                Mary is full of grace.

                In the Blue Book IV —

                    We see the most tender relationship
                        between Jesus, a Divine Person,
                        and Mary, His Mother — Mary
                        full of grace, Mary from the
                        first moment of conception
                        conceived without sin.

                Now I see from all I have written and
                    been given how the Holy Spirit
                    wants to perform His marvelous
                    wonder on our souls as we
                    dwell in the Immaculate Heart
                    of our Mother — her spiritual
                    womb —

                    coming forth children of light —
                    ACTING IN WISDOM

                We came forth from the womb of our
                    physical mother — we were formed in her
                    body

                The Holy Spirit works in the spiritual womb
                    of our Holy Mother — Mary conceived
                    without sin, the Holy Spirit forms
                    us as we cooperate with His
                    grace — more and more in the image
                    and likeness of Jesus

                There is such oneness between Jesus and
                    Mary — the tender love that
                    exists between Jesus, the Divine Almighty God
                    and Mary, a human creature, full of grace

                God is love — tender love — God showed me
                    His Heart on fire December 17, 1991 —
                        17 years ago

                God has told me and I have written about
                    the Eucharist —
                    God is love

                    Jesus remains in the exposed Eucharist
                        here — 

 

   

                        no less present than when He
                        walked the earth

                Jesus deserves praise and honor and love —
                    Think of that
                    Jesus is no less present than when
                        He was at the "Finding in the Temple"

                How should you treat Jesus in the Eucharist
                    in Church?

                The Divine Almighty God is truly present
                    in the Eucharist as we have
                    exposed in China, Indiana.

 

John 10: 10

...I have come
so that they may have life
and have it to the full.

 

Genesis 1: 26-28

    God said, ‘Let us make man in our own image, in the likeness of ourselves, and let them be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven, the cattle, all the wild animals and all the creatures that creep along the ground.’ 

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

    God blessed them, saying to them, ‘Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters of the fish of the sea, the birds of heaven and all the living creatures that move on earth.

 

Genesis 2: 7

Yahweh God shaped man from the soil of the ground and blew the breath of life into his nostrils, and man became a living being.

 

Genesis 2: 18, 21-24 

Yahweh God said, "It is not right that the man should be alone. I shall make him a helper."

Then, Yahweh God made the man fall into a deep sleep. And, while he was asleep, he took one of his ribs and closed the flesh up again forthwith. Yahweh God fashioned the rib he had taken from the man into a woman, and brought her to the man. And the man said:

This one at last is bone of my bones
    and flesh of my flesh!
She is to be called Woman,
    because she was taken from Man.

This is why a man leaves his father and mother and becomes attached to his wife, and they become one flesh.

    

                Creation of Man — God is the artist
                    woman is equal to man (not like an animal)

                ┌ woman was not taken from the head of man
                │            that she be dominated by him
                │
                │ woman was not taken from the feet of man
                │            so she would be trodden on by him
                │
                │ woman was taken from the side of man so
                │            she would walk beside him
                │
                │ woman was taken from under the arm of man
                │            that she would be protected by him
                │
                │ woman was taken near the heart of man
                └            that she would be loved by man

               

                        God intended man to be good —
                        God intended happiness
                        God put him in the garden of paradise
                        God had friendship with man

                MAN BROUGHT EVIL by HIS REBELLION
                        to God —

                God's commandments today are for our
                    happiness

                The sin of man is making himself a god

                Original sin
                    Selfishness in man
                    seeking dominance over woman
                    seeking dominance for dominance sake
                    disobedience
                    anger
                    pride
                    envy
                    jealousy
                    possessiveness
                    control and manipulation
                    lying

                There is need for penance.

                Man recognizes his sin against God.

                When man seeks forgiveness for his sin
                    it brings happiness to men.

                God wants man in friendship with
                    Him.

                Sin hurts our friendship with God.

