Annunciation is Tomorrow!

Novena to Mary Annunciation
starts March 17th

 


 

Luke 1: 26-38

In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the House of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary. He went in and said to her, ‘Rejoice, you who enjoy God’s favour! The Lord is with you.’ She was deeply disturbed by these words and asked herself what this greeting could mean, but the angel said to her, ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s favour. Look! You are to conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David; he will rule over the House of Jacob for ever and his reign will have no end.’ Mary said to the angel, ‘But how can this come about, since I have no knowledge of man?’ The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God. And I tell you this too: your cousin Elizabeth also, in her old age, has conceived a son, and she whom people called barren is now in her sixth month, for nothing is impossible to God.’ Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her. 

 

Luke 1: 46-55

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

 

                Sing: Holy Is His Name

 

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.

Joyful Mysteries

This rosary was received on Friday, December the 13th, 1996 at an International Shepherds of Christ Associates Meeting at Tom Arlinghaus’ farm in Kentucky. The rosary was led by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J., spiritual director of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. The meditations and messages were given to Rita Ring during the rosary. This rosary was received live and transcribed from the recording. This live recording can be obtained by writing Shepherds of Christ Publications. All of these meditations have been discerned by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J.

 

The Annunciation

  1. Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son and my Heart was in such pain for I saw before my eyes, I saw Him covered with Blood, I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son. But my Heart, my Heart how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son.

  2. Song: "Jesus, oh Jesus, come and fill Your lambs..."
    Messenger: God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son into this world that we would be saved from our sins.

  3. Think of the time of Adam and Eve when they were given such great gifts and they were in such light for they knew God in such a special way. And because of their willfulness they sinned and the light that He had given to them, this knowledge of God that they knew was dimmed. And they no longer saw as they once saw because of their sin.

  4. The plan of the Father. And the Father sends into this world His only begotten Son, born of the Virgin Mary through the power of the Holy Spirit. The plan of the Father unfolds. Adam and Eve sinned. He sends His Son into the world, His Son, the light of the world. And today we are here. We are here, called here as His apostles to carry this light into the darkness. He is giving to us abundant grace that we may be ever closer to His Heart, that we will be one in Him, that His light will go forth into the world as we march as children of light to carry this light into the darkness.

  5. Do we see how important our life is? We see the angel Gabriel appear to the Virgin Mary. She became the Mother of God. At the Holy Spirit Center, we see the angel appear to Mary in the first window of the rosary windows. At the Holy Spirit Center, across from this, we see the Assumption where Mary is taken into heaven. The plan of the Father unfolds in the life of the Virgin Mary. We watch her through the life of Christ as she walked beside Him in sufferings and in joys and Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. Do we see our lives unfold in the Father’s plan? For we have truly been called by the Almighty God, His special servants, to go out into the world and to carry this Good News that God loves us so much. The world, at this time, is covered with darkness; for the Father looks to the earth and men are not loving as He intends us to love. We are the children of God. We are to be as one family loving God and loving one another. But the world is covered with darkness. We are His children of light that will carry this light into the darkness as we cooperate with the grace that He is giving to us, His special apostles, and He will act in us and many will know Him through our actions.
    Song: "Jesus, oh Jesus, come and fill Your lambs..."

  6. We are so limited in our vision that we do not see. We must pray for the grace that we will see more and more. Let us look down from above. Let us see the sin of Adam and Eve. And the Father sends His Son into the world, the light to lead His children in darkness into the light. And Mary appears, she appears over and over again and she says to us, "You are sinful, you must turn your ways. You must convert. My beloved children, God is displeased. You are sinning. You must love God and you must love one another." Mary appeared to Bernadette. She appeared at Fatima. She told them, if you do not do this, that the world war would follow and the war followed. Mary appeared again, she appeared to me every day for fourteen months and she still appeared on the 5th until October the 5th of 1996. This same message "we are sinful in our ways, there are souls that are dropping into hell, you must turn from your ways" and then she gives this message in the rosary on August 27th. This message to us she says, "Carry this light into the darkness for your mother, Mary. For I stood beneath the cross and I cried and I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see? For you will not listen to me. What can I do? I come, I appear, I beg, I plead, I give you these gifts from my Son and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me, help the little children. I appear, I appear, I appear, and I am ignored." This is the same plan of the Father that is unfolding in our lives. We have been called by Jesus. Jesus has called us here at 12 o’clock on the 13th of the month. His apostles and any person that hears this tape, Jesus is calling you to be His apostle, to be His child of light, to carry the light into the darkness, for man has sinned and God loves. He wants the world to know His love.

  7. "Please, please help me," she says. "I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help, my children. You are my children of light." Jesus, the Almighty God, comes into this world in the womb of a human Person for love of us. Who are we that God comes into this world in a human Person and remains in the womb of a human person for nine months because of His great love for us. He came to this world, He gave Himself on the cross, and He gives Himself to us this day.

