17 Years Ago

 

                            April 16, 1992 - Holy Thursday

                            R. We cannot close the door on the past, we are a product
                                    of the past, it is shutting the door on ourselves,
                                    We can only grow if we accept the past and
                                    learn from it.

                                As in a business, the boss looks back and sees
                                    how he did it before and tries to improve it.
                                    He would never close the door on past
                                    interactions and start everything new.
                                    He can only build on the past so
                                    the company can grow.

                                So too with our lives, we must look to our
                                    past and embrace it to know it well,
                                    it is the key to our happiness and growth.

                                We need both sides of our brain to live
                                    a balanced life one side is the
                                    thinking side and the other side is the
                                    feeling side and expressive side (expression of self),
                                    we need both sides in balance.

                            Jesus: I am the way, the truth and the life
                            no one comes to the Father except through Me.

                                  

The Our Father

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

                                  

                            R. The truth shall set you free. I
                            am speaking the truth, lies are deception
                            and cause confusion and hurt. The truth is
                            that which we need to embrace and spread
                            to have happiness. Covering up of the truth
                            usually is not to our advantage. Covering up the action
                            to protect another person can be enabling them to
                            continue their lewd behavior. In
                            the light of truth — that which really
                            is, is brought to light and dealt with —
                            hiding the truth is what allows it to
                            go on. Say for example: in an alcoholic or
                            dysfunctional family you are not protecting the
                            person but enabling them to continue their problem.

                            Jesus: Be of a clean heart and you will not
                            have to cover things up — love one another and
                            try honestly to give each their just due and there
                            will be nothing to hide. All evils shall be brought
                            to light and all goods shall be revealed
                            in the day of reckoning. Fight a good fight
                            live a good life, love, be kind and be ever
                            attentive to the needs of those around you
                            and you will be blessed with ever lasting happiness.

                                For I say unto you, many are called
                            but few are chosen, it is up to you to follow
                            the path of right. You can do My will or reject
                            My will. My will is the WAY, the TRUTH and the
                            life. The way to a long lived happy life and to
                            experience life is through the truth. The truth
                            in all things. Do unto others as you would want
                            them to do unto you. Love one another and cherish
                            your precious moments you have together.

                                The gift of children are the great
                            gifts of all, in them is life and
                            love and innocence. Cherish these
                            years when they are young and teach them
                            honesty and truth at all cost, for you are
                            molding them to bear fruit. They are My
                            precious gifts to you to have and hold and teach.
                            Your example is the way you teach. Each
                            moment is precious to behold because when
                            it is over it is gone forever. More precious
                            than jewels are the moments of your lives
                            because you will only live the moment
                            now and it is gone forever.

                                Make each moment precious, by
                            loving one another. God is first always —
                            Before anything else — any other order is
                            OUT of ORDER and does not work —
                            any other ORDER is not God's order.
                            His life is simple — it is not confused,
                            it is simple LOVE AND TRUTH —
                            these are the jewels of each moment.
                            Do the will of God.

                                I am your God, you shall have
                            no other gods before me — not WEALTH,
                            FOOD, SEX, DRINK, I am your God
                            and I am first when I am first, I give you
                            everything necessary to live. You are working
                            for Me, I will work in you, I will make
                            your life work, you let go and know I
                            am your captain. I love you and I know
                            what you need to make you happy. I
                            have your best interest at heart. Trust
                            in Me and come to Me and make your
                            ways, My ways. I love you more than
                            any other human person could love you.
                            I love you with My Divine Love. I am your
                            God and you are My precious creation, I
                            made you to love Me and love My other
                            children, do this and I will bless you with
                            peace. I am your God and I love you, forever,
                            every moment in every trial and in every tear.
                            I cried, I cried when Lazarus died. I wept
                            bitterly, I cried when I carried My cross
                            and felt betrayed and hurt, I created your
                            tears as a cleanser for you. A way to release
                            that which builds up in you.

