Ezekiel 34: 11-16
“For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it. As a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness. I shall bring them back from the peoples where they are; I shall gather them back from the countries and bring them back to their own land. I shall pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the inhabited parts of the country. I shall feed them in good pasturage; the highest mountains of Israel will be their grazing ground. There they will rest in good grazing grounds; they will browse in rich pastures on the mountains of Israel. I myself shall pasture my sheep, I myself shall give them rest–declares the Lord Yahweh. I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and make the sick strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd to them."
Psalm 23
Yahweh is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
In grassy meadows he lets me lie.
By tranquil streams he leads me
to restore my spirit.
He guides me in paths of saving justice
as befits his name.
Even were I to walk in a ravine as dark as death
I should fear no danger, for you are at my side.
Your staff and your crook are there to soothe me.
You prepare a table for me
under the eyes of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup brims over.
Kindness and faithful love pursue me
every day of my life.
I make my home in the house of Yahweh
for all time to come.
John 19: 25-27
Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, ‘Woman, this is your son.’ Then to the disciple he said, ‘This is your mother.’ And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.

Fr. Pedro Arrupe,S.J., former Superior General of the Society of Jesus, speaks of the pierced Heart of Jesus: "The figure of the Crucified over the earth, with his side wide open, has its roots in the Old Testament and is a compendium, as it were, of the theology of John's Gospel. It could be said that it is a summary of the whole of Christianity. More than any other symbol, this is a sign in St. John of the redeeming fecundity of the death of Christ. The open side, from which blood and water gush forth, responds to a Semitic symbolism: the wound, a sign of death (the slain lamb); and the blood and water, a sign of life and fecundity. Thus the pierced heart is the symbol of the Paschal Lamb of the New Covenant."22Fr. Arrupe also offers us these ideas concerning the love of Christ's Heart: "...another wound that afflicts the world today is instability...In Europe and outside Europe, in the East and in the West, instability is the bane of many governments and political parties, fluctuation is the law in the money exchange and in the market. Changeable is the rhythm of demand and supply.
"But that is not all. The world today is afraid of the instability of its own ideas and beliefs. Many people who are at the helm of human activities and trends feel uncertain about the validity of principles, rights and duties, particularly in the field of social justice. Even the philosophical structure of thought is tottering and becomes skeptical and agnostic. Repercussions of this instability are felt in the Catholic field as well where one can perceive much vacillation and uncertainty even in private and professional life...
"Isn't this a sign that we need Jesus more than at any time in the past? Only he stands firm, indestructible upon the rock, while everything around him wavers in constant restlessness. Our Saviour has ever remained constant in his statements of yes or no. Through Peter he continues today to impart a feeling of security to the poor human mind, a fragile little barque tossed in the stormy ocean. We must give our minds a sure criterion. We need a source of knowledge which is ever fresh and young, today and tomorrow as it was in the days of St. Paul--the science of the love of Christ.
"Paul wanted to communicate to his Christians a re-assuring certitude that will never lose sight of the love of Jesus for us. Some of the faithful in the church at Ephesus were attracted to some strange ideas and mysterious concepts. Paul tells them forcefully that there is one knowledge that transcends all others--the knowledge of the love of Christ, on which the stability of human thought depends. "This is a love without bounds, because the love of the Heart of Christ is infinite in depth, in its height and breadth; there are no boundaries of time or place, or limitation of persons.
"This is, my brothers, where I invite you to fix your minds and especially our hearts; in the love of Christ we shall find stability in life, the happiness of feeling ourselves loved, security on the way. These blessings will surely be ours if in following Jesus we are led by her who is the Mother of the eternal Wisdom, the Daughter of Love and the Lady of the Way"23

R. So we know from the Pierced Heart
of Christ the Church was
born —
Water for baptism and His Blood
for the Eucharist —
If I could even understand more what
it means to be given such a gift
as baptism, I would write a sonnet
about this gift God has given to me.
In the time of beepers, and buzzers
and rings and computers and i-pods and
all the text capabilities —
I would write what I know
about baptism —
In baptism we receive a sharing
in His life. In the days of communication
you would think this would be most
talked about, our hearts would
yearn to tell the world about
the gift of baptism and we would
want with such eagerness to tell
the world.
Baptism takes away original
sin, but man still has tendencies
toward the deadly sins because
of his wounded human nature.
But in baptism our knowing and
loving capacity is elevated. We can
actually participate in God's loving
activity — which means I can
love God with this special
love, I can love others more
and more.
What a gift —
We are called, commanded to
love God and love others as ourselves
and love God with our whole heart,
our whole soul and our whole
being.
But loving is a capacity —
I grow in this. Love is a theological
virtue, its increase comes from
God living in me — giving me
more and more ability to love
like Him —
So Jesus gave me this song —
Song: Give me Your Heart oh Jesus
R. Here is an excerpt from August 28, 1996 p. 238
“Mass after Mass, after Mass is said lacking emotion. Where are the hearts that empty themselves? Please circulatethe messages about the Mass. When will the time be right? I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Unless the messages of My burning love are transmitted in the Church the bloodshed will continue. Your Church bears the marks of sin and suffering. My love, burning and on fire is the mighty medicine for the sick world and the Church. I beg you to circulate these messages on the Mass and the rosary. I am Jesus. My souls are hungry and begging to be fed.”Jesus:
Excerpt from August 6, 1996 p. 121
5.
Jesus: My beloved ones, I call to you this evening, My chosen and special ones that I have called in this room. Please, this is an urgent request. You do not know of the sufferings of men today, sufferings brought on by their own sinfulness. Will you carry this message into the world and tell the men that I am alive and that I want to live in their hearts.
Excerpt from July 5, 1996 p. 29
3.
R. The gentle heart of the Child Jesus – how tenderly He loves each one of us and He came into this world a little child because He wanted us to love Him. Look at the hearts of men this day. So cold and hard are the hearts of many men but Jesus comes and shows us His gentle Heart. Jesus, teach us to have hearts like little children, that we will live to please our heavenly Father, that we will not be haughty and prideful but within our hearts that we will be gentle and kind as the heart of a little child, a heart that does not hold anger and resentment, but a heart that forgives and loves.