  8. Do we see the oneness between Jesus and His Mother? The oneness that They are one in her body. His Heart was formed within her body. They are in one body. Do we see ourselves, how separate we are? How this displeases our Lord, how this displeases our Father? For we are to be one body, united in the greatest love, one family. There will be one flock and one shepherd. He has called us to be one with each other that we will lead this across this world, that as we join as one family in the Shepherds of Christ movement, in great love, united in Their Hearts, we will lead the light across the earth and that many of His children will be united in His Heart.

  9. Jesus: Oh My beloved ones, give Me your hearts. Come, come to My Heart. You will be one in My Heart. And as you go to the churches, the schools, and the family, you will lead the strayed ones home to My Heart and the world will know the love, the love of God, the love as the Father intends, the love of His people to be in one flock with one shepherd.
    Messenger: The Almighty God so loved this world that He sent His only begotten Son into this world. Look at how we are treating God. Look at how indifferently He is treated-forgotten and ignored. This is an urgent message for Mary no longer appears as she once did. She is crying out, "I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer." And she said on October the 5th, when she appeared the last time on the 5th, "His hand is struck with power."

  10. Song: "Jesus, oh Jesus, come and fill Your lambs..."

 

The Visitation

  1. Messenger: Jesus and Mary, the new Adam and the new Eve. For she said, "I stood beneath the cross of my Son and my Heart was in such pain."

  2. Mary went to visit her cousin, Elizabeth. She goes to visit one person to tell her the good news. At the Holy Spirit Center, I see this window where Mary goes to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, and across from this is the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles. We see that they are called to go out into this world to spread the good news. This is how it is today. We are called to go out into this world to tell all the good news-that Jesus has come, He has died and He has risen and He is alive and with us this day.

  3. She carried the life of the Almighty God within her womb. And He was formed within her body. His little Body formed in the womb of a human person. It is today when we go to the Heart of our Mother, that the Holy Spirit forms us more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus. This is our refuge, this is our place of great love, the Heart of the Virgin Mary.

  4. Jesus came into this world in the womb of Mary. Man sinned and Jesus came to save us from our sins. It is through Mary, the pure and sinless one, that we must go too, to be so united to the Almighty God. For we are sinners, tainted by the sin of Adam and Eve, and it is only in going through the pure and Immaculate sinless one that we can truly reach the great depths of the Heart of Christ.

  5. I think of the Child Jesus within the womb of Mary. The Almighty God within her. And I think of my great moments of greatest joy when I am united to my beloved Savior in the Holy Eucharist, when He gives Himself to me and I know His presence in such a special way. It is in Mary that I go more deeply into His Heart. It is in giving myself to Mary, the pure and sinless one, that I go deeper and deeper into the Heart of my beloved Jesus, my Divine Lover. Mary carried the child Jesus within her womb, but God gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist and we carry the Almighty God within us, the Almighty God within us. What a great honor God has given to us that He gives Himself to us. In our sinfulness, that He comes and He enters into us. It is in Mary that we unite more and more to Him.

  6. The devil has waged this war against Mary and the priests especially, against Mary and her children of light. It is in Mary that we unite so deep to the Almighty God.

  7. The Father shows us how He sent His Son into the world in Mary. What makes us think that we will be so close to God if we do not go through Mary. The devil has really pressed on the relationship between Mary and her children. We must spread this news to the world that we must give ourselves to Mary and to Jesus.

  8. Hail Mary...

  9. Song: "O Holy Dwelling Place of God..."
    Messenger: We must go through the heart of Mary in order to unite in great depth with our Almighty God. He sent His Son into the world in the Virgin Mary, the pure and the sinless one. He tells us that we must go through her heart, that He wants His Heart venerated next to her heart. Mary said that we will not have peace in this world until we give our hearts to her heart and the Heart of her Son.
    Song: "O Holy Mary, Holy Mother of God."
    Messenger: The Hearts of Jesus and Mary, our little heaven on earth.

  10. Hail Mary...

 

The Nativity

  1. Song: "Come Holy Spirit..."

  2. Messenger: Within the womb of the Virgin Mary, the Holy Spirit works to sanctify us and to make us more into the image and likeness of Jesus. Let us pray for the light. Let us pray that we may see more fully, see more clearly, not with our eyes but with our hearts. That we may know God. The desire that is so great within us, that we want so much to know our Almighty God, God Who is love.

  3. The Child Jesus was born in a stable in Bethlehem, not adorned in gold and silver, but He comes in great poverty and is laid on bare wood. This is the Almighty God. Who are we that we are so high and mighty, that we want so many things of gold and silver? The Almighty God comes to show us His way and His way is the way of love. The most important thing that we must do is to love. This is the real treasure, love of God and love of one another.

