I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

Messenger:        Song: Hail Mary Gentle Woman  

                           Fr. Carter wanted us to begin every Mass

                                with this song in China, then Jesus told me

                                to follow it with the Song from Jesus.

                            We had songs to the Two Hearts right in the beginning

                                of Mass.

                            Today is the Feast of St. Robert Bellarmine,

                                I feel very united to this Jesuit saint.

Genesis 1:26 - 2:3  

    God said, ‘Let us make man in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals and all the creatures that creep along the ground.’ 

    God created man in the image of himself, 
    in the image of God he created him, 
    male and female he created them. 

    God blessed them, saying to them, ‘Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven and all the living creatures that move on earth.’ God also said, ‘Look, to you I give all the seed–bearing plants everywhere on the surface of the earth, and all the trees with seed–bearing fruit; this will be your food. And to all the wild animals, all the birds of heaven and all the living creatures that creep along the ground, I give all the foliage of the plants as their food.’ And so it was. God saw all he had made, and indeed it was very good. Evening came and morning came: the sixth day.

Thus heaven and earth were completed with all their array. On the seventh day God had completed the work he had been doing. He rested on the seventh day after all the work he had been doing. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on that day he rested after all his work of creating.   

Genesis 2: 4-9, 15  

Such was the story of heaven and earth as they were created.

At the time when Yahweh God made earth and heaven there was as yet no wild bush on the earth nor had any wild plant yet sprung up, for Yahweh God had not sent rain on the earth, nor was there any man to till the soil. Instead, water flowed out of the ground and watered all the surface of the soil. Yahweh God shaped man from the soil of the ground and blew the breath of life into his nostrils, and man became a living being. 

    Yahweh God planted a garden in Eden, which is in the east, and there he put the man he had fashioned. From the soil, Yahweh God caused to grow every kind of tree, enticing to look at and good to eat, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Yahweh God took the man and settled him in the garden of Eden to cultivate and take care of it.

Jesus speaks:         I have planted My garden in

                            Clearwater.

                                Mary is the New Eve.

                                I am the New Adam.

                                We appear in the garden.

Jesus speaks:     You were created in the image and

                                likeness of God.

                            Adam and Eve sinned.

                            I give you the vision in Clearwater.

                            My garden is there.

                            I want fruit to come forth from

                                My Movement Shepherds of Christ.

                            Mary appears, you must pray through

                                her powerful intercession.

Messenger:        Oh Jesus You give us suffering.

                            We do not deserve the gifts You

                                outpour to us, You give

                                us these gifts freely. from

                                Your goodness.

Matthew 11: 28-30

‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’

2 Thessalonians 3: 6-12, 16

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we urge you, brothers, to keep away from any of the brothers who lives an undisciplined life, not in accordance with the tradition you received from us. 

    You know how you should take us as your model: we were not undisciplined when we were with you, nor did we ever accept food from anyone without paying for it; no, we worked with unsparing energy, night and day, so as not to be a burden on any of you. This was not because we had no right to be, but in order to make ourselves a model for you to imitate. 

    We urged you when we were with you not to let anyone eat who refused to work. Now we hear that there are some of you who are living lives without any discipline, doing no work themselves but interfering with other people’s. In the Lord Jesus Christ, we urge and call on people of this kind to go on quietly working and earning the food that they eat.

May the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with you all.

  

Psalm 127: 1-2

If Yahweh does not build a house 
in vain do its builders toil. 
If Yahweh does not guard a city 
in vain does its guard keep watch. 

In vain you get up earlier, 
and put off going to bed, 
sweating to make a living, 
since it is he who provides for his beloved as they sleep.

  

Matthew 25: 14-30

‘It is like a man about to go abroad who summoned his servants and entrusted his property to them. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to a third one, each in proportion to his ability. Then he set out on his journey. The man who had received the five talents promptly went and traded with them and made five more. The man who had received two made two more in the same way. But the man who had received one went off and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money. Now a long time afterwards, the master of those servants came back and went through his accounts with them. The man who had received the five talents came forward bringing five more. "Sir," he said, "you entrusted me with five talents; here are five more that I have made." His master said to him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you have shown you are trustworthy in small things; I will trust you with greater; come and join in your master’s happiness." Next the man with the two talents came forward. "Sir," he said, "you entrusted me with two talents; here are two more that I have made." His master said to him, "Well done, good and trustworthy servant; you have shown you are trustworthy in small things; I will trust you with greater; come and join in your master’s happiness." Last came forward the man who had the single talent. "Sir," said he, "I had heard you were a hard man, reaping where you had not sown and gathering where you had not scattered; so I was afraid, and I went off and hid your talent in the ground. Here it is; it was yours, you have it back." But his master answered him, "You wicked and lazy servant! So you knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered? Well then, you should have deposited my money with the bankers, and on my return I would have got my money back with interest. So now, take the talent from him and give it to the man who has the ten talents. For to everyone who has will be given more, and he will have more than enough; but anyone who has not, will be deprived even of what he has. As for this good–for–nothing servant, throw him into the darkness outside, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth."

