                November 10, 2015

                R. The Sacred Heart is the model for the great
                virtues of love of God and neighbor,
                and all the other virtues.

                    So we keep the Sacred Heart of Jesus so
                one in our hearts. We know Him more and
                more and follow His lead. What would
                Jesus do? What ought we to do to please
                Our beloved Sacred Heart, the Heart of
                pure and perfect love.

                    Jesus loves us so much and He shows
                us of His deep desire to be loved by us.
                Not to reduce ourselves to talk about
                and to not partake in the great
                mystery of God's love for us. Love He
                has for us and wants us to love others
                likened to His Heart.

                Song: Give Me Your Heart Oh Jesus


 

                R. We see the Heart of Jesus as symbol of
                this love. We see the overflowing of
                Jesus' pierced Heart in giving. We
                see the Church and the gift of this
                pierced Heart – overflowing with love
                for men.

                    We give ourselves in consecration
                to the Heart of Jesus. His Heart is
                symbol of the interior life of Jesus –
                so full of perfection and love –
                We see ourselves as God sees us –
                We are to put-on-Christ, we are
                to imitate Christ as our model
                and the one we love so
                deeply to consecrate our
                hearts to Him. We imitate Christ.
                We imitate Christ in His living His
                Father's will – We imitate Christ
                in His love, we understand more
                insight into the mystery of God's
                love. We allow our hearts to be
                more perfected, likened to our
                Heavenly Father – we seek the
                increase of the virtues of faith,
                hope and love and are not akin
                to the deadly sins of pride, of
                anger, of jealousy, of envy,
                which are vices, bad habits that
                people can give into, live by,
                seek and hurt the plan of God
                with this abuse toward others –
                where there should have been growth
                and trust and perfection, the
                stubbornness and sinfulness of
                pride, envy, jealousy, anger can
                be a way of life.

                    The man of great faith is seeking
                the Father's will – is living guided by
                the Holy Spirit, is counseled by the Holy
                Spirit, is growing in wisdom and of course
                understanding. He is not stilted into
                using disorder to force his impure
                ways on others and corrupting the
                growth – love and unity and living
                the plan of the Father can bring.
   


 

                R. It is an interior imitation of Christ –
                Growing in a heart of more and more
                perfected love.
   


 

                R. According to one's vocation and spiritual
                development, one is to put on Christ –
                in the unique way God has called them
                to develop and reach out to others,
                to love others and to help build the
                Kingdom of God.

                    We can see the talent message – is this
                message of going out – to work for God's
                plan.

                    But a man can be so self-enclosed –
                he is bitter to share, like a little one
                holding out to get their way – instead
                of giving always – holding out –
                like a little one holding their breath at
                5 to get their way –

                    They learn to shut down, to horde,
                to stall, to be bitter about their
                talents, that realizing talents are
                given by God – to share with others –
                to teach others – so others can use
                their gifts in the building of God's
                Kingdom. Gifts, like talents from God,
                were gifts to us – to be shared for
                future generations, for others to learn –
                It is just and right we say at Mass –
                are our actions just and do we have
                right reasoning according to God's
                vision. Satan is real – he is the
                great opposer, he wants disharmony,
                argumentation, violence, bitterness,
                control, shutting down –
                wrong reasoning –

                Satan wants people to argue – what
                    is right is wrong –
                    and what is wrong is right –
                    for pride, jealousy, envy, anger,
                        selfishness, bitterness.

                Jesus shows us His Heart with the
                    words

                "Most Sacred Heart of Jesus I place my
                    trust in Thee"

                Where is the trust one learns in
                    holding out to get one's self-focused
                    way – that feeds their pride
                    and is rooted in thinking –
                    envious thoughts of his
                    brothers – slighted and
                    shut - down –
                    not like the Heart of Jesus.

                    The love of the Sacred Heart is rooted in
                the life of love – it is rooted in God's grace –
                His life in us. The attitude of the holy
                heart is the attitude of gratitude –
                The will of the person is to do God's
                will - to love others and God first.
                To put on Christ - starts from the
                heart that has forgiven and has
                prayed for grace – to be good, to
                be just – not to give into bad
                habits of pride, anger, bitterness,
                envy, of looking with jealous
                eyes on one's brothers –

                    The incarnation goes on in us –
                Imitation of Christ –

 

Galatians 2: 19-20

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.

 

Galatians 3: 20

Now there can be an intermediary only between two parties, yet God is one.

