Blue Book V is going to the printers today.

This explanation of Blue Book 6 came out of the March 17th, 1995 Blue Book Meeting.

 

The Sixth Book

He Calls Us to Action

Messenger:  This book is a call to action. He gives us His love and He sends us into the world to spread this love to others. We cannot hold back. We need to pray to the Holy Spirit to enlighten us and to give us His courage to carry out the plan of the Father. Holy Spirit transform us from fear to fearlessness. He is one in us. Minute-by-minute, second-by-second, He provides for our needs. Hear His soft voice all through the day say, I love you, I love you, I love you.

    He is the bridegroom of our soul. Enter into such union with Him through His pierced side and dwell deeply in His Most Sacred Heart. As St. Paul said (Gal. 2: 20): "yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me."

    We are one body in Christ. How can I be one in Him and not love you when you are one with Him?

    He talks about the Church, the Priests, and how we are His apostles to spread His love into this world - how we must pray for our priests and one another, pray for the souls in purgatory, pray for the whole Church in union with the Masses being offered throughout the world.

  

Song:  I Love You Jesus

        Age of the Two Hearts

Jesus speaks:  "My beloved priest-companion, I have allowed you to experience in extraordinary fashion the riches contained in My Heart and My Mother's Heart. I desire that you tell all My people about these riches. I desire that My people consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and to Mary's Immaculate Heart. My people are living in the beginnings of the age of the Two Hearts.

    "After the time of the purification is completed, this new era of the Church and the world will become firmly established. This era will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. All those who consecrate themselves to My Heart and to My Mother's Heart will help to establish this glorious new age. I am Lord and Master. Please listen to My urgent request. Within Our Hearts you will experience the love and security, the peace and the joy, which you all desire. I love My people with a tremendous love, and in My love I give them this message!"

From Tell My People by Fr. Edward J. Carter

January 1, 1995

Messenger:  Such intense longing and yearning for God my heart hurt. I see my heart going in Jesus' Heart and my heart must be put in the endless abyss of His love, then my ache is quieted.

    Such intense anguish, put my heart in Jesus' Heart and the pain abates.

Jesus' Sacred Heart is open, open so big, this is what He wanted all along for me to put my heart in His.

    This is the only relief

    Go rest in His Heart

Jesus:  My Heart is open and on fire just for you! Come rest in My Heart, I LOVE YOU!

Messenger:  Ache abates when I go in His Heart.

Messenger:  His Heart is available, I can be one in His Heart.

    Especially around the Eucharist, my heart felt as if it would break.

    To let go to Him -- to pray for the grace to unite to His Sacred Heart -- I want to dwell in Jesus' Heart, to unite in our hearts, to be dropped into the abyss of this great open Heart on fire and ablaze for love of me.

     For relief I felt comforted in putting my heart in His.

    Now I rest in your heart, oh my beloved, the uniting of the two Hearts --

    Mary and His Heart are so closely united.

    Maybe the next step is Mary placing me so deeply, so deeply into Jesus' loving Heart.

Glorious Mysteries

Sing:  Oh Holy Mary

The Resurrection

1.  R. Jesus' lifeless body was locked in the tomb and on the third day He arose as He foretold. 

2.  R. Jesus loved us so much. He died for us. He rose to give us new life.

3.  R. Some women came to the tomb, among them Mary Magdalene, and when they got to the tomb the stone was rolled back.

4.  R. Mary Magdalene was weeping and Jesus appeared to her.

5.  R. Jesus told her to go and tell the others.

6.  R. This is the same Jesus who died on the cross. His body is now glorified. His wounds were glorified wounds, His hands, His feet, His side. He appears in His brightest white. He is triumphant. Death has no power over Him. He is triumphant! He has risen from the dead.

7.  1 Corinthians 15: 54-55

And after this perishable nature has put on imperishability and this mortal nature has put on immortality, then will the words of scripture come true: Death is swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? 

8.  R. Death has no power over Jesus.

9.  Sing: A Song From Jesus

10.  Jesus said:

        I am the resurrection. 
            Anyone who believes in me, even though that person dies, will live,
            and whoever lives and believes in me 
            will never die. 
            Do you believe this?    John 11: 25-26

  Song:  Come Holy Spirit

 

The Ascension

1.  Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  Matthew 28: 19

Luke 24: 45-47

He then opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, ‘So it is written that the Christ would suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that, in his name, repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be preached to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

2.  You cannot have forgotten that all of us, when we were baptised into Christ Jesus, were baptised into his death. So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too should begin living a new life.  Romans 6: 3-4

3.  Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them. Now as he blessed them, he withdrew from them and was carried up to heaven.  Luke 24: 50-51

4.  R. And Jesus raised His arms and He ascended into heaven.

5.  R. This is the glory of this mystery: that Jesus Christ truly ascended into heaven. The Apostles were in such utter amazement as they watched Jesus and a cloud took Him out of sight.

6.  They worshipped him and then went back to Jerusalem full of joy; and they were continually in the Temple praising God.  Luke 24: 52-53

7.  but when the completion of the time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born a subject of the Law, to redeem the subjects of the Law, so that we could receive adoption as sons. As you are sons, God has sent into our hearts the Spirit of his Son crying, ‘Abba, Father’; and so you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir, by God’s own act.  Galatians 4: 4-7

8.  R. Jesus calls us brothers. He took the nature of a man and now, God, ascended into Heaven.

9.  R. Think of the fear in the Apostles' hearts and think of their hearts to see their Beloved Jesus go. He whom they loved so dearly. He whom they were so close to. He taught them; He was with them. He who was God and now He ascended into Heaven.

10.  R. With greatest love for each one of us, Jesus remains with us this day in the Eucharist. He gives Himself to us in His Divinity and humanity; no less present than the day He ascended into Heaven; the day He was carried in Mary's womb; and the day that He hung on the cross to His very death.

Song:  A Song From Jesus

 

Descent of the Holy Spirit

1.  John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’  Acts 1: 5

2.  R. Filled with such fear after Jesus ascended into Heaven, the Apostles locked themselves in the upper room.

3.  When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. Acts 2: 1-3

4.  R. The Holy Spirit transforms us more and more into the image and likeness of God. The Holy Spirit transformed he these Apostles who were full of fear to fearlessness to go out to preach the gospel. And they were not afraid; they were fearless.

5.  R. Dear Holy Spirit please we beg you to fill us with the fire of God's love. Move inside of us, to lead us ever closer more and more to the image and likeness of Jesus. We want to be close to the Father. Through baptism we are given a special sharing in God's life.

6.  Sing:  Come Holy Spirit

7.  R. Mary, our beloved Mother, lead us ever closer and closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Dear Holy Spirit transform us more and more into the image of Jesus.

8.  R. Holy Spirit pour out to us Your gifts so that we may more and more have wisdom and knowledge and understanding. Help us grow closer to Jesus, our Beloved Savior, to the Father, and to You, our Beloved Holy Spirit.