  

Matthew 6: 31-34

So do not worry; do not say, "What are we to eat? What are we to drink? What are we to wear?" It is the gentiles who set their hearts on all these things. Your heavenly Father knows you need them all. Set your hearts on his kingdom first, and on God’s saving justice, and all these other things will be given you as well. So do not worry about tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.’

September 17, 2003 message continues

Messenger:        Oh God, I do love you. I want to help bring

                                forth fruit for the Kingdom.

Jesus speaks:    Oh My child, I have asked you to help build

                                these communities for love and holiness,

                                a place where I call young men and

                                women to come as Handmaids and 

                                Servants of the Good Shepherd.

                                I have called Emily to be in

                                charge under My direction. I call

                                now your President to be the head servant —

                                his title is one in which he has already

                                followed in My foot prints as a

                                fervent apostle leading the Shepherds

                                of Christ Ministries.

                                Now we see that the people are to

                            model their lives after Me.

                                On October 13, 2003, those servants

                            and handmaids of the Good Shepherd and

                            apostles of My Sacred Heart will renew their

                            commitment and John will be made

                            head servant of the Good Shepherd.

                            You are My messenger, Emily is 3rd leader.

                            As now the sites are run by Rosie in

                                Florida and Betty in China. The

                                Cincinnati handmaids and servants are

                                run by Emily and John under My

                                direction, all servants and handmaids

                                are under these leaders.

                            Joe Lee has been crucial in sending the Priestly

                                Newsletter to the far corners of the earth.

                                The Priestly Newsletter is the main reason the

                                Movement exists. Reaching the priests and

                                hierarchy of the Church with these writings

                                have helped your Church and will continue

                                to do so. Servant of the Good Shepherd,

                                Joe Lee will continue to head the mailings of

                                the Priestly Newsletters as I have directed.

September 17, 2003 message continues

Jesus speaks:        Father Carter sent the Newsletter regularly

                            to 75,000 priests in English and Spanish.

                            These Newsletters Books were writings given

                                by Me to help in the renewal of the Church

                                and the world, through the hand of

                                Fr. Carter, S.J.

Genesis 1: 11-12

      God said, ‘Let the earth produce vegetation: seed–bearing plants, and fruit trees on earth, bearing fruit with their seed inside, each corresponding to its own species.’ And so it was. The earth produced vegetation: the various kinds of seed–bearing plants and the fruit trees with seed inside, each corresponding to its own species. God saw that it was good.

                            Song: Come with Me into the Fields

2 Corinthians 9: 8-11

 God is perfectly able to enrich you with every grace, so that you always have enough for every conceivable need, and your resources overflow in all kinds of good work. As scripture says: To the needy he gave without stint, his uprightness stands firm for ever. The one who so freely provides seed for the sower and food to eat will provide you with ample store of seed for sowing and make the harvest of your uprightness a bigger one: you will be rich enough in every way for every kind of generosity that makes people thank God for what we have done. 

  

Matthew 13: 1-9  

That same day, Jesus left the house and sat by the lakeside, but such large crowds gathered round him that he got into a boat and sat there. The people all stood on the shore, and he told them many things in parables.

He said, ‘Listen, a sower went out to sow. As he sowed, some seeds fell on the edge of the path, and the birds came and ate them up. Others fell on patches of rock where they found little soil and sprang up at once, because there was no depth of earth; but as soon as the sun came up they were scorched and, not having any roots, they withered away. Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Others fell on rich soil and produced their crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Anyone who has ears should listen!’

Jesus speaks:     I give you a story, a man went out to

                                sow and he worked hard in the

                                day's heat he became weary and

                                started blaspheming.

                                The evil serpent attacked his memory,

                                    his mouth and he let loose with

                                    a terrible sound.

                                He tore down all the good work he

                                    did.

                                Why did he do this?

                                A man went out to sow and by nightfall

                                    another came and sowed weeds in

                                    with the good seed.