  4. Jesus: I want to talk to you, My beloved ones, and tell you My love. But My Heart is sad for the world today. They are willful in their ways. I am calling you, My children of light, to go into the darkness and to spread My love. I am silent, I have been quieted. Many ignore Me, they treat Me with such indifference. My beloved ones, how I love you, and love all My precious souls. Will you carry My light into the dark world? Will you tell them that I am alive and that I am with you and that I want to give them My love. I am the Almighty God. I give to you My divine love. My beloved ones, I have given to you great gifts each and every one of you present. My great grace I have outpoured to you as members of the Shepherds of Christ movement. I am giving to you abundant graces to come to My Heart. This is an urgent message. You will carry this light into the darkness and many hearts will be lead home to My Heart. Please, I beg you to put aside the other distractions that Satan has created in your life and listen to this message for I appear on the cross on December 5th and My lips were moving, but silent for you do not hear. There are so many things that have distracted you and led you astray. Satan will come into your life and tell you that you must do this and that. I am calling you, My apostles. The time is urgent, souls are being lost forever, for all eternity. I have called you. You are My special ones. Will you answer this call, will you help to spread this movement to the far ends of the earth for many will be led back home to My Heart. I am Jesus, your beloved Savior, come to Me and I will bathe you in My love.

  5. Messenger: I see Jesus in the window at the Holy Spirit Center. I see the little Baby in the crib and He is surrounded by the little sheep. The Almighty God, humbled Himself so that He came into this world in the womb of a human person and remained there for nine months. We are so haughty and so filled with pride. We are so blind that we do not see. It is in living according to the Father’s will that we will all have peace in our lives. There is not another way. The Almighty God is all powerful. We must do what He is telling us to do. Why He has called me, why He has called Fr. Carter, why He has called you to this movement, why He is giving us the grace to see, why He is lifting the veil, why He is showing us the light as we unite more and more to His Heart, as we are filled more and more with His life, why? I do not know, but it is a great gift from God and He wants our thankfulness. He wants us to thank Him and to be His loving servants, His children of light, to spread the light in the darkness. And the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend. There are many this day in this world that are in total darkness. Many that will lose their souls for all eternity. I saw Mary, I saw her before my eyes and she appeared day, after day, after day, and cried out and cried out and cried out how the souls were dropping into hell like rain. And it is so hard for me, it is so hard for Mary and Jesus speak to you and people do not listen. They focus on you as a person and do not hear the message. Let us hear the message of the Almighty God this day for it is so urgent. Many appeared from July the 5th of 1994 until October the 5th of 1996, over two years on these special dates and then Jesus appears on the crucifix with His mouth moving. Do we hear His words in this rosary? For He is speaking, He is speaking to us, His apostles.
    Jesus: What you do here, My beloved ones, will make the difference to this world. I have called you and I am magnifying all your efforts. Will you answer this call as My apostles? Will you help Me to go into the darkness to spread the light? I am the Light of the World.
    Messenger: And the light shone in the darkness. But the darkness grasped it not.

  6. Song: "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus the light of the world..."
    Messenger: He came into this world and He was laid on bare wood and He went out of this world hanging on a cross. He is the King of Kings. The Kingdom of God is at hand. He is calling us to spread this consecration to the world. For we will be given the greatest gift of all when we are one in Their Hearts, when there is one flock with one shepherd. This is a calling from Jesus to us. This date on the 13th is a calling from Jesus. Mary appeared at Fatima, Mary appeared to Bernadette, Mary appeared on the 13ths. Jesus is calling us on the 13ths to hear this most urgent message. The message is that we must go into the world and we must tell people that Jesus loves them. And they must tell Jesus that they love Him and that they love Mary, that they give their hearts to Jesus and Mary. When people do this, they will see the light. For we have disobeyed our Mother. This is her peace plan for the world. Jesus is telling us today that we must carry out Mary’s peace plan or we will not have peace. The Father sends Jesus into the world, the light of world. He comes as a Baby. Mary comes and says, "You are sinful. You are sinful. You must change your ways." We ignore Mary. Our willfulness. It is only in living according to His will that we will be children in one family and one fold. We have disobeyed Mary. When we give our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will see the light.

  7. And the light will steal across the sky as from the darkest night to the brightest sunlit day. The light will steal across the sky as hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, as hearts are turned to hearts of love. Mary told us the way. We must give Mary our hearts and give our hearts to Jesus. This is what we are being commissioned to do.
    Jesus: My beloved ones, My apostles, I have called you to go into the darkness and to spread this consecration to the Church, the family, and the school. This would delight My Heart and the Heart of my Mother for it is when hearts are hearts of love that you will have peace. You must lead the strayed ones home to My Heart.

  8. Messenger: Satan has blocked this message from the time of Fatima, in the churches, in the schools. Satan is blocking this message today. It is so simple and so clear. He is giving to us great grace in the Shepherds of Christ movement that we will be able to go out and spread the consecration and the rosary as Mary has told us. To tell people about the First Saturday Devotion and making reparation to Their Hearts. For we are sinful, we must tell God that we are sorry. Jesus is asking us today. People have ignored Mary. They have not listened to their Mother and they have disobeyed her. She is the Queen of Heaven and Earth and we disobey her. This displeases God. Jesus has told me over and over again of the importance of the 13th of the month. In four strong messages He told me how important this is to the Shepherds of Christ movement, to the apostles in the Shepherds of Christ movement. For He is directing them in order to carry out Mary’s peace plan in the world that we will be one flock and one shepherd.