                                I am your God, I hold your hand, I want
                            you to put your head in My lap and weep
                            and come to Me and tell Me of your joy,
                            I want you to be you, created by God, I am
                            there to listen and support and love you.
                            I am your best friend, and I love you more
                            than you can love yourself — trust Me with
                            your will and your life and I will make it
                            beautiful for you. Be happy and spread
                            your love to each other — the devil comes
                            with his lies. The devil says "You are not enough, you didn't
                            do enough, you can't do it." — I am your God, listen to Me
                            not the devil.  Believe in your life living
                            according to your vocation for My honor
                            and glory. Don't be jealous, angry, envious, mean
                            seeking dominance for dominance sake —
                            Don't be willful. Do God's will with love.
                            You were created by Me, I LOVE you
                            My precious child.

                 R.  I want to help a soul who is suffering
                 now, that they may choose good instead
                 of evil, please help all those who have
                 suffered and are now acting out anger
                 etc. and doing evil or about to
                 do evil or hurt others out of anger,
                 hatred, misabuse — lack of love —
                 etc.  —

                    Help us God to spread Your love —
                    Help people to tell the truth and come
                out of denial — hurting others —
                    Give people Your light Oh
                Holy Spirit —
                    Oh God have mercy on the human race.

               Jesus: 

              Oh My child — I outpour My grace to you —
              let go of all past hurts and forgive everyone —
              be of a clean heart so you can be
              more deeply one with Me —
              Seek purity, My child
              Seek purity
              I hold your hand, I wipe your tears —
              I know you — I love you so much —
              be of a humble heart,
              I am your God, I am there in
              all your sufferings, I will
              show you the way, ask and
              you will receive —
              seek and you shall find —
              knock and it will be opened unto you —
              for you were hungry and I reached out
              My hand to you and I gave you
              comfort —
              I gave to you the keys of the
              kingdom  — oh you — little one
              living in this world —
              reach high
              help build the kingdom of God
              while you are on earth —
              In My house there are many
                  mansions — do My will.

              Do good to those who persecute you —
              I am your God
              I am your strength
              I am ever constant and ever
              vigilant, in all your struggles
              I come with My peace and My love
              and My forgiveness.

              I am He who comforts you, Oh beloved
                of My Father,

              Cling to Me — Pray for mercy —
              you are beloved  — you are
                    blessed —
                    you are in My Heart — now
                    Feel peace.

               I am the Lord thy God, I run
               the show, you are My child
               and you must know I have
               all the power.

               I am your Savior.

               If someone is unloving — you must
                    be ready to still do My work
                    for others —

               I am your strength.

               You are to give and to love and to forgive
                    and be holy.

                You were created in the image
                    and likeness of God —

                You are to be holy despite a
                    close friend who is nasty —
                    don't close your heart to
                    others who need you —

                Do God's will.

                I am He who comforts you —

                I am your strength —

                I am your fortress —

                I am Jesus and I really love you.

                I am gentle and meek of heart —

                I am alive —

                I live in your heart

                Do not be afraid, I come to nurture
                        you and I am always before you,
                            child —

                You are kind and humble of heart —

                I know your gentle and kind ways —

                Strive always to do My will —

                Cling to Me —

                 I know you, Rita, blessed

                 child of My Father —

                 You are dear to My Heart — always —

                 Your heart is to be kind, merciful

                 I love you so much.

                 I am God-made-man.

                 I am kind and gentle of heart

                 I know you and the desires
                        of your heart.

                 You grow to be stronger in your
                        trials —

                 Make your children's lives calm and simple,
                        happy —

                  These are days to long remember

                  I give you peace and tranquility —

                  I go with you with My peace and love.
                  I go with you with My peace and love.

                  I shower you with the wealth of
                        My love and drive the devil
                        far from you —

                  Let My waters wash you so you
                        are ever purer —

                  You are free — feel this washing,
                  you have been washed, I am
                  with you, and I go with you in
                  love and with peace.

                  Cling to this thought you are
                        never alone —
                        utilize every moment of this week —
                        pray for healing
                        be in harmony with the people
                            in the family.

They will know your peace.
Go in My love and peace.

November 17, 1991

Special Day of Your Life

Jesus: You are precious in My sight. I carved you in the palm of My hand. By name, I have called you.

R. Unto You, I lift up my voice, Lord. Lord, hear my prayer and be attentive to my voice. In my pleading I embark upon this special day of my life. Console me and teach me Your ways that I might dwell in Your house forever. Be with me, God, my God.

Song: From the Day You Were Born

  

December 17, 1991

Jesus: I am Jesus. I have spoken as never before, you will spread My love to all souls on this earth.