                                Oh My people, the evil one wants

                                    souls for hell.

                                Oh My people strive for holiness, fight

                                    temptations and live to love.

Messenger:        Oh Jesus help us, We need funds,

                                we need the people to answer

                                your call to be Shepherds of Christ.

                            Oh I went to a high mountain and I

                                raised my voice so high to speak and

                                I could hear the sound of God as He

                                called His soldiers to answer His call.

                            The hills shook —

                            The air was still —

                            The clouds surrounded me —

                            The light shown as a beam where

                                I stood coming from high above

                                me and I heard His voice

                                speak loud and clear

                                through me as I stood there

                                and knew the heavenly one

                                was summoning Shepherds to lead the

                                strayed ones home to His Heart.

Excerpt from Apostle Manual 

A Message from Florida
Message given through Rita Ring

Jesus: You are the leader. There will be no one in line behind you. You may be on the hill and look around and no one will appear to be near, but I am there in the silence of that moment. Know I am with you. The Father and the Holy Spirit are with you. You are one with My Mother and are surrounded by angels and saints.

The world is blind and they do not see. You must see with spiritual vision. See the world beyond. It is real. You are not alone. I am with you at every second, watching you and controlling your breath.

If you cease to believe, who will be the leader? All I have called through you must realize they are the leaders. No one may appear to be near, no one is in line behind you.

You must be constantly motivated by faith. It comes down to this--it is your belief. For, if I call you and you do not hear Me, then My work will not get done. For I am calling you and you can plug up your ears, but souls are being lost at this very moment that you can be helping through your faith. You must have fervor in your prayers.

Satan attacks you all day, in prayer and in work. Will you listen to him or to Me?

I am begging you to see Me alive before you as I came forth from the tomb, glistening and all white. I am here. I have called you by name. You are the apostles I am calling. If you say 'no' the work will not get done.

Read this letter over and over and when you are alone and feel as if you are standing on the hill by yourself see the heavens open up. See Me in celestial light as you saw Me transfigured on the altar. See the great vision of March 26, 1996. Read that message. See Me almost dead on the cross as I was on December 5, 1996 at Immaculata. See My lips move and hear Me speak. No one is listening. They will hear you speak. They will respond to you.

If you give into Satan, they will not hear and they will not know for his whole attempt is to silence you.

So you go to the hilltop. You are close to Me. You look around and you see no one. Below the hill is a throng of people. They have forgotten I exist. The heavens open and I appear and the sky is filled with saints and angels. They continue talking and laughing at the bottom of the hill. The celestial light falls upon them and they continue as in a fog and as blind men to focus on the rocks and the things of this earth.

And you speak. The voice they hear is your voice from the top of the mountain. You appear to be alone by these blind men, but the heavenly court has surrounded you and you see not with earthly vision but with the eyes of faith and you speak in My Name...

"Glory and Praise to God! Hear the words of your Savior. Listen from the mountain top for He has risen and we are His witnesses."

He calls you from the mountain and you say nay for your foolish whims. Come to the mountain top with Me and you will taste of milk sweeter than honey. You will run and not get weary, you will be His faithful witnesses. You will be the children of light shining from the mountain top on the dark world below.

Oh, do not say no, My chosen ones, you are My children of light. I have called and you have responded. Do not be discouraged, but encouraged for (she) appears, the Lady of Light, the Lady of Fatima, the Lady of the Holy Rosary. She appears Our Lady in Clearwater to bring about the completion of the Fatima message there. If you do not believe, who will I send to do the work for I have chosen you!

The Fatima mission will greatly unfold there through the Shepherds of Christ Movement. She appears Our Lady of Light in all the splendor to call her children to her Son, Jesus. She appears as Our Lady of Fatima, 80 years later, to call to the world, to deliver the same message she delivered then. Come to the water and drink and you will not be thirsty for God has visited His people. He has risen. He sends great gifts in the woman clothed as the sun on your building. Some look and they do not see. Some are touched for their hearts are open to the graces that are pouring out there.

Mary: I appear to you, the woman clothed as the sun, Our Lady of Fatima, in splendor and glory to lead a sick race to holiness, to lead them to healing in the Heart of my Son.

For His Heart will reign despite all the actions of men. I appear Our Lady of Fatima on the (former) bank in Florida to you this day. This is my message. This is my little Fatima in the Americas. A permanent sign I give to you this day on the building, a sign for the world and for you.