  9. Oh beloved Mary, I see you, I see you in Bethlehem and I see the Child Jesus in the crib and St. Joseph by your side. This is the Holy Family, the family of love. Look at our family today, they are so disconnected. Look at how we sit in the pews at church, so disconnected. This is not what God wants. He wants us to be one body where we are united in the deepest love. Let us model ourselves after the lives of Jesus and Mary. Let us look at the Holy Family and see the intense love between Jesus and Mary and Joseph. Today we cannot even find Jesus, Mary, and Joseph on a Christmas card. We must go to a religious store to look for a Christmas card. Jesus is displeased. Man has sinned. The Father sent His Mother and we did not listen. Jesus is talking to us this day.

  10. Song: "Oh Lady of Light..."
    Song: A Song from Jesus
    Messenger: And He will write the messages of His love on their hearts. These are rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, messages of love that God wishes us to spread to this world, that the hearts will be hearts of love, that the love will not just be spoken from lips, that love will be true love. That hearts will fervently love God with all their hearts. This is what we will have when the Sacred Heart of Jesus reigns. But we in this room must love Him with all our hearts for we are the leaders that He has called. Jesus, I love You and I give You my heart. Mary, I love you and I give you my heart.
    Song: The Rosary Song
    Jesus: This is My teaching to you, My beloved ones. I am teaching you in the rosary how to be My apostles of love to go into the darkness and to carry My light. I love you, I love you, I love you. I am Jesus, the Almighty God. I Am Who Am and I have called you. I have called you by name.

 

The Presentation in the Temple

  1. Messenger: Joseph and Mary took the Child Jesus to the temple and the old man, Simeon, told them that this Child is destined for the rise and fall of many in Israel.

  2. Hail Mary...

  3. Messenger: And her Heart was filled with immense sorrow for she knew from that point on that her Son, Jesus, would suffer. It was a connection deep within her Heart and the Heart of her Son. For Jesus in His divine knowing, knowing all things, and Mary knowing from the prophecy of Simeon, They shared this immense secret, knowing of the sufferings to come.

  4. And she looked at her Child, Jesus. She looked at Him at play. She looked at Him from that moment on. There was a constant suffering within her Immaculate Heart for she knew that the day would come.
    Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son. I stood beneath the cross of my Son and my Heart was in such pain.

  5. Song: "I rocked Him as a baby. I fed Him as a child..."

  6. Hail Mary...

  7. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

  8. Song: "Let us build the city of God. May our tears be turned into dancing..."

  9. Song: "Awake from your slumber. Arise from your sleep..."

  10. Messenger: We look out and we see the light of day and we see the trees and we see the beauty that God created. At night time we look out the window and the same trees and all the beauty of the river are still there, but we do not see. There are so many people this day that Mary talked about when she appeared, that are walking in darkness. They do not see. For it is not with earthly vision that we see. But we see within our hearts. We feel His presence. I do not see Jesus in this room, but it is in my heart that He is so present to me, that I feel so one in Him. He is giving to us abundant grace. We are saturated more and more with His life, we see more, we see and know Him more. The darkness turns into light. For He is lifting the veil and giving to us graces that even some of the greatest saints did not receive. Why is He doing this for us? To much that is given, much is expected. He is giving this to us that we will carry out this light to the world, that we will help spread the light in the darkness.
    Message before the Glory Be:
    The Child is destined for the rise and fall of many in Israel.
    Jesus: The time is urgent, My beloved ones, every day is a great amount of time. The devil will distract you and lead you astray. I am calling you in the Shepherds of Christ movement, My apostles, for the light will spill across the earth and many hearts will be converted through the work that you do. I am magnifying your efforts. It is through the consecration that hearts will be turned to hearts of love and that there will be peace in this world. This is the good news. As you spread this to the world, many souls will know Me and they will be saved. Please, I beg you, do not say "no". These are My messages that I am giving to you on this 13th of December and every 13th that follows. I will give you the instructions, My apostles, for leading the strayed ones back to My Heart.

 

The Finding in the Temple

  1. Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
    Jesus: I am calling you, My beloved ones, to be My beating Heart in this world, gathered in one fold in the Shepherds of Christ movement. Many will be led to My Heart through the consecration. You must go to the churches, to the families, and to the schools and to lead the strayed ones home.

  2. Messenger: Mary went in search for the Child Jesus for He was lost in the temple. She appeared over and over and over again every day for fourteen months and for the last nine months, every time I prayed the Joyful Mysteries, through this mystery she kept telling me of the souls that were going to hell, her little lost children that she loved so. She lamented under the cross at Immaculata and I went through such agony feeling within my heart the suffering that she allowed me to experience for the loss of her little children and the loss of these children forever to the fires of hell.

  3. For she says in this message, "What can I do? I come, I appear, I beg, I plead, I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often any more for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear, I appear, I appear, and I am ignored.

