Jesus speaks: My dear people,
I love you so much. You are here such
a short time to prepare yourself for your
heavenly reward.
Why do anything if it is not God's will? How
can a child do what they want and then feel
they are doing God's will?
You are given great grace for obedience.
A person thought they could do a great job,
but disobeyed those over them who told
them how they wanted the work done.
You are here to learn to live in God's will.
You are here to abandon your own will to
God's will and in this your peace and happiness
lie.
Satan is a trickster pressing on pride and
willfulness of the individual so they will
please themselves and may be disobeying
God's will for them or living under the obedience
they should.
I am the head of My Church.
Mary served Me as the most perfect disciple.
Many religious orders have failed because
people do not want to live under any
superior, but if it is God's will for
them to be a sister or brother or priest,
they may be very unhappy not following
God's will.
I wanted to write to you in the secure
places.
I speak to you in your heart.
I tell you I love you and you do not listen.
Read My Blue Book Messages —
They are My letters of love.
Messenger: All I want is more and more
grace.
Jesus speaks: I give you My grace
abundantly
when you love and serve Me by doing
My will with love.
To do your will can cause great problems
when it is opposed to My will.
To do all things as I would do them.
To do all things as I would do them.
To be loving —
To have purity of intention in your
hearts —
To love and serve Me for the sake of souls.
John 13: 4-10
and he got up from table, removed his
outer garments and, taking a towel, wrapped it round his waist;
he then poured water into a basin and began to wash the
disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel he was wearing.
He came to Simon Peter, who said to him,
‘Lord, are you going to wash my feet?’ Jesus answered, ‘At the
moment you do not know what I am doing, but later you will
understand.’ ‘Never!’ said Peter. ‘You shall never wash my
feet.’ Jesus replied, ‘If I do not wash you, you can have no
share with me.’ Simon Peter said, ‘Well then, Lord, not only my
feet, but my hands and my head as well!’ Jesus said, ‘No one who
has had a bath needs washing, such a person is clean all over.
Messenger: Peter
should have obeyed Jesus —
not try to do more than what
he asked for.
Sing: Jesu
Messenger:
If you do a hundred good deeds and do
not do what God really is asking of you,
you are not doing God's will —
doing God's will is doing what God wants.
Jesus speaks:
Some people do things their way and
argue when they are given a job they
should do because they want control.
I have shown you the power of the Storm —
they had to wait to see its outcome — you try
to control birth, the baby in the wombs,
the death of the person.
I am God, I give you the embryo in the
womb of the mother. You cannot control
the hurricanes. You must deal with Me as a
child, under God, through prayer.
You must beg for help, plead for mercy.
I have called servants and handmaids to help
in My Movement to help renew the Church and
the world.
The mission is to help draw the world into
oneness.
Satan may tempt people to think their
individual jobs, their tainted wills can get the
job done and they can ignore the overall
mission of the Church to help draw the world
into oneness.
My Movement is to help unite the world by
spreading the consecration to My Heart and Mary's
Heart.
Suffering in work to do My will is suffering.
The people who suffered in the hurricane can
help to bring down great grace for the world.
In your mission of helping to promote My
Kingdom do you not see that there will
be suffering.
I show you the death and the resurrection.
I hung for three agonizing hours on the
cross.
I gave Myself as a Sacrifice for your sins.
Jesus speaks: If you are asked to do a
job and you know
God wants you to serve this way, or be
obedient doing something — does it
matter how long it takes — should you
not live in the moment of the mundane
task of changing a baby's diaper, holding
a sick child as you do your prayer at
Church.
The Father looks to the earth and many do
not obey the Father's will. There is so much
willfulness — many people today do not want
to give up their freedom, young men being
under a bishop or superior to be a priest —
so they may not answer their call/neither are they
encouraged by anyone to do so.
Look at the saints — they teach you the
lesson of obedience to their superiors.
There is structure that one, if it is
not bad, must adhere to. But even the
cartoons have people controlling one
another. Movies have people killing one
another, trials may not be fair.
You think your homes are secure,
secured by insurance, you do not know
the day you will die.
Many events are so unpredictable. Someone
may be hit with a car while walking, hurt
in a car accident and they are in the back
seat, sitting on a plane and it goes down.
Unpredictability and you may get caught
in something and you are saying ——
how did this happen to me —
I try to be honest —
I love people
I showed you how I suffered, I hung
on the cross for three hours. You will suffer —
you will cry for help, but you must live holy
lives, obeying the commandments, not being
bitter in your hearts, carrying bags of anger
from the past — so when you are squeezed you
erupt like a volcano.
A man was married to a woman and
he kept doing what he wanted and never
listened to her — she had so much pain
because she had to keep stuffing things —
little things were backed by years of
daily neglect and wounding —
I give you My Movement to help heal
wounded hearts.
People who consecrate their hearts with
fervor to My Heart and the heart of My Mother
are more likely to do the will of God and
live happier lives.
People who want to neglect superiors
and do things, their own way affect everyone.
They can be a "bucking bull" inside —
What they do not learn is to discipline
their will which is a perfection
of the spiritual life.
What does this story tell you?
Genesis Chapter 3
Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild
animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, 'Did God
really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?'
The woman answered the snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in
the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden
God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death."
' Then the snake said to the woman, 'No! You will not die! God knows
in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you
will be like gods, knowing good from evil.' The woman saw that the
tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was
enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its
fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with
her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and
they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves
together to make themselves loin-cloths.
The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God
walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from
Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. But Yahweh God called to
the man. 'Where are you?' he asked. 'I heard the sound of you in the
garden,' he replied. 'I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.'
'Who told you that you were naked?' he asked. 'Have you been eating
from the tree I forbade you to eat?' The man replied, 'It was the
woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I
ate it.' Then Yahweh God said to the woman, 'Why did you do that?'
The woman replied, 'The snake tempted me and I ate.'
Then Yahweh God said to the snake, 'Because you
have done this,
Accursed be you
of all animals wild and tame!
On your belly you will go
and on dust you will feed
as long as you live.
I shall put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
it will bruise your head
and you will strike its heel.'
To the woman he said:
I shall give you intense pain
in childbearing,
you will give birth to your children
in pain.
Your yearning will be for your husband,
and he will dominate you.
To the man he said, 'Because you listened to the
voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden
you to eat,
Accursed be the soil because of you!
Painfully will you get your food from it
as long as you live.
It will yield you brambles and thistles,
as you eat the produce of the land.
By the sweat of your face
will you earn you food,
until you return to the ground,
as you were taken from it.
For dust you are
and to dust you shall return.
The man named his wife 'Eve' because she was the
mother of all those who live. Yahweh God made tunics of skins for
the man and his wife and clothed them. Then Yahweh God said, 'Now
that the man has become like one of us in knowing good from evil, he
must not be allowed to reach out his hand and pick from the tree of
life too, and eat and live for ever!' So Yahweh God expelled him
from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he had been
taken. He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden he
posted the great winged creatures and the fiery flashing sword, to
guard the way to the tree of life.