And you, my chosen one, have faith for it is faith that will save you. The devil wants you stopped. If you listen to him, who will lead the people to my Son? You have been called and chosen by me, Our Lady of Fatima, the woman clothed as the sun and there will be the weeping and gnashing of teeth for many will be lost forever. I send you in the darkness as a beacon light to the world.

I love you. I am your Mother Mary.

Messenger:        Oh the lightening teaches us a lesson for we

                                stand there wherever we are and the

                                lightening is like a streak of light

                                that calls our attention and we strain

                                to see, but it seems to almost

                                slip through our hands and we want

                                to catch a longer glimpse and it

                                only again comes as a flick, a

                                quick streak across the sky,

                                teasing our vision and wanting

                                so much more to see more clearly.

                                The sky seems to crack and

                                    within are beams of vibrant light

                                    indescribable in words.

                                This is the intensity of the light I saw in

                            the great visions, but it was more gold, more

                            brilliant and like a mirror, indescribable for me

                            in words. And it too begins as a glimpse

                            into something unknown. Something

                            I cannot touch only to endure as long

                            as He allows for His given purpose.

                                March 26, 1996 (about 9 months before Mary

                            appeared in Clearwater, the day after the Feast

                            of the Annunciation)  

March 26, 1996

Very carefully discerned by Fr. Carter

Messenger:  I came to All Saints Church before a beautiful Monstrance of gold that contained Our beloved Savior. He was adorned in light, the altar beneath shone with the brightest light and the cross behind was entirely silhouetted with the same celestial light. I was overwhelmed with the presence of God and cried deeply from the awe of it all.

    To be so aware of the Almighty God truly present in His splendor and glory—to know the presence of God, to see the glistening of the gold and the light and reflection of the cross behind Him—my beauteous love—words do not exist to describe the rapture of a heavenly embrace! I cry because of the immense awe within my being to know Him. God truly present in His majesty and glory and oh, God, I behold the presence of a heavenly court. You opened wide the heavens and lifted up the veil and I knew You in Your splendor and glory. I behold God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." He is the Almighty God. He shows us the celestial lights with which He will light this earth. Many must surrender their hearts to His Heart and Mary's heart. It is in surrendering, the Spirit will move in the hearts of men and the light of God will shine on the darkened earth. Not with a light that you comprehend, but a light that is divinely granted—a light beyond all lights, a vision beyond all visions. It takes the surrender of minds and hearts to God. The Spirit cannot move in us when we are in control. Surrender and give Him our heart and He will make us fishers of men.

    We are His apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. He is sending us out into the world to light the hearts with His burning love. We are chosen by Him and He is giving us abundant graces to grow in our union with Him. He will light this world with His burning love. Our hearts must be open. We must surrender and let go and reach beyond the senses, reach with our hearts. Pray for faith, pray for the vision of God.

Note:  I cried all through this writing, having the presence of God and being in great ecstasy to behold Him. May God touch your heart and may His Spirit move within you. May you be filled with the grace of God to surrender and let Him accomplish a great work within you.

    And I was filled on high with His miraculous light and He reached down and spoke within me. I was filled as never before and knew the presence of God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Note:  As I finished, the bells at All Saints Church rang at 9:00 A.M. As I began to experience the immense splendor, the bells of 8:00 rang. Words do not express anything that I saw or experienced or know from this ecstasy. This was the greatest and the first of three visions, which defined clearly to me our role in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Jesus defines clearly the role of Fr. Carter in this great mission given to him by the Father.
  

For Fr. Carter from Jesus:

Jesus speaks:  To him who has eyes to see, they will see - not with earthly vision, but with the eyes of faith, and to him who has ears to hear, he will hear with the fluttering of the Spirit moving within him.

    I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I am the Almighty God. I say to the rocks to fall and they fall and to the grass, grow, and it grows, and to the sun, shine, and it shines. I give to you My love in these letters. Filled with My love, you will conquer this earth, not with weapons and powder or force, but with fires of My love. The fire will wipe out the hatred in the cold hearts and the earth will be covered with My celestial light. The earth will rock and I will appear in the heavens adorned in power and glory and the contrite hearts will be saved. I came to separate the sheep from the goats, the light from the darkness. I come and no one pays Me heed.

    To you, My beloved son, Father Carter, I have sent you on a mission to spread this fire that will cover this earth. The hearts of men will turn from their sick and desolate ways to hearts gentle as a little lamb.

