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.


Messenger: Include Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center in 6:20 prayers.


Messenger: I drove past the cemetery and I heard Mary speak.

Mary speaks: My children,
The cemetery is full of the remains of those who once lived.

They had to surrender to God in the end.

You do not know the day nor the hour. My children, do all the emotions you hold onto matter if He called you today?

You are to be loving and are to help each other.

I have called you on this mission.

Mary speaks: My Son Jesus appeared February 5, 2000. How have you grown in your holiness this month?

How have you helped me to reach my children?

My children, I call you, please don't fight with your brothers.

Please, it is a ploy of the devil to get you focused on yourselves , to blame others and to stop my Rosary Factory.

Please help me. I want my Coloring Rosary Books to reach my children.

Help me reach the world with the rosary.


Genesis 3:1-24

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

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

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

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

   To the woman he said:

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

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

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

    The man named his wife 'Eve' because she was the mother of all those who live. Yahweh God made tunics of skins for the man and his wife and clothed them. Then Yahweh God said, 'Now that the man has become like one of us in knowing good from evil, he must not be allowed to reach out his hand and pick from the tree of life too, and eat and live for ever!' So Yahweh God expelled him from the garden of Eden, to till the soil from which he had been taken. He banished the man, and in front of the garden of Eden he posted the great winged creatures and the fiery flashing sword, to guard the way to the tree of life.


Mary speaks: People many times want to fix everybody else.

Your world has taught you so many imperfect ways.

Unless you look at yourselves and quit blaming others for your problems, you cannot have peace.

It is so hard to look at yourself and ask yourself to change a destructive habit. Only God's grace will help you.

How dark is your dark side?

If all your pleasures and comforts were removed, if the devil was permitted to taunt you mentally with ill thoughts, is your faith strong enough to endure and stay holy and rooted in God?

Our Lady of Grace

Mary speaks: I BEG YOU TO WORK TO GET the rosary with my picture and my message in all hands.

You will fight the devil with the rosary.

You need the rosary and need to know about the mysteries.

I am telling you this as your Mother.

Don't give in to Satan who has blocked my rosary for so long. I am counting on you to fight him. Quit focusing on each other, LOVE and get BUSY.

I gave you my Rosary Factory, please help me.

Rosary from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary

Mary speaks: MEN, HELP ME.

The devil has always fought MY ROSARY.

IT NEEDS TO BE IN THE HANDS OF YOUR CHILDREN.

The devil chides you and you give in.

The devil has blocked my rosary all century.

This is the year of my rosary.

I am Our Lady of the Rosary.

Rosary from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary


Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

The October 13 vision was accompanied by the great Miracle of the Sun described in the previous chapter. In her message that day, Our Blessed Mother told the children:

I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord any more, for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the Rosary. Let them continue saying it every day.17

17. Our Lady of Fatima’s Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983), p.7.


Mary speaks: THE DEVIL IS THE ENEMY, NOT EACH OTHER --

You must put your heads together and work to do what I am telling you to do, bear with each other.

Are you not grateful I picked you to serve me?

Please help me. I cry bloody tears for my children.

February 29, 2000 - Second Message

A Letter from Jesus for Apostles, Servants, Handmaids and interested Others

Jesus speaks: I AM the Good Shepherd, this is My Movement, I am Chief Shepherd of the Flock. I love you, I ask you to serve Me.


Revelation 12:9-11

The great dragon, the primeval serpent, known as the devil or Satan, who had led all the world astray, was hurled down to the earth and his angels were hurled down with him. Then I heard a voice shout from heaven, 'Salvation and power and empire for ever have been won by our God, and all authority for his Christ, now that the accuser, who accused our brothers day and night before our God, has been brought down. They have triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word to which they bore witness, because even in the face of death they did not cling to life.


Jesus speaks: YOU ARE BEING TESTED.

ARE YOU BELIEVING IN THE MESSAGES?

REMEMBER THAT

I WAS BEATEN,

I WAS CROWNED,

I WAS BLOODIED.

I endured the BRUTAL DEATH FOR YOU.

IN IT WAS THE RESURRECTION.

I LOOKED LIKE A "LOSER" ON THE CROSS.

