Excerpt from Tell My People
Age of the Two Hearts
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, I have
allowed you to experience in extraordinary fashion the riches contained in My
Heart and My Mother's Heart. I desire that you tell all My people about these
riches. I desire that My people consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and
to Mary's Immaculate Heart. My people are living in the beginnings of the age
of the Two Hearts.
"After the time of the purification is completed, this
new era of the Church and the world will become firmly established. This era
will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of
My Sacred Heart. All those who consecrate themselves to My Heart and to My
Mother's Heart will help to establish this glorious new age. I am Lord and
Master. Please listen to My urgent request. Within Our Hearts you will
experience the love and security, the peace and the joy, which you all desire.
I love My people with a tremendous love, and in My love I give them this
message!"

"What I say to you in the dark, tell in the day-
light; what you hear in whispers, proclaim
from the housetops." (Matthew 10:27)
Jesus Has Come to Give Us Life
Jesus: "This is the day celebrating My
Resurrection (Easter). The day of newness of life. I am Lord and Master. I am
the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Tell My people to come to Me if they wish to
experience life in abundance. I want to give all an ever greater share in the
life of My Resurrection. Without Me you cannot be happy, nor have peace, nor
have real joy. Tell My people to surrender to Me more and more. The more they
do so, the more they will experience My love, wisdom, power, peace, joy,
happiness, mercy, and goodness. Within My Heart My people will find these
riches. I am Lord and Master! Please listen to My words."
Call of the Sacred Heart
Jesus: "Tell My People that I wish them to come
to My Sacred Heart. I show My Heart as symbol of My great love for My people.
So many, however, are cold and indifferent concerning My love for them.
Consider all I have done for My people! I suffered a brutal passion and death
for them. My Body was unmercifully scourged, My head cruelly crowned with
thorns, My hands and feet mercilessly pierced with nails. Oh, how much I
suffered in all this--out of love for My Father and the whole human race!
Finally, My Heart was pierced with the soldier's lance. From My pierced Heart
flowed forth blood and water, symbols of the Eucharist and Baptism. How much
My pierced Heart still loves My people! How I long for each to come to My
Heart in a return of love! All who do will experience My love in a special
way. All who take up their refuge within My Heart will experience love,
security, peace, joy. The world cannot give My people these gifts. I, Who am
Lord and Master, am the One Who gives these gifts."
Trust in Jesus
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, tell My
people to trust Me unreservedly. I am Lord and Master. I am their God. So many
fail to trust Me as they should. I love all My people much, much more than
they love themselves. This great love of Mine should encourage the greatest
trust. The more you realize how much a friend loves you, the more you place
your trust in the friend. I am your perfect Friend! I love you infinitely more
than your best earthly friend. Tell My people to give Me their trust. Tell
them to say often, 'Sacred Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You.' I am Lord
and Master. Please do as I request."
Mary Our Mother
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people to
come to My Mother. From the cross, as I was suffering indescribable agony, I
gave Mary as spiritual Mother to the world. My great love for My people
prompted Me to do this. I am Lord and Master, and I want My people to come to
My Mother and their Mother. If you wish to be close to Me, come to Mary.
Consecrate yourselves to her. In this way you will grow into the closest union
with Me. Through her Immaculate Heart, you will be drawn more and more into My
own Heart. It is My desire that you allow My Mother to place you within My
Heart which loves you with an unfathomable love! This is My wish--that you
come to Me enfolded by Mary's mantle, cradled in her arms, pressed against her
Heart."
Being Loved by Jesus
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, I have
given you a special experience of what it means to be loved by Me. I have
drawn you, through Mary, deeply within My Heart. There you experience a deep
peace, joy, and security--all this results from your realizing how much I love
you! Tell My people about My great love! Tell them I desire that they come to
My Heart. There they will experience the wonders that only My Heart can give.
I am Lord and Master. I desire that all listen to My words."
On Being Thankful
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, because I
love you with a very special love, I have showered you with great gifts. You
have cried out to Me in joy. You have told Me how thankful you are for My many
special favors. Allowing you to be so thankful is itself a gift I give you.
Tell My people that I want them to thank Me every day for all the gifts I have
given and continue to give them. Tell them I want them to give themselves to
Mary. In her company I want them to approach My Sacred Heart each day. Here I
will give them ever greater gifts.
"How much I love My people! How much I long to shower
them with My love-laden gifts! Sadly, many do not want to receive My gifts.
Those who do, let them come to My Heart, and they will be amazed at what I
will do for them! My Heart is an inexhaustible source of graces. Please, My
people, I long for you to come and draw from its riches! I am Lord and Master.
Please do as I request."
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!"
Prayer
Jesus: My beloved companion, tell My people about the
great importance of prayer. Prayer plays an indispensable role in the process
of sanctification and ultimate salvation. Let My little ones come to Me daily
in prayer. I especially want My people to pray before the tabernacle. When
they do so, I give them special graces. The prayer of My people should be
filled with love for Me, My Father, the Holy Spirit, and My Mother. Pressed
against their Mother's heart, and under her guidance, let My people come to My
Sacred Heart. Each day they should take up their refuge in My Heart, and there
enter into the deepest prayer. They should put all worries and anxieties aside
and pray from the heart. I take their prayer to the Father in the Holy Spirit.
My people, I want you to pray, pray, pray! During prayer I make you especially
aware of My great love for you. During prayer I ask for your return of love.
During prayer I especially allow you to experience peace and joy. The crosses
you bear are no obstacle to this. In fact, when you bear your crosses
properly--that is, according to My Father's will--you experience increased
peace and joy. My people, listen to My words. I am Lord and Master. I love you
with the most tender love!"
Images of the Hearts
of Jesus and Mary
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people that I
desire them to have pictures or statues of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate
Heart in their homes. This will greatly help them to give honor to Our Hearts.
All My churches and chapels should also have these images. I will bestow great
blessings on all those who heed My request. I am your Lord and Master. Please
do as I ask."
Age of the Two Hearts
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, I have
allowed you to experience in extraordinary fashion the riches contained in My
Heart and My Mother's Heart. I desire that you tell all My people about these
riches. I desire that My people consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and
to Mary's Immaculate Heart. My people are living in the beginnings of the age
of the Two Hearts.
"After the time of the purification is completed, this
new era of the Church and the world will become firmly established. This era
will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of
My Sacred Heart. All those who consecrate themselves to My Heart and to My
Mother's Heart will help to establish this glorious new age. I am Lord and
Master. Please listen to My urgent request. Within Our Hearts you will
experience the love and security, the peace and the joy, which you all desire.
I love My people with a tremendous love, and in My love I give them this
message!"
The Joy of Christ
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people that I
am a God of joy. I have come so that My people's joy may be complete. So many
of My people seek for joy in the wrong places. So many seek their joy and
happiness in material things. Joy can spring from material things only when
they are used according to My Father's will. Many use material things against
My Father's will. Come to My Heart, My people. Come to My Heart in union with
your Mother Mary. She will place you within My Heart, and we will teach you
the secret of joy. We will show you that joy is meant to be yours at all
times-even in the deepest suffering.
