Revelations on the Light
Isaiah 30: 19-26:
Yes, people of Zion living
in Jerusalem,
you will weep no more.
He will be gracious to you when your cry for help rings
out;
as soon as he hears it, he will answer you.
When the Lord has given you the bread of suffering
and the water of distress,
he who is your teacher will hide no longer,
and you will see your teacher with your own eyes.
Your ears will hear these words behind you,
'This is the way, keep to it,' whether you turn to right
or left.
You will hold unclean the silverplating of your idols
and goldplating of your images.
You will throw them away like the polluted things they
are,
shouting after them, 'Good riddance!'
He will send rain for the seed you sow in the ground,
and the bread that the ground provides will be rich and nourishing.
That day, your cattle will graze in wide pastures.
Oxen and donkeys that work the land
will eat for fodder wild sorrel,
spread by the shovel-load and fork-load.
On every lofty mountain, on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses, on the day of
the great slaughter
when the strongholds fall.
Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-
on the day Yahweh dresses his people's wound
and heals the scars of the blows they have received."
Isaiah 40:1-8:
'Console my people, console
them,'
says your God.
'Speak to the heart of Jerusalem
and cry to her
that her period of service is ended,
that her guilt has been atoned for,
that, from the hand of Yahweh, she has received
double punishment for all her sins.'
A voice cries, 'Prepare in the desert
a way for Yahweh.
Make a straight highway for our God
across the wastelands.
Let every valley be filled in,
every mountain and hill be levelled,
every cliff become a plateau,
every escarpment a plain;
then the glory of Yahweh will be revealed
and all humanity will see it together,
for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.'
A voice said, 'Cry aloud!' and I said, 'What shall I
cry?'
-'All humanity is grass
and all its beauty like the wild flower's.
The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of Yahweh blows on them.
(The grass is surely the people.)
The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God remains for ever.'
Song: A Voice Cries Out in the
Wilderness
Adam and Eve are given great gifts and insights into
God. They sin, the light of knowing God is dimmed because of their sin.
They do not know God as they did before the sin.
Christ comes, He is the Light of the World. He dies,
He gives Himself. He shares His life with us through sanctifying grace.
Through Baptism we receive this sharing in His divine
life. The more He shares His life, the more we are saturated with His
life, the more we know Him. He reveals Himself to us—we see the light.
The Kingdom of God is at hand. It is all here: the
Mass, the Eucharist, God giving Himself.
To partake more in His life we must give ourselves to
Him.
Mary appears to Bernadette. She tells her she is the
"Immaculate Conception." We are sinners, but through Mary, the pure and
sinless one, we can unite deeply in Him.
We are in darkness in varying degrees. The more we are
saturated with His life, the more we see.
The reign of God is at hand. Since He came to the
earth, everything is in place to see the light.
God is giving to us great graces to see the light now.
He is lifting the veil.
There will be the era of peace.
Isaiah 30:26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
We see the darkness. As at night, we do not see the
colorful leaves, they are there, we do not see them.
In the morning light, we see the glory of the
beautiful day, the colorful leaves.
As the light steals across the sky, we see more and
more. As the sun gradually comes up, we see more clearly the beauty of
the leaves.
At first, our vision is not so clear because the light
does not show in its deepest intensity. As the sun comes up we see more
and more vividly until finally we see clearly the beauty of the colorful
leaves.
Isaiah 30:26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
In a message to Fr. Carter on July 31, 1994, Jesus has
promised us: "I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of
Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and
to Mary's heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy
Spirit."
As stated above, the more we are saturated with his
life, the more we are one in Him, the more clearly we see. It is in this
union, in the depth of His Heart, that we receive such life, that we
know Him with great clarity, that we are given this vision of God.
It is not with "eyes" that we see, but the
illumination is in the knowing power that He gives to us. He reveals
insights into the divine mysteries. We share most intimately with Him
when we are one with Him in the Mass and after Communion. These are
treasured moments in which He gives us a special sharing to know Him,
our Divine Lover.
We see clearly when our hearts are hearts of love. We
see vividly when our hearts are filled with love and peace. We were
created to love, to love God and love each other.
Adam and Eve sinned. They lost the great gift given to
them. The light of knowing God was dimmed because of their sin.
