Given July 22, 2008

                    The whole mission is peace —

                    When Mary appeared at Fatima she
                        said if we didn't obey
                        there would be World War II and
                        it would begin as a sign —

                    The devastation World War II was tremendous —
                        We can not even think of the
                        horror of that war and yet Mary
                        warned us in 1917. Mary told us
                        what we must do to have peace.

                    Mary wanted dioceses consecrated to the
                        Hearts of Jesus and Mary —

                    Mary said until a sufficient amount of
                        people consecrate their hearts to
                        the Hearts of Jesus and Mary we
                        won't have peace in the world.

                    Being yoked to Jesus means being so
                        one with Him —

                    Jesus is perfect peace —

                    Giving our hearts to the Hearts of
                        Jesus and Mary mean being in
                        greater peace

                    Mary said at Fatima to pray the rosary.

                    Mary said to Jacinta before her death
                        that Jesus wants His Heart venerated
                        next to hers.

                    Peace comes from doing God's will —

                    Peace means we want harmony —
                        we want order — we want love
                        according to the Father's Plan.

                    When Adam and Eve sinned there was
                        disorder, discord —

 

Genesis 3: 19

   By the sweat of your face
   will you earn your food,
   until you return to the ground,
   as you were taken from it.
   For dust you are
   and to dust you shall return.’

  

                    When Mary's image appeared at
                        Clearwater December 17, 1996 —
                        she had already appeared to
                        me daily 14 months at an old
                        seminary and I received
                        Rosary Meditations published
                        in a book discerned by Fr. Carter S.J.
                        doctorate in theology.
                        The Red Rosary Book had a rainbow
                        on it because I received a message
                        to do so.

                    On December 17, 1996 Mary's image appeared
                        on the Clearwater building in
                        rainbow color.

Mary appeared
December 17, 1996

    

                    The rainbow was a sign God used when
                        He made a covenant with man
                        after the flood at the time
                        of Noah.

                    Mary is the Queen of Peace —

                    Mary said at Fatima the peace of
                        the world was entrusted to her.

                        Mary is the New Eve.

                    The disorder in the world came from
                        the fall of Adam and Eve.

                    Mary is the woman robed with the sun —

                    The light was dimmed with the fall —

                    The more we go to Mary's Immaculate Heart
                        and allow the Holy Spirit to enlighten
                        us in her pure and holy heart the
                        more we are enlightened.

                    When Mary first appeared to me July 5, 1994
                        at the old seminary 14 years ago —

                        Mary looked as if she was covered
                        with a light from a fire —

                    I have always seen Mary appear in
                        tremendous light

                        In China the whole wall was covered
                            with this yellow white light
                            when she came April 13, 2008 —

                    That was 14 years after I received this
                        message 

    

Picture of the Sacred Heart of JesusI Love You

(Letter for Front of B.B. II)
April 13, 1994

How, child, do I, Jesus, tell you I love you? You hold on to silly things, when God is in your midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children. I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same Jesus Who died a brutal death on the cross.

Do you know I am truly present there? Do you know that God waits every day for you in the tabernacle? Do you comprehend even a minute amount of My love? You will never on earth know how I love you.

I, Jesus, truly the Son of God, came to earth a man and suffered a brutal death for love of you. I love you so much! I remain with you this day. I long for your love. I want you to come and be with Me in front of the tabernacle. I wait, I yearn for you to come and whisper your love to Me. I am a Person and I love you this day with such an ardent, on-fire love. No human could ever compare a speck to My love for you.

I wait, little ones, in the tabernacle. I wait for you to come and receive Me in Communion. I want you to want Me so much that you cannot wait to come and receive Me. I want to be the love, the Center of your life!

I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am writing to you this day. I want to possess your very soul and live in you. I have all you need, sweet ones. Oh, you are so blind! I long for your union with Me. I wrote the book on love. I instituted it, yet you go to the world for your love and do not even come to Me! Oh, I love you, little ones. Little ones, beloved of the Father, loved by the Holy Spirit, mothered by My very own mother, what more can I say? The rest is up to you!

I give you your will with such love and I want your love, freely given. I am God. What do you think you could ever need that I do not give you? I am the Savior of this world. I am Jesus, the Son of God. I am waiting for you. I am longing for you. I am yearning for you. I am God. I have all you ever will need!