Excerpt from September 3, 1996 p. 260
3.
R. And Simeon said, “This Child is destined for the rise andfall of many in Israel.” Once Jesus touches our heart, we are never the same. We can accept His love or reject His love. Our hearts can be hard or soft. Once Jesus touches a heart, the heart is never the same.
Excerpt from August 19, 1996 p. 187
6. Jesus:
You are My stars that go by in the darkness this day, and it is through you that My light will shine to all those you touch. Give Me your heart. I am waiting for you, and I will fill you with the brightest light, and you will radiate against the darkened sky and shine as the brightest lights in the night. I am Jesus. I am all powerful and almighty. You, My dear ones, will be molded into My image and likeness, and the world will know My life and My love through you.
Song: God's Love

St. Therese and the Heart of Christ
The following words of St. Therese of Lisieux, contained in a letter to one of her sisters, have an obvious connection with the above act of consecration to the Heart of Christ: “I myself find it very easy to practice perfection, for I know that all one has to do is to take Jesus by His Heart. Even if I had on my conscience every sin it is possible to commit, I should fling myself, my heart broken with sorrow, into the arms of Jesus, for I know He loves the prodigal child who returns to Him.”9

The Heart of Christ
June is the month especially dedicated to the Heart of Christ. In the preface of the Mass for the Solemn Feast of the Sacred Heart, the Church puts before us these words: “Lifted high on the cross, Christ gave his life for us, so much did he love us. From his wounded side flowed blood and water, the fountain of sacramental life in the Church. To his open heart the Savior invites all…to draw water in joy from the springs of salvation.”14 Who would want to refuse the Savior’s invitation?

Thoughts on the Eucharist
The Eucharist is our chief source for growth in the Christ-life. There follow some thoughts on this magnificent Gift of Jesus to us.
- When Jesus speaks of His Blood as the “Blood of the Covenant” (Mt 26:28), we are reminded that blood sealed or ratified the Mosaic covenant at Mount Sinai. Moses sprinkled sacrificial blood upon the altar, which represented God, and upon the Jewish people. Because blood was a distinctive symbol of life for the Jewish people, such an action had a deep significance for them. This action of Moses symbolized the sealing or ratification of the covenant—a new life relationship between Yahweh and the Jewish people.
The sacrificial Blood of Jesus has also formed a covenant—the New Covenant. In the shedding of His Blood, Jesus has established a new life relationship between His Father and the human race. Forming a core, focal point of the redeemed human race are the members of the Christian community, the Church. The Eucharist, in recalling and making sacramentally present the shedding of Jesus’ covenant Blood, is the Church’s great covenant act. The Eucharist sustains the life of the covenant, nourishes it, causes it to grow. Through participation in the Eucharistic liturgy we should be growing in our covenant life. We should be developing a greater love-union with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We should be growing in a sense of community, in a deep love for the Church, in a desire to contribute our share to the building up of the body of Christ. We should be learning to curb our selfishness, this selfishness which deadens a dynamic concern for the Christian community and the entire human race. Participation in the Eucharist should also be curbing divisive jealousy, forming us more and more as persons who want deeply to love all so that it can be more often said of us, “See those Christians, how they love one another.” The Eucharist can more radically shape us according to these covenant attitudes if we allow it to do so. We repent over the times we have resisted. We rejoice regarding the times we have opened ourselves to the Eucharist’s transformative power.

Christ and His Church
“I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd is one who lays down his life for his sheep. The hired man, since he is not the shepherd and the sheep do not belong to him, abandons the sheep and runs away as soon as he sees a wolf coming, and then the wolf attacks and scatters the sheep. This is because he is only a hired man and has no concern for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father. And I lay down my life for my sheep.” (Jn 10:11-151)
Yes, the Good Shepherd has laid down His life for His sheep. The Good Shepherd’s magnificent Heart, overflowing with love for the Father and all of us, was pierced so that the waters of our salvation might flow forth: “It was Preparation Day, and to prevent the bodies remaining on the cross during the sabbath—since that sabbath was a day of special solemnity—the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken away. Consequently the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with him and then of the other. When they came to Jesus, they found he was already dead, and so instead of breaking his legs one of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance; and immediately there came out blood and water.” (Jn 19:31-34).
Bonaventure, the Franciscan saint and doctor of the Church, comments on the pierced Heart of the Good Shepherd: “Then, in order that the Church might be formed out of the side of Christ sleeping on the cross…the divine plan permitted that one of the soldiers pierce open His sacred side with a lance. While blood mixed with water flowed, the price of our salvation was poured forth, which gushing forth from the sacred fountain of the heart, gave power to the sacraments of the Church…”2
And very importantly, the Second Vatican itself tells us: “The wonders wrought by God among the people of the Old Testament were but a prelude to the work of Christ the lord in redeeming mankind and giving perfect glory to God. He achieved His task principally by the paschal mystery of His blessed passion, resurrection from the dead, and glorious ascension, whereby ‘dying, he destroyed our death, and, rising, he restored our life.’ For it was from the side of Christ, as He slept the sleep of death upon the cross that there came forth the wonderful sacrament which is the whole Church.”3
Yes, the Church was born from the pierced side of the Good Shepherd. The Church today is existing in very critical times. The world is experiencing a great multitude of problems, some of these most critical ones. The Church herself, which is a God-given source of light to the world, is herself beset with numerous challenges and problems. One of these problems is the numerous types of divisions existent in the Church. These are hampering her ability to be a light to this troubled world.
We priests, through the sacrament of orders, have been brought into a very special union with Christ. The interests of Christ must, consequently, be the interests of the priest in a most special manner. Consequently, since Christ has a most passionate love for His Church, the priest must strive to imitate this love. The priest must have a deep desire to help heal the wounds of the Church. He must have a burning desire to help her be more what God destines her to be. We must help her become a brighter light to lead a troubled world back to God.

