R. The Transforming Union is
when the Holy Spirit works so
powerfully in the soul – transforming
them in tremendous oneness
with God –
This takes place when one is
in love with the will of the
Heavenly Father, the soul has
had these experiences of this
Divine union and knowing
in these – the tremendous gift
of this Divine union and
experiencing God's Divine Love
most profoundly – the soul
shows in their actions the
likeness of Jesus –
to be called 'another Jesus', for
the reflection of the Divine
God – so intimately united in
the soul of the transformed
person –
God has called us to be
tender and loving in our
ways and Mary appearing is
teaching us that we are to be spiritual
mothers to others because of the
sensitive, loving, genuine,
and kind hearts – like Mary
who is our spiritual Mother and
teaches us and leads us to Jesus.
In John's Gospel we hear
from Jesus – that the Spirit of Truth
would teach us. God is absolute
truth – so it should be our
burning desire to bring no deception
to others, but to live in the truth
always, to embrace the truth –
even in suffering –
The body is a package and we were
given this – how we look, how
tall we are etc.
But God looks at the heart, the
heart is to be in the image and
likeness of Jesus' Heart. Jesus
is God. God is love. The Heart of
Jesus is Perfect and Pure Infinite Love.
The Scripture tells us to be perfect
as Our Heavenly Father is perfect.
We must pray to the Holy Spirit to
possess our souls, because it
is the Holy Spirit working in union with
Mary, like an artist that forms
the image of Jesus more and more
in us –
Giving our will to God in
surrender is how we prepare
our hearts for this Divine
transformation. Surrender is
essential – to make God the
Master of us and to want
the Holy Spirit to possess our souls
and move in us in His Divine
Breathe –
Many men focus on their work
and their power and their control
and in so doing close themselves
to God working in them, using
them, operating in them, like
a Divine breathe – like the wind,
one does not see and yet it can
be so powerful to move a
chair, a table, a house –
Do you see the picture when
the Holy Spirit came in tongues of fire
on the Apostles and Mary and
there was a gigantic wind?
The Apostles were afraid before
this – then they were fearless.
The Holy Spirit working in a soul is
transforming, it is powerful,
it can be so immense as
the Holy Spirit comes and fills a soul
with His gifts and fills a
soul with love.
The soul must be open –
seeking purity in heart, seeking
God's will and living in the
truth – wanting to be truthful –
not deceiving, or full of unforgiveness,
or full of self, or pride, or anger,
or jealousy, or envy and/or uncontrolled
and undisciplined in spiritual
matters.
The Love of God is infinite,
unfathomable, encompassing,
and driving out the fear of
one afraid to let go and
commit to one's calling by God
for their vocation in life.
The soul is moved to increase in
the virtues received in baptism
by this touch of the Holy Spirit.
God elevates our knowing and loving
capacity in baptism to know
and love on a supernatural
level, but we must prepare
our hearts, discipline our
minds and hearts for such
a transformation.
The man held in the grip of
his unruly heart will not be
moved by the Holy Spirit for they have
closed themselves off to rigidity
and their own control.
God is light and in Him is no
darkness. Like a stained glass
window – at night and without
light it appears very dark.
When I first went to Clearwater
March, 1997 to see the image –
I went to the window when it
was dark and I saw nothing until
the next day.
That is why it is such a gift
that Mary appeared as she did
on the 5ths when I was
praying under the image –

