The Annunciation

l. R. The angel Gabriel appeared to the Virgin Mary and asked her to be the Mother of God.

2. R. Mary responded to the request.

Luke 1: 38

Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’

R. This is how it is with Mary. All through her life she always, always lived according to the Father’s will.

3. R. Mary is the new Eve. We see the old Eve. We see Adam and Eve in the garden given the great gifts and knowing God in such an intense way of having the light, of having all these gifts and they disobeyed and they ate of the tree. Mary, the sinless one comes and she obeys all that the Father wishes her to obey. Mary is sinless and all holy. Mary is the pure and the Immaculate One. Mary is the mother of God and our Mother to lead the sinful race through the Holy Spirit to be brought forth as children of light in her Immaculate Heart.

4. R. And the Holy Spirit descended upon her and Mary conceived of the child, Jesus.

Reference: John 3: 16

R. God the Father gave His Son to us that we would share in His life. We are to model our lives after the life of Jesus. As we meditate on these mysteries of the rosary, let us ask for Divine wisdom especially from the Holy Spirit that we may see lights and insights into these mysteries. Let us consecrate our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Give ourselves to Mary in her heart, for it is there that the Holy Spirit works to give us these lights, to give us insights into the Divine mysteries. God loves us to pray the rosary. Mary gave us the rosary as a great gift in which we would be united in a deeper way to God by meditating on the lives of Jesus and Mary. It is in the rosary that the Holy Spirit does give us great lights. The Holy Spirit wants us to pray the rosary. The Holy Spirit is the Spouse of the Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit works very closely with the Virgin Mary in bringing us forth into the light. Is this not all that we crave? We are like blinded. We are like walking in darkness. We have our human minds but He elevates our knowing capacity and loving capacity, we share in His Divine Life in baptism. And to know a little bit, to receive a light from the Holy Spirit is so satisfying for this is what we crave. This is what He has done for us in these rosaries. He has lifted the shade and He has given us insights into the Divine mysteries. It’s really up to Him and what He gives us. God is the Initiator. We the one waiting His favor.

5. R. I give my heart to Mary and I ask the Holy Spirit to work. We see that it is through the power of the Holy Spirit that she conceived of the child Jesus. And it is through the power of the Holy Spirit that we will be brought forth into the light.
 

From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.

The Holy Spirit

Jesus: “My beloved friend, tell My people to pray daily to the Holy Spirit. They are to pray for an increase in His gifts. My people must realize that the Holy Spirit comes to transform them. The Spirit desires to transform you more and more according to My image. Those who are docile to His touch become increasingly shaped in My likeness. He performs this marvel within Mary’s Immaculate Heart. The more one dwells in My Mother’s Heart, the more active are the workings of the Spirit. The Spirit leads Mary to place you within My own Heart. In both Our Hearts, then, your transformation continues. The more you are formed after My own Heart, the more I lead you to the bosom of My Father. Tell My people all this. Tell them to pray daily for a greater appreciation of these wondrous gifts. I am Lord and Master. All who come to My Heart will be on fire to receive the gifts of the Spirit in ever greater measure! I love and bless My people!”

Reflection: The Holy Spirit is given to us to fashion us ever more according to the likeness of Jesus. And the more we are like Jesus, the more Jesus leads us to the Father. Do we, each day, pray to the Holy Spirit to be more open to His transforming influence? Do we strive each day to grow in union with Mary? The greater our union with our Mother, the spouse of the Holy Spirit, the greater is the transforming action of the Holy Spirit within us. end of excerpt

6. R. We have been given these messages from God, and from God the Father. And all of us have grown so much in our relationship with God. And He expects us to live by the messages that He has given to us. Here is something that I would like to read out of the scripture.

Reference: Luke 1:18-20

7. R. The devil worked very cunningly trying to block the message God has given. God gives us signs.

August 11, 1996

Jesus: I have given permanent signs of the authenticity of these messages. Time is urgent and the messages need to be supported and circulated by the leaders in the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

Over and over again, I have told you what would happen if you ignore the messages. I am asking you to see that each and every person involved in the Shepherds of Christ Movement read the message of March 7, 1994 and March 13, 1994. Please discern and circulate the message of March 20, 1994, before the end of the building collapsed.

I am asking all to help circulate the video of April 17, 1994. I have given several permanent signs in this video. The sun spins in the beginning: the sun spins when Rita is reading a message from God’s Blue Book 1. These are permanent signs I have given to prove that I am delivering these messages.