The Heart of Christ
We have just reflected on how the Holy Spirit labors within us to deepen our love for Christ, how He wishes to give us a burning desire to give our all for our magnificent Savior, this Jesus Who died a brutal and agonizing death for you and for me, this Jesus from Whose pierced Heart the Church was born.
Oh, how glorious would be the Church’s existence if many more of her members would be on fire with love for Christ! They would have a burning and all-consuming desire to help spread Christ’s magnificent love in ever greater measure to the whole world.
Our task as priests is to help lead the members of the Church to this kind of deep love for Jesus Christ. Obviously, the deeper our own love for Jesus, the more able we are to help others grow in an enthusiastic love for Him, a love which helps to renew the Church and the world.
One of the great ways God has given us to aid us in developing a deep love relationship with Jesus is devotion to the Heart of Christ. In the preface of the Mass for the Feast of the Sacred Heart, a Feast which we have recently celebrated, the Church invites all her members to come to the pierced Heart of Jesus for life-giving graces:
“Lifted high on the cross,
Christ gave his life for us,
so much did he love us.
From his wounded side flowed blood and water,
the fountain of sacramental life in the Church.
To his open heart the Savior invites all men,
to draw water in joy from the springs of salvation.”12St. Peter Canisius, doctor of the Church, is an outstanding example of one who drank deeply from the Heart of Christ. In doing so, this man of brilliant intellect, became a great saint. In the office for his feast, April 27, we are told:
“St. Peter Canisius is rightly known as the second apostle of Germany. On receiving the apostolic blessing before setting out for that country, he was favored with a mystical experience which he described as follows: ‘Eternal High Priest, in your great goodness it pleases you that I should seek from your Apostles confirmation and success for the apostolic blessing I had received.
“‘For pilgrims come to pray to them in the Vatican, and there, by your power, they work miracles. I experienced there a great consolation and the same sense of the presence of your grace which was being offered to me through their intercession. They gave me their blessing too, confirmed my mission to Germany and seemed to be promising me their goodwill as apostle of Germany. You know, Lord, how urgently and how often that day you entrusted Germany to me, telling me ever after to have her good at heart, and to wish to live and die on her behalf.
“‘Finally, my Saviour, I seemed to be gazing at the Heart of your Sacred Body with my own eyes. It was as if you opened to me and told me to drink from it as from a spring, inviting me to draw the waters of salvation from these springs of yours. I was filled with longing that the waters of faith, hope and charity should flow from your Heart into me. I thirsted for poverty, chastity and obedience; I begged you to wash me all over and dress me in fine clothing. Then I dared to touch your beloved Heart and bury my thirst in it; and you promised me a robe woven in three parts to cover my naked soul and help me greatly in my undertaking. Those three parts were peace, love and perseverance. Secure in the protection of this garment, I was confident that I would lack nothing, and that everything would turn out for your glory.’”13

Fr. Carter had a dream.
R. In 1998 Fr. Carter visited the Ukraine
with an attempt to spread
the Priestly Newsletter and Prayer Chapters
there to a struggling Church.
We have tried to do what Jesus
asked Fr. Carter
and spread the prayers
Jesus gave Fr. Carter to the priests,
the hierarchy and the pope —
Devotion to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate
Heart is at the root of Mary's Fatima message.
The Shepherds of Christ is a continuation of
spreading this devotion to the Sacred Heart
and Immaculate Heart to the whole world.
On September 1, 1939 —
Poland was invaded by
Germany
75 years ago
In 2017 — 100 years since
Fatima — where will
we actually be in living the
message of Fatima —
R.
Here is a rosary
Mary and Jesus gave me
in Blue Book 15
17 Years Ago
April 13, 1997
4 months after Mary
appeared in Clearwater.
Jesus gave directions to have
a retreat at Our Lady of Holy Spirit Center —
Fr. Carter was not there.
The Retreat was several days —
On April 13, 1997 I did this rosary
before a large crowd
after which I went to
the front of the Church
and talked about Falmouth
and had a handout that
God the Father told me to
hand out.
On another day — I talked
about the Eucharist
On another day we talked
about the Ministries —
On the 13th this is the
rosary I received
The 7th 13th
April 13, 1997
This rosary was received on Sunday, April the 13th, 1997 at an International Shepherds of Christ Associates Meeting at the Holy Spirit Center, Cincinnati, OH. The meditations and messages were given to Rita Ring during the rosary. This rosary was received live and transcribed from the recording.
Glorious Mysteries
The Resurrection
1. Song: A Song from Jesus
2. R. Did you see Him come forth from the tomb adorned in the brightest light and splendor? Did you see Him? I saw Him. I saw Him before my eyes transfigured in the brightest light and I cried. He is alive. He is risen. He is alive and He is treated like a dead object in many cases. But He cries out. From this tabernacle, He cried out and He said, “I long for the soul that comes to Me and gives Me their love.”
Song: He is risen, He is risen, He is risen
3. R. I had a vision. I had 3 great visions. The one was on March the 26th, 1996 and this account is written in the Apostles Manual. (Also Blue Book 10) The second was on Holy Saturday night and the whole wall was adorned in this light that I cannot describe for it was not a light. It was something supernatural or so it seemed. It kind of looked like a mirror and it looked like the water glistening on the river over at Tom’s farm, except it’s golden. But that’s nothing like what it is because to describe a supernatural thing is impossible it seems to me in human terms. But this was on Holy Saturday and there was a resurrected Jesus statue there and the whole light that went up to St. Joseph, the whole wall was adorned in this light, I don’t even know what to call it, because it’s brighter than any light. Jesus was transfigured, I saw this light, I can't even describe it. Envision Jesus as He comes forth from the tomb as I saw Him transfigured, as I saw this light on this night. Jesus the Light of the World. Do we know? Do we understand? Do we comprehend? We have bits and pieces of things in our head about Jesus and it is all so clear to me. This is how it is. Adam and Eve sinned. The light had been dimmed because Adam and Eve sinned. They had this intense knowing of knowing God, all these gifts that God gave to them and it was dimmed from the sin. And Jesus comes and He is born the Light of the World. But we are still a people walking in darkness for we never comprehend or have this understanding that Adam and Eve had. And Jesus comes and He comes into the world and the light shines over the stable, for He is the Light. Jesus teaches us about God. We are children of the light. God gives us the Church. God gives us baptism – Jesus died and rose so we could share in His life. In baptism our knowing and loving capacity is elevated. We share in God's loving activity. WOW. Adam and Eve sin. The light is dimmed. They do not know God as they once did. Jesus comes the Light of the World, but the people do not comprehend.