 

                R. Consecration means – not holding
                back - selfishly, but giving oneself
                and all one is over - so their heart
                can be transformed more and
                more likened to Christ.

                    Consecration assumes generosity –
                not shutting down and hording –
                Consecration to the Heart of Jesus
                means a total giving of one's
                will to the Heavenly Father's will –

                    The way to make consecration to the Heart
                of Jesus takes prayer and God's grace to let go
                of self – to let go of pride and envy
                and childish ways of control, of
                trying to force one's way of dysfunction
                where God is trying to bring a garden
                of holiness.

                    China is for prayer, for reaching
                out, for joy and praise in gratitude
                for what God has done for us.
                China is where the Eucharist
                is exposed 24 hours a day and
                when we have 4 Masses during
                the retreats it is about making
                reparation to God for the offenses
                against the Hearts of Jesus and Mary
                and praising God and thanking God
                for His gifts to us.

                    These 4 days of prayer come after
                4 days of prayer and the 5th
                and the prayer in Florida where
                Mary is appearing begging us
                to pray for her children.

                    China is where the Eucharist
                is exposed and in these 4 days –
                we stop – we give ourselves –
                we are joyful to pray for the
                priests, the Church and the world –

                    We call members to tune in and
                pray – we bring all nightly prayers
                of the month to the altar and say
                God help us – united as a community,
                help us with those pilgrims who
                have come to be refreshed and
                pray with us.

                    The Servants and Handmaids
                are servants to facilitate this
                happening – are examples of
                the Christ-life living more
                and more in us in China –

                    The 13th comes after 8 days
                of prayer. The 13th is called
                by God as we make reparation for
                the sins in the world – we tell
                God we are sorry for these sins
                and beg for grace at Mass –

                    The Mass is the Sacrifice of
                Calvary – sacramentally made
                present –

                    We go out in love –

                    We seek God's will in giving
                        ourselves as servants
                        to help this happen –

                    We teach people with these
                        lessons – given from
                        God – on the Mass –
                        on prayer – on love –
                        on consecration –

                    We gather in one mind and one
                heart to pray before Jesus –
                To remember the Fatima message
                we gather at 12:00 on the
                13th –

                We want our disposition that
                    is selfish to change –
                    we seek conversion –
 

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Prayer for Union with Jesus

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

  

                R. I surrender myself to You God.

                Mary my Mother help me now –
                    in everything – I let go to
                    God's will –

                Jesus: Be detached from those
                    things in the world that
                    are against the Father's
                    will –

                    Focus on Me.
 

23 Years Ago

October 5, 1992 - 3:30am

R.  Dear Jesus, Give me Your hand to write this book for you. I am your servant. I want to be Your hand to this world. If you, Lord Jesus, would write a book, what would you say?

Jesus:  My dear children,

   Today I come to deliver a message to each of you. I want to tell you of each person's dignity, of their beauty and their self-worth. Each child is, oh, so uniquely precious to My Most Sacred Heart. Each child is full of the talents I have given to them. Each person is divinely created by God and given all these gifts to be happy and love one another.

   The problem comes when you feel you will be left out. That you will be left by another who has trodden on you and will do it again. I see you all as My most precious children. I watch your every move and know all pain and anguish in your heart. My Heart aches, you have insecure feelings about yourself. I came to this earth I died for you. I felt cold, hungry, lonely on this earth. You need not worry that no one knows the pain and anguish in your heart. God created you with such special gifts and talents. It is important for you to raise above your wound and forgive those who hurt you.

   You need only turn your will and your life over to Me and I will guide you in all your ways. I have all the Power. Many are not of My ways. The key to life is to recognize your faults, but still know you are this precious gift of My Father a gift to this world. This world is in need of your strength. Running yourself down, blaming others hurting them can cause you misery and pain. At this very moment, you are the precious creation of God!! You must operate with Me in your heart.

   You need not run yourself down. I am with you every day guiding your ways, lest your foot stumble and you lose your way. You will not wander far from your path if every day you keep bringing your focus back to Me. If you dare let Me be at the helm, if you dare to really let Me run your life, I will do with you such wonders that you yourself would be amazed. But you will know with such ease when you did these things that you did not do them alone. You will know My power, moving the mountain, My power chipping at the stone, My power working on your hardest problem and you will be set free.