I ask you to circulate the video from September 15, 1995. The mist received around the Sorrowful Mother is her sign given that she truly appeared daily from July 5, 1994 until September 5, 1995. This is your sign to help in circulating the Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.  end of excerpt

Reference: Luke 1: 19-20

R. Mary appeared over and over and over again as Our Lady of Light for fourteen months, Mary appeared almost for 2 l/2 years on the 5th of the month and then Jesus appeared hanging on the cross in December with His mouth moving, speechless, because nobody’s paying attention to what He’s saying. And then the Father starts speaking in Blue Book 14. When I got the messages from God the Father, there was intense authority. The first day I got that message from God the Father and it came in about seven minutes, both of those messages. I just knew what I went through inside when God the Father spoke and it was forceful and it was authoritative. Mary speaks like Mary, Jesus speaks like Jesus. Mary is the New Eve. Jesus is the New Adam.

Song: A Song from Jesus

R. The new Adam and the new Eve, Jesus and Mary.

Luke 1: 38

Mary said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’

R. And Jesus gave Himself to His death on the cross, always obeying the Father’s will. It is obedience that the Father wants of His children for we are the children of the Father and He wants us to obey Him.

8. Sing Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

9. Hail Mary

10. Hail Mary

R. Christ came and He walked the earth and He told them what they must do and He showed them through His life how to live and they hung Him on a tree. To His death they hung Him on a tree, the all-just and holy one, the King of all Kings, the Almighty God, they hung on a tree. We see Adam and Eve in the garden and we see them willfully take the fruit from the tree and eat.

PRAY the ROSARY.

 

The Visitation

1. Reference: Luke 1: 39-45

2. R. Mary appeared at Clearwater. Mary has visited us in these apparitions. Listen to Mary.

December 19, 1996

Mary: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World. I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.

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

end of December 19, 1996

3. R. And the Father said to read the two messages that were in the Apostles Manual on the 11th and the 18th. I continue to read them and learn more and more each time I read them. He wants us to study them for they are not from Mary and Jesus, but they are from the Father. And the Father has spoken in there and He really wants the Mass Book out. When the Mass Book is circulated, people will attend the Mass in a different way. We do not see that this is the plan from all time. We are living in this little time zone right now in this room. Today is Father’s Day. Today is this, that and the other. But this plan goes back to Adam and Eve and how man has offended God. It goes back to the Visitation. It goes back to the lesson that Mary taught, that she taught us when she said, “be it done unto me according to thy word.”

Reference: Luke 1: 46-48

R. Right, they will call her blessed for she is the mother of the children of light. For God has looked upon His handmaid’s lowliness. We are the lowly ones. He has looked on our lowliness and He has raised us to heights. We receive a sharing in His life in baptism. Let us see Jesus in each other. We need to meditate on the mysteries of the rosary and live in Jesus! How did Jesus treat people? How did Mary treat people? Every act that They did was to please God the Father. We are doing what we are doing for God. Jesus is alive and He lives in us and He lives in this world. We must act for the honor and glory of God - do good acts. I go to the tabernacle to be with Jesus. We are the carriers of the light. We are the carriers of the joy that is alive within us for God has taught us in a very special way. And we must have that connection in our heart and our mind at all times, that whatever I am doing for anybody else I am doing for God and see Him in that person.

4. R. We cannot forget about our intimacy with God. For it is in that intimate time that He gives us strength. But we must realize that sometimes our prayers do not always get done exactly the way that Jesus has told us to try to do them. That we can’t always pray every hour on the hour. So if we think about it 15 minutes late then we pray then. He wants strict adherence to that at the Center. The main function is at the Center to join us together in the Heart of Jesus in prayer. But in our lives, we cannot be caught up to the point where we are anxious when we do not do everything that He has asked us to do. We must try to be saints, to do what He is asking us to do. But our main focus is, is in dealing with others. We see Christ in them, the creation of God the Father.

5. R. We are at a new stage in this movement. We are going out as Mary visited her cousin, Elizabeth. We too, are in the stage of going out. We have our most intimate time with Jesus, which gives us strength but we must see God in others those He called us to work with, and realize that when we are serving them, when we are loving them, when we are making them smile, that we are serving and loving God.

Reference: Matthew 22: 34-40

6. R. We are the Shepherds of Christ. He is living in us in a special way. He has called us to this special core group, and special oneness with Him. Many of the religious are not living up to their commitment of spending time with Jesus and loving Him. He has called us as a lay people and He has given to us a great desire to love Him and to want to be with Him. And we are serving many purposes. And how immensely happy we make God when we spend our time in fervent prayer and loving. We do not even comprehend how one of us individually make Jesus so happy when our whole life is centered on Him, loving Him in others and loving Him in prayer to Him. We have a big mission all right. And the big mission is that He has given us this great oneness with Him and we give Him a lot of joy when we do things in love for Him and for others.