"Come to Me, My people. I am your Lord and Master! I am
all-powerful! When I say I will give you joy in abundance, I have the means to
fulfill My promise. But you must come to My Heart, and you must trust Me. I
ask for your total trust. The more you trust Me, the more you will be filled
with My joy!"
The Peace of Christ
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, tell My
beloved people that I am the Divine Giver of peace. I want so much to give My
people an even greater sense of peace, but many refuse My offer! They think
they know their own way to peace and happiness--a way which is not My way. The
further they stray from Me, the more restless they become, and the less true
peace they have. My way is the only way to peace.
"My people, come each day to My Sacred Heart. Let Mary
lead you to My Heart. The more you dwell within My Heart, the more peace will
be yours. I am Lord and Master. Please listen to My words! Do not seek your
peace and consolation in worldly pursuits. Come within My Heart, and you will
be filled with the peace you so much crave. I will press you to My Sacred
Heart. I will tell you how much I love you! The more you realize this love,
the more My peace will possess your soul!"
The Two Hearts and the Mass
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people that
they are living in the Age of the Two Hearts--that of My Heart and My Mother's
heart. My people live in the initial stages of this great era. I call all My
people to take up their refuge in My Heart and My Mother's heart. In Our
Hearts they will become more and more transformed into My likeness.
"The greatest source for growth in devotion to Our
Hearts is the Eucharist. I wish My people to attend Mass often, daily if
possible. What a great gift I have given to My people in the Eucharist! Yet
many of My people are indifferent to the treasures contained in the Mass.
Think of it! My people are privileged to offer the Sacrifice of the Mass
together with Me! And yet how many prefer to do other things rather than
attend Mass. How this attitude offends My Sacred Heart!
"I long for My people to participate in the Mass and to
receive Me worthily! Think of it! I, Who am your God, long to come to you each
day! In the Eucharist I come to you in My Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.
Present within you, I long to take you close to My Sacred Heart, this Heart
which is truly within you. The more you allow Me to do so, the more closely I
press you to this Heart. I shower you with its riches. I abundantly give you
great graces which increasingly form you in My likeness.
"I am Lord and Master! Please listen to My words. Pray,
pray for a deeper understanding of the Mass. In union with Mary, approach Me
daily in the Eucharist. I, your God, long to come to you. How much do you long
to receive Me?"
The Riches of the Immaculate Heart
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, how often I have
pressed you to my maternal and Immaculate Heart in the greatest love! How
often I allow you to taste the sweetness of this Heart. How often I make you
aware that my Heart is your refuge where you feel so much loved, where you
feel so secure, where you feel bathed in peace! I desire that you tell all the
people about the riches contained in my Immaculate Heart. Tell my people to
come to my Heart each day. I will caress them with my maternal love. I will
lead them ever closer to the Sacred Heart of my Son. I will tell them to
listen to Jesus. I will remind them that He is their Lord and Master. I will
remind them to do whatever He tells them to do.
"Yes, my dearly beloved son, tell my people all these
things. Keep reminding them of my great love for them. Keep reminding them how
I love to draw them to my maternal and Immaculate Heart!"
The Tears and Sorrows of Mary
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, I have given you a
great devotion to my sorrows and tears. Tell my people about this devotion.
Tell them I promise great blessings to all who say seven Hail Marys each day
in honor of my tears and seven sorrows. Included in my promise is that of
granting special assistance at the hour of death. At this moment, all who
practice this devotion will see my face."
Children of Mary
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, how often I have
embraced you! How often I have told you how much I love you! How often, at
your request, I have held you in my arms as my child. You have told me you
realize how helpless you are of yourself, but how strong and secure you feel
dwelling in my heart and Jesus' Heart. Your sense of your littleness and
helplessness endears you to me all the more. I take you ever more securely to
my maternal and Immaculate Heart. Tell all my people of the riches you have
found within my heart. Tell them how I place you within my Son's Heart. Tell
them that, because of my motherly action, you are now more closely united with
Jesus than ever before. Tell my people to come to my heart and draw forth
similar riches. Tell all my little ones that Jesus, Who is Lord and Master,
bids me to lead all to His Sacred Heart. The more my little ones dwell within
my Immaculate Heart, the more I place them within Jesus' Heart. Oh, how I love
all my little ones! How I love to bring them to the Heart of Jesus!"
The Eucharist
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, tell My
people how I long for them to come to Me in the Eucharist. The Eucharist is
the great Sacrament of My love for My people. So many are indifferent to My
Eucharistic presence. So many have no real desire to receive Me in the
Eucharist. So many have no desire to visit Me in the Blessed Sacrament. How I
long for My people to come before the tabernacle and to talk with Me!
"I am offended, many times seriously, by all the
outrages, sacrileges, and indifferences committed against My Eucharistic
presence. I ask My people to make reparation for all this. I especially ask
that they often say the prayer of Eucharistic reparation given by the angel to
the three Fatima visionaries.
"I am Lord and Master. Please do as I request. My
Eucharistic Heart is beating with unfathomable love for My people! Let them
come to My Sacred Heart. How I long to take My people to My Heart and shower
them with Its abundant graces! I love My people with a tremendous love, and I
give them this message with the greatest love!"
Reparation for Sin
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, tell My
people that the ugly face of sin covers the earth as never before in the
history of the human race. My image, which should shine forth brilliantly over
the whole earth, is seriously marred by the hideousness of sin. My Father's
justice demands reparation. Tell My people to offer their actions in
reparation for all the sins whereby the Triune God is so much offended. My
Heart cries out for reparation, especially for sins committed against My
Eucharistic presence. My Heart hates sin, but loves the sinner. All who are
sorry for their sins will find in My Heart overflowing graces of mercy.
"My people should receive the Sacrament of
Reconciliation often, even if they have no serious sins to confess. The graces
of this Sacrament give powerful graces for the fight against temptation. I am
Lord and Master. Please do as I request!"
Consecration to the Hearts
of Jesus and Mary
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people that I
desire all to consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and to Mary's
Immaculate Heart. Tell them not to just recite words in making the act of
consecration, but to realize what they are saying. Consecration to Our Hearts
means a total gift of self. It means handing over everything to Me and to My
Mother. Consecration means a willingness to surrender completely to Me. In
Baptism one is consecrated to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But how many fail
to live out their consecration! I extend to all the invitation to renew this
baptismal consecration through consecration to My Heart and to My Mother's
Heart.
"My beloved companion, I have taught you what this
consecration means. I have given you great peace, joy, and happiness because
you have made this consecration. I have taught you that you are to renew this
act of consecration each day, I constantly remind you that you are to pray
each day for the grace to more and more live the consecration. I have taught
you that your consecration to Me and My Mother means that you constantly
surrender yourself to Us and to Our care. I have taught you that the more you
surrender yourself to Me, the more I live in you and through you and for you.