                How can you be restored to friendship
                    with God, when because of
                    pride, a man lies about his
                    sins and his selfish injury —
                    punishment of others

                WHEN GOD commands us to love Him
                    and others

 

Matthew 22: 36-40

'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'

       

                God sees right through us

                When we are impure
                                jealous and act on it we
                                open a door to satan

                Where we should have acted
                    according to God's will —
                    we act in jealousy against God's will
                    we act in pride against God's will
                    we lie which puts us in
                        satan's trap

                In the first Blue Book writing Jesus
                    says He wants to be one in us and
                    us one in Him,

                but He warns satan's grip is paralyzing
                    and crippling

    

Picture of the Sacred Heart of JesusCling to Me (excerpt)

May 13, 1993

Jesus: My dear child, if you stay close to Me, then I live in you and you live in Me. I am He Who created you and I love you with such an intensity that you will never know. My words are your truth. You must abide in My heart in all things. There is no room for doubt. My ways are steadfast, direct, and without error.

You must stay rooted in Me to ward off the power of the evil one. His grip is paralyzing and crippling. His power is stronger every day.

When you live in Me, I am in your heart and he has no power over Me. I am your God. I am your true lover. I want to protect you. I want to guard you from this force. Stay rooted firmly in Me and he will have no power. . .

end of excerpt from May 13, 1993

 

                In the beginning of the bible man is in
                    the Garden of Eden, but he
                    rebels against God

                He is punished and because of our wounded
                    human nature men seek dominance
                    over women — men over men —
                    women over women

                God punished us for our sin —
                    we have a wounded human nature

                Our life is lived here to be truthful —
                    to grow more and more into the bride —
                    the spouse of Christ —

   

Revelation 21: 1-7

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.

   

                We are to model our lives after the holiness
                    of Jesus and Mary

                God made us

                God is a Supreme Being, infinitely
                    perfect —

                God made all things and

                God keeps them in existence.

                God made us to show forth His goodness
                    and to share everlasting happiness
                    with Him in heaven —

                God made us to know, love and serve
                    Him —

                Jesus is in China, truly present in the Exposed Eucharist.
                    We have 24 hour adoration.

                For 17 years I have written about the
                    Eucharist — circulating millions and
                    millions of books centered on the
                    Eucharist.

                Jesus is present in the Eucharist in
                    China, no less present than when He
                    walked the earth.

                This is awesome.

                If we were created to know, love and serve
                    God — how much more should
                    we be in awe with the exposed
                    Eucharist in China

                We learn how to know, love and serve
                    God by being close to Jesus,
                    spending time with Jesus
                    the Son of God,
                    Jesus teaches us about Himself
                    through the Catholic Church.

   

The Apostles Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. * I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

      

                God is Supreme.

                That means He is above all creatures.

                God has all perfections without
                    limits.

                God is eternal.

                God is all - good.

                God is all - knowing.

                God is all present.

                God is almighty!!

                God sees us!

                God watches over us with loving care.

                God is all - wise.

                God is all - holy.

                God is all - merciful.

                God is all - just.

                There is only one God.

                There are three Divine Persons in
                    one God —
                    Father, Son and Holy Ghost —

                God is the Creator of Heaven and earth and
                    He made all things from
                    nothing —

                God has all the power —

                Man is a creature composed of
                    body and soul —

                Man is made in the image and likeness
                    of God

                In the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve were
                    given sanctifying grace which made them
                    children of God and gave them the right to
                    heaven

                Adam and Eve were given happiness in
                    the Garden of Paradise —
                    great knowledge and freedom from
                    suffering and death —

                God told Adam and Eve not to eat of the
                    fruit of a certain tree that
                    was in the Garden of Paradise

                Because of Adam and Eve's sin we lost
                    sanctifying grace, the right to heaven
                    and special gifts

                Adam and Eve became subject to death,
                    suffering and a strong inclination
                    to evil

                They were driven from the Garden of
                    Paradise

                The chief punishment of Adam and Eve
                    are
                    Death
                    Suffering
                    Ignorance and
                    A strong inclination to sin —

                We must resist sin

                We must pray for God's grace

                The sins of our wounded human nature
                    are pride,         
                    covetousness,
  
                    lust,       
         
                    anger,      
              CAPITAL
                    gluttony,                   SINS
                    envy,          
    
                    sloth,     
         

                SLOTH and PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE

                    The Hebrew word for satan is 'adversary' —

                    A person can give into counsel by the devil —
                plan 2 things at once — working in disharmony not unity

                Scripture talks about Slavery — over and over
                    again

                A whole nation can have slavery to sin

                To keep on sinning with bad habits is
                    slavery to sin

                When one goes to be forgiven in confession —
                    they are to admit the sin and
                    try not to sin again —

