Messenger:    We may go into war, but the war
                            can really be felt within the
                            individual as they struggle 
                            for the truth.

                        Some people have let Satan
                            influence them so deeply.

                        The war can be within the
                            individual's heart in the
                            struggle for dark and light.

                        What is truth?

                        John 14: 6

        Jesus said: 

        I am the Way; I am Truth and Life. 
        No one can come to the Father 
            except through me.

Messenger:    Jesus asked us to put this on.

Focus Only on the Love of Jesus

February 20, 1994 6:30 a.m.

Jesus:  You are My beloved child. I come with such strong and ardent love. Cast away Satan who is already working to give you doubt. You must remain constantly steadfast in Me. I am a rock. I am a fortress. I never wane or bend. I am the same this moment as always. Your thoughts of Me need to be this strong. I am the rock. You base all your faith, hope and love in Me. Your mind must be in a constant state of union with Me.

This is achieved by thinking of Me, My Love, My death, and how I loved you to My death. Satan wants you bowed down and focused on your imperfections. You are human. You are not perfect. If you have been thoughtless, self-centered, unkind, if you have any impurity, think about them and ask Me to take them away. Then forget them and move on, doing My work.

Do not dwell on how you should be perfect, that you are not and are disappointing to Me. That is Satan! You are not perfect. Admit it with humility. You are a creature that thinks of yourself. Selflessness is a constant struggle. Pray for strength and help to become selfless. This is how it is achieved. You do not do it. You pray and practice discipline in yourself. You are not perfect and I love you always. I love you in your faults, just as I love you when you are good. I love you unconditionally. It is pride to think you are perfect. You are not perfect. You are constantly struggling with the ego part of you. Pray to be absorbed in My heart. Pray for union with Me. Pray to die to yourself and remain only in My love.

Your actions must always be focused on your love for Me. Constantly tell yourself, "I act only for the love of Jesus. I do this for love of Jesus. I want to do God's will. I do not want to promote myself or feed myself. I do not want to give in to selfish interests, I want to act every moment only for the love of Jesus. I act for the glory of God. I pray for this, to be selfless in God."

I am the Alpha. I am the Omega. I am all there is. When you feed yourself, your glory lasts a moment. When you act for the love of Jesus, your love is given to your brothers and your actions are forever imprinted in the journal of heavenly treasures.

Do you act for love of Me and Me alone or does the devil tell you that you need recognition for yourself, that you need to be loved by all? I tell you to love God above all things. Do all for the glory of God and all falls into line.

Remain selfless and unattached to all things here. Do not be attached to anyone or anything. To do so takes you from Me. Your relationships should be out of love of Me. Love does not seek its own way. It loves the other for the love it can give them. You give My love to others. You should not, therefore, be attached to anyone. I am the beginning. I am the end. He who truly loves Me can let go of every single person or thing and still accept this as the will of God and not lose his peace.

Time is so short! Your practice of selflessness will help you for the days ahead. You must pray the Prayer for Union with Me.

I am so loving and so good to you! All I send you is from a good and loving God. Accept all you are given from Him Who loved you to His death.

I love you, child. Look how those in Medjugorje had to give up all their attachments. Some lost their children. They lost all their clothes and homes. They didn't have clothes to make themselves warm. They did not have food and went hungry! Oh, you don't even know what you are attached to! You think it is little things. It is big things: food, clothes, water, air, children, houses, cars, hot water, cold water--all your comforts. In one second they could be taken from you as they were taken from those in Bosnia. Are you this strong, that you would turn to love of Me rather than despair?

I ask you to give up little things, attachments-to-your-comfort things. You will know days of struggle and you will be put to many tests. All the struggles you suffer now will strengthen you for the tough road ahead.

Be unattached to any worldly possessions. Be unattached to people. Your top concern is your union with Me and Me alone. You love others only to bring them to Jesus, not to get things for yourself.

Do not give in to selfishness. Be totally selfless. Carry the little crosses I give you. They are nothing compared to what is to come. Comfort? Think of doing without water or electricity. Are you attached? Think of wanting food and not having any and watching your children suffer and being unable to give to them. You are so comfortable! You do not have any idea of what you possess. You are so attached and so self-centered. I say to you, die to yourself and to the little things you are so attached to. Give up that cup of tea you so ardently crave. This is to die to self. Do it with great love of Me. Do not share your sacrifice with others.

When your mind wants to worry and try to figure things out, give it up to Jesus and continue to do as I ask. Pray and play with your children. You do not need to talk so much. Give up the conversation which pads your ego and play cards with your children even when you want to do your own will. This is to die to oneself, to want so much to check it out, when I am making My way very clear. Check it out in silence with Him Who has all the answers. Why not go to God directly yourself?

These jobs I have given you require you to act only for love of Jesus. They require time with Me alone in front of the tabernacle. They require time alone with Me at home. Stop, go to a room, close the door and plug your phone into My Sacred Heart. This will create your dependency on Me. I know all things. I am almighty. I am all powerful. I am loving you every moment and everything you learn from Me is exactly right.

Practice this trust in Me. Trust is developed as a staircase to Me. You practice trust, then you turn the next one over and practice trust again, then you, when you are tempted to think and go to others, practice trust and, oh, how our union grows!

Pray the Prayer for Union with Me. Oh, I am your support. I am your love. I am the best friend. I have all the answers. I know you. I know your past, your future. I know your heart in ways that you do not know yourself.

Turn to Me and Me Alone. Give it all over. Refuse to worry. Refuse to give in to the ego. You need to focus on Me and My love. All things fall into line when you do this. I am God and I am working in your life. You mess it up. Quit working and let Me do as I want. You focus on My love and being My light in the dark world.

Satan wants you distracted. He wants you absorbed in everything else and not doing My job for you. Your job is love of God, love of others.

Practice letting go. Keep constant union with Me. Oh, how I love thee! If you could only comprehend, you would take your feeble hearts to Me! I am your all. I am your ardent lover. I have all the answers for your life. Oh, little one, I love--LOVE--you! Focus on Me. I can give you the love you are looking for. I can give you your answers. I can give you peace. You will never on this earth have what your soul craves, but you know that I am He Whom you seek. I am the God of your souls. No false gods give you any peace. Come to Me, My beloved. I want you to come to Me.

Alleluia.

I love you. Jesus Christ.

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary of Magdala.

This, then, is what I pray, kneeling before the Father, from whom every fatherhood, in heaven or on earth, takes its name.

    Glory be to him whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine; glory be to him from generation to generation in the Church and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen.

                    make his paths straight.’

                   ‘No one can have anything

                He must grow greater,
                I must grow less.
  

        (10)                    Jeremiah 1: 4-10   

The call of Jeremiah

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.
 Do not be afraid of confronting them,
 for I am with you to rescue you,
 Yahweh declares.’

  Then Yahweh stretched out his hand and touched my mouth,
and Yahweh said to me:

  ‘There! I have put my words
      into your mouth.
    Look, today I have set you 
   over the nations and kingdoms,
   to uproot and to knock down,
   to destroy and to overthrow,
   to build and to plant.’

   

Luke 1: 5-17

The birth of John the Baptist foretold

In the days of King Herod of Judaea there lived a priest called Zechariah who belonged to the Abijah section of the priesthood, and he had a wife, Elizabeth by name, who was a descendant of Aaron. Both were upright in the sight of God and impeccably carried out all the commandments and observances of the Lord. But they were childless: Elizabeth was barren and they were both advanced in years.
    Now it happened that it was the turn of his section to serve, and he was exercising his priestly office before God when it fell to him by lot, as the priestly custom was, to enter the Lord’s sanctuary and burn incense there. And at the hour of incense all the people were outside, praying.  
     Then there appeared to him the angel of the Lord, standing on the right of the altar of incense. The sight disturbed Zechariah and he was overcome with fear. But the angel said to him, ‘Zechariah, do not be afraid, for your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth is to bear you a son and you shall name him John. He will be your joy and delight and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord; he must drink no wine, no strong drink; even from his mother’s womb he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, and he will bring back many of the Israelites to the Lord their God. With the spirit and power of Elijah, he will go before him to reconcile fathers to their children and the disobedient to the good sense of the upright, preparing for the Lord a people fit for him.’

   

Marriage at Cana
  

(1)                                                        John 2: 1-11

The wedding at Cana

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee. The mother of Jesus was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited. And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’ This was the first of Jesus’ signs: it was at Cana in Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

(2)    Jesus changed water to wine.

(3)    Ponder the Power of God in these mysteries.

(4)    Think of this miracle.

(5)    Think of the miracles of Jesus.

(6)   ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Mark 9: 7

(7)    Hear the voice of the Father speak

(8)    Jesus is the Son of God.

(9)    God has all the power.

(10)   We can go to Mary and ask
            her to intercede for us 
            to God.
          She has powerful intercession.

   

The Kingdom of God
  

(1)    Jesus is the Lamb of God.

(2)    I heard the Father speak 
        on January 9, 1994

        "My gift to you is My Son. This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."
  

(3)    On January 9, 1996, I saw
            Jesus transfigured.

Excerpt from December 22, 1998

Messenger:  On January 9, 1996, I went to pray. The snow was so bad the street was blocked to Holy Cross-Immaculata. I finally managed to find a place to park and trudged through the snow, panting with joy to be with Our Lord in the tabernacle there. When I arrived all I could do was kneel before the Sacred Heart statue and pour out myself to Him.

On January 9, 1996, I would see Jesus transfigured before me in the statue.

(4)    Jesus is the King.

(5)    Jesus wants the picture of 
            the Sacred Heart in all
            homes.

(6)                                    Deuteronomy 7: 6-11       

For you are a people consecrated to Yahweh your God; of all the peoples on earth, you have been chosen by Yahweh your God to be his own people.

God’s election and his favour

‘Yahweh set his heart on you and chose you not because you were the most numerous of all peoples—for indeed you were the smallest of all—but because he loved you and meant to keep the oath which he swore to your ancestors: that was why Yahweh brought you out with his mighty hand and redeemed you from the place of slave–labour, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. From this you can see that Yahweh your God is the true God, the faithful God who, though he is true to his covenant and his faithful love for a thousand generations as regards those who love him and keep his commandments, punishes in their own persons those that hate him. He destroys anyone who hates him, without delay; and it is in their own persons that he punishes them.Hence, you must keep and observe the commandments, laws and customs which I am laying down for you today.
  

(7)                                        John 19: 31-37

The pierced Christ

It was the Day of Preparation, and to avoid the bodies’ remaining on the cross during the Sabbath—since that Sabbath was a day of special solemnity—the Jews asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken away. Consequently the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with him and then of the other. When they came to Jesus, they saw he was already dead, and so instead of breaking his legs one of the soldiers pierced his side with a lance; and immediately there came out blood and water. This is the evidence of one who saw it—true evidence, and he knows that what he says is true—and he gives it so that you may believe as well. Because all this happened to fulfil the words of scripture: 

   Not one bone of his will be broken; 

and again, in another place scripture says:

   They will look to the one
      whom they have pierced.

  

(8)                                        Luke 15: 3-7

So he told them this parable:

The lost sheep

‘Which one of you with a hundred sheep, if he lost one, would fail to leave the ninety–nine in the desert and go after the missing one till he found it? And when he found it, would he not joyfully take it on his shoulders and then, when he got home, call together his friends and neighbours, saying to them, "Rejoice with me, I have found my sheep that was lost." In the same way, I tell you, there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner repenting than over ninety–nine upright people who have no need of repentance.

   

(9)    God calls us to conversion.

(10)   God gives us the sacraments.
         Some of these sacraments are
           Baptism, Communion, and Penance

 

Transfiguration

(1)    I saw Jesus transfigured here
            several times January 1996.
 

Excerpt from December 22, 1998

Messenger:    On January 9, 1996, I went to pray. The snow was so bad the street was blocked to Holy Cross-Immaculata. I finally managed to find a place to park and trudged through the snow, panting with joy to be with Our Lord in the tabernacle there. When I arrived all I could do was kneel before the Sacred Heart statue and pour out myself to Him.

Please show a picture of the tabernacle and the Sacred Heart statue.

From my writings of January 9, 1996, I write:

"I was engulfed again in my love of God and cried so hard because I love Him so much. In this intimate act of giving myself totally to Him, my whole act was in emptying myself, wanting only to be lost in Him and united forever to Him in this most blissful moment. I turned myself over and was lost in Him, knowing His presence with me and knowing His deep love. The world stopped and I existed in Him, longing to forever stay there, so this moment would never end."

"I touched you, God and in this embrace I knew your unending love. I saw Your Body as if it was transfigured and glowing in light and I was lost in Thee."

This is how it began. I would see a great reflective light, as if from a mirror, on the eaves of the church in the front of Holy Cross-Immaculata and His Body was changed in the most brilliant light before my eyes. I cannot describe what I saw, nor have I ever seen it except in this vision and two that would follow the next two days. Jesus was transfigured before my eyes.

The date of January 9, 1996, when it first happened, was the same date January 9, 1994, when I genuflected before the crucifix and the altar at St. Gertrude's and the Father spoke; Blue Book II-page 18, January 9, 1994: "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

On January 9, 1996, I would see Jesus transfigured before me in the statue.

Excerpt from February 28, 1999

Messenger: I was in St. Gertrude's Church and I was in the front of the church. I was looking at the crucifix, and I heard the Father speak: "My gift to you is My Son. This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased."

    On the 20th of August, 1997, I was at St. Gertrude's and the Lord appeared transfigured on the cross. I heard the voice of the Father speak, "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased, listen to Him."