7. Jesus: Do not underestimate the great love that I have for each one of you gathered here. I have joined you to My Heart and it is your individual sacrifice and love that gives Me immense joy. I am treated with such indifference and such hatred by so many. God is greatly offended by the creatures of this earth. And it is through your actions and your love that I receive great happiness from you. I have given to you this great union with Me and in your actions I am immensely happy with the love that you give. You help make reparation for offenses against My Heart and Mary’s Heart.

8. R. Remember Fr. Carter saying a long time ago that we can give Jesus happiness when we love Him and when we do things that make Him happy. Jesus is waiting for us to give Him this great love. For He is offended by the creatures of this earth and He is all deserving and loving of all of our love. Jesus has given to us great gifts that we have squandered and we have not thanked Him for and so many today do not even ever say thanks to Him. Jesus has given to us a great union with Him and we give Him great happiness when we love Him and when we do what the Father wants us to do by obeying Him and spending our life doing just the things that we are trying to do. God is immensely pleased with this core group and each one of us gathered here. We should not look at ourselves and be so hard on ourselves but we should see that God is thanking us and loving us in a special way as His precious chosen ones. And be grateful that God cares for us so much.

9. R. We thank You, our beloved God and we love You.

10. R. Be grateful for these gifts from God to us.

Song: Oh Holy Dwelling Place of God

Song: Hail Holy Queen Enthroned Above

 

The Birth of our Lord Jesus

1. Reference: John 3: 16

2. R. Jesus died for us.

3. R. And we are given this sharing in His life in Baptism. Pray for grace, for this increase of His life in us. We can be permeated and saturated more with His life. The more we go especially to the Eucharist, and stay after Communion in the Mass and sit in front of the tabernacle we can receive abundant grace.

4. Prayer for Union with Jesus

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

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

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

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

The Presentation in the Temple

1. Reference: Luke 2: 25-32

2. Reference: Luke 2: 33-35

R. Mary looked into the face of her Son and she saw Him battered and bruised and bloodied. Mary saw Him with the blood in His eyes. Mary saw His body covered with wounds and Mary knew that despite His suffering that many would throw away the great grace that He wanted to give them. Mary says many of her children are going to hell like rain.

3. Sing: Little Baby Hands and Feet

Reference: John 19: 25-27

4. Mary’s Message - from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him 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. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. 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. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. 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.    end of Mary’s Message

5. R. We must act according to the Father’s will.

6. R. Jesus said on the day of the flood that He would shake the tree and the rotten fruit would fall to the ground and all that would remain on the tree would be the fruit of heaven.

7. Song: We Have Been Told

8. R. And God told them that they could not eat of the forbidden tree. And the garden was the most beautiful place. And they had all the gifts and everything that they needed. But they ate of the fruit of the forbidden tree. 9. R. And the new Adam and the new Eve came and He is hung on a tree and He shows us that to His death on the cross, He obeyed the will of the Father and that Mary stood beneath the cross and that she obeyed the will of the Father. I see this when I see Mary, holding Jesus in her arms. What a testimony to Mary and Jesus living in the Father’s will. Look at them in such sorrow under the cross. Mary, her face is covered with sorrow and Jesus is dead in her arms.

10. R. Such unity between Jesus and Mary – Mary was conceived sinless, Jesus, the Son of God. Unity, Unity, Unity!

The Finding of Our Lord in the Temple

1. R. Mary stood outside of the tomb. Mary could barely stand and she looked and her Son had been locked in the tomb. Can you imagine the sorrow within the heart of Mary as she looked at the locked tomb. Mary cries out to us today about her lost children. Mary knew of those souls that would be locked in the everlasting tomb of hell, never ever, ever to get out.

2. R. And so I wrote yesterday, this is how Mary appeared to me for fourteen months as Our Lady of Light. Mary appears with the sword in her heart and Mary speaks and she says, “I am the Lady of Light. I lament the loss of my precious children. I knew from the prophecy of Simeon so many would be lost.”

Reference: Luke 2: 31-35

3. R. God shows His power by working on the elements, letting water spill on the dry land. Everything operates in order. We take it for granted. God says, “Here, I will get your attention.” We take vegetation for granted. He can take it away. He can turn the moon to blood and dim the sun. Man may not recognize the hand of God. He says it is a happening. God allows the sun to spin in the sky, it is a great gift for us. When He gives a rainbow, when He allows halos around the moon, it is a gift of His love. So too, the devil can cause false lights and give false voices to people to try to get them off guard and confuse the situation. The devil can appear as Our Lady and Our Lord, sometimes, and give false lights and messages. God is all powerful. He says, “you know not the time or the day.” We think we know it all. This audacious pride of man is not to God’s likings. We are dependent on Him.