I WAS THE ONE VICTORIOUS.

BLOODIED, BEATEN, AND PUT TO DEATH.

If one bad apple sits with other apples they all go bad.

If you do not do your part in the Movement, and the pain is so great inside, and you do not take responsibility for your own pain, but try to blame it on others, you will hurt others.

I am giving you a sharing in My Passion.

When one receives the stigmata the person has the wounds in the body.

You have the wounds in your hearts.

My Heart Bleeds Excerpt

God's Blue Book II Cover

March 6, 1994 Sunday Night

Jesus speaks: I am Jesus, Son of God. I truly suffered. Your heart is experiencing aching. I allow you to ache and feel some of My emotions. I am a person. When people love one another, they share each other's pain. Your heart aches as I, too, ache for love of My beloved ones. Preach about My aching heart.

Every soul has periods of unrest because the soul was made to love the Lord. Sunday is a day I let you suffer My aching heart. I want you to tell others how I ache for love of them. I allow you to suffer on Saturday and Sunday for My aching heart.

My heart is on fire for love of each soul and many do not ever come to Me. Some come to Me in Communion and the thought of Me never crosses their minds. How this wounds My aching heart! Such indifference! It pierces My heart and makes it bleed. You will never comprehend the love of God. You will never know how My heart aches. I let you feel this aching heart, to suffer with Me and tell others of My intense love for them. My indifferent loved ones are piercing My heart. I suffered for love of you.


Jesus speaks: Hell is utter pain and anguish, no love.

I have allowed you to undergo a hell-like experience.

The devil is full of hate.

You will reach out and there will be no relief.

Can you endure the bitter passion with me?

Will you obey the will of God as I did, to My death on the cross?

Do you take the cross and blame everyone around you and think you will find a reason why you feel so bad?

It is in identifying in My Passion, accepting the cross, not reaching out to make someone else a victim that great grace is released.

How would you learn to carry a cross if I didn't give you one?

I was in perfect peace while I died on the cross.

I suffered a brutal death.

I loved those who persecuted Me.

I speak of families -- dysfunctionally impaired.

Once one person in the family depends on alcohol or other addictive substances, the whole family is affected. They blame others while the devil controls the family and events as the substance controls the person.

Problems in families are to be brought to the foreground, in truth the events are to be brought forth. When a person has layers and layers of wounds and for one reason or another is in the depth of his heart, either by torments I may allow from the devil or from physical suffering, frustration, unmet expectations, whatever the reason, the person is left in a hidden layer of pain in his hurt.

He can:

  1. Look at himself and see if he can change anything,
  2. look at others and try to change them and the events around them,
  3. realize that he is being tested and is being tried in order to grow in greater holiness.

I am not telling you what your situation is. I will tell you a few things to help you deal with hidden pain that arises and can cause you to sin or lose your peace and footing on what is important.

I will allow you to be tormented so that you can grow in greater spiritual ways and be more identified with Me in the suffering.

Anyone controlled by a substance or behavior, sex, whatever, as a way out of handling difficulties, is being wrongfully controlled.

I quote to you from Genesis 4:7:


Genesis 4:7

If you are doing right, surely you ought to hold your head high! But if you are not doing right, Sin is crouching at the door hungry to get you. You can still master him.'


Jesus speaks: You have a free will, you can always control your behavior if you have not given yourself over to other control.

A person is frustrated ----------> they drink,
----------> they do not work to have a peaceful settlement.

If your Movement is to work toward being one as in the Reign of the Sacred Heart, all must try to work out difficulties in peace and love.

All must want peace. It will be the era of peace. You are the leaders to bring on this great era.

I am giving the directions to follow. You have received many incorrect directions, which, if they continue, cannot lead to peace and oneness.

I need a pure body, one that will put aside their own wills and live to please God. One that will come in MY NAME and not your own.

I want good quality tapes for My newsletter and My messages. I am delivering the message of God to the people.

Because of lack of funds, tapes of lesser quality were used.

I did not like this. I told you so. I have all the money in the world. I am teaching you My way. I do not have to justify My ways. There is no money because people do not want to help. I want My newsletter given to priests on good tapes.

