart is pierced for my children that will lose
their souls. My children, I love them so dearly.
I appear to deliver this message to you. As a nation
I ask you to pray for the souls of my children. I ask
you to attend daily Mass when possible and pray
before the Blessed Sacrament. I ask you to consecrate
your hearts to my Immaculate Heart and tell you how
important it is to give your heart to my Son's Sacred Heart.
Make my Son Jesus the King and center of your
hearts.
He is your King.
You must live to please Him.
Messenger: During her apparition
Given August 5, 1995
Excerpt from the August 5, 1995 Rosary, The Coronation
- Mary speaks: My dear children, I am Mary, your Mother and I tell you how Satan is pressing down on this earth. He is causing confusion and division in your hearts. He is keeping you focused on problems and keeping you from your deep union with my Son. Come to my Heart and let me protect you in my motherly love. Give all your cares to me. I am guarding your children, and guarding your lives. I am your Mother of love. More than any earthly Mother, I love you!
You must surrender and come to Our Hearts for the days ahead will be hard and dark, and as Satan is pressing on you this day, he will press harder tomorrow. You must learn to put aside the distractions, the confusion, the division in your hearts and come to my Heart with a heart that is humble and filled with love. Satan talks in your mind and causes you to be upset. Let go, my little children. I am Mary, your Mother. I am appearing as Our Lady of Light to show you the way is the way through Our Hearts, to the light. Within your heart you will have a light that does not flicker. It is constantly burning, in deep love. You must not give in to the distractions in your mind.
Come to the tabernacle. My Son will give you all the answers. (Messenger: She is alive in the statue). He is waiting for you to come, come and sit in silence and let Him work in your heart. You will know what you are to do. You must come to the tabernacle. You must come to Mass and Communion. It is there you receive abundant graces from Him. You will be filled deeply with His life. Do not be filled with fear, be filled with hope and joy and pray to the Holy Spirit to give you His wisdom to know the will of the Father. (Messenger: She is alive in the statue - gorgeous).
- Mary: As you see me here before you, you know I am with you in all of your trials and all of your struggles. You must discipline your thoughts and come to my Son. It is through the Eucharist that you will be strengthened for all your trials.
- Song: Immaculate Mary
As the rain falls, so too many sufferings will fall around you. You will not be harmed, for I am protecting you with my motherly mantle. You must surrender and come to Our Hearts, be with my Son Jesus, deeply united in your hearts. Meditate on the presence of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit within you. Pray for the grace to know and love God more. Pray to the Father, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit, through the powerful intercession of the Virgin Mary.
Pray all through the day and offer all of your actions to the Father with your petitions in the morning. I am Mary, your Mother. You are being guarded and I am appearing to you to deliver this message - that your hearts will be quieted and you will be about the work of the Father in spreading the love of my Son Jesus into this world. The Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign. You should pray for the spread of the devotion to Our Two Hearts, and consecrate yourselves to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary every day.
I am Mary, your Mother, and I am guarding you.

Excerpt from September 5, 1999 message
Messenger: On September 5, 1995, I did a rosary before the Sorrowful Mother statue at a Shepherds of Christ meeting there (at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center). I was on retreat and felt immensely connected to God. My daughter video taped it.
On the Feast of the Sorrowful Mother, I was told to watch the video. A mist went over Mary. An audio tape is available concerning this information and a video tape of the mist. The audio tape is October 1, 1995, Love Songs and Messages. The video is A Mist Around Mary.
I sang, I Love You Jesus. I talked about the Trinity. The mist began in the lower right corner and went over Mary and ended there with I Love You Jesus.
I wish a copy of the words of the rosary be printed here while the mist was covering Mary. They are very important to Mary and our Lord.
September 5, 1995
Song: Oh burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You're here to love and care for me.
- Messenger: Be with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, kneel beside Him, see the rocks, see His brown hair and His beautiful face. This is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Be there and feel His presence and as you feel His presence, realize the presence of the Almighty God within your hearts: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. At this moment you are surrounded by Their divine love and your heart is burning within you as you kneel beside the Almighty God.