9.  R. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit dwell within each one of us in a special way when we are baptized and in the state of grace. Please take the blinders off of our eyes, Dear Holy Spirit, so that we may see with more vision, clearer, the vision of God. Please work inside of us and help us to know the fire of God's love, this burning love of God inside of our hearts so that we may further join in deeper union with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit and to be ever closer to Mary our Mother.

10.  They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves.  Acts 2: 4

Song: Come Holy Spirit

  

The Assumption of Mary into Heaven

1.  R. Mary was taken body and soul into Heaven.

2.  R. On this special feast day of the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God, we thank you, our Beloved Mother, for being here with us always by our side, for mothering us as you mothered Jesus, and we ask you through Your Immaculate Heart to draw us ever closer to the Most Sacred Heart of your Precious son, Jesus.

3.  R. Mary is sinless and all pure — her heart is pure — and it is more in modeling ourselves likened to Mary that we will become closer and closer to be like Jesus.

4.  R. Mary remained on the earth many years after Jesus' death.

5.  R. Imagine her joy to go up to heaven, to be with God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit in heaven. The Father is her Father, the Son is her Beloved Son, and the Spirit is her Beloved Spouse.

6.  Song:  Immaculate Mary

7.  R. Hail Mary, full of grace! Thank you O Mary you are Jesus' Mother, we love you.

8.  R. Mary, how your heart knew the Heart of Jesus. How you, through your whole life pondered and studied His ways. Lead us through your most tender and Immaculate Heart to the Heart of your Beloved Son. Place us ever so gently in His Heart so that we can be joined in such tender intimacy with Him.

9.      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.   Excerpt from Tell My People

10.  Song:  Eye Has Not Seen

Song:  Come Holy Ghost

  

The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth

1.  Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth. Revelation 12: 1-2

2.  R. This truly is the Mother of God, the Mother-Mary. Mary was Mother of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, born a little baby in the town of Bethlehem. Jesus is the Savior of the world who came to save us from our sins. Mary always complied to the will of the Father to show us how to live, to show us how to love. In this rosary  teach us how to meditate on the love of Mary and Jesus, to meditate on Their lives. To meditate on the love that They have in Their Hearts. Both of Their Hearts were pierced. Mary's heart was pierced with an invisible sword. Jesus' Heart was pierced with a lance. Jesus loved us so much. Jesus died for us. Jesus rose to give us new life. Jesus ascended into heaven. Mary was taken up into heaven. Mary is crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. Jesus is the King of Heaven and Earth.

3.  Song:  See the Eyes That Look at Mary

Mary appeared during this whole rosary
at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center

A Rosary from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary 

Rita and Marty both saw Mary appear in great light during this rosary. This rosary was prayed just prior to the beginning of the Shepherds of Christ Meeting. No songs were sung between the decades because of time constraints. Marty led the rosary. Many people were present ... those who would be attending the meeting.
   

Sorrowful Mysteries

 

The Agony in the Garden

1.  R.  Jesus' greatest agonies were the agonies to His Most Precious Heart.

2.  R.  Jesus loves each soul so much. He saw before Him all the souls that would reject Him and treat Him so coldly all through their lives.

3.  R.  Jesus saw all the souls that would be condemned to eternal damnation.

4.  R.  Jesus saw all the sins of all men for all time.

5.  R.  Jesus' agony was so great that He sweat blood.

6.  Hail Mary

7.  Hail Mary

8.  Hail Mary

9.  Hail Mary

10.  Hail Mary

  

 

The Scourging at the Pillar

1.  R. Be there at the pillar and listen and hear the blows that they give to Jesus. Hear them with your ears. They beat Jesus unmercifully to their own exhaustion.

2.  R. The room was darkened and men, several taking turns, beat Jesus with such violence and such anger.

3.  R. Jesus withstood all of this anger and mistreatment and loved those who beat Him.

4.  R. This is reality: that the Son of God was made man, was born of Mary, and that He suffered this for great love of us.

5.  R. Jesus' once unblemished back was an open wound.

6.  R. But Jesus' greatest agonies were the agonies that He suffered to His Most Sacred Heart because He loves us so much.

7.  R. Jesus stood in a puddle of His own blood. And as they led Him away, the earth was marked with His bloody footprints.

8.  Hail Mary

9.  Hail Mary

10.  Hail Mary

    

The Crowning of Thorns

1.  R. They pounded the piercing thorns into Jesus' Most Precious Head.

2.  R. The blood ran down the side of Jesus' face and into His hair.

3.  R. Think of how it is when you cut your finger. How you look at that cut and nurse that cut. But see Jesus being badly beaten; being scourged at the pillar; and now pounded with a heavy crown of thorns on His head.

4.  R. They clothed Jesus with a dirty purple robe and gave Him a scepter to hold. Then they hit Him and mocked Him and they spit on Him.

5.  R. Jesus was made man. He showed us the way. He loved those who persecuted Him. His Heart hurt so for what they did to Him. He loves all men. His Heart ached so bitterly; ached during this Passion so much for all the men who would not even think about Him. For those people who would receive Him in the Eucharist and be so busy without a thought for Jesus. And Jesus gave His life, gave His all. Jesus truly, the Son of God, was made man and came to this earth that we might have life. Jesus cries out to us this day to please come and to be with Him. Jesus wants us to realize that He is truly present in the Eucharist. That He is there, no less present than the day that He was scourged, than the day that they crowned Him with thorns. Jesus is here this day in the tabernacle in the consecrated host in His Divinity and humanity. Jesus is with us now. He is so close. Mary appears before me here. Mary says she is with us and she loves each one of us so much. She calls us to this love of her Son. She comes to tell us how He loves each one of us and bids us to listen.

6.  Hail Mary

7.  Hail Mary

8.  Hail Mary

9.  Hail Mary

10.  Hail Mary

    

 

The Carrying of the Cross

1.  R. They heaped on Jesus' back a heavy cross laden with the sins of the world; so heavy that Jesus collapsed under this cross. Jesus did not give the cross up. With all His struggles, Jesus carried the cross as His beloved Mother watched. She watched her beloved Son, helplessly; Mary, standing by, unable to raise a hand. Mary's heart torn in her chest to watch her child carry this cross. The blood was all over His body; His arms that held this cross. Think of His arms holding the cross, the wounds to His arms holding this heavy cross. And she calls out to us this day to listen; to be the soldiers that He is asking us to be; to spread His love to this world.

2.  Hail Mary

3.  Hail Mary

4.  Hail Mary

5.  R. Carry your crosses that Jesus gives to you. Carry them and know that Jesus forever is with you; that Mary forever walks by your side in all the sufferings and all the trials that you have; that Mary never leaves you for one minute, as she never left Jesus. Mary walked with Him on Calvary. Mary was forever there. And what seems like a Calvary for us, Mary is there with us, our most loving Mother. Mary mothers us as she mothered Jesus.

6.  Hail Mary

7.  Hail Mary

8.  Hail Mary

9.  Sing:  Lord, let me Walk

10.  Hail Mary

    

 

The Crucifixion and Death of Jesus

1.  R. As Mary held His precious hands and feet as a child, she now watches as they pound Jesus' hands and feet so angrily into the cross.