  4. She was in such anguish to lose the Child Jesus. But how sorrowful her Heart this day. Look at the little children in the world how they are being taught such filth that they do not even know the love of Jesus and Mary. And Jesus says that the children are the sickest of all because many of the adults are sick and they are teaching the children and as the generations go on and on, the children become more sick. We are feeding our children garbage. We are telling them what is important is material wealth and things and they do not even know the ten Commandments. Mary, our Mother, appeared to me every day. I deliver this message. It is for you. I beg you, I beg you to listen to this message on this tape. This is the message Jesus and Mary asked me yesterday on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe to record and to give to you, to listen to frequently, that you will be in Their world, that you will feel close to Them and close to Their Hearts. For the hearts of so many in the world today are so cold. But even though there are many, many, many hearts that are cold, the reality is that God is speaking and this is what He is saying-Adam and Eve sinned, God came, Mary appeared (and she does not appear as she once did), she cannot hold back the hand of her Son any longer. And she says "His hand is struck with power."

  5. We are so blind. There are so many horrible things that are going on in the world. We must do what Mary, our Mother, told us to do. This is the good news. This is a great gift from God. This is all that will make us happy: to do what God is telling us to do.

  6. There is something I want to read out of Isaiah. This was on First Saturday that this was the reading. And Jesus gave me very much revelation.
    Isaiah 30: 19-26:
    "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. When the Lord has given you the bread of suffering and the water of distress, he who is your teacher will hide no longer, and you will see your teacher with your own eyes. Your ears will hear these words behind you, ‘This is the way, keep to it,’ whether you turn to right or left. You will hold unclean the silver platting of your idols and gold plating of your images. You will throw them away like the polluted things they are, shouting after them, ‘Good riddance!’ He will send rain for the seed you sow in the ground, and the bread that the ground provides will be rich and nourishing. That day, your cattle will graze in wide pastures. Oxen and donkeys that work the land will eat for fodder wild sorrel, spread by the shovel-load and fork-load. On every lofty mountain, on every high hill there will be streams and water-courses, on the day of the great slaughter when the strongholds fall. Then moonlight will be bright as sunlight and sunlight itself will be seven times brighter-like the light of seven days in one-on the day Yahweh dresses his people’s wound and heals the scars of the blows have received."1
    Messenger: The world is very sinful in their ways. They have ignored Mary, their Mother. She says, "His hand is struck with power." There will be the era of great peace. There will be the time when the grace abundantly flows in such proportion from our churches and hearts will fervently love God with the greatest love. And we will be one flock and one family. We will be the family that the Father intends us to be. The reign of the Sacred Heart is coming and her Immaculate Heart will triumph. We are a major part of the completion of the Fatima message. In these rosaries we are receiving the directions that will help bring this about. We are the apostles that He is sending into the world to lead the strayed ones home. With the consecration, He is giving to us great grace that we will be one in Him, that He will operate through us. And all will see with light brighter than seven suns, see within Their Hearts and know God, not with earthly vision but with this great knowing of the Almighty God. He has given to us a great light. We are to lead the others into the light. The people in darkness have seen a great light. It is as bright as seven suns.

  7. Mary: The Child Jesus was lost in the temple. There are many children that are lost today. You, my beloved ones, You, my beloved ones are my children of light.
    Song: "Awake from your slumber. Arise from you sleep..."

  8. Song: "Prepare in the wilderness a highway for God."

  9. Song: "A voice cries out in the wilderness..."

  10. Jesus: My beloved ones, I cry out to you this day. This day, December the 13th, My apostles, I have called you to this place, to this farm. I have called you to give this message to you. I have called you on the 13th of the month. I am Jesus, your Savior. Will you answer this call? Will you go into the darkness and carry My light? You must go into the darkness. You must spread My love. You must carry the consecration for there will be one flock and one shepherd when hearts are united in My Heart and the Heart of My Mother. Come to Me, My beloved ones. Come to Me and I will fill your heart with the greatest love. I will outpour My life to you and you will see the light brighter than seven suns. You will see and know Me. I am your God. I love you.
    Message before the Glory Be:
    Song: "A voice cries out in the wilderness..."
    Jesus: These are My directions for you, My beloved apostles. I am asking you to study these tapes and the messages in God’s Blue Book, to live according to these messages, to come to the tabernacle, to daily Mass and Communion. It is there that I will saturate you with My life, that you will see and that you will know, that you will spread My light into the darkness. I am begging you every day to study these messages. I am calling you, My apostles. It is through this study that you will carry the light into the darkness. When you listen to this tape, I am asking you to forward the tape to a spot on the tape and to listen for five minutes to the message that I deliver verbally to you. I am Jesus. What you do is so important to so many of My beloved souls. And I cry out to you bring Me souls, bring Me souls, bring Me souls, for this will delight My most Sacred Heart. I love you, I love you, I love you.

                (10) Mark 14: 32-44

They came to a plot of land called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, ‘Stay here while I pray.’ Then he took Peter and James and John with him. And he began to feel terror and anguish. And he said to them, ‘My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here, and stay awake.’ And going on a little further he threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, this hour might pass him by. ‘Abba,  Father!’ he said, ‘For you everything is possible. Take this cup away from me. But let it be as you, not I, would have it.’ He came back and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, ‘Simon, are you asleep? Had you not the strength to stay awake one hour? Stay awake and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.’ Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. And once more he came back and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy; and they could find no answer for him. He came back a third time and said to them, ‘You can sleep on now and have your rest. It is all over. The hour has come. Now the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up! Let us go! My betrayer is not far away.’