(4)     Fr. Carter used this writing I wrote
            in his Newsletter.

Excerpt from Newsletter 1998 Issue 1

    Here are certain reflections from a spiritual journal. Notice how Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and Mary enter into the person’s experience:

    "Well, the night was black, as black as black could be and the cold pierced my bones. I felt its chill go through my entire body and I wanted to scream and it happened—He gave me an outpouring of His life in my soul and my darkness was truly turned to light, another light, not the light of the eyes, a light of knowing God, the joy of beholding His heavenly embrace, the great illumination of another mystery. Oh such sweet gifts He gives when, in an instant, I pray my rosary and the Holy Spirit fills my heart with lights and the mystery lights up and I know, I just know, and I experience a great insight into God.

    "This is the reason for this letter, for I laid on my bed and I wanted to cry and I was deeply afraid for the demons pressed in as rocks poking at me and hurting my precious skin. I laid in bed and I went into the womb of my Mother Mary and I asked for the Holy Spirit to flood me with His light and it came: death-resurrection, darkness-light, sorrow-joy, suffering and pain, but oh, the joy of His light, the joy of His glory. It is in the death there is the resurrection.

    "So, I walk the road to Calvary. I mount the cross and I die. I offer sacrifice and in the morning when the night is done I see the glory of the resurrection. I experience His joy in my heart.

    "So I went to bed and went into the womb of my Mother Mary and the Holy Spirit flooded me with light and I united deeply to my precious Jesus on the cross. I know Him and His love. I reminisced on all the places of deepest intimacy I had shared with Him and my heart burned. I wanted Him to be so close to me, and I loved Him so much. I cried out, ‘I love you, I love you, I love you.’ In that moment I knew Him. He had removed my bonds and set me free. I then knew Jesus as never before.

    "I felt my great love for God the Father. I have been experiencing my littleness as a child and knowing my Father, seeing myself very little and knowing my Father and wanting as a little child to please Him. Then tonight I realized more His Fatherly love. I saw myself depending on Him, needing Him, crying to Him, loving Him and then I realized His might and love coming to me.

    "So I knew in an instant. He gives you a light and you know. I experienced the Trinity. My heart was consumed. I was engulfed in the love of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I stopped to be in the embrace, wanting it to never end, for in this embrace I felt peace, a peace I had not felt before, so different from the days that had proceeded this moment, the days of suffering and trial.

    "I mounted the cross. I felt the nails press deeply into my hands and feet. I felt the crown of thorns on my head. I said to Him, "Oh, why, my God, if you love me, do you make it so hard?

    "And then I pictured Jesus on the cross. I saw His mouth with blood running from the corner of it. I saw the body of one close to death. I saw His wounds, blistery and red, pouring out His precious blood. I saw the hollowness of His cheeks and the exhaustion of one ready to expire in death. I saw the anguishing Lord Who came to show us His way. His way is death and resurrection. His way is pain and glory. His way is the way to eternal life!"

Matthew 17: 1-8

The transfiguration

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as dazzling as light. And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them; they were talking with him. Then Peter spoke to Jesus. ‘Lord,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; if you want me to, I will make three shelters here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He was still speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and suddenly from the cloud there came a voice which said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’ When they heard this, the disciples fell on their faces, overcome with fear. But Jesus came up and touched them, saying, ‘Stand up, do not be afraid.’ And when they raised their eyes they saw no one but Jesus.

Last Supper

(1)    Excerpt from Newsletter March/April 1997

         Thoughts on the Mass

Vatican II tells us: "At the Last Supper, on the night when He was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic Sacrifice of His Body and Blood. He did this in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the Cross throughout the centuries until He should come again, and so to entrust to His beloved spouse, the Church, a memorial of His death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.

    "The church, therefore, earnestly desires that Christ's faithful, when present at the mystery of faith, should not be there as strangers or silent spectators. On the contrary, through a proper appreciation of the rites and prayers they should participate knowingly, devoutly, and actively. They should be instructed by God's word and be refreshed at the table of the Lord's body; they should give thanks to God; by offering the Immaculate Victim, not only through the hands of the priest, but also with him, they should learn to offer themselves too. Through Christ the Mediator, they should be drawn day by day into ever closer union with each other, so that finally God may be all in all."⁴

(2)    Excerpt from Newsletter March/April 1997

Here are thoughts from one woman's spiritual journal on the Mass:

    "The priest needs to feed the people with the love of God. When people come to the Mass and the sacraments, they are spiritually fed.

    "The world cries out to be fed. The Church is the body of Christ. Jesus has chosen each priest and anointed him as Christ alive in this world today. The greatest calling is to be called to be a holy priest by our Lord Himself. How dearly He loves His beloved priests and longs for their love. As He suffered so during His bitter Passion for the lack of love of some of His chosen priests betrothed to Him, He was comforted by His holy priests. Jesus truly loves His sacred priests.

    "Jesus must live in the priest. The priest's every action must be one with Jesus. He is a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

    "When a priest is filled with the love of Jesus, He will unite more deeply with Christ in the great sacrifice being offered to the Father. In the holy sacrifice of the Mass, the faithful will see Jesus through the priest offering sacrifice to the Father. We will lift our eyes and we will feel, at this great sacrifice, the presence of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We unite in offering sacrifice to the Father. We all unite as one and give ourselves in such oneness with Jesus, in such love to the Father, in the Holy Spirit. We die to all those things that are not of Him and join in this great miracle taking place. The Father looks down and He sees the sacrifice of His beautiful Son through the consecrated hands of His holy priests. Heaven unites to earth. Earth cries out in such jubilation at the great gift given from the Almighty God, and we unite as creatures giving ourselves as a sacrifice to our beloved Creator. Do we experience the presence of God as His power flows through the hands of a man, the priest who takes ordinary bread and wine and changes them into the Body and Blood of our Lord? Do we hear Jesus cry out, as He did at the last supper, with the intensity in His voice reflecting all knowledge of the upcoming events of His passion and death?

    "Do we hear the priest say the words of consecration with the emotion of Jesus, about to give His life for His beloved souls? And the earth stands still. There is, at that moment, the sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present through the hands of the priest. Oh, that God so loved this world to give His only Son as a sacrifice and that God wants us in this deep oneness with Him. I give You myself, my beautiful God, as You so willingly gave Yourself to me on Calvary. I want to die with You.

    "Love between two persons is mutual giving. It is interaction between two people. It is intimacy. It is dependent on how much we give. We receive intimacy, interaction, according to how much we put into it. God gives His all. We see Him hanging, covered with blood, crowned with thorns, hands and feet pierced. We see His precious heart, font of life and love and mercy, pierced. This is freedom. He shows us the way. We give ourselves. We sacrifice and beg to be made holy, beg to be like Him in this holy sacrifice. The most important aspect of our offering sacrifice is how we are in our heart. Are we one with Jesus, giving ourselves to our beloved Father Who is all worthy of our love? Who are we that God loves us creatures so much that He, Almighty God, becomes present, no less present than the day He walked this earth, through the hands of a man, and we take it so lightly. Think of Jesus calling out. Raise the Host high, beloved priests. This is the Son of God and you have been given the greatest honor on this earth.

    "God comes to us. He gives Himself to us. Let us see ourselves as one in Him. Let us unite. Let us look at ourselves, all creatures of our beloved God, God, all Holy, all Magnificent, Almighty, all Powerful, and see what He gives us. Let us see ourselves as His creatures and Him as the Creator, and look at ourselves and see how we, and all men, are offending our precious God. As we unite, we beg, beg, with this holy sacrifice of His Son, for mercy. We watch it flow from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the font of grace and mercy, the pierced Heart of Jesus, through the heart of Mary, by the hands of the priest, who is one with Jesus, to us. We are so joined in such oneness with the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We have given ourselves to Them. It is here, united to Christ in such oneness, that my sacrifice is received by the loving hands of the Father. It is in this oneness that He pours out His grace. We unite through Him, with Him, and in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, and we beg for mercy as His creatures who have offended our beloved God. This is our gift to You, our beloved Father. As Vatican II says, in union with the priest, we offer the Son to the Father. We give Him the greatest thanks for this holy and living sacrifice. We unite with the whole Church. We ask to be nourished by His Body and Blood, to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and increasingly become one body in Him. We join with Mary and all the saints and constantly plead for help through this sacrifice. Through this sacrifice may we make peace with You and peace for the salvation of the whole world. We pray in love and faith for your pilgrim Church, for the Pope, our bishop and all bishops, all clergy and all people. We ask the Father to hear the prayers of His family and ask Him in mercy and love to unite all children the world over. We ask the Father to take all our brothers and sisters that have died, that were good, into heaven. And we pray that we will have the vision of Your glory, through Christ, Our Lord, and we pray through Him, with Him and in Him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit. All glory and honor is Yours, Almighty Father, forever and ever.

    "We pray to the Father, with all our hearts and all our love, the 'Our Father.' We say every word. We say with such love, 'Our Father,' we pray that Thy kingdom comes on earth as it is in heaven. We want this kingdom here, we are all brothers and sisters and God is our Father and we want all men doing His will. We ask to be fed both spiritually and physically every day. We beg to be free from evil and have peace. We ask Him to keep us free from sin and anxiety and hope for His coming. We pray that the kingdom and power and the glory are God's now and forever. We give to each other peace and we beg for forgiveness and mercy. We are sinful, but we want mercy. We stand. We should shout out to the Father, "Look how sinful we are!" We beg for mercy for our sins and those of all men.

    "I experience the action of the Holy Spirit in a special way from the Consecration of the Mass. It fills me with such anticipation to receive Jesus, and I want to be holy. From the Consecration, I give myself to the Father, united in the Holy Spirit, in a special way. Consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, I experience God. I love the Mass so much. The rest of this book that follows are my experiences during Mass, after Communion, and other times. Many are experiences at Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. For four months straight I experienced special moments with my beloved Jesus there daily."⁵

A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

    Pope John-Paul II gives us these inspiring words: "Be blessed above all things, Handmaid of the Lord, who obeyed the Divine Call in the fullest way! Be greeted, you who united yourself entirely with your Son's redemptive consecration! Mother of the Church! Enlighten the People of God on the way of faith, hope and charity! Help us to live with all the truth of the consecration of Christ for the entire human family in the contemporary world. By entrusting, O Mother, the world, all individuals and all peoples to you, we also entrust to you the very consecration of the world, putting it in your Maternal Heart.

    "O, Immaculate Heart! Help us to overcome the threat of evil, which so easily takes root in the hearts of men today and, with the incommensurable effects, already weighs upon our contemporary existence and seems to close the way toward the future.

    "Free us from hunger and war! From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, free us! From the sin against the life of man at its dawning, free us! From the hatred and debasement of the children of God, free us! From every kind of injustice, national and international, free us! From the ease treading down God's commandments, free us! From sins against the Holy Spirit, free us! Free us!

    Receive, O Mother of Christ, this cry charged with the sufferings of all mankind! Charged with the suffering of entire societies. Reveal yourself once again, in the story of the world, to be merciful! May this cry halt evil! May it transform consciences!
May the light of hope, reveal itself to all in your Immaculate Heart! Amen".¹⁴

Excerpt from Mass Book

January 2, 1997

"In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen."

"The grace of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all."

God pours out His grace in this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is the greatest gift when God gives Himself to us.

We share with God His life, given to us abundantly in the Mass.

He gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him. The great love affair between God and man: His Holy Mass.

The priest is another Christ to us. It is Christ present, through the priest, celebrating the Mass. We must see Christ in the priest, see Him celebrate the Mass, see His beautiful brown hair, His gentle face, see Him, our Savior. This Jesus Christ that came was born an infant and gave Himself to His death on the cross that we would share His life. See Him now in the Mass, giving Himself in the greatest gift of all. He gives us His divine love and His divine life.

Oh, we thank You for Your life. We know Jesus died and rose and gave

us a sharing in His holy life. His life is now abundantly poured, as a fountain to us, especially in the Mass.

Then we hear His word. Let the word of God penetrate our being. Let us feel this Living Word of God. As a two-edged sword, it comes forth with such conviction and love and it penetrates the souls of the faithful with such love. It is food indeed, food for our soul.

He is the Good Shepherd. He speaks to us. He gives us all we want. "Yahweh is my shepherd, I lack nothing." (Ps. 23:1)

He gives us green pastures, and His water pours out and refreshes us. He outpours His grace as a fountain to feed us with His life.

He is a just God, good and kind, all loving, for He is Love. We want for nothing for He outpours His love and His life to us in the Mass. We feast on His Body and Blood and are fed with His Word. We become one in Him and He shares Himself with us.

It is through the Mass celebrated by the hands of a holy priest that we will experience the Mass the way Christ intends. These writings are insights which hopefully will help lead you to the spring of life-giving water, the fountain of love and life He outpours in the Mass.

There will be a new earth when men will see with the light of seven suns. They will know God. A people walking in darkness will see a great light. They will no longer be blind, they will be enlightened, they will love God with the greatest love in the Mass. They will feast on His Body and Blood and will be united as one body in His holy Church through His life given to us in the Eucharist.

We will drink copiously from the fountain of grace which He pours out in the Mass. We will be filled with His love, absorbed with the love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and feasting on His divine life.

We see with the vision of God. We partake in such a union with God. We see with the light the Spirit gives to us. The priest celebrates the Mass and we know God with such an intense knowing in this union. We are saturated with His life flowing from the hands of His consecrated priest.

And I look at Him, the priest, and I see Jesus there. I see Him giving Himself to Me. I see the new and Holy City. I see with such clarity the great gift that God gives to us in the Mass!

