                May 10, 2015 - Mother's Day

                R. Eve wanted to be independent of God.

   

 Jeremiah 52: 7-11

a breach was made in the city wall. The king and all the fighting men then fled, leaving the city under cover of dark, by way of the gate between the two walls, which is near the king's garden -- the Chaldaeans had surrounded the city -- and made his way towards the Arabah. The Chaldaean troops pursued the king and caught up with Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, where all his troops deserted. But the Chaldaeans captured the king and took him to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the territory of Hamath, where he passed sentence on him. He had Zedekiah's sons slaughtered before his eyes; he also had all the chief men of Judah put to death at Riblah. He then put out Zedekiah's eyes and, loading him with chains, the king of Babylon carried him off to Babylon where he kept him prisoner until his dying day.

    

Genesis 37: 18-25

   They saw him in the distance, and before he reached them they made a plot to kill him. ‘Here comes that dreamer,’ they said to one another. ‘Come on, let us kill him now and throw him down one of the storage–wells; we can say that some wild animal has devoured him. Then we shall see what becomes of his dreams.’

   But Reuben heard, and he saved him from their clutches. ‘We must not take his life,’ he said. ‘Shed no blood,’ said Reuben to them, ‘throw him down that well out in the desert, but do not kill him yourselves’—intending to save him from them and to restore him to his father. So, when Joseph reached his brothers, they pulled off his tunic, the decorated tunic which he was wearing, and catching hold of him, threw him into the well. The well was empty, with no water in it. They then sat down to eat.

   

                Jesus: I came into the world to bring My love
                    to men and they planned to kill Me.
                    I had enemies that wanted to kill Me
                    and I am the Son of God. The men who
                    killed the Jews in World War II were hard
                    in heart, hard and heartless, but they
                    continued killing the Jews and told themselves
                    they were okay doing this slaughter.
                    So far Rita has come to China on the 13th
                    for over 17 years. Fr. Carter supported her
                    and all these messages. Fr. Carter is the
                    founder, Rita the co-founder of the
                    Shepherds of Christ.

                    Magnificence is there when simple
                men make things great in the eyes of God.
                A man who challenges God and mistreats men
                who he is to work with to build God's
                Kingdom is a fool. A man who challenges
                God and deceives other men by their
                actions – never fools God. Satan is a
                liar – Satan wants to be on top. Satan
                lies, Satan opposes God, Satan is
                hate, Satan is division.

                    A man of magnificence, is a man
                of heartfelt love – who gives as I
                gave on the cross – who gives to
                men and loves all men –
                A man whose heart is open and who
                is hurt in love but keeps on giving –
                I gave and gave and gave and My Heart
                was wounded by those who blocked
                My Plan for the coming of My Kingdom
                of Love –

                    I am love and he who does not love
                his brothers, but claims he loves
                God is a liar.

                A man of love has compassion in his heart
                and is aware of how he has wronged
                relationships with others that I have
                intended for the building of My Kingdom.
                A man can be called to unite and give
                love to those in a community and to be
                so attractive in his heart of love –
                that warmth is felt by all who come
                to pray and to be there for unity and
                love in God. Magnificence is found in
                bringing together hearts in love for
                the building of My Kingdom. Love is a
                theological virtue – love makes great
                things happen. Love is not easy – it
                comes from a man who is willing to
                take chances giving himself in love –
                love focuses on the other. The man who
                sees in love – sees vision through the
                eyes of God's will –

                    His focus is not closing down,
                hurting others, being jealous, envious of what
                others have what he doesn't and
                wanting to bring them down – love gives
                and keeps on giving – love seeks unity
                and building up of God's Kingdom –
                Love is joy – love is not being closed
                in – in pride seeking one's self glory
                and looking at others as enemies
                because they don't think much of
                themselves and want to bring others
                down.