Surrender this life to Me. Pray My prayer for union with Me. I want to possess your soul and operate from your very being. I am Jesus. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I am Who am. I died and rose on the third day.

Harken to My call, harken to My pleading. Spend your days in love with Me. Nothing matters unless it is rooted in Me and rooted in My love. I am the Son of God. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I love you with the tenderest love. I am waiting this day for you, My beloved one. Come to Me for I am the tenderest of all hearts. I am the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

                    God showed me this light —
                        the more we go to the Immaculate
                        Heart of the New Eve, the more
                        we are in the light —

                        the more the poor banished children
                            of Adam and Eve see
                            In the scripture it refers to seeing with
                            "the light of seven suns"

                        We will throw away the polluted rags
                            and run to the Eucharist —

                        Mary is Mother of the Eucharist

 

 

                    Disobedience

                        innocent people always

                            suffer with sin

                    Abraham did the will of God

                    We do not want to be enslaved to sin —

                    God wants us faithful to Him

                    We want

                        ORDER     not      DISORDER

                    obey God's rules

                        not utter chaos

                    What we do

                        effects others,

                        but it will come back to us

                    Grace is a gift

                        God's law!!   

                        We must obey to please Him —

                    Jesus is the fulfillment of the law —

                    We must have rules

                    Commandments

                    Obedience is the 4th commandment

                    JESUS wants our SMILE

                    God gives the vision of the Shepherds of Christ

                        to help renew the Church and

                        the world —

                    God gave vision to His prophets

                        to help them move in the

                        direction He wants

                    Ultimately God is the King of History

                    God has a plan

                    God gives us grace to fulfill His plan

                    Every good we do is because

                        of God's grace

                    God does not want a proud heart —

                        Mary's heart was humble

                    The Spirit gives us life

                    Think of a person taking their

                        last breathe

                    God works in structure

                    The more we do His Plan —

                        the more we have ORDER

                    There was disorder after the fall

                    Baptism changes the person

                    In Baptism we receive a sharing

                        in His life

                    The Father, Son and Holy Spirit live in

                        the graced, baptized soul

                    When we do bad we need to do

                        reparation

                    Because of the fall there is

                        separation, division

                    Jesus came to save us.

                    Jesus gives us the Mass —

                    When we are one with Jesus we

                        are in harmony with

                        each other — order —

                        following the law

                    Jesus is the way, the truth and the

                        life —

                    When we are saturated with His

                        grace we become more one with
                        God and others —

                    Every life created has a purpose

                        in His Divine Plan  

                    Cardinal Newman says

                    "... everyone who breathes, high and low,
                    educated and ignorant, young and old, man and woman,
                    has a mission, has a work. We are not sent
                    into this world for nothing; we are not born at
                    random. . . God sees every one of us;
                    He creates every soul, He lodges it in
                    a body, one by one, for a purpose. He needs,
                    He deigns to need, every one of us.
                    He has an end for each of us."
                                   
(Discourses addressed to mixed congregations)

  

                    We are to be faithful to God's plan

                        and God will help us

                    God promises us security in

                        loving Him —

                        read the Word —

                    When we follow God's Plan and

                        obey Him we have order

                        in our lives

                    Not disorder coming from giving

                        into pride, anger, lust,

                        willfulness against God's plan

                    We are to give back to God

                        tithing — giving back to God

                    We get blessed when we give to

                        God — we owe God —

                    Saying thanks to God and others —

                    I knew God's love when He wrote

                        to me His letters of love —

                        He blessed me —

                        But He has blessed us all with
                            the custodianship of
                            circulating these precious
                            letters of His love

                        He wants our thanks, appreciation,
                            filling the hungry souls
                            with His letters of love

                    God intended us to tell the world

                        the letters telling the world

                        of His love to feed the hungry

                        souls —

                    Song: God's Love

 

                    Souls are going down the wrong

                        road which leads to their

                        destruction

                    They are hungry

                    They are searching

                    They need the Blue Books
                        God's precious letters of love
                       
                    Jesus says:

                        I love My precious souls so much —

                        I died for them —
                        Tell them — I DIED for them

                    R. Everything we have is a blessing

                        from God —

                    We have talents to be a good carpenter,

                        talents to be what God

                        wanted in His Plan for us.