From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.
The Holy Spirit
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary's Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother's Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!"
Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us.
end of excerpt
R. Jesus is the Light of the World. We are like people that are walking this earth with a shade down, a veil. We do not comprehend and we do not understand. We do not see Him in His magnificence and His light. We do not know many things. If we did we would all be on our faces right now, flat on the ground giving praise and worship to the Almighty God. Jesus is truly present and in this room in the Eucharist. But there is a shade down; it is as in a room. If the shade is down, there is darkness and the sunlight does not come through from the outside. But if the shade is lifted, the sunlight comes into the room. Jesus is the Light of the world. What we know is veiled. God can lift the veil. We can see more and more if God lets us. We do not need to be focused on so many foolish things. He is risen, the Light of the World, and He gives to us a sharing in His life.
Song: He is risen, He is risen, He is risen
4. Song: City of God
R. It is all there. The Mass is there. The Sacraments are there. God wants to fill us more and more with His life. This grace is outpoured on this earth. But we do not comprehend. Spread the consecration to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart to priests. We need grace to be outpoured more and more on the world. Pray the prayers Jesus gave Fr. Carter. This is what the Shepherds of Christ Movement is all about. It is the Father’s plan from all eternity that the Shepherds of Christ Movement would be major in helping to spread the consecration to the priests, that priest's hearts would be consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, that a nation, that a Church, that a people that are walking in darkness will see the light and that grace would be outpoured. Spreading the Consecration will help us to have holy priests. It is now as if the shade is down and the sun is on the other side of the shade but I do not see it. Jesus is giving us immense light, the more we consecrate our hearts to Jesus and Mary. God wants our intimate love. We must reach the priests with the Priestly Newsletter that they will consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary, that their hearts will be turned to hearts of love, that they will know God with the greatest intimacy, for the Holy Spirit works within the heart of the Virgin Mary and gives great lights.
5. R. Jesus is alive. We are His faithful witnesses. Jesus is in this room, the Almighty God, the same Jesus that came forth from the tomb, truly present in the Eucharist. He will give to us this understanding into Him in this new era, the Reign of the Two Hearts, for we will be the children of light that will know God with such intensity.
6. R. And so how did the stone come away from the tomb? When Mary Magdalene got to the tomb, the stone had been rolled back. Jesus had risen. And where were the Apostles? Where were they a lot of the time? They were afraid. They touched Jesus. They talked to Jesus. He taught them. They ate with Jesus and they were afraid. Where were they when the stone was rolled back? Were they in a room? Were they afraid in that room? Were they talking about how they were going to be apprehended because they knew Him? They didn’t hear what Jesus said. Jesus kept telling them but they did not hear for they were deaf. They were in the room discussing how someone might get them - being afraid.
7. R. Isn’t this kind of like us today? Mary appeared over and over and over and over and over again as Our Lady of Light to me every day for 14 months and it was a gift from God. Mary appeared as Our Lady of Light for she was calling out to us to tell us that we must consecrate our hearts to her heart and when we do the Holy Spirit will fill us with His grace and we will know God more and more from the light that He will give to us. We are blind like the Apostles and you say, “How can they be so blind? They walked with Him. They touched Him. They talked to Him.” But they did not comprehend. Is this not how it is today? For we should believe. Some people have not believe in Fatima. It has been approved by the Church. The Almighty God sent Mary to this earth as a great gift, the pure and Immaculate one, and she tells us what we have to do. We have to consecrate our hearts to her heart and the Heart of her Son. There is no other way. Because, in order to go into this era in which men will know God with this immense light, we have to go to the heart of Mary or the spiritual womb of Mary. Why don’t we listen to Mary at Fatima? Why don’t we spread the consecration? Because the devil has blocked the Fatima message for 80 years now. This, today, is a major part of the completion of the Fatima message and Jesus is the teacher. He is teaching us about what will bring about this great era in which men will know God, will love God, and the earth will be as the Father intended from the beginning - one happy family in one mind, in one heart, loving God and loving one another. Jesus is risen. Jesus is with us. Let us pray for the light that we will see, that we are not in the darkness, that we will be the leaders, that we will go out and spread the consecration as Mary said at Fatima, that we will help to spread it especially to the priests. For it is when the priests are celebrating the Mass with hearts consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we can be so united in holy love – one body in Him.
8. R. Somewhere in the Scriptures Jesus says that they pray to Me only with their lips. This will be the Age of the Two Hearts. We look at the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Jesus has His hands on both sides of His Heart. He’s showing us “this is My Heart. You must come to Me with your heart of love!” Not in our head! We must know things in our head. But we must be a people that are filled with heart-felt love for God in our hearts. How is our love for God? Is it in our mouth and in our head? Love is not in our head only. God wants hearts that are loving. That’s what Jesus shows us with His hands on each side of His Heart, that love is in the heart. We must lead the priests to the Priestly Newsletter for it is in the Priestly Newsletter that He will write the messages of His love on their hearts. We want the Word to live in us. Jesus is alive! Now many read the Word of God with no emotion, no feeling, no love! God gives Himself to us! He is love! We must have love for God. It isn’t conversation. It isn’t little prayers that we throw at Him. It is love that He wants. He is alive.