And at once, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came up and with him a number of men armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. Now the traitor had arranged a signal with them saying, ‘The one I kiss, he is the man. Arrest him, and see he is well guarded when you lead him away.’

                    Like enslaved to bad habits,
                        of anger, pride, jealousy,
                        envy, slothfulness, lust,
                        greed, gluttony –

                (2) R. Oh God, please break the chains

                    of the world –

                    ourselves –
                    healing in body, mind and
                    soul – for all of us –
                    Oh God, outpour Your
                    grace of healing to us – to the Church
                    and to the whole world –

                (8) R. See Jesus now being whipped at
                    the pillar –
                    Jesus suffered for our sins –
                    Jesus loves us so much
                    Jesus allowed Himself to be
                        beaten for our sins.

                (9) R. Oh God, we worship You, we love You
                    and we adore You –

                Song: Give Me Your Heart of Jesus –
                        Give Me a heart like Yours –

                (10) R. We pray to tell God we thank Him
                    for all He gave to us –
                    We thank Jesus for suffering
                    for our sins –
                    We are sorry God –
                    Oh God hear our prayer –
                    We spread the Blood of Jesus on
                        this place, on the Church,
                        on our families and on the
                        whole world –

                We pray for Dan and Melanie, Margaret and Sonny,
                    Jack, Matthew, all the people
                    we have been praying for –

                The Crowning with Thorns

                (1) Matthew 27: 27-31

Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Praetorium and collected the whole cohort round him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet cloak round him, and having twisted some thorns into a crown they put this on his head and placed a reed in his right hand. To make fun of him they knelt to him saying, ‘Hail, king of the Jews!’ And they spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head with it. And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the cloak and dressed him in his own clothes and led him away to crucifixion.

                R. We pray all prayers to the Father,
                in union with Jesus in the Holy
                Sacrifice of the Mass going on
                around the world in the Holy Spirit –
                through the powerful intercession
                of Our Lady of Clearwater
                with all the angels and saints               

                This is from the Rosary
                    March 5, 2015
                    transcribed from a live
                    recording.

                (3) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary

R. Dear God the Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory, we come in one mind and one heart and we ask you to please help us in all of our needs. We ask that the Blood of Jesus is spread on all these people, consecrate their hearts, cast the devil, ask for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Pray to the Father, in the name of Jesus, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, pray through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater, and we pray united with all the people that are listening on the radio. I want to pray for some special people, for Eva, for Sonny, especially for Melanie and Dan, and the people that ask us to pray for them, a little boy named Jack, and another little boy named Matthew, that are just like so heroic, in their sicknesses. Pray for Amanda, and all the people that are suffering with that fear of their health, and knowing that they are completely dependent on God, and we pray, of course, for the priests, the Church and the world, and the people, consecrate all their hearts, cast the devil far away, and ask for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We pray that we will be united in body, mind and soul and that God will outpour His grace on all of our members and donors and leaders, and all of their families, and anybody that  touches their families. You know that since July 5, 1994 that is 21 years, I have been doing the 5ths,  it's a lot of years, and doing them every month like this. And in all the years that God, has called me to do these 5ths, I can say that He has said that He outpours His grace, especially on the 5ths, and He gave us this building, it is a great gift that He has given to us. And the Blessed Mother appeared on this building for 7 1/2 years for everybody to see, and I don't think ever in the history of the world, was there such a beautiful image of the Blessed Mother like she appeared here. She would wear her different little dresses, as the sun hit her in different ways. When we used to pray the 5ths outside, there was just this, it was hard to explain, it was just a presence that I knew out there. And even after her image head got knocked off, then there was, the face of Jesus, that was out there. I could really feel, you know that, that special gift how God was really close to us, as we prayed. There has been a lot of prayers that have gone out of Shepherds of Christ, the first 5th that Mary appeared to me, which was July 5th, 1994, and I was a lot younger then, and so I have kind of grown old with the 5ths. And today, of course, is no less special in the mind of God. It stands for the 5 blasphemies and the 5 wounds of Christ, which is what They told me in the beginning. Now lets all think about the 5 wounds of Christ because we are in Lent right now. Why did God want us to venerate 5 wounds? Think of the wounds that were all over the entire body of Christ, the wounds that were the bashing to His head. You know we can hit our head on the wall in the dark, and if we don't put some ice on it, we might end up having a knot on our head. You know, there was nobody there to put ice on the head of Jesus, when they pounded the thorns into His head. There was nobody there to hold the hand of Jesus, as I'm sure, there was splinters all over His hands and gashes, from the way that the men beat Him and made Him carry His cross. How about the feet of Jesus, that carried this wounded, whipped, bloodied body, with the cross on His back, ladden with our sins. When we look in pride and we say to ourselves, 'I did nothing!' And we know in our hearts,  we must really look at ourselves honestly, if our pride is growing more and more. We need humility. Humility needs to blossom so people can see us as a witness for Christ. The 5 wounds of Christ, and so they pounded into His head a crown of thorns. God has called us to be more and more in His image and likeness, and to be more and more in His image and likeness, God is love. God is the source of love, the Divine Almighty God. How can we be unloving when God is so good to us. God has given us all these years on this earth, to learn how to love Him and to love others as ourselves. And if we pass that test, it's like going to school, like I went to college and I taught college, and you end up giving the people material and then at the end, then they have to take a test, if they don't go to the classes, if they don't do the work, they will fail the test. Well, the test that God is giving to us, is the test, in the question that we will have on the day of judgment, which is, did you love God with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole being and love your neighbor as yourselves. Have we reported for the classes that God has given to us, day after day, in dealing with ourselves and others in the world, in trying to be witnesses, that are growing more and more, in the image and likeness of God. And I look at the Blue Books that He has given to me, the writings that He has given to me since 1991, when He first showed me His heart, which used to be on the first cover on the Blue Book II. And it was a Heart that was on fire for love of us. And the lessons that we need to learn in His school, are the lessons of love. They are lessons of unity. They are the lessons of having that imprint, more and more, of the Divine Creator on our hearts, where He has given to us the Blessed Mother, who appeared in this image on the building here, to teach us how important she is in our spiritual life. What is the lesson that Mary, the Mother of God, is teaching us, when she appears on this building, that her heart is a heart that we can go to, because she was conceived without sin.