Christ comes into the world. He is the Word. He is the
light of the world. He comes to save man from his sin. He comes in the
womb of the Virgin Mary. Mary is the pure and sinless one. Jesus comes
to pay the price for the sin of Adam and for our sins. We are all
tainted by this sin of our first father and mother. Mary is the
Immaculate and pure one, the highest human person. Divinity unites with
humanity in the womb of Mary. They are one. Jesus is carried within the
body of His mother. Such unity from the beginning, for His life is
formed within her body. Is it surprising to us, then, if Christ comes
within the womb of the Virgin Mary, that we too must go through Mary to
unite to Him? Where is the pride in the hearts of men that think they do
not have to go through their Mother Mary? If Christ comes in the womb of
Mary to pay the price for man's sins, and we are tainted by the sin, in
order to unite to the Almighty God who is all holy, we must go through
the pure and sinless one.
Adam and Eve sinned. The Father sends His Son into the
world to pay the price for man's sins. Jesus is the New Adam; Mary is
the New Eve. Man continues to sin, greatly displeasing God. The Father
allows Mary to appear to Bernadette at Lourdes as the Immaculate
Conception, as having been conceived without original sin. The Father
then allows Mary to appear to the children of Fatima as the Immaculate
Heart of Mary.
We are sinners, we cannot unite closely to Him unless
we go through Mary.
Mary is the pure and sinless one. We can unite deeply
to Him. We are in darkness in varying degrees. The more we are saturated
with His life, the more we see.
The reign of God is at hand. He came to the earth, He
died, He rose on the third day. He gave to the Apostles the power to
change bread and wine into His Body and Blood. He gave to them the power
to forgive sins. He established His Church pouring forth from His
pierced side. We do not see the great gifts that He has given to us. He
is giving to us great insights into these gifts. God is giving to us
great graces to see the light now. He is lifting the veil.
There will be an era of peace and all will see with
such light as Isaiah speaks of in chapter 30, verse 26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
Man sinned. Jesus came to redeem us. Man is still so
sinful. Mary appears at Fatima. She tells us that we are offending God,
that we must make reparation to her heart and the heart of her Son.
She gives us the peace plan for the world. She tells
us that the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and her Immaculate Heart
will triumph but we must do what she says. The Church has approved
Fatima. The devil has blocked the message. How can we disobey our
Mother? How can we ignore her? Mary appeared at Fatima and was ignored.
Mary appeared to me almost daily for 14 months—she does not appear as
she once did. Jesus has told me that He will handle these messages, that
He is in charge, that the plan of the Father will unfold despite any
person's willfulness.
In August 1996, Mary spoke in the rosary: she said she
could not hold back the hand of her Son any longer. On the 5th of this
month, instead of Mary appearing as she had in the past, Jesus appeared
alive on the crucifix with His mouth moving for twenty minutes. We are
not listening to Mary or to Jesus. Man has sinned. Jesus came to redeem
us. Mary tells us what we must do. Men are disobedient. They disobeyed
their Mother. They do not do what she told them what they must do at
Fatima. When hearts are consecrated to Jesus and Mary they become holy
hearts, deeply one with God. The reign of the Sacred Heart is at hand
for He has given to us abundant grace that we are seeing with such
clarity this vision of God. He has imparted to us understanding into His
divine mysteries.
The more we focus on what Jesus and Mary have told us,
the more we will have peace. He is angered by the willfulness of man. He
will get their attention. We are spreading the good news when we spread
the consecration.
We must heed the words of our Mother. She will not go
away because of willful men. We have angered God more by ignoring her.
There is only one way: it is the plan that Mary has given to us at
Fatima. He is lifting the veil for those whose hearts are consecrated to
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
Many in the Shepherds of Christ Movement are fervently
loving Him. In the Shepherds of Christ Movement, as the apostles spread
the consecration to the Church, the family, and the school, the fire of
His love will cover the earth and it will be lighted with this love
coming from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Sacred Heart of Jesus will
reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph.
We, in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, are spreading
the fire of His love across the earth through the consecration.
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 His staff will rule over all. Hearts consecrated to
Their 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 all
hearts consecrated to His Heart, and we 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 fires 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 His Heart and hearts filled with the love
from the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
On October 13, 1917 Our Lady gave to Lucia and 70,000
spellbound people, a great vision: the sun spun in the sky, casting off
great lights. This happened three times in about 12 minutes. As quoted
from Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven:
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
multitudes...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.