R. When I received this message and saw the vision on March 26, the bells tolled at 8:00 a.m. and at 9:00 a.m.

The vision of Jesus' Heart on fire I had in the same pew at All Saints Church, December 17, 1991. The heart that is on the 2nd Blue Book. The first vision March 26, 1996, I had in the same pew on the other end of the pew toward the center aisle, the first pew on the right side of the church as I faced the altar.

  

December 17, 1991

His Burning Heart

R. I was alone in All Saints Church after Mass and Communion, in front of the tabernacle, when I saw the Sacred Heart. It was red around the outside, then a layer of yellow and then the brightest light in the center. I felt heat and it looked like an open furnace.

    I thought about it all day and it instantly gave me peace and warmth in my heart. This is the purpose of these lettersto draw hearts to the ardent on-fire love of Jesus. I received the following message that day:

    "Open your heart to the fire of God's love. He is ablaze in your heart. He wants to dwell in you and love you and others through you. Love God, yourself and one another and experience the fire set aglow in your heart and experience the warmth of His love."

 

16 Years Ago - 1991  

                Dear Jesus Keep my heart pure and free to
                    love, and show light to others.
                    I am knowing Your light in me.

                    I know your love Jesus —
                    I am washed clean —
                    Bathed in Your precious Blood.
                    Fill me with love, God —
                    Fill me with grace.
                    Let me know the warmth of
                        Your love.
                    Bathe me —
                    Let the Holy Spirit move in me.

                Jesus is the real spiritual doctor —
                    Jesus takes away our pain —
                    Jesus helps us forgive and let go —
                    Jesus fills us with His truth —
                    Jesus gives us His healing —

                Jesus can remove the hurts if
                    I let the lid off —
                    so His grace and healing pour
                    inside.

                God I thank You for Your healing
                    hand —

                You can do all things —

                I thank You for what You are
                    doing in my life today —

                All praise and honor to my God

                    Love,

                    I ask for Your presence
                    I ask for Your peace
                    I ask for your love

                    He sent me a blessing
                    God loves me so much


                    I rest in the Lord
                    God dwells in me
                    God has all the power —
                    Men cannot harm me

 

Matthew 25: 34-40

Then the King will say to those on his right hand, "Come, you whom my Father has blessed, take as your heritage the kingdom prepared for you since the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you made me welcome, lacking clothes and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me." Then the upright will say to him in reply, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome, lacking clothes and clothe you? When did we find you sick or in prison and go to see you?" And the King will answer, "In truth I tell you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me."

                Song: Why do we Hurt the Ones We Love

 

 

16 Years Ago -  1991

                Jesus says

                    Forgive others as you wish Me
                        to forgive you

                    You are a human person —
                    You sin —
                    You are imperfect
                    Ask for forgiveness for your
                        sins from God —

                    Move on

                    Go to confession and tell God you
                        are sorry for your sins —
                        not your brothers

                    Focus on your imperfections
                        in confession

                    Trouble yourself not for the
                        wrongs of yesterday
                        forgive

                    Busy yourself for the joys of today
                    Every moment is golden in My eyes
                    Many are wrapped in shame
                    Your moments are golden

                    Do what God intends you to do
                        today
                    Render to others their just do
                    Make recompense for your
                        sins —
                    Take responsibilities for past
                        offences

      

Matthew 18: 1-5

At this time the disciples came to Jesus and said, ‘Who is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ So he called a little child to him whom he set among them. Then he said, ‘In truth I tell you, unless you change and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. And so, the one who makes himself as little as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven.

‘Anyone who welcomes one little child like this in my name welcomes me.

 

    

                Jesus:  I love you —
                I forgive your sins
                I died for your sins and lies
                You are precious to Me
                You are wounded
                You are broken
                You are still My love

                R. We need to see the whole picture
                    of life — what is important
                    what is not

                God give me the gift of wisdom

 

Wisdom 14: 1

Wisdom builds herself a house; with her own hands Folly pulls it down.

