Messenger: Dear People,
                               
We need protection for the glass in
                           
Florida, Jesus' face, I have done all
                           
that I can to do this. We have 24 hour
                           
surveillance under the image.
                               
We watch the News and sordid
                           
trials about sexual encounters play over and
                           
over again and little attention or none has 
                           
been given to the fact the Blessed Mother
                           
appeared there for 7 years then her
                           
face was shot out.

Messenger:        
Now Jesus' face appears and
                               
who will help us protect it.
                               
We struggle so each month for
                               
the building payment, it took
                               
until the 15th of the month last
                               
month.
                           
People can say we never protected
                               
Mary's image that's why it was
                               
broken in, but who has helped
                               
us to protect it or even helped with
                               
the monthly payment?
                           
We sent the Priestly Newsletter 6
                               
times a year to priests all over
                               
the world for 6½ years
                           
Our regular distribution was
                               
75,000 priests, centered
                               
in Consecration to the Hearts
                               
of Jesus and Mary.
                           
Then for three years we sent more —
                               
the Priestly Newsletter Book II —
                               
2 Newsletters —
                               
Spirituality Handbook and novena
                                   
of Masses and the Prayer Manual.
Messenger: Jesus gave His all.
                           
Jesus, the Son of God, came to this earth a helpless
                               
baby, in the womb of a human person.
                               
God gave Himself — He gave His all
                                   
to His death on the cross.
He was buried in a tomb.
                           
Jesus is the Son of God, He could have stopped it at
                               
any moment. He could have stopped
                               
the beatings. They put a dirty purple
                               
robe on His bleeding wounds, it stuck
                               
to the wounds.
                               
Did you ever have anyone spit on you?
                               
What a despicable thing to do to the Son of God.
                               
When one gives more and more in a relationship,
                                   
lots of times others give less and less.
Jesus speaks:         
A man was given two talents — He
                           
buried them.
                               
I give you gifts. I am the all merciful
                           
God. I showed you how I loved you —
                           
I came to this earth, a baby, I
                           
was beaten, My flesh was torn, I
                           
allowed them to put Me to death.
  
                                       
Death -- Resurrection
  
                           
Mary married Mike and everyday she
                               
cleaned the house and made
                               
wonderful meals, she loved Mike,
                               
she wanted to make him happy,
                               
she wanted to give him a good
                               
home.
                               
The more Mary gave, the more Mike
                                   
backed up because of his
                                   
dysfunctional ways.
                               
He began not coming home at
                                   
night for dinner and said
                                   
hateful things to build a big
                                   
wall between him and
                                   
Mary Ann.
                               
He was so wounded he wouldn't
                                   
let anyone give anything to
                                   
him and more than that
                                   
Mike wanted to do what he
                                   
wanted — he never married
                                   
Mary Ann to be close and love her.
                                   
He did it for himself.
                               
Carol married Carl, Carol likewise
                                   
wanted to make Carl happy —
                                   
She did many things for him
                                   
Carl did many things for her
                                   
and they shared intimate love.
                                   
When the children were born they
                                   
learned how to give and take
                                   
and learned how to love.
                               
Some people because of wounded
                                   
relationships back up more and
                                   
more allowing the other to
                                   
work harder and harder while they
                                   
sit back as the superior partner,
                                   
never sharing, ready to run if
                                   
they want to. Because someone
                                   
"burned" them in a relationship they
                                   
continue burning others day
                                   
after day because their lack of
                                   
trust.
                               
They are wounded. They don't focus
                                   
on the love I give them. They
                                   
measure their actions giving
                                   
out very little — only what they
                                   
can get away with because
                                   
they don't have the strength
                                   
of My love deeply embedded
                                   
in their soul. They give little
                                   
time and energy — they are in
                                   
it for themselves. They really
                                   
know little of real love —
                               
This is the mode of many today —
                                   
"get all I can for me" — (they think)
                                   
give as little as I can for you —
                                   
and sit back in the place of
                                   
power — Everything is focused on
themselves
                                   
and their glory.
                               
