Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    ... In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

    The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.

    At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles�the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).

R. Etymologically is a Greek word which means
without earth �

                    When God dwells deeply in a person His
                reflection is in them. We see beauty and
                goodness, love in them. We hear Mary as
                she is filled with the Holy Spirit saying
                "My soul doth magnify the Lord and my
                spirit rejoices in God my Savior."

                A person filled with God bears His reflection
                in them. God is love, He is Divine �
                It is really beyond our understanding
                how God gives us a sharing in His
                life in baptism � how baptism opens
                the supernatural world to us �

                    In God when we are baptized we
                can love and know supernaturally.
                In God there is wisdom and understand.
                We have heard it said "The blind do not
                see" to those who close themselves
                off to God dwelling deeply in their
                heart � God dwelling in them � God
                in them, putting on Christ, allowing
                the incarnation to go on in them
                where they grow more and more in
                the image and likeness of God �
                To those who collapse in themselves,
                living by the deadly sins � they sow
                a life of darkness � like blind
                men � they do not see �

God is light and in Him is no darkness.

                    There is a saying in Alanon that the
                dysfunctional person can resist change
                and act according to the dysfunction
                harder and harder � doing that which
                never worked before only harder and
                harder with more stubbornness they
                are right and refusal to look at
                their woundedness produces greater
                woundedness for them now and all
                they stubbornly force their disordered
                compulsive behavior on.

                    If there is darkness, but a hint of
                light from a street light outside the
                residence and a person shoots out the
                street light with a bee-bee gun � then
                there can be total darkness.

                    This is how satan works, he
                convinces the person, entices the
                person, tempts the person with
                some evil they desire like power,
                affections, wealth and guess what,
                they can give into satan enslaving them
                as they give their freedom � (given to
                love God) as they give this freedom
                to satan to use and operate in
                them.

                    In heaven there is not selfishness,
                pride, envy, jealousy, lust,
                division, anger, etc.

                    God is all good � Beauty is in
                the reflection of God who abundantly
                lives and operates in a man. God
                wants us holy. Mary shows us purity.
                The Servants and Handmaids of the Good
                Shepherd are to live holy lives, to help
                through their holy lives, to bring down
                grace for our beloved priests. Jesus
                died for us. He asks us to die to our
                selfish ways to live a life of holiness
                and service and prayer for the
                priests and the Church.

                    We cannot even comprehend here below
                the Divine Love of God. Jesus showed
                me His Sacred Heart December 17, 1991 �
                It was a fire, white in the center � surrounded
                by yellow � so we would know the
                white heat of His love.

                    Divine Unity and Divine Love �
                Who can even fathom such
                depths of Divine Love.

Purity � like the Virgin Mary �

From The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, by Louis J. Puhl, S.J. p.12

23. FIRST PRINCIPLE AND FOUNDATION

Man is created to praise, reverence and serve God
our Lord, and by this means to save his soul.

                R. Not a trace of selfishness in Jesus
                    and Mary �
                    carrying His cross for our sins �
                    dying on the cross for our sins �

Purity in love � not a hint of
selfishness

Purity in love �

                Love that is pure embraces
                    all virtues
                    faith, hope, humility,
                    obedience, fortitude,
                    temperance, justice,
                    prudence.

Jesus, I am drawn to You like
steel to a magnet �

December 17, 1991

R. On December 17, 1991, I saw a vision of Jesus� Heart on fire after communion. He said � I didn�t know how this Heart would lead people to His Sacred Heart.

December 17, 1991

Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.

R. The vision of Jesus� Heart on fire I had in the same pew at All Saints Church, December 17, 1991. The heart that is on the Second Blue Book. March 26, 1996, I had in the same pew on the other end of the pew toward the center aisle, the first pew on the right side of the church as I faced the altar.

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.�

November 1991

R. Dear God,

I am drawn to You like steel is to
a magnet � drawn to You as being plugged
in � I must touch You � there is a
pull within my soul to You, You are
the power and I am filled up again by
You. I give You my will and my life,
plug me into You Jesus �

Jesus: Your strength and
courage comes from the Lord.
For you were hungry and I fed you �
I plugged you into My power, I took
your burdens and made your weights
light, and you walked on the path
I made ready for you. For your
strength and your courage comes from Me.