                    Love is building lasting relationships
                for heaven – Love never is shut down
                in living in independence to God's rule
                of love –

                The greatest commandment –

Matthew 22: 36-40

'Master, which is the greatest commandment of the Law?' Jesus said to him, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second resembles it: You must love your neighbour as yourself. On these two commandments hang the whole Law, and the Prophets too.'

 

                Jesus: Love gives – love is not afraid to give –
                love is always focused on God's Plan –
                love sees himself as a person created
                by God, with a God-given plan and
                love knows that magnificence –

                    A person in love with God and others
                doesn't save themselves with a heart
                wounded and ready to punish others
                as enemies because they are more concerned
                like Eve – to be equal to God.
                A person of love is not into measuring
                their greatness by the eyes of men and
                they are not envious, jealous, prideful,
                angry and locked up with baggage
                so they can't even walk in a
                straight line, their heart is closed,
                their fellow men God sends to work
                together with them in the building
                of the Kingdom – they see as enemies
                to conquer, to challenge, to stamp out.

                Meanness is a vice.

                A man of magnificence is in God.
                He sees God as the goal. He wants
                God's heart in him operating in him.
                I gave this song as a prayer 21 years ago.
                Give me your heart, oh Jesus –

 

 

                Jesus: A person who is mean has this vice
                opposite of magnificence and love.
                They are so shut down in darkness
                their daily life is a habit of being mean
                to others and not loving at all.
                The mean man short changes everyone,
                they are unjust in their dealings with
                everyone, deception is underlying this
                lack of giving what is due.

                    You can live a virtuous life and
                control yourself. A man of anger,
                is never satisfied – he tells himself
                he is justified to hurt innocent others
                and he uses tricks to maintain his control
                over them – like hostages – he wants
                power for power sake, he sees his
                fellow men to use for his anger
                inside and he justifies his anger
                and why the other should live under
                his darkness and be controlled –
                abused by him.

                    Do you know men who are so blessed
                by Me and they never say thanks, they
                never help bring the love I give them
                to anyone, but hold out in anger and
                meanness to make things fail and desire
                this failure for other men because of
                their meanness and anger inside.

                    Happiness comes to man and to
                society in self-control. A man who
                lives his life trying to control others
                for his own darkness, but learns
                no control of his own desire to punish
                and bring others down – will never
                be happy with such an attitude.
                Happiness will not come to the man who
                wants no correction, who does not see
                himself responsible and accountable
                for mean actions and his heart of anger.
                Anger, jealousy, envy, pride are
                deadly sins because they deaden
                a man's heart and are bad habits –
                Gluttony, lust, slothfulness show
                the man is unbridled in self-control
                and if he desires to punish or be
                mean – he seeks to do so to fill
                this unbridled bad habit, deadly sin.
                It is a habit because a man brings
                the prideful way of life as his life –
                always seeking to be above others
                and putting, even God (he thinks)
                under him.

                Control and not self-control is paramount
                for such a man.

                Man's desires must be regulated
                    by right reason.

                Satan comes and tempts a person with
                a dark desire to punish another because
                of their own anger filling them from
                the past. So the person like a fuse
                can let go on another because they
                want relief from their own darkness.
                It is a sad thing when a man lives
                a life of independence and saving
                their space so nobody ever gets close.
                God intends men to grow in the
                image and likeness of God. I am love –
                So if a man refuses to grow in love
                he is disobeying the Greatest Commandment.
                Reason becomes very distorted when a
                man begins to abuse others, punish
                others, retaliate against others
                and resists all correction, accountability,
                responsibility for their actions.
                They are acting NOT GODLY, but
                in evil ways that hurt other men,
                offend Me and they are out of control –

                They pride themselves and live to control
                    others around them with some
                    force they use,
                    they use abuse and believe others
                    deserve their treatment –
                    And they keep controlling and controlling
                        through force to try to mold
                        the world around them to
                        their unloving, angry, dark
                        and hateful ways.
                        They are out of control!

