Jesus speaks:    Freely given —
                        Come and follow Me
                        and they left all they had —

Luke 9: 57-62

As they travelled along they met a man on the road who said to him, ‘I will follow you wherever you go.’ Jesus answered, ‘Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.’ 

    Another to whom he said, ‘Follow me,’ replied, ‘Let me go and bury my father first.’ But he answered, ‘Leave the dead to bury their dead; your duty is to go and spread the news of the kingdom of God.’ 

    Another said, ‘I will follow you, sir, but first let me go and say good–bye to my people at home.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Once the hand is laid on the plough, no one who looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.’

September 28, 2005 message continues

Jesus speaks:    I call you to be My disciples —
                            a woman or man following a religious
                            vocation - leaves father and mother
                            and follows God —

                        I have called servants and handmaids
                            to serve Me — to be deep intercessors
                            praying for the priests, the Church and the
                            world.

                        The mission of the Shepherds of Christ is to give one's
                            life — offering up all you do as
                            a deep intercessor for the priests,
                            the Church and the world.

Luke 18: 1-8

Then he told them a parable about the need to pray continually and never lose heart. ‘There was a judge in a certain town,’ he said, ‘who had neither fear of God nor respect for anyone. In the same town there was also a widow who kept on coming to him and saying, "I want justice from you against my enemy!" For a long time he refused, but at last he said to himself, "Even though I have neither fear of God nor respect for any human person, I must give this widow her just rights since she keeps pestering me, or she will come and slap me in the face." ’ 

    And the Lord said, ‘You notice what the unjust judge has to say? Now, will not God see justice done to his elect if they keep calling to him day and night even though he still delays to help them? I promise you, he will see justice done to them, and done speedily. But when the Son of man comes, will he find any faith on earth?’

Jesus speaks:    Now ever before if you were called as
                        — a leader in this Movement of
                            Mine to pray for the Church
                            that is bleeding —
                        — when the priests are dwindling
                            gray-haired priest to one parish
                        — a world where there is such violence
                            and the hurricanes and people
                            suffering —

                        And some give into the temptation of satan
                            to abandon their mission now
                            after 11 years of preparation —
                            for the world and the Church in crisis —
                            they give into the selfish temptation
                            to think only of themselves and they
                            are so blinded —
                            like Eve in the garden who thought
                            only of herself and ate the apple —
                            she was the mother of all the
                            living —

                            You can discipline your wills and
                        realize this is My Movement or

                            You can cry like a whiney baby and
                        say — "Oh I don't want to spend a long
                        time in prayer"

                            How many people who lost their
                        loved ones in the hurricane or watch
                        their house float down in rubble on
                        the river, into the ocean — wished they
                        knew the prayers they needed to pray
                        for their losses and turn to God, but
                        you were home thinking of yourselves
                        when the crisis hit instead of working
                        harder —

July 5, 2000
Our Lady of Clearwater --
 

God the Father speaks:

                            I sent Mary, Queen of the South to
                        the South and she stood like a
                        strong harbor in CLEAR - WATER —
                        the blood of her head penetrated the
                        Heart of My Son and the Gulf where
                        hurricanes have lashed and you still
                        ignore your actions and ignore the
                        Queen of Peace —

                            You followed the rubble down the
                        water and said we are in control.
                        Wake up America — Mary appeared to
                        you a chosen people and you threw
                        acid on her face and wiped off her
                        head

Jesus speaks:        And when I ask you to build a
                        wall — have you laid the bricks of
                        My Mother's wall in hate.

                            How have you built up My City?
                        To every one gifts are given, gifts are
                        expected.

                            If you think it was difficult with
                        the prayer — try to see how easy your
                        life becomes when you stop it.

                            Marian groups folded, Apparition
                        sites as satan pressed down and wiped
                        them out.

                            Read the scriptures — the apostles
                        gave up everything to follow Me —
                        now if a nun goes in the convent
                        in today's world — they may try to
                        get a nuptial agreement, a
                        dowry — a contract making
                        $50,000.