9. Song: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, the Light of the World
10. R. Peter, James and John slept in the garden? Christ was in the Garden in such suffering and they slept. And He went to them and said, “Can you not spend one hour with Me?” And so we think back and we think, “How, how could these Apostles sleep when they saw Jesus, Jesus, the Almighty God, Who was always so full of peace? When they saw Jesus and He was asking them for this hour and they slept. Is this kind of like us? There are 24 hours in the day, but in our busy lives, as little ants, we are so busy with all of our work and our paper work and the Almighty God, Who gives us every breath and every heartbeat, Who controls everything, Who is truly present, we don’t have time for Him. But in a second He can stop us in our place. We are the apostles that He is calling this day, to go into the new era, to bring the light, to bring His love into this world, a love that will make their hearts burn, for now many hearts are so cold. That’s what He said to me. “You come to Me with such a cold heart.” And I think, “Oh, Jesus.” Jesus is God. Jesus is love. Jesus' Heart is a furnace, a burning furnace of love. We do not even know love. God is love! Jesus is truly present in the tabernacle and in the Eucharist. And if we want to know love, we must go to the source, for it is in going to the source that we will be satisfied and that we will share love with one another. How silly when God is love, but we leave Him out of the picture many times.
Let us sing this song to the Holy Spirit and let us beg Him to come.
Song between decades: Come Holy Spirit
The Ascension
1. R. How is it in this world today? You go out and you see all of the things that we do not like in the world. And we feel so uncomfortable for it just doesn’t devi-up with our hearts. And so then we go back to Jesus and it feels really, really good and then we go back out to the world and then the world is, for a large part, not like Jesus. And so we go back and forth between these two worlds, but we know the world that feels so good is the world that’s in our heart. We live in Him in the world.
2. R. When the world out there feels good, when the world feels good when I leave out Jesus, then we’re in big trouble because He is the source of life. He is the source of love. He is the Almighty God.
3. Jesus: And so My beloved ones, I have called you, for I am the teacher and I have called you here this day to teach you. But you must open up your heart and listen. For I am the Almighty God with a Divine mind and I am speaking to you and your minds are limited. They are human minds and you do not comprehend My ways; but I teach you and you turn away. My word I give to you, My word written from My Divine mind. My beloved ones, you must pray to the Holy Spirit that you will see, that you will comprehend, for My world is so different from your world. I see you there and I know you are struggling. But each person in this room I have called. I have called you to be My apostle to go out into the darkness and to spread My light. The Apostles slept in the garden. They did not comprehend. They did not believe. They were blind and they were deaf. But, the Church, this day, is built up from the work of the Apostles. You are My apostles that I am sending into the Church, into the school, to the families to help lead them to the love in My Sacred Heart. If you say “no” to Me, who will I send? Do you know that I have called you today? How is your mind? Is it half closed or half open? How is your heart? You just do not know. Is it safe to get into your heart for you may feel pain? Do you see My Heart surrounded with a crown of thorns? My beloved ones, the gifts I give to you are far greater than any suffering that you experience. If you close your heart, you will never be happy, for you were created to know My love. Open your heart now. Open your heart wide. Open your mind and listen as I speak to you, for I will teach you My ways and you will be My soldiers, My soldiers of light. How you respond will make the difference to so many souls. And there was a soul. Let us think about the soul, the soul that is on the edge of death at this moment. And what did they do with their life? Did they go to Church? Did they think about God? Did they think about their money? Did they think about their children? Were they always looking for something more? What did they do? But at this moment, they are being called forever and ever and ever to go somewhere. There is a soul on the edge of death. Where will the soul go? It depends on how they lived their life.
4. Jesus: And so I tell you, My sweet one, I tell you how much I love you. Do you hear Me? Do you crave love in your heart but you are not satisfied? You must come to Me for you were created with the desire to know, love and serve God. The Father has a plan for you from the day you were born. You were created to know My Divine love and nothing here will fill that craving in your soul. Was it your money? Was it your car? Was it your business? What was your god? There is a soul on the edge of death. What was his god and where will he go?
5. R. Jesus took the Apostles out to a town near Bethany and He raised His arms and He ascended into heaven. And they were awestruck as they looked from the field below and they were filled with fear. And they locked themselves in a room.
6. R. Do we see the world? Do we turn on the television and see how it is? Do we realize that we are the apostles that He has called to carry out the Good News? We know what it is like on the television. Does it make sense that God after He gave Himself and died on the cross that He would not send messages this day in order to change men’s hearts?
7. R. And Mary speaks in the message in the Mary Message tape and she says, “I appear, I appear, I appear, I appear, I appear and I am ignored.” She appeared, and she appeared, and she appeared so many times since Fatima to tell the children that they must go to her heart, that in order to see the light that we must go to the heart of Mary. It is like this: Adam and Eve sinned; the new Adam and the new Eve, are Jesus and Mary. Jesus comes into the world in the womb of the Virgin Mary and Mary brings forth the Light of the World. He is the first born from the dead. We are the children of Eve. The sin has been passed down. We are tainted in our human natures. In order to be close to God, He gives us the one pure, Immaculate one, the new Eve. We must go to Mary's Immaculate Heart, her spiritual womb, and be brought forth a child of light. The light was dimmed for Adam and Eve. Christ showed us the way. He came in the womb of Mary and was brought forth the Light of the World. If we want to know God, we must go to the heart of Mary and be brought forth a child of light.
8. R. It was on Ascension Thursday, 1995, and Our Lord called out, “I am alive. I am alive. I am alive.” And I was in immense suffering, buckled over as if someone was sticking swords inside me and hearing His voice. This is what He calls out to us today, “I am alive. I am alive. I am alive and I am treated in many cases like a dead object.” We are His apostles that will carry the light into the darkness and they will know that He is alive in these messages. You read the Blue Book messages and you hear Him speak in those letters, “My dear one, I love you so much. I am with you. Do you not know I stand by your bed at night? I am guarding you. I am in your every breath. I am with you.” And so from reading His letters of love, the mighty medicine that He sends to this earth, He tells us that He is alive. And from reading the messages, the Scriptures are alive in our hearts.