                Happiness is grown in the soul that lives
                    by the 10 Commandments I gave.
                    Justice and love to others –
                    Self-discipline –
                    Compassion –
                    Seeking to obey authority as a
                        guide – knowing I give
                        power through My authority
                        to men –

                The man who is out of control and mean
                    is serving a false power –
                    is serving satan –
                    is using satan for their independence,
                        but in fact –
                        they have become slaves in giving
                        satan their hearts to hurt and
                        punish others –

                There is a virtue of temperance –
                    With right reason and this virtue
                        a man's desires are under
                        the control he gives to God.

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.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

      

                Jesus: Man is not an animal –
                Man must control himself –
                Man is not an island.
                Man is a rational being –
                Man cannot operate on his desires
                    he must live by right reason –

                Man has been given so many gifts
                    when baptized – his knowing
                    and loving capacity is elevated –

                It is a capacity he must seek to develop –
                He shares in My knowing activity –

                In heaven knowing and loving will
                    reach a fullness in the
                    beatific vision –

                This is the goal of the man rooted in
                    God – to reach greater perfection
                    in loving and knowing God –
                    to one day have the beatific vision –
                    to be possessed by God.

                A man was given a beautiful garden
                    by God and on the way to his
                    garden – snakes attacked
                    the man and threw him in the
                    bottom of a pit with more
                    snakes.

                Now you were following and had the
                    choice to fall into the pit
                    of snakes or go to the beautiful
                    garden.

                Where would you go?

                Where will you go when your life is
                    ended for how you loved?

                On that day – I will show you
                    your life – so you will see
                    how you love and served the Lord or
                    how you chose to hurt and
                    punish in unloving ways the
                    brothers and sisters I commanded
                    you to love.

                How is your goal is it directed to
                    God's goal of love and happiness?
                    I am love – when you do not
                    love and punish your brothers
                    you are not preparing yourself
                    for any beautiful garden –

                The story of who is afraid of the big
                    bad wolf is a child's story,
                    but in studying Genesis 3
                    you see how Eve wanted to
                    be equal to God and disobeyed God
                    and she hurt the whole human race.

                Sin is communal –

                    The person giving bad example and
                    forcing others to put up with
                    their out of control attitude
                    and being a leader in religious
                    life will be judged on what
                    they freely do that is evil before
                    others when they wear crucifixes,
                    habits, etc –

                I have given you these days in life
                    to love and serve Me and to love
                    others as yourself.
                    You can hate and never learn
                        anything about love, but
                        the reaper can come and
                        snatch the man holding
                        others angrily at bay –

                Don't fool yourselves – the very hairs
                    of your head are counted – Man
                    does not hide from Me –
                    like Eve in the garden –

                Adam and Eve ate of the fruit and hid –
                    how senseless –
                    I know all things –
                    I know the ways of your hearts –

                Man is above the beast of the earth –
                Man has a free will to love and serve God,
                    to love other men
                    or he can be mean, unloving,
                    manipulative, angry, jealous,
                    prideful, envious, lustful,
                    slothful, gluttonness –

                Out of Control!

                You can have friendship with God –
                You can love and serve God –
                You can love and serve others
                You have a free will –
                    to serve God or
                    to sin against Him –

                Man can desire evil – it can
                    be a bad habit to see
                    your brothers through the eyes of jealousy
                    and envy, and anger –
                    to seek dominance over all authority
                        and try to force others to live
                        your ways of

                    DISORDER

                    seeking dominance over just authority

                        is DISORDER and

                    satan is your god!