Because you give little of
                                   
yourselves — really give —
                                   
little is really experienced —
                               
How do you know about love?
                                   
Study how I loved.
                                   
I came to the earth, the Son of
                                   
God, I gave My all for you
                                   
for the sake of souls.
                               
The Shepherds of Christ, the Church,
                                   
the family will be tremendously
                                   
successful depending on your
                                   
heartfelt commitment.
                               
I have watched people use My Movement,
                                   
the gifts I have given and give
                                   
nothing back to help Me spread
                                   
My words of love in God's
                                   
Blue Book to the world.
                               
Even those in the Movement that run
                                   
it, their attitude can be what is
                                   
in it for me and fail to commit
                                   
or help out.
                               
The more I have given through the
                                   
daily apparitions July 5, 1994 —
                                   
September 5, 1995 — the 7 years of Mary
                                   
on the building in Clearwater — the more
                                   
I am ignored.
                                   
Literally who will even help
                               
protect My face or help with the
                               
bills.
                                   
I give you so many gifts —
                                   
I give you Myself in the Eucharist
                                       
every day —
                                   
Fewer and Fewer Churches will stay
                                       
open unless you listen to what
                                       
I have told you.
                                       
I gave these prayers to Fr. Carter
                                           
ten years ago.
                               
This is My Movement to help renew the Church and
                                   
the world.
                                   
Since, your world has under gone
                                       
large amounts of destruction to
                                       
the Church because of the
                                       
sex scandal. Prayer
                                       
manuals were 15 cents the devil
                                       
has blocked My prayers from
                                       
Churches all over the world by
                                       
people removing the prayer manuals
                                       
given from My Sacred Heart
                                       
filled with love for souls to
                                       
the world.
                                   
You have ignored Me —
                                   
You have treated My face on the window
                                       
like nothing —
                                   
You know the story of Mary Ann and
                                       
Mike —
                                       
she made his dinner —
                                       
she did sweet things for him
                                       
and he treated her mean.
                               
My Mother was permitted to appear for
                                   
7 years on the building in Clearwater —
                                   
you have tested your God —
                               
You give little and take more and more.
                               
You could help with the Rosaries to the
                                   
Schools as My Mother has
                                   
requested appearing a decade,
                                       
but many do not —
                                   
Or visit the Nursing homes —
                                       
Many assisted living could
                                           
make rosaries —
                                       
School children could make
                                           
rosaries —
                               
I give you this message from your
                                   
mother —
                                   
"Unless a sufficient number of people
                                       
have consecrated their hearts to
                                       
the Hearts of Jesus and Mary you
                                       
won't have peace in the
                                       
world."
                               
Many have buried their talents — they
                                   
spend their time on their yards
                                   
their diets, their workouts but
                                   
fail to even pray a rosary a day
                                   
or go to Mass.
Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje
July 13, 1917
"During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:
"You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.
"The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)
"To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....
"But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." (13)

Jesus speaks:         
I grow tired — I watch the money spent
                                   
on law suits and I have appeared
                                   
to give you My Prayers in the
                                   
Prayer Manual.

Jesus speaks:         
Talk about blindness —
                                   
Those I have called have taken and taken
                                       
and many are selfish in their hearts —
                                       
Many do not do it for love —
                                       
Many could not be moved —
Satan is a seducer —
I call My brides for these end times —
                               
I call a Church filled with love for
                                   
My Sacred Heart, but you can't
                                   
get out of yourself —
                               
I call My bride to purity
                                   
to wear a white dress —
Revelation 21: 1-2
The heavenly Jerusalem
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride dressed for her husband.

Jesus speaks:         
Satan has you tied like a mummy and
                                   
you are jumping around —
                               
Some are worse than the blind man —
                                   
Do you have energy in your heart and
                                       
love to deliver My Message —
                                   
A baby takes a bottle and cries
                                       
and screams to be fed and
                                       
changed.
                                   