I have taught you that My great love for you longs to draw you more deeply
into My Heart. I have shown you that I wish your Mother Mary to place you
there within My Heart, and that the more you dwell within her heart, the more
deeply she places you within My Heart. Dwelling within Our Hearts, the Holy
Spirit fashions you more and more in My likeness. The Father thus looks upon
you with greater favor and takes you more closely to Himself. Tell My people
all these wondrous truths. I am Lord and Master, and I desire all to listen to
My words!"
Mary, Model and Teacher of Love
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, I have led you to
greatly increase your prayers and sacrifices for others. I have often reminded
you of my teaching at Fatima--that many souls go to Hell because they have no
one to pray and make sacrifices for them. My Immaculate Heart longs that all
my little ones be saved. Tell my little ones that they must love their
neighbor through prayer, sacrifices, and other ways, too. All should learn
from me. My Heart is symbol, not only of my great love for God, but also of my
tender love for all my little ones. Imitate my love for God and all my
children. If you love Jesus and me, this means you also love all of God's
children. Jesus died for all. You cannot exclude anyone from your love.
"My Heart is the perfect imitator of the Heart of my
Son. I will teach you how to love the Father and all mankind after the example
of Jesus. All my little ones, I long for you to come to my Heart so I can
teach you the ways of love! I love you so much! Come to my Immaculate Heart.
Pressed against my Heart, I will hold you in my arms. I will clothe you with
my motherly and protective mantle. As I hold you close to my Heart, I will
teach you the ways of love!"
"What I say to you in the dark, tell in the day-
light; what you hear in whispers, proclaim
from the housetops." (Matthew 10:27)
The Two Hearts and Sanctity
Jesus: "My beloved priest companion, I and My
Mother have given you a consuming desire to spread devotion to Our Hearts.
Tell My people about the great riches contained in My Sacred Heart and Mary's
Immaculate Heart! Tell My people that they live in the age of the Two Hearts.
What I and My Mother said at Fatima has been gradually unfolding. The Fatima
message is centered in devotion to Our Hearts. The triumph of Mary's
Immaculate Heart, foretold at Fatima, is soon to take place. This triumph will
coincide with the era of peace for the world which My Mother foretold at
Fatima. This great new age of peace for the Church and the world will be
characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My
Sacred Heart.
"Because this is the age of the Two Hearts, the
quickest and surest way to sanctity is through devotion to My Heart and Mary's
Heart. Such devotion reaches its highest point in consecration to Our Hearts.
Within Our Hearts My people will be clothed with great graces! Their love for
God and neighbor will deepen tremendously! They will be fired with a holy and
burning desire to love God and neighbor in all their daily activities as
guided by the Holy Spirit. Dwelling within Our Hearts, My people will long to
help bring back an alienated world to conform to My Father's will.
"My friend, I and My Mother have allowed you to
experience in an extraordinary way the riches contained in Our Hearts. Tell My
people about these riches! Tell them that I and Mary long for them to come
within Our Hearts! I am Lord and Master. Please listen to My words. Come to
Our Hearts!"
Surrender to the Heart of Jesus
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people how I
want them to surrender to My Heart. I have taught you that the more you
surrender to Me, the greater is your peace, joy, and happiness. I have shown
you that the more you allow Me to control your life, to direct your life, the
happier you become. I have shown you how fruitless it is for a person to want
to control one's own life. A person has a choice: as a finite, weak creature
to try to control things himself, or in humility to throw himself into my
arms, the arms of One Who is all-loving and all-powerful.
"I give you the grace to increasingly surrender to My
Heart. In doing so you experience My love and power in an extraordinary way.
Teach My people these lessons. Tell them to listen to My words. I am Lord and
Master, and I desire all to heed My request! I give this message out of My
great love for My People!"
Jesus Asks for Our Love
Jesus: "My beloved companion, tell My people how
I long for them to say that they love Me! When they do this, it gives Me great
joy. When they tell Me they love Me, I take them close to My Heart. I give
them the desire to love Me more and more. I clothe them with fresh graces,
increasing their capacity to love God and neighbor. Tell My people to express
their love for Me often! I am Lord and Master. Please do as I request!"
Mary as Our Mediatrix
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, I have given you a
profound conviction of how necessary it is to realize I am your motherly
mediatrix with Jesus. I have been appointed by the Triune God. Constantly
remind all my little ones of this great truth! The more my little ones give
themselves to my maternal and Immaculate Heart, the more I bring them to the
Heart of Jesus!"
I Have Died for All -
You Must Love All
Jesus: "My beloved companion, tell My people
that all in the human race have been marked with My Precious Blood! I died a
brutal death for all! Since all have been touched and redeemed by My Precious
Blood, no one can be excluded from your love. My people must love each and
every one. They must look beyond the exterior of a person and see the
God-image of each. Each one has been created in God's image. Each one has been
raised to a new dignity through My redemption.
"Tell My people to be conscious of all this in their
dealings with others--especially those marginalized little ones who are so
forgotten and abandoned by many. Each person is precious to My Sacred Heart!
Treat everyone accordingly. Be kind, and patient, and, above all, loving
toward everyone. In union with Mary, come to My Heart each day and I will give
you the light and strength to love your neighbor with a mighty love! I am Lord
and Master! Please heed My request. In My great love for you, I give you this
message!"
Come to Our Hearts
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, how I love you!
You give me such great joy because you love to dwell in my Immaculate Heart.
In my great love for you, I have obtained this grace for you--that you love to
dwell in my Heart! In my Heart, I caress you as a little child. I shower you
with expressions of my motherly love. I take you each day to the Heart of
Jesus and place you deeply within His Heart. How you love for me to do this,
and how I love to do it! Tell all my little ones of the riches you have
discovered in my Heart and Jesus' Heart. Tell them to come to Our Hearts in
order to experience similar riches. Oh, how I love all my little ones, and how
I long for them to come to me!"
Live Your Consecration
Jesus: "My beloved friend, I have taught you
what is involved in living out your consecration to My Heart and to My
Mother's Heart. I have taught you to renew your consecration each day. I have
led you to be aware of your consecration many times during the day. I have
taught you to pray frequently during the day for the grace to grow in the life
of consecration. I have impressed upon you that your consecration to Our
Hearts includes your being aware of how much I and Mary love you! I have given
you a great desire to respond to Our love. I have greatly increased your
desire to love Me, the Father, the Holy Spirit, Mary, and all your fellow
human beings! I have taught you that to grow in your consecration you must
surrender more and more to My Heart and My Mother's Heart--that you must give
yourself completely to Us. And I have given you a great desire to do so! I
have given you a great trust in Our Hearts. This trust is so important in
making the act of consecration and living it.