Song:  Little Baby Hands and Feet

2.  R. Stand with Mary under the cross. The day is darkened by the clouds; and hear the wind as it blows. And Jesus, so close to death. Jesus last thoughts were of us to give to us His Most Beloved Mother.

3.  R. Think of Jesus as He breathes next to His last breath. At any moment, He could have stopped this. But with greatest love for us, He continued until His very death. He gave His all; all of His blood; all of His flesh. Jesus suffered this torture because He loves each one of us so much; and He asks so little. Jesus asks us to love God and to love one another. Jesus asks us to give our lives for our brothers. To give our prayer every day for the sake of the souls that are living, and the sake of the souls that are dead. To realize that they are our brothers. As Jesus stood by and suffered such torture and was scourged for our brothers, as He hung on the cross for our brothers; He asks us to be kind and loving to these, our brothers. We are one in the body of Christ, in the Church. We are brothers, and God is Our Father. Jesus came to show us the way; that we are brothers, that we are God's children. Jesus gave His life that we may enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus is our Savior.

Shepherds of Christ Meeting

  

Mary appeared during this whole rosary
at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center

A Rosary from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary 

Rita and Marty both stated that Mary appeared during the entire rosary and especially during the Sorrows and Litanies. She was so very illuminated, a lady of light. The rosary was prayed as part of the Shepherds of Christ meeting at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. It was the usual Tuesday night Shepherds of Christ prayer meeting. Mary had appeared as usual at 6:30. This was the second rosary this day and Mary appeared all through the rosary as the Shepherds of Christ members were gathered. Rita and Marty were there, Marty led the rosary. Rita's children were there and the whole core chapter.

  

Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection

1.  R. Mary held the lifeless body of her Son in her arms. She wept bitterly outside of His tomb. He was locked in the tomb for three days and on the third day He rose as He foretold to bring us new life.

2.  R. Think of the glorified body of Christ. Think of Him clothed in white and sitting in the chair by the Sorrowful Mother statue. Think of Jesus who died and now is risen and appeared in His glorified body. Death has no power over Him.

3.  R. Mary Magdalene and some of the others went to the tomb; and the stone had been rolled back.

4.  Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father." John 20: 17

5.  "And it happened that as they were talking together and discussing it, Jesus himself came up and walked by their side;  Luke 24: 15

Then, starting with Moses and going through all the prophets, he explained to them the passages throughout the scriptures that were about himself."  Luke 24: 27

6.  Now while he was with them at table, he took the bread and said the blessing; then he broke it and handed it to them.   Luke 24: 30

7.   And their eyes were opened and they recognised him; but he had vanished from their sight.  Luke 24: 31

8.  R.  Jesus gives us the Bread of Life this day. He is present in His Divinity and  humanity in the Eucharist, no less present than the day Mary carried Him in her womb and He died on the cross. He is the Bread of Life.

9.  Sing song:  I am the Bread of Life

10.

John 6: 53-58

Jesus replied to them:

In all truth I tell you,
if you do not eat
   the flesh of the Son of man
and drink his blood,
you have no life in you.
Anyone who does eat my flesh
   and drink my blood
has eternal life,
and I shall raise that person up
   on the last day.
For my flesh is real food
and my blood is real drink.
Whoever eats my flesh
   and drinks my blood
lives in me
and I live in that person.
As the living Father sent me
and I draw life from the Father,
so whoever eats me
   will also draw life from me.
This is the bread
   which has come down from heaven;
it is not like the bread our ancestors ate:
they are dead,
but anyone who eats this bread
   will live for ever.

 

     

The Ascension

1.  R. Think of the windows in this chapel. There are 15 mysteries of the rosary; there are 5 Sorrowful Mysteries and the Death of Christ is right next to the mystery which is the Resurrection. These are the glorious mysteries, each of these mysteries that we meditate on. Jesus rose from the dead; death has no power over Jesus. As you meditate on these mysteries think of the glory of each mystery; that Jesus ascended into Heaven; that the Holy Spirit comes upon the Apostles and transforms them from fear to fearlessness; that Mary is taken up into heaven, body and soul and that she is crowned Queen of Heaven. These are truly the glorious mysteries; think of them as we meditate on each one of these rosary beads.

2.  R. Jesus gave to the Apostles the power to baptize. We receive a special sharing in His life in Baptism. And He gave to the Apostles the power to forgive sins; how awesome it is that priests can forgive our sins.

3.  R. Jesus was born a man. He died and rose and we can share in His life, in a special way through baptism. We are human. It is through Baptism that we become partakers in His Divine Life.

4.  R. Jesus took them out near the town of Bethany and gave them His final blessing.

5.  R. And Jesus raised His arms and ascended into Heaven.

6.  R. Stand with those below who watch in utter amazement as Jesus ascends upward and a cloud takes Him out of sight.

7.  R. Think of their hearts and how they felt to have their Beloved Jesus leave; especially think of how Mary felt in her Heart.

8.  R. Mary saw her Son ascend to the Father; Mary remained on this earth a while longer.

9.  R. The Apostles were filled with fear and they locked themselves in a room.

10.  R. But Jesus has not left. He loves us so much that He did not want to go. Jesus remains with us in His Divinity and humanity this very day in the Eucharist. Jesus remains with us and gives us Himself in the Eucharist. He longs for our love and He loves us so much.

  

The Descent of the Holy Spirit

1.  "John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit."  Acts 1: 5

2.  When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. Acts 2: 1-3

3.  R. And they were filled with the Holy Spirit and transformed from fear to fearlessness.

4.  R. And they went out to preach and everyone understood.

5.  R. It is the Holy Spirit that transforms us more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus. And it is through this transformation that we become more like Jesus.

6.  R. To know Jesus is to become closer to God the Father.

7.  R. Dear Holy Spirit, please come ever more to us and transform our hearts more and more into the image of Jesus.

8.  R. Holy Spirit fill our hearts with the fire of Your love so that we may know Your Divine Love more and make our hearts strong with Your love.

9.  R. Spirit outpour upon us your Divine Love. Give us, Oh Spirit, your gifts, your graces and deeper union with God.

10.  Sing:  Come Holy Ghost

  

The Assumption of Mary into Heaven

1.  R. Mary is taken up into Heaven body and soul.

2.  R. Think of her joy.

3. 

 

4.  R. Heaven is our true home.

5.  R. Mary has not left; she is with us this day. She walks by our side. She says that she is always with us. She never leaves us. She mothers us as she mothered Jesus.

6. R. Mary wants us to realize she is with us at every moment and her Son is with us.

7. R. If we have been baptized and are in the state of grace, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in us in such a special way.