R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord Jesus, Father,
Son and Holy Spirit � I was empty and
alone and scared and You filled my heart
with Your love, Your fire was planted
in my heart to burn for those around
me. Grant me Your good graces that
I may not be tempted by the devil to
think of my unworthiness � my
heart is Your temple, You designed
it as a place for You to dwell and You
want to dwell there in, there is not
room in my heart for hatred and conflict
only for love of You, that is why I
place these burdens, Lord Jesus, I place
the problem with them on Your shoulders
and ask You to carry the load
for me � for I need to keep my
heart open with Your love.

In the midst of confusion You
were calm, in the midst of chaos
You knew Your way � show me Your
way in the midst of chaos, please
help me to do what You want � Take
each load and fill my heart with the
fire of Your love. I was hungry and You
gave me to eat, naked and You clothed
me. You set my feet on solid ground
and made my enemies my footstools �
You put a new song in my mouth and
taught me Your ways and I listened
and found serenity and peace and joy in
my heart. My eyes were opened and
I was no longer afraid and confused,
but knew what was Your way.

Teach me Your way that I may
show others Your truths, especially
my children that I will give to them
the truth and that I teach them about
faith in You and faith in Jesus, Your
Divine Son, Jesus. Give to me
oh Lord the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit
Wisdom, Counsel, Understanding, Fear of
the Lord, Piety, Fortitude, Knowledge.

Give me Your love, so I may love
my fellow beings with this gift. To
see in each human being Your
eyes, Jesus, and Your Heart oh Jesus
in each person. Please help me
to see each person�s specialness.

Jesus: You are My daughter
and I love you. You are special,
I want to dwell in you � I have
all the power. I give you My gift �
My light, My flame of light and
love burning in your soul. I have
all the power. You are plugged
in as to an electric plug and
you are aglow with fire
of this love.

I am your God and you shall
have no other gods before Me.
Listen to Me, pray. Talk to Me
and I will make you fishers
of men. I will warm the cold heart,
I will cast out all fear and I will
be with you forever �

R. Oh God, You are my light �
You give me courage,
You give me strength. You are Almighty.

Jesus: I will ward off all confusion,
because you will only have to ask and I
will lift your burdens and see you through.
Have faith My child � listen for My
direction, I will be with you all your days
I neither slumber or sleep. I am
awake and I live in your heart.
You need only speak to Me and
I am attentive to your call.

R. The Spirit of the Lord dwells
within me, in my heart.

Jesus: You are a temple of the
Holy Spirit � You are My temple,
I am in you. Respect and care
for yourself because this is My
temple. I will be with you
forever more. I AM IN YOU!

I will be with you that is My promise,
I will be with you forever more.

Go in the peace of harmony of
Jesus Christ.

In the midst of confusion,
be the light shining in the darkness,
be life to those who are down-hearted.
I have the power to do all things and I
am within you, so you have the
power to be My light to the world.
You are plugged into an
undying source. I am there.
I want to love, I want to give,
I want to comfort and strengthen.
I will do these things to My
brethren through you, if you
let Me. Love your family � I
have given them as gifts to
you, to love and care for. Treat
each member as a gift that
I give directly to you. I will
bless you for watching over
these little hearts. Teach them
My ways � they are children who
need to be full of My love to
have peace. Teach them love,
so they will know I live in them.
Give them a good example and
strive to be more perfected as your
Heavenly Father is perfect. Grow in
holiness. LOVE each other and be My light
to the world and I will strengthen you
and give you unending peace. My peace
is not of this world. Peace is in Me �
Ask for peace and I will give it to you.

R. This is peace, this is joy, this is love,
this intensity of knowing You are my God
and You live within me. You have chosen
to live in my imperfect self. I do not want
to leave Your presence. It is warm
inside. It is good and I am filled with love
and goodness. Thank You for this.