                (4) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary continues

R. And it says in John, if we go through our whole life and say, I'm not a sinner, then we are liars. Lent is a time to go into the desert and to say to ourselves – I am a sinner. I am prideful. God, give me the increase of faith, of believing in You, not in myself – in believing in You more, of imprinting Yourself on my soul, more and more, as I increase in the virtues of faith, hope and love. There's work to be done. This is the biggest school that there is, of our life, and many of us, were given that entrance into His school as babies, in baptism. And if it wasn't as babies in baptism, some where down the line, if we were baptized, we were given such a gift in baptism, to share in His Divine life, to be on our way, more and more, in knowing God, as God reveals Himself to us, as God gives us this elevated capacity to know and to love. And the world is always flinging before our eyes, their wares, and satan comes in and he wants us to think about ourselves, in pride, in anger, and jealousy, and all this kind of stuff. And do you see Christ, like I see Him, with a crown of thorns on His head, with blood running down into His eyes and in His ears, because of our sins of pride, because of our sins of trying to take what is wrong and tell us that it is right, when it was just as easy, to be other focused, instead of self-focused, and selfish, which led to division, rather than unity, building relationship with others, so that the world would see our love and they would know that we are Christians by our love. The choice is ours, because we do have a free will. We can look at the 5 wounds of Christ, and we look at His crowned head, and say to ourselves, 'Well, I didn't know, I am without sin' or we can say 'Oh, my God I am sorry for I have sinned.' This is what Lent is about, to look at the hands of Christ, with the nails and to think of how many times we were grabbing out for our selfish interest, rather than asking ourselves, what would Jesus want me to do here. How is He calling me to give my hands, to open up my heart to others? Where have our feet taken us, in serving our own selfish interest, instead of seeing the feet of Jesus, on the cross? Can you imagine how awful it was for Christ to hang on that Cross by two nails, after being beaten?

                (5) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary continues

R. You know yesterday, we had a trying day and I was really worn out just because we had to do a lot of stuff. Can you imagine how worn out Christ was, after going through the whipping at the pillar, the crowning with thorns, the carrying of the cross, and then for them to hang Him as a spectacle in front of the world, and He endured it all. Because He wants us to know how much He loves us and He has given us all these Blue Book writings. He is calling us to be in the front of the class, saying 'I report for class today, Jesus, to help build Your Kingdom, to love my neighbor as myself. To have You in my heart day and night, Jesus. That you are never far from my heart.' Because that is the 5th wound. It is the piercing of the Heart of Jesus, because He said over and over again, in Blue Book II, His greatest agony was not the agony that He suffered on the cross, but the agony that He suffered for those that treat Him so dishonorable, rejecting Him after all He has given. God is Divine. God is Supreme. God gives us a sharing in His life in baptism and our knowing and loving capacity is elevated.

and bid me come to Thee
That with Thy saints I may praise Thee
For ever and ever. Amen.

                (7) Sing: I Love You Jesus

                (8) Sing: Your Presence Pervades My Soul

                (9) Sing: Refrain  "I am the Bread of Life"

                (10) 2 Corinthians 5: 17-21

So for anyone who is in Christ, there is a new creation: the old order is gone and a new being is there to see. It is all God's work; he reconciled us to himself through Christ and he gave us the ministry of reconciliation. I mean, God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not holding anyone's faults against them, but entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

    So we are ambassadors for Christ; it is as though God were urging you through us, and in the name of Christ we appeal to you to be reconciled to God. For our sake he made the sinless one a victim for sin, so that in him we might become the uprightness of God.

 

The Crucifixion 

(1) Luke 15: 1-3, 11-32

The tax collectors and sinners, however, were all crowding round to listen to him, and the Pharisees and scribes complained saying, ‘This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.’ So he told them this parable:

Then he said, ‘There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, "Father, let me have the share of the estate that will come to me," So the father divided the property between them. A few days later, the younger son got together everything he had and left for a distant country where he squandered his money on a life of debauchery.

