 This rosary was received on Sunday, April the 13th, 1997 at an International Shepherds of Christ Associates Meeting at the Holy Spirit Center, Cincinnati, OH. The meditations and messages were given to Rita Ring during the rosary. This rosary was received live and transcribed from the recording.

Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection

1. Song: A Song from Jesus

2. R. Did you see Him come forth from the tomb adorned in the brightest light and splendor? Did you see Him? I saw Him. I saw Him before my eyes transfigured in the brightest light and I cried.  He is alive. He is risen. He is alive and He is treated like a dead object in many cases. But He cries out. From this tabernacle, He cried out and He said, “I long for the soul that comes to Me and gives Me their love.”

Song: He is risen, He is risen, He is risen

3. R. I had a vision. I had 3 great visions. The one was on March the 26th, 1996 and this account is written in the Apostles Manual. (Also Blue Book 10) The second was on Holy Saturday night and the whole wall was adorned in this light that I cannot describe for it was not a light. It was something supernatural or so it seemed. It kind of looked like a mirror and it looked like the water glistening on the river over at Tom’s farm, except it’s golden. But that’s nothing like what it is because to describe a supernatural thing is impossible it seems to me in human terms. But this was on Holy Saturday and there was a resurrected Jesus statue there and the whole light that went up to St. Joseph, the whole wall was adorned in this light, I don’t even know what to call it, because it’s brighter than any light. Jesus was transfigured, I saw this light, I can't even describe it. Envision Jesus as He comes forth from the tomb as I saw Him transfigured, as I saw this light on this night. Jesus the Light of the World. Do we know? Do we understand?  Do we comprehend? We have bits and pieces of things in our head about Jesus and it is all so clear to me. This is how it is. Adam and Eve sinned. The light had been dimmed because Adam and Eve sinned. They had this intense knowing of knowing God, all these gifts that God gave to them and it was dimmed from the sin. And Jesus comes and He is born the Light of the World. But we are still a people walking in darkness for we never comprehend or have this understanding that Adam and Eve had. And Jesus comes and He comes into the world and the light shines over the stable, for He is the Light. Jesus teaches us about God. We are children of the light. God gives us the Church. God gives us baptism – Jesus died and rose so we could share in His life. In baptism our knowing and loving capacity is elevated. We share in God's loving activity. WOW. Adam and Eve sin. The light is dimmed. They do not know God as they once did. Jesus comes the Light of the World, but the people do not comprehend.

          

           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

 

R. Jesus is the Light of the World. We are like people that are walking this earth with a shade down, a veil. We do not comprehend and we do not understand. We do not see Him in His magnificence and His light. We do not know many things. If we did we would all be on our faces right now, flat on the ground giving praise and worship to the Almighty God. Jesus is truly present and in this room in the Eucharist. But there is a shade down; it is as in a room. If the shade is down, there is darkness and the sunlight does not come through from the outside. But if the shade is lifted, the sunlight comes into the room. Jesus is the Light of the world. What we know is veiled. God can lift the veil. We can see more and more if God lets us. We do not need to be focused on so many foolish things. He is risen, the Light of the World, and He gives to us a sharing in His life.

Song: He is risen, He is risen, He is risen

4. Song: City of God

R. It is all there. The Mass is there. The Sacraments are there. God wants to fill us more and more with His life. This grace is outpoured on this earth. But we do not comprehend. Spread the consecration to the Sacred Heart and Immaculate Heart to priests. We need grace to be outpoured more and more on the world. Pray the prayers Jesus gave Fr. Carter. This is what the Shepherds of Christ Movement is all about. It is the Father’s plan from all eternity that the Shepherds of Christ Movement would be major in helping to spread the consecration to the priests, that priest's hearts would be consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, that a nation, that a Church, that a people that are walking in darkness will see the light and that grace would be outpoured. Spreading the Consecration will help us to have holy priests. It is now as if the shade is down and the sun is on the other side of the shade but I do not see it. Jesus is giving us immense light, the more we consecrate our hearts to Jesus and Mary. God wants our intimate love. We must reach the priests with the Priestly Newsletter that they will consecrate their hearts to Jesus and Mary, that their hearts will be turned to hearts of love, that they will know God with the greatest intimacy, for the Holy Spirit works within the heart of the Virgin Mary and gives great lights.