Jesus speaks: Eve wanted her own will.
This is the story in the beginning of the Bible.
All were affected because Eve
did her own will for her own
pride and glory.
The world teaches you many WRONG —
WAYS —
WILLFULNESS is one.
What are you here to learn —
Do not lie to cover up your imperfections.
The Ten Commandments
-
I, the Lord, am your God. You shall
not have other gods besides me.

You shall not take the name of the
Lord, your God, in vain.

Honor your father and your mother.
-
You shall not kill.
-
You shall not commit adultery.
-
You shall not steal.
-
You shall not bear false witness
against your neighbor.
-
You shall not covet your neighbor's
wife.
-
You shall not covet anything that
belongs to your neighbor.

Jesus speaks: Some people are so
trained to make themselves
look perfect they will hurt themselves
and distort the truth in every
way because they lie to themselves.
Have you ever watched a man —
disobey —
do exactly as he was told not to do —
Then cause a ruckus after he
already was wrong —
Trying to get others to prove he
was right when he was
wrong.
This twisted behavior comes from
giving into temptations to satan.
Any lie is one too many.
Little lies are wrong.
A person could never see themselves as doing
anything wrong —
so they could never get out of their
problems because ALL HUMAN
BEINGS are IMPERFECT
Saying you're sorry is what the Our Father
is all about.
A person asked to help promote unity
and oneness amongst the brethren
and sitting isolated and doing his will without
connection would have no place being
a leader — they will lead others to be
the way they are — when given an opportunity
to grow and let go of bad habits — they
held stronger to their isolated ways —
going backward and not being a
good leader to lead the world into
oneness.
If your vision is for oneness in the world and
holiness in your hearts and you can
only live with yourself because of
your disposition that should be a
light how you are growing or not
growing.
Satan works many times in that isolation —
The person truly does not look into
the face of others interacting as
they need to, to grow in the
spiritual life.