 

                Jesus:

                    My child — I come and I harken to
                        your call — I can protect
                        you from the evil one —
                        pray for My grace

                        I give you a land flowing
                    with milk and honey. I send the
                    Holy Spirit to fill you —

                    The devil wants you to suffer —
                    People making others suffer for
                        dominance are sinning

                    You will beheld accountable for
                        your sins

                    The devil wants to hurt you
                    The devil wants you to do his
                        evil work and block My work

                    Don't deviate from My Father's Plan
                    Don't give into satan

                    I stand before you clothed in
                        white and beams of light are
                        flowing from My hands —
                        I have all the Power
                        I am there, Rita, I am here —
                        I am your God and I have rescued
                        you and your children, in
                        your pain — I have outpoured
                        My light, My love, My grace to
                        you and your children.
                    I fill you with My life
                    You will have trials.
                    You will be My light for the
                        world

                    You will see My light brighter
                        and brighter than ever before —
                        I have all the power —
                        I wrap you in the arms of
                            your mother —
                        Be not afraid —
                        You should not be frightened, child
                    I love you all, I will be there
                        in your every trial —
                        I am all powerful —
                    I am your light

 

Psalm 27: 1

Yahweh is my light and my salvation, 
    whom should I fear? 

  

                    You cried unto me and I heard your
                        pleading and your cries —

                    Others may be blind
                    Others may be deaf

                    You suffer for their deaf ears —
                        their blind eyes —
                        I speak to you —

                    Those closed in heart have a
                        trial — and much unhappiness —

                    Open your heart wide to My love

                    A person with a cold heart is
                        closed like a wall — they
                        become lifeless — they are
                        locked in a rock wall

                    A person who has closed off their
                        heart is locked in a cave of
                        darkness, they lack spontaneity —
                        their hearts become hard and cold.

                    Those whose hearts are open — know
                        life and spontaneity inside —

                    Your heart is red with the fire
                        of My love — your heart is
                        warm, your touch gentle
                        to know My letters of love —

                    Satan will attack to block My letters
                        of love — through jealous others
                        working for him

                    You are open - to My golden light —
                        I pour My light on each one
                        of your hearts —

                    You are surrounded by My halo
                        of light — You know the
                        miracle of God's love —
                        you are open to receive healing —

                    My strength is upon you.

                    Rays of light and warmth penetrate
                        your troubled souls and
                        the fire of the Holy Spirit
                        fills you —

                    I come to heal your wounded
                        heart.

                    Soak in My warmth, My
                        love,
                        You will know My power —

                    This healing is the real
                        healing that will help you —
                    I want you to know I heal
                        you and fill you —
                    You are dependent on Me
                    Soak in the light —
                    Breathe in Peace

                    Know that Jesus loves you
                        so much —

                    Live in My love —

                    I give you your special
                        children to serve Me
                        I have gifted them

                    I love them
                    I bless you in all your trials —
                    I love you
                    I am your God and I live
                        in you
                    I am with you every minute
                    Be not afraid
                    Cast out satan
                    You are blessed
                    You are the apple of My eye.
                    I stand at your bed
                    I watch you day and night
                    I never sleep
                    I am there

                    I love all of you

                                Love
                                    Jesus
 
 

                How do you feel?

                        tired
                        exhausted
                        angry
                        overwhelmed
                        scared
                        bored
                        surprised
                        shocked
                        loving
                        cautious
                        ashamed
                        afraid

                        frustrated
                        lonely
                        shy
                        anxious

                    get in touch with your
                            feelings

                Don't let them rule you —
                Satan can work in feelings  

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                    (1) Love and Forgive
                    (2) Live in truth - not deception
                    (3) Don't judge things in
                            extremes when they can
                            be gray - don't judge
                            all white or black
                    (4) Don't manipulate
                    (5) Don't control others to be dominant
                            for dominance sake
                    (6) Don't sit on a pity-pot
                            and be SELFISH

    

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

  

                    (7) See the big picture
                    (8) God will fight our fight
                    (9) God will heal our wounds
                  (10) Rely on God's grace
                            ask for it
                  (11) Don't get addicted to
                            excitement or misery
                  (12) Get unstuck from
                            stuffed feelings —
                  (13) Look at traumas that may
                            have you stuck
                  (14) Be truthful

 

                Ask yourself

                    (1) Am I self-centered
                    (2) When I am wrong do I admit it
                    (3) Am I jealous, resentful,
                            envious
                    (4) Do I know God loves me
                            so much
                    (5) Do I have fear of abandonment

                When you make a mistake say you
                    are sorry — don't lie
                    say "Oh I made a mistake, I'm sorry"

                Other forces besides me affect
                    others' lives 

                Gratitude

Come to Me in Your Pain

Jesus: Do not go only to man, most especially come to Me. I am the only One Who can completely minister to you when your heart is broken. The worst pains are the pains of the heart. Stay plugged into My source. Know I am here with you every minute, every second of your life, and I will be there always.