                    We are to thank God

                        and give Him — His due

                        LOVE Him

                        Love each other

                    TITHING means giving to God

                        from our earnings —

                    We serve God with our lives —

                    We aren't saying to God — when

                        He asks us to do something
                        "MAKE ME GOD"

                    We are serving Him in love
                    We are serving Him in joy

                    Who wants someone to do work who

                        brings selfishness, willfulness

                        and a very dark cloud

                    Serve willingly

                    God has blessed us

                        We are to give love to God and

                            others by helping them

                            get to heaven —

                            to know God and His love —

                            to show them the way of Christ

                    Jesus is the Savior

                    The angel Gabriel was a messenger

                    God sends messengers

                    Mary appeared to Bernadette she
                        says I am the Immaculate
                        Conception

                    Mary gives the Fatima messages
                        to the 3 visionaries —

                        God is with us!!

                    John Paul II said

                        If you want to know Jesus,
                            you must go to Mary

                    Fr. Carter said

                        If we want that intimacy —
                            deep intimacy with Jesus
                            we must go to Mary's heart —

                    The pope said — the Protestants are
                        getting into Mary

                    Bishop Sheen said

                        Muslims will convert through
                            Mary

                    Mary is the Universal woman

                        Mary is full of grace

                        Mary is the sinless virgin

                        Jesus means God saves

                        Emmanuel God is with us

                        Jesus' Kingdom will have no end
               
                        Mary pondered all things in
                            her heart

   

Luke 1: 46-55

And Mary said:

My soul proclaims
    the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
    in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
    the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
    all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
    has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
    to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
    from their thrones
        and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
    sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
    of Israel his servant,
        mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
    he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
    and to his descendants for ever.

   

                    Sing: Holy is His Name

                    There are so many denominations

                        in the world

                        Fr. Pasquini said in Bible Study

                            over 30,000

                    We need the Mary aspect in

                        our lives —
                       
                        the feminine

                    God has gifted us


                    Jesus saves us from the slavery
                        of sin

                    Sin becomes slavery

                    Holiness is about conquering
                        temptation

                        Enslaved to sin

                        Addicted to sin

                        Sin enslaves us

                    We can conquer anything if

                        we go to Jesus in

                        His time and in His way

                    We can have

                        Freedom from slavery

                        Confession really helps —

                        Jesus gives us baptism

                    Jesus was beat up, but not

                                    conquered

                                                      Flesh
                                                 
                        Concupiscence
     World
                                                 
                                                    Devil

                    Those in the desert worshiped

                        a calf

                    People of God fell into temptation —

                    God gave them Manna in the desert —

                    God gives us the bread of eternal
                        life to nourish us on

                        our journey

                    When we receive Christ we

                        eat the risen flesh

                    Cannibals eat dead flesh

                    Our Catholic Faith is a gift —

                    Pray for married couples —

                        should strive for same - married

                        couples have the same vision


                    After the fall

                        Adam and Eve looked at God imperfectly
                        Adam and Eve looked at each other imperfectly
                        Adam and Eve looked at themselves imperfectly

                    Husband and wife are to help each
                        other to get to heaven —

                        love —

                    There is tension between men and
                        women because of original
                        sin

                    From Fr. John's Bible Studies

                        Tension because of original sin

                        Adam and Eve were now
                                        SELF-CENTERED

                                        not other centered

                                        spouses were self-centered

   

Excerpt from Response to God's love  

Chapter 8 

...Many persons who choose marriage say they do so out of a desire to be loved. Notice, they say that they marry out of a desire to be loved, not to love. In fairness to these persons, perhaps we should presume that they realize they in turn must also offer love. Yet, is it not revealing that they explicitly mention as the reason for marrying a desire to be loved? Could there be a close correlation between this phenomenon and the extraordinarily high divorce rate that prevails in our culture? If it is common that both partners enter marriage more from a need to receive love than from a desire to give it, do we have to look further for the reason to explain why so many marriages are plagued with various degrees of unhappiness?...