We learn how to love in the Mass, for we unite to God. He gives us such an intimate sharing in His divine love that we carry His love out to the world. In this union we know His loving to an intense degree and we carry this love out to others. We share in an intense way in His divine act of loving. He, Who is love, gives Himself to us and we are absorbed in His love and we know intensely how God loves. We are filled with love for God and for each other, for, in the oneness He is loving through us. He gives us lights into His loving capacity and we know His loving power in an intensity we did not know before.

We then pray. We offer up our intentions for this Mass. It is now we who intercede to Him to outpour His grace on us and help us with these intentions.

We pray for this reign of peace when the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph and men will fervently love and adore God with burning love. We pray for all souls and the Church and we beg for His help, His love, His grace.

We offer ourselves as a sacrifice. We offer the bread that will become the bread of life.

The priest mixes the water and the wine and we realize how His Divinity mixes with our humanity.

We offer the wine that will become our spiritual drink-His blood.

I give myself to Him and I beg to be cleansed of my sins with the washing of the hands.

"May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of His name, for our good and the good of all His Church."

We ask Him to accept the gifts we want to give Him, we give Him thanks, we lift up our hearts in thanks and praise and we sing out:

"Holy, Holy God, of power and might…" we sing Him praise and thank Him-oh, God we love Thee so much."

My heart is so filled with such awe. I cry because I love Him so much.

Every word in the Mass, I love. The priest consecrates the host and changes it into the Body and Blood of Christ.

Oh, it makes me cry for I am so struck with awe at what happens at the Consecration. I unite in the oneness with the priest, with Christ and with all present, with heaven and earth. I am one in that moment, united in the sacrifice of Christ giving Himself to the Father.

This is the moment when I unite in such oneness with Christ in the purity of Mary's heart. I give myself as a sacrifice. I offer myself to the Father.

The Father looks down and He sees us united to His Son's Sacrifice. It is in this oneness that His grace is outpoured on us, that we die to that which is not like Him and that the Holy Spirit works in the heart of Mary and fills us with His life.

I am in ecstasy as I realize more and more the great gift of love that God gives us in His holy Mass. I am taken to such heights, being wrapped in the presence of God. It is rapture, this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

It is a great gift, experiencing this intense presence of the Almighty God: Through Him, With Him, and In Him.

We pray to the Father the prayer as Jesus taught us and beg, "thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

We pray: "For the Kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever."

We beg for peace in our hearts. We share this peace with one another. Then we beg of the Lamb of God. I want to get down to the ground and beg for His grace, mercy and forgiveness for our sins.

Please, God, I see us as a sinful people. I want the grace and mercy to flow abundantly.

He raises the Host and says: "This is the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world, happy are those who are called to His supper."

We respond: "Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed."

I receive the Almighty God in Communion. All I want is Him. Oh, God, I want you, I adore you, I worship you, I love you.

Oh, for this moment when God gives Himself to me. Oh, God, words do not express this time-this intense presence of You within my being. Oh, sweet Savior, I love You!

You share Yourself so intimately with me. You imprint on my soul a knowing of Your Divine Being that is so intimate in this Communion when You give Yourself to me.

Oh, let our hearts be open to His grace that we may know this great gift more, that we will partake more fully in this greatest act of love with Divinity.

He shares Himself with us, the Almighty God, in such oneness. This is the greatest way to bind us with each other, to unite with each other in the Mass and Communion.

And so I sing the love of God, the love of His Mass. I beg you to pray for the grace that He can teach you in these writings about His most intimate love affair with man, the gift of Himself-the gift He gives us in the Mass.

The Holy Sacrifice, the sacrifice of Calvary, sacramentally-made-present in the Mass when He gives Himself to us with the greatest love!

And what does He ask in return? He asks that we love one another, that we give Him the glory, the thanksgiving, the adoration that is His due as the Almighty God.

He sends us forth with His blessing to share His most intimate love with all. We go forth as other Christs in the world. For He is alive this day and He lives in us and He gives His love to others through us. We act as channels of His life to one another.

The Mass is the richest source of His life. His life flows through the body, the Church, especially through the Sacraments and the Mass.

Oh Jesus, from the fountain of life that pours forth from Your pierced Heart, give us holy priests whose hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to celebrate the Mass-that there is such oneness between the priest and Christ that His grace will flow copiously.

We thirst for the fountain of life pouring forth from the pierced Heart of Christ. It is His life we seek and find in the Church. It is His love we want and we experience the greatest love affair with God in the Mass.

These books on the Mass are accounts of my intimate love affair with our Almighty God. Many experiences were enlightenments I received in the Mass.

I strongly advise all to pray, to say the Holy Spirit Prayer, the Consecration Prayers, and the Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, before Mass. (These prayers follow this message).

This book is the journey into the red room, the inner chamber of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, through the gateway, the pure and Immaculate Heart of His Mother.

It is in the Mass we give ourselves in such love to our Holy God. He gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him.

    In conclusion, we remind ourselves that the struggle against sin is part of the Christian participation in Christ's death-resurrection. In baptism we die to sin and rise to a newness of life. We are constantly living out one aspect of our baptism, then, through our continual resistance to the forces of sin. As with all elements of our Christian existence, such an effort requires motivation. We can use a variety of motives, of course, but all of them ultimately will be centered in Christ. To grow in the realization of what sin has cost Christ is to grow in the determination to avoid sin. To permeate such determination with love of Christ is to respond to Him who has loved us first: "The life I now live in this body I live in faith: faith in the Son of God who loved me and who sacrificed himself for my sake." (Ga 2:20).

   
9.    Excerpt from Response In Christ by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.

    Christian penance does not have the same basic purpose as self-discipline. Christian self-discipline looks rather to the proper living of the Christian life in the present and future, whereas penance looks to the sinful past. Penance, therefore, is a virtue which includes a sorrow for sin, a purpose of amendment, and a desire to make atonement or satisfaction for sin. As with the entire Christian life, penance is primarily, although not exclusively, an interior attitude.⁶

  
10.    Excerpt from Response In Christ by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.

    Penance, or satisfaction for sin, is an essential part of the life of the Church and the individual Christian because both are called upon to continue Christ's redemptive Incarnation. One aspect of Christ's redemptive work consisted in making satisfaction for sin. This aspect of Christ's life should always be part of the Church's existence and that of the individual Christian. Furthermore, certain members of the Church are called to give special attention to the prolongation of Christ making satisfaction for sin. In this category are those who are called to a form of religious life primarily dedicated to making reparation for sin.

3.    Excerpt from the Daily Messages December 22, 1998

Messenger:    On January 9, 1996, I went to pray. The snow was so bad the street was blocked to Holy Cross-Immaculata. I finally managed to find a place to park and trudged through the snow, panting with joy to be with Our Lord in the tabernacle there. When I arrived all I could do was kneel before the Sacred Heart statue and pour out myself to Him.

Please show a picture of the tabernacle and the Sacred Heart statue.

From my writings of January 9, 1996, I write:

"I was engulfed again in my love of God and cried so hard because I love Him so much. In this intimate act of giving myself totally to Him, my whole act was in emptying myself, wanting only to be lost in Him and united forever to Him in this most blissful moment. I turned myself over and was lost in Him, knowing His presence with me and knowing His deep love. The world stopped and I existed in Him, longing to forever stay there, so this moment would never end."

"I touched you, God and in this embrace I knew your unending love. I saw Your Body as if it was transfigured and glowing in light and I was lost in Thee."

This is how it began. I would see a great reflective light, as if from a mirror, on the eaves of the church in the front of Holy Cross-Immaculata and His Body was changed in the most brilliant light before my eyes. I cannot describe what I saw, nor have I ever seen it except in this vision and two that would follow the next two days. Jesus was transfigured before my eyes.

The date of January 9, 1996, when it first happened, was the same date January 9, 1994, when I genuflected before the crucifix and the altar at St. Gertrude's and the Father spoke; Blue Book II-page 18, January 9, 1994: "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

On January 9, 1996, I would see Jesus transfigured before me in the statue.

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his face shone like the sun and his clothes became as dazzling as light. And suddenly Moses and Elijah appeared to them; they were talking with him. Then Peter spoke to Jesus. ‘Lord,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; if you want me to, I will make three shelters here, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He was still speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and suddenly from the cloud there came a voice which said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’ When they heard this, the disciples fell on their faces, overcome with fear. But Jesus came up and touched them, saying, ‘Stand up, do not be afraid.’ And when they raised their eyes they saw no one but Jesus.

    At the Last Supper, on the night He was betrayed, our Saviour instituted the Eucharistic Sacrifice of His Body and Blood. He did this in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the Cross throughout the centuries until He should come again, and so to entrust to His beloved spouse, the Church, a memorial of His death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a paschal banquet in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us. (Vatican II, Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, No. 17)¹¹

2.    Excerpt from Newsletter 1999 Issue 3 by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.

    The Church, therefore, earnestly desires that Christ's faithful, when present at this mystery of faith, should not be there as strangers or silent spectators. On the contrary, through a proper appreciation of the rites and prayers they should participate knowingly, devoutly, and actively. They should be instructed by God's word and be refreshed at the table of the Lord's body; they should give thanks to God; by offering the Immaculate Victim, not only through the hands of the priest, but also with him, they should learn to offer themselves too. Through Christ the Mediator, they should be drawn day by day into ever closer union with God and with each other, so that finally God may be all in all.

3.    Excerpt from Newsletter 1999 Issue 3 by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.

    Through the Eucharistic Sacrifice Christ the Lord desired to set before us in a very special way this remarkable union whereby we are united one with another and with our divine Head, a union that no word of praise can ever sufficiently express. For in this sacrifice the sacred ministers act not only as the representative of our Saviour, but as the representative of the whole Mystical Body and of each one of the faithful. Again, in this act of sacrifice, the faithful of Christ, united by the common bond of devotion and prayer, offer to the eternal Father through the hands of the priest, whose prayer alone has made it present on the altar, the Immaculate Lamb, the most acceptable victim of praise and propitiation for the Church's universal need. Moreover, just as the divine Redeemer, while dying on the Cross, offered Himself to the eternal Father as Head of the whole human race, so now, 'in this clean oblation' He not only offers Himself as Head of the Church to His heavenly Father but in Himself His mystical members as well. He embraces them all, yes, even the weaker and more ailing members, with the deepest love of His Heart. (Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis AAS. XXXV, 232-233)¹³

    Fr. Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R., gives us these thoughts concerning the revival of Eucharistic devotion: "Eucharistic devotions of all kinds are coming back. A legitimate question is why...There is, I think, a historical reason that needs to be considered--especially by those interested in the pastoral life of the Church. We live in very lonely times...¹⁴

    "It should be no surprise then that the mysterious and personal presence of Christ should have a profound human appeal. Nor need there be any fear that this devotion could lead to any kind of spiritual isolation, so long as we carefully keep the Eucharistic Presence linked with the Paschal mystery which encompasses all men and women, and with Holy Communion, which draws together all the faithful disciples of Christ."¹⁴

    Mother Teresa of Calcutta shares these thoughts with us: "I make a holy hour each day in the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. All my sisters of the Missionaries of Charity make a daily holy hour, as well, because we find that through our daily holy hour our love for Jesus becomes more intimate, our love for each other more understanding, and our love for the poor more compassionate. Our holy hour is our daily family prayer where we get together and pray the Rosary before the exposed Blessed Sacrament for the first half hour, and the second half hour we pray in silence. Our adoration has doubled our vocations. In 1963, we were making a weekly hour together, but it was not until 1973, when we began our daily holy hour that our community started to grow and blossom."¹⁵

7.    Excerpt from Newsletter 1999 Issue 3 by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.

    Here is a Eucharistic prayer: "Lord Jesus. I love you so much! Help me grow in love for you. Help me to grow in the realization of the great love with which Your Heart beat for me upon Calvary. Let me grasp, with deeper knowledge, that Your Heart was pierced on Calvary with a soldier's lance for love of me. Take me, Jesus, ever more closely to Your pierced, glorified, Eucharistic Heart. And there, let me draw faith from this burning furnace of charity. Thus, strengthened, refreshed, and encouraged, let me go forth to live the Mass all day, every day."

8.    Excerpt from Newsletter 1999 Issue 3 by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.

    The theologian, Jean Galot,S.J. reminds the priest of his special conformity to Christ: "What distinguishes the priestly character from the characters impressed by baptism and confirmation is that man's being is conformed to Christ the Shepherd. The image of the good shepherd is impressed on the soul of the ordained person as a principle and basic blueprint of the ministry to be carried out."¹⁷

9.    Excerpt from Newsletter 1999 Issue 3 by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.

    "In consequence, there emerges from the priestly character the capacity to make the Lord present. If the priest is 'another Christ' in a special way, this is not due to a merely juridical delegation but to the figure of Christ Priest and Shepherd impressed on the soul..."¹⁷

10.    Excerpt from Newsletter 1999 Issue 3 by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.

    "This means that, more so than the ordinary Christian, the priest is called to take Christ as his model in all his behavior. The priestly character is the gospel imprinted on personal being, the gospel striving to achieve revelation of itself. The priest cannot act consistently with what he is unless he lets himself be permeated ever more deeply by the spirit of the gospel. He must carry in his own self the genuine traits of the Savior, and he must let them radiate."¹⁷

    Christopher O'Donnell, O. Carm., tells this concerning St. Therese of Lisieux: "Given Therese's deep appreciation of the priestly vocation it clearly pained her to see priests who did not seek God with undivided love...Her ministry of intercession was above all concerned with priests. Therese is very taken up with a specific Carmelite charism of prayer for priests (and theologians), which is derived from Teresa of Avila."¹⁸

Baptism of Jesus

1.    Matthew 3: 13-17

Then Jesus appeared: he came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John. John tried to dissuade him, with the words, ‘It is I who need baptism from you, and yet you come to me!’ But Jesus replied, ‘Leave it like this for the time being; it is fitting that we should, in this way, do all that uprightness demands.’ Then John gave in to him. 