4. R. God can allow bugs to crawl on the earth and can overwhelm man with them. They can infect man and wipehim out. God is in control, not man. Man is given great gifts from God. Many times man’s intelligence has been used against God’s plans. It is not always in harmony with God’s plan. The television, the movies, the video games have been used to infest the minds of the young. Man has used his great intelligence to promote sin. His intelligence should be used to spread the Good News. Why should God allow men to continue to do so. Man has used medical advances to perfect abortion. Man has killed the great life that God has created, a human person. On March 3, 1997, the day of the Falmouth flood, Jesus spoke and He said, “When the poison reaches the peak of pain, I will pour down the antidote in these revelations.”

Genesis 1:27

“God created man in the image of himself, in the image of God he created him”

R. And man takes the liberty to violate the commandment, ‘thou shalt not kill’ and kills the child God created in His image and likeness in the womb of the mother. Oh men of the earth, abortion is wrong, you anger God and test His great love and mercy given for man.

5. R. The greatest offense is not what we are doing to man, it is how we are offending God. We should be making reparation as a human race for the offenses against Him. God created the whole earth and it’s creatures in six days and He rested on the seventh day. What is it that man is so busy he need not rest on the seventh day. He commands, ‘remember thou keep holy the Sabbath day’, another commandment that is violated.

6. R. The priests and the people are one body in Christ. The priest is another Christ. Man is given the sacraments.

7. R. It is a spousal relationship that Christ wants with us. He gives His body to us in the Mass and we unite with the Divine God in this intense mystical union. God has lifted the veil for us in this core group that we can experience this mystical union with Him. It is a great gift that will happen in the new era. We have been given great gifts and we must be most thankful for the gifts that He has given. But in no way are we to be so hard on ourselves that we do not realize that God loves us immensely and that He is pleased with the acts of love and the acts of sacrifice in giving that we are giving to Him. God has given us this Movement for the renewal of the Church and the world. Pray for faith – Mary has appeared – Let’s do what Jesus and Mary say to do.

8. R. We are making Jesus happy when we love Him and love each other.

9. Song: We Have Been Told

R. We pray to be deeply one in Jesus and let Him operate in us.

Reference: John 17: 20-23

Song: We Have Been Told

Jesus: And so My beloved ones, when they persecute you, when they holler every evil word against you, know that My Father is with you and know that He is protecting you and loving you and that you are spreading My word to those that I love. And if you are silent, they will not hear the words that you speak to them. For I live in you. I am the vine, you are the branches. All who live in Me will bear great fruit.

R. And He will shake the tree and the rotten fruit will fall to the ground and all that will remain will be the fruit of heaven for He is the Almighty God and He created the world in seven days He created the light and He created the darkness and He created the creatures of this earth and He came and gave Himself that we would share in His Divine life and He is giving to us an abundant sharing in this Divine life that we can act in this world as He lives in us. And He is the vine and we are the branches. And we will bear great fruit for we will not wither and die, if we remain in Him. And so as it was in the beginning where He talked about taking the little shoot off of this tree. This is why I thought that this pertains to the Shepherds of Christ.

Reference: Ezekiel 17: 22-24

Reference: Psalm 92: 12-15

Reference: 2 Corinthians 5: 6-10

Reference: Mark 4: 30-34

R. And there was a reading this week and He talked about unveiling the scriptures. He has unveiled the scriptures to us. From Genesis to Revelation. To know God is to know His Word for Jesus is the Word and He is living in our hearts. And when we speak it is like a two-edged sword that penetrates the heart and the soul of those that are the receivers because He is alive in our hearts.

Jesus: And so I say to you My beloved ones, I have called you. You have been chosen by the Father to help accomplish this plan on this earth. Do not be afraid for He guards you night and day.

R. The Father comforts me. And I am not afraid for my greatest desire is to do His will. We love You, our beloved Father. We thank You. We are imperfect. We seek to be more perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect. And we know You more and more through your Son, Jesus, and we grow in our love relationships. We thank you, Jesus, You have given us this Spousal relationship. We can go to You and know Your love. And we thank you Mary, the all perfect mother, the mother that loves us and teaches us love. The more we know God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the more we can imitate God and be healed. And God has given to us each other that we can love more perfectly for we are human persons and we are loving one another as Christ loves through us. And the Holy Spirit binds it all together with the fire of God’s love, permeating and acting within the heart of Mary to help us to be more and more like Jesus, our Savior. The Holy Spirit is working in Mary’s Heart. Amen.

R. The Bread of Life is the Word and the Eucharist. Jesus is the Bread of Life. God gives us a sharing in His life in baptism and nourishes this life with Himself. We’ve been praying for this mission that He’s called us to. Why He called us, He knew that we would say yes.

Say the Our Father.