                I work in order –

                I am God –

 

Romans 8: 5-9

Those who are living by their natural inclinations have their minds on the things human nature desires; those who live in the Spirit have their minds on spiritual things. And human nature has nothing to look forward to but death, while the Spirit looks forward to life and peace, because the outlook of disordered human nature is opposed to God, since it does not submit to God's Law, and indeed it cannot, and those who live by their natural inclinations can never be pleasing to God. You, however, live not by your natural inclinations, but by the Spirit, since the Spirit of God has made a home in you. Indeed, anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

    

                Jesus: A man craving food and sex,
                    if he keeps giving in sinfully,
                     is out of control he does not have
                    the virtues of temperance and
                    he brings that into every
                    desire in his life –

                This craving for food and sex, for
                    example, brings him to
                    put that before loving Me and others.

                Likewise a man who does not eat
                    properly is not obeying
                    the will of God –
                    He gratifies his own desires
                        for whatever reason,
                        beauty etc. –

                Pleasures of the body –

                Pleasures become the god –

                Abusers become more and more
                    dull as they need that fix
                    to feel and they justify why
                    they can be unloving and
                    out of control with job,
                    responsibility and can say –
                    "oh too bad"

                OUT OF CONTROL

                I give you the means to use sense
                    desires appropriately and in
                    right reason.

                To be honest, truthful is to be
                    more and more in My image and likeness.

                I am the way, the truth and the life –

                It is a feather in satan's cap when
                    a person pledges virginity in their
                    vocation and then is hateful to all
                    around them –

                The religious orders have followed
                    the vows
                    of poverty
                        chastity
                    and obedience –

                The man who is prideful is not
                    obedient to God, to just authority,
                    his focus is to be on top
                    and to put everything under
                    his feet.

 

Priestly Newsletter Book II - September/October 1997

Scriptural Reflections

In all this Mary offers an example. Selfishness was totally foreign to her. She did not belong to herself. She belonged to God. She was not closed in upon herself. She was completely open to God. When God spoke, she listened. When God pointed the way, she followed. She realized that life is not a process a person masters by carefully mapping out one's own self-conceived plans of conquest, but a mystery to be gradually experienced by being open to God's personal and loving guidance.

Selfishness, then, did not close Mary off from God's call. Neither did fear. God asked her to assume a tremendous responsibility. He asked her to be the Mother of Jesus. Mary did not engage in a process of false humility and say that such a great role was above her. She did not say that she did not have the proper qualifications for this awesome mission. Briefly, she did not waste time looking at herself, making pleas that she was not worthy, telling the angel he had better go look for someone else. No, Mary did not look at herself. Her gaze was absorbed in God. She fully realized that whatever God asked of her, His grace would accomplish. She fully realized that although she herself had to cooperate, this work was much more God's than hers.

Mary's words, then, truly sum up what is the authentic Christian response at any point of life, in any kind of situation: "I am the handmaid of the Lord," said Mary, "let what you have said be done to me".

  

 

                R. Mary appeared May 5th.

                Jesus appeared May 5th.

                They said many souls were going
                    to hell that day.

                  

            From Fatima Peace Plan — Tan Books p.4-5. 

July 13, 1917

THE CHILDREN SEE HELL

    "During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great public miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary."

    As she spoke these words, Our Lady stretched out her hands, and bright rays came forth which seemed to penetrate into the earth. All at once the ground vanished, and the children found themselves standing on the brink of a sea of fire. As they peered into this dreadful place, the terrified youngsters saw huge numbers of devils and damned souls. The devils resembled hideous black animals, each filling the air with despairing shrieks. The damned souls were in their human bodies and seemed to be brown in color, tumbling about constantly in the flames and screaming with terror. All were on fire within and without their bodies, and neither devils nor damned souls seemed able to control their movements. They were tossing about in the flames like fiery coals in a furnace. There was never an instant's peace or freedom from pain.

    Looking with compassion at the pale and trembling little ones, the vision spoke to them: "You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace."

                    The Prayer of the Angel at Fatima

"My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You."

"Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications."

We cannot get these statues any more –
the men making them were from
Portugal and no longer do so

We will have a limited number
until they are gone –

These statues are a treasure, a work of art

At the end of this message are healings
from statues and the Jesus
and Mary waters –