Come unto Me all who are weary and I will comfort you. Do not be afraid for I will gently show you the way of the Lord.

I will be your rock. I will be your fortress. I will not leave you ever. I am there. My Heart is an undying source of fire and warmth and power.

I am your power. I am your strength. I am your God. I am there every instant of your life.

R. I can never live the moments of this day again. When I go to bed, today is gone forever. I must choose to treasure each moment because it is the only moment I have and it only lasts one moment.

 

February 21, 1992

R. He told me - let go, relax, and let Him run the show. My most important job is being a light to the world - no tension, no anxiety.

  

  

 Good Friday 1992

                            R. Dear Jesus,

                                I am sorry for my sins. I am sorry you had to suffer for my sins. Thank you for coming to earth and taking on a little
                            baby body to save me and my family.

                            Thank you for your pain and your sorrow and your tears, Jesus. Thank you my God.

                                    Oh Jesus, my Savior —
                                    Thank you for giving me the gift of faith —
                                    I am your child, God!
                                    I give my will and my life to You.
                                    I want You to talk to me.
                                    I want to know how You want
                                        me to act.

                            Dear Father, thank You for creating me.

                            Dear Jesus, give me Your gentleness and Your love, Your compassion and help me to give myself for others.

                            I love You Jesus, I love You with my whole heart and my whole soul.

                            God is guiding me on the right path today.

 

 

 


 

May 2, 1992 - Saturday

R. My Dearest Jesus

Please help me to do your will — fill me with your love and goodness so I can give to others what you want me to give them.
 


 

Jesus:  You are My precious child, I love you every minute of the day. I am in you and I love you, I am in your heart — teach your children to love Me — teach them about the Eucharist — I am blessing you each in a special way. I love you and I will take care of you — I am there for you. I am your God. Ever present in your life, guarding you, watching out for you. I neither slumber or sleep. I am your God. I constantly watch out for you. I love you. We are to have harmony.

NOT MAKE CONFLICT. EXAMINE YOUR CONSCIENCE.

      

  

May 18, 1992 Thursday

R. Please help me Jesus — today
    I am in such pain —
    help me Jesus
    Pour Your Blood on me
    I cast the devils into hell —
    away from me —
    my family.

My precious Savior I love You

Answer this prayer and
    drive the devils into the fires of hell

Drip your Blood on us Jesus —

My Jesus talk to me please —

 

Jesus: My child listen to my voice,
        I am He who comforts you,
        be not afraid —
        I will not leave you orphaned —
        though you walk in raging
            water you will not
            drown —
            you are My chosen one,
            beloved of My father
            I am with you in your
                suffering —
            I suffered for you on the
                cross —
            I will pave the way and show
                you My way to walk to
                do My will

  

    R. Dear Jesus
            Help me to do your will
            clean out my rubbish and
            hate and anger
            go deep into my heart —

    Help me see the good in every person
    Especially those in my family
    Help me to celebrate the life
            I have been given —
            this wonderful and glorious day.

    I can never live the moments
        of this life again.
    I ask you Mary my sweet Mother
        to help me to be as you
        want — a good mother to my
        2 children  (the other 2 children
        were in college) as Jesus desires me
        to be.

  

The Our Father

    Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

 

R. Dear Jesus — 

Serenity Prayer

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change...
Courage to change the things I can
and Wisdom to know the difference.

 

May 19, 1992

                    R. I must treasure each moment I have right now because I can never have it back again.

                        I love You Jesus
                        I love You Holy Spirit
                        I love You God the Father

 

 

May 27, 1992

Jesus:  My ways are simple My child — You must realize this. My child I know how afraid you are I am with you now!!

 

 

October 5, 1992 - 3:30am

R. Dear Jesus, Give me Your hand to write this book for you. I am your servant. I want to be Your hand to this world. If you, Lord Jesus, would write a book, what would you say?