"My beloved companion, tell My people about these
lessons I have taught you. Lead them to consecrate themselves to My Sacred
Heart and to Mary's Immaculate Heart. Tell them of the great love, peace, and
joy they will experience if they make this consecration and live it! I am Lord
and Master. I urgently request that My people listen to My messages and live
them! I love My people with a tremendous love, and, out of this love, I give
My messages through you and others in these most critical times!"
The Cross Leads to Life
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, tell My
people that they must keep the lesson of the cross fresh in their
consciousness. Remind them that I am the Christ of the Cross as well as the
Christ of the Resurrection. I suffered tremendously on My way to death on the
cross. My sacred flesh was so cruelly lacerated by the scourging. My sacred
head was so cruelly and mockingly crowned with thorns. I was spat upon and
made fun of. Exhausted by terrible suffering, I still had to carry the heavy
cross to Calvary. There My sacred hands and feet were mercilessly pierced with
nails. Oh, what pain this caused Me!
"I suffered all this most willingly--out of love for My
Father and for all My people! Through My cross, through My suffering, I
obtained new life for My people. Through My cruel and brutal death, I achieved
Resurrection for Myself and all My people. My suffering was not an end in
itself. It was a necessary passageway to obtain the life I came to give.
"My people must share in My cross, so that they may
share more and more in My life. Remind My people, My dear friend, that
suffering, when embraced according to My Father's will, leads to greater life
here and hereafter. The cross, properly carried, always leads to a greater
share in My Resurrection.
"Tell My people that the more they are united with Me
in love, the easier is the carrying of the cross. The more one dwells in Me,
the more I help that person to carry the cross. In this way, even the heaviest
cross becomes relatively light.
"Carrying the cross does not mean to be in misery.
Carrying one's cross in union with Me always allows a person to remain in
peace. The cross does not take away peace and joy. Despite the pain involved,
the cross gives increased peace and joy. I am Lord and Master. I eagerly
desire that all listen to My words and live them!
"My people, come each day to My Heart and I will give
you the light and strength to carry your cross according to Father's will! I
love My people with an overwhelming love, and in this great love I give them
this message."
Come to My Heart
Jesus: "My beloved companion, how I love to hold
you against My Heart! Each day, as you dwell in Mary's Heart, she places you
against My Heart, and within My Heart. I have given you a great desire to
allow your mother to do this. As you dwell within My Heart, I tell you how
much I love you! I give you a great desire to love God and neighbor. I
increase your trust in Me--something so necessary for your growth in Me.
Within My Heart I make you feel so loved, so secure, so strengthened, so much
at peace!
"Tell My people I wish them to come to My Heart each
day, in union with Mary, in order to experience similar riches! Oh, how I love
for My people to come to My Heart! How I desire to tell them how much I love
them! How much I desire to ask for their return of love! I am Lord and Master.
I give this message out of My great love for My people, and I request that
they listen to My words."
My Father's Will
Jesus: "There is so much disunity, hatred, and
lack of love which covers the face of the earth today. My Father's will is
being seriously violated in all sorts of ways. There are so many
murders--including all the ones killed by abortion--thefts, all kinds of
violence, all kinds of impure actions, lies, blasphemies, and much more.
"My Father's will is so much violated because there is
so little love. The more one loves God and neighbor, the more My Father's will
is being accomplished. Love and conformity to God's will are inseparable.
"Tell My people, My beloved friend, to come to My Heart
each day. The more they come to My Heart, the more I will inflame their hearts
with a burning love to do My Father's will. The more they come to My Heart,
the more I will teach them concerning My Father's will. The more they come to
My Heart, the more I will allow them to realize that happiness consists in
doing My Father's will out of love in all things. The more one does My
Father's will out of love in union with Me and My Mother, the more I lead them
to the bosom of the Father in the Holy Spirit. Safe in My Father's arms, they
experience great happiness, peace, and joy.
"I am Lord and Master. In My great love for My people,
I give this message. I desire that all hear My words and live them!"
The Present Moment
Jesus: "My beloved companion, tell My people to
concentrate on living in the present moment. Tell them to depend on Me
from moment to moment. My people should want to fill each moment with as great
a love of God and neighbor as possible! So many of My people fail to
concentrate properly on the present.
"Come to My Heart each day, My people, and I will give
you the light and strength to more and more realize the greatness of the
present moment. The more you dwell in My Heart, the more content you will be
to live in the present. I am Lord and Master. I want to fill you with ever
greater peace and joy! But to experience this, you must listen to My words and
live them!"
How Much I Love You!
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, how often I
tell you how much I love you! And what great joy and peace I give you when I
tell you this! How often I press you closely to My Heart! Daily I draw you
ever more deeply within My Heart! There I allow you to experience the
overwhelming riches of My Heart. I have shown you, as you dwell within My
Heart, the secret of finding amazing peace, joy, and happiness. I have shown
you that to dwell within My Heart is to experience a foretaste of Heaven!
"I allow you to dwell so deeply within My Heart because
I have given you the gift of dwelling within My Mother's Heart. The more one
dwells within Mary's Immaculate Heart, the more she places that person within
My Sacred Heart.
"My beloved friend, keep telling My people about all
the wondrous riches contained in Our Hearts! Keep reminding them that they
live in the age of the Two Hearts. Keep telling them that the quickest and
most secure path to the highest sanctity is to dwell within Mary's Heart and
My Heart!
"I am Lord and Master. I plead with My people to listen
to My words and to live them! I love My people with a tremendous love, and in
this love I give them this message."
Spiritual Childhood
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, how I love to
enfold you in my arms as my little child! Enfolded in my arms in my maternal
embrace, I press you against my Immaculate Heart. I draw you within my Heart.
There, through my maternal intercession, I clothe you with Jesus' graces. As
you dwell in my Heart, I place you ever more deeply within Jesus' Heart and
there the Holy Spirit fashions you increasingly in the image of my Son. As you
grow in the likeness of Jesus, He takes you ever closer to the Father.
"Thus, as you grow in the sense of your helplessness
without God, the stronger you become in Jesus. Childlike thus becomes
strength. The smaller you become in living out spiritual childhood, the taller
you stand beside Jesus. Weakness becomes strength, your sense of helplessness
becomes spiritual maturity!
"Tell all my children about the wonders of spiritual
childhood! Tell them to come to me and I will school them in its ways. How I
love all my children! Oh, how I love to exercise my motherhood toward them
all!"
Humility
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, keep
telling My people of the great necessity of humility in the spiritual life. My
saints, oh, how they realized the importance of this virtue!
"The world is filled with pride. Pride is the refusal
to serve God. It is the refusal to do My Father's will. There is so much sin
in today's world because there is so much pride.
"Tell My people to come to My Heart each day. There I
will teach them the lesson of humility. There I will show them the riches
which flow from humility! There I will teach them that the more they grow in
humility, the more peace and joy and happiness they experience. Yes, let My
people come to My Heart and learn these lessons. I am Lord and Master, and I
desire that all respond to My request. I love My people with a tremendous
love, and in this love I give them this message!"