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

9.  Sing Song: Little Baby Hands and Feet

10. Sing Song: Immaculate Mary

  

Mary is Crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth

1.  "Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth." Revelation 12: 1-2

2.  R. Mary, our Beloved Mother, now reigns in the courts of Heaven with her Beloved Son.

3.  Sing:  Hail Holy Queen

4.  Sing:  On this Day

5.  "What no eye has seen and no ear has heard, what the mind of man cannot visualise; all that God has prepared for those who love him;" 1 Corinthians 2:9

6.  R. If we knew just a little bit of Jesus' immense love for us, we would never fear. And what reward there is for those who love and serve the Lord. We should spend our whole life in being ever closer to God. The deeper our union here on earth, the deeper our union in Heaven will be with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

7.  R. Jesus longs to be so close to us; so closely united. Mary is forever with us. They are here with us as we pray the rosary. They are so close and they want you to know how close they really are. But Jesus is truly present here with us in the Eucharist, He is the same Jesus who rose from the dead; the same Jesus who ascended into Heaven. Mary was there all through Jesus' life. The same Mary who stood under the cross is by your side and they are with us as we pray this rosary.

8.  Song:  Immaculate Mary

9.  R. It is through these two Hearts, through the love that Mary has and the love that Jesus has for each one of us that we will grow closer and closer in our union with the Father and the Holy Spirit. It is these two Hearts that are so full of love for us, that were pierced. Mary's heart was invisibly pierced with a sword; Jesus' Heart was pierced with a lance. In love there is always suffering. These two Hearts love us so much; and Mary wants us to know that she loves us so much and she is with us here and with us this very day. Mary is here with us now and she wants us to draw our hearts ever closer to the Heart of her Beloved Son, for He waits and longs, and loves us so very much.

10.   Song:  Hail Holy Queen

 

Seven Sorrows of Mary

1.  The Prophecy of Simeon.   R. From the time that Mary was told that Jesus and she would suffer, every time she beheld the child, she knew of the suffering to come. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.

Mary has promised very special graces to those who do this on a daily basis. Included in the promises of Our Lady for those who practice this devotion is her pledge to give special assistance at the hour of death, including the sight of her face.  From the Prayer Manual

2.  The Flight into Egypt.   After they had left, suddenly the angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, ‘Get up, take the child and his mother with you, and escape into Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, because Herod intends to search for the child and do away with him.’ So Joseph got up and, taking the child and his mother with him, left that night for Egypt, where he stayed until Herod was dead. This was to fulfil what the Lord had spoken through the prophet: I called my son out of Egypt. Herod was furious on realising that he had been fooled by the wise men, and in Bethlehem and its surrounding district he had all the male children killed who were two years old or less, reckoning by the date he had been careful to ask the wise men. Then were fulfilled the words spoken through the prophet Jeremiah: A voice is heard in Ramah, lamenting and weeping bitterly: it is Rachel weeping for her children, refusing to be comforted because they are no more.
  Matthew 2: 13-18

3.  The Finding of Jesus in the Temple.   R. Joseph's and Mary's hearts were in such sorrow to lose the child Jesus in the Temple. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.

4.  Jesus and Mary meet on the Way to the Cross.   R. See Mary and Jesus as They peer into each other's eyes on the way to Calvary. This is the intimacy between these two Hearts. This is Mary seeing her Beloved Son as He suffered; and Jesus seeing His Beloved Mother with such suffering. The love that these two Hearts have for us is in that peering look. Mary calls to us this day to know that these two Hearts love us so dearly and call us ever closer to Them. And a sword, too, shall pierce your heart, O Mary.

5.  Jesus Dies on the Cross. 

6.  Mary held His Lifeless Body under the Cross.   R. The same person, the same baby that she once held in her arms; she now holds the lifeless body of her Son. Without a breath in His body, Jesus gave His all for love of us. And Mary calls out to us today to come to the love of her Son. To be His light that shines in the darkness; to witness to this world which is in so much need of His love; to be His light in this world; to be His love that radiates to this world; to touch those hearts that are so hardened with hatred and anger; and to spread the love of Jesus flowing through us to the beloved souls that are in so much suffering.

7.  Jesus is Locked in the Tomb.   R. And Mary weeps bitterly outside. Jesus was wrapped in swaddling clothes as a baby; and now He was wrapped and laid in the tomb. He was totally lifeless. Jesus rose on the third day to give us a sharing in His life. He gives us His love.

Let the Spirit Move in You

    The Church is the Body of Christ. One of the truths that is emphasized by this concept is the idea of community. The communion that binds the members of the Church together is, in turn, connected with that wider idea of community that embraces the whole of mankind....

    The Christian community is a terrestrial reflection of the ultimate and absolute community—namely, the Trinity. In a special way, we are privileged to give witness to Trinitarian life, a life of divine intimacy and loving. From all eternity, the persons of the Trinity are united in the most intimate bonds of knowledge and love; these have also brought about creation and redemption.

     Grace, or the Christ-life, is a created participation in Trinitarian life. This Christ-life, consequently, calls us to a special existence of knowing and loving. Christian faith and love, which are created participations in the Trinity's knowing and loving, allow us to know and love God in a special manner. Faith and love also give us a new capacity to relate to both our fellow Christians and to all others as well.  Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward J. Carter

R. We are brothers, if one member suffers the whole body suffers.

Jesus:  Open yourselves up and see the big picture. You have such limited vision. See through the eyes of God. You do not see your brother starving to death, you do not see your brother suffering, see with the eyes of God. Pray for vision. Make your life a constant prayer, praising always in the Spirit.

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.   Excerpt from Tell My People

Jesus:  Praise God, sing songs, now is the time for rejoicing, My time is near at hand. First, there will be a time of purification and men's hearts will then turn to God. Oh My beloved ones, I am so close to you. You see so little, you are so blind and it is right before your eyes. Look at My Church, you are members of one body, I am the head of My Church. Harken to Me to stay fixed in Me. Live in the Spirit. Let the Holy Spirit fill you and lead you to greater life in Me.

Then we shall no longer be children, or tossed one way and another, and carried hither and thither by every new gust of teaching, at the mercy of all the tricks people play and their unscrupulousness in deliberate deception. If we live by the truth and in love, we shall grow completely into Christ, who is the head by whom the whole Body is fitted and joined together, every joint adding its own strength, for each individual part to work according to its function. So the body grows until it has built itself up in love.  Ephesians 4: 14-16

For as with the human body which is a unity although it has many parts—all the parts of the body, though many, still making up one single body—so it is with Christ. We were baptised into one body in a single Spirit, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as free men, and we were all given the same Spirit to drink.  1 Corinthians 12: 12-13

He is the image of the unseen God, the first–born of all creation, for in him were created all things in heaven and on earth: everything visible and everything invisible, thrones, ruling forces, sovereignties, powers—all things were created through him and for him. He exists before all things and in him all things hold together, and he is the Head of the Body, that is, the Church. He is the Beginning, the first–born from the dead, so that he should be supreme in every way; because God wanted all fullness to be found in him and through him to reconcile all things to him, everything in heaven and everything on earth, by making peace through his death on the cross.  Colossians 1: 15-20

Jesus:  Allow the Spirit to move in you, as you operate, you operate as God has planned by following God's will. Make yourself selfless and totally surrender yourself to the will of God. Let the Spirit of God move in you. Oh My beloved ones, see with the vision of God. I give to you such graces and you in your stubbornness do your own will. I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life. I impart to you a sharing in My Divine Life through baptism. I give you a special sharing of My Divine Love. Be open in your heart, be pure, lift your minds and hearts up to God. You are My soldiers to spread the love of God, you cannot underestimate what one soul fixed on Me can do for this world. My force is Mighty, the Spirit wants to fill you, the Father is forever with you. Oh children, oh children, how ornery is your ways, how simple My ways. My way is the way of love. You are united in Me.