    And when Jesus had been baptised he at once came up from the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on him. And suddenly there was a voice from heaven, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.’

  
2.      1 Chronicles 29: 11

Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the splendour, length of days and glory, everything in heaven and on earth is yours. Yours is the sovereignty, Yahweh; you are exalted, supreme over all.

 
3.    

Isaiah 40: 3-5

A voice cries, ‘Prepare in the desert 
a way for Yahweh. 
Make a straight highway for our God 
across the wastelands. 
Let every valley be filled in, 
every mountain and hill be levelled, 
every cliff become a plateau, 
every escarpment a plain; 
then the glory of Yahweh will be revealed 
and all humanity will see it together, 
for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.

   
4.    Luke 4: 14-22

Jesus, with the power of the Spirit in him, returned to Galilee; and his reputation spread throughout the countryside. He taught in their synagogues and everyone glorified him.

He came to Nazara, where he had been brought up, and went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day as he usually did. He stood up to read, and they handed him the scroll of the prophet Isaiah. Unrolling the scroll he found the place where it is written: The spirit of the Lord is on me, for he has anointed me to bring the good news to the afflicted. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives, sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim a year of favour from the Lord. He then rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the assistant and sat down. And all eyes in the synagogue were fixed on him. Then he began to speak to them, ‘This text is being fulfilled today even while you are listening.’ And he won the approval of all, and they were astonished by the gracious words that came from his lips. They said, ‘This is Joseph’s son, surely?’

    
5.    Christ lived a very hidden life 
            for so many years.

  
6.    The Baptism of Jesus marks 
            an important point in His life.

  
7.    We look at the beginning of 
            Jesus' public life.

  
8.    Jesus called His Apostles.

  
9.    Jesus is the Son of God — we
            hear the Father speak —
            we see the heaven open up —

  
10.   What Jesus first said to me when I
            began receiving messages at
            the end of October 1991 was this

            Jesus said "I am Jesus, I am the Son of God"
           He said "God has all the power"

    In October — 3 years later He gave me this song ——

        July 31, 1994

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

9.    Jesus performed miracles —
            Jesus walked on the water —
            Jesus fed four thousand —
            Jesus cleansed the leper —
            Jesus healed the centurion's servant —
            Jesus cured Peter's Mother-in-Law

            Jesus performed many miracles —

                He drove out demons and
                He cured the sick.
                He calmed the sea.
                He healed the paralytic.
                He brought the dead back to life.
                He healed the blind man.
                He healed the mute.

  
10.    Matthew 11: 2-6

Now John had heard in prison what Christ was doing and he sent his disciples to ask him, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or are we to expect someone else?’ Jesus answered, ‘Go back and tell John what you hear and see; the blind see again, and the lame walk, those suffering from virulent skin–diseases are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life and the good news is proclaimed to the poor; and blessed is anyone who does not find me a cause of falling.’

  

         

  

    

The Kingdom of God

1.    He called the twelve 
            to follow Him.

Matthew 10: 5-15

These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them as follows: ‘Do not make your way to gentile territory, and do not enter any Samaritan town; go instead to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. And as you go, proclaim that the kingdom of Heaven is close at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those suffering from virulent skin–diseases, drive out devils. You received without charge, give without charge. Provide yourselves with no gold or silver, not even with coppers for your purses, with no haversack for the journey or spare tunic or footwear or a staff, for the labourer deserves his keep. ‘Whatever town or village you go into, seek out someone worthy and stay with him until you leave. As you enter his house, salute it, and if the house deserves it, may your peace come upon it; if it does not, may your peace come back to you. And if anyone does not welcome you or listen to what you have to say, as you walk out of the house or town shake the dust from your feet. In truth I tell you, on the Day of Judgement it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

  
2.    Matthew 10: 16

Look, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be cunning as snakes and yet innocent as doves.   

3.    Excerpt from October 14, 1998 Daily Message

July 4, 1996

This message was received before a live statue of the Sorrowful Mother after Communion.

Message from Jesus: "Peace will abound when nations, churches, families and individuals are consecrated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary."
"Fr. Carter is a pillar of light to the dark world. This is the explanation of the photo. It is through him, I will turn darkness to light. Circulate this message with the picture. Encourage all to consecrate their hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to join the Shepherds of Christ Chapters, and the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement to pray for your Church and your world. This is My Movement for renewal of the Church and the world, based in consecration, joining your every act to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying the rosary, and making reparation to Our Hearts, especially on First Fridays and First Saturdays. It is through your prayers and sacrifices many souls will be helped to be saved. Grace will flow from those whose hearts are consecrated to Our Hearts and the fire of My Love will light up this darkened world."

4.    Excerpt from October 14, 1998 Daily Message 

Jesus speaks:  My beloved priest-son Father Carter is writing the newsletter for priests. I have summoned him to spread this to all priests in the world. I wish particularly that bishops receive the newsletter books 1 and 2 and supply the newsletters to their priests.

My Mother wishes the bishops to consecrate their dioceses to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart. In circulating the newsletter you are reaching the bishops with My instrument to lead the priests and bishops into consecration. The first book of newsletters has received the Imprimatur. I would ask that the second book be completed immediately and that you seek the Imprimatur. I wish all to help to put these books and newsletters in the hands of priests, bishops and cardinals all over the world. This instrument will majorly help lead the priests into Our Hearts through consecration

I wish all priests, bishops and cardinals to consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I wish all schools and churches to consecrate to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I wish all families to consecrate to Our Hearts. I wish priests daily to consecrate the world to the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart. I will reign as the King in all hearts and My Mother will be the Queen of their hearts.

I wish you to pray the Our Father. Every time you pray this prayer, you are praying for the Reign of My Heart in all hearts.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

I ask all receiving this message to circulate it and to help to reach the priests with the newsletter. I am the Good Shepherd, I am Chief Shepherd of the flock. I wish My priests to lead the fold into My Sacred Heart. My Sacred Heart is their home.

  
5.    Ezekiel 34: 11-16

    “For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it. As a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness. I shall bring them back from the peoples where they are; I shall gather them back from the countries and bring them back to their own land. I shall pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the inhabited parts of the country. I shall feed them in good pasturage; the highest mountains of Israel will be their grazing ground. There they will rest in good grazing grounds; they will browse in rich pastures on the mountains of Israel. I myself shall pasture my sheep, I myself shall give them rest–declares the Lord Yahweh. I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and make the sick strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd to them."

  
6.    Excerpt from October 14, 1998 Daily Message

Jesus speaks:  I ask further that priests and people pray the prayers I give in the prayer manual (Shepherds of Christ Manual) for the priests and the renewal of the Church and the world. When you pray these prayers of consecration as a body in the churches you will be united in great oneness in Our Hearts.

  
7.    Revelation 19: 5-9

    Then a voice came from the throne; it said, ‘Praise our God, you servants of his and those who fear him, small and great alike.’ And I heard what seemed to be the voices of a huge crowd, like the sound of the ocean or the great roar of thunder, answering, ‘Alleluia! The reign of the Lord our God Almighty has begun; let us be glad and joyful and give glory to God, because this is the time for the marriage of the Lamb. His bride is ready, and she has been able to dress herself in dazzling white linen, because her linen is made of the good deeds of the saints.’ The angel said, ‘Write this, “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb,” ’ and he added, ‘These words of God are true.’

8.    Excerpt from October 14, 1998 Daily Message

Jesus speaks:  Adam and Eve sinned and their souls were tainted. I am the New Adam and Mary is the New Eve. We come with Our pure and holy Hearts. Many men will dwell in Our Hearts.

In the beginning of the Bible is the fall of Adam and Eve.

In the Book of Revelation the victor will wear the white robe.

I have asked Father Carter to help lead the priests and the people into the depth of My Heart, by giving the priestly newsletter and My prayers, the prayers of the Good Shepherd, to the priests and people.

The victor will dwell in Our Hearts. Men's hearts are transformed more and more into the image and likeness of God as they dwell in Our Hearts.

Why offer an impure or tainted sacrifice, when you can offer a most holy sacrifice dwelling in Our Hearts? I give you My Heart on fire for love of you.

  
9.    Revelation 4: 11

You are worthy, our Lord and God, 
to receive glory and honour and power, 
for you made the whole universe; 
by your will, when it did not exist, 
    it was created. 
    

Revelation 7: 15-17

That is why they are standing in front of God’s throne and serving him day and night in his sanctuary; and the One who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them. They will never hunger or thirst again; sun and scorching wind will never plague them, because the Lamb who is at the heart of the throne will be their shepherd and will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.’

   
10.    Revelation 21: 3-7

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.

Moreover, just as the divine Redeemer, while dying on the Cross, offered Himself to the eternal Father as Head of the whole human race, so now, 'in this clean oblation' He not only offers Himself as Head of the Church to His heavenly Father but in Himself His mystical members as well. He embraces them all, yes, even the weaker and more ailing members, with the deepest love of His Heart. (Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis AAS. XXXV, 232-233)¹³

    Fr. Benedict Groeschel, C.F.R., gives us these thoughts concerning the revival of Eucharistic devotion: "Eucharistic devotions of all kinds are coming back. A legitimate question is why...There is, I think, a historical reason that needs to be considered--especially by those interested in the pastoral life of the Church. We live in very lonely times...¹⁴

    "It should be no surprise then that the mysterious and personal presence of Christ should have a profound human appeal. Nor need there be any fear that this devotion could lead to any kind of spiritual isolation, so long as we carefully keep the Eucharistic Presence linked with the Paschal mystery which encompasses all men and women, and with Holy Communion, which draws together all the faithful disciples of Christ."¹⁴

7.   Excerpt from Newsletter 1999 Issue 3 by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.

    Mother Teresa of Calcutta shares these thoughts with us: "I make a holy hour each day in the presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. All my sisters of the Missionaries of Charity make a daily holy hour, as well, because we find that through our daily holy hour our love for Jesus becomes more intimate, our love for each other more understanding, and our love for the poor more compassionate. Our holy hour is our daily family prayer where we get together and pray the Rosary before the exposed Blessed Sacrament for the first half hour, and the second half hour we pray in silence. Our adoration has doubled our vocations. In 1963, we were making a weekly hour together, but it was not until 1973, when we began our daily holy hour that our community started to grow and blossom."¹⁵

8.    Excerpt from Newsletter 1999 Issue 3 by Father Edward J. Carter, S.J.

    Here is a Eucharistic prayer: "Lord Jesus. I love you so much! Help me grow in love for you. Help me to grow in the realization of the great love with which Your Heart beat for me upon Calvary. Let me grasp, with deeper knowledge, that Your Heart was pierced on Calvary with a soldier's lance for love of me. Take me, Jesus, ever more closely to Your pierced, glorified, Eucharistic Heart. And there, let me draw faith from this burning furnace of charity. Thus, strengthened, refreshed, and encouraged, let me go forth to live the Mass all day, every day."

9.    Excerpt from Blue Book I, December 27, 1993, The Bridegroom Awaits

Your bridegroom awaits you. Prepare yourself for the wedding. Come, pure and white, and anticipate this union with eagerness. I love you so, My child. You will never find a speck on this earth that can compare with the love of God. Search, you feeble creature, for worldly satisfaction and you will never satisfy one little part of your soul. Your soul can only be satisfied by the love of God. It stalks your restless heart and is only satisfied in God. It craves God like an appetite except that it is much stronger. What is in your heart that is never satisfied by your worldly way? It is the soul that craves union with God. It constantly keeps you in a state of unrest, of searching, of seeking, of looking for more. The more is found in the Eucharist. It is the answer to the empty heart. It is the love you seek, but cannot find anywhere else. It is Jesus, child. It is your Bridegroom. Come and be in Communion with Him. He awaits you and bids you to come, pure in your heart, to the wedding-the wedding of your soul.

  
10.    Excerpt from Blue Book I, December 27, 1993, The Bridegroom Awaits

The way to God is through Jesus. You need the Spirit. You need the Father. You need all three. Pray to be made whole in the Holy Trinity. Pray for union with God. Pray for the things of the soul. When your soul is in order, all else falls into order. You needn't pray for things of the world. Pray to know Me more fully. Pray for unity with God. Pray for opening in your hearts. Pray for holiness. Pray for faith, hope, charity. Pray for knowledge of how to please God. These are the true treasures. All else is of no account. Don't recite prayers for worldly things. Pray for your union with God. This is what it is all about!

Baptism of Jesus

1.   Jesus spoke to us when He was on
         the earth.

2.   Some of what He said is recorded in
         the Scriptures.

3.   We can envision the baptism of Jesus.

4.    We can envision the heavens open
         above Jesus and see the
         Holy Spirit above Him.

5.   We can think of the words the Father   
         said.

        Mark 1: 11
            And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; 
                my favour rests on you.’

6.   The Father tells us in those words that
         Jesus is His Son.           

7.    Today many do not believe Jesus is 
         the Son of God. 

8.     If we read the scriptures it is made
         so very clear to us that Jesus is the
         Son of God. 

 9.    We can hear the words about the 
          oneness of God in scriptures.

10.   Meditating on this mystery should
          help deepen our love for the Trinity,
          Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

  

  

This is the opposite end of the building
where Mary appears in Clearwater, Florida.