9. R. And the Apostles slept and then they locked themselves in the upper room.
10. Hail Mary
Song between decades: A Song from Jesus
The Descent of the Holy Spirit
1. R. And there was a gigantic wind and there appeared over their heads parted tongues of fire. The Apostles were in the upper room with the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit came upon them and they were filled with the fire of God’s love. And they went out into this world to preach the good news.
2. R. And so Mary says, “The time is nigh for I appeared and I appeared and I appeared and they ignored me.” Mary appeared at Fatima and she told them 80 years ago that they must give their heart to her. And they did not listen and He gave them great proof. The sun almost came crashing to the earth (or so it seemed) and they still did not listen. And there was World War II. And she appeared and she appeared and she appeared and we do not listen. But she did say at Fatima that there will be this great era in which the Sacred Heart of Jesus will Reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph. So we know that we’re going to go from wherever we are, at this present moment, into this era when everybody is going to live in the Father’s will, when everyone is going to be loving and good. So we have to go from where we are to this place in which the Sacred Heart of Jesus will Reign. He sends the gifts to tell us what to do. He sends the warnings. He tells us. Mary told us at Fatima what we had to do. She told us if we didn’t do it we would suffer the war. We ignored her. Eighty years later Jesus sends these messages to tell us what we must do. Mary appeared and appeared and appeared to so many visionaries at Medjugorje for 10 years and then look at the town around there. Mary appeared. She appeared here. She appeared at Cold Springs. She appeared at Falmouth. She appeared to me every day and I spoke and I spoke and I spoke and their response to me was, “Are you going to keep listening to Mary when everybody else is ignoring you?”
3. R. It is like the apostles. They slept. Peter denied Christ. He went away. He was in his human mind thinking about the things of the earth. He was not thinking of the things as coming from God, even though he walked with God and Jesus was his teacher. We get too caught up in our human mind and we do not look at things from God’s perspective. This is the truth that this is God’s world, that the Father is with us at this very second, that the Holy Spirit is here, that Jesus is in the tabernacle, truly present, no less present than the day that He walked on the earth, that the Father has the plan, God is the I AM, without a beginning, without an end. God is Supreme, Almighty. We see where we are in our little seat, looking at our little rosary, thinking about what we are going to have for dinner and we are rooted in this moment in time. But He is telling us that we must see beyond, that we must listen to the warnings that He is giving to us, that no longer can He be ignored, and He is calling each one of us. He has brought us to a great level in holiness. Each one of you here are people that are very close to Him and He is forming our hearts to be the apostle of light to go into the darkness.
4. R. The same Peter that denied Jesus was made head of the Church. These apostles were people like us, people that were kind of a motley crew, coming together. But the Holy Spirit descended upon them and they were filled with fearlessness because they were in one mind and one heart with the Almighty God. They were thinking in their human minds in the room after Jesus ascended into heaven. They had locked themselves in the upper room. Then Holy Spirit descended upon them and the Blessed Mother and they were fearless. And so I would like to read to you from one of the readings of last week.
Reference: Acts 5: 17-26
R. And the apostles they were locked up but they got out of prison singing. These were the same men that were afraid, the same men that slept, the same men that ran and hid and locked themselves in the room. But when the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were the Apostles that would do all the work that the Father intended them to do, to help them in the work of building up the Church.
5. R. How is your shade? Is it down or is it up? For He gives to us His light. We go to Mary's Immaculate Heart. We must spend this time alone with Jesus every day or we get caught up in this world and we keep our focus on the world. When the world feels good, then there’s something wrong with our spirituality, for our hearts were made for God and for Him alone, for His love. We need to spread the Consecration to the Two Hearts as Mary said at Fatima. We need to heed Fr. Carter's message July 31, 1994.
July 31, 1994
Words of Jesus to Members of Shepherds of Christ Associates:
"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.
"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.
"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. 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."
- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)
6. R. And on Thursday it said
Reference: Acts 5: 27-33
7. R. And so they hung our beloved Savior on a tree, but the stone was rolled back and our Lord rose victorious on the third day. These men were locked in prison and an angel left them out. We are too bolted to the earth. Our minds are too focused on so many incidental things and we lose sight of the Almighty God. I beg you to read the messages in the Apostles Manual for it makes me shudder. I started receiving these messages in 1991 but Mary started to appear in 1994. The intensity was so high already in March of 1994 that God was displeased because they had ignored the messages. I am the messenger, but I cannot sleep at night if I do not deliver the message, for my peace is in doing what He is asking me to do.
8. Hail Mary
9. R. Who is our God? Is it man or is it God? Look at this earth. He is calling you as the apostles. How can we ignore our Heavenly Mother 80 years later? Doesn’t it send a shudder inside of you to think that the Father sends the Blessed Mother here, tells us what we must do, that there was World War II - where over 60,000,000 were killed — A World At War — such destruction and devastation - that He has the sun almost come crashing down on the people at Fatima or so it looked and they do not listen and they don’t think that 80 years later that He is warning us at Clearwater.
10. R. And so they said to me, “Are you going to keep listening to Mary when we’re ignoring you?”
Message before the Glory Be:
R. When God speaks, the words that I hear are nothing compared to the penetration in my being. The way that He gives me the message is so intense. The words are little things that come out on the paper and out of my mouth. But inside to hear the Father speak as He spoke in those 2 messages, January 11, 1997 and January 18, 1997, and to know God is warning us, was far greater than anything on that paper. You must look at the messages given with an open heart and an open mind as coming from God and as responding to help me spread these prayer chapters and messages in God's Blue Book for the sake of souls, to help to spread the love of God. We must do as God is saying. Why are we not doing what Mary said at Fatima?
Song between decades: Our Lady of Fatima
R. What is so interesting is that Mary appeared all that time as Our Lady of Light to lead us to her heart, the spiritual womb, and on March the 20th, 1997 she appeared as Our Lady of Fatima.
The Assumption
1. Hail Mary
2. R. And so Mary speaks on December the 19th, 1996, 2 days after she appeared - on the building in Florida she said:
December 19, 1996
Mary: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.
I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.