5. R. Jesus is alive. We are His faithful witnesses. Jesus is in this room, the Almighty God, the same Jesus that came forth from the tomb, truly present in the Eucharist. He will give to us this understanding into Him in this new era, the Reign of the Two Hearts, for we will be the children of light that will know God with such intensity.

6. R. And so how did the stone come away from the tomb? When Mary Magdalene got to the tomb, the stone had been rolled back. Jesus had risen. And where were the Apostles? Where were they a lot of the time? They were afraid. They touched Jesus. They talked to Jesus. He taught them. They ate with Jesus and they were afraid. Where were they when the stone was rolled back? Were they in a room? Were they afraid in that room? Were they talking about how they were going to be apprehended because they knew Him? They didn’t hear what Jesus said. Jesus kept telling them but they did not hear for they were deaf. They were in the room discussing how someone might get them - being afraid.

7. R. Isn’t this kind of like us today? Mary appeared over and over and over and over and over again as Our Lady of Light to me every day for 14 months and it was a gift from God. Mary appeared as Our Lady of Light for she was calling out to us to tell us that we must consecrate our hearts to her heart and when we do the Holy Spirit will fill us with His grace and we will know God more and more from the light that He will give to us. We are blind like the Apostles and you say, “How can they be so blind? They walked with Him. They touched Him. They talked to Him.” But they did not comprehend. Is this not how it is today? For we should believe. Some people have not  believe in Fatima. It has been approved by the Church. The Almighty God sent Mary to this earth as a great gift, the pure and Immaculate one, and she tells us what we have to do. We have to consecrate our hearts to her heart and the Heart of her Son. There is no other way. Because, in order to go into this era in which men will know God with this immense light, we have to go to the heart of Mary or the spiritual womb of Mary. Why don’t we listen to Mary at Fatima? Why don’t we spread the consecration? Because the devil has blocked the Fatima message for 80 years now. This, today, is a major part of the completion of the Fatima message and Jesus is the teacher. He is teaching us about what will bring about this great era in which men will know God, will love God, and the earth will be as the Father intended from the beginning - one happy family in one mind, in one heart, loving God and loving one another. Jesus is risen. Jesus is with us. Let us pray for the light that we will see, that we are not in the darkness, that we will be the leaders, that we will go out and spread the consecration as Mary said at Fatima, that we will help to spread it especially to the priests. For it is when the priests are celebrating the Mass with hearts consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we can be so united in holy love – one body in Him.

8. R. Somewhere in the Scriptures Jesus says that they pray to Me only with their lips. This will be the Age of the Two Hearts. We look at the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Jesus has His hands on both sides of His Heart. He’s showing us “this is My Heart. You must come to Me with your heart of love!” Not in our head! We must know things in our head. But we must be a people that are filled with heart-felt love for God in our hearts. How is our love for God? Is it in our mouth and in our head? Love is not in our head only. God wants hearts that are loving. That’s what Jesus shows us with His hands on each side of His Heart, that love is in the heart. We must lead the priests to the Priestly Newsletter for it is in the Priestly Newsletter that He will write the messages of His love on their hearts. We want the Word to live in us. Jesus is alive! Now many read the Word of God with no emotion, no feeling, no love! God gives Himself to us! He is love! We must have love for God. It isn’t conversation. It isn’t little prayers that we throw at Him. It is love that He wants. He is alive.

9. Song: Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, the Light of the World

10. R. Peter, James and John slept in the garden? Christ was in the Garden in such suffering and they slept. And He went to them and said, “Can you not spend one hour with Me?” And so we think back and we think, “How, how could these Apostles sleep when they saw Jesus, Jesus, the Almighty God, Who was always so full of peace? When they saw Jesus and He was asking them for this hour and they slept. Is this kind of like us? There are 24 hours in the day, but in our busy lives, as little ants, we are so busy with all of our work and our paper work and the Almighty God, Who gives us every breath and every heartbeat, Who controls everything, Who is truly present, we don’t have time for Him. But in a second He can stop us in our place. We are the apostles that He is calling this day, to go into the new era, to bring the light, to bring His love into this world, a love that will make their hearts burn, for now many hearts are so cold. That’s what He said to me. “You come to Me with such a cold heart.” And I think, “Oh, Jesus.” Jesus is God. Jesus is love. Jesus' Heart is a furnace, a burning furnace of love. We do not even know love. God is love! Jesus is truly present in the tabernacle and in the Eucharist. And if we want to know love, we must go to the source, for it is in going to the source that we will be satisfied and that we will share love with one another. How silly when God is love, but we leave Him out of the picture many times.           