                A person that constantly says
                    I'm sorry, but doesn't
                    intend to quit sinning
                    has a spiritual problem

                Sinning hurts our relationship
                    with God — when we tell God
                    we are sorry we should tell God we will try
                    not to sin again —
                    we then become closer to God

                Slavery in war

                War with satan — when satan
                    wins and we don't do
                    God's will is a slavery
                    in giving into satan and
                    not seeking forgiveness or
                    admitting our sin, or do we tell
                    God we're sorry and making
                    recompense to God for our
                    sin —
                    saying to God we don't want
                        to sin again and meaning it

                God gives us a Covenant of His
                    love —

                He wants relationship with us —

                Sin hurts our relationship with God —

                There are slaves all through the scriptures
                    for those loving and serving God
                    and others persecuting them —

                There are people enslaved in the scriptures —

                Jesus is the suffering servant

 

 

                Jesus Christ is the Savior

                God did not abandon man after Adam
                    fell into sin, but promises
                    to send into the world a Savior
                    to free man from his sins and
                    to reopen to him the gates of
                    heaven

  

                Jesus is God — made man

                Jesus has 2 natures —
                                    a Divine Nature and
                                    a Human Nature

                Christ is God

                Christ is the Son of God

 

John 14: 6

 I am the Way; I am Truth and Life.

 

Genesis 3: 1-20

   Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, ‘Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?’ The woman answered the snake, ‘We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death." ’ Then the snake said to the woman, ‘No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.’ The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig–leaves together to make themselves loin–cloths.

   The man and his wife heard the sound of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from Yahweh God among the trees of the garden. But Yahweh God called to the man. ‘Where are you?’ he asked. ‘I heard the sound of you in the garden,’ he replied. ‘I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.’ ‘Who told you that you were naked?’ he asked. ‘Have you been eating from the tree I forbade you to eat?’ The man replied, ‘It was the woman you put with me; she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.’ Then Yahweh God said to the woman, ‘Why did you do that?’ The woman replied, ‘The snake tempted me and I ate.’

   Then Yahweh God said to the snake, ‘Because you have done this,

   Accursed be you of
   all animals wild and tame!
   On your belly you will go
   and on dust you will feed
   as long as you live.
    I shall put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and hers;
    it will bruise your head
    and you will strike its heel.’

     To the woman he said:

     I shall give you intense pain
        in childbearing,
     you will give birth to your children
        in pain.
     Your yearning will be for your husband,
      and he will dominate you.

   To the man he said, ‘Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat,

     Accursed be the soil because of you!
     Painfully will you get your food from it
     as long as you live.
   It will yield you brambles and thistles,
     as you eat the produce of the land.
   By the sweat of your face
     will you earn your food,
     until you return to the ground,
     as you were taken from it.
     For dust you are
     and to dust you shall return.’

   The man named his wife ‘Eve’ because she was the mother of all those who live.

 

Genesis 3: 5

God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.’

 

Romans 7: 14-19

We are well aware that the Law is spiritual: but I am a creature of flesh and blood sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand my own behaviour; I do not act as I mean to, but I do things that I hate. While I am acting as I do not want to, I still acknowledge the Law as good, so it is not myself acting, but the sin which lives in me. And really, I know of nothing good living in me-in my natural self, that is-for though the will to do what is good is in me, the power to do it is not: the good thing I want to do, I never do; the evil thing which I do not want - that is what I do.

 

Acts 13: 16-23

Paul stood up, raised his hand for silence and began to speak:

'Men of Israel, and fearers of God, listen! The God of our nation Israel chose our ancestors and made our people great when they were living in Egypt, a land not their own; then by divine power he led them out and for about forty years took care of them in the desert. When he had destroyed seven nations in Canaan, he put them in possession of their land for about four hundred and fifty years. After this he gave them judges, down to the prophet Samuel. Then they demanded a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin. After forty years, he deposed him and raised up David to be king, whom he attested in these words, "I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who will perform my entire will." To keep his promise, God has raised up for Israel one of David's descendants, Jesus, as Saviour,

   

                Thousands of years elapsed between
                    Adam and Eve and the coming
                    of Christ

   

Jeremiah 31: 31-34

‘Look, the days are coming, Yahweh declares, when I shall make a new covenant with the House of Israel (and the House of Judah), but not like the covenant I made with their ancestors the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of Egypt, a covenant which they broke, even though I was their Master, Yahweh declares. No, this is the covenant I shall make with the House of Israel when those days have come, Yahweh declares. Within them I shall plant my Law, writing it on their hearts. Then I shall be their God and they will be my people. There will be no further need for everyone to teach neighbour or brother, saying, "Learn to know Yahweh!" No, they will all know me, from the least to the greatest, Yahweh declares, since I shall forgive their guilt and never more call their sin to mind.’

