                Jesus: My Movement has been given to
                spread the Priestly Writing and
                begin prayer chapters –
                My Movement is to do what I
                have asked for – to lead people
                to love and to holiness, to
                lead people to union with
                each other praying for the priests,
                the Church and the world.

                    My Mother appeared begging
                you to spread the rosary and
                consecration and Morning Offering
                to school children.

                    My Mother appeared over and
                over again and then God the
                Father put Mary's image on
                the building in Clearwater
                for 7 1/2 years and you
                destroyed her image face –

                    Mary is the perfect handmaid of
                the Lord – So I called servants and
                handmaids to be holy, like Mary,
                My perfect disciple and in love
                to say "yes" to the Father's Plan
                to spread the Priestly Writing –
                the prayer chapters, the rosary,
                the consecration – to be children
                of light – My little servants
                of love – of having the burning
                love of My Heart and the pure
                love of Mary's heart to serve
                the priests, the Church and the
                world.
 

                Jesus: I beg you to pray the prayers I have
                given you in unity with deep love
                with each other to serve God as
                a family of servants and
                handmaids bringing in new
                recruits, new apostles, new
                associates, new Apostles of the
                Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, praying
                for the priests, the Church and the world.
                This is the Movement My Father
                gave to this earth to help
                bring down saving grace for this election –
                for people praying in union with
                you, obedient to God's will,
                in love with one another –
                with eager hearts full of fervor
                and love for their brothers –

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.   . . .
   

end of excerpt of The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius

                Jesus: This Movement is a big gift I
                have entrusted to you from your
                heavenly Father – to bring the
                love of My Sacred Heart to the world.

                    Mary asked for conversion
                at Fatima, Mary asked for
                devotion to Our Two Hearts –
                a person serving in the Shepherds of Christ
                is full of love to serve the
                wishes of the Lady of Fatima
                who has appeared 22 years to
                you with the message of the Two Hearts
                and Fatima –

                Jesus: At Fatima they jailed the children.
                The devil wants to take out the
                Priestly Mailing, prayer chapters,
                the prayers, the spreading of
                My love letters – the messages
                of the Mass, the books of
                Fr. Carter.

                    The devil wants souls for hell. The
                more a person gives into disobedience
                and darkness the more his life is
                just that, dark and he blames
                everybody else for his darkness –
                his world is a world of darkness –
                he wants to operate in hearts
                that give into him – making
                right → wrong and wrong → right.
                Satan is a liar. A person more
                and more living in pride gives
                into his pride in lies and self-will
                to go deeper and deeper into darkness.

                    He then is so jealous of others
                and envious of those doing good –
                he is driven by negative energy
                satan gives them to bring the
                faithful man down and down.
                Negative energy is supplied by
                satan to get angrier and
                angrier, to lie, to cheat, to
                have power over others, and
                the person being driven given
                into satan, is fired to tear
                apart and divide – to destroy
                unity and to say "no" to God
                with their free will and
                say "yes" to satan –

                In a person giving into satan
                and not repenting or lying to
                themselves about their sins –
                they fail to be accountable for
                their actions and responsible
                for the damage they do trying
                to bring down the house with
                division and darkness. They are
                miserable disobeying God – they
                drive themselves with their
                free will further and further from
                love and giving and in their
                misery they can even get
                sadistical pleasure watching
                others suffer with their power
                over them – to watch them squirm.

                    Satan wants souls for hell –
                He wants to bring down the house –
                he wants to stop love and fire
                it up with hate – he doesn't
                run out of energy to test
                and tear down and divide and
                a person of pride and anger,
                jealousy and envy, that refuses
                accountability for actions and
                responsibility for sinning against
                God and others –
                    can be so deceived they can
                become impudent that people
                do not accept their sins and
                fall to their knees under them.

                    Satan is hate –

                    Satan hates anyone praying
                and spreading the Good News –
                Satan works on a willing person
                in pride – who seeks power
                over authority – power over
                Me – power – power – power –

                    The evil in men's hearts who
                refuse accountability and
                responsibility grows as satan
                becomes the Master they give
                into.

