December 23, 2004
Jesus speaks:       
I came as a baby in your midst —
                                   
I am sweet and kind, I love
                                   
My beautiful children of
                                   
this earth —
                               
If I call you to help Me - will you
                                   
help Me do what I ask —
Mary speaks:        My babies
are suffering — pray
                                   
to love — pray to give and
                                   
not to want more for yourself
                                   
than you gave —
                               
Do you not see my children
                                   
suffering?
                               
I cry to you, I cry to you, I cry
                                   
to you to be as God wants.
                               
Don't give into satan.
                               
Be like Jesus.
                               
To His death on the cross
                                   
He died for you.
                               
He was beaten and He bled —
                                   
crowned with thorns
                                   
for you —
                               
Can you not give to Him - this
                                   
Christmas —
                               
It is Jesus' birthday —
                               
Tell Jesus Happy Birthday
                                   
Give Him love by loving
                                       
the children of the earth.
Jesus speaks: I am Jesus the Son of God.
                               
My Heart is on fire for My Precious souls —
                               
I am the same God that came to this earth
                                   
and died for your sins.
                               
I have called those in the Shepherds of Christ
                                   
to help Me spread the message of My love
                                   
to a world that is bleeding.
                               
Little children are being taught so many
                                   
evil things.
                               
I give to the world a daily message that reaches
                                   
some 100,000 people every three days.
                               
The very people who are to help and live by this
                                   
have fallen off and fail to see the
                                   
importance of My daily message and
                                   
My prayer services.
                                   
My desire for December was for you
                               
to pray for the light and love of My Heart to
                               
reach My precious souls. The devil has
                               
waged a war to try to stop My messenger
                               
and prayer services.
                                   
I gave to you Fr. Carter and he died —
                               
I left the Movement in the hands of
                               
My messenger Rita Ring. This is a
                               
gift I have given.
                                   
More and more people ask what does
                               
Shepherds of Christ do for me. You should realize that
                               
what I have given you is a special calling
                               
to help aid in bringing about the
                               
renewal of the Church and the world.
                                   
I love you so very much and I have delivered
                               
My messages to you in My Rosaries
                               
and Prayer Services for over
                               
a decade.
                                   
I will continue to deliver My messages
                               
through My messenger. When I deliver
                               
a message it offends Me when you
                               
pay no or little attention to what I
                               
tell you.
                                   
My messages are given to call you to
                               
prayer and unity — the devil is division,
                               
selfishness, self-promotion, jealousy
                               
and pride —
                                   
He begins in little ways to get you to
                               
focus more on yourselves and abandon
                               
your mission.
                                   
I have called you — it is through
                               
your love for souls and for Me that you
                               
respond. One bad apple can affect a whole
                               
bushel.
                                    
I give My prayer services
                                   
I give you the daily messages —
                                   
This Movement is run by Me —
                                   
the more you ignore My daily
                                   
messages and prayer services or
                                   
try to block the great gift of
                                   
song and prayer I give you for
                                   
now and future generations — the
                                   
more you are blocking the gift
                                   
I want to give you.
                               
Some have abandoned the mission
                                   
as living as servants and handmaids.
                                   
I ask you to ask yourself as St. Ignatius
                                   
as you look at the crucifix
                                   
What have I done for Christ?
                                   
What am I doing for Christ?
                                   
What ought I to do for Christ?
                               
Pray My people on the 1/2 hour —
                                   
stop and pray for unity and love —
                                   
I am the one delivering the
                                   
messages —
                                   
You deal with Me —
                               
Do you say thanks  —
                                     
Do you say thanks for all the Blue
                                   
Books and Daily Messages have
                                   
done for you?
                               
I run the Movement through the daily
                                   
messages to not read them is to
                                   
skip directions from Me  —
                                   
more and more satan has blocked
                                   
the ability of the Daily Messages
                                   
to guide the Movement  —
                               
Please thank God for the gifts
                                   
given to you  —
                                   
get on your knees and pray for
                                       
mercy and be
                                   
thankful.
                                   
I am the Divine God  — never in
                                       
the history of the world have I
                                       
given such gifts and been
                                       
so very offended.
I love you Jesus
  
                                    
Excerpt from August 28, 2004
Messenger: I examine my conscience and tell God I am sorry for:
                           
1) When I have failed to recognize
                              
the great gifts given to me.
                           
2) When I have failed to love
                               
others, recognizing
                                             
I am showing love to
                               
God when I love my brothers.
                       
3) Failure to love Jesus as I should --
                                            
show my love to Him, and tell Him I love Him.
4) Failure to thank God for His gifts to me.
5) Ways of selfishness
                               
1) over indulgence,
                                                    
self-focus not living
                                                    
according to God's will for me.
2) not trusting God as I should
August 28, 2004 message continues
Messenger: Jesus is love.
                       
He wants us to love Him and love each 
                           
other.
                       
All through the day we should stop and
                           
tell Him how much we love Him.
                       
I know He is with me now at every
                                 
second, I am never alone, He is
                           
attentive to my every need.
                       
I help others because I love them.
                           
I help others. God wants
                                 
me to see Him in them.

From December 3, 2004
Messenger: My dear friends
Today the Feast of St. Xavier,
First Friday, Jesus appeared to me
as the King on His Throne at the
Cathedral where He told me to go
to Church.

  
On December 5, 1996 -
8 years ago Jesus appeared
to me at the point of death His
mouth moving, He was in excruciating
pain, I cried and could hardly stand
it.From a previous daily message:
I saw Him at the point of death on the cross
December 5, 1996, after Mary appeared 500 times.He hung, all battered, greatly weakened. His mouth moved very clearly. It seems that a man in His condition could not move His mouth to that extent.
Later in the rosary that night, He gave messages and said: "No one was listening."

Today the Feast of St. Xavier,
First Friday, Jesus appeared to me
as the King on His Throne at the
Cathedral where He told me to go
to Church.He was smiling and His
mouth moved and moved and moved.
He looked happy and the vision was
all aglow. He gave me a message to sit
in the first pew and He appeared
and talked about 20 minutes, He
was smiling.
May God bless you in this
most beautiful season.With lots of love and thanks,
Rita