          Let us sing this song to the Holy Spirit and let us beg Him to come.

          Song between decades: Come Holy Spirit

 

  The Ascension

1. R. How is it in this world today? You go out and you see all of the things that we do not like in the world. And we feel so uncomfortable for it just doesn’t devi-up with our hearts. And so then we go back to Jesus and it feels really, really good and then we go back out to the world and then the world is, for a large part, not like Jesus. And so we go back and forth between these two worlds, but we know the world that feels so good is the world that’s in our heart. We live in Him in the world.

2. R. When the world out there feels good, when the world feels good when I leave out Jesus, then we’re in big trouble because He is the source of life. He is the source of love. He is the Almighty God.

3. Jesus: And so My beloved ones, I have called you, for I am the teacher and I have called you here this day to teach you. But you must open up your heart and listen. For I am the Almighty God with a Divine mind and I am speaking to you and your minds are limited. They are human minds and you do not comprehend My ways; but I teach you and you turn away. My word I give to you, My word written from My Divine mind. My beloved ones, you must pray to the Holy Spirit that you will see, that you will comprehend, for My world is so different from your world. I see you there and I know you are struggling. But each person in this room I have called. I have called you to be My apostle to go out into the darkness and to spread My light. The Apostles slept in the garden. They did not comprehend. They did not believe. They were blind and they were deaf. But, the Church, this day, is built up from the work of the Apostles. You are My apostles that I am sending into the Church, into the school, to the families to help lead them to the love in My Sacred Heart. If you say “no” to Me, who will I send? Do you know that I have called you today? How is your mind? Is it half closed or half open? How is your heart? You just do not know. Is it safe to get into your heart for you may feel pain? Do you see My Heart surrounded with a crown of thorns? My beloved ones, the gifts I give to you are far greater than any suffering that you experience. If you close your heart, you will never be happy, for you were created to know My love. Open your heart now. Open your heart wide. Open your mind and listen as I speak to you, for I will teach you My ways and you will be My soldiers, My soldiers of light. How you respond will make the difference to so many souls. And there was a soul. Let us think about the soul, the soul that is on the edge of death at this moment. And what did they do with their life? Did they go to Church?  Did they think about God? Did they think about their money? Did they think about their children? Were they always looking for something more? What did they do? But at this moment, they are being called forever and ever and ever to go somewhere. There is a soul on the edge of death. Where will the soul go? It depends on how they lived their life.

4. Jesus: And so I tell you, My sweet one, I tell you how much I love you. Do you hear Me? Do you crave love in your heart but you are not satisfied? You must come to Me for you were created with the desire to know, love and serve God. The Father has a plan for you from the day you were born. You were created to know My Divine love and nothing here will fill that craving in your soul. Was it your money? Was it your car? Was it your business? What was your god? There is a soul on the edge of death. What was his god and where will he go?

5. R. Jesus took the Apostles out to a town near Bethany and He raised His arms and He ascended into heaven. And they were awestruck as they looked from the field below and they were filled with fear. And they locked themselves in a room.

6. R. Do we see the world? Do we turn on the television and see how it is? Do we realize that we are the apostles that He has called to carry out the Good News? We know what it is like on the television. Does it make sense that God after He gave Himself and died on the cross that He would not send messages this day in order to change men’s hearts?

7. R. And Mary speaks in the message in the Mary Message tape and she says, “I appear, I appear, I appear, I appear, I appear and I am ignored.” She appeared, and she appeared, and she appeared so many times since Fatima to tell the children that they must go to her heart, that in order to see the light that we must go to the heart of Mary. It is like this: Adam and Eve sinned; the new Adam and the new Eve, are Jesus and Mary. Jesus comes into the world in the womb of the Virgin Mary and Mary brings forth the Light of the World. He is the first born from the dead. We are the children of Eve. The sin has been passed down. We are tainted in our human natures. In order to be close to God, He gives us the one pure, Immaculate one, the new Eve. We must go to Mary's Immaculate Heart, her spiritual womb, and be brought forth a child of light. The light was dimmed for Adam and Eve. Christ showed us the way. He came in the womb of Mary and was brought forth the Light of the World. If we want to know God, we must go to the heart of Mary and be brought forth a child of light.