R. God is light and He reads the
heart and soul, when a person
clutches pride and anger, acts -
out in ways from wounds of
the past – blocking their call by
God to engage in self-indulgence,
punishment, deception and
lies – how could they think
such darkness could bring
joy to them? Sin mars the
soul and when we stay steeped
in pride and anger and envy
and jealousy, unruly indulgence,
we close our hearts to God –
to loving God as He deserves
and loving others as Jesus
commands us to do –
God is close to those who
are sorry for their sins and
work, in honesty, to tell the
truth about ruptures in
relationships because of
sin – offending God and
hurting others.
Sin mars the soul,
sin stains the soul –
Our lives are given to grow
in relationships – to make-up
for offenses against God and
others
to live in peace and harmony,
not be unaccountable and
unresponsible before God and
to others for offenses that
are committed.
God has put us here to
serve Him – to have unity –
to make up in relationships –
to obey authority – to live in
truth – to work with others
God intends us to work with.
The Holy Spirit brings Divine
fruitfulness to the soul. The
soul filled with the Holy Spirit brings
unity to all they touch, brings
growth in building of the Kingdom of God,
is full of love, sees the Father's
will and loves it, has hope
for their eternal salvation and
the salvation of souls –
I have heard the voice of the
Father
"This is My beloved Son in
whom I am well pleased."
Jesus took them up Mt. Tabor
and He was transformed before
them and the voice of the
Father was heard
"This is My beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased -
Listen to Him."
We are here to one day enjoy the
Divine Embrace of Father, Son and Holy
Spirit in the beatific vision in heaven.
We are to prepare for this –
Heaven is a reward given
for loving and serving God.
God calls us and we have
a free will. It is our response
to God's call.
We pray to the Holy Spirit to possess
our soul – We must surrender
to God – to be obedient to
just authority if a religious
person living the consecrated life –
Obedience to the Commandments –
Live by the Word of God –
Obey the Church
The Holy Spirit stays in us all day –
24 hours a day!
Grace divinizes the soul!
The Holy Spirit outpours in the
soul an increase in virtues
and His gifts.
God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit
dwell in the graced baptized soul.
The Holy Spirit makes us holy, holy souls if
we are open and asking to be possessed
by God.
The Holy Spirit wants to mold us more and
more in the image of Jesus.
We are consistent – not in-out,
but constant and co-operating
with this gift of grace –
We open our soul to God –
We surrender our will to God –
We beg for grace –
We ask to be possessed by God and
we let go!
God lifts us up –
He possesses us with His gifts –
Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel,
Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety
and Fear of the Lord
We are like a soul ready to
be filled by God and molded
in the image of Jesus. Jesus
is in us.
God gives us inspiration and
light to see in love through
the Father's will for us –
Today's first reading
Zechariah 8: 1-8
The word of Yahweh Sabaoth came as follows:Yahweh Sabaoth says this:
I have been burning
with jealousy for Zion,
with furious jealousy for her sake.Yahweh says this:
I am coming back to Zion
and shall live in the heart of Jerusalem.
Jerusalem will be called Faithful City
and the mountain of Yahweh Sabaoth,
the Holy Mountain.Yahweh Sabaoth says this:
Aged men and women once again will sit
in the squares of Jerusalem,
each with a stick to lean on
because of their great age.
And the squares of the city will be full
of boys and girls
playing there.Yahweh Sabaoth says this:
If this seems a miracle
to the remnant of this people
(in those days),
will it seem one to me?
declares Yahweh.Yahweh Sabaoth says this:
Look, I shall rescue my people
from the countries of the east
and from the countries of the west.
I shall bring them back
to live in the heart of Jerusalem,
and they will be my people
and I shall be their God,
faithful and just.
R. Justice – Justice means I am filled
with gratitude for what has been
given to me and I recognize
that I have been called to give
back during my life – for what
has been given to me –
How did we get to this wonderful land
of the United States – Who fought
the wars and lost their lives
for us to be given such freedom
as we have in the United States of
America –
There were wars, there were people
who suffered coming over on boats,
there was the forming of the States,
there were men in battle who left
wives and children and fought
to make this Country the United
States of America.
R. Yes men gave, families suffered –
men going into battle on land
with guns and cannons – one
by one sacrifices to secure the
boarders – to have peace –
men who wanted truth –
men who relied on truth and liberty
and justice –
leadership –
love –
Now Mary gave us a great gift appearing
at Fatima and warning us of World War II –
From Fatima Peace Plan — Tan Books p.4-5.

THE CHILDREN SEE HELL
As she spoke these words, Our Lady stretched out her hands, and bright rays came forth which seemed to penetrate into the earth. All at once the ground vanished, and the children found themselves standing on the brink of a sea of fire. As they peered into this dreadful place, the terrified youngsters saw huge numbers of devils and damned souls. The devils resembled hideous black animals, each filling the air with despairing shrieks. The damned souls were in their human bodies and seemed to be brown in color, tumbling about constantly in the flames and screaming with terror. All were on fire within and without their bodies, and neither devils nor damned souls seemed able to control their movements. They were tossing about in the flames like fiery coals in a furnace. There was never an instant's peace or freedom from pain.
Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima
by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.
July 13, 1917
"During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." (11)
"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)
11. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to
Our Lady of Fatima's Peace Plan from Heaven (Rockford: TAN
Books and Publishers, Inc., 1983). pp.3-4.