   Oh yes, you will be set free and know a serenity that only comes from letting go and letting Me run your life. To you, My child, I have given all that is good. I made you My holy soldier, My warrior in a world of pain and hatred. You are the light that shines in the darkness, you are the coat to a cold child, you are the smile that warms a troubled and lonely heart. You are the comfort for everyone you meet, because My most precious Heart powers you, smiles through you, understands and loves through you.

   Love your fellows for Me. There are so many troubled hearts that need to know My love. I can love through you if you let Me, I can be their friend through you if you let Me. I am He who comforts you and you are he who comforts them. My power is endless, it never runs out, there is not a power failure EVER. In your darkest hour, My light shines in the darkness and I say to you, "Oh blessed of My Father, look at yourself with awe, you are My creation, you are indeed so precious to Me, you are My light to this world, you are My hands and My feet and most of all My Heart."

   Oh, you are My loving Heart, to those who are bowed down, to those who are lost in the darkness, you carry My smile and wear My armor in a world that is trying to tear one another down with hate and ugliness. There is gentleness, there is love, there is hope in you, if you open yourself up to Me. Be My knight to the world, wear My armor. I am your God and I will protect you from the darkness. Plug into My power, be not afraid, I go before you always and you can rest in My arms when you feel weary. You can put your head in My lap and weep, you will know, I am truly with you and you are My light to this world. I created you so special - to cast out fear in the darkness, to clothe the naked, to give hope to the oppressed, to be as I live in you and love through you and you are My smile and I touch My hurting ones through your love.

   You are he who loves this world. You must stay plugged into My power-source. This world is hungry for My love. It needs My love, I give to them through you. I am your God and I made you as a gift to the world. You are filled.

    Focus on Me and your life will be abundant and whole, joy in suffering, freedom — but  you can take the knocks because you will know you do not go it alone, but with Me. I love you My precious child.

                R. The Consecration to the Sacred Heart should
                be the desire to give oneself completely
                to God –

                    Everything we do then is centered
                around the consecration as a
                way of life –

                    We are not to take this Consecration
                lightly – We are to focus on doing
                God's will – always – not planning
                and prodding and fitting it into
                our schedule to make room
                for our inordinate attachments.

                    We want to give all we do in life
                in loving conformity to the will
                of the Sacred Heart. This is our life –
                our life centers around consecration
                to the Sacred Heart.

                    We want the devotion to the Sacred Heart –
                because we love the Sacred Heart so much
                we center all we do around
                the love we have, in giving
                ourselves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

                    This giving like this is what
                Christianity is all about –
                Putting on the Christ-life.
                We want to make reparation –

                    We love God, our Creator so
                much, we are sorry for the
                offenses against God –

                    Relationship with God is
                at the heart. The breach is
                the breach of sin that offends
                God who is so good and loves
                us and gives us so much –
                And we help by building
                a bridge in the relationship –
                repairing the breach in
                relationship – when our
                love for God is so great to
                want to repair, relationships
                with men for God
                as much as we can with our
                love and sorrow for sins.

                Reparation is at the heart of
                    Mary's message at Fatima –

                In justice we owe it to God
                    to tell Him we are sorry for
                    the sins committed in
                    the world –

                We identify with Christ's
                    sufferings on the cross –

                We are united to the Mass all day –

                    We help in the work of redemption
                with our prayers united to the
                Mass –

                    We unite our hearts to God
                and are enormously sorry
                for our sins and the sins of
                the world.

                    In Mass we help make reparation
                to God –

                    In the Morning Offering
                we help make reparation all
                day to God. We are sorry for
                the sins of the world –

                    Christ paid the price for
                our sins – we unite to
                Him in offering ourselves
                in sorrow for our sins
                and the sins of the world –

 

Colossians 1: 24

It makes me happy to be suffering for you now, and in my own body to make up all the hardships that still have to be undergone by Christ for the sake of his body, the Church,

   

                R. Sin is disorder –

                We tell God we are sorry.
 

Romans 8: 5-9

Those who are living by their natural inclinations have their minds on the things human nature desires; those who live in the Spirit have their minds on spiritual things. And human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to life and peace, because the outlook of disordered human nature is opposed to God, since it does not submit to God's Law, and indeed it cannot, and those who live by their natural inclinations can never be pleasing to God. You, however, live not by your natural inclinations, but by the Spirit, since the Spirit of God has made a home in you. Indeed, anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

 

                R. We are to die to self – to rise
                    in Christ –

                To put on Christ 

               

     Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis op. cit 55 AAS 35 (1943)

"Dying on the Cross

    He left to His Church the immense
treasury of the Redemption,
towards this she contributed nothing.
But when those graces come to be
distributed, not only does He
share this task of sanctification
with His Church, but He wants
it in a way it be due to her
action. Deep mystery this,
subject of inexhaustible
meditation: that the salvation
of many depends on the prayers
and voluntary penances
which the members of the
Mystical Body of Jesus Christ
offer for this intention ..."