I want the Contact Center to be in Florida under Mary's Image, I want the Business Center at Morrow, Ohio, and all moneys sent to Morrow, Ohio. I want distributions from My Eucharistic Center in China, Indiana, to reach the world.

You fight Me because you want your own wills.

There must be structure in My Church and My Movement.

When you were buying the house in China, Indiana, for the handmaids, many got into the act and decided what was good and bad.

I gave a message to buy a particular property and you gave my messenger a hard time.

There was much discussion, schemes and ways to save money.

The lesson for you to learn is that you must obey the will of God.

I am teaching a lesson, I am directing you.

When the first Center was in My messenger's house, a meeting was called to get her straight, she did not eat right, sleep right and people were in the house everyday watching her habits and judging better ways in which she should take care of herself and conduct her life.

It made sense, it seemed loving.

My children, if you want to control, you can't be an apostle in the Movement.

I want all things in My Movement absolutely legal. I have watched everything and led all in this direction.

My Movement exists to teach all the truth.

I want all to live in the truth.

I am forming a Movement of purity.

Because of the imperfections in the world, people have operated imperfectly.

If anyone would be addicted to substances, they would not operate in the truth. This can be, among other things, excessive amounts of caffeine and sugar. If you are controlled by drink, sugar, caffeine, you are controlled by something outside of you.

I want purity in My Movement.

When you sin by being nasty to each other, you admit it and say you are sorry.

In the world when people have pain they can:

  1. blame others for their pain, look for a victim,
  2. try to change everything around them,
  3. look inside and realize the pain is coming from within, and take responsibility for having the pain.

Many times people, as soon as they feel pain, look for another or a situation to blame it on.

When I allow you to suffer, when you are pressed on, on all sides, do you stand at the pillar and keep trying to endure, or do you get relief through drugs, alcohol, control, sex, sweet things, whatever.....?

Tremendous grace is granted for enduring the pain for the sake of souls.

You could rot from within if everybody tries to run things and get his own way.

In the end I say, "Do you believe the messages?" I come to set up a way of life, a prayer schedule for daily life for My apostles, servants and handmaids and future priests.

It is willful when I say I want prayers at these times and you decide that they should be another way. I am setting the schedule for My way of life.

I am training you through rosaries delivered.

If you listen to other ministries, you will learn what they want you to do.

My mission is very directed.

I want purity.

I want holy people as handmaids and servants, walking in My way as directed.

If you are in the Movement and are in it as a leader, you come in My name.

My handmaids and servants and future priests are to live a life of prayer rooted in Me as My special spouses.

I want My apostles to follow this way of life.

If you decide to do your own thing, you can hurt the Movement.

My messenger had the first Shepherds of Christ Center in her home. A lot of learning took place there. I began to form My community.

Problems that existed in your own families are carried over into My Shepherds of Christ Movement.

Problems in dealing with your own family members may be transferred to people in the Shepherds of Christ family.

All must recognize that there are layers and layers of hidden wounds within them.

They must look at themselves and work on the feeling letters, writing and sharing your feelings with Me.

You must live by the Blue Book messages. I give you My way in My messages.

The devil wants you to control.

The devil wants you to think you should feel that everything is settled and there are not problems.

Men, many times, want quick solutions.

I hung on the cross for three agonizing hours and at the end of that I DIED.

It was this which I gave, Myself, that led to new life.

Jesus Dies on the Cross Jesus is Risen!

Jesus speaks: It is an act of the will.

You have control over your emotions, even when the devil presses down on you.

Addictions lessen this control in various degrees.

If you become in the habit of using anything to settle your problems, such as drink, drugs, sex, etc., then you will not walk in the truth.

You must come to Me and let Me help you.

If you are not reading the material I have given, you won't feel better.

I give you a way of life for apostles, I ask you to follow it.

I reveal to you ways the devil could use to throw you off.

Alcoholic substances can be very dangerous.

Families who have used this to settle their problems hurt their family and hurt the world.

In alcoholic families there are roles that people play to live with a sick person. The whole family becomes sick in dealing with the situation and must look at themselves.

They do not walk in the truth.

Their lives are centered around the alcoholic. People's behaviors are controlled by the one who drinks, unless they seek help.