8. R. It was on Ascension Thursday, 1995, and Our Lord called out, “I am alive.  I am alive. I am alive.” And I was in immense suffering, buckled over as if someone was sticking swords inside me and hearing His voice. This is what He calls out to us today, “I am alive. I am alive. I am alive and I am treated in many cases like a dead object.” We are His apostles that will carry the light into the darkness and they will know that He is alive in these messages. You read the Blue Book messages and you hear Him speak in those letters, “My dear one, I love you so much. I am with you. Do you not know I stand by your bed at night? I am guarding you. I am in your every breath. I am with you.” And so from reading His letters of love, the mighty medicine that He sends to this earth, He tells us that He is alive. And from reading the messages, the Scriptures are alive in our hearts.

9. R. And the Apostles slept and then they locked themselves in the upper room.

10. Hail Mary 

Song between decades: A Song from Jesus

 

The Descent of the Holy Spirit

1. R. And there was a gigantic wind and there appeared over their heads parted tongues of fire. The Apostles were in the upper room with the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit came upon them and they were filled with the fire of God’s love. And they went out into this world to preach the good news.

2. R. And so Mary says, “The time is nigh for I appeared and I appeared and I appeared and they ignored me.” Mary appeared at Fatima and she told them 80 years ago that they must give their heart to her. And they did not listen and He gave them great proof. The sun almost came crashing to the earth (or so it seemed) and they still did not listen. And there was World War II. And she appeared and she appeared and she appeared and we do not listen. But she did say at Fatima that there will be this great era in which the Sacred Heart of Jesus will Reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph. So we know that we’re going to go from wherever we are, at this present moment, into this era when everybody is going to live in the Father’s will, when everyone is going to be loving and good. So we have to go from where we are to this place in which the Sacred Heart of Jesus will Reign. He sends the gifts to tell us what to do. He sends the warnings. He tells us. Mary told us at Fatima what we had to do. She told us if we didn’t do it we would suffer the war. We ignored her. Eighty years later Jesus sends these messages to tell us what we must do. Mary appeared and appeared and appeared to so many visionaries at Medjugorje for 10 years and then look at the town around there. Mary appeared. She appeared here. She appeared at Cold Springs. She appeared at Falmouth. She appeared to me every day and I spoke and I spoke and I spoke and their response to me was, “Are you going to keep listening to Mary when everybody else is ignoring you?”

3. R. It is like the apostles. They slept. Peter denied Christ. He went away. He was in his human mind thinking about the things of the earth. He was not thinking of the things as coming from God, even though he walked with God and Jesus was his teacher. We get too caught up in our human mind and we do not look at things from God’s perspective. This is the truth that this is God’s world, that the Father is with us at this very second, that the Holy Spirit is here, that Jesus is in the tabernacle, truly present, no less present than the day that He walked on the earth, that the Father has the plan, God is the I AM, without a beginning, without an end. God is Supreme, Almighty. We see where we are in our little seat, looking at our little rosary, thinking about what we are going to have for dinner and we are rooted in this moment in time. But He is telling us that we must see beyond, that we must listen to the warnings that He is giving to us, that no longer can He be ignored, and He is calling each one of us. He has brought us to a great level in holiness. Each one of you here are people that are very close to Him and He is forming our hearts to be the apostle of light to go into the darkness.

4. R. The same Peter that denied Jesus was made head of the Church. These apostles were people like us, people that were kind of a motley crew, coming together. But the Holy Spirit descended upon them and they were filled with fearlessness because they were in one mind and one heart with the Almighty God. They were thinking in their human minds in the room after Jesus ascended into heaven. They had locked themselves in the upper room. Then Holy Spirit descended upon them and the Blessed Mother and they were fearless. And so I would like to read to you from one of the readings of last week. 

        Reference: Acts 5: 17-26

R. And the apostles they were locked up but they got out of prison singing. These were the same men that were afraid, the same men that slept, the same men that ran and hid and locked themselves in the room. But when the Holy Spirit came upon them, they were the Apostles that would do all the work that the Father intended them to do, to help them in the work of building up the Church.