When he had spent it all, that country experienced a severe famine, and now he began to feel the pinch; so he hired himself out to one of the local inhabitants who put him on his farm to feed the pigs. And he would willingly have filled himself with the husks the pigs were eating but no one would let him have them. Then he came to his senses and said, "How many of my father’s hired men have all the food they want and more, and here am I dying of hunger! I will leave this place and go to my father and say: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired men." So he left the place and went back to his father.

‘While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with pity. He ran to the boy, clasped him in his arms and kissed him. Then his son said, : "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son." But the father said to his servants, "Quick! Bring out the best robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the calf we have been fattening and kill it; we will celebrate by having a feast, because this son of mine was dead and has come back to life; he was lost and is found." And they began to celebrate.

‘Now the elder son was out in the fields, and on his way back, as he drew near the house, he could hear music and dancing. Calling one of the servants he asked what it was all about. The servant told him, "Your brother has come, and your father has killed the calf we had been fattening because he has got him back safe and sound." He was angry then and refused to go in, and His father came out and began to urge him to come in; but he retorted to his father, "All these years I have slaved for you and never once disobeyed any orders of yours, yet you never offered me so much as a kid for me to celebrate with my friends. But, for this son of yours, when he comes back after swallowing up your property—he and his loose women—you kill the calf we have been fattening.

‘The father said, "My son, you are with me always and all I have is yours. But it was only right we should celebrate and rejoice, because your brother here was dead and has come to life; he was lost and is found.’

(2) Sing: China Song

(3) R. When the blood is on the door –
    he will pass over the home –
 

Exodus 12: 21-27

Injunctions relating to the Passover

Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, ‘Go and choose a lamb or kid for your families, and kill the Passover victim. Then take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and with the blood from the basin touch the lintel and both door–posts; then let none of you venture out of the house till morning. Then, when Yahweh goes through Egypt to strike it, and sees the blood on the lintel and on both door–posts, he will pass over the door and not allow the Destroyer to enter your homes and strike. You will observe this as a decree binding you and your children for all time, and when you have entered the country which Yahweh will give you, as he has promised, you will observe this ritual. And when your children ask you, "What does this ritual mean?" you will tell them, "It is the Passover sacrifice in honour of Yahweh who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt, and struck Egypt but spared our houses." ’ And the people bowed in worship. The Israelites then went away and did as Yahweh had ordered Moses and Aaron.


(4) Exodus 24: 3-8

Moses went and told the people all Yahweh's words and all the laws, and all the people answered with one voice, 'All the words Yahweh has spoken we will carry out!' Moses put all Yahweh's words into writing, and early next morning he built an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve standing-stones for the twelve tribes of Israel. Then he sent certain young Israelites to offer burnt offerings and sacrifice bullocks to Yahweh as communion sacrifices. Moses then took half the blood and put it into basins, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar. Then, taking the Book of the Covenant, he read it to the listening people, who then said, 'We shall do everything that Yahweh has said; we shall obey.' Moses than took the blood and sprinkled it over the people saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant which Yahweh has made with you, entailing all these stipulations.'


(5) Hebrews 9: 11-15

    But now Christ has come, as the high priest of all the blessings which were to come. He has passed through the greater, the more perfect tent, not made by human hands, that is, not of this created order; and he has entered the sanctuary once and for all, taking with him not the blood of goats and bull calves, but his own blood, having won an eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkled on those who have incurred defilement, may restore their bodily purity. How much more will the blood of Christ, who offered himself, blameless as he was, to God through the eternal Spirit, purify our conscience from dead actions so that we can worship the living God.

Christ seals the new covenant with his blood

This makes him the mediator of a new covenant, so that, now that a death has occurred to redeem the sins committed under an earlier covenant, those who have been called to an eternal inheritance may receive the promise.


(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.

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995

(7) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Opening Prayer

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

Dear Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus, in union with Him in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit. We come to You united to the Child Jesus of Good Health and the Infant of Prague. We come to You in the perfect, sinless heart of Our Mother Mary, asking her powerful intercession, uniting ourselves to her holy tears. We come to You united to all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory.

(8) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Prayer for Holy Spirit

We pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on us, to be baptized by the Holy Spirit, that He will descend mightily on us as He did on the Apostles at Pentecost. That the Holy Spirit will transform us from fear to fearlessness and that He will give us courage to do all the Father is asking of us to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. We pray for the Holy Spirit to descend mightily on the Jesuits and the Poor Clares on the Shepherds of Christ leaders and members and on the whole Body of Christ and the world.

(9) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Protection by the Blood of Jesus

We pray that the Blood of Jesus will be spread on us, everyone in our families, and the Shepherds of Christ Movement, that we will be able to move steadfastly ahead and be protected from the evil one.

(10) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Healing

We pray for healing in body, mind, and soul and generational healing in ourselves, in all members in our families, and in all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, the Jesuit Community, the Poor Clares, the Body of Christ, and the world.