    

                    There was tension between men and women —
                        Men want to dominate women —
                        Men and women not other-centered —
                        Some selfish

                    Some marriages 2 HARD-HEADED Spouses

                        Tension to dominate each other
                            (2 dominate people)

                        It works if one is dominant,
                            sometimes — other is not
                            dominate

                    Because of original sin — the person can
                        be looked on for an object of pleasure —
                        not the whole person

                    Original sin — can take away
                            focus on the "person"

                            then can be treated like less
                                of a human person

                            somebody can be treated more like
                                an "object" than a "person"

                    disorder in the elements

                            TUSOMII
                            HURRICANES

                    Loss of harmony to animals and humans

                        when we mess with the natural
                            order there is a problem

 

Genesis 3: 19

   By the sweat of your face
   will you earn your food,
   until you return to the ground,
   as you were taken from it.
   For dust you are
   and to dust you shall return.’

 

                    The perfect paradise is gone

                        animals are used for food and work

                    We look at each other and see distortion

                        ORIGINAL SIN

                        We must wait for Jesus

                    God does not abandon us

                    God wants our salvation

                    Catholics believe the human nature
                        is wounded due to original sin

                        1) we are susceptible to ignorance
                        2) we are susceptible to sin
                        3) we are susceptible to rebellion

                    If everybody who were Catholic went

                        to Church we wouldn't fit

 

                    Fr. Pasquini wrote this book for 

                        1) falling away Catholics
                        2) people wanting to know about Catholics —
                        3) people already good Catholics
                        4) Catholic instruction

                    Original sin and its weaknesses can

                        lead a person to make this
                        erroneous statement

                        "I will pick what I like about faith,
                            but I will reject what I don't
                            like"

 

Colossians 1: 24-26

It makes me happy to be suffering for you now, and in my own body to make up all the hardships that still have to be undergone by Christ for the sake of his body, the Church, of which I was made a servant with the responsibility towards you that God gave to me, that of completing God's message, the message which was a mystery hidden for generations and centuries and has now been revealed to his holy people.

   

                    We have a Free Will

                        If we are to love — we need to
                            be free —

                        Love — We have a free choice
                                        every day

                    God loves us —

                        God gives us a free choice
                            to love Him

                        We must love God to have
                            salvation —

                    God allows men and women to have
                            children
                            co-create

                    ADAM and EVE
                        Cain and Abel

                        Cain slew His brother

                        Sin has become premeditated

                        There is killing, blood of
                            his brother

                    God chooses us

                    God has a Plan for us

                    God chooses who He wants

                    God speaks to us in His creation

                    God's handprint is in all

                        He creates

                    God promised to send a Redeemer

                        heaven is celestial bliss
                        hell is the absence of God

                    God created the world out of
                        nothing

 

2 Maccabees 7: 28

I implore you, my child, look at the earth and sky and everything in them, and consider how God made them out of what did not exist, and that human beings come into being in the same way.

 

                    God calls Himself the
                        "I Am"

                    Every sin is contrary to the

                        natural order of things

                    Everything of God

                            PATTERNED

                            NATURAL ORDER

                   When we distort order we have
                                        problems

                    ORDER — in plants
                                    plants reproduce plants

                                    humans reproduce humans

                    God has a purpose

                    After the fall animals don't live
                        side by side

                    Secularism human beings trying

                        to be like god without God

 

Genesis 3: 1-7

    Now, the snake was the most subtle of all the wild animals that Yahweh God had made. It asked the woman, 'Did God really say you were not to eat from any of the trees in the garden?' The woman answered the snake, 'We may eat the fruit of the trees in the garden. But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden God said, "You must not eat it, nor touch it, under pain of death." ' Then the snake said to the woman, 'No! You will not die! God knows in fact that the day you eat it your eyes will be opened and you will be like gods, knowing good from evil.' The woman saw that the tree was good to eat and pleasing to the eye, and that it was enticing for the wisdom that it could give. So she took some of its fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened and they realised that they were naked. So they sewed fig-leaves together to make themselves loin-cloths.