5. R. How is your shade? Is it down or is it up? For He gives to us His light. We go to Mary's Immaculate Heart. We must spend this time alone with Jesus every day or we get caught up in this world and we keep our focus on the world. When the world feels good, then there’s something wrong with our spirituality, for our hearts were made for God and for Him alone, for His love. We need to spread the Consecration to the Two Hearts as Mary said at Fatima. We need to heed Fr. Carter's message July 31, 1994.

July 31, 1994

Words of Jesus to Members of Shepherds of Christ Associates:

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

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

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

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

  

6. R. And on Thursday it said

        Reference: Acts 5: 27-33

7. R. And so they hung our beloved Savior on a tree, but the stone was rolled back and our Lord rose victorious on the third day. These men were locked in prison and an angel left them out. We are too bolted to the earth. Our minds are too focused on so many incidental things and we lose sight of the Almighty God. I beg you to read the messages in the Apostles Manual for it makes me shudder. I started receiving these messages in 1991 but Mary started to appear in 1994. The intensity was so high already in March of 1994 that God was displeased because they had ignored the messages. I am the messenger, but I cannot sleep at night if I do not deliver the message, for my peace is in doing what He is asking me to do.

8. Hail Mary

9. R. Who is our God? Is it man or is it God? Look at this earth. He is calling you as the apostles. How can we ignore our Heavenly Mother 80 years later? Doesn’t it send a shudder inside of you to think that the Father sends the Blessed Mother here, tells us what we must do, that there was World War II - where over 60,000,000 were killed — A World At War — such destruction and devastation - that He has the sun almost come crashing down on the people at Fatima or so it looked and they do not listen and they don’t think that 80 years later that He is warning us at Clearwater.

10. R. And so they said to me, “Are you going to keep listening to Mary when we’re ignoring you?” 

Message before the Glory Be:

R. When God speaks, the words that I hear are nothing compared to the penetration in my being. The way that He gives me the message is so intense. The words are little things that come out on the paper and out of my mouth. But inside to hear the Father speak as He spoke in those 2 messages, January 11, 1997 and January 18, 1997, and to know God is warning us, was far greater than anything on that paper. You must look at the messages given with an open heart and an open mind as coming from God and as responding to help me spread these prayer chapters and messages in God's Blue Book for the sake of souls, to help to spread the love of God. We must do as God is saying. Why are we not doing what Mary said at Fatima? 

Song between decades: Our Lady of Fatima

R. What is so interesting is that Mary appeared all that time as Our Lady of Light to lead us to her heart, the spiritual womb, and on March the 20th, 1997 she appeared as Our Lady of Fatima.

  

The Assumption

1. Hail Mary

2. R. And so Mary speaks on December the 19th, 1996, 2 days after she appeared - on the building in Florida she said: 

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 excerpt
 

R. And then I got a very strong message from Jesus and from Mary and she spoke in this message (December 19, 1996) and she said, "Oh, my children, my little children of light, the time is nigh and many will be lost forever. I appeared and warned and told all to mind their ways and come to the Heart of my Son and they said "No, my Lady, not for you or any mother. We are children of darkness and that we remain, for we seek our pleasure by day and feast on sin all night and when you called, mother, we laughed at your Son and ignored Him and His ways." And He called and His call fell on deaf ears.

Please, my children of light, come to my heart now for although you walked next to the children of darkness. I smite the dragon that whirled around you and protected you in my heart and you will now feast on the glories of His Kingdom, my little children of light."

 

        3. R. On December 17, 1996 Mary appeared in Clearwater and this book (Red Rosary Book) left the printer.

December 17, 1996

Mary appeared
December 17, 1996

R. And the messages that He gave on the 19th and the 22nd of December 1996, both referred to the moon turning to blood. For this is what will happen. We are a people walking in darkness and He is allowing us to go further and further and further down into this darkness. And then the time will come and there will be whatever it takes in order to turn us into children of light. And in this new era we will see with the light of 7 suns that will blind us and we will fall to the earth for we will know God and we will be so happy in our hearts. For now, we are walking in darkness. We do not know God as we should.  If we did, we would all be down on our face in this very room. For Jesus, Lord Jesus is in this room, truly present in the Eucharist. Jesus calls out, “Please I came, I came. I want to be loved.” And we treat Him many times as a dead object.