    The Church is the Body of Christ. One of the truths that is emphasized by this concept is the idea of community. The communion that binds the members of the Church together is, in turn, connected with that wider idea of community that embraces the whole of mankind....  Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward J. Carter

Jesus:  Your brothers are your brothers, love and cherish them, it is in loving them that you love Me. See Me in their eyes. See the Creation of the Father. See Me beaten, bloodied and bruised for love of them. See My children. You walk this barren desert with such blindness. My land is brimming with milk and honey. My life, I impart to you this day, open your hearts and let My love live in you. Oh beloved ones, pray for more and more grace, pray the Prayer for Union with Jesus. I am your God, I come to you this day and give to you My greatest love, My Heart burning and on fire, come and rest in My Heart, it is open and waiting, longing for you. I am Jesus, your God, I love you so much.

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.

Feast of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton

In Baptism we Receive a Sharing in His Divine Life

Rita and Marty stated that Mary appeared brightly during the entire rosary. She was brilliant!! Rita, Marty, Rita's children and others were present.

Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection

        1.  R. Jesus died on the cross and His lifeless Body was placed in the tomb for three days. He rose from the dead. Death has no power over Jesus.  

        2.  R. Think of Jesus, with His glorified Body all clothed in white, in such glory coming from the tomb on Easter Morning.  

        3.  R. Jesus' disciples did not understand what Jesus said, about how He would be raised up on the third day.  

        4.  R. Think of Mary as she wept bitterly outside of the tomb, and now Jesus rose from the dead.  

        5.  R. Jesus allows us to endure sufferings. Sufferings, He allows us to endure can help bring us to greater life in Him if we stay united to Jesus in the suffering.  

        6.  R. Jesus died that He could bring us new life.  

        7.  R. We receive Jesus in the Eucharist. Jesus did not want to leave His beloved ones at the Last Supper. Jesus remains with us this day in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity.  

        8.  Sing:  I Am the Bread of Life  

        9.  R. Jesus gave to the Apostles the power to baptize and to forgive sins. 

        10.  R. Our human nature is elevated to such heights through baptism. It is in Baptism we receive a sharing in His Divine life.

Romans 6: 3-4

You cannot have forgotten that all of us, when we were baptised into Christ Jesus, were baptised into his death. So by our baptism into his death we were buried with him, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the Father’s glorious power, we too should begin living a new life.

        Song between decades: Come Holy Spirit

 

The Ascension

          1.  Our Christ-life permeates our persons completely. Nothing which is good is destroyed. All is elevated to a new level of existence, for through grace we enter a new life. St. Paul affirms: "And for anyone who is in Christ, there is a new creation; the old creation has gone, and now the new one is here." (2 Co 5:17)   Excerpt from Response in Christ By Fr. Edward J. Carter

          2.  Why are we able to live on a new level of existence through grace? The answer lies in the fact that we receive a created sharing in the divine nature. Nature, we know, is a principle or capacity of operation according to a certain level of existence. An angel can perform acts of an angel because he has an angelic nature. A man can know intellectually because he has a rational nature. Likewise, through our Christ-life of grace we can perform God-like acts because we have received a new nature. Scripture speaks to us about our participation in the nature of God. In one of the most noted passages of the New Testament on the life of grace, we read: "By His divine power, he has given us all the things we need for life and for true devotion, bringing us to know God himself, who has called us by his own glory and goodness. In making these gifts, he has given us the guarantee of something very great and wonderful to come: through them you will be able to share the divine nature and to escape corruption in a world that is sunk in vice." (2 P 1:3-4).  Excerpt from Response in Christ by Fr. Edward J. Carter

         3.  Then he took them out as far as the outskirts of Bethany, and raising his hands he blessed them.  Luke 24:50

 4.  R. Think of seeing Jesus as He ascends up into heaven.

         5.  Jesus:  Oh ye of little faith, you have little faith. Do you not see that I have all the power? Do you not see that I rose on the third day and ascended into heaven. You see with such limited vision. The things that you see are such small things. I ask you to see more with the vision of God, to see the whole picture, to see Me as I ascended into heaven, to see My power and My might, to see that God became Man and died on the cross for love of you. Open your eyes and pray to the Spirit so that you may see more and more the picture that I am giving to you this day. This is My world. You are in My world, Your breath depends on Me.  

        6.  R. Jesus longs for us to be so close to Him.

Song:  A Song from Jesus

        7.  R. Jesus gives us a special sharing in His life through baptism.

        8.  R. Jesus is with us this very day. God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us in a special way when we are in the state of grace.

        9.  R. We lack faith. We do not see that God has all the power.

        10.  R. Jesus rose on the third day. Jesus ascended into heaven. Jesus is with us. We see with such limited vision. We must see the big picture. See with the eyes of God.

              God became man and died on the cross for love of us. We must open our eyes and pray to the Holy Spirit to help us see our every breath depends on God.

    

        The Descent of the Holy Spirit  

         1.  "John baptised with water but, not many days from now, you are going to be baptised with the Holy Spirit.’" Acts 1: 5

         2.  R. The Apostles were so afraid they had locked themselves in the upper room.

         3.  R. The Holy Spirit appeared as parted tongues of fire above their heads.  The Spirit transformed their fear from fear to fearlessness.  

         4.  R. Holy Spirit, descend upon us gathered here and fill us with courage in our hearts. Let Your Spirit move within us so that our actions may be those the Father intended us to do. Give us the courage to spread Your love to this world in which many have forgotten God. Give us all that we need. Help us to answer your call. We are being called by You to do this work. Impart to us strength, fearlessness, courage to spread the knowledge of the love of Jesus throughout this world.  

        5.  R. Please dear Holy Spirit move within each one of us. Holy Spirit fill us with the fire of God's love. Outpour Your grace upon us. Mary, filled with the Holy Spirit, proclaimed the greatness of the Lord in the Magnificat. 

Luke 1: 46-55

                The Magnificat

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.

        6.  R. Dear Holy Spirit help us to be filled with song in our hearts all through the day.

        7.  Song:  A Song from Jesus  

        8.  Song: Come Holy Spirit

        9.  Song: Come Holy Ghost  

        10. R. Dear Holy Spirit please fill us.

   

        The Assumption of Mary into Heaven  

        1.  R. Mary was taken body and soul into heaven.  

        2.  R. Mary remained on the earth many years after Jesus’ death.

        3.  R. Think of what it would be like to see Mary go up into heaven.  

        4.  R. Mary was taken up into heaven. We worry about these little details of our life. Jesus tells us the very hairs of our head are numbered. He forever guards us and watches us with such loving care.  