           

    

   

    

   

Wedding at Cana

1.    In reading the scriptures we can see
           that Jesus performed many
           miracles when He was on earth.

2.    We see God's glory in this miracle    
            at Cana.

3.    When we meditate on this mystery —
            It may remind us of the power the
                priest has to change wine
                into the Blood of Christ.

4.    I see Mary on the building in Florida
            and I can see her change on the 
            5th to rainbow gold and 
            then gold, it happens right before
            many people and many see this.

5.   I believe God is so close to me.

6.    I saw Mary appear every day for 14
            months.

7.    Jesus performed miracles.
        He can give a grace and change men's
            hearts.     

 8.    We have to really never lose heart in our
            prayers.      

 9.    Mary told the servants to 

       John 2: 5  ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ 

10.    God has all the Power.
         God created the earth.
         God gives us the sun for the sunlight.
         God can give us a sign.
         At Fatima the sun looked like it would
            come crashing to the earth.

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

    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⁾

Note: 2. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.7-8.
 

            God wants us to obey the commandments.

            Here are the images on the building in 
               Clearwater. They have been there
               since December 17, 1996.       

      

     

     

   

   

The Kingdom of God

1.    Jesus is the Son of God.    

2.    The Father said
        Mark 9: 7
            ...‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’

3.    Christ is the center of our life.    

4.    Matthew 5: 17-20

‘Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete them. In truth I tell you, till heaven and earth disappear, not one dot, not one little stroke, is to disappear from the Law until all its purpose is achieved. Therefore, anyone who infringes even one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be considered the least in the kingdom of Heaven; but the person who keeps them and teaches them will be considered great in the kingdom of Heaven.

‘For I tell you, if your uprightness does not surpass that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never get into the kingdom of Heaven.

  
5.    Matthew 7: 21-23     

‘It is not anyone who says to me, "Lord, Lord," who will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but the person who does the will of my Father in heaven. When the day comes many will say to me, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, drive out demons in your name, work many miracles in your name?" Then I shall tell them to their faces: I have never known you; away from me, all evil doers!

  
6.    Say the Our Father

The Our Father

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

  
7.    In Acts Chapter 1: 3 it says of Jesus

        He had shown himself alive to them after his Passion 
        by many demonstrations: for forty days he had continued
        to appear to them and tell them about the kingdom of God. (Acts 1: 3)

8.    Jesus speaks:  
            My beloved souls come to Me and they do
                not realize how I wait and long
                for them to come to Me and pray to Me.
            I am truly present in the Blessed Sacrament.

9.    Jesus speaks: 
            Consecrate your hearts to My Sacred Heart.
             I want to be the King and Center of your hearts.

10.    Jesus speaks:
            Consecrate your hearts and all places to My 
            Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart of My Mother.   

        

     

  

  

Transfiguration 

1.    Jesus speaks: 
            I am Jesus, I have appeared to you that you
                will tell the world how very much I love
                them and spread the devotion to My Sacred
                Heart and the Immaculate Heart of My Mother.

2.   Jesus speaks: 
            I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus, I have
                appeared to you in the front of 
                Holy Cross-Immaculata Church, high
                on the hill in January 1996.
 

 

                The devotion to Me there is very strong on
                    Good Friday.

                On December 5, 1996 after continual visits
                    from My Mother as Our Lady of Light
                    I appeared at the point of death on the
                    cross with a message given to you that
                    night "no one was listening to Me."

3.   Jesus speaks: 
            On January 11, 1997 the Father spoke to you.
                I reveal to you the Plan of My Father.

4.    Jesus speaks: 
            The Father allowed Mary to appear December 17,
                1996. You had received the message
                that she would no longer appear as
                she once appeared. 

5.    Jesus speaks:
            We have given to you these images on 
                the window of My Two Hearts
                Building.

6.    Jesus speaks:
            I am God,
                I give you a sign, a sign from 
                the Divine God, I am speaking in
                these messages.

    
7.    Jesus speaks: 
            On February 5, 2000, I appeared transfigured
                in the Sacred Heart statue below
                the images.
            That very night one year later I gave to you a
                beautiful gift. Here is how I appeared
                that night one year later February 5, 2001.
  

February 5, 2001

   
8.    Jesus speaks:
            Now My rosary factory in the Two Hearts
                Building has been closed.

9.    Jesus speaks:
            Now there are not beads for My rosary
                makers and My children in the
                schools and My priests in Africa, 
                there is not postage to send the few
                rosaries available.

10.   Here is the message of Mary December 19, 1996.

December 19, 1996 

Mary:  My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.

    I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.

    I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book.

  

  

   

 

  

Last Supper

1.    Excerpt from God's Blue Book, April 13, 1994

    Words of Jesus. Read before the Tabernacle.

Jesus speaks:  How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the Cross.

2.   Jesus speaks: 
         My people, I give you Myself today
             in the Holy Eucharist.

3.   Jesus speaks:
          My people, My priests are precious
              gifts I give you.

4.       

  
5.   Jesus speaks: 
         My people, I love you so very much —
             pray deeply for the Reign of My
             Sacred Heart when you attend Mass. 

6.   Jesus speaks: 
          My people, Pray the people of the earth
                recognize more the great gifts they are
                given in the priest and the Church.     

7.   Jesus speaks:
            My people, I love you so much, I want
                you to receive Me in the Eucharist.
 

8.   Excerpt from Tell My People - 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!"

Reflection: Pope John Paul II has often expressed his belief in the importance of Fatima. It also appears that the Fatima prayer of Eucharistic reparation is meant in a most special way for the present times
  

9.  

  

10.   Jesus speaks:
            My people, I gave My life for you, I give you 
                Myself today in the Holy Eucharist.
            This is My Movement, Shepherds of Christ, to 
                help bring about the Reign of My Heart and triumph
                of Mary's Immaculate Heart.

     And they ran out of wine, since the wine provided for the feast had all been used, and the mother  of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.’ Jesus said, ‘Woman, what do you want from me? My hour has not come yet.’ His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ There were six stone water jars standing there, meant for the ablutions that are customary among the Jews: each could hold twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water,’ and they filled them to the brim. Then he said to them, ‘Draw some out now and take it to the president of the feast.’ They did this; the president tasted the water, and it had turned into wine. Having no idea where it came from—though the servants who had drawn the water knew—the president of the feast called the bridegroom and said, ‘Everyone serves good wine first and the worse wine when the guests are well wined; but you have kept the best wine till now.’

10. Jesus wants us to ask Mary to
        intercede for us to God.

4. Here is a picture where Jesus appeared in
        the Sacred Heart statue.
  

  

5. Here is what I wrote-

Excerpt from the Daily Messages December 22, 1998

Messenger:  On January 9, 1996, I went to pray. The snow was so bad the street was blocked to Holy Cross-Immaculata. I finally managed to find a place to park and trudged through the snow, panting with joy to be with Our Lord in the tabernacle there. When I arrived all I could do was kneel before the Sacred Heart statue and pour out myself to Him.

From my writings of January 9, 1996, I write:

"I was engulfed again in my love of God and cried so hard because I love Him so much. In this intimate act of giving myself totally to Him, my whole act was in emptying myself, wanting only to be lost in Him and united forever to Him in this most blissful moment. I turned myself over and was lost in Him, knowing His presence with me and knowing His deep love. The world stopped and I existed in Him, longing to forever stay there, so this moment would never end."

"I touched you, God and in this embrace I knew your unending love. I saw Your Body as if it was transfigured and glowing in light and I was lost in Thee."

This is how it began. I would see a great reflective light, as if from a mirror, on the eaves of the church in the front of Holy Cross-Immaculata and His Body was changed in the most brilliant light before my eyes. I cannot describe what I saw, nor have I ever seen it except in this vision and two that would follow the next two days. Jesus was transfigured before my eyes.

The date of January 9, 1996, when it first happened, was the same date January 9, 1994, when I genuflected before the crucifix and the altar at St. Gertrude's and the Father spoke; Blue Book II-page 18, January 9, 1994: "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased."

On January 9, 1996, I would see Jesus transfigured before me in the statue.
  

6. When Jesus appeared the light was so awesome I
        cannot describe, sometimes I see the light
        like that at Mary's image site.

7. Jesus appeared transfigured below
        Mary's image when we opened the
        Rosary factory February 5, 2000.
        Our Founder Fr. Carter was there. He
        blessed the rosary factory.

8. Mary and Jesus want us to pray the rosary.

9. The pope is the person on earth in the highest place
        in the Church.

10. The pope told us to meditate on these Mysteries of light.
        These mysteries help draw us closer to
        our beloved Jesus, the Sacred Heart,
        He loves us so much.

  

  

  

The Last Supper

1. Here are some words from scripture
        about the Last Supper.

2. Luke 22: 14-20

    When the time came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, ‘I have ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; because, I tell you, I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’
    Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and share it among you, because from now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.’

The institution of the Eucharist

    Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.

3. Judas was there at the last supper.

4. Here is what Jesus said about the
        betrayal of Judas

5. Luke 22:21-22 

    ‘But look, here with me on the table is the hand of the man who is betraying me. The Son of man is indeed on the path which was decreed, but alas for that man by whom he is betrayed!

6. Jesus gives us Himself in the Holy         Eucharist. 7. He comes to us in a special way. 8. He wants us to receive Him. 9. He can fill us with so much grace         when we receive Him. We should                     ask for special grace to love Him         more deeply.

10. Jesus wants us to come to Him like little
        children and tell Him how much we love Him.
        We should spend time with Him after we receive the
        Eucharist.

Mysteries of Light for Children

  

  

Baptism of Jesus

1.    These are mysteries of light.

2.   Matthew 3: 13-15       

Then Jesus appeared: he came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John. John tried to dissuade him, with the words, ‘It is I who need baptism from you, and yet you come to me!’ But Jesus replied, ‘Leave it like this for the time being; it is fitting that we should, in this way, do all that uprightness demands.’ Then John gave in to him.

3.  Jesus speaks:
        Oh children your Father loves you so much.

4.  Jesus speaks: 
        Oh children God the Father is with you —

     John 3: 17 

       For God sent his Son into the world 
       not to judge the world,
       but so that through him
          the world might be saved.

5.  Jesus speaks: 
        God the Father loves you so very much.

6.  John 3: 17 

       For God sent his Son into the world 
       not to judge the world,
       but so that through him
          the world might be saved.

7.   Luke 3: 4-6

      as it is written in the book of the sayings of Isaiah the prophet:

 A voice of one that cries in the desert:
 Prepare a way for the Lord,
 make his paths straight!
 Let every valley be filled in,
 every mountain and hill be levelled,
 winding ways be straightened
 and rough roads made smooth,
 and all humanity
    will see the salvation of God.

8.   Jesus is the Light of the World. 

9.   Isaiah 40: 3-5

            A voice cries, ‘Prepare in the desert 
        a way for Yahweh.
        Make a straight highway for our God
        across the wastelands.
        Let every valley be filled in,
        every mountain and hill be levelled,
        every cliff become a plateau,
        every escarpment a plain;
        then the glory of Yahweh will be revealed
        and all humanity will see it together,
        for the mouth of Yahweh has spoken.’ 

10.  Isaiah 30: 19

            Yes, people of Zion living in Jerusalem,
         you will weep no more.
         He will be gracious to you
            when your cry for help rings out;
         as soon as he hears it,
             he will answer you.

      

   

   

   

   

Marriage at Cana

1.   Jesus performed many miracles when
         He was on earth.

2.   Mary told Jesus about the wine.

3.   Jesus performed a miracle, He turned
         water into wine. 

4.   Jesus is with us today. He gives us
          Himself in the Holy Eucharist. 

5.   We receive a sharing in His life
          through baptism. 

6.   There are so many things we do everyday,
           Jesus wants us to take time to be alone
           with Him — He loves us so much —
            He wants us to give Him our love.

7.    Luke 7: 18-23

The disciples of John gave him all this news, and John, summoning two of his disciples, sent them to the Lord to ask, ‘Are you the one who is to come, or are we to expect someone else?’ When the men reached Jesus they said, ‘John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask, "Are you the one who is to come or are we to expect someone else?" ’ At that very time he cured many people of diseases and afflictions and of evil spirits, and gave the gift of sight to many who were blind. Then he gave the messengers their answer, ‘Go back and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind see again, the lame walk, those suffering from virulent skin–diseases are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, the good news is proclaimed to the poor; and blessed is anyone who does not find me a cause of falling.’

8.   Jesus cured the sick, Jesus gave sight
         to the blind.

9.   Today Jesus is with us. He is truly present in the 
          Eucharist. He is no less present than when He
          walked the earth.

10.  Jesus wants us to read the Scripture
          and read about His life and read
          about the miracles He performed
          and think about them.

  

  

  

  

Kingdom of God

1.  Matthew 9: 35----10: 1, 5a, 6-8

 Jesus made a tour through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing all kinds of disease and all kinds of illness.
    And when he saw the crowds he felt sorry for them because they were harassed and dejected, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is rich but the labourers are few, so ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers to his harvest.’

He summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to drive them out and to cure all kinds of disease and all kinds of illness. These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them as follows:  go instead to the lost sheep of the House of Israel. And as you go, proclaim that the kingdom of Heaven is close at hand. Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those suffering from virulent skin–diseases, drive out devils. You received without charge, give without charge.