Many children grew up in addictive homes. Overeating, overworking, etc., can all be addictions.

Then you say, "Oh, Jesus, why do you bring this up?"

My children, there is deep-rooted pain inside of you.

I am the Divine Healer. Daily Mass and hours before the Blessed Sacrament will help heal you.

Alcohol or other mood-altering, numbing things only put the pain deeper into your heart and the problem is bigger later.

Everyone who is an apostle must choose if he willingly will serve Me and walk in My name.

Those in authority give directions in My name.

Those who listen to those under them and ignore authority hurt My Movement.

I want the Centers set up as I have desired.

In the Reign of the Sacred Heart, all will serve willingly. The wills of all will be aligned to God's will. All will have peace in their hearts.

I am giving directions for running the Movement. If you do not want to abide by the directions, then the Movement will suffer.

I am the Commander of the Movement. You must willingly submit to the directions I give you.

If you go along, but store up hostility because you did not get your way about the housing or money or whatever, it comes out later as hostility and anger.

Even in the world people obey rules.

Why would I, Who am in charge, not direct you?

Oh, I lament because of your pride and your lack of forgiveness and your lack of gratitude.

I give you the greatest gifts.

I open My Heart wide and I have shared Myself with you. I ask you to help Me and not be selfish and controlling.

Do not serve unwillingly and hurt others later because you are building up hostility.

It must be the act of serving your Lord and God as Master.

If there are 50 people, there could be 50 opinions.

If all work toward the will of the Father, there is only one will and there is great peace and harmony.

I love you so much. Please help me and obey the messages I give you.

All will be one.

The devil would like to stop the daily message, there are people all over the world receiving it.

Why aren't you grateful that I have chosen you from all people to put it on?

Do not be unhappy and very unsettled. The servant lives to please the Master. This is My Movement. Will you serve Me and help me reach the world?

Look at the Movement and how it has spread to the ends of the earth in so few years.

Will you help Me? I want to reach the world with My message of love.

You must open yourselves up and be willing to look at your imperfections.

You are in the time of becoming.

You are being perfected for the life to come.

You are on a journey.

I want purity.

I tell you about the ills in the world.

Since you are a product of the world, you are exposed to these ills.


From the reading of today’s Mass:

1 Peter 1:10-16
The hope of the prophets

This salvation was the subject of the search and investigation of the prophets who spoke of the grace you were to receive, searching out the time and circumstances for which the Spirit of Christ, bearing witness in them, was revealing the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow them. It was revealed to them that it was for your sake and not their own that they were acting as servants delivering the message which has now been announced to you by those who preached to you the gospel through the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even the angels long to catch a glimpse of these things.

The demands of the new life
Holiness of the newly baptised

Your minds, then, must be sober and ready for action; put all your hope in the grace brought to you by the revelation of Jesus Christ. Do not allow yourselves to be shaped by the passions of your old ignorance, but as obedient children, be yourselves holy in all your activity, after the model of the Holy One who calls us, since scripture says, ‘Be holy, for I am holy.’


From the Responsorial Psalm of today’s Mass:

Psalm 98: 1, 2-3, 3-4

Sing a new song to Yahweh,
for he has performed wonders,
his saving power is in his right hand
and his holy arm.

Yahweh has made known his saving power,
revealed his saving justice for the nations to see,
mindful of his faithful love and his constancy
to the House of Israel.

The whole wide world has seen
the saving power of our God.
Acclaim Yahweh, all the earth,
burst into shouts of joy!


From the Gospel of today’s Mass:

Mark 10:28-31
The reward of renunciation

Peter took this up. ‘Look,’ he said to him, ‘we have left everything and followed you.’ Jesus said, ‘In truth I tell you, there is no one who has left house, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children or land for my sake and for the sake of the gospel who will not receive a hundred times as much, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and land -- and persecutions too -- now in this present time and, in the world to come, eternal life. Many who are first will be last, and the last, first.'

We Are All Like Little Fish

God's Blue Book II Cover

February 3, 1994

Messenger: The King of Glory is in His house. All have left. (Talking and indifference after Communion and He is so close!)