4. R. And this is what Jesus said in the first strong message (December 19, 1996) that I received in the Apostles Manual pp. 204-205 (also Blue Book 13 pp. 275-276)

"You will know a great time of trial and darkness. I have written to you of the great sufferings to come. The sinfulness of this world greatly displeases Me. I beg you to pray for forgiveness and turn your hearts to love.

And darkness covered the earth and the light was cast in little corners of the earth. Those who were willful remained in intense darkness, those who were rooted in God, and giving themselves to consecration, were the children of the light.

And the light shown in the darkness and the darkness grasped it not, but to as many as responded, they became the children of the light and from them His life flowed into the hearts that were cold and dark and slowly, very slowly, the light began to steal across the darkened sky and the moon was covered with blood. The blood was the blood of the Lamb. The blood represented the blood He shed to give us life. But the blind just saw ordinary blood and were scared to death. They responded with the greatest fright and lacked peace, but those rooted in God, those whose hearts were consecrated to Mary and Jesus, knew the sign was from God–that the time of reckoning was at hand. Many were punished and suffered a great chastisement. Many were left to death, but the children of light prayed the rosary and trusted in God.

And the night was no more for the light of day came stealing across the sky and myriads of angels filled the sky and the heavens. Sing Alleluia, Praise the Lord, you saints and angels, show yourselves to the survivors for they walked in darkness and could not see, but the light was alive in their hearts and they dwelt within the furnace of His Heart.

Have no fear now, My people, for you are the children of the light and My hand is forever upon you. You may suffer now a little, but it is nothing compared to the splendor to come."

5. Jesus: And so the plan of the Father is unfolding in your life, My beloved ones. Do you see, do you see the windows in this chapel? From the Annunciation to the Assumption how the plan of the Father unfolded in the life of My Mother. You have been called and you have been chosen My apostles and My plan is unfolding in your life. You must not turn away for there will be that day when you will be taken into heaven, if you love and serve Me! My beloved ones, I will wrap you in My Divine embrace and you will know joy beyond all joys, love beyond all love, light beyond all lights. You will know and love the Almighty God. You were created for this, but you must withstand this trial. You must be a child of light. You must obey the Father and obey your Mother. You must live according to the commandments and you must carry the Good News out to those that are suffering and in pain.

6. R. In the Father’s messages there is so much reference to obedience. For the tone of the way the Father talks is different than the tone of how Jesus talks and different than how Mary talks. "...Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven."

7. R. And so the Lady of Light appeared. She appeared in the most brilliant light on March the 20th of this year and she would keep going into Our Lady of Fatima. I know that when Our Lady said on December the 19th, 1996 that “the time is nigh” that it was important that we follow what she is saying.

Mary: Oh, my children, my little children of light, the time is nigh and many will be lost forever. I appeared and warned and told all to mind their ways and come to the Heart of my Son and they said "No, my Lady, not for you or any mother. We are children of darkness and that we remain, for we seek our pleasure by day and feast on sin all night and when you called, mother, we laughed at your Son and ignored Him and His ways." And He called and His call fell on deaf ears.

Please, my children of light, come to my heart now for although you walked next to the children of darkness. I smite the dragon that whirled around you and protected you in my heart and you will now feast on the glories of His Kingdom, my little children of light.

8. R. Mary spoke, she appeared and no one listened, or few listened, or some listened, whatever it is. The response was not there according to what heaven expected when they gave such a great gift, the apparitions of the Blessed Mother. Jesus has given to us all these letters and they have been blocked tremendously. Over and over again this whole story is a story of how the messages have been blocked when Jesus wanted them out. The Father gave me a message in January, 1997 after Mary appeared at Clearwater and He said, “You disobey Mary. You disobey Jesus. Now are you going to disobey Me?”

9. Hail Mary

10. Revelation 12:1-2

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. She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.

 

Message before the Glory Be:

R. Mary Immaculate; Mary, the pure one; Mary, the model that God gave to us; the New Eve; the Mother of Jesus and of us. And it is through Mary’s heart that we are taken into the deepest intimacy with God. She appeared Our Lady of Light for 14 months to give this message:  we must go to her heart so that we are brought forth children of light. Mary and Jesus' messages are in this book.