    

                    Bible notes Fr. John

                    EVIL is passed on

                        The Soul is spirit and life

                    God shows compassion for the

                        human race at the time

                        of Noah

                    God uses the language we

                        understand

                    God desires holiness
                    God will wipe out everything,

                        but Noah is pleasing to Jesus —
                        poison entered the world

                    Noah is pleasing to God

                    LAWLESSNESS

                    Where SIN there is SLAVERY
                               SIN makes us addicts

                                        (not free)


                        Slavery to sin

                        ORDER

                    God → Saved the human race

                        Noah will be a new Adam

                        Noah carried all commands of God


                    What does God teach us with

                        the flood and the hurricane

                    Its a long hard journey

                        God is just

                    ORDER

                    NATURAL ORDER

                    MORAL ORDER


                    LACK of ORDER is SIN


                    SIN — go to confession

                    disorder into our life is SIN


                    7 days of creation


                    A new creation with Noah

                    40 years in the desert by Moses

                    40 days of the flood


                    God is always renewing us

                    Great Flood

                    All entered the Ark

                    life will be where Noah is

                    everywhere else death

                    Only Noah and Ark survived
                        (Noah, his wife, children etc.)

                    Death with Flood

 

 

 


                    Our reasoning is wounded

 

 

                    Our wounded human nature affects

                        our reasoning

                    In the garden before the fall our

                        human nature was not wounded

                    ADAM and EVE —————> DISOBEYED

                   

                    Fr. Pasquini — Bible Notes
 

                    This separates us from God — UNTRUTHS

                    In the most holy parents — all are wounded
                                                            by original sin

                    Some people say

                        "I'm not telling my children to go to

                            Church or not, I will let them
                            decide for themselves"

                    Do we let our children walk out
                        in traffic —

                    We need to tell them not to misuse
                        drugs —

                    We tell them to do their homework.

                    We train our children.

                    The 4th commandment says they
                        must obey their parents.

                    Some say

                        "Oh I'm not training our children
                            in their faith —"
                            "Oh you can do what you want
                                children — you decide"

                            "Oh you must go to soccer"

                    When Fr. John was a little boy he

                        had to read from the Bible a

                        little paragraph every day —

                        his mother taught him to

                        pray.

 

Hail Mary

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. * Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

   

Transcribed from a tape entitled

The Blessed Mother 

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
Conference given for priests - Conference 18
Ministr-o media, Inc. 1974

 

Lovely Lady dressed in blue,
    teach me how to pray.
God was just your little Boy,
    tell me what to say.

Did you lift Him up sometimes,
    gently on your knee?
Did you sing to Him the way
    mother does to me?

Did you ever try telling Him
    stories of the world?
And oh, did He cry?

Do you think He cares
    if I tell Him things?
Just little things that happen.

And do angels wings make a noise?
    Can He hear me if I speak low?
Does He understand me now?
    Tell me for you know.

Lovely Lady dressed in blue,
    teach me how to pray.
God was just your little boy
    and you know the way.”


 

 

  

 

 

 

 

                    Secularism —
                            trying to be like God
                                without God

                    Commandments bring harmony

                        written on our souls

                        the commandments are the
                            pathway to happiness

                    HARMONY

                    Road map to holiness — LOVE

                    Jesus leads us to a pathway of

                        happiness not a pathway of

                        destruction

                    Spiritual Blindness

                        Being open to God

                        Hear what God wants us to hear

                        Not defensive

                        Not having a hardened heart

                        Not being bitter or angry

                    Christ is the vine —
                        we are the branches
                            attached to Him

 

John 15: 1-8

I am the true vine,
and my Father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that bears no fruit
he cuts away,
and every branch that does bear fruit
     he prunes
to make it bear even more.
You are clean already,
by means of the word
     that I have spoken to you.
Remain in me, as I in you.
As a branch cannot bear fruit all by itself,
unless it remains part of the vine,
neither can you unless you remain in me.
I am the vine,
you are the branches.
Whoever remains in me, with me in him,
bears fruit in plenty;
for cut off from me you can do nothing.
Anyone who does not remain in me
is thrown away like a branch
—and withers;
these branches are collected
     and thrown on the fire
and are burnt.
If you remain in me
and my words remain in you,
you may ask for whatever you please
and you will get it.
It is to the glory of my Father
      that you should bear much fruit
and be my disciples.