 

Jeremiah 1: 4-7

The word of Yahweh came to me, saying:

 ‘Before I formed you in the womb
     I knew you;
  before you came to birth 
     I consecrated you; 
  I appointed you as prophet to the nations.’

  I then said, ‘Ah, ah, ah, Lord Yahweh;
you see, I do not know how to speak: I am only a child!’

  But Yahweh replied,
‘Do not say, "I am only a child,"
 for you must go to all to whom I send you
 and say whatever I command you.

 

Matthew 2: 1-6

After Jesus had been born at Bethlehem in Judaea during the reign of King Herod, suddenly some wise men came to Jerusalem from the east asking, ‘Where is the infant king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose and have come to do him homage.’ When King Herod heard this he was perturbed, and so was the whole of Jerusalem. He called together all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, and enquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, ‘At Bethlehem in Judaea, for this is what the prophet wrote:

And you, Bethlehem,
    in the land of Judah,
you are by no means the least
    among the leaders of Judah
,
for from you will come a leader
who will shepherd my people Israel.’

    

                Sing: Silent Night

                We are called to be holy —

                To love God in the Eucharist and worship
                    Him exposed in China

                What a great gift — the Blessed Sacrament

                Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist —

                We should worship Him

                Jesus You gave us the Eucharist as the
                    memorial of Your suffering
                    and death —

                May we worship You God

                Fall on our knees

                Never offend You in the Holy Eucharist
                    or sin before You because of
                    giving into selfishness — satan
                    can tempt us to be selfish —
                    disrespectful in our hearts

                Help us to know the PEACE You
                    come to bring

                    PEACE of the Kingdom

 

The Divine Praises

Blessed be God.
Blessed be His Holy Name.
Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true man.
Blessed be the name of Jesus.
Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart.
Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the paraclete.
Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most holy.
Blessed be her holy and Immaculate Conception.
Blessed be her glorious Assumption.
Blessed be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother.
Blessed be Saint Joseph, her most chaste spouse.
Blessed be God in His angels and in His Saints.

May the heart of Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, be praised, adored, and loved with grateful affection, at every moment, in all the tabernacles of the world, even to the end of time. Amen.

   

                God gives us such gifts in the Eucharist —

                Adam and Eve were given such gifts and they
                    disobeyed and sinned —
                    they wanted to be equal to God.

 

John 6: 53-58

Jesus replied to them:

In all truth I tell you,
if you do not eat
   the flesh of the Son of man
and drink his blood,
you have no life in you.
Anyone who does eat my flesh
   and drink my blood
has eternal life,
and I shall raise that person up
   on the last day.
For my flesh is real food
and my blood is real drink.
Whoever eats my flesh
   and drinks my blood
lives in me
and I live in that person.
As the living Father sent me
and I draw life from the Father,
so whoever eats me
   will also draw life from me.
This is the bread
   which has come down from heaven;
it is not like the bread our ancestors ate:
they are dead,
but anyone who eats this bread
   will live for ever.

 

                Thank You God for giving Yourself to us

                Thank You God for being our friend

                Thank You God for creating us

                We are sorry for our sins — please
                    accept our admission of guilt and
                    our act of reparation —

                As we worship and adore You here —

                Help me to see my calling in baptism
                    to be holy and spread the Good News —

                Help me to be so united to You in love —

                Help me to be holy — not rebellious and
                    selfish

                Help me never to provoke others and
                    give into this terrible
                    sin of disharmony

                Help me to strengthen the unity
                    of our home, the Church,
                    the community — through
                    seeing through the Father's eyes —
                    not prideful, jealous, selfish,
                    envious, disharmonious eyes