Depend on Me
Jesus: "My beloved friend, I have been teaching
you how necessary it is to depend upon Me completely. I teach you to keep your
focus on Me, to do everything in union with Me, with complete dependence on
Me. I give you the light to see how strong you are when you surrender to Me
and depend completely on Me. I allow you to share in a special way in My
power. I greatly enhance your ability to do so many things in My service.
"I draw you into My Heart, and as you depend on Me
completely, I allow you to draw forth from the riches of My Heart. You become
clothed more and more in My likeness. With an ever greater love you give
yourself to the service of God and neighbor. I also allow you to realize that
your growing dependence on Me is proportionate to your growing dependence on
Mary your Mother. The more you live out your consecration to her Heart in
giving yourself to her, the more she leads you to live out your consecration
to My Heart. This consecration includes and demands an ever greater surrender
and dependence upon Me.
"Tell My people of the joy and peace and security which
results from this growing dependence on Me. Tell them I wish them to come each
day to My Heart and surrender themselves to Me. Tell them to trust Me, and to
depend on Me for all their needs. In My great, burning love for them I will
care for them to the extent they trust Me and depend on Me! Oh! how I long to
care for all My people! Many refuse My help. To those who accept Me, I give
them peace and joy and happiness to the degree they surrender to Me and depend
on Me.
"I am Lord and Master. I desire that My people listen
to My words and live them! I love My people with a tremendous love, and in
this love I give them this message!"
Pray, Pray, Pray!
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, I have taught you
many times the great importance of prayer. I have obtained for you the gift to
love to pray--not only during your set periods of prayer, but also during the
day in a manner which permits you to perform your daily duties. I have taught
you to always be aware that all prayer should be made in union with the Mass.
Indeed, the Eucharistic sacrifice is itself the greatest prayer. All other
prayers should be consciously united with the Mass which is constantly being
offered throughout the world. I have taught you the great importance of
praying before the tabernacle. My Son is really present there in the
Eucharist--Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. Special graces are given to those
who pray before the Blessed Sacrament.
"There is so much to pray for in this most critical
era! The Church and the world exist in most difficult times. I desire that all
my children pray daily for all the needs of the Church and the world. I ask
special prayers for the conversion of sinners.
"I ask that my children pray the Rosary each day. Very
special graces are given to those who do so. During these times of great
purification, I promise special protection to those who regularly pray the
Rosary. I also promise protection to their loved ones.
"The more one is united with me, the more I lead them
to make their prayer in the Heart of my Son, Jesus. He, in turn, places all
prayer in the bosom of the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit.
"My dear son, please keep reminding all my little ones
of the great importance of prayer for their own needs and the needs of all
others! Keep telling them of the great necessity of prayer for growth in love
of God and neighbor! I love all my children with the most tender love. I
desire that all listen to my words and live them in their daily lives!"
Build up My Church
Jesus: "My beloved friend, remind My people that
the Church was born from My Heart, pierced with the soldier's lance on
Calvary. From My pierced Heart the Church with her sacraments was born. Two of
these sacraments, the Eucharist and Baptism, were symbolized by the Blood and
Water which flowed forth from My pierced side.
"As the Church was born from My pierced Heart, so does
the Church's life grow from the graces I continually give her from My pierced
Heart--this Heart which is now glorified. "I call all the members of My
Church to help build up My Body, the Church, by coming to My pierced Heart.
United to My Heart, and dwelling within It, I will give to each one the light
and strength to carry out My Father's will in the building up of My Church.
"Mary is Mother and Model of the Church. As 'Mother of
the Church,' she intercedes for all the graces the members need to contribute
to the building up of My Church. As Model--as perfect imitator of Me--she
shows the children of the Church how all, individually and collectively, are
to be increasingly formed in My image. As all come to My Heart for the
building up of the Church, let them do so united to the Heart of Mary.
"My Church is experiencing critical and very difficult
times. There are many divisions. There are many false teachings, including
some put forth by certain theologians. These false teachings occur because
those responsible are not in proper union with My vicar, the Pope, and the
Church Magisterium. I want all My children to pray daily for the cure of the
many and serious ills of the Church. With increased prayer and sacrifices for
the health of the Church, that day will soon come when the Church will be
purified and revitalized. When that day comes, the Church will be a light to
all nations as never before. When that day comes, the renewed Church will be
characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My
Sacred Heart. Thus the message of Fatima will have reached fulfillment.
"I am Lord and Master. I request that all My people
listen to My words and respond to them. I love My people with a tremendous
love, and in this great love I give them this message!"
Your Protection Against Satan
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, tell My
people to take special means in these present times to guard against the
snares of Satan and his followers. He is more active now than at any stage of
human history.
"He is leading many of My people away from the path of
the Gospel. Never before has sin blemished the face of the earth as it does
today. Satan and his forces are leading many along the path to perdition. Many
souls are being lost each day. Satan is helping to create divisions everywhere
within My Church, among nations, within nations, within families, within
individuals themselves. He does this by leading many to refuse to love God and
neighbor. In place of love, he is sowing the seeds of hatred. Divisiveness is
caused by a lack of love. The less love, the more divisiveness, the greater
lack of unity.
"As a remedy against the snares of Satan, I call all to
the refuge of My Heart and My Mother's Heart. The more you dwell in Our
Hearts, the less influence Satan has over you. In Our Hearts, you are more and
more clothed with the power to love God and neighbor. The more you love, the
safer you are from the snares of Satan. The more you love, the more you help
bring about the great era of a renewed Church and a renewed world. This era
will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of
My Sacred Heart. In this new era of splendor, love will reign in the hearts of
My people as never before!
"I am Lord and Master! Please listen to My words and
carry out My requests. I love My people with a tremendous love and in this
love I give them this message!"
"What I say to you in the dark, tell in the day-
light; what you hear in whispers, proclaim
from the housetops." (Matthew 10:27)
The Two Ways
Jesus: "My beloved friend, remind My people of
the seriousness of life. Two paths stretch before them. One way is My way, the
way which leads to eternal happiness in Heaven. The other way is the way of
Satan, the path which leads to everlasting punishment in Hell.
"I have laid down My life for each of My people so that
they could possess eternal life. I paid a great price to do this! But I did so
gladly because of My great love for My Father and all My people. As I was
suffering the excrutiating pain of My brutal passion and death, My Sacred
Heart beat with overwhelming love for each of you! I knew each of you by name.
How I long for each of you to love Me in return, and to follow Me on the path
to eternal life! Do not waste the graces which cost Me such a great price.
Resolve each day to grow in knowledge and love of Me. Resolve each day to make
use of the precious opportunities to love God and neighbor. Resolve each day
to become saints! Oh! how much the Church and the world need saints in these
the most critical of times!
"Be in communion with those in Heaven and Purgatory.