 


                    We pray for healing of the whole
                        person, body, mind and soul

                   healing — confession — returns us

                        to abundant life

                    Being spiritually enlightened

                    In the world
                            good is made to look evil
                            evil is made to look good

 

   

                    Only God's ways lead to happiness —

                    Blindness — unhappiness

                    See through Christ's eyes —

                    Don't focus on selfishness —

 

John 3: 30

He must grow greater, I must grow less.

 

                    Evil ways

                    (1) World

                            Fr. Mike said

                                A frog will jump in a boiling
                            pan of water and jump right
                            out because of the heat.

                                But frogs love warm water
                            and he will jump in and stay
                            and if the warm water is turned
                            up gradually to boiling — the
                            frog will not notice it —
                            stay in the water and he will
                            die.

                                blindness
                                abortion
                                gay marriages

                                evil gets deeper

                            there can be bigoted groups
                            evil is institutionalized

                    God gives us baptism —

                    Some people stand up even if they are not popular

                        against abortion, gay marriages

                        etc.

                    Other people can go with the flow —

                    Christian has insight — they can see

                    People can come to Church
                        caught in the flow
                        say (which is wrong) "oh the world is perfect"

                    Concupiscence
                            rebellion — tendency toward self
                                            self-centered

                            The grace of God can heal
                                    rebelliousness

                (2) Devil
                        Competing ideas
                        Accept the vision of the world over God's

                        We must grow in Christ —
                                see the world the way it really is —
                                know ourselves as we are
                                and be humble — live more like Jesus

 

                    Fr. Pasquini's Bible Notes

                        Put away hardened heart
                            and have soft heart — open heart

                        Go to confession —
                                    reflect on ourselves
                                    act good — pray for grace
                                    grow in self-knowledge

                        Confession chance to conquer our
                            woundedness

                    Concupiscence inborn to rebellion

                    It isn't smart to ignore Christ
                    It isn't smart to ignore the scriptures

 


                    We live in a society of many

                        ill-informed consciences

                    Because of what we do that is

                        evil and continue to do we
                        can have an ill-informed
                        conscience and
                        have no problem doing anything
                            wrong

                    Sin can become common place
                        to these people

 


                    The Good Shepherd leads to abundant
                        life —

                        We hear the Good Shepherd in scripture

 


Colossians 3: 9-17

...You have stripped off your old behaviour with your old self, and you have put on a new self which will progress towards true knowledge the more it is renewed in the image of its Creator; and in that image there is no room for distinction between Greek and Jew, between the circumcised and uncircumcised, or between barbarian and Scythian, slave and free. There is only Christ: he is everything and he is in everything. 

    As the chosen of God, then, the holy people whom he loves, you are to be clothed in heartfelt compassion, in generosity and humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with one another; forgive each other if one of you has a complaint against another. The Lord has forgiven you; now you must do the same. Over all these clothes, put on love, the perfect bond. And may the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it is for this that you were called together in one body. Always be thankful. 

    Let the Word of Christ, in all its richness, find a home with you. Teach each other, and advise each other, in all wisdom. With gratitude in your hearts sing psalms and hymns and inspired songs to God; and whatever you say or do, let it be in the name of the Lord Jesus, in thanksgiving to God the Father through him.

Ezekiel 34: 11-16

    "For the Lord Yahweh says this: Look, I myself shall take care of my flock and look after it. As a shepherd looks after his flock when he is with his scattered sheep, so shall I look after my sheep. I shall rescue them from wherever they have been scattered on the day of clouds and darkness. I shall bring them back from the peoples where they are; I shall gather them back from the countries and bring them back to their own land. I shall pasture them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the inhabited parts of the country. I shall feed them in good pasturage; the highest mountains of Israel will be their grazing ground. There they will rest in good grazing grounds; they will browse in rich pastures on the mountains of Israel. I myself shall pasture my sheep, I myself shall give them rest–declares the Lord Yahweh. I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray, bandage the injured and make the sick strong. I shall watch over the fat and healthy. I shall be a true shepherd to them.

 

                    Obedience to Good Shepherd

                        they hear His voice and answer Him

                        many miss His voice

                        they are crying to hear the voice

                            of the Good Shepherd —

                            they do not recognize Him

                    Do Christians show others how
                        Christ is

                    Malcolm Muggeridge said

                            I met Jesus Christ when

                                I met Mother Teresa

 
    

Galatians 2: 19-20

...I have been crucified with Christ and yet I am alive; yet it is no longer I, but Christ living in me.
 

