Messenger:         To be one.

                            The Church is the Body of Christ.

                            The Trinity is the most perfect
                                community
                            3 Persons, one God all
                                perfection and love

                            The priest said if we could be united
                                we, the smallest community
                                could do so much good.
                                Look at the Apostles and the
                                    work they did.

                            Mary, Mother of the Church, spiritual
                                mother was with these Apostles
                                as the Church spread.

                            We are one, holy, Catholic and apostolic
                                the Catholic Church.

                            The Church is the Body of Christ.

                            Operating in greater perfection and
                                oneness as the Spouse of
                                Christ we can have such
                                an impact on the world as
                                Christ operates in His
                                Church bringing peace and
                                love to this world.

                                Because we are the tainted children
                            of Eve we operate with imperfections

7 Capital Sins
    Pride, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth

                                With the pure motive as St. Ignatius
                            talks about with the 3 classes
                            of men, we can do all things
                            as God intends for the honor and
                            glory of God, serving God in
                            love, doing God's will.

                                This is how the community
                            can operate to greater perfection
                            most likened to Christ.

                                The devil is division he wants
                            to tear up communities, marriages
                            etc.

                                Heaven is living in that fullness
                            of life, wrapped in the embrace
                            of God's love, experiencing the
                            beatific vision.

                                If we ponder the community,
                            the Trinity, we can model our
                            communities on such perfect
                            love!!

  

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Father Edward Carter, S.J. pp. 1-2

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

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

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

    The Christian life, then, is rooted in the great event of the Incarnation. We must, consequently, always focus our gaze upon Christ, realizing that everything the Father wishes to tell us has been summed up in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.

  

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Father Edward Carter, S.J., pp. 67-68

The millions and millions of people the world over make up what might be called the world community. The members of this cosmic community are supposed to live in a basic love for one another, united in bonds of mutual support and interdependence. This is true because God has created persons as social beings. We are not intended to cut an isolated path through life. We are meant to walk hand in hand with each other, to live within a societal structure, to help others in many different ways. What is more, we must also realize that, in achieving our destiny, we receive much aid, support, and love from others. There are all too many striking examples of how the modern world has failed to live community—more than enough to make us agonize over man's inhumanity toward his fellow human beings. But there are also many beautiful and ongoing examples of how the world has succeeded in living community—enough to strengthen our belief in the basic goodness of the human heart.

Messenger:             What is our gaze in living out the mystery
                            of Christ and living with Jesus, the
                            New Adam and Mary the New Eve as our
                            model.

                                Our Lady of Fatima told us on July 13,
                            1917 we must pray the rosary

                                In meditating on the mysteries of
                            Christ's life and Mary's life their love
                            Jesus, the Divine God and Mary, the
                            most highest human person we see
                            love between God and man (Mary a
                            human person) and model our love
                            relationships on this

                                Mary the spiritual mother, Mother
                            of the Church

                                Our focus in becoming as Christ
                            intends

                            We note Genesis 1: 27

God created man in the image of himself, 
    in the image of God he created him, 
    male and female he created them.  
Genesis 1: 27

                            We see the sin of Adam and Eve in the
                                beginning of the Bible because
                                of greed and pride a sin against
                                God and fellow men that follow and we
                                see at the end of the Bible
                                Revelation 21

   

Revelation 21: 1-8

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'

Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."' Then he said to me, 'It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.'

   

January 24, 2006 message continues

Messenger:         The Church, the world and the individual
                                Christian is in the state of becoming.

                            Christ comes, the redeemer, the Savior
                                of the world, the New Adam

                            As Fr. Carter says in the Spirituality Handbook 

Into such a depraved condition Jesus entered, with a full and generous Heart, to lead the human race from the depths of sinfulness to the vibrant richness of a new life in Himself. Through His enfleshment, this Christ became the focal point of all history. The authentic hopes and dreams of the human family, now so overshadowed by the ugliness of sin, came converging upon this Christ. He would gather them up in Himself, give them a new luster and brilliance and dynamism, and would lead the human family back to the Father in the Holy Spirit.

Christ was radically to release us from the dominion of sin and elevate us to a new level of existence.

Excerpt from the Spirituality Handbook  p. 7

 

January 24, 2006 message continues

Messenger:             The rosary, Mary says at Fatima
                            must be said every day as we
                            meditate on the mysteries of Jesus and
                            Mary's life The New Adam, the
                            New Eve.

                                Christ is God
                                    He is the all perfect God the New Adam
                                Mary, the most highest of God created persons
                                    — the New Eve

                            Meditating on these mysteries
                                we see perfection in their
                                pure ways of loving each other
                                and others

                            We see the love of the Persons
                                of the Trinity as Christ
                                reveals to us the love of the
                                Father in the Spirit.

                                God outpours His insight into the
                                Divine Mystery of Christ
                                His life here the Divine
                                God Incarnate in the womb
                                of the "Woman" Mary our
                                sinless Mother

                            We can ponder from the Litany forever
                                her title "Spiritual Vessel"
                                            Singular Vessel of devotion

                            Mary the gate (way) of union with God
                                for sinful man our spiritual
                                mother

                                She having the most perfect
                                union with Father, Son and
                                Holy Spirit

                            The Litany to the Blessed Mother
                                honoring her for the 5 Blasphemies
                                committed against her
                                which is why we have
                                5 first Saturday's
                                and 5ths when Mary appeared

   

From the Mass Book  p. 168

1. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception.
2. Blasphemies against Her Perpetual Virginity.
3. Blasphemies against Her Divine Maternity, in refusing at the same time to recognize Her as the Mother of men.
4. The blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children indifference or scorn, or even hatred of this Immaculate Mother.
5. The offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images.46

46. Frere Michael de la Trinité, The Whole Truth About Fatima, Vol. II, Appendix III.

 

January 24, 2006 message continues

Messenger:         The consecration Mary talks of at
                                Fatima to the Hearts of
                                Jesus and Mary and
                                the rosary are

                            Vital components for the banished
                                children of Eve.

                            In this the children of Adam and Eve
                                live more according to God's
                                will and find greater insight
                                into life in God through
                                meditation of the mysteries
                                of the rosary

                            Christ the First Fruits

   

1 Corinthians 15: 20-28

    In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first–fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first–fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.