        5.  R. Jesus ponders our heart and He thinks about us far more than we ever realize. He knows our innermost desires more than we know our own desires. He loves us and cares for us and watches us.  

        6.  R. Heaven is our true home. Think of Mary's joy to go to heaven.  

        7.  Sing:  Immaculate Mary

        8.  R. God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, want close union with each one of us.  

        9.  R. Through the Spirit we are transformed more and more into the image and likeness of Jesus. The Holy Spirit works in Mary's heart to transform us more into this image and likeness of Jesus. Jesus takes us to the bosom of the Father.  

       10. "But our homeland is in heaven and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transfigure the wretched body of ours into the mould of his glorious body, through the working of the power which he has, even to bring all things under his mastery." Philippians 3:20-21

   

        The Coronation of Mary as Queen of Heaven and Earth  

         1.  Mary: I am your Mother, Mary and I come to you this day with great love that I give to you. I take you ever closer to my Son, Jesus. I place you in His Most Sacred Heart. Jesus is waiting for you, Jesus is longing for you. Jesus wants to be ever closer in union with you. This time is so short. Jesus wants you with Him for all eternity. You will be united in such oneness to God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in heaven. Turn your hearts to God, open your hearts wide. Let Jesus come into your heart and be so close to you. Jesus forever guards you, watches you, protects you and leads you more and more to the Father. The Trinity loves you so much. I am Mary, your Mother and I thank you for responding to this call.

         2.  Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.  Revelation 12: 1

         3.  R. Mary is Queen of Heaven. Mary is one with God: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

         4.  Song:  Eye has not Seen  

         5.  R. We cannot fathom what is in store for us if we love and serve God. Jesus loved us so much that He gave His life for us. He is forever with us, as our heart beats. He is with us and so close. He loves us even when we are not thinking of Him.  

         6.  Song:  May the angels take you into paradise, may the martyrs greet you on your way. May you see the face of the Lord, your God. Alleluia, Alleluia.  

         7.  R. We do not see the big picture, the big picture that there is truly a heaven. We see such little details and focus on those little details as if they are so important. Jesus is with us every moment. We focus on the little details and miss the big picture. We live to be forever united with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; and with the Blessed Mother and angels and saints forever and ever in heaven.  

         8.  R. We are human, we see human things. Jesus is Divine. Through Baptism, we receive this sharing in His Divine life. He gives us His Divine Love. He gives Himself to us in  the Eucharist. We receive His Divine love. We reach for such little things which seem of such great importance. God has all the power and all the might. He gives Himself to us. He wants us to come and receive His love outpoured in the Eucharist.

         9.  R. We must have faith. We must trust God and love Him. He loves us so much.   

         10.  R. Jesus outpours His life to us. It is through this grace we know and love Him more. We must pray to Him for grace. God gives me the grace to know more and more His great love. Through His grace we will understand deeper insights into the mystery of the Trinity. 

R. We see with such limited vision when this is His world and He is waiting to give us deeper insights into the mysteries through His grace. He wants to give His love to us. He says to look at the big picture. Do not focus on the little details. Know that He forever loves us, every second, that He cares about us so much. We must constantly have before our eyes this big picture of the world, not to see a little area but to see all our brothers. If one member is hurting the whole body hurts. Christ is the head of His body, the Church. The Church is the body of Christ. We are one body in Him.

    The vision of God is so immense that we need His grace to see this vision. You must pray constantly for the grace to see and understand more and more the vision of God.

    The Christian community is a terrestrial reflection of the ultimate and absolute community—namely, the Trinity.

January 5, 1995 - 6:45 a.m.

See the Big Picture

Jesus: My dear child,
I want you to see the big picture. My messages are not for two or three. My messages are for all souls. Souls are at stake. You contain the mighty medicine to draw men's hearts back to My burning love. I am Jesus. Put everything aside and focus only on Me talking to you.

    The world is hurting. Men's hearts are so cold. They do not see beyond themselves. They do not see that God is with them this day. Little one, you were created to know, love and serve God. God must be first in your life. Many in your country have denied the existence of God. The batting of an eye, the dropping of a pin, and your life is over.

    See with the eyes of God. See with the vision of God. God is eternal, God sees time as one. You do not see because you do not pray for grace.

    You see with limited vision. You think with a human mind. You use a human mind to judge the things of God. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I came to this world to lead all men to heaven. I come to you this day. Do you think God comes to talk to a few? I came to lead all souls to everlasting happiness.

    Pray for vision. I see not a little town, I see all men, yet, I love each soul so uniquely. You do not understand the mind of God. You do not see as I see. I ask you to give My love to all. You see a few and love a few. You are one body, all men are your brothers. I came to give My Life to all men.

    You must pray for vision and grace to do the will of the Father. My plan is unfolding and it depends on you. One person fixed on the love of God can radiate such might and power.

    You cannot light the city without My power. My power I pour out to you in the Eucharist. My power I pour out to you when you sit in front of My tabernacle. You cannot do it without My might, My power. I am the Power, I am your All.. You see yourself as controlling so many things and being so strong. Your power comes from Me. To do the work I am calling you to, you must have the might of God. You see yourself with a little area and a little job. I am calling you to love all. I am calling you to radiate love. I am calling you to light up the world with My love. I am calling you to make a difference in the lives of so many souls. Your love given through Me will change so many hearts.

    Pray to the Spirit to transform your hearts to be more and more like Mine. Go to Mary and unite with Our Hearts. The more you unite to Our Hearts, the more the Spirit pours out His grace to transform your hearts. You do not ask for that life I want to give you. My Life, My grace, My vision, I pour out to you in the Eucharist. Oh, children, you are so blind. I speak to you, your Mother comes and appears and you see only in front of your face.

    I come to you this day to deliver this message. Open your hearts to My love. Come to Me at Mass and in Communion with this open heart to receive divine love and divine life. Sit in front of Me in the tabernacle. I beg you. Times are coming when the things you hold onto so tightly will wither in front of your faces.

    You are one body in Christ. See the big picture. See the world. See heaven. See all souls living and dead. See the Church as one. See, My children. You in your ways hold onto such little things. You see only in front of your faces.

    I call, I knock, My Mother appears and calls each of you here this day. You are soldiers in My army to lead souls to My love. I need strong soldiers. I am fortifying you with My Body and Blood. I give to you this day in the Eucharist. You will radiate with the love of God when you turn your hearts to the Eucharist. I am present no less than the day I hung on the cross. You look for little signs and Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is here. I am here in My Divinity and Humanity in the Eucharist as present as the day I died on the cross, as the day I walked on Calvary, as the day I was born in Bethlehem. I wait in the tabernacle to fortify you with your supplies to spread My love. You do not see because you do not come for your supplies.

    Please take Me seriously. Time is short. You need to turn to My Eucharistic Heart. Come to this Center and pray. Come to My tabernacle. Attend Mass and Communion.