    There will be one flock and one Shepherd and My staff will rule over all. Hearts consecrated to Our Hearts will lead the light across the earth. This light will be a light of intense brightness, brighter and hotter than any light from a flame. It will be the fire of God's love. The Spirit will move in the hearts of all consecrated to My Heart, and you will know how fire truly spreads, for the love of God is a fire. It is vibrant. It is encompassing. It is smoldering, burning deep within and speedily spreading on the outside. No fire on this earth can ever describe the burning embers that burn from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. No fire burns like the fires coming from My Heart and hearts filled with the love from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

    I have written your name, Fr. Carter, in My Heart, never ever to be blotted out and this earth will be renewed with the fire of God's love through you. You are My beloved priest-son, forever, according to the order of Melchizedek. Most holy and most sacred are your hands that consecrate the Host and write My precious newsletter for My beloved priest-sons. You are never unguarded. You are held within the deepest chamber of My Heart, and you will spread My love to the priest-sons of this earth.

    I am Jesus. You will spread My love to all souls on this earth. I love you with the tenderest burning love. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior.

Messenger:        This was the 1st of 3 main visions.

Excerpt from April 9, 1999 message

April 9, 1996

Messenger: I went to All Saints Church - saw with eyes unveiled- such an aura of celestial light. I went to Communion, had the presence of God, wanted to cry so hard from the awe of it all. I was not feeling good and He wrapped me as only He can do in His heavenly embrace. My soul sang out and the vision began. My eyes now are still seeing with this effect. He, as it were, lifts up the hard, defined lines and I see with a celestial aura. This is what I see when I see a vision. The rocks in the grotto Mary has appeared in glisten and they are sparkling. LINES are not defined, instead they are adorned in light. Saturday (April 6, 1996, Holy Saturday) I saw the whole wall adorned in the brightest light, St. Joseph was surrounded in this thick light, like comes from a fire, like a celestial mirror. I don't know how to describe it, it is as a mirror with light in it, but no light like our human eyes have seen. I looked at St. Joseph and he was pushing the Child Jesus out at us, the Baby coming out glistening in light. The statue of the resurrected Lord was alive. All the flowers were topped with this light. This is how it was and is now at All Saints Church. It is as if heaven has poured its light on the earth and it tops the flowers. All distinct lines are gone. In their place is light. So all I look at has a splendor.

Today the vision started as the Eucharist was exposed. I knew it was coming. I had this immense presence. Then the lines began to disappear and became smudged with light.

It is the most glorious occurrence to be in the vision. I can talk and tell someone what I am seeing, but I don't want to, I just want to rest in the celestial occurrence and realize the presence of God.

He lifts the veil and I see with eyes unveiled. This is what Mary said from the Lady of Grace statue at the Holy Spirit Center before all this started. She said there would be miracles around the Eucharist. I didn't think she meant I would experience these.

When I saw her 3 times, she had this same light around her. The last time, I think it lasted an hour (March 10). She was beyond description. March 17 may be when she told me about the Eucharist. I must check my notes.

 

April 9, 1996

Messenger: After Communion I had this immense presence of God. I knew a vision was coming. My vision gets a certain way. The distinct lines I see before me begin to disappear and are smudged with light.

Then I saw again the celestial lights of heaven. It was as though light was spilled from heaven and landed on the flowers and the corners of everything. The Eucharist took on an immense warmth and I knew God truly present in this room.

I saw with eyes unveiled in my soul and in the room. The room had a celestial aura, it no longer looked defined and clear. It was bathed in a gentle, celestial film and all I saw I wanted to tell to those around me. But I was so caught in His embrace that my mouth did not want to move.

Grace is being spilled on the earth. I have seen this celestial light come upon the altar of sacrifice, the monstrance and the cross. The vision on March 26 (1996) I will never forget as long as I live. The light is so thick and so intense as if the heavens open in these cracks of light and there is a depth far beyond that which any mind can envision.

The sky opened up and it rained down its grace. It opens when hearts are one in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.  

  

On April 3, 1996, at All Saints Church I wrote:

    I was at All Saints, April 3, at the 6:45 a.m. Mass. At 7:00 a.m. the bells rang at the Consecration of the Mass. The Sacrifice of Calvary rings out all over the world and I can be joined at every moment to this Sacrifice. We unite to this Sacrifice praying for ourselves and our brothers. The bell tolls at every moment I live. Whether I am doing dishes, being with my family, or whatever, I make this my offering united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass being offered around the world. I make my Morning Offering. United to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass being celebrated around the world, I give myself completely to the Father in the name of Jesus in the Holy Spirit with all the angels and saints. I make this offering of my life to help in the salvation of souls. My offering is most pure and holy as I unite to the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

    What is pleasing to my Father is that at every second I am trying to live in His will operating in love. My heroic or mundane tasks are most important as I give them in sacrifice united to Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

    I live in this way, always united to the sacrifice of Calvary being made sacramentally present on our altars around the world through the hands of His beloved priests.