- We do not realize how close He truly is to us, that He wants to be one with us, through Him, with Him, and in Him, that He calls us to this union, to this oneness with Him. As we meditate on the mysteries of this rosary, let us unite in this oneness with the Almighty God Who cries from every tabernacle in this world - cries out deep cries of His burning love and they fall on deaf ears - Who comes to us and gives us Himself in the Holy Eucharist and is ignored and forgotten and treated with such indifference.
- Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who waits in all the tabernacles of the world in the Sacrament of greatest love, waiting a prisoner for His beloved souls to come and to be with Him. As present as the day that He knelt in the garden, in His Divinity and His Humanity, He waits in the tabernacle and we kneel before Him in front of the tabernacle, as we imagine that we knelt next to Him in the garden. This is the love that the Almighty God has for us. He remains with us this day and is forgotten and ignored. He calls out to His beloved souls, "Come to Me, you are blind and you are deaf, you do not know the great gifts that you are given. I am waiting and waiting for you to come. Come to Me, My beloved souls, I long and thirst to unite in deepest union with you."
We search this barren desert for things to fill our starved souls, when nothing on the face of the earth will fill the starved soul but the love of God and He is waiting and longing and thirsting for us to come and to be with Him.
Oh, beloved Jesus, truly present in the tabernacle, give us the grace to realize this great gift we are given, to cherish every single moment that we are in the presence of the Almighty God, to never take this for granted, to thank You endlessly for the great gift You have given to us, the gift of Yourself, that You are truly present, the gift that You give us in the Holy Eucharist, and Your Heart was in such anguish in the garden, your Heart of deepest love for all the souls that would treat You with such indifference and negligence. Your Heart of burning love is so often ignored and forgotten. My precious One, let me help make reparation to Your adorable Heart for all that you suffered in the garden for Your beloved souls who have forgotten You.
Song: Oh burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the Host, I know You're here to love and care for me.

Messenger:
Mary appeared every day. I saw her and so did another woman.
Here is one of the accounts from August 1, 1995.
"Mary is gorgeous, she is so illuminated and so beautiful.
The whole corner is filled with light. There is a pink-like hue all
around. She has been this way, I can't even tell you how
it is. Here is the message at the end of the rosary that day.
Mary is Crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth
Messenger: The soul is created
by the Father to know and love
God.
Our lives here are in preparation for our life
hereafter.
The Eucharist is such a gift God gives us.
Revelation 12: 1-2
Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.
Messenger:
Let us reach for the stars. Our soul craves
the love of God and only that will satisfy our
hearts.
Going to Their Hearts and dwelling there is our little
heaven on earth. The earth may rock and the sun may
cease to shine and the stars fall from the heavens but
within our hearts, inside of us, we will have peace
and joy for we will know the presence of the
Almighty God within us.
Mary speaks: My dear ones, the
times ahead will be dark and hard.
You must unite closer and closer to Our Hearts.
Satan is pressing down and distracting you to
keep you from your work of spreading Our love.
You must focus on the love of God and move
steadfastly ahead. Put aside distractions that
satan has created and know how strong he is
at this time and how he is pressing down.
You are being tormented in many ways,
through your health and little incidents
that are occurring in your lives.
Know that I am Mary your Mother and
I am forever by your side protecting you
and guarding you.
Do not give into the irritations and the sufferings
you are going through.
You will have thorns and roses.
Know that in all your sufferings if you
stay rooted to Jesus, they can lead you
into a deeper union with Him, deeper
and deeper than you have ever experienced
before.
As you suffer enduring them according to God's
will and offering them up as a sacrifice,
you can help to bring down great grace
for the world.
You will know Jesus more and more and partake
more fully in His life if you stay rooted in Him.
You must focus on the great gifts that you are
given. You are given gifts that are very special
my chosen ones. They were given to help you
to do the task that you are being called to do,
to go into this world to spread the love of
Our two Hearts.
You are chosen my sweet adorable children
and you have answered the call. I am
Mary your Mother and I am guarding you
and loving you and holding you close
to my heart.