    Be with Me after Communion. How eagerly I wait to be with you. Pray the rosary with the meditations I have given you. Be there in the lives of Jesus and Mary as you pray the rosary. Pray to the Spirit. All day pray to the Spirit to fill you with the fire of His love. Pray all day for Him to transform you more and more into My image. Pray all day to be soldiers in My army spreading My love to this world. I call you this day. Will you answer Me?

               

January 5, 1995 - Before the Exposed Eucharist after Communion

The Church is the Body of Christ

R. Heard at Mass

Live in the Spirit

I saw a vision — church was shaped
    as a tabernacle in the center
    was the host.

The Church is the Body of Christ. One of the truths that is emphasized by this concept is the idea of community. The communion that binds the members of the Church together is, in turn, connected with that wider idea of community that embraces the whole of mankind....  Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward J. Carter

R. The Church is the Body of Christ

    Jesus is the Head.
    We are all one in Him. See the
    big picture, we cannot cut ourselves
    off from one member. We must be
    totally open to Him.

The Spirit is the love between the Father
    and the Son. The Spirit is He who
    transforms us more and more into
    the image of Jesus which leads
    us to the Father.

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.   Excerpt from Tell My People

R. Let the Spirit Move in us.

    Wake us up oh Spirit, let us see that God is here this day and in our midst.

    Move us, open us, let us see with the vision you impart to us,
    Dear Holy Spirit move in the people of the Church.

    The Spirit is life, the Church is alive with this Spirit, we must be open to let Him move in us.

    Fill us with the FIRE of your love. Open our hearts. Let us feel the Spirit, His love and His life in us.

    Holy Spirit move in us.

    Move us, open us, that we may see that Jesus Christ the Son of God, came and lived among us and is here this day.

    Waken our hearts to know God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, dwelling in such a special way in the soul filled with God's grace.

    Who, who are we that God loves us so much?

    See the greatness of God, His might, God cares for us with such great love, every detail of our heart He ponders.

    We do not understand this. God loves us so much. God is a Supreme Being. We must let go and surrender to God who created us and God loves us so abundantly THIS DAY.

    The fire of His love, Oh Spirit of God — COME ALIVE IN US LET US FEEL the love and life of the DIVINE GOD within our hearts.

    Impart to us in abundance your grace, fill us with your fire, so that we may be filled more and more with your grace.

Song:  Spirit of the Living God

Song:  Spirit Song

    Oh Holy Spirit fill us.  

Galatians 2: 19-20

I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living, subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.

R. The Spirit fills my soul, God's presence pervades my soul, I am alive with His life, it is the life of the one true God.

    Full, Full of life God fills me with this life more and more. I become one in Him, where I was lost and afraid, I am filled more with His life, permeating my very being.

    Oh God I love you —

    Who am I that you come and dwell in me?

    I was filled with the Spirit. I was filled with God's love. Mary was filled with the Spirit, when she proclaimed the Magnificat. My soul is filled with His life and I sing the song of the soul. 

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.

R. Glory, Glory is His Name, He's mighty and worthy of all love and praise, bow before God. God is present in the exposed Eucharist here and I who am a lowly creature, have been raised to such heights at His presence.

    Alleluia, praise the Lord, our God, Holiest in the Heights at His name all knees must bend in worship, for He is God, one true, and mighty and worthy of the highest praise.

    Oh my God, I scarce can stand such the joy of your presence, no words to describe this — the realization that you are present and you are God, such ecstasy to behold your presence, my God, my God, my heart feels as if it will burst with fullness. Oh my God, my God take me to the heights of your presence, this is LIFE, this is vibrancy, no words to describe this presence of You my God, my all, my precious God. All praise and honor to you, Shout it from the roof, dance in the streets for He is GOD!! Truly present and Here this very DAY! ALLELUIA — SING, SING SONGS OF JOY, let your hearts chant songs of praise for He is mighty and worthy of all honor and praise, Alleluia.

    I feel as if my heart will explode, will burst with the realization that God is truly present, God is here Alleluia!! Praise this God, this good God who loves and cares for us, this day, Alleluia. Sing out, Shout into the night. He is here, He has died, He is risen and Jesus Christ the Son of God comes to earth and longs for our love. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are present in this room. Alleluia!

Sing:  Your Presence Pervades My Soul

Sing:  Glory, Glory, Glory Lord

                

From Tell My People

 

Build up My Church

Jesus: "My beloved friend, remind My people that the Church was born from My Heart, pierced with the soldier's lance on Calvary. From My pierced Heart the Church with her sacraments was born. Two of these sacraments, the Eucharist and Baptism, were symbolized by the Blood and Water which flowed forth from My pierced side.

"As the Church was born from My pierced Heart, so does the Church's life grow from the graces I continually give her from My pierced Heart—this Heart which is now glorified. "I call all the members of My Church to help build up My Body, the Church, by coming to My pierced Heart. United to My Heart, and dwelling within It, I will give to each one the light and strength to carry out My Father's will in the building up of My Church.

"Mary is Mother and Model of the Church. As 'Mother of the Church,' she intercedes for all the graces the members need to contribute to the building up of My Church. As Model—as perfect imitator of Me—she shows the children of the Church how all, individually and collectively, are to be increasingly formed in My image. As all come to My Heart for the building up of the Church, let them do so united to the Heart of Mary.

"My Church is experiencing critical and very difficult times. There are many divisions. There are many false teachings, including some put forth by certain theologians. These false teachings occur because those responsible are not in proper union with My vicar, the Pope, and the Church Magisterium. I want all My children to pray daily for the cure of the many and serious ills of the Church. With increased prayer and sacrifices for the health of the Church, that day will soon come when the Church will be purified and revitalized. When that day comes, the Church will be a light to all nations as never before. When that day comes, the renewed Church will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. Thus the message of Fatima will have reached fulfillment.

"I am Lord and Master. I request that all My people listen to My words and respond to them. I love My people with a tremendous love, and in this great love I give them this message!"

Reflection: In speaking of the Church, St. Paul tells us:

"Just as a human body, though it is made up of many parts, is a single unit because all these parts, though many, make one body, so it is with Christ. In the one Spirit we were all baptized, Jews as well as Greeks, slaves as well as citizens, and one Spirit was given to us all to drink....

"Now you together are Christ's body; but each of you is a different part of It. In the Church, God has given the first place to apostles, the second to prophets, the third to teachers; after them, miracles, and after them the gift of healing; helpers, good leaders, those with many languages. Are all of them apostles, or all of them prophets, or all of them teachers? Do they all have the gift of miracles, or all have the gift of healing? Do all speak strange languages, and all interpret them?" (1 Corinthians 12:12-30).