                            You have your heads screwed on
                        crooked many of you —

                            You look to the earth —

                            You are selfish and don't hear
                                the words of the scriptures —

                            Those I have called to spread the
                                needed prayers and messages
                                I have sent to this troubled
                                earth — have been tempted
                                by satan to look at themselves
                                and think only of themselves
                                their teeth, their bodies —

                        Satan is a trickster —

                        The whole world focuses on the body —
                        What of a person on a burned up bus
                        What of a person trapped in the Towers
                            of 9-11
                        What of a person in an auto accident
                        What of a person with a birth defect —
                            operated on and dies and yet
                            their body and health was their
                            god

God the Father speaks:

                        WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?

Jesus speaks:   

                            I gave My all for your sins ——

                        Here is My lesson to you

                            when you gaze on My Head —
                            what lesson did I teach you

Jesus speaks:    COME FOLLOW ME —

                            with the lesson you have taught
                            your children America —
                            many have taught their children
                                about a good name
                                about selfishness
                                but not about the spiritual
                                    life

                        You don't see the writing on the wall
                                I prepare you for 11 years on
                                    the 5ths and
                                        13ths

                                I prepare you to pray at 6:20

 
                        Never before have I seen such
                            lack of commitment when
                            the Church is bleeding
                            the priest dwindling
                            the world crying and you say                       
                        Why pray —

                            Grace is needed —

                            After the prayer service
                                August 13, 2004 in China, Indiana
                                the hurricane was averted.

                            Little casualties were wrought
                                in the Gulf from hurricane
                                "Rita" after My Jesus
                                water and Mary water
                                washed the blood from
                                the image-head away —

                            Build a wall and tear down
                                the whole city ——

                        Your reasoning is fallacious

                        You all will suffer if you do
                            not pray

Sufferings Will Befall You

January 19, 1994 4:45 a.m.

Jesus:  I write a message for the world. I write this message for you. I want to tell them to pray and not to underestimate what sufferings will befall them all. Pray constantly. You suffer this weather, you see the earthquakes and you still do not comprehend a power greater than yourself. I have all the power. I want men's minds and hearts to turn back to God. I want God first in their lives, but they are so blind. What do they need to shake them to such great power!

    All things are under My control. There is not one thing that happens that I do not allow. You are so comfortable in such evilness. Why are you not on your knees asking, "Lord what is happening?" One suffering will come after another and you will, in your blindness, have to admit to My Might. My mother comes and people pay no heed. Spread these messages. Spread her messages. Do not think of what others think of you. They will know soon enough of their blindness. Do not spend a day without telling someone news about the Blessed Mother and why she comes. Tell all of My might and tell them to pray. Prayer is your weapon in a sick world. Open up the minds of your friends. What will rock these children off their rockers? If the earth moves under them, they still stay steadfast in their ways. So stubborn, indeed. They want to be blind because they do not want to change to the ways of God!

    I am He Who comes to you this way. I am He Who wants you to pray constantly. I am He Who is calling out an alert for a change in your lives. I am He Who wants you to pray, yet you sit. You idle and hold on to such trivial things while the earth moves under your feet! I will rock the heavens. I will tell you of My might. Sit, you idle ones, but you will suffer for not praying. I am God. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, and I am ever present in your midst. You are blind and look for idle pursuits.

    You have become so comfortable in this evilness that you do not even sit up and take notice. "Oh, it is okay. I don't like it, but it is okay." Your children are being poisoned by the world, as if someone gives them constant poison, and you worry about your sports and what have you!

    Where in the world do you think you are going? Man thinks he is here to stay. He spends his days making his life "better" he thinks: more things--more things, more money, better bodies, clean breath, better smelling feet--oh, such insane pursuits! Let's make these bodies so perfect! Our lives should reflect the perfect life! Our children run races for glory every day, not even knowing the Ten Commandments! You make every moment a pleasure in itself. Make yourselves happy. Eat, drink, be merry, be beautiful, be smart, be perfect. Forget God--who is He? We have a life going on here and we are going to enjoy every moment! This society is sick, sick, sick. What they are enjoying is destroying their souls. Children are not even aware that I exist and their lives are totally secular. They are so blind. Oh, America, I lament everything you do. It is senseless and without meaning!

