July 28, 2004

Messenger:            The joy I have in my heart is
                            from the fact I know —
                                Jesus loves me.

  

Judith 16: 2-3, 13-15

For the Lord is a God 
    who breaks battle–lines; 
he has pitched his camp 
    in the middle of his people 
to deliver me from the hands 
    of my oppressors. 

Assyria came down 
    from the mountains of the north, 
came with tens of thousands of his army. 
Their multitude blocked the ravines, 
their horses covered the hills

I shall sing a new song to my God. 
Lord, you are great, you are glorious, 
wonderfully strong, unconquerable. 
May your whole creation serve you! 
For you spoke and things came into being, 
you sent your breath 
    and they were put together, 
and no one can resist your voice. 

Should mountains be tossed 
    from their foundations 
to mingle with the waves, 
should rocks melt 
like wax before your face, 
to those who fear you, 
you would still be merciful.

 

  

    

Psalm 47: 1-2, 5-6, 9

Clap your hands, all peoples, 
acclaim God with shouts of joy. 

For Yahweh, the Most High, is glorious, 
the great king over all the earth. 

God goes up to shouts of acclaim, 
Yahweh to a fanfare on the ram’s horn. 

Let the music sound for our God, let it sound, 
let the music sound for our king, let it sound. 

The leaders of the nations rally 
to the people of the God of Abraham. 
The shields of the earth belong to God, 
who is exalted on high.

    

Psalm 33: 1, 12, 18-19, 20, 22

Shout for joy, you upright; 
praise comes well from the honest.

How blessed the nation whose God is Yahweh, 
the people he has chosen as his heritage.

But see how Yahweh watches over those who fear him, 
those who rely on his faithful love,
 
to rescue them from death 
and keep them alive in famine. 

We are waiting for Yahweh; 
he is our help and our shield, 
for in him our heart rejoices, 
in his holy name we trust. 
Yahweh, let your faithful love rest on us, 
as our hope has rested in you.

  

Hebrews 11: 1-2, 8-19

Only faith can guarantee the blessings that we hope for, or prove the existence of realities that are unseen. It is for their faith that our ancestors are acknowledged.

    It was by faith that Abraham obeyed the call to set out for a country that was the inheritance given to him and his descendants, and that he set out without knowing where he was going. By faith he sojourned in the Promised Land as though it were not his, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. He looked forward to the well–founded city, designed and built by God. 

    It was equally by faith that Sarah, in spite of being past the age, was made able to conceive, because she believed that he who had made the promise was faithful to it. Because of this, there came from one man, and one who already had the mark of death on him, descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and the grains of sand on the seashore which cannot be counted

    All these died in faith, before receiving any of the things that had been promised, but they saw them in the far distance and welcomed them, recognising that they were only strangers and nomads on earth. People who use such terms about themselves make it quite plain that they are in search of a homeland. If they had meant the country they came from, they would have had the opportunity to return to it; but in fact they were longing for a better homeland, their heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, since he has founded the city for them. 

    It was by faith that Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac. He offered to sacrifice his only son even though he had yet to receive what had been promised, and he had been told: Isaac is the one through whom your name will be carried on. He was confident that God had the power even to raise the dead; and so, figuratively speaking, he was given back Isaac from the dead.

  

                            Sing: Be Not Afraid

  

Luke 12: 32-48

    ‘There is no need to be afraid, little flock, for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom.

    ‘Sell your possessions and give to those in need. Get yourselves purses that do not wear out, treasure that will not fail you, in heaven where no thief can reach it and no moth destroy it. For wherever your treasure is, that is where your heart will be too.

    ‘See that you have your belts done up and your lamps lit. Be like people waiting for their master to return from the wedding feast, ready to open the door as soon as he comes and knocks. Blessed those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes. In truth I tell you, he will do up his belt, sit them down at table and wait on them. It may be in the second watch that he comes, or in the third, but blessed are those servants if he finds them ready. You may be quite sure of this, that if the householder had known at what time the burglar would come, he would not have let anyone break through the wall of his house. You too must stand ready, because the Son of man is coming at an hour you do not expect.’ 

    Peter said, ‘Lord, do you mean this parable for us, or for everyone?’ The Lord replied, ‘Who, then, is the wise and trustworthy steward whom the master will place over his household to give them at the proper time their allowance of food? Blessed that servant if his master’s arrival finds him doing exactly that. I tell you truly, he will put him in charge of everything that he owns. But if the servant says to himself, "My master is taking his time coming," and sets about beating the menservants and the servant–girls, and eating and drinking and getting drunk, his master will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not know. The master will cut him off and send him to the same fate as the unfaithful. 