They have successfully completed their earthly journey. They followed My way,
and now eternal life in Heaven is theirs, or will be. Pray that those in
Purgatory may soon join the blessed in Heaven. Pray to the blessed in Heaven
and the souls in Purgatory that they in turn, may help you in all your needs.
"I am Lord and Master. Listen to My words! United to My
Mother's Heart, come to My Heart each day for the light and strength to follow
the path of life I hold before you--the path which leads to eternal bliss.
"I love My people with an overwhelming love, and in
this great love, I give them this message!"
The Indwelling of the Trinity
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, I have
given you a great desire to pray to the Divine Persons many times during the
day. This can be done in a way which does not interfere with your daily
duties. Rather, you have learned that this prayerful contact with Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit enhances your ability to work for God and neighbor. Remind My
people that when one is in the state of grace, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
dwell within that person in a most special way. We are within those in the
state of grace to receive their acts of faith, hope, and love.
"So many of My people are not aware of the precious
treasure which dwells within them! Tell My people to pray for a growing
awareness of this marvelous truth! Through the graces which flow from the
great love of My pierced Heart, My people are called to develop the greatest
intimacy with the Divine Persons. Please, do not waste these graces! I am Lord
and Master, and in My great love, I ask that all comply with My request!"
The Power to Love
Jesus: "My beloved friend, tell My people how
much I long to draw all of them to My Mother's Heart and to My Heart! I do
this to the extent they allow Me to do so. The more My people come to Our
Hearts, the more I empower them to love God and neighbor.
"I desire that all within the human family be united
through deep bonds of love. Many refuse to enter into this union of love with
their neighbor. That is why there is so much hatred and division in today's
world between nations, within nations, within families, between individuals.
"There are, however, many of My people who, because of
their growing union with Me, are increasing their capacity to love each other.
There is being developed a strong core who are helping to spread love around
the world. As these people dwell in Mary's Heart and My Heart, they are
helping to bring about the great new era of the renewed Church and world. When
the purification of Church and world is completed, this great era of peace and
love, predicted by My Mother at Fatima, will be characterized by the triumph
of her Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart, and love will
pervade the earth as never before.
"I am Lord and Master. Listen to these words I am
giving to you. Live these words! As you dwell in Mary's Heart and My Heart,
love one another with the deepest love! I love My people with a tremendous
love, and in this love I give them this message."
Scripture Nourishes You
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, tell My
people that I wish them to read Scripture every day. They should read a
passage from the Gospel each day and should read from other sections of the
New Testament as time permits. They should also read from the Old Testament as
time allows.
"The writings of Scripture guide you according to the
way My Father wants you to live. Since I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life,
all Scripture centers around Me. Scripture converges on the teaching contained
in My life, death, and resurrection."
"Many of My people say they do not have the time to
read from the Bible each day. Do they have time to read newspapers and
magazines and to watch TV? Yes! And much of what they read and watch is
harmful to their souls! People have time for what they think is important. If
a person says he does not have time to read from the Bible daily, what is he
actually saying?
"Come to My Heart each day and ask Me to give you a
deeper appreciation of the Bible. Ask Me to give you a deeper love of
Scripture. The more you prayerfully read the Bible, the more closely you are
united to Me.
"I am Lord and Master. I desire that all heed My
requests. I love My people with an overwhelming love, and in this great love I
give them this message!"
Mother of Our Christian Virtues
Mary: "My beloved priest-son, I wish all my
children to come to my Immaculate Heart each day. I cooperate with the Holy
Spirit in helping all my little ones to grow in the life of the Christian
virtues. As my children dwell within my maternal Heart, the Holy Spirit leads
them along the path of the virtues. Faith, hope, love, prudence, justice,
fortitude, temperance, humility, chastity, and the other virtues take deeper
root in the hearts of my children. Above all, the queen of the virtues, love,
increasingly rules the lives of my little ones.
"I am ever at the side of my children to help them grow
in the life of the virtues. As I do so, I place them more deeply within the
Heart of Jesus, the source of growth in all the virtues. The Holy Spirit,
then, desires that my children dwell both within my Heart and Jesus' Heart.
Within Our Hearts He clothes you with growth in the life of the virtues. The
more you dwell in my Heart, the more ready you are for my placing you deeply
within the Heart of Jesus where the Holy Spirit clothes you more and more with
the splendor of all the virtues. Thus you grow in the likeness of Christ, and
Jesus unites you more closely to the Father."
Work to Make Your World Better
Jesus: "My beloved companion, remind My people
of their responsibility toward the world. They have a duty to try to make this
a better world for all to live in.
"Today there is much which is wrong with the world. Sin
covers the face of the earth. Sins of all kinds blemish the goodness of My
Father's creation.
"However, My Mother and I are increasingly gathering
our forces for the battle against Satan and his followers. We are more and
more forming Our followers to wage the battle to win back that part of the
world dominated by Satan's influence. We are forming our followers in the ways
of love. We are forming Our followers with the grace which flows from the
bosom of My Father, through My Heart, given in the Holy Spirit, and
distributed through the intercession of the maternal and Immaculate Heart of
Mary.
"We are forming Our followers to give themselves in the
greatest love for God and neighbor. We are bringing them ever more closely to
Our Hearts so that they may draw from the flames of love of My Heart and
Mary's Heart! The more My followers dwell in Mary's Heart and My Heart, the
more they are enlightened and strengthened to give themselves for the
salvation of the world.
"I am Lord and Master. I ask all to follow Me and My
Mother to help us bring forth the great age of love and peace for the world.
This age will emerge after the phase of purification has been completed. This
age will be characterized by the triumph of Mary's immaculate Heart and the
reign of My Sacred Heart. In this great new age, soon to come, My people will
love and praise My Father, with Mary and through Me and in the Holy Spirit, as
never before!
"I love My people with a tremendous, burning love, and
in this love I give them this message!"
Follow the Way I Have Given You
Jesus: "My beloved priest-companion, I have
given you this book of messages for the spiritual instruction of My people. I
have put before My people the path I wish them to follow. The messages I and
My Mother have given all converge upon devotion to Our Hearts, and, in
particular, upon consecration to Our Hearts. Ideally, devotion to Our Hearts
culminates in the act of consecration to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.
Living out this consecration day by day leads to the highest sanctity.
"My people who make and live out the consecration to
Our Hearts are helping to bring about the great new era of peace which the
Church and the world will experience after the period of purification has been
completed. This period of splendorous peace will be characterized by the
triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart!"

This morning, I listened attentively to Jesus' & Mary's
messages and I received graces.
I am a Filipino priest educated for 8 years by the Jesuits
of ____. I came to America last May 5 and I helped out
for 2 months at St. ____ Catholic Church in _____.
Already there, I have heard about Shepherds of Christ Ministries
from a devout lay woman.
As a naturalized U.S. citizen since 1978, I can stay here
in any part of the country where I am needed. Presently, I am
awaiting my Bishop's endorsing letter from _____ Philippines.
I am an invited guest priest helping out at St. _____Catholic
Church though I am not residing in the Parish Rectory since my
Bishop's letter is still being awaited.