2.   I love the feast of Christ the King, it
         is on a Sunday in late November.

3.   We can honor Jesus, our beloved King, in a
         special way that day.

4.   The reading at Mass from the Scriptures help to
         feed us.

5.   We should pray for light to understand the Scripture and
           pray to have a deep love for God's Word. 

6.   When we are troubled about what to do in our
           lives it may help us to read the scriptures.

7.   We need to study them and make reading them an
           important part of our daily life.

8.    Jesus tells us about Himself in the Scriptures —
           He tells us about His love for us and the
           Love of the Father.

9.    The Holy Spirit can fill our hearts with
           love for God and all men, we must
           pray to the Holy Spirit for knowledge,
           for light and to love with a heart on
           fire for God and our brothers.

10.   Jesus is the Light of the World.

   

  

  

  

Transfiguration

1.    Daniel 7: 9-10, 13-14

            While I was watching, 
        thrones were set in place
        and one most venerable took his seat.
        His robe was white as snow,
        the hair of his head as pure as wool.
        His throne was a blaze of flames,
        its wheels were a burning fire.
        A stream of fire poured out,
        issuing from his presence.
        A thousand thousand waited on him,
        ten thousand times ten thousand
           stood before him.
        The court was in session
        and the books lay open.

        I was gazing into the visions of the night,
       when I saw,
           coming on the clouds of heaven,
       as it were a son of man.
       He came to the One most venerable
       and was led into his presence.
       On him was conferred rule,
       honour and kingship,
       and all peoples, nations and languages
           became his servants.
       His rule is an everlasting rule
       which will never pass away,
       and his kingship will never come to an end.

2.    Psalm 97: 1-2, 5-6, 9 

            Yahweh is king! Let earth rejoice, 
        the many isles be glad!
        Cloud, black cloud enfolds him,
        saving justice and judgement the foundations of his throne.

         The mountains melt like wax,
        before the Lord of all the earth.
        The heavens proclaim his saving justice,
        all nations see his glory.

         For you are Yahweh,
        Most High over all the earth,
        far transcending all gods.

3.   2 Peter 1: 16-19          

When we told you about the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, we were not slavishly repeating cleverly invented myths; no, we had seen his majesty with our own eyes. He was honoured and glorified by God the Father, when a voice came to him from the transcendent Glory, This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour.  We ourselves heard this voice from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

So we have confirmation of the words of the prophets; and you will be right to pay attention to it as to a lamp for lighting a way through the dark, until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds.

4.    Matthew 17: 5

           ...‘This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.’

5.   Mark 9: 2-10            

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, ‘Rabbi,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.

As they were coming down from the mountain he warned them to tell no one what they had seen, until after the Son of man had risen from the dead. They observed the warning faithfully, though among themselves they discussed what ‘rising from the dead’ could mean.

6.    God is all powerful.

7.    God loves us so very much, He sent His only
            begotten Son.

8.    Today God gives us Himself in the Eucharist. 

9.    Today God has asked us to pray for our priests,
            the Church and the world.

10.  God is light and in Him there is no
       darkness. God wants the children
       to be children of the light. God
       wants us to be united in love.
       God wants us to pray to Him and
       ask for help. God wants
       us to turn our lives over to Him.
       Jesus is the light of the world.

The Last Supper

1.   Oh God I long to receive You 
       in the Holy Eucharist.
       I long to taste Your goodness.
       Oh God we love the Church so much.
       Oh God we thank You for the priest.
       We love the priests so much.

2.    

  

3.    Sometimes we are tired and we go a long
       time without even praying. God wants
       us to pray to Him. Jesus wants us to 
       come and adore Him before the Blessed
       Sacrament at Church. Jesus pours
       out His grace to us.

4.    Jesus wants us to receive Him in the
       Holy Eucharist — He gives us the
       priests and the Church.

5.    Matthew 18: 1-5            

At this time the disciples came to Jesus and said, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ So he called a little child to him whom he set among them. Then he said, ‘In truth I tell you, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. And so, the one who makes himself as little as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven.

‘Anyone who welcomes one little child like this in my name welcomes me.

6.   John 6: 48-51

 I am the bread of life.
 Your fathers ate manna in the desert
 and they are dead;
 but this is the bread
    which comes down from heaven,
 so that a person may eat it and not die.
 I am the living bread
    which has come down from heaven.
 Anyone who eats this bread 
    will live for ever;
 and the bread that I shall give
 is my flesh, for the life of the world.’

8.    Excerpt from God's Blue Book December 27, 1993 - 4:00a.m.

Jesus speaks:  You enter My church, you walk My aisle. Your bridegroom awaits you in Communion. I am the bridegroom of your hearts. I come with such love to enter your soul. I am He Who walks with you to be united in Communion. I am Jesus. I am your true Love. I wait for you, My child. Please clean yourself up for My arrival! Think of My coming the day before and eagerly await our union. This is the greatest event of your life, union with God. Anticipate it with such eagerness, as the wedding of our hearts. I await you, little ones. I am God. What could this world ever give you that can be likened to God's entering your soul?

9.   Excerpt from God's Blue Book, April 13, 1994

       Words of Jesus. Read before the Tabernacle.

Jesus speaks:  How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the Cross.

10.  Excerpt from God's Blue Book February 23, 1994 5:30 a.m.

Jesus speaks:  I am the light of the world. A city on a hill will shine to the world. You at the Center will be this city when you are filled to the brim with the love of Jesus. What power, what might, to have each person a personal spouse of Jesus Christ! This is the light to the darkened world. The love of Jesus radiates from the very being of those who love Him. What light when all together are lifted by His love abounding deep within their breasts!

Baptism of Jesus

1.    In these mysteries of light as I meditate
        on them I know more deeply the

1.   From meditating on this mystery,
        I live every day deeply going
        to Mary and asking her to
        intercede for me as she did at
        the Marriage of Cana.

2.   One time in Church during Mass, I
        saw a vision of Mary right in
        front of the priest.

        meditate on the miracles of Jesus.

        earth and do all I can to
        help save souls and reach them
        while I am here on earth.

10.  I give myself to Him. I am dependent
        on Him to mold me and make
        me more into what He wants me
        to be.

Genesis 1: 26-27

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.

6.   Ezekiel 34: 11-16

    “For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it. As a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness. I shall bring them back from the peoples where they are; I shall gather them back from the countries and bring them back to their own land. I shall pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the inhabited parts of the country. I shall feed them in good pasturage; the highest mountains of Israel will be their grazing ground. There they will rest in good grazing grounds; they will browse in rich pastures on the mountains of Israel. I myself shall pasture my sheep, I myself shall give them rest–declares the Lord Yahweh. I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and make the sick strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd to them."

7.   Our Holy Father has affected
        the whole world.

8.    God acts to help us through
        the Holy Father.

            will be done on earth
            as it is in heaven."

10.  Say the Our Father with all your
        heart meditating on each word 
        and praying so deeply to the Father.

The Our Father

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

        like that in the sky can we imagine
        the glories of heaven.

        greatest light under the image
        when we opened the Rosary

        rosary factory and I
        went outside and I saw Jesus
        transfigured in the Sacred Heart
        Statue under the image.

5.   The rosary is such a gift given to us.

6.   We receive light from the Holy Spirit
        when we fervently meditate on the
        mysteries of the rosary. 

7.    This was a message I received from
        Jesus that we received insight into
        the Divine Mysteries when we
        fervently meditated on the 
        Mysteries of the Rosary

8.    I feel as I have meditated on these
        mysteries of Light that the Holy Spirit
        has flooded my soul with special
        graces to understand the Holy Trinity
        more and love each Person more deeply.

Matthew 26: 26-29

Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had said the blessing he broke it and gave it to the disciples. ‘Take it and eat,’ he said, ‘this is my body.’ Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he handed it to them saying, ‘Drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. From now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the day I drink the new wine with you in the kingdom of my Father.’

2.    John 14: 1-4

   Do not let your hearts be troubled.
   You trust in God, trust also in me.
In my Father’s house
   there are many places to live in;
otherwise I would have told you.
I am going now to prepare a place for you,
and after I have gone
   and prepared you a place,
I shall return to take you to myself,
so that you may be with me
where I am.
You know the way
    to the place where I am going.

3.    John 14: 6-7

Jesus said:

I am the Way; I am Truth and Life.
No one can come to the Father
   except through me.
If you know me,
   you will know my Father too.
From this moment you know him
   and have seen him.

4.    John 14: 9-21

Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me?

   ‘Anyone who has seen me
       has seen the Father,
   so how can you say,
      "Show us the Father"?
   Do you not believe
   that I am in the Father
      and the Father is in me?
   What I say to you
       I do not speak of my own accord:
   it is the Father, living in me,
      who is doing his works.
   You must believe me when I say
    that I am in the Father
      and the Father is in me;
   or at least believe it
      on the evidence of these works.
   In all truth I tell you,
   whoever believes in me
   will perform the same works
      as I do myself,
   and will perform even greater works,
   because I am going to the Father.
   Whatever you ask in my name
       I will do,
   so that the Father may be glorified
       in the Son.
   If you ask me anything in my name,
   I will do it.
   If you love me
      you will keep my commandments.
   I shall ask the Father,
   and he will give you another Paraclete
   to be with you for ever,
   the Spirit of truth
   whom the world can never accept
   since it neither sees nor knows him;
   but you know him,
   because he is with you, he is in you.
   I shall not leave you orphans;
   I shall come to you.
   In a short time
      the world will no longer see me;
   but you will see that I live
   and you also will live.
   On that day
   you will know that I am in my Father
   and you in me and I in you.
   Whoever holds to my commandments
      and keeps them
    is the one who loves me;
   and whoever loves me
      will be loved by my Father,
   and I shall love him
      and reveal myself to him.’

5.    This is the First message
         Jesus wanted in Blue Book I
         May 13, 1993 (this was the 76th
         anniversary of the first apparition 
         of Mary at Fatima).  

6.     Excerpt from God's Blue Book - April 13, 1994

Jesus speaks:  How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the Cross.

7.       Luke 22: 19-20

Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.

8.    Jesus showed us He washed their feet at
            the last supper.

9.    There is so much to meditate on about the
            Last supper.

10.  Judas betrayed Jesus and he was one
         of Jesus apostles.

November 3, 1994 - Love Your Brothers As I Have Loved You

Jesus speaks:  I am watching you at the Center. My Heart is an endless furnace of love. I am waiting for your time with Me. I love you each so dearly. Your soul craves My love, but I sit alone and you complain about one another. I love you with an open Heart that is ablaze for love of you. Each child there, I love with the tenderest Heart. I died for each person, I would suffer and die for you this day. My Father created each child His special and loving child. You are a child of God! You are so loved. My Father gave you Me for love of you. The Holy Spirit loves you so intently and wants to give you such love. Love on fire! He wants to lead you to such great love of Me and My Father.

My beloved Mother, who suffered so for love of you, who stood by Me and shared in My Life, appears as Our Lady of Light to light your way to the love of her precious Son. She, who suffered and experienced joy with Me, she who from a young girl to an old woman knew the love of My Heart for you, appears to lead you to such love with My Sacred Heart. She wants you to come to her pure Heart and let her place you deeply in My Heart.

My dear children, loved by My Father and My Mother, let the Spirit sanctify you, let go and be led to the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am as present this day as the day I died on the cross. I am present in the Eucharist in My Divinity and Humanity. I am waiting for you in the tabernacle. I am waiting to give you My love. I pour Myself out to you.

You go into battle with your hearts filled with My love. I watch you battle everyday this spiritual battle. I cry out to you to return to holiness. I cry out to you to realize the divine love I pour out to you. Come back to love. Make Me the very center of your life. You will not light your city with hearts that are angry. It is only by the love of God that you will light your city. Come to the burning Heart of Jesus. Come to Him for your love.

I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I suffered so for those who neglect Me and My most precious love. I pour out to you Myself. I love you no less than the day I died.

Open your hearts to be hearts that are pure. Rid yourself of all hate and anger toward your brothers. Come from a heart that is pure. You cannot love Me if you do not love your brother, all your brothers. Look to your brother for the Jesus that lives in them. You must love every person. I command you to love God with your whole heart, your whole mind and your whole soul. I command you to love your neighbor as yourself.

I gave the last beat of My Heart for your brother. I live in your brother. Your Father created your brother. How can you say you love Me when you do not love your brother? I am in your brother, I love you all. I watch each of you. I love each of you and many times you hate one another. You are often divided because you are not coming to Me for your strength. You need to operate from love. Love one another. I watch you hate one another and then tell yourself you love Me. I love each person. You cannot light your city without the love of God alive in your hearts. To love God you must love your brother. To love your brother, pray to realize My love for you. Pray for grace. Pray for one another. Say the Morning Offering. You are the city of My love. Love gives, love is kind, love is compassionate, love finds its roots in the Eucharistic Christ.

Come to Me and I will pour My Heart out to you. These are the letters of My true love I pour out to you. I died for you. Why do you not think I would send you a letter of My love for you? I love you — these words are My love letters to you! These messages are My instructions for holiness and love of one another. Love one another as you realize My immense love for you. I talk directly to you and profess My deepest love. I give you songs of My greatest love. LOVE is active, LOVE is from the heart. LOVE is rooted in a pure heart. You cannot hate one person and love Me. LOVE is kind, LOVE is seeing Me in your brother. This is the mighty medicine to light your city of love.

Baptism of Jesus

1.     Jesus a boy in the temple

         Luke 2:49-52

He replied, ‘Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?’ But they did not understand what he meant.

He went down with them then and came to Nazareth and lived under their authority. His mother stored up all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature, and in favour with God and with people.

2.     Preaching of John the Baptist

        Luke 3: 4
        as it is written in the book of the sayings of Isaiah the prophet:

            A voice of one that cries in the desert:
            Prepare a way for the Lord,
            make his paths straight!