 

                R. At the time Christ suffered
                He is consoled by our heart-
                felt love given to Him
                today.

                    Mary asked for reparation
                at Fatima!

                    We know Christ suffered
                for the sins in the future
                we are committing today –
                So we console Him with
                reparation today.

                Jesus speaks:

                    I was consoled by your
                heart-felt love – you give
                to Me in these retreats,
                on 5ths and 13ths –
                for your love given to Me
                now –
                I was consoled in My
                    bitter Passion –

                    

John 11: 19-27

and many Jews had come to Martha and Mary to comfort them about their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming she went to meet him. Mary remained sitting in the house. Martha said to Jesus, ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died, but even now I know that God will grant whatever you ask of him.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Your brother will rise again.’ Martha said, ‘I know he will rise again at the resurrection on the last day.’ Jesus said:

            I am the resurrection. 
            Anyone who believes in me, even though that person dies, will live,
            and whoever lives and believes in me 
            will never die. 
            Do you believe this?

‘Yes, Lord,’ she said, ‘I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one who was to come into this world.

 

 

Luke 10: 38-42

In the course of their journey he came to a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her house. She had a sister called Mary, who sat down at the Lord's feet and listened to him speaking. Now Martha, who was distracted with all the serving, came to him and said, 'Lord, do you not care that my sister is leaving me to do the serving all by myself? Please tell her to help me.' But the Lord answered, 'Martha, Martha,' he said, 'you worry and fret about so many things, and yet few are needed, indeed only one. It is Mary who has chosen the better part, and it is not to be taken from her.'

 

 

Excerpts from May 11, 1997 Rosary

The Agony in the Garden

l. R. Think of Jesus in the garden and in His Divine knowing, knowing all things. Jesus is God. Think of Jesus in His Divine knowing, knowing all things, knowing the great love of the Father for all of men, knowing the great gifts that have been given to man but in their blindness they do not see the great gifts that God has given to them. And with the Heart consumed with the deepest love for man, the Almighty God ready to give Himself to His bitter passion and His death on the cross, is now kneeling in the garden and seeing before Him all that He would undergo and knowing that He would give His all for sinful men. And they would reject Him and they would treat Him with hatred. And they would not even care that God gives Himself to them. Think of how it is, how you feel when you give and you give and you give to another and they do not appreciate that which you give. And in your heart, you feel very sad because you want them to know how much you love them. And many times they do not even recognize the love that you give to them. But think of the all-perfect Lord and the act of perfect love that He gives Himself to sinful men as He does this day. And that He is not even appreciated or loved in return or thanked. Jesus knelt in the garden and His sweat became as great drops of blood for the anguish within His being was so great, to give and to love and His all-perfect love to know all things, He wished to share His knowledge about Himself with man. But man is more focused on the things of the earth. It is excruciating pain for us to know, to know the greatness of God, to know into these Divine mysteries and to see that man does not even care how he neglects the Eucharist. How man does not treasure the great gift that the Mass is, that God gives Himself to us and he gets up and men leave immediately after Mass. Oh Jesus, the gift that You give to us is truly such a gift. We reach for such simple, idiotic things in our life, when You outpour Your Divine love and give us a sharing in Your life in baptism. Open our heart that we may see this great gift and treasure it and give to You great thanks and love, for Your gift given to us.

6. R. What is the greatest treasure? Is to approach the altar of the Lord and to see Him as the picture that’s on the front of the Apostles Manual. See Him clothed in white and see Him clothed in His red garb. See His hands outstretched with the wounds in His hand and the blood in His hands. But see the beautiful face that is on the front of the Apostles Manual with His arms outstretched. And He speaks and He says, “I give you Myself.” And He gives us Himself in the Holy Eucharist. And how is it? For we feel as if we can scarcely walk, when the Almighty, the Divine Lord, gives Himself to us in the Eucharist and we unite with Him. The Almighty God gives us a sharing in His life in baptism. Jesus gives us His Body and Blood in the Eucharist.