Jesus speaks: I am the King of Glory. I am God. You are here in this House. You are in My presence. You, who are unworthy to tie My shoe!

Messenger: This morning I thought my relationship with Jesus could be compared to my loving our one-inch fish. It seems so silly! Such power and such ignorance! I could see God, bothering with little us! We had some bad fish once. There was a fish that chased the others and bit them. We got rid of the fish. Why let the fish hurt the good fish? It was a little, tiny fish, but so brassy to be so mean in front of us when we could snatch him up in a second and put him in the sink!

This is the King of Glory. Such honor and dignity is his due! We have made light of His majesty. We have made ourselves our own gods. We see this world as an end in itself, yet He sits on His throne and watches us as we watched the fish. We are busy about our lives and pay no mind to Him Who cares for us and watches us. The fish would die if we didn't feed them. They would die if we put poison in their water. They need us to oversee the tank. Likewise we do not see the eyes of God as He watches us like little fish. Busy. Busy doing what? Where are you going? In one second He can snatch us from the tank and put us in the sink!

Who has the power, the fish or the person who owns the fish? Do we have any power at all? In one second He can steal our breath away. Somehow, in our blindness, all of us still know that a force mightier than ourselves holds the reins. But such stupidity to think we have control!

Oh, Lord, who are we that You, God, even give us concern? You, in your might, not only give us concern, but such intense and great love! It is as my loving my fish--such imbalance! But He Who is such a Good God loved us to His death! He loves us this way this very day. Why does He love us? He is such a good God! Who are we that He is so good to us? Ought we not bow down low in such great honor to Him Who sustains us and loves us? He is worthy of all honor and all praise. He is, indeed, the King of Glory. Praise His Name. Bow before Him. Kiss his sanctuary, for we are unworthy of His presence!

Yet, He-HE-dwells within us. He comes to us in such a humble way in Communion. He comes to our sinful bodies and He gives us such dignity and honor. He comes in our bodies and we show him indifference. Wake up to the true presence of God-made Man, coming here into your hearts, sitting as a prisoner in the tabernacle for love of you! And you swim your busy lives away, just as the fish must swim by this rock and that rock.

All that matters are His cares, His work for us. We are so blind. Wake up! This life is but a fleeting moment. We are being tried for the great reward. Come and worship. Bow down before the King. He is mighty and has all the power. We are doing useless tasks and wearing ourselves out. He is the true treasure. Only the things of God are of any account.

Alleluia. Praise Him, the Holiest, in the Heights. Alleluia, Alleluia.


The First Sorrowful Mystery
The Agony in the Garden

Sing in-between verses:
    I Am Your Sacred Heart (refrain)
    Song From Jesus (refrain)

  1. Messenger: He was alone in the garden and those He loved had abandoned Him. They slept at that hour.
  2. He knew all that was to happen in the greatest detail.
  3. The utter pain within His Heart to want connection with His beloved ones and they were sleeping.
  4. When I know Jesus and Mary are telling me things and I try to tell others, many ignore me and do not understand the intensity and importance of the message.
  5. Then the consequence of the message follows while all fiddled on their flute and danced a dance of death.
  6. They piped up a tune, they fiddled on the flute and the walls fell down round them.
  7. There will be singing and dancing until that last hour. You know not when the Divine Reaper will come.
  8. Jesus speaks: Oh the agony of it all. I spoke and they did not comprehend, nor did they even hear My voice.
  9. Hell is total isolation, no community and the souls scream a bitter scream of blood-curdling pain.
  10. Hail Mary...