I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book. end of excerpt
R. And then I got a very strong message from Jesus and from Mary and she spoke in this message (December 19, 1996) and she said, "Oh, my children, my little children of light, the time is nigh and many will be lost forever. I appeared and warned and told all to mind their ways and come to the Heart of my Son and they said "No, my Lady, not for you or any mother. We are children of darkness and that we remain, for we seek our pleasure by day and feast on sin all night and when you called, mother, we laughed at your Son and ignored Him and His ways." And He called and His call fell on deaf ears.
Please, my children of light, come to my heart now for although you walked next to the children of darkness. I smite the dragon that whirled around you and protected you in my heart and you will now feast on the glories of His Kingdom, my little children of light."
3. R. On December 17, 1996 Mary appeared in Clearwater and this book (Red Rosary Book) left the printer.
shipped from the printers
December 17, 1996
Mary appeared
December 17, 1996R. And the messages that He gave on the 19th and the 22nd of December 1996, both referred to the moon turning to blood. For this is what will happen. We are a people walking in darkness and He is allowing us to go further and further and further down into this darkness. And then the time will come and there will be whatever it takes in order to turn us into children of light. And in this new era we will see with the light of 7 suns that will blind us and we will fall to the earth for we will know God and we will be so happy in our hearts. For now, we are walking in darkness. We do not know God as we should. If we did, we would all be down on our face in this very room. For Jesus, Lord Jesus is in this room, truly present in the Eucharist. Jesus calls out, “Please I came, I came. I want to be loved.” And we treat Him many times as a dead object.
4. R. And this is what Jesus said in the first strong message (December 19, 1996) that I received in the Apostles Manual pp. 204-205 (also Blue Book 13 pp. 275-276).
"You will know a great time of trial and darkness. I have written to you of the great sufferings to come. The sinfulness of this world greatly displeases Me. I beg you to pray for forgiveness and turn your hearts to love.
And darkness covered the earth and the light was cast in little corners of the earth. Those who were willful remained in intense darkness, those who were rooted in God, and giving themselves to consecration, were the children of the light.
And the light shown in the darkness and the darkness grasped it not, but to as many as responded, they became the children of the light and from them His life flowed into the hearts that were cold and dark and slowly, very slowly, the light began to steal across the darkened sky and the moon was covered with blood. The blood was the blood of the Lamb. The blood represented the blood He shed to give us life. But the blind just saw ordinary blood and were scared to death. They responded with the greatest fright and lacked peace, but those rooted in God, those whose hearts were consecrated to Mary and Jesus, knew the sign was from God–that the time of reckoning was at hand. Many were punished and suffered a great chastisement. Many were left to death, but the children of light prayed the rosary and trusted in God.
And the night was no more for the light of day came stealing across the sky and myriads of angels filled the sky and the heavens. Sing Alleluia, Praise the Lord, you saints and angels, show yourselves to the survivors for they walked in darkness and could not see, but the light was alive in their hearts and they dwelt within the furnace of His Heart.
Have no fear now, My people, for you are the children of the light and My hand is forever upon you. You may suffer now a little, but it is nothing compared to the splendor to come."
5. Jesus: And so the plan of the Father is unfolding in your life, My beloved ones. Do you see, do you see the windows in this chapel? From the Annunciation to the Assumption how the plan of the Father unfolded in the life of My Mother. You have been called and you have been chosen My apostles and My plan is unfolding in your life. You must not turn away for there will be that day when you will be taken into heaven, if you love and serve Me! My beloved ones, I will wrap you in My Divine embrace and you will know joy beyond all joys, love beyond all love, light beyond all lights. You will know and love the Almighty God. You were created for this, but you must withstand this trial. You must be a child of light. You must obey the Father and obey your Mother. You must live according to the commandments and you must carry the Good News out to those that are suffering and in pain.
6. R. In the Father’s messages there is so much reference to obedience. For the tone of the way the Father talks is different than the tone of how Jesus talks and different than how Mary talks. "...Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."
7. R. And so the Lady of Light appeared. She appeared in the most brilliant light on March the 20th of this year and she would keep going into Our Lady of Fatima. I know that when Our Lady said on December the 19th, 1996 that “the time is nigh” that it was important that we follow what she is saying.
Mary: Oh, my children, my little children of light, the time is nigh and many will be lost forever. I appeared and warned and told all to mind their ways and come to the Heart of my Son and they said "No, my Lady, not for you or any mother. We are children of darkness and that we remain, for we seek our pleasure by day and feast on sin all night and when you called, mother, we laughed at your Son and ignored Him and His ways." And He called and His call fell on deaf ears.
Please, my children of light, come to my heart now for although you walked next to the children of darkness. I smite the dragon that whirled around you and protected you in my heart and you will now feast on the glories of His Kingdom, my little children of light.
8. R. Mary spoke, she appeared and no one listened, or few listened, or some listened, whatever it is. The response was not there according to what heaven expected when they gave such a great gift, the apparitions of the Blessed Mother. Jesus has given to us all these letters and they have been blocked tremendously. Over and over again this whole story is a story of how the messages have been blocked when Jesus wanted them out. The Father gave me a message in January, 1997 after Mary appeared at Clearwater and He said, “You disobey Mary. You disobey Jesus. Now are you going to disobey Me?”
9. Hail Mary
10. Revelation 12:1-2
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 labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.
Message before the Glory Be:
R. Mary Immaculate; Mary, the pure one; Mary, the model that God gave to us; the New Eve; the Mother of Jesus and of us. And it is through Mary’s heart that we are taken into the deepest intimacy with God. She appeared Our Lady of Light for 14 months to give this message: we must go to her heart so that we are brought forth children of light. Mary and Jesus' messages are in this book.
Song between decades: Immaculate Mary
The Coronation
1. R. The Father gives to us this message. (Apostles Manual p. 48 and Blue Book 14 pp. 72-73) January 18, 1997
"I am the Father. My plan is unfolding through you, My beloved priest, Fr. Carter, and Rita and the core group in the Shepherds of Christ Movement.