 

Excerpts from July 11, 1995 Rosary

The Agony in the Garden

5. R. Jesus knelt in the garden and, in His divine knowing, He knew all of the souls from all time, all of their sin, all of the vileness in the hearts of men. He also knew all of the acts of love, the burning love of His precious souls who come and spend time with Him. This love was sweetness during His bitter passion.

6. Jesus: Many in the world this day are blind and do not see. My dear ones, because you do not see with your earthly eyes, do not think that I am far. I am with you, ever by your side, guarding and protecting you. The Father is watching you. Your Mother is by your side. Let the Spirit live within your being and operate you as you go about your lives. Know the presence of the Almighty God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, within you. Go inside of yourself and feel the presence of God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

 

        Excerpt from February 1, 1996 Rosary

        The Agony in the Garden

                        10. ...It was during His bitter Passion that He was comforted by the acts of love that we give to Him this day...

 

Excerpts from July 11, 1995 Rosary

The Agony in the Garden

1. Jesus: Come to Me and meditate on My passion. It is in realizing My intense love for you that you will have peace and joy in your life and know My constant presence with you. I am Jesus, I am with you. I am depending on you to go into this world and be strong soldiers. Hold tight to My hand, My beloved ones. Focus on My love for you.

2. Jesus: When you think that nothing else can go wrong, My dear ones, and something else goes wrong, you are being tried. For the days ahead will be dark and hard. Realize that these are gifts that are helping you to grow in holiness and in virtue.

3. Jesus: I mold you into special gems, My dear ones, My beloved ones, My precious ones. I long for your love.

I long for a heart that is set so deeply in love of Me! Will you answer My call to unite? Be a heart that is burning with deep love for God. You are so precious to Me! A heart filled with love is so dear to Me and comforts My aching Heart!

My dear ones, so many of My beloved ones treat Me with such indifference and ingratitude. How My Heart is warmed by your burning love. Will you come to Me? Will you join in deepest love with My burning Heart, on fire for love of you.

5. R. ... This love was sweetness during His bitter passion.

10. Jesus: My Mother nurses you with the milk of salvation. Let go and be bathed in the love of Our Two Hearts. As I suffered in the Garden, I was comforted by your acts of love this day. Comfort My aching Heart, come and outpour your love, for I am waiting and longing and thirsting to hear the words of your love from your lips. Will you come, My beloved? I am the bridegroom of your soul, waiting for your precious soul to unite with Me. Will you come? Will you unite for our wedding? I am Jesus Christ and I am waiting for you.

HOT AND COLD SOULS (excerpt)

How He suffered for those souls who love Him, and then in their busyness forget about Him and fill their hearts with the pleasures of the world. How He intently loves His beloved religious. They were called by Him to unite in a special espousal relationship with Him. How He suffered in the garden for the religious, His chosen ones who go to the world for their love. A holy priest, sister, and brother gave Him such comfort with their love. As He suffered so much agony to His Heart all through His bitter passion, the acts of great love were such sweetness to His wounded Heart.

Excerpt from January 6, 1996 Rosary

The Agony in the Garden

8. R. How our acts of love comforted Him during His bitter Passion! The greatest agonies were not the agonies that He would experience to His body, but the agonies that He experienced to His Heart. In the garden He was bent over with pain for He was in agony to know all of the sins from all men, from all time.

 
 

Excerpt from the Spirituality of Fatima by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

July 13, 1917

    "During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." (11)

    "During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

    "You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

    "The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)

    "To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

    "But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." (13)

See Mary's Eyes Looking Into Jesus' Eyes (excerpt)

R. ... In this moment of love that I give to Jesus, it comforts Him during His bitter Passion.

    Think of the deepest loneliness in your heart, the deepest time when you were all alone, and know how it comforted you when someone you loved deeply shared your pain.

    Jesus, in the Garden, was in the greatest agony that He sweat blood. How sweet is the love I give Him at this moment. How cool the drops of love against His furrowed brow. How His Heart longed for this love! Our love was sweetness in His great sorrow and our love comforted Him in His bitter Passion. Jesus knew our sweet love in His Passion

    Oh, Jesus, that I may never forget this experience, as I suffered and felt pressed down in deepest agony, I know you love me. I felt the great love of Your Heart and your Mother's heart. In this agony I shared in that look with you, Your agony and Your comfort through the meeting of Your eyes with Your beloved Mother....

August 17, 1994 Blue Book Meeting (excerpt)