3.     The baptism of Jesus

       Luke 3: 21-22

Now it happened that when all the people had been baptised and while Jesus after his own baptism was at prayer, heaven opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in a physical form, like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son; today have I fathered you.’

4.     Luke 3: 23

When he began, Jesus was about thirty years old, being the son, as it was thought, of Joseph son of Heli,

5.     Luke 4:1

         Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the           desert,

6.     Luke 4: 14-15

Jesus, with the power of the Spirit in him, returned to Galilee; and his reputation spread throughout the countryside. He taught in their synagogues and everyone glorified him.

7.     Luke 4: 21-22

Then he began to speak to them, ‘This text is being fulfilled today even while you are listening.’ And he won the approval of all, and they were astonished by the gracious words  that came from his lips. They said, ‘This is Joseph’s son, surely?’

8.     Jesus was rejected in Nazareth

The people that first admired Jesus soon rejected Him.

9.     Luke 4: 28-30

When they heard this everyone in the synagogue was enraged. They sprang to their feet and hustled him out of the town; and they took him up to the brow of the hill their town was built on, intending to throw him off the cliff, but he passed straight through the crowd and walked away.

10.    Jesus was prophet, teacher, exorcist,
            healer and one who proclaimed God's kingdom.

  

  

  

  

   

Wedding at Cana

1.     The wedding at Cana was Jesus' first miracle.

2.     Jesus shows us His power.

3.     Jesus is the Light of the world.

4.     Luke 8:16

‘No one lights a lamp to cover it with a bowl or to put it under a bed. No, it is put on a lamp–stand so that people may see the light when they come in.

5.    Jesus called his apostles. Peter was a fisherman.

6.    Jesus calmed the storm.

7.    Luke 9:1

He called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all devils and to cure diseases,

8.     Jesus fed so many from the 5 loaves and two fish.

9.     Jesus is the Light of the world.

10.    We see His power all through the scriptures.
         Jesus is God. Jesus was rejected. Jesus did what
         He was called to do despite the people's actions.

   

 

  

  

Kingdom of God

1.    Luke 10: 21-22

Just at this time, filled with joy by the Holy Spirit, he said, ‘I bless you, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, for hiding these things from the learned and the clever and revealing them to little children. Yes, Father, for that is what it has pleased you to do. Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.’

2.    We are people of the Kingdom of God.

3.    God wants us to become like little children.
            God wants us to obey Him, as Our Father.

4.    Say the Our Father slowly.

The Our Father

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

5.   Excerpt from God's Blue Book 3 - May 9, 1994 After Communion - Walk in the Way of the Light

R. ...I have a free will. My path must be the path set by the Master. He leads, I follow. His ways are not always the ways I want to follow. I sometimes do not want to forgive. I do not want to let go of hurts when I have been wronged. I want to hold on and be angry. Walk in the way of the Lord! I do not want to obey when I have a letter that is not nice, but that I must deliver. I would rather be popular and not cause any discomfort. "Walk in the way of the Lord."

Is this the same as doing His Will? I wanted to sing in the choir at the Athenaeum. I liked it. I felt important. I was singing beautiful songs to God. He took my voice away! I finally saw what His Will was for me. I wanted something very much. He didn't want me there.

I can see now so many things I wanted. I wanted to play the music at daily Mass. 'What a good thing to do!', you say? He wanted me to go to Mass and listen to His words and spend time in adoration after Mass and write these letters...

6.    Excerpt from Response in Christ

    Every member of the People of God is called upon to continue the teaching mission of Christ. The baptized Christian is incorporated into Christ who is prophet, king and priest. This incorporation is further perfected through confirmation. Therefore each member within the Church receives a real share in the prophetic, kingly and priestly mission of Christ. In relation to our present topic concerning Christ as prophet or teacher, no member of the Church can excuse himself from carrying forward this particular mission of Christ. Some of the various possibilities open to all within the Church have already been suggested. We now emphasize a constant and ever available opportunity which is present to all, namely, the witness of a truly Christian life. A life constantly lived according to the truth and example of Christ is a powerful, persuasive witness to Christ and His message. Perhaps because there are too few such Christian witnesses, Christianity has failed to make the desired imprint upon civilization. For it is only when mankind sees the truth of Christ concretely lived out by Christians that such truth has the power to draw men to Christ and His Church in any great numbers.⁴

7.    Excerpt from Response in Christ

Vatican II reminds us that Christ is not only prophet, but also king: "Christ, becoming obedient even unto death and because of this exalted by the Father. . . , entered into the glory of His kingdom. To Him all things are made subject until he subjects himself and all created things to the Father that God may be all in all."⁵

Note:  5. Constitution on the Church, No. 36.

8.     Excerpt from Response in Christ

     Through His Incarnation, Christ as man became king over creation. In assuming a human nature, He united to Himself man and also the material creation below man. In the words of Teilhard de Chardin, Christ is the physical center of the Universe.⁶ Through His redemptive sacrifice, which is the culminating act of His Incarnation, Christ strengthened His title as king.

Note:  6. Cf. Christopher Mooney, Teilhard de Chardin and the Mystery of Christ (New York: Harper & Row, 1966), pp. 70-103.

9.    Excerpt from Response in Christ

     Christ has redeemed man, and as a consequence of man's redemption, the whole physical universe has been redeemed.⁷ The appropriateness of nonrational creation being redeemed together with man himself is evident. In God's original act of creation He gave man dominion over material creation. This part of creation was meant to serve man in his quest for happiness here and hereafter. With the intrusion of sin into God's creation, man and nonrational creation were both affected. Through his misuse of God's creation by sin, man not only puts disorder into himself, but also into the creation which he misuses.

Note:  7. Cf. S. Lyonnet, "The Redemption of the Universe" in The Church, compiled at the Canisianum, Innsbruck (New York: Kenedy, 1963), pp. 136-156.

10.    Excerpt from Response in Christ

     Christ's redemption is meant to restore the disarray caused by man's sinfulness. Christ through His redemptive grace desires to heal more and more the sinfulness of man as this affects man himself and man's relationship to the material universe. Christ as king wants His redemptive grace to spread out and touch deeply man and the physical universe. With grace man relates properly to the material universe, for he more and more brings the material universe back to its role in God's creation, namely, that it serve man in achieving his temporal and eternal happiness. What is man's happiness? Because of the Incarnation, there is now only one destiny for man both here and hereafter. That destiny is a supernatural one in Christ. The material universe, through Christ's redemptive Incarnation, has therefore entered into this supernatural structure. Man and the physical universe have both been marked with the blood of Christ. More and more they are to be Christianized, that is, ever more perfectly drawn into the supernatural order established by Christ and centered in Him.

  

 

 

 

Transfiguration

1.    Christ is our center.

2.    Excerpt from Response to God's Love

    Etymologically, the word mystery basically means that which is secret or hidden. It was used in a religiously technical sense even before Christianity. Mystery was used, for example, to designate certain religious rites of pagan Hellenism, secret rites that were closed to outsiders unless they had been properly initiated into them. In relation to Egyptian hermeticism, the word mystery was applied to initiation into secret religious ideas or doctrines. In reference to Christianity, God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.

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

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

3.    Excerpt from Newsletter 1999 Issue 1

    Here is one author's reflections on Jesus' friendship with St. John. It offers us an occasion to reflect upon our own friendship with Jesus. Fr. Jean Galot, S.J. says of Jesus and John:

    "Christ's friendship assumes different forms. His love for Peter and John appear to have been outstanding in the case of his disciples, but he loved them in different ways. His love for John is more tender, and John will be known 'as the disciple whom Jesus loved.' All the disciples were, of course, disciples whom Jesus loved, but the words indicate that he had a particularly tender love for John, a love corresponding to John's sensitive nature. John is attracted by Christ from the first moment he meets him. Until then, apparently, he had been a follower of John the Baptist in his search for an ideal way of life and a spiritual master. It is not difficult to understand that the gentle ways of Jesus must have made an immediate impression on him, compared with the harsh asceticism of the Baptist. He therefore abandons the company of the austere prophet who threatens the people with divine wrath to follow the 'lamb of God,' who has come to take away the sins of the world. He feels a special need for affection himself and is drawn to a Master whose preaching is so obviously inspired by his pity for the crowds and whose miraculous cures show that he is constantly moved by goodness. Hence he is the disciple who becomes the closest follower of Jesus, in the sense that he is the nearest to him and most sensitive to all the manifestations of his friendship. Along with Peter and James he witnesses the Transfiguration on Tabor and the agony in the garden at Gethsemane. But above all he has the good fortune to lie on Christ's breast at the Last Supper. The physical heart of Jesus has a particular meaning for him, and he abandons himself to it, so to speak. This action marks the climax of his friendship and expresses the full measure of his love; it is also destined to remain the permanent symbol of his love, for John will be called 'the disciple who leaned upon the breast of the Lord.' At Calvary John takes his place at the foot of the cross along with the woman, and Christ confides to him the one he holds dearest in this world, his own mother. He gives the most loving of his disciples his most tender gift. The friendship John has formed with the Son was destined to be continued with his mother in the same atmosphere of gentle affection. At Calvary John also witnesses something destined to make a profound impression upon him, the piercing of the side of Jesus by the spear of the soldier. The spear of course only pierces a dead body, but it reaches the human heart on which the beloved apostle has been leaning less than twenty-four hours before in a transport of love. In the same way that the gift of his heart on the previous evening had been a symbol of his great friendship for him, so the piercing of his side now appears to John as a symbol of a love which has suffered to the bitter end. This spectacle serves to bind him to Christ more than ever and puts the seal, as it were, on their friendship.

    John is the first of the apostles to arrive at the empty tomb on the morning of Easter. He is also the first one to recognize the Lord on the shore of the sea of Tiberias, because his love is more tender and therefore more perceptive. Finally, Christ promises John that his death shall be a prolongation of their friendship. The chief of the apostles is destined to undergo martyrdom, but John will only have to remain here until the Lord comes. His death will recall their intimacy at the Supper; Christ will simply come and allow the apostle's head to rest on his breast. The beautiful expression often used to describe a Christian death, 'going to sleep in the Lord', is especially applicable in the case of John, because he learned so well to know the meaning of that rest." ¹⁰

4.     Mark 9: 2-10

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and John and led them up a high mountain on their own by themselves. There in their presence he was transfigured: his clothes became brilliantly white, whiter than any earthly bleacher could make them. Elijah appeared to them with Moses; and they were talking to Jesus. Then Peter spoke to Jesus, ‘Rabbi,’ he said, ‘it is wonderful for us to be here; so let us make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.’ He did not know what to say; they were so frightened. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’ Then suddenly, when they looked round, they saw no one with them any more but only Jesus.

As they were coming down from the mountain he warned them to tell no one what they had seen, until after the Son of man had risen from the dead. They observed the warning faithfully, though among themselves they discussed what ‘rising from the dead’ could mean.

5.     Excerpt from February 28, 1999 daily message

Jesus speaks: I speak now of My transfiguration.

January 9, 1994, My messenger received a message from the Father.

Messenger: I was in St. Gertrude's Church and I was in the front of the church. I was looking at the crucifix, and I heard the Father speak: "My gift to you is My Son. This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased."

Please read the portion of the December 22, 1998 daily message that talks of this transfiguration when Christ appeared transfigured on January 9, 1996.

Messenger: On the 20th of August, 1997, I was at St. Gertrude's and the Lord appeared transfigured on the cross. I heard the voice of the Father speak, "This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased, listen to Him."

We must call to mind the apparition of Jesus on the cross, December 5, 1996, when He appeared at the point of death with His mouth moving.

Later that evening in the rosary He said He moved His mouth. He did not speak any words because He said, "No one was listening."

This message ends the fourth book of messages from heaven.

It is most appropriate that we end this book with the accounts of these transfiguration experiences.

The Father spoke to me, August 20, 1997: "This is My beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased, listen to Him."

Matthew 17:5

He was still speaking when suddenly a bright cloud covered them with shadow, and suddenly from the cloud there came a voice which said, 'This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.'

John 10:4-5

When he has brought out all those that are his, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow because they know his voice. They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him because they do not recognise the voice of strangers.'

Messenger: In Revelation when He speaks to the churches, He says:

Revelation 2:7

Let anyone who can hear, listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches: those who prove victorious I will feed from the tree of life set in God's paradise."
  

6.    Excerpt from January 11, 1997

God the Father speaks:  The plan will unfold. It is My plan.

I have delivered this message that you will know My plan is unfolding.

7.    August 27, 1999

On December 5, 1996, Jesus appeared dying on the cross His mouth moving. Later He said "no one was listening."

August 20, 1997, Jesus appeared transfigured on the cross at St. Gertrude's Church.The Father spoke. He said: This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased, listen to Him.

  

8.     Excerpt from May 21, 1999 Daily Message - Friday before Pentecost - 9:00 p.m.

Mary speaks: As my Son has told you in an earlier message:

(Messenger: I received this strong message WITH the intensity of knowing His suffering.)

Jesus speaks: I opened My Heart raw in these Blue Book messages and they persecuted My messenger and rejected My letters of LOVE.

Oh, My Heart in the garden was torn to shreds and I sweat Blood for the day, today, when heaven would give such gifts and be rejected by senseless, cold-hearted men.

They smite Me, they reject My messages. You think they hurt you, they hurt Me. I am the Almighty all-Perfect sinless God and the men reject Me and My Mother.

I opened Myself raw in every love letter and they reject Me.

Be one with Me, experience the rejection I felt in the garden. I sweat BLOOD!