    The Son of Man is in your midst and you do not even know who He is. What more can I say. Spread My good news that Jesus is Lord and He is Coming, that you had better turn your lives back to Him now. Mary, My mother, is coming. The sun spins. What do they need? Such attachments to their sick ways! Pray constantly. Tell others about Me. Tell them to read the Bible and amend their ways. Tell them that I am God and that they need to turn their lives back to Me. Tell them to repent and pray. My mercy is great and I am waiting with open arms.

    Pray, America, pray. You will soon know My might if you continue your foolish ways. Every soul who is fixed in Me is My messenger. Go to the highways and byways and tell all: Jesus is Lord and He wants you to amend your lives. He will rock the earth and you will know His might. Time is short. Repent and pray constantly. What do I do to shake you? This earth is very insecure, here today, gone tomorrow. The only things that remain are the things of God.

    I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. Hear Me, America. Listen and be attentive! I do not come to give a message for one or two. This is My message for all. You will know My might in big proportions. I will rock you off your rockers. You must turn your lives to God. You are not here for fun and sin and whatever you are doing. Oh, little ones, you miss My tremendous love for you. You have missed all the good I have for you. You are stubborn and willful. You are silly and sick. Pray for your brothers. Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray. Offer everything you do as a prayer and know I never ever leave you! I love you, My child. This message is an act of love!

    I gave Myself that you might live. I am He Who comes to deliver this message to you and you are blind. Look beyond the cup and the drink. This is your miracle, that I am truly present in the Eucharist.

    I am here. Open your eyes and see Me here in your midst. Come to Me all who labor and are heavily burdened and I will give you rest. I am your God and I comfort you on your way. I am waiting for you to come and be in union with Me.

    You, My faithful ones, can no longer be silent. Don't worry. Speak out. Others need you!

end of January 19, 1994

Jesus speaks:        I have given you gifts for 11 years —

                        On January 5, 1999
                            God the Father gave this message
                            under the image

Jesus speaks:    My hand is down and only the
                            prayers begging for mercy
                            and grace can avert the
                            vengeance I have.

                        I beg you to follow Me and to
                            love.

                        For 2000 years since My death on
                            the cross I have begged you
                            to love Me and each other,
                            I gave you Myself in the Eucharist.

                        My Mother appeared at Fatima and
                            gave these messages  

Lucia (now Sr. Lucia) describes the springtime apparition of the angel:

On reaching us, he said: “Do not be afraid! I am the Angel of Peace. Pray with me.”

"My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You."

Then, rising he said: "Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications."

His words engraved themselves so deeply on our minds that we could never forget them (3)

During the summer of 1916, the angel again appeared to the three visionaries. He said to them:

Pray! Pray a great deal. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have merciful designs on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices continually to the Most High. Make everything you do a sacrifice, and offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which God is offended, and as a petition for the conversion of sinners. Bring peace to our country in this way.... I am the Guardian Angel of Portugal Accept and bear with submission all the sufferings the Lord will send you. (4)

In the fall of the same year, the angel visited the visionaries a final time:

The angel came...bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed that drops of blood were falling from the Host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid-air and prostrated himself on the ground, saying this beautiful prayer: "Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners." (5)

Sr. Lucia relates how the angel gave them Communion:

Then, rising, he took the chalice and the Host in his hand. He gave the Sacred Host to me and shared the Blood from the chalice between Jacinta and Francisco, saying as he did so:

"Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God." (6)

Excerpts from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Father Carter, S.J.

May 13, 1917 

    "Do not be afraid, I will do you no harm..... I am from Heaven.

    "I have come to ask you to come here for six months in succession, on the 13th day, at the same hour. Later on, I will tell you who I am and what I want

    "Are you willing to offer yourselves to God and bear all the sufferings He wills to send you, as an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and in supplication for the conversion of sinners?