    ‘The servant who knows what his master wants, but has got nothing ready and done nothing in accord with those wishes, will be given a great many strokes of the lash. The one who did not know, but has acted in such a way that he deserves a beating, will be given fewer strokes. When someone is given a great deal, a great deal will be demanded of that person; when someone is entrusted with a great deal, of that person even more will be expected.

Messenger:             Oh God the night long I wait on
                            You. Though the angel of death knock
                            at my door, I stay fixed on your
                            light within my soul.

                                Oh God let your light shine —
                                Let my eyes fill with the bright
                                    light of your sun —
                                May my heart glow with warm
                                    embers of love found from
                                    you dwelling within me.
                                My heart yearns and pines for your
                                    presence Lord —
                                I ponder your gifts the night long and
                                    long for your glory by day —
                                I want my soul to be wrapped in the
                                    victory of Your sweetness —
                                An enemy may lurk at my door
                                    and your sword of light
                                    bids me to guard the door
                                    of my heart with that sword.
                                Oh that your light would shine
                                    on the paths of all men
                                    inhabiting the earth.
                                Oh that the rapture of Your
                                    embrace would be ever
                                    before them.

                            So many senselessly walk paths
                                of injustice and
                                revel in the desire of a
                                selfish heart and
                                before them always is the
                                    light of your Sacred Heart,
                                    shining as a beacon of
                                    light and love and yet
                                They do not see the Heart of the
                                    Savior.

                            A poison apple hangs on the tree
                                before their face and they reach
                                out and pick it day long.

                            Oh that the paths to Your Heart
                                were followed and
                                justice was in the heart of many.

                            Oh Hearts of Jesus and Mary, light
                                a garden of justice in the
                                hearts of the inflicted —
                                Light the tree with the
                                    apples of justice, that
                                    all that reach — reach with
                                    the conviction of a clean heart.

                            Create in me Oh Lord a clean heart,
                                that I may know You and
                                not be led astray —
                                but when the enemy of justice
                                makes his way to my door —
                                let my sword of Your light
                                be my guard against
                                any injustice.

                            Oh fight for me, my Savior for
                                I long to promote Thy
                                Kingdom and I am naked as a tender
                                baby just born.

                            At the hand of the just man, I give
                                myself, but
                                oh God how weary I feel when
                                the cold hands of injustice
                                grip this world like it
                                is an oppressed man unable
                                to defend oneself.

                            Why do they act so powerless
                                against evil, as if they owe
                                indebtedness to it, but
                                they follow like lost
                                sheep God —
                                sheep going into a pit —
                                one, then another and another —

                            Oh God of justice care for the
                                vine and give me weapons to
                                fight this fight of injustice
                                in the world.

                                Oh Sacred Divine God my
                                trust is in Thee and I beg
                                for your help against a
                                world which is the food
                                of many evil serpents.

                            Oh God impart to us the food for
                                the living —

                            Oh God impart to us the funds to
                                be able to feed the hungry
                                souls with your words of
                                love and direction.

                            By night we cried beneath a
                                sycamore tree as we gazed
                                at the black sky and wanted
                                to see the light of the stars,
                                but the stars were hidden and
                                the night was a black sheet —
                                which seemed was impenetrable.

                            Where did the lunar lights of heaven
                                go when I sought You and
                                I heard a voice speak to me —

                            Oh a night richly blessed has
                                been covered by the fog of
                                the sin of the men of the
                                earth —

                            And I cried for mercy and begged
                                that God look at the few just
                                who still inhabit the earth and
                                He called to me and said

Jesus speaks:     A measure of flour was given for their
                                bread —
                                A Savior given as the food for their
                                    salvation and
                                Like the woman who appeared they
                                    crushed her head and cut off
                                    the hands of the men serving
                                    the dish of the Savior.

                            Why do I look to the earth —
                                day long — only to watch
                                the innocent be slaughtered
                                by your selfish, pleasure
                                seeking ways —

                            I will wipe away the smiles
                                of those seeking senseless
                                glory and will sit as the King on My
                                Throne —

                            They have put Me in the corner —
                                let the Churches with the
                                laity - because you failed
                                to pray when I asked you in
                                these urgent times — 
                                (Jesus asked us to pray for the priests 
                                and people didn't pray for the priests 
                                and now many parishes don't have 
                                any priests there.)

Jesus continues:     10 years now since I sent you
                                this message

Jesus speaks:     Will the people help you, or will
                                I cry, but one last time to
                                watch your million dollar mansions
                                in 3 states and the grandbabies
                                never know grandma and grandpa —
                                they live as if they will never
                                die.

                            Life for many has begun at 60 and
                                the two children they had were
                                long gone — so now money is
                                spent on every days pleasure and
                                every day is a vacation and a
                                glorified prom —

                            The ball — never ends — it goes on
                                endlessly
—

                            Home baked pies have been replaced
                                by bowling balls, golf balls
                                and days on the boat and
                                lunch on the beach of fancy
                                restaurants.