Can you not watch and wait with Me one hour when I remain with you today?

YOU SAY, "NO" TO ME.

I experienced the pain of the garden.

I hung for 3 hours on the cross.

DO YOU SEE ME BLEED?

DO YOU SEE THE EXCRUCIATING PAIN I EXPERIENCED ON THE CROSS?

I BLED FOR THEM.

I DIED FOR THEM.

THEY REJECT ME.

     
9.    August 6, 1999

Messenger: Jesus gave Himself selflessly on the cross.

He poured out Himself in that act.

His whole act was that of giving His will in total surrender.

I ask you to know Jesus in this way of how He willed the salvation of every soul with the selfless giving of Himself in total surrender.

He willed it, He wanted every soul to be saved.

In His perfect consuming desire, He wanted to give Himself completely for the salvation of souls.

There is a purity of Jesus’ willing that we do not have.

I wish to stress the momentum of the act as Christ gave Himself for love of men and the consuming desire and wish to save souls which was in the very act of His selfless giving of Himself.

It is frustrating to be given such knowledge of the will and desire of that God-Man’s offering of Himself on the cross and be unable to express this knowledge in words when it seems so clear in my being exactly how it was from the experience He gave me.

My desire here is to impress upon the reader the purity of desire behind Christ’s selflessly giving of Himself. The God-Man willed this complete offering of Himself in complete purity. He was one in the Father’s will. The words in the Scripture:

Luke 22:42

‘Father,’ he said, ‘if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.’

and

Mark 15:34

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, ‘Eloi, eloi, lama sabachthani?’ which means, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’

may indicate an unwillingness in the minds of some. There was not any of this.

He willed His selfless offering, for He lives perfectly in the Father’s will. They are One.

The purity of the intention of this self giving gives us a greater understanding of the consuming love of Jesus in this act.

Father, Son and Holy Spirit were One willing this act of the Son giving Himself.

Jesus was consumed with love of man.

His love IS. This day His love is as great for us as the day He died on the cross.

I think of a man in a race trying with 100% will to finish first. He is consumed with the desire to finish, he gives his all as much as possible to finish first.

Jesus willed to give Himself as a most pure offering, far excelling any offering that any of us could make.

In experiencing with Him, to the extent He allowed me, His act of selfless giving of Himself. I saw the intention behind the act of Jesus’ wanting to save every soul. His offering was so pure with the intention of doing so in perfect conformity with the Father’s will. We do not have this capacity, but to some extent we can share in this way of willing because our wills are elevated to a greater capacity of loving through the life of sanctifying grace. And we grow in this capacity as we grow in the life of grace. We do partake in this way of willing.

But here again I want to describe the purity of the act of the Son willing the salvation of every soul and to emphasize the act as one of consuming love.

The other revelation I received when I experienced His death on the cross (to the capacity He allowed me) was a sampling of pure love.

There is no imperfection in His love. He loves souls so much and wants them to be saved as the Father wanted from the beginning.

I experienced such love for every soul with a perfection and purity of knowing only love, and from this love I had the desire that every man be saved and live according to the Father’s plan. The love for them and the desire for their salvation has a unity that I cannot describe on paper. God wills man to be with Him in heaven forever. God loves us. God gives man his freedom in this love for us. It is man through unrepented serious sin that condemns himself to life in hell. Because of the justice of God, man must be punished for sin, but God makes clear to man His mercy. His promise to Abraham and the words of Mary in the Magnificat confirm this promise of mercy.

But here again my intention now is to focus on the knowledge revealed to me in this experience of August 4, 1999.

I have an experience of the love of God and the purity of His love, to love men despite their sins.

When taken out of the experience in which my loving capacity was elevated to such a heightened level in Him, I suffer from my imperfections. I love imperfectly. The devil presses in to try to stop me from being loving. The desire was within me to love purely. I knew more of His pure love, but my capacity to love was not the same as when He had given me this great grace. At that time it was as if my imperfections did not exist and the devil was not taunting me to not love more purely.

I experienced this afterwards, a real battle to love as I wanted to and a pulling back in myself for fear I would be hurt and taken advantage of which would cause enormous hurt which I did not think I could bear. I wanted to pull back and protect myself. Whereas when I was in the experience, I only knew love and could go out of myself, loving all without fear. The self focus was not there.

I had been emptied by the effects of the act of loving on me and I only gave selflessly.

Now I am in this more usual state of existing. I experience fear, my imperfections, and lack of energy to just go out of myself and love selflessly.

My self holds me back as I discern what is safe and how I should love or not love. There is an impurity in my loving capacity and I am taunted by the evil one who tells me why it is unsafe to love and trust.

There is a limit to the love I wish to give.

There is a holding back.

There is a wanting to protect myself so I am not hurt.

This state is nothing like the experience I had of tasting His pure love.

It is being engulfed in fear and self doubt. It is full of imperfections. It pulls in, whereas He goes out. It is just hard to describe.

It is more focused on self, less focused on loving selflessly. 

1 John 3:2

My dear friends,
    we are already God’s children,
but what we shall be in the future
    has not yet been revealed.
We are well aware that when he appears
we shall be like him,
because we shall see him as he really is.
  

10.    Matthew 3: 17

            ...‘This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.’

        Messenger:  Jesus said over and over again in His
                            love letters, I am Jesus the Son of God.

  

  

  

  

  

  

The Last Supper

1.    Luke 22: 14-20           

When the time came he took his place at table, and the apostles with him. And he said to them, ‘I have ardently longed to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; because, I tell you, I shall not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’ Then, taking a cup, he gave thanks and said, ‘Take this and share it among you, because from now on, I tell you, I shall never again drink wine until the kingdom of God comes.’

Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you.

2.    Excerpt from God's Blue Book 3 - April 27, 1994

Jesus speaks:  I love you. I am Jesus. Come and be with Me in the Eucharist and in the tabernacle. I am waiting for you there in such a special way. I am your God. I love you. I never abandon you. I long for your love and your closeness. Let Me embrace you. I embrace you in your surrender. Our union depends on your selflessness and surrender to Me. Let Go. Be constantly with Me. Know Me, love Me, make Me your all.

I am Jesus, the Son of God. Let go. I love you. Jesus.

        3.    Excerpt from God's Blue Book 3 - April 3, 1994

 Jesus speaks:  I am Jesus, the Son of God. Oh, little one, such love I have for you. Do you even know? This is not a myth. This is real. I am real. The unseen world is real. It is your faith that will sustain you. I am Jesus, the Son of God, Rita. God is talking to you. You have a job to do for all My beloved ones. I love them so. I want you to tell them of My deep and ardent love. Surrender yourself into the arms of Him Who sustains you. I catch you. I cuddle you and you, child are not suspended in mid-air. You are held tight by the hands of God. I showed you the way, child. I let go on the cross. Life comes only in this surrendering. I let go, I died that I might rise again on Easter! You die to yourself that you will live in My love. You will rise victorious in the love of Jesus. Oh, child, I am so real and I love you. What can I do to tell you how I do love you!

        4.    April 2, 1994 —
                    Holy Saturday Fr. Carter received his
                        first public message. I hardly
                        knew him (Fr. Carter)
                    here is what I received

Excerpt from God's Blue Book 3 - April 2, 1994

Jesus speaks:  My child, you come in the night. I give you a message for this world. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. My beloved ones are hurting from all the evil in this world. I want you to preach of My love. I want you to tell all how I am truly present and I am waiting for My little ones to come to Me.

Preach the True Presence. Talk about Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and how He is alive and in the Eucharist and waiting in the tabernacle. Tell all Catholics or other faiths that the priest has the power to change bread and wine into My Body and My Blood.

Many Catholics do not realize that I, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, am present in the Eucharist. They come to My altar and receive Me and do not even think of Me. How this wounds My aching Heart. Tell priests to talk about the Eucharist and how Jesus, the Son of God, is truly present there.

I am God. I have all the healing any soul ever needs. If people come to Me, if they receive Me in Holy Communion, they are receiving God, fully present, into their breasts. Tell them to come with such reverence and devotion. Tell them to come with their hearts on fire. Tell them to receive Me and know that I am truly Jesus, the Son of God. Nothing can be more healing than receiving God in your breast. Nothing you ever do will compare to this union with God.

Tell all how I, Jesus, the Son of God, am truly present. I quiet their fears and I fill them with My peace. I know them far more than they know themselves. Come to Me, My little, beloved ones. Come and receive your God. Nothing you do all day can compare to receiving the Son of God inside of your breast. I am the bread of life. I feed you with My very own flesh and blood. I nourish you. I give you all you need. Nothing on the face of this earth can compare to My presence.

Come and let go of all your cares. Do not fret or fume as to what you are to wear or eat or do, or how you will live. Come and give Me yourself. I take care of all the birds of the air and lilies of the field. You, who are so much more precious-I come and I take care of you!

Give Me yourself. Spend time with Me. Surrender all that is dear to you. You, child, are receiving the one, true God. I await you with love, not condemnation. I await you with My arms open wide. I wait for you to come and be so close to Me.

Do not come bowed down. Satan constantly tells you you are not good enough. I look on you with such love! I await your union with Me.

You are a sinner. You make mistakes. You do not love when you can love. You do not obey and you do your own will constantly. You are ignorant. You do not even know how you choose selfish ways over loving ways. Say you are sorry at the beginning of Mass. Say you are sorry before you receive Me. Try to see how you can love your brothers more. Then, when you receive Me, forget your unworthiness and focus on My love. I can heal you, My sweet ones. I am God and I am truly present in the Eucharist. I give Myself to you in Holy Communion out of ardent love for you. If I, God, come to you with such love, do you not think I will shower you with My gifts when you come with your love and reverence?

Please, My children, think of My True Presence! Realize that I am God and I am coming and dwelling inside of you. Give Me all your cares. Come and give Me all your love. I am a real Person. I am truly present, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the meal you receive there.

Do not be busy for your earthly food. Feed your soul with manna from heaven. Fill your hearts with the presence of the Divine God. Oh, children, how do I get you to realize this is all you need? Come to Me every day. Do not ever miss a day when you could receive Me. This is more important than anything you do on this earth. This is more important than your food or your sleep. Little ones, you receive the Son of God there!

Oh, please open your eyes. Please preach My presence. Please tell all what a miracle you possess in the Eucharist. Tell all of My ardent, on-fire love for each child individually. Never miss an opportunity to receive Me.

I am Jesus, Son of God. The gift I give you is Myself. Come and receive Me, the Divine Healer, and ask for your healing. Come and give Me homage. Come and receive the one, true, magnificent God. Come one, come all. I love you each so uniquely with this ardent love. I await you this very day. I have all you need. Bring all your children to Me. Let your children know I am God and I am truly present in the Eucharist. Take them to Communion. Watch miracles happen in your life. Read the children these letters. Teach them young about My ardent love. This is the greatest gift you can give your beautiful children. Tell them how Jesus, the Son of God, awaits and loves them in the Eucharist.

Tell them what love I have for them. Teach the parents. Tell them to tell the very young how God is truly there waiting for them. Oh, what a gift for your child! Does any gift even come close to the gift of God Himself?

When you enkindle a love affair with Me, you will know that the things of this world are so empty. Nothing compares to the love of God. Nothing you buy or eat or do is even the tiniest comparison to Me. The more you enkindle this love affair with Me, the less other things will be important to you.

I am the Son of God. I come to you. Come and worship Me and be fed! The more you come to Me, the more you will realize that nothing compares to God inside you.

You develop your love affair with Me and I will tend to your life. You are drawn to Me like steel to a magnet. This magnetic attraction keeps you coming back. The soul is only fed by the love of God. My little dear ones, I have all you need. Do you not see the folly in your ways? Do you not feel all you receive when you come to Me? You want Me more, you seek Me more, you do not satisfy any part of your soul, with anything but God! All the roads you wander to receive such momentary gratification and you are left empty. I feed your starving soul. I am God. Nothing even comes close to Me.

I love you dearly. I am your ardent lover. I await you. I long for your love. I am alive. I am in your midst and I come to you in the Eucharist.

R. Alleluia. God has come in their midst and has showered each heart with His abundant love.

        5.    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

        6.    A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God in the sacrament of His greatest love.

    I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of greatest love to Him.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. May I help make reparation to His adorable Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.

    Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.

    Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act of my greatest love.

    Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass. Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass, You who are so worthy of my love.

        7.    A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.
  

        8.    Excerpt from God's Blue Book 3 - April 1, 1994

Jesus speaks:  Come and sit in front of the tabernacle. Let no man distract you-ever-or stop your time with Me. This is your food for your soul every day. Tell them to leave. Do whatever you have to do, but one solid, uninterrupted hour with Me will give you what you need!

        9.    Excerpt from God's Blue Book 3 - April 1, 1994

Jesus speaks:  Come and lay yourselves in My arms. I am waiting to caress and hold you. Put all doubt aside and feel My firm hold. No fear will befall you for I am holding you in My arms. Surrender to Me. Let go. Let Me run your life. Come and be with Me, My beloved ones. I wait for you in the tabernacle.

I am Jesus, the Son of God, and I wait for you, My precious ones. I love you!
  

  

        10.    All through the messages Jesus says,
                        "I am Jesus the Son of God."
                This is what many need to hear today.

                November 4, 2002 Jesus speaks —

                    Spread My Blue Book Messages, they
                        are My love letters to My precious
                        souls.
                        This is the mighty medicine I give —
                        Love letters about My love
                        and about My Divinity
                        and about the Eucharist.

                    The Eucharist — Oh My beloved
                        the Power is in the Eucharist