                Their wills become diseased,
                their right reasoning is very
                distorted and their indigence
                to spread their darkness
                shows the extent they will
                go to – to rule in darkness –

                Response in Christ –

                    A man of love grows in the
                light – They bring down fruit
                for the Kingdom.

                    In Blue Book 17 I gave the message
                Seedless, Barren, No Fruit
                on the Vine –

                    A man of holiness bears
                fruit for the Kingdom of God. The
                truth is in him. He knows his
                place under authority and
                under God – A light is
                seen in him –

                    The darkness of satan can
                be seen in the face and bodily
                movements as a man shows
                his disrespect of those praying
                in Church –
                    disrespect for just authority is
                the way satan uses to try
                to control and take down
                the house –

                    He attacks structure
                and discredits just authority –
                he wants to weaken the house
                and he goes for the jugular vein –
                Satan will stop at nothing to
                tear down and try to usurp
                power to take down those
                trying to bring good to men.
                Satan will stop at nothing –
                He has nothing to lose –
                And the person giving into
                him – in pride – refuses
                accountability and responsibility
                for their actions –
                further their hearts become
                harder and harder and full
                of hate as they allow satan to
                be in them operating more
                and more like he does –
                tearing down the house –
                division – never unity –
                hate – not love –
                lies –
                hurting others and offending Me

                Satan comes and with negative
                    energy and more devils
                    reaches to the man to
                    give into him and do
                    his dirty work –

                Doing dirty work – is the work of satan –
                lying after sinning and playing
                the victim is the deception
                that satan uses –
                I am love

                Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

                Chapter 10 - Christian Love (excerpt)

         3. Love of Man

"My dear people, let us love one another since love comes from God and everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God. Anyone who fails to love can never have known God, because God is love.  . . . Anyone who says, 'I love God', and hates his brother, is a liar, since a man who does not love the brother that he can see cannot love God, whom he has never seen. So this is the commandment that he has given us, that anyone who loves God must also love his brother." (1 Jn 4:7-21).

    Our God is a God who knows and loves. This divine knowing and loving exists not only among the divine persons themselves. Father, Son and Holy Spirit also go out in knowledge and love to man and the rest of creation. Consequently, since our life in Christ is a share in God's life, we are called to love not only God, but also man and the rest of creation. The Christian has structured within his life of grace this deep desire – sometimes very latent – to give himself to his fellowman in various forms of love. If this desire is not thwarted, it can truly help change the face of the earth.

    What are some of the characteristics of our love for others? First of all, our love of neighbor should exclude no one. It should embrace every single person the world over. As Christ's love for man was universal, so must ours be. And as Christ truly achieved good for men in His love for them, so must we. In other words, in our universal love for men we must be willing to act to help promote their good. We can at least do this in our prayer for their various material and spiritual needs. This constitutes no slight contribution of love, for prayer is one of the great means of channeling God's gifts to the world.

    Secondly, our love for man must take the form of a life service in one form or other. Christ came to serve. He was fully the man for others. Can our lives be orientated in any other direction? Through our lives of loving service we make our contribution to God's creative and redemptive effort. God's love brought about creation and redemption. Our love united to His continues the process. Man and his universe are making their way back to the Father in Christ through the dynamism of love. It is interesting to note that this fact is at the heart of Teilhard de Chardin's cosmic evolutionary process in Christ.³ Teilhard, in contemporary thought patterns, is enunciating a traditional Christian truth.

    Whatever the service is that we offer – as engineer, as doctor, as priest, as teacher, as mother, as nurse – it must be permeated with love. If it is not, it does not achieve its full effect in promoting God's creative and redemptive efforts. 