Jesus:   My dear children,

   Today I come to deliver a message to each of you. I want to tell you of each person's dignity, of their beauty and their self-worth. Each child is, oh, so uniquely precious to My Most Sacred Heart. Each child is full of the talents I have given to them. Each person is divinely created by God and given all these gifts to be happy and love one another.

   The problem comes when you feel you will be left out. That you will be left by another who has trodden on you and will do it again. I see you all as My most precious children. I watch your every move and know all pain and anguish in your heart. My Heart aches, you have insecure feelings about yourself. I came to this earth I died for you. I felt cold, hungry, lonely on this earth. You need not worry that no one knows the pain and anguish in your heart. God created you with such special gifts and talents. It is important for you to raise above your wound and forgive those who hurt you.

   You need only turn your will and your life over to Me and I will guide you in all your ways. I have all the Power. Many are not of My ways. The key to life is to recognize your faults, but still know you are this precious gift of My Father a gift to this world. This world is in need of your strength. Running yourself down, blaming others hurting them can cause you misery and pain. At this very moment, you are the precious creation of God!! You must operate with Me in your heart.

   You need not run yourself down. I am with you every day guiding your ways, lest your foot stumble and you lose your way. You will not wander far from your path if every day you keep bringing your focus back to Me. If you dare let Me be at the helm, if you dare to really let Me run your life, I will do with you such wonders that you yourself would be amazed. But you will know with such ease when you did these things that you did not do them alone. You will know My power, moving the mountain, My power chipping at the stone, My power working on your hardest problem and you will be set free.

   Oh yes, you will be set free and know a serenity that only comes from letting go and letting Me run your life. To you, My child, I have given all that is good. I made you My holy soldier, My warrior in a world of pain and hatred. You are the light that shines in the darkness, you are the coat to a cold child, you are the smile that warms a troubled and lonely heart. You are the comfort for everyone you meet, because My most precious Heart powers you, smiles through you, understands and loves through you.

   Love your fellows for Me. There are so many troubled hearts that need to know My love. I can love through you if you let Me, I can be their friend through you if you let Me. I am He who comforts you and you are he who comforts them. My power is endless, it never runs out, there is not a power failure EVER. In your darkest hour, My light shines in the darkness and I say to you, "Oh blessed of My Father, look at yourself with awe, you are My creation, you are indeed so precious to Me, you are My light to this world, you are My hands and My feet and most of all My Heart."

   Oh, you are My loving Heart, to those who are bowed down, to those who are lost in the darkness, you carry My smile and wear My armor in a world that is trying to tear one another down with hate and ugliness. There is gentleness, there is love, there is hope in you, if you open yourself up to Me. Be My knight to the world, wear My armor. I am your God and I will protect you from the darkness. Plug into My power, be not afraid, I go before you always and you can rest in My arms when you feel weary. You can put your head in My lap and weep, you will know, I am truly with you and you are My light to this world. I created you so special - to cast out fear in the darkness, to clothe the naked, to give hope to the oppressed, to be as I live in you and love through you and you are My smile and I touch My hurting ones through your love.

You are he who loves this world. You must stay plugged into My power-source This world is hungry for My love. It needs My love, I give to them through you. I am your God and I made you as a gift to the world. You are filled.

Focus on Me and your life will be abundant and whole, joy in suffering, freedom but you can take the knocks because you will know you do not go it alone, but with Me. I love you My precious child.

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."

Yes — All the ends of the earth have seen
the power of God.

 

     God has called us to be united as a family in
the Shepherds of Christ.

     This is a vocation — to pray deeply for
the priests, the Church and the world and
to help support the Newsletter and the
Ministries.

     Remember the image of Our Lady
of Clearwater on the building. We have
very special Fatima statues so you can
have a special place of prayer in your
homes, praying the rosary for your family
and for the priests, the Church and the
world. If you are interested in these
very special Fatima/Clearwater statues
e-mail me with your phone number
and address 
info@sofc.org.

     Those using the special statues
will be united to us in a special way —
We want you to pray the Shepherds of
Christ prayers for the priests, the Church
and the world from your special place
in your home.

     When people have set up a prayer corner/niche
with this statue, Fatima/Clearwater glass, they have
reported that their families have received special
blessings. With this statue it is important to pray
the prayers in the red prayer manual and consecrate
your home and family to the Sacred Heart and
Immaculate Heart.

Call Sheila or Doris about statues or go to China or
Clearwater.