Dear Fr. Ed: I am a firm and devout believer of
Jesus' and Mary's messages as received by you.
Please, enroll me in your list of recipients of other
messages. And if you can send me more tapes, books and other
hand-outs. I would very much appreciate as I can
use them in sermons, in counseling, and in my own spiritual life.
Since I am not a parochial vicar yet. I have no
income to share with your noble and God-sent ministries
for the present time. When the time comes that I do get
accepted here or elsewhere, I am more than willing to assist
financially.
Keep me in your holy prayers as I pray that your
selection as God's messenger become widely accepted and
practiced by Brother-priests and lay people.
"Oremus pro invicem" and with Best wishes, I remain.
Yours truly in Jesus and Mary

Dear Shepherds of Christ
Last evening when reading God's Blue Book I came across
the message February 18, 1994 "Come to My Tabernacle" that I would
like to receive permission to publish.
I am the Chairman of the Society of __________ in New
Zealand which is a body that has been running for two years now and which
was set up with the approval of the NZ Catholic Bishops Conference to whom
we are annually accountable. This year we will be publishing four
newsletters that are photocopied onto two A3 size sheets or alternatively
fold into eight A4 pages. We tend to run articles from overseas Eucharistic
Adoration Society newsletters, the Internet, local stories and general
interest items. We only have about 250 members and ran off about 1000 copies
of our last issue.
We would be happy to post you a copy of our last issue so
you can see the quality of our presentation.
If you give your consent, we would be happy to list out
the source and any other particulars you may wish.
Yesterday we ordered a draft for $95 for the initial order

Dear Sirs,
Let me introduce myself firstly. I am a mother of two
children.
Son and a daughter. I received 'God's BLUE BOOK from my
husband's aunt. She wanted me to take time and read this
book.
She told me after I finished to return the book.
I must tell you, from the time I started reading this my
life has
changed. I keep a set time for prayer and during office
hours
too I keep on praising the Lord. My husband said a few days
ago that it's going to be Christmas and we do not have
money.
He said he was all day worrying about this. I said leave it
at the
feet of Jesus. Surrender it.
Please let me know whether I could have a copy of this
book
if it is possible.
I love this book. I would love to have this.
God Bless

How has being a member of Shepherds of Christ has
changed my life?
When I was a baby, we lived next door to a convent and I had
12 years of Catholic education. I married and left Cincinnati eventually.
After my civil divorce, my three younger children and I moved back to Price Hill
in Cincinnati where I grew up. This time brought me the Catholic Charismatic
experience.
Dad died in '86, and I moved away to a small town. Though I
tried, I thought no Catholic church or prayer group met my needs so I attended
Protestant prayer meetings and services. I found ministers and prayer groups
that deeply love the Lord Jesus, and I would still be in these circles except
that I went back to Cincinnati to visit. I hadn't told my old friends that I was
no longer a practicing Catholic so I joined them when they attended charismatic
functions. At one of these I was given Blue Book I.
Actually, someone tried to give it to me and I wouldn't take
it saying, I had too much to read , so it was given to the friend I was staying
with. When we got home and she was out of the room, I opened the book so I could
congratulate myself for not accepting it.
That's Jesus! Jesus is speaking in this book! I read almost
the whole book that night, then I ate humble pie and phoned the lady who had
pressed me to accept it. I received it in a few days.
Back home I read and reread it. Jesus was speaking loud and
clear and I went to the nearest church and made a confession and resumed my long
neglected practice of daily Mass. I also began to go to the Shepherds of Christ
chapter meetings in Morrow, Ohio, where I heard the call for volunteers to come
to the Virgin Mary Site in Clearwater, Florida.
How well I understand God's words, "Your thoughts are not
My thoughts!".
Changing my thoughts and my ways comes more slowly than
changing my address, which is now Clearwater, Florida.
Though retirement isn't at all what I thought it would be, I
wouldn't trade places with anyone at all.

How has being a member of Shepherds of Christ changed my
life?
It seems that I have been searching for a good part of my
adult life for a fulfillment I didn't know existed. I guess I always thought
that raising my five children and providing a good home for them and my
husband was where I was supposed to be.
A friend came back from Medjugorje in 1988 and told me that
Our Lady requested that we pray the rosary everyday. And so this is where it
all started. I started praying the rosary daily and my life started to change.
It was as though from that point Our Lord was leading me on a journey-- prayer
groups, St. Louis de Montfort consecration, more prayer groups, grasping for
any knowledge I could.
Then in August of 1994 I was led to Falmouth, Kentucky, for
Our Lady's apparitions after finding out Our Lady was no longer appearing in
Conyers monthly. I continued to visit Our Lady's farm on the 8th's for the
next 11 months, the last being Oct. 8, 1995. I remember saying monthly that I
felt as if I was being prepared for something but didn't know what. If I'm to
be honest, I would have to say that I felt somewhat guilty always praying to
Mary and not feeling a deeper relationship with God. I knew she took our
prayers to her Son, Jesus, but I felt an emptiness that wasn't being
fulfilled.
Then on June 8th, 1995, we went to the Holy Spirit Center
after the Falmouth apparition and Rita came up to us and asked us if we would
like to pray the rosary with her. We declined because of the long and hot day
and returned home. We then went down to the Holy Spirit Center for the Miracle
of the lights on Aug. 31st, 1995. The next day we stopped at the Center again
and Rita again asked us to say the rosary with her. And so we did this time.
It was truly beautiful (Sept. 1, 1995). In June when we met with Rita she gave
me a Blue Book. I honestly didn't open it right away because I had so
much other material to read. My sister-in-law said that I really should open
it. I did.
This was what would finally fulfill my longing. This is what
I had been looking for, a relationship with my Lord. I learned so much through
these Blue Books. I started to talk to Rita weekly and started to learn
more and more. I then began writing up rosaries for her and continued the
learning. I learned of Our Lord's great love and how He is always with us. I
learned of His presence in the Eucharist, something I always knew but it never
really sank in. My life changed dramatically and I had this craving more and
more to be with Jesus in front of the tabernacle. I attended the 13th's at
Tom's Farm and the Holy Spirit Center and couldn't wait until the following
month.
Sometimes I feel I'll explode if I can't say what I know and
I feel. But it also brings such sadness to know of His great love and not have
the whole world be able to experience it.
This is why I feel Our Lord is teaching us to pray. It does
help to know we are helping to save souls and it helps me to deal with the
lack of faith that surrounds me in today's world.
When He gives me a gift or grace and my heart feels so full
of love I never want to leave the tabernacle.
God has so graced my soul to have allowed me to become a
Shepherd of Christ apostle leader, for I have done nothing to earn this gift.
And yet He allows me to love and know so many wonderful people in the
Movement.