How can My work be done with
                                       
babies? Some have given into satan's
                                       
seductive ways to get you tied up.
                                   
My Mother appeared 7 years
                                       
every day and My "holy ones"
                                       
complained and complained under
                                       
her image. Some fought.
I am God —
I have called My brides —
                               
Satan has taken you aside to seduce
                                   
you.
                               
Out of all the people on the earth I
                                   
have called you to be a people
                                   
of love and deliver this message
                                   
of love.
                               
Carol gave love to her husband Carl —
                                   
Carl loved her in return.
                               
I give love to you, many take it
                                   
and don't give anything back
                                   
so others can share the gifts I
                                   
have imparted to them.
                               
I want you to do what I have asked
                                   
for not go off and do something
                                   
I didn't ask for.
Praying the prayers daily —
Attending daily Mass —
                               
Lovingly telling the priest about the
                                   
prayer manual and how it
                                   
has helped you and so many
                                   
Churches.
How is your heart?
Is it pure?
                               
Are your intentions for pride or to do
                                   
what I ask for? Are you like a bride that
                                   
lives to please her husband?
                               
Is your commitment to get more for
                                   
yourself or you don't commit —
                                   
the attitude "what's in it for me,
                                       
for my glory"
                               
Beautiful churches are closing —
                                   
You have fewer and fewer priests —
                                   
You have fewer and fewer Masses —
                                   
IT WILL GET WORSE UNLESS YOU LISTEN TO ME
                                   
I give you My Movement at the
                                       
end of the 2nd Millennium —
                                   
My Mother appears for 7 years
                                       
on a busy corner
She gives you so many gifts.
                                   
Here is how she appeared all
                                       
the 5ths.

Jesus speaks:         
And now I appear —
                                       
Even the people at My site
                                       
sometimes have little energy
                                       
to tell My precious souls about
                                       
My Blue Book writings —
                                   
You are tired —
                                   
Well if you don't do much then
                                       
nobody will — and satan
                                       
knows it so he presses
                                       
on you.
                                   
"Oh I am so tired"
                                   
"Oh I will do it tomorrow"
                               
You have been given great grace.
                               
Heaven has contacted earth.
                               
You are asked to deliver My message —
                               
You are asked to do it the way
                                   
I asked you.
                               
Satan is the seducer —
                                   
he wants you filled with pride —
                                   
he wants you filled with jealousy
                                   
he wants you filled with selfishness.
                               
Some people are like a stubborn
                                   
mule — if it isn't their idea
                                   
they would never do it —
                               
some have impurity of intention —
                                   
they ask themselves over and over
                                   
again "what is in it for me."
                           
Remember the "3 classes of men" from St. Ignatius
                               
Spiritual Exercises
                               
I ask you to do specific things —
                                   
spread the prayer manuals
                                   
do the prayers in the prayer manuals
                                   
help support the Priestly Newsletter
                                   
pray for all the intentions of the Movement
                                   
discern the spirits — don't do things
                                       
I don't tell you to do with
                                       
Shepherds of Christ Materials
                                   
begin prayer chapters
                                   
spread the Blue Books
                                   
Ask for donations
                                   
Help with the school rosary program
                                   
attend daily Mass
                                   
spread the materials
                                   
have a pure attitude for doing it
                                   
pray for souls
                                   
do what I am calling you to do.
                                   
Commit with love in your heart —
                                       
get rid of the attitude
                                       
"What's in it for me"
                                   
Some get false messages and act
                                       
on them.
                                   
Spiritual direction is needed to
                                       
discern if it is the evil one
                                       
acting or the good Spirit.
                                   
Please do not act on any messages
                                       
for the Shepherds of Christ that are not
                                       
given to My Messenger
                                       
Rita Ring.
                                   
Rita Ring is My only messenger for the
                                       
Shepherds of Christ Movement.
                                   
So many messages have been given
                                       
to follow.
                                   
Donations are needed —
                                       
— big donations to do this work
                                       
— to make the building payment —
                                       
— to secure the window where