The Second Sorrowful Mystery
The Scourging at the Pillar

  1. Jesus speaks: Picture a tree on the edge of a waterway. See the rains beating down and the water being carried forcefully down stream. And they stood by the tree and they were washed by the pulling current of the tormenting rains.
  2. The battles of the evil one can be compared to the current of a rain of torrential nature that pulls so hard on the body that it is almost washed hard down stream.
  3. And you hold on so tight to that tree of life and the rains wash and wash you. They press on your body and the current comes with its force to wash you away.
  4. And there is no letting up, it seems. As the rains beat down to hurt the body with their force, the current pulls and the waves of water carry all the debris down stream.
  5. And when it seemed the night was almost over after a day of battle in which you withstood the trickery, the last curtain was raised.
  6. And the evil one moved in for the kill. The soldiers were worn down, their spirits low, their hearts sinking low in their chests. The vision of Christ at the pillar went through their feeble minds and hark the trickery of the evil one throws one last curve as he moves in for the kill.
  7. The stage was set. The anger of the other had laid the trap. The tactics of the evil one would lay a successful path to trick the already weary-laden soul in that last attempt to wipe out the good works and attempts of endurance.
  8. And it happened. A trap is set by the devil, the ancient serpent. The devil has no mercy. His game is to stop the faithful servants DEAD ON THEIR PATH.
  9. Did you help lay a trap despite the warning? Did you lend the discouraging words?
  10. And the darkness never parted, for the night drew nigh carrying a message of anguish from the half-beaten soul.

The Third Sorrowful Mystery
The Crowning of Thorns

  1. Jesus speaks: And now Satan had tripped the one walking sure-footed on the path. The person struggled to get up.
  2. It was the path of treachery.
  3. What spiraled was his evil snare, his confusing ways, of words not spoken, but assumed by the trickery of the night.
  4. There are hearts of love and tricks of one who aims to steal them all for hell.
  5. She was given a glimpse into that hollow hole: a night of hell, despair, isolation, hatred.
  6. Messenger: A crown of thorns, a heart dedicated to the service of the Lord, a love so great for Him, a thirsting for the Son of God in the Eucharist, the reception of Him in Holy Communion, the wanting of only God, a river full of life.
  7. The night was hell-like, the devil had pressed so hard, the current seemed to wash me away.
  8. I felt the weight of the cross, the thorns that pierced the head, the burning of the wounds on the body where the flesh was torn.
  9. I felt the cry come from within me of total isolation and pain.
  10. And in that reception of the Eucharist and participation in the Mass, there was agony and pain.

The Fourth Sorrowful Mystery
The Carrying of the Cross

  1. Messenger: The Mass is to unite all the hearts in oneness. At Mass I had this following experience due to the lack of oneness between the peoples of the earth and with God. It was an experience of the souls in hell that would never know any love, only total isolation, hatred, and misery. The reality of hell was so real. Where once I experienced the ecstasy of oneness with God and all others in acceptance and love, existing in Him, now I experienced separation, hatred and the blackness of a cold night that seemed would last forever.
  2. The weight of the cross, the experience of the weight of the sins of the world was so real to me.
  3. In the Mass I felt I knew the depth and vileness of each sin. I knew more about Christ carrying those ugly, vile, sins with Him to the cross.
  4. The desire to wipe out the evil swelled in my heart. I knew the evil of sins. I knew the evil in a deep degree.
  5. I felt an agony in knowing the vileness of evil and the depth of evil in sinful acts. I had deep insight into the glories of the Almighty God and I experienced the joy of knowing what it was to be existent in Him and His loving embrace.
  6. The Lady warned and they did not hear the warnings.
    It is a battle against Satan, the evil one.
    You must give your heart to God.
  7. Holy Thursday is the Mass of the Last Supper.
    Jesus speaks: I have allowed you to suffer on Thursday for those who have betrayed Me.
  8. Messenger: You must choose God.
    It is a battle, do you choose God or the evil one? Give your heart to Jesus and Mary, the New Adam and the New Eve.
  9. Jesus speaks: I mounted the cross.
    I am the New Adam, My Mother stood below. She is the New Eve.
  10. Those who give their hearts to Us will be the victors.

The Fifth Sorrowful Mystery
The Crucifixion

  1. Messenger: The cross stands as the tree of life against a darkened sky and a darkened world.
  2. The sun glistens in the sky.
  3. Jesus speaks: I am the Light of the World.
    The Light to the darkened night.
    I am God, the SAVIOR of the world.
  4. Choose life.
  5. Do you choose God and God's side or the evil one, the ancient serpent, who aims to trick you with his vileness to steal your heart and soul forever and take you to the pits of hell?
  6. Song: Song From Jesus
  7. Song: I Am Your Sacred Heart (refrain)
  8. Hail Mary...
  9. Hail Mary...
  10. Hail Mary...