Song between decades: Immaculate Mary

 

The Coronation

1. R. The Father gives to us this message. (Apostles Manual p. 48 and Blue Book 14 pp. 72-73)    January 18, 1997

"I am the Father. My plan is unfolding through you, My beloved priest, Fr. Carter, and Rita and the core group in the Shepherds of Christ Movement.

I tell you all to read the accounts concerning Noah. Nowhere in history has God been offended as He is this day by this sinful world. You will suffer a fate for the offenses against God.

Mary appeared at Fatima to warn you, the sinful children, how they were offending God, but you did not listen. The war did not change the hearts of many evil men.

I warn you through My beloved daughter, Mary. You did not heed her warnings. Disobedience against the Mother I gave you displeases Me greatly. Mary is the Mother of all children. Mary is a gift from Me, but you are willful and abuse the gift I send you.

You do not make reparation to her Immaculate Heart; you continue to offend her. I will not tolerate the deeds of evil men any longer."

2. R. Mary is a great gift that God gave to us. Jesus, tells us from the cross, He tells us that this is our Mother. But Mary appeared at Fatima and all these other times when God sends great gifts to the earth, when He gives warnings, they are to be heeded. We are disobedient children. We do not pay attention to what our Mother has told us at Fatima. Do we think that the Father is going to go away? When He sends the Queen of Heaven and Earth to the earth and gives us these great gifts to warn us, to tell us what we must do and we disobey her, do we think that He would be pleased?

3. R. Think of two Kingdoms. One in which Christ is the head and one which is headed by Lucifer. Lucifer wants souls for him and Jesus wants souls for Him. There is a spiritual battle that is going on all the time. We do not see so we do not think about this battle. But this is what is happening here over and over and over again, since I received these messages from Mary, from Jesus and from the Father, they are blocked over and over and over again. But it is a spiritual battle. There is a kingdom and Lucifer is the head of one and God, the other. And Lucifer wants all the souls he can get and take them to hell with him. We don’t see these things going on but we know what we experience in our own life, the trouble that we have especially since we have joined Shepherds of Christ. We are taunted by satan for he wants us stopped. The only way you can do what Mary is calling us to do is to spend that hour with Jesus every day because the devil makes confusion and all kinds of distractions in our life to lead us away from what He is telling us to do. And it’s in that hour that we keep our focus on Him.

4. R. It is a spiritual battle that we experience that is trying to stop us over and over and over again. Since the end of December I have been told about how the 13th would be major and how satan would majorly try to stop it. But this is the thing that I want to say: we do not see the devil at work. Satan is devious. He causes confusion, division, and anger. We must go to God for it is a spiritual battle. It has been the evil one that has blocked the Fatima mission for 80 years, working hard. But it is in our prayers that it will make the difference. Mary is the Queen of Peace — we can't ignore her.

5. Jesus: And there will be a new earth, My sweet and beloved ones. There will be a time of great intimacy and love as never before as never before on this earth. You are My leaders that I am sending into this world. You will be taunted. You will be pressed on. You will fight this spiritual battle. But you must pray. Your weapons are the rosary and your prayers. Your weapons are the sacraments. Your weapons are your prayers I give you in the Prayer Manual. Give Me yourself. Give Me your heart. I am Jesus. I am longing for you to come to Me this very day for as I speak there are many who are holding back. There will be no one standing in line behind you. You are the leader. You will lead. I have called special people to this room this day. I knew that you would respond. I gave you the grace to come here and I am giving you the grace at this moment to give your heart to Me. But many are holding back. There is a soul at the edge of death at this moment. You will help the souls go to heaven.

6. R. You may say: I did not know that my daughter would have an accident. I did not know that at that moment her soul would be on the edge of death.  It was the prayers, the prayers that had turned her life around, the fact that she had joined the Shepherds of Christ and consecrated her heart, her heart to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. It was the prayers for the young ones, the ones that changed their hearts to hearts of love through the consecration when the prayer cards were circulated in the schools and they were being taught so many vile things. It was the consecration cards that helped the child to turn their heart to Jesus and Mary, and Jesus and Mary turned that heart to a heart of love. So you feel battered, you feel worn out. You think that no one is listening. But it is one school that you get the consecration to that can change 500 children’s hearts forever. For once they give their heart to Mary and Jesus, Mary and Jesus take it over. There are so many souls that are going to hell. For the last 9 of the 14 months that the Queen of Heaven and Earth appeared to me, she cried out for her little lost children, especially the young ones that were being lost. And she says, “I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried. I cried for my little children.”