  

                    People see Christ in Mother Teresa

                    We don't own our bodies

                    We are to take care of ourselves

   

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.'

  

                    Happy life   ↔   harmony

                    We can have peace even among

                        negative conditions and

                        live life abundantly

                    Nursing homes — Can have people
                            sweet or bitter and angry

 

John 17: 21-23

May they all be one,
just as, Father, you are in me
   and I am in you,
so that they also may be in us,
so that the world may believe
it was you who sent me.
I have given them the glory
   you gave to me,
that they may be one as we are one.
With me in them and you in me,
may they be so perfected in unity
that the world will recognise
   that it was you who sent me
and that you have loved them
as you have loved me.

  

                    We must work at spiritual life —

                        Study — prayer — work

                    God prunes the branches

                    We must be deeply rooted in

                        the vine

                    We can see people that look

                        like walking stiffs in

                        the world

   

Ascension Thursday May 21, 1998

Jesus:  (with great emotion)  COME OUT OF YOUR TOMBS, COME OUT I CALL YOU!!!!  I have imparted to you knowledge of myself, transforming your heart and soul to be more likened to mine.

I give you messages after the reception of the Eucharist for it is then I am most one with you. Put aside the thoughts of burgers and what have you in your minds and listen to Me you earthly beings.

Come out of your tombs, come out I call to you who slumber and sleep and do not hear the voice of the Mighty One. Your are like the dead that need to be raised. A trumpet horn blaring would not waken a man who is blind from birth. Only the Lord will unlock the minds of the senseless men, so foolish, but oh how I do indeed love them so.

Come out I tell you, I call you, in your sleepy state with scales in your eyes you do not see. If these scales were removed and a fresh lense graphed on the already existing eye, the men may see then clearly that I speak in these messages to bring about the Reign of My Heart and the triumph of the wailing woman's Heart on the earth.

I came, I gave the gifts and the world slept. My little ones, the apostles slept in the garden when my hour was at hand.

Oh my shanty little town, you are stuck indeed, in your ways. You walk the streets as blind men and I shout to you.

My earth, come out of your tombs, come out and live a life rooted deeply in My Heart....

R. I heard our Lord over and over again cry out during this period, "Come out of your tombs, dead, dead, dead, you are dead."

end of May 21, 1998

 
                   
                        Stay attached to Christ

                        The Father is the Vine - grower

 

 

                    The more we stay one with

                            God the more we will

                            flourish

                    If we are cut off from God we die —

 

Matthew 11: 28-30

‘Come to me, all you who labour and are overburdened, and I will give you rest. Shoulder my yoke and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Yes, my yoke is easy and my burden light.’

  

                    God must be the center

   

Genesis 4: 6-8

Yahweh asked Cain, ‘Why are you angry and downcast? If you are doing right, surely you ought to hold your head high! But if you are not doing right, Sin is crouching at the door hungry to get you. You can still master him.’ Cain said to his brother Abel, ‘Let us go out’; and while they were in the open country, Cain set on his brother Abel and killed him. 

   

                    devil tempts

                    We can have power over the devil

                    We can conquer the devil

                    Adam and Eve blamed everybody,
                        but themselves

                    Worse sin premeditated

                        Cain planned to kill Abel

                        Cain planned to kill his brother
                            out of jealousy

                        We can master our temptations
                            we need God's help —

 

Genesis 4: 6-8

Yahweh asked Cain, ‘Why are you angry and downcast? If you are doing right, surely you ought to hold your head high! But if you are not doing right, Sin is crouching at the door hungry to get you. You can still master him.’ Cain said to his brother Abel, ‘Let us go out’; and while they were in the open country, Cain set on his brother Abel and killed him. 

 

                    Sin can start small —
                        get bigger and bigger

                    Before Mass we should reflect
                        on our venial sins

                    Fr. Carter made a 10 minute examination
                        of conscience twice a day

                    Confession shows humility

                                   God loves us

                            say "God I love You"

                    The more we know our venial

                        sins the more we conquer

                        them

                    When sin builds up — bad habits

                        of sin — we can distort

                        what we are doing that is

                        evil

                    God never abandons the faithful