        Song: Glory, Glory, Glory Lord in between decades.


The First Glorious Mystery
The Resurrection

  1. Messenger: I could hardly walk after the Mass, for He filled me with His Presence.
  2. Yesterday the agony of the realization of division and lack of oneness in the world filled me with such suffering and I knew something of hell and its lack of love. I knew something of the pain of division from God for all eternity.
  3. Today I was filled with such oneness for God and His creatures as He embraced me and overwhelmed me with His loving Presence as I existed in a heightened level in Him.
  4. The heights of this ecstasy is a taste of the everlasting embrace of our God in His love, existing in Him for all eternity. And so I write in this rosary of the One Who came forth victorious from the tomb and how I walk in His footprints.
  5. In my Bible are seen the cave where Christ was born in Bethlehem, and a tomb thought to be similar to the one He came out of after the Resurrection.
  6. He was born in a cave in the belly of the earth. He came forth victorious out of the tomb, both in the belly of the earth.
  7. In John's gospel it says the tomb of this New Adam was in a garden.
  8. He rose victorious from the dead.
  9. As we give ourselves in consecration to the New Adam and the New Eve, we put our tainted hearts in Their two pure and holy Hearts.
  10. Love is in Him.

Messenger: I ask the second reading from today's Mass and the Gospel appear here.


Romans 8:18-23

Glory is our destiny

In my estimation, all that we suffer in the present time is nothing in comparison with the glory which is destined to be disclosed for us, for the whole creation is waiting with eagerness for the children of God to be revealed. It was not for its own purposes that creation had frustration imposed on it,but for the purposes of him who imposed it--with the intention that the whole creation itself might be freed from its slavery to corruption and brought into the same glorious freedom as the children of God. We are well aware that the whole creation, until this time, has been groaning in labour pains. And not only that: we too, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we are groaning inside ourselves, waiting with eagerness for our bodies to be set free.


Matthew 13:1-23

Introduction

That same day, Jesus left the house and sat by the lakeside, but such large crowds gathered round him that he got into a boat and sat there. The people all stood on the shore, and he told them many things in parables.

Parable of the sower

He said,'Listen, a sower went out to sow. As he sowed, some seeds fell on the edge of the path, and the birds came and ate them up. Others fell on patches of rock where they found little soil and sprang up at once, because there was no depth of earth; but as soon as the sun came up they were scorched and, not having any roots, they withered away. Others fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Others fell on rich soil and produced their crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Anyone who has ears should listen!

Why Jesus speaks in parables

Then, the disciples went up to him and asked, 'Why do you talk to them in parables?' In answer, he said,'Because to you is granted to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of Heaven, but to them it is not granted. Anyone who has will be given more and will have more than enough; but anyone who has not will be deprived even of what he has. The reason I talk to them in parables is that they look without seeing and listen without hearing or understanding. So in their case what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah is being fulfilled:

Listen and listen, but never understand!
Look, and look, but never perceive!
This people's heart has grown coarse,
    their ears dulled,
they have shut their eyes tight
to avoid using their eyes to see,
    their ears to hear,
their heart to understand,
changing their ways
    and being healed by me.

'But blessed are your eyes because they see, your ears because they hear! In truth I tell you, many prophets and upright people longed to see what you see, and never saw it; to hear what you hear, and never heard it.

The parable of the sower explained

'So pay attention to the parable of the sower. When anyone hears the word of the kingdom without understanding, the Evil One comes and carries off what was sown in his heart: this is the seed sown on the edge of the path. The seed sown on patches of rock is someone who hears the word and welcomes it at once with joy. But such a person has no root deep down and does not last; should some trial come, or some persecution on account of the word, at once he falls away. The seed sown in thorns is some one who hears the word, but the worry of the world and the lure of riches choke the word and so it produces nothing. And the seed sown in rich soil is someone who hears the word and understands it; this is the one who yields a harvest and produces now a hundredfold, now sixty, now thirty.'

Tell them to ask grace from her, and that the Heart of Jesus wishes to be venerated together with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Ask them to plead for peace from the Immaculate Heart of Mary, for the Lord has confided the peace of the world to her. 19