In His message above, Jesus reminds all of us that we have a responsibility to help in the building up of the Church. St. Paul reminds us that we each have our own role. He names many of these roles and there are many who share in them. For example, there are many teachers of various kinds in the Church. But each teaches according to his or her personal uniqueness. Consequently, we can truly say that each one has a mission, has a role, in the life of the Church which no one else can fulfill. To the extent each of us gives his or her life to Christ, we continue His work upon earth through the visible, tangible humanity each of us possess. To the extent each of us fails to surrender to Jesus, to that extent we refuse Him the opportunity to live through our personal uniqueness. What an awesome privilege has been given to each of us! And what an awesome responsibility!

   

January 5, 1995

R. On January 5, 1995, the Father spoke in front of the altar at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. This altar, I believe, was in Holy Cross Monastery.

        He said: "I am the Father, My plan will unfold despite any willfulness."

  

January 5, 1995

The Church is a Fountain of His Life

R. The Church is a fountain of His life. God outpours His grace to us through the Church. God feeds us in His Church. Jesus gives us His Body and Blood.

Jesus:  I want to dwell most intimately in the hearts of My priests and sisters. I will radiate such love to the world through them. I call out a cry to come for My love, come for My grace, they will be led back to Me. I outpour My grace to them in My Church.

    The Spirit is alive in My Church. I outpour My love to My people, the Church is filled with My love. The love of God is a fire. I outpour My grace to you in My Church.

    My Church is a Pilgrim Church. My priests must love the Eucharist and tell all how I feed them. I give myself to them in the Eucharist. The priest should adore Me as the Risen Lord. The priest should love the consecrated host.

    What honor My beloved priests I bestow on you, that you can change the bread and wine into My Body and Blood. Oh My beloved sons, do you not see I cry out to you to come to My Eucharistic Heart. I give you Myself in My Eucharist. I am God. I am, the I AM. I am God, you do not see because you are not open in your hearts. Let the Spirit fill your hearts and fill your souls with the fire of the love of God. Let the Spirit move in your hearts. As the Spirit moves more in your hearts, He will move with burning fire, more and more in My Church. I want to renew My Church. Pray to the Holy Spirit. Adore My Eucharistic Heart. Pray to My Mother's Immaculate Heart for renewal. Pray, pray that the hearts of all My priests will be opened through the grace I am outpouring to them. Through this Movement Shepherds of Christ, I will lead My priests deeply back to My Eucharistic Heart. Oh pray, pray for your priests to cooperate with the grace I am giving to them to respond to the Movement.

    I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock and I ask for your commitment to this Movement today. Pray to the Spirit to transform you from fear to fearlessness. Pray to the Spirit to open your hearts to My grace, to follow the Father's plan for you. Oh My children you are so important to this plan.

    It is through My Eucharistic Heart through Mary's heart, you will be led to the Father's great love for you. As the Spirit moves in you, as He transforms your hearts more and more into My image, I will lead you to the Father and His great love for you.

    It is through the love of Our two Hearts, Jesus and Mary, you will be led to such union with the one Triune God.

    I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock, I have called you to spread My love to this world. It is through the love of Our two Hearts the flock will be led back to the love of God.

R. GOD is alive, He is in our midst this day. When we are baptized and in the state of grace, He dwells in us in such an abundant way. Open up to the Spirit to transform us more and  more into the image and likeness of Jesus. Pray to the Spirit to fill you with the fire of His love.

    The air could be poisoned this very second and I would cease to be. What seems so important, the little details may be of no importance if I die. What goes with me forever are the spiritual things, the love in My heart — the love for God — etc. — Help me to see the things of God in my heart, to live as He wants Me to live, to be more united to Him, so I can say:

Galatians 2: 19-20

I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me. The life that I am now living, subject to the limitation of human nature, I am living in faith, faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.

Feast of St. John Neumann

This was done at Our Lady Queen of Reading Prayer Group 

Joyful Mysteries

  

The Annunciation

1.  R. The angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and asked Mary to be the Mother of God.

2.  R. With such faith and trust in God, she said yes to the angel.

3.  R. Mary was filled with the Holy Spirit and the Word became flesh.

4.  Song:  Come Holy Spirit

5.  R. There was such intimacy between Jesus and Mary from the first moment of conception.

6.  R. Jesus' little life grew within Mary's womb.

7.  R. It was in Mary's womb that the Most Sacred Heart was formed.

8.   R. Jesus wants to be alive in our hearts.

9.  R. Carry His light with such honor as Mary carried the child Jesus within her womb.

10.  Song:  O Holy Mary  

Song between decades:  Ave, Ave, Ave Maria

   

 

The Visitation

1.  Mary set out at that time and went as quickly as she could into the hill country to a town in Judah.  Luke 1: 39

2.  Now it happened that as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.  Luke 1: 41

3.  And Mary said: My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord⁴⁷and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour;   Luke 1: 46

4.  Song:  My Soul Rejoices

5.  because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,   Luke 1: 48

6.  for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,    Luke 1: 49

7.  R. Jesus comes to us today, no less present in the Eucharist than He was in Mary's womb. If we saw Mary with Jesus in her womb, we would be in such awe. But Jesus comes to us and gives us Himself. He comes inside of us with such love. Do we realize that He is truly present when we receive Him in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity. He is present the same as He was in Mary's womb. Should we not jump for joy to have Jesus come inside our hearts as He does in the Eucharist?

8.  R. Jesus loves us so much. At the Last Supper, He gave us the Eucharist. He wants to remain with us this very day; the same as the day He walked the earth; the same as the day that Mary carried Him in her womb; the same as the day that He hung on the cross. He comes inside of us, present in His Divinity and humanity. With greatest love that God comes to us.

9.  R. Jesus says to open up your hearts. This is a night for you to open your heart to the fire of God's love. Jesus came in the Eucharist with such love to us, He wants us to know how He longs and waits to be with us. He longs for us to come to the Eucharist, to come to the altar and to receive Him.

10.  Hail Mary

   

 

The Birth of Jesus

1.  R. God came to this earth, He took on a human nature. He comes with greatest love as a baby in a manger. He comes with such poverty. But the glories of that night: the angels are present and they sing and Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is born a man for greatest love of us. He came to show us the way. God took on the nature of a man because He loves us so very, very much.

2.  R. The cows and the sheep and the shepherds came.

3.  R. Jesus was born in a manger.

4.  Song:  Angels We Have Heard on High

5.  Song:  What Child is This

6.  Song:  Away in a Manger

7.  Song:  O Come Let Us Adore Him

8.  R. What the birth of the baby Jesus did to change all of salvation history.

9.  R. Jesus was laid in a manger at birth.

10.  R. And Jesus hung from a cross at His death — both bare wood. No where to lay His head. This was Jesus Christ, the Son of God. He came into the world born a man to show us the way. His Father loved us so much that He gave His only Son that we may have life eternal. Jesus calls out to us this day to see the reality that this is His world; that He is here and present with us this day; that He remains with each one of us in a special way when we are baptized and in the state of grace. In such a special way He remains in our hearts. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us in a special way in our hearts when we remain in the state of grace. But God comes to us in the Eucharist in His Divinity and humanity, the same as the day He was born in a manger in Bethlehem.

   

 

The Presentation of Jesus in the Temple

1.  When the eighth day came and the