    "Pray the Rosary every day in order to obtain peace for the world, and the end of the war." ⁽⁸⁾

  

June 13, 1917

    "God wishes you to remain in the world for some time because He wants to use you to establish in the world the devotion to my Immaculate Heart. I promise salvation to those who embrace it, and their souls will be loved by God as flowers placed by myself to adorn His throne." ⁽¹⁰⁾

  

July 13, 1917

    "During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." ⁽¹¹⁾

    "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⁾

  

August 19, 1917

    She told them she was greatly displeased by the action of the mayor. As a result, the miracle promised for October would not be as impressive as originally planned. ⁽¹⁵⁾

 

September 13, 1917

    More than 30,000 people were present in September, and saw a shower of mysterious white petals fall to within 10 feet of the ground before dissolving into the air. Many also saw the globe of light bearing the Lady come to rest atop the tree, and the branches bend as though someone were standing on them. Later, they saw the cloud depart into the east, from whence it had come.⁽¹⁶⁾

  

October 13, 1917

    I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.⁽¹⁷⁾

    While the people in attendance were beholding the great Miracle of the Sun, the three young visionaries, and they alone, were privileged to see striking visions in the heavens:

    As Our Lady had promised, St. Joseph had come with the Holy Family and had blessed the world. Then, Our Lady appeared as the Mother of Sorrows, accompanied by her Divine Son, Who also blessed the world. Finally, Lucy had seen the Blessed Virgin, dressed in the brown robes of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, crowned as Queen of Heaven and Earth, holding a brown Scapular in her hand, with her infant Son upon her knee. However, in none of these visions had any of the figures spoken to the children. ⁽¹⁸⁾

    Besides the messages associated with the major Fatima apparitions, there were other revelations given by Our Lady. Before Jacinta died, she told of other messages given her (during her illness) by Mary:

    More souls go to Hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.

    Certain fashions will be introduced that will offend Our Lord very much.

    Many marriages are not good; they do not please Our Lord and are not of God.

    Priests must be pure, very pure. They should not busy themselves with anything except what concerns the Church and souls. The disobedience of priests, to their superiors and to the Holy Father, is very displeasing to Our Lord.

    I can no longer restrain the hand of my Divine Son from striking the world with just punishments for its many crimes.

    If the government of a country leaves the Church in peace and gives liberty to our Holy Religion, it will be blessed by God.

    Tell everybody that God gives graces through the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. ⁽¹⁹⁾

Jesus speaks:    Mary appeared Our Lady of Fatima in the
                            Americas and you knocked
                            off her head

                        Make reparation,
                            pray for your priests, the
                                Church and the world as I
                                have told you

Nehemiah 2: 1-8

In the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, since I was in charge of the wine, I took the wine and offered it to the king. Now, he had never seen me looking depressed before. So the king said to me, ‘Why are you looking depressed? You are not sick! This must be a sadness of the heart.’ Thoroughly alarmed by this, I said to the king, ‘May the king live for ever! How can I not look depressed when the city where the tombs of my ancestors are lies in ruins and its gates have been burnt down?’ The king then said to me, ‘What would you like me to do?’ Praying to the God of heaven, I said to the king, ‘If the king approves and your servant enjoys your favour, send me to Judah, to the city of the tombs of my ancestors, so that I can rebuild it.’ The king—with the queen sitting beside him—said, ‘How long will your journey take, and when will you come back?’ Once I had given him a definite time, the king approved my mission. 

    I then said to the king, ‘If the king approves, may I be given orders for the governors of Transeuphrates to let me pass through on my way to Judah? Also an order for Asaph, keeper of the king’s forest, to supply me with timber for the beams of the gates of the citadel of the Temple, for the city walls and for the house which I am to occupy?’ These the king granted me because the kindly hand of my God was over me.  

Luke 9: 57-62

As they travelled along they met a man on the road who said to him, ‘I will follow you wherever you go.’ Jesus answered, ‘Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man has nowhere to lay his head.’ 

    Another to whom he said, ‘Follow me,’ replied, ‘Let me go and bury my father first.’ But he answered, ‘Leave the dead to bury their dead; your duty is to go and spread the news of the kingdom of God.’ 

    Another said, ‘I will follow you, sir, but first let me go and say good–bye to my people at home.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Once the hand is laid on the plough, no one who looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.’

Jesus speaks:    By pouring My Jesus water from
                            My well and
                            My Mary water in the waters
                            you appeased My anger for what
                            you did to
                            Our Lady of Clearwater/Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas
                            and a priest blessing the bodies of water.

                        You appeased My anger from pouring
                            water from My well and Mary's well
                            in the gulf.

                        Build a wall and tear down the city

                        My city is built on love.
                        I am love.