                            When My Mother appeared in the
                                sunny state of Florida you
                                washed your hands and went
                                out on your yacht — only to
                                hear of 9-11, but that barely
                                shook your earth so far away.

                            In one corner appeared the Lady of
                                Fatima in the Americas and in
                                another corner, the statue of Liberty
                                shook from her roots in the ground
                                as she watched how freedom was
                                that day. A man went to work in
                                a tall office building and was
                                soon buried beneath the earth.

                            Oh she comes and she appeared, but
                                the message from God she delivered
                                was ignored. Why even look at
                                her —
                                Did you ever see such a resemblance
                                to Our Lady of Guadalupe —
                                You believed that instantly —
                                you ignore Our Lady of Clearwater
                                    for 7 years.

    

       

July 28, 2004 message continues

Jesus speaks:     What of justice?

                            You ignore the Lady, God the Father
                                sent and when I sent word to
                                you of her face destroyed you
                                ignored that further.

                            I begged you to listen, but no one
                                even reaches into their pockets
                                to help.

                            Oh people how long the Lady cried
                                before the 9-11 for rosary beads
                                for the schools and you wouldn't
                                listen.

Mary's Message
from the Rosary of August 27, 1996

Mary speaks:  I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my Heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My Heart, my children, my Heart to watch my Son, but my Heart, my Heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my Heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.

Pray For The Success Of The Priestly Newsletter - Shepherds of Christ

Messenger: The following is the first official message I received before the statue of Mary at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center. It is a personal message for Father Carter.

Mary speaks: (in front of the glowing statue of Our Lady of Sorrows) I am the Immaculate Heart. My Heart is glowing for love of all my beloved children. I am your most loving Mother. I am with you this day. Pray for the success of the priestly newsletter Shepherds of Christ. I am guarding your way. You will receive such graces to accomplish this task! Grace from God is so abundantly bestowed on you and will lead to the success of this endeavor! Pray for this cause at the Center. The priests will lead the people to the love of My beloved Son. This is no little task. It will take many prayers and graces. Pray hard, little one. Your prayers will change many hearts.

I am Mary, your Immaculate Mother. I bring this message to My beloved priest-son.

                                God asks me to love.

Jesus speaks:         Others violate others boundaries.
                                I am a God of justice.
                                Pray to the Holy Spirit to enlighten you.
                                Some people are caught up in pride and
                                    jealousy. Some are selfish — these
                                    things, faults, are hidden in the human
                                    person many times.

                                Deep beneath the surface lurks the hidden
                                    motives for acting.

                                I come that the world will be one.

                                Some people are so jealous they do not want
                                    a human person to be above them —

                                Some saints have reported how their own
                                    sisters and community members
                                    treated them because of their gifts,
                                    it was not holy.

                                Some people do not want a woman over them and
                                    refuse to recognize Mary in her vital
                                    role as Immaculate Virgin, conceived
                                    without sin, spotless virgin.

                                There is jealousy in ways people may act toward Mary,
                                    toward their brothers, children can
                                    rise against a parent in order to be
                                    on top.

                                What is needed is the desire of the souls to
                                    serve God in the structure He has
                                    given and desires.

                                In today's age where so much sin is committed
                                    against the flesh — you can see how
                                    My holy religious who take a vow
                                    of celibacy please Me so much.

                                In these days when so many children try
                                    to be over their parents, priests may
                                    not obey superiors, children in schools
                                    try to rule over the superiors, people
                                    rise up over the priest of the parish —
                                    in these days where authority is threatened
                                    by those underneath motivated by
                                    pride and greed, you can see how
                                    children who honor their parents, priests
                                    who obey their superiors, religious who
                                    subject themselves willingly to obedience,
                                    please Me.

                                    I was beaten during My bitter passion
                                because of the sins of the flesh. My Body
                                was raw and bleeding. My thoughts
                                were of My religious who have given
                                themselves to Me in a life of purity.
                                When the whip hit My Body — the sweetness
                                of My holy celibate spouse was a balm
                                    of joy to My anguishing
                                    Heart in that hour.

                                    Your commitment to Me in holy love will
                                NEVER GO UNREWARDED.

                                    My head was crowned for the sins of
                                envy and pride and the ill thoughts of
                                others against their brothers.

                                    My body beaten, My head crowned, I
                                sweet Blood. I give you little crosses,
                                I allow you to suffer little trials.

                                    A man was dying — in that stage
                                he had to embrace the reality of his
                                condition.

                                    There are so many souls living
                                in deadly sin and fail to embrace
                                the reality of their condition. You
                                pray in the prayers I have given for
                                grace for the hungry souls of the
                                earth —

                                    the ones starving to death — going
                                from senseless pleasure to senseless
                                pleasure.