Jesus speaks: I outpour My richest
graces to all who
pray My prayers to be living
the life of holiness God desires
dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and
Mary.
Here is My Mission in the Shepherds of Christ
Oneness in your heart with God and
each other
Oneness in the world.
In these end times — see how you
yourself - fair - in building My
Kingdom here below —
not by your tongue
or your vision
but walking the walk you
talk — starting with the
people I've asked you to
work with —
You act hypocritical when
you can't act in love with
the people you live with —
with your little community in
your family.
Satan is division —
when 6 are in the family and
5 are united picking on
one member — you have
dysfunction and a
scapegoat —
Don't be possessive and try to make
others dependent on you —
Walk as the Spouse of the Lamb
Focusing on Me
Building My Kingdom for the honor
and glory of God
No where will you ever have any
relationship as you will have
with the all-perfect God —
If disobeying the superiors to do
your own will is your agenda —
you are like Eve in the
garden —
Your actions obeying or not obeying
God's will affects everybody else.

136. THE FOURTH DAY
A MEDITATION
ON TWO STANDARDS
The one of Christ, our
supreme leader and lord,
the other of Lucifer, the deadly enemy of our
human nature
PRAYER. The usual preparatory prayer.
 |
|
window at a former
Jesuit Seminary |
137. FIRST PRELUDE. This is the
history. Here it will be that Christ calls and wants all beneath His
standard, and Lucifer, on the other hand, wants all under his.
138. SECOND PRELUDE. This is a
mental representation of the place. It will be here to see a great
plain, comprising the whole region about Jerusalem, where the
sovereign Commander-in-Chief of all the good is Christ our Lord; and
another plain about the region of Babylon, where the chief of the
enemy is Lucifer.
139. THIRD PRELUDE. This is to
ask for what I desire. Here it will be to ask for a knowledge of the
deceits of the rebel chief and help to guard myself against them;
and also to ask for a knowledge of the true life exemplified in the
sovereign and true Commander, and the grace to imitate Him.
FIRST PART
THE STANDARD OF SATAN
140. FIRST POINT. Imagine you
see the chief of all the enemy in the vast plain about Babylon,
seated on a great throne of fire and smoke, his appearance inspiring
horror and terror.
141. SECOND POINT. Consider how
he summons innumerable demons, and scatters them, some to one city
and some to another, throughout the whole world, so that no
province, no place, no state of life, no individual is overlooked.
142. THIRD POINT. Consider the
address he makes to them, how he goads them on to lay snares for men
and bind them with chains. First they are to tempt them to covet
riches (as Satan himself is accustomed to do in most cases) that
they may the more easily attain the empty honors of this world, and
then come to overweening pride.
The first step, then, will be
riches, the second honor, the third pride. From these three steps
the evil one leads to all other vices.
SECOND PART
THE STANDARD OF CHRIST
143. In a similar way, we are to
picture to ourselves the sovereign and true Commander, Christ our
Lord.
144. FIRST POINT. Consider
Christ our Lord, standing in a lowly place in a great plain about
the region of Jerusalem, His appearance beautiful and attractive.
145. SECOND POINT. Consider how
the Lord of all the world chooses so many persons, apostles,
disciples, etc., and sends them throughout the whole world to spread
His sacred doctrine among all men, no matter what their state or
condition.
146. THIRD POINT. . . .

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to
Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born,
the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ
Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your
Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your
most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in
this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help
me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my
life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust
in You!
"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal
and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of
love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You
love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of
Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a
powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In
a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and
protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and
perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of
Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate
Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced
Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

Prayer for Union with Jesus
Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and
permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You
work in my heart.
I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be
selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me
and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to
myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw
my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do,
dwelling within me.
I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do
the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world
and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire.
Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from
Your work.
When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it
on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to
change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship
You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.
Prayer for Priests
"Lord
Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, we pray that in the great love and mercy of
Your Sacred Heart You attend to all the needs of Your priest-shepherds
throughout the world. We ask that You draw back to Your Heart all those priests
who have seriously strayed from Your path, that You rekindle the desire for
holiness in the hearts of those priests who have become lukewarm, and that You
continue to give Your fervent priests the desire for the highest holiness.
United with Your Heart and Mary's Heart, we ask that You take this petition to
Your heavenly Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen"