Mary gave this tremendous sign at Fatima and people
did not listen. The events that followed were as she had predicted since
we disobeyed her. There was a brutal war, WWII. Mary appeared to me
(Rita Ring) almost daily - very few have listened. She told me over and
over again of the souls going to hell. She told me in August she could
not hold back the hand of her Son anymore. Adam and Eve sinned. God, the
Father, sent His Son. Man continues to sin—the Father sends Mary but
she is ignored!
On July 2, 1996, my son, Joseph, was taking pictures
of all of the Shepherds of Christ members at Tom Arlinghaus' farm. He
took one picture of each person. Jesus told me to tell him to take two
pictures of Fr. Carter. The first picture was a normal picture. The
second picture was of Fr. Carter covered with a pillar of light.
In front of a statue of Our Sorrowful Mother, Mary was
alive in the statue.
Jesus: "Peace will abound when
nations, churches, families, and individuals are consecrated to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The Shepherds of
Christ Movement...is a pillar of light in the darkness."
R. We must encourage all to
consecrate their hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred
Heart of Jesus and to join the Shepherds of Christ chapters, and the
Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement, to pray for our
Church and our world.
Jesus: This is My Movement for
renewal of the Church and the world, based in consecration, joining your
every act to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying the rosary, and
making reparation to Our Hearts, especially on first Fridays and first
Saturday. It is through your prayers and sacrifices many souls will be
saved. Grace will flow from those whose hearts are consecrated to Our
Hearts and the fire of My love will light up this darkened world.
R. Many are living in darkness
because they are not obeying Our Lady. The people will see the light
when they obey her and consecrate their hearts to her heart and the
Heart of Jesus.
To have this intense union with Jesus, with God, we
must give ourselves to Our Lady. It is there in the intimacy with Him
that we are saturated with His life and that He reveals to us great
lights, great insights into His divine mysteries. Yes, indeed, the light
will steal across the earth and the hearts of men will be hearts filled
with His love. They will know their God with great light imparted to
them by the Holy Spirit given to them because of the deep union that
they have with Jesus. The reign of the Sacred Heart is at hand. He is
giving to us these great lights at this time for He has lifted the veil
and we see many things and the light steals across the sky and we see
with clear vision.
Isaiah 30: 26:
"Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight
and sunlight itself be seven times brighter
-like the light of seven days in one-..."
Isaiah 30: 25:
"On every lofty mountain, on every high hill
there will be streams and water-courses, on the day of
the great slaughter
when the strongholds fall."
Truly His Heart is the fountain of divine life. It
flows through the Church, through the hands of His holy priests. When
priests are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and celebrating
the Mass, and administering the sacraments, an immense amount of His
grace will be outpoured on the earth.
A people in darkness have seen a great light. Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus, the Light of the World!
Our Father...thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on
earth as it is in heaven. We will all love as the Father intends, for
now He looks to the earth and He sees it covered with darkness. As
hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, the earth will
be covered with His light.
Revelation 12:1-12:
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 labor, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Then a second sign
appeared in the sky: there was a huge red dragon with seven heads and
ten horns, and each of the seven heads crowned with a coronet. Its tail
swept a third of the stars from the sky and hurled them to the ground,
and the dragon stopped in front of the woman as she was at the point of
giving birth, so that he could eat the child as soon as it was born. The
woman was delivered of a boy, the Son who was to rule all the nations
with an iron scepter, and the child was taken straight up to God and to
his throne, while the woman escaped into the desert, where God had
prepared a place for her to be looked after for twelve hundred and sixty
days.
And now
war broke out in heaven, when Michael with his angels attacked the
dragon. The dragon fought back with his angels, but they were defeated
and driven out of heaven. The great dragon, the primeval serpent, known
as the devil or Satan, who had led all the world astray, was hurled down
to the earth and his angels were hurled down with him. Then I heard a
voice shout from heaven, 'Salvation and power and empire for ever have
been won by our God, and all authority for his Christ, now that the
accuser, who accused our brothers day and night before our God, has been
brought down. They have triumphed over him by the blood of the lamb and
by the word to which they bore witness, because even in the face of
death they did not cling to life. So let the heavens rejoice and all who
live there; but for you, earth and sea, disaster is coming-because the
devil has gone down to you in a rage, knowing that he has little time
left.'
We are in her spiritual womb (heart). She is pregnant,
bringing forth her children of light. As we go to her heart, she crushes
the head of the serpent. Some of the brightest stars that will light up
the earth are in the Shepherds of Christ Movement. We are the children
of light. We are being sent forth as she brings us forth her children of
light to stamp out the darkness. We must give ourselves to Mary.