    At times it is only the motive of love which will keep a person faithful to his particular form of loving service. What but a deep love for her children supports a woman who has been deserted by her husband? What but a deep love of God and man can make a young man give up his family, the prospect of marriage, his homeland – all so that he may become a missionary priest? What but a deep love for the underprivileged can support an inner city worker amidst the squalor, the disease, the bitterness, the hopelessness which he meets daily? No, redemption cannot be continued without love – God's love or ours.

    There is a final point concerning our service of love. We serve not only as individuals. At times we will be able to make our greatest contribution as a member of a group. This is an application of the communal dimension of Christianity. This common service could be as a member of a parish or civic organization, as a member of a religious order or a secular institute. There are numerous possibilities. One important thing members of such groups must realize: it takes love, sometimes great love, to remain properly selfless in group activity. There is no room in such group enterprises for the person who is always mistakenly looking for the wrong type of self-fulfillment at the expense of the particular organization. He who seeks his life shall lose it, and he who loses his life shall find it.

    There is a third characteristic which must accompany our love for others. We must be willing to love without receiving love in return. This is a hard lesson for us to learn, but a most necessary one. Our Christian love is a participation in the love of Christ. And what is one outstanding feature of Christ's love? He has first loved man, and He has not always been loved in return. Yet Christ continues to love. In our love for others we also must be willing to take the initiative. God in His providence wants us to receive love from others also. But if this love seems to be lacking at times, or only faintly manifest, then God can supply for the lack. The important thing is that we ourselves keep on trying to love. 

    There is another characteristic of our love for man which pertains to those whom we directly encounter. Our love for these persons must manifest an appropriate human warmth. We are supposed to love God and man with our entire being. This means, in part, that our love is emotional. This is the way Christ as man loved, with His entire human nature. In the proper sense, Christ was a deeply emotional man. He wept in love over Jerusalem, and He wept in love at the tomb of Lazarus. We know also that the children loved to flock to Christ. He must have been a warm personality, for children shy away from those who are cold and austere. Our love, like that of Christ, must also be properly influenced by the emotions. Otherwise it is not a fully human love, and, therefore, not a fully Christian love. 

    In regard to our direct encounter with others, it is necessary that we be cognizant of another very important point. To a considerable extent, these persons experience God's love for them through ourselves and others like us. This is an application of the law of incarnation. God has loved man through the tangible, visible humanity of Christ. Christ no longer walks this earth, but the same principle holds true. We Christians are extensions of the heavenly Christ. In union with Christ we help in continuing the tangible, visible presence of God's love in this world. Through the love of our visible, concrete persons we continue incarnational love. In loving those whom I directly encounter in this manner – and let us remember I can love a person with a basic Christian love without "liking" things about him – I help to give them the courage to be and to become. Love received is a powerful force in developing the goodness in a person. Truly, when I love a person I help that person become what God destines him to be.

    Furthermore, we in part show our love for others by allowing them to love us. A person grows by loving. In receiving love from others, therefore, we are loving them by giving them this opportunity to grow. We ourselves need this love which others give us. We are not self-sufficient beings; we are social beings who need others in so many different ways in going to the Father in Christ. We have to learn to open ourselves up to others and allow ourselves to be loved by them. At times in our pride we shrink away from this truth: that we need others – a need, of course, which must be always regulated by God's will. But we must resist these moments of pride that tell us we are self-sufficient. Remember, no man is an island.

 
         4. Love of Friendship

 
        a) The Nature of Friendship

    ...What is friendship, especially in the stricter sense of the word? It is a mutual self-giving in love. By the mutual gift of one another, friends desire to promote the good of one another. Although I-thou encounters are not limited to friendship, what M. Nédoncelle says concerning these relationships certainly can be applied here: ". . . love is a will to promotion. The I that loves is willing above all the existence of the thou. . ."⁴

    As with all forms of true love, the love for a friend above all desires the total good of that friend. In my love for a friend I desire that this person become everything that he or she can become. But in my love for a friend I not only desire his total development. In the love of friendship I also give myself in a very direct, personal and intimate way to help achieve this growth.