I tell you all to read the accounts concerning Noah. Nowhere in history has God been offended as He is this day by this sinful world. You will suffer a fate for the offenses against God.
Mary appeared at Fatima to warn you, the sinful children, how they were offending God, but you did not listen. The war did not change the hearts of many evil men.
I warn you through My beloved daughter, Mary. You did not heed her warnings. Disobedience against the Mother I gave you displeases Me greatly. Mary is the Mother of all children. Mary is a gift from Me, but you are willful and abuse the gift I send you.
You do not make reparation to her Immaculate Heart; you continue to offend her. I will not tolerate the deeds of evil men any longer."
2. R. Mary is a great gift that God gave to us. Jesus, tells us from the cross, He tells us that this is our Mother. But Mary appeared at Fatima and all these other times when God sends great gifts to the earth, when He gives warnings, they are to be heeded. We are disobedient children. We do not pay attention to what our Mother has told us at Fatima. Do we think that the Father is going to go away? When He sends the Queen of Heaven and Earth to the earth and gives us these great gifts to warn us, to tell us what we must do and we disobey her, do we think that He would be pleased?
3. R. Think of two Kingdoms. One in which Christ is the head and one which is headed by Lucifer. Lucifer wants souls for him and Jesus wants souls for Him. There is a spiritual battle that is going on all the time. We do not see so we do not think about this battle. But this is what is happening here over and over and over again, since I received these messages from Mary, from Jesus and from the Father, they are blocked over and over and over again. But it is a spiritual battle. There is a kingdom and Lucifer is the head of one and God, the other. And Lucifer wants all the souls he can get and take them to hell with him. We don’t see these things going on but we know what we experience in our own life, the trouble that we have especially since we have joined Shepherds of Christ. We are taunted by satan for he wants us stopped. The only way you can do what Mary is calling us to do is to spend that hour with Jesus every day because the devil makes confusion and all kinds of distractions in our life to lead us away from what He is telling us to do. And it’s in that hour that we keep our focus on Him.
4. R. It is a spiritual battle that we experience that is trying to stop us over and over and over again. Since the end of December I have been told about how the 13th would be major and how satan would majorly try to stop it. But this is the thing that I want to say: we do not see the devil at work. Satan is devious. He causes confusion, division, and anger. We must go to God for it is a spiritual battle. It has been the evil one that has blocked the Fatima mission for 80 years, working hard. But it is in our prayers that it will make the difference. Mary is the Queen of Peace — we can't ignore her.
5. Jesus: And there will be a new earth, My sweet and beloved ones. There will be a time of great intimacy and love as never before as never before on this earth. You are My leaders that I am sending into this world. You will be taunted. You will be pressed on. You will fight this spiritual battle. But you must pray. Your weapons are the rosary and your prayers. Your weapons are the sacraments. Your weapons are your prayers I give you in the Prayer Manual. Give Me yourself. Give Me your heart. I am Jesus. I am longing for you to come to Me this very day for as I speak there are many who are holding back. There will be no one standing in line behind you. You are the leader. You will lead. I have called special people to this room this day. I knew that you would respond. I gave you the grace to come here and I am giving you the grace at this moment to give your heart to Me. But many are holding back. There is a soul at the edge of death at this moment. You will help the souls go to heaven.
6. R. You may say: I did not know that my daughter would have an accident. I did not know that at that moment her soul would be on the edge of death. It was the prayers, the prayers that had turned her life around, the fact that she had joined the Shepherds of Christ and consecrated her heart, her heart to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. It was the prayers for the young ones, the ones that changed their hearts to hearts of love through the consecration when the prayer cards were circulated in the schools and they were being taught so many vile things. It was the consecration cards that helped the child to turn their heart to Jesus and Mary, and Jesus and Mary turned that heart to a heart of love. So you feel battered, you feel worn out. You think that no one is listening. But it is one school that you get the consecration to that can change 500 children’s hearts forever. For once they give their heart to Mary and Jesus, Mary and Jesus take it over. There are so many souls that are going to hell. For the last 9 of the 14 months that the Queen of Heaven and Earth appeared to me, she cried out for her little lost children, especially the young ones that were being lost. And she says, “I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried. I cried for my little children.”
7. Hail Mary
8. Hail Mary9. R. And so this is a message from Our Lady of Light, from the Queen of Heaven and Earth. Jesus told me to read this to you.
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996
Mary: "I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light."
R. And we ignore these messages and ignore them. And we analyze the words and we worry but the message does not get out because satan is blocking the message. As long as he continues to block the messages of Our Lady, of our precious Jesus and the Father, we will continue to suffer. For the messages are given as teachings to draw us closer to Him. The messages are given as warnings for this earth. The world willfully does what it wants in many cases. The Father has warned us. And the focus is on me many times because I deliver the message. It is with great pain and suffering, many times, that I deliver the message for it is more than what is on the paper. The intensity is in my being as He gives the message to me and my only peace is in doing as He asked. It doesn’t matter that they said to me, “But why are you listening to Mary when we are ignoring you?” “It doesn’t matter to me what people say. God is talking. All I want to do is deliver the message.” And it is a very difficult job many times for the focus is, many times, on everything but the message because satan blocks the message. He does not want the message out.
10. Hail Mary
R. Mary is the Queen of Heaven and Earth and she speaks over and over again. And the Father gives to us the great gifts when He sends His Mother and Jesus opens up His Heart raw and reveals the most intimate secrets of His Heart. And the Father speaks,
“You have ignored My Mother and you Have ignored My Son. But will you ignore Me? If I send to you great gifts and you do not pay any heed, what do I do but to send you sufferings? For you must take notice. You are offending God. And the Reign of the Sacred Heart will come about disregarding all the willfulness of everyone involved for God is in charge.”
Let us lift our minds and our hearts up to Him. Let us let go of those things that are keeping us bolted to the ground. Let us spend that hour of intimacy with Him every day, that in that hour He can sift out the negative and the positive messages in our minds, that we will know what God is telling us to do, for He is speaking in our hearts.