    This is the moment of sacrifice. The bells toll all over the earth and Christ, Chief-Priest and Victim, gives Himself in the Mass through the hands of the priest. I give myself in love to help in the work of redemption.

Jesus speaks: It is most difficult to present any description similar to the original mystical vision. The sketches provide a basis for reference. Nothing in words or pictures even comes close to the original experience. I wish these writings and sketches to appear that you will more fully experience my love through these revelations. Pictures are concrete descriptions of true realities. The sketches provided are more to My liking, employing the element of mystery, for nothing here on this earth will ever show even minutely the splendor of a genuine mystical vision. In expressing the visions in concrete pictures, the element of mystery is overshadowed. You must pray for grace to experience that element of mystery in these writings, knowing the infinitude of the mystery of God can never be expressed concretely through words and pictures. It is through grace that one experiences that which I reveal here.

Messenger: God is the ultimate mystery and He reveals Himself to man as He so chooses. Man must be open, soft and supple, ready for His touch.

Messenger:        A crack of thunder, the intensity

                                of such a vision. I guess the light

                                really isn't the same, I see them

                                both clearly, lightening and the vision,

                                but I grope to explain that light

                                I see when God gives me something like

                                this special revelation and acts on my soul.

                            Oh God you are my spouse, my beloved, you

                                are Divine and I feel I ramble on like

                                one with a wagging tongue — but the

                                place I know, the things I have,

                                what I have experienced are so real

                                and I long to write of the mystery

                                of your marvelous touch —

                            Oh God let me reach into the mystery and

                                know for my heart loves Thee and

                                longs for knowledge of Thee, I

                                long for insight into the hidden

                                mysteries, I long for the touch of

                                your special graces given to me,

                                for I love you and my soul craves

                                knowledge of Thee, like a thirsty

                                man in the parched desert, I cry

                                to you to touch me and act on my soul —

                            Oh Holy Spirit fill me —

                            Let my blind eyes see —

                            let my ears hear the glorious notes that

                                only you can sing in my ears —

                            I am like the man who has not eaten

                                in days and I come to Your table

                                to be filled by You.

                            Oh Lights of heaven shine, send your

                                beams of light into the hearts of

                                the men of this earth — let their

                                hearts be filled with your celestial

                                light — let the hungry man cry

                                out to the hills — God is and

                                He loves us, pour out Your

                                mercies and Your love upon

                                the thankless children of this race —

                            Let the hungry widow be filled and her

                                womb fruitful even at an old age —

                                that no matter what the walk of life

                                may be for the soul — fruit will

                                abound for all those seeking God.

                            Oh send us a mighty harvest — one reaping

                                with milk and honey — one filled with

                                the fruits of the Spirit — one that is

                                abundant by the hand of God —

                            And His eyes looked down on them and

                                God spoke and He said —

God the Father speaks:

                            I have given you My only begotten Son —

                            I have given you My Son in the

                                Eucharist, truly present and

                                with you.

                            Oh I watch you My wayward children

                                run to the thistle and the poison

                                berries, you fall in the brush, you are

                                consumed by the thorns on bush,

                                mud in holes and men of quick

                                tongues and My priests give you

                                the Holy Eucharist and you will

                                not pray for them as I have directed

                                through My Son Jesus.

Messenger:        Oh Lights of heaven shine on the earth

                                so they are not consumed by the

                                lions of the earth, the demons,

                                the ones seeking to eat the children.

Mary speaks:    Oh I do speak to you and I show you

                                the beauty of my vision here.

                                I have called for these special

                                days on the 5th for public gatherings

                                since April 5, 1995. Even with such

                                gifts given you will not listen to me.

                                Here is your proof — pictures from

                                    September 5, 2003 when my messenger

                                    went to Florida and prayed for the

                                    world as Jesus instructed her to do.

Jesus speaks:         Oh I planted a garden, I watered it with

                            Clear water — I asked for you to come

                            and pray for a fruitful harvest on the earth.

                                When you did not see, My Mother

                            and you put dollar signs before your

                            give you My prayers (red prayer manual)

                            and I give you My rosary meditations

                            and books and tell you to give them to

                            the children, Mary's children of the earth

                            Oh what a shame to miss the month of

                                I am reaching out in My Movement to