                                    A lady knew a tremendous
                                trial — she was put in a position where
                                she felt tremendous loss of power —

                                    As a result she tried to get power
                                in other places, positions with other
                                people.

                                    People who are oppressed at work
                                often hurt others in their personal
                                relationships trying to re-coop the power
                                they feel they have lost. It may be very
                                hidden to them, but at work, they must
                                say yes and do exactly what the boss
                                wants, when they come home they may
                                be controlling to get back the power
                                they feel they have lost at work. Some
                                people have deeply committed to themselves
                                they will never be under anyone — then
                                they are discontent at work, possibly,
                                and then take charge of someone - working
                                out their oppressed feelings somewhere
                                else.

                                    People in divorces who have lost
                                control of their children for one reason
                                or another may be very hard to be with
                                because at no specific time they may come
                                down on someone else to get power
                                in all kinds of ways.

                                    People that are angry inside from
                                past relationships, disappointments in
                                jobs — need to work through a period
                                of recovery — admitting the truth to
                                themselves and working through the
                                pain in a healthy way until they
                                have been able to go in the direction
                                of a healing process.

                                    People who consistently hurt others
                                for little or nothing done to them are
                                usually acting out "old-stuffed-pain",
                                they may be sick or have a current
                                difficult problem, but life long patterns
                                of inflicting pain on others usually
                                comes from some past pain that has
                                not been brought to light in their
                                own mind and then them dealing
                                with it in a healthy healing process.

                                    The loss of an intimate other may
                                take years to heal, but the healing process
                                is within the person and no matter
                                how gradual, it is not self-consuming
                                for years and does not inflict pain
                                on innocent others.

                                    A person undergoing a separation,
                                divorce, loss of custody — must —
                                if they cannot change things — accept
                                things and work through the grief.

                                    Anger eats at a person. Even if
                                a drunk driver kills someone's
                                child, the parent, must go
                                through a healing process.

                                    Angry persons are eating at their
                                own heart. Oppression experienced
                                from long ago, but still held in
                                the heart in bitterness, must be
                                addressed.

                                    I call you to be sensitive and
                                loving and there is a process of
                                healing hurts (like a close friend
                                that died) like the healing of cuts and
                                bruises. It takes time, but the healing
                                must be going in a health-healing
                                way.

                                    An infected leg can be the very
                                reason a leg must be removed.
                                What of the person who carries years
                                of anger, hatred for people in
                                authority, bitterness for past oppression
                                how will they deal with this
                                blustering infection and does a
                                blustering, infected wound go away
                                usually without addressing the issue.

                                Mary had an infected leg, soon the
                                    leg swelled, she saw streaks
                                    on her leg — she had to recognize
                                    the problem — the infection was
                                    spreading in her body.

                                Joan had a bad tooth ache — her
                                    tooth ache needed immediate
                                    attention.

                                Sometimes people, drink, drug, eat
                                    to numb pain. Eventually that
                                    cure does not work for it
                                    is only a temporary suppression
                                    of the pain. They can become
                                    an alcoholic, a drug-addict or
                                    obese if they don't realize they
                                    "use" for the hidden pain within.

                                    There once was a saying 4 get
                                married (not two). The marriage of
                                two people come enormously
                                from their family background.
                                Parents of those getting married are
                                definite factors in the new marriage
                                union.

                                    Many times children don't want
                                help from their parents with their emotional
                                problems, but looking at their parent's ways
                                may help someone understand themselves.

                                    If all was business and people
                                didn't work on intimate relationships
                                of loving with others — the mechanics
                                of it all can seem successful, but a
                                successful businessman, may not
                                be able to have a HEALTHY intimate relationship
                                with anyone. What is life if there
                                is not love from the heart? You were
                                created to love.

                                    Love to some seems to be — romantic —
                                teaching love.

                                    Love is sacrifice, giving, understanding,
                                forgiving, wanting My will above
                                all things and living to promote My
                                Kingdom.

                                    I give you a life-time to learn
                                how to love.

                                    Love is the issue.
                                    Relationships according to God's will.
                                    Giving — taking — praying —
                                        allowing My grace to permeate
                                        your lives.

                                    Being God centered.
                                    Recognizing faults — striving to be
                                        more perfect like your Heavenly
                                        Father is perfect.

                                    I am the Bridegroom of your
                                soul. I want a spousal relationship
                                with My precious souls.

    

A Prayer for Intimacy with the Lamb, 
the Bridegroom of the Soul

     Oh Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, come and act on my soul most intimately. I surrender myself, as I ask for the grace to let go, to just be as I exist in You and You act most intimately on my soul. You are the Initiator. I am the soul waiting Your favors as You act in me. I love You. I adore You. I worship You. Come and possess my soul with Your Divine Grace, as I experience You most intimately.

Jesus speaks:         Give yourself to Me.

    

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

       

  

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus 
and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."