I accept this gift and pray that I will spend the rest of my
life doing the Father's will and dwelling in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the
Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Looking back on my life, I see how our Blessed Lord has been preparing me for
Shepherds of Christ. My childhood revolved around prayer and involvement in
Church activities. I am eternally grateful for the influence of my parents who
taught me to love the Mass, and to respect priests and religious. My father
would not tolerate prejudice of any kind, setting the background for the
career I would have serving abroad in many countries.
When I retired and returned home I wondered
what I would do, as I looked immediately for a Charismatic Prayer Group,
studied the Bible and attended daily Mass. I decided to continue working as a
secretary, but something kept gnawing at me that there was more. One evening
at a Baptism of the Spirit Seminar I was participating in, I met Rita and her
son. I was taken with this young boy as I prayed with him and smiled at his
mother, inviting them to come to our prayer group.
One day I arrived at work and went immediately
to my computer to write a resignation letter. I had not thought of this at all
and when I read it, I smiled and thanked the Holy Spirit because it was a most
loving note. My boss was taken back in unbelief but was convinced I was
serious. That weekend I had a knock on my door and "enter Rita." She
said, "I receive letters from Jesus and wondered if you would type for
me. I’ll bring over my computer." I said I would be glad to (not even a
blink of the eye or questioning her receiving letters from Jesus!) This began
our friendship and my privilege for the next seven years as together we
recorded love letters from Jesus and Mary and from the Father. The Blue Books
were born.
I could write volumes about my experiences, but
will share one: I had a large Sacred Heart of Jesus picture before me as I
worked and from day one as I began I heard, "I bless the work of your
hands." and knew it was from Him because my hands would fly across the
keys and I knew He was doing the work for me. Every message I typed went
straight to my heart. I began to attend Mass and daily adoration with a love I
never thought was possible. I now know Him as my personal friend and constant
companion. I love Him with my whole soul and my whole being. From the very
first rosary I attended with Rita and the founder, I knew, believed and can
witness to the love that exists in Shepherds of Christ.
Presently I am living in Clearwater, Florida,
working as a volunteer at Mary’s Image Site along with the handmaids,
servants and apostles our Lord has chosen to be here. I am amazed how our
Movement has spread world wide. I love greeting people from all over the world
and listening to their testimonies, especially the many who come to tell us
how Shepherds of Christ has changed their lives.
Thank you, Lord, thank you, Father, and thank
you, Mary, our Mother who blesses us each day. Amen.

How has Shepherds of Christ changed my life?
The first time I opened God's Blue Book, I knew that Jesus
was speaking to me! The message was just what I needed that day!
I had not attended daily Mass since Catholic High School,
approximately 30 years previous. MY PRAYER LIFE had been practically
non-existent -- attending Sunday Mass and calling on God during trials. In
fact, the threat of my husband dying of cancer took me back to praying the
rosary and praying novenas to the Blessed Mother. After he died I was at a
loss, for I considered him my "rock". For the first time ever in my
life, I began praying to do God's will. I had a career, but I felt in my heart
that I didn't want to do that for the rest of my working life.
I was invited by a friend to make a Cursillo weekend and
without hesitation, said yes. Following the grace-filled weekend, I entered
the chapel for adoration and picked up the Blue Book, which I had ignored for
weeks. I immediately fell in love with Jesus and my life began to change! With
the help of Jesus through the Blue Book, along with daily Mass and Holy
Communion and spending time after Communion with Jesus and time in prayer, I
was able to work through my depression, which I had even denied existed.
After giving out many Blue Books to relatives and friends, I
received an invitation to attend the first monthly Shepherds of Christ
national prayer meeting at Tom A's farm held on October 13, 1996, with Rita
leading a Live Rosary. I felt drawn to every meeting after that, and soon
found myself in the core group at Morrow, Ohio, attending weekly prayer
meetings with Live Rosaries. Through the use of the Blue Books, mostly in
front of the tabernacle, weekly prayer meetings, and rosaries at Morrow, I
have grown closer to Jesus than I ever thought possible.
I thank Jesus every day for His many graces and the deep
love that He gives me to draw me closer and closer to Him. I also thank my
spiritual Mother, Mary, with all my heart for her help when I turned to her in
desperation and for the help she's given me throughout my life.
As an apostle working in Florida at Our Lady's Image Site, I
have a great opportunity to spread the light and love of Christ to all I
meet!!!

great era of peace.
I can't see anything out the window

on the way down to Tampa on the plane, it was so
clear and I could see things
below all the way to the earth.
God is delivering messages telling us this:
Our priests are dwindling.
We must pray for them and for the Church and the
world.
We can be in this blinded stage from
the distractions of the
earth, but a message from
God and a sign like Mary
on the building should help
us to "sit up" and take notice.
Now we are above the clouds.
A blanket of white fluffy clouds
are beneath the plane, the
sky is "Virgin Mary Blue" and
the sun shines so brightly
in the sky above the clouds
gleaming through the blue
sky.
I want you to see it all.
It reminds me of the great era of peace
Jesus and Mary have promised.

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje

Fatima: The Setting
On October 13, 1917, there were more than 70,000 people
gathered in the Cova da Iria in Fatima, Portugal. They had come to observe a
miracle which had been foretold by the Blessed Virgin to three young
visionaries: Lucia dos Santos, and her two cousins, Jacinta and Francisco
Marto. (1) Shortly after noon, Our Lady appeared to the three visionaries:
As the Lady was about to leave, she pointed to the sun.
Lucy excitedly repeated the gesture, and the people looked into the sky. The
rain had ceased, the clouds parted, and the sun shone forth, but not in its
usual brilliance. Instead, it appeared like a silver disc, pale as the moon,
at which all could gaze without straining their eyes. Suddenly, impelled by
some mysterious force, the disc began to whirl in the sky, casting off great
shafts of multicolored light. Red, green, blue, yellow, violet--the enormous
rays shot across the sky at all angles, lighting up the entire countryside
for many miles around, but particularly the upturned faces of those 70,000
spellbound people.
After a few moments the wonder stopped, but resumed again
a second and a third time--three times in all--within about 12 minutes. It
seemed that the whole world was on fire, with the sun spinning at a greater
speed each time.
Then a gasp of terror rose from the crowd, for the sun
seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come crashing down upon the
horrified multitude.... Just when it seemed that the ball of fire would fall
upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the sun resumed its normal
place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as ever.
When the people arose from the ground, cries of
astonishment were heard on all sides. Their clothes, which had been soaking
wet and muddy, now were clean and dry. Many of the sick and crippled had
been cured of their afflictions. (2)
The above describes the great miracle which brought to
conclusion the series of apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima which took place
six times, from May to October 1917. The Miracle of the Sun was the sign God
gave to the world in proof of the authenticity of the apparitions. The event
was reported in newspapers around the world.

Mary speaks: 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.

Messenger: Here is the message I got from
Jesus first.
December 19, 1996
Received in a few minutes after Communion
St. Gertrude Church
Jesus speaks: My Beloved Ones,
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