7. Hail Mary
8. Hail Mary

9. R. And so this is a message from Our Lady of Light, from the Queen of Heaven and Earth. Jesus told me to read this to you. 

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."

R. And we ignore these messages and ignore them.  And we analyze the words and we worry but the message does not get out because satan is blocking the message.  As long as he continues to block the messages of Our Lady, of our precious Jesus and the Father, we will continue to suffer.  For the messages are given as teachings to draw us closer to Him.  The messages are given as warnings for this earth.  The world willfully does what it wants in many cases. The Father has warned us. And the focus is on me many times because I deliver the message.  It is with great pain and suffering, many times, that I deliver the message for it is more than what is on the paper. The intensity is in my being as He gives the message to me and my only peace is in doing as He asked.  It doesn’t matter that they said to me, “But why are you listening to Mary when we are ignoring you?” “It doesn’t matter to me what people say. God is talking. All I want to do is deliver the message.” And it is a very difficult job many times for the focus is, many times, on everything but the message because satan blocks the message.  He does not want the message out.

10. Hail Mary

R. Mary is the Queen of Heaven and Earth and she speaks over and over again. And the Father gives to us the great gifts when He sends His Mother and Jesus opens up His Heart raw and reveals the most intimate secrets of His Heart. And the Father speaks,

“You have ignored My Mother and you Have ignored My Son. But will you ignore Me? If I send to you great gifts and you do not pay any heed, what do I do but to send you sufferings? For you must take notice. You are offending God. And the Reign of the Sacred Heart will come about disregarding all the willfulness of everyone involved for God is in charge.” 

Let us lift our minds and our hearts up to Him. Let us let go of those things that are keeping us bolted to the ground. Let us spend that hour of intimacy with Him every day, that in that hour He can sift out the negative and the positive messages in our minds, that we will know what God is telling us to do, for He is speaking in our hearts.

                (10) Mark 14: 32-44

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

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

                The Scourging at the Pillar

                Sing: Oh Lord hear our prayer

                R. Say Our Father

                (1) Jesus was tied to the pillar –
                    Think of men enslaved to bad
                        habits in their lives –
                    Like enslaved to bad habits,
                        of anger, pride, jealousy,
                        envy, slothfulness, lust,
                        greed, gluttony –

                (2) R. Oh God, please break the chains
                    in our lives that keep us
                    from doing Your will –
                    and these chains are the chains
                    of our own will opposed to You –

                (3) R. Oh God we are so sorry for
                    our sins –
                    we ask to be forgiven and
                    we pray for the human race
                    that has offended You with
                    their sins –
                    Oh God - help us please –

                (4) R. See Jesus now at the pillar –
                    See Jesus tied
                    See the men beating Him and
                        laughing –
                    See the men tearing His flesh
                        and laughing –
                    Hurting Jesus' body –

                (5) R. Think of how we offend
                    Jesus with our sins –

                Oh God - we are so sorry –
                    we are sorry for our
                    sins and the sins of the human race –

                (6) R. Oh God, we are sorry for how we
                    made You suffer –
                    Oh God - we are sorry and we
                    want to help make reparation
                    for our sins and the sins
                    of the world –

                (7) R. Oh God, we pray for healing for
                    ourselves –
                    healing in body, mind and
                    soul – for all of us –
                    Oh God, outpour Your
                    grace of healing to us – to the Church
                    and to the whole world –

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

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

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

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

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

                Oh God, help us and hear our prayers,
                    please God –

                The Crowning with Thorns

                (1) Matthew 27: 27-31

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

                (3) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary

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

                (4) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary continues

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

                (5) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary continues

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

                (10) 2 Corinthians 5: 17-21

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

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

 

The Crucifixion 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(2) Sing: China Song

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

Exodus 12: 21-27

Injunctions relating to the Passover

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


(4) Exodus 24: 3-8

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


(5) Hebrews 9: 11-15

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

Christ seals the new covenant with his blood

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


(6) A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

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

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

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

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

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

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

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995

(7) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Opening Prayer

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

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

(8) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Prayer for Holy Spirit

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

(9) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Protection by the Blood of Jesus

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

(10) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Healing

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