R. Mary appeared at Fatima and they did
not listen to Mary and there was

R. She delivered a message for the world.
I have done all I can to deliver her
messages.
I saw her in Clearwater 3 weeks
ago praying with us on September 5th –
All I can do is deliver the message like
Jeremiah –
Justice is a virtue –
Giving to God what is His due –
God owns the earth –
We will lose the space we
guard in fear
God has called us to spread the
prayers to the far ends
of the earth –
I have tried to do this since
1994 – 21 years –
Please help me –
We owe to the world to give back
for what has been given to us –
to leave a legacy for the
future generations –
the saints paid for the gift
we have been given
spiritually with their
lives –
In baptism we were commissioned
to go out and spread the Good
News
Our lives will not die when we
die –
we will move on, but we
must have obeyed God
and given back in love
and kindness and justice
to have a heavenly
reward
God is all just –
Jesus says: To those much have
been given, much is
expected. I am a God of
Justice.
Song: I Am a God of Justice
Zechariah 8: 7-8

Sorrowful Mysteries
The Crowning With Thorns (excerpt)
9. Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son and my heart was in such anguish for my little children today. Oh do you see the children that are murdered in the womb, the babies that God the Father created, do you see my people? God the Father has allowed me to appear to you to ask you to pray. Do you see the gift in that, the power of the prayer, the truth that I bring to you, that God is with you now, that I am with you, by your side and you turn your back, many times, for your pity-pots. I am just so sad, after being taught all these years about the Mass and the prayers and appearing for 21 years, listen to me!! As your Heavenly Mother, I appear, I appear, I appear and I am ignored.
R. You are more attentive to your ants and flies. This is a message that I received from Jesus today. Where is our focus if it is not on Jesus? I can venture it say it's certainly is on ourselves, and habits become bad habits, when we are jealous or envious or we try to hurt the work that God is bringing to this earth, such as our messages of Our Lady of Fatima. For there are millions of babies that are not only being killed in abortion in the United States, but are being tortured, dissected. Don't you just feel sick to your guts? 21 years I have seen the Mother of God appear and I have begged people to listen. And when the sign was given in Clearwater, is that not enough to believe this message that she gives, that is calling for a response to love, to the calling that God has given, to pray ever more fervently, to be more pure in our hearts, to unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, to have the faith that I know will make a difference in this world. Where is your emotion?
Open up the window to the Holy Spirit that the strength can be there for us. We are members of the mystical body of Christ, members of the Shepherds of Christ Ministry, united in the Masses and believing in the power, of the prayer that God has taught us about all these years. I believe, I believe, I believe!
10. Sing: Come to me Lord and Possess my Soul
R. Thank You God, thank You for these tremendous gifts, that You have given to help us to know this insight into the Divine mystery and to be so close in friendship with You, to know the power of prayer, to know Your mercy, to love the Mass, to know that feeding from the Eucharist, that is just such a gift. To know the presence of Jesus Christ truly present in this Church in China, Indiana, our Eucharistic Center, and center of this world, as we have spread 300,000 of Fr. Joe's books, 17,000,000 of the Priestly Newsletters. But do you know what is in my heart, as the gift that God has given in the Eucharist exposed here? We need adorers! Since Betty died – is it going to die with Betty?
This Movement is to go on, after Fr. Carter died, after I die, after you die. It's not a personal thing. It's a Movement in which there are people that are so deeply one with God, that they are living greater and holier lives and they will love, as Christ loved His precious souls that they are praying for the priests, and the Church and the world. Get out of your boxes! For God's sake, for He is calling and I am telling you the message today. We need adorers in China, at least during the day. I don't know how I am going to get out Fr. Joe's book.
The vision is the vision of the Father, that there would be Eucharistic adoration before the Exposed Eucharist in this church. Tell your friends, spend 2 hours a month, spend 4 hours a month, commit yourself to this, and you will be blessed. The more we give to Him, His generosity is never outdone. Pray for this. If you can't be here, if somebody can give a couple hours a week, it makes a big different. I have been saying this for 3 solid months, and before Betty even died. He said to us for six weeks, while people went their willy-nilly ways, He said when they are gone you are going to miss it. I heard that for six weeks.
So on June the 13th, and that is the last 13th that I have been here, because I got burned on August the 7th, starting to talk to Sheila about adorers, and I was in the house for 5 weeks. And the month before I had to go away on a business thing. But on that June the 13th, I'll tell you what happened. Betty has back there, and I went over to the Community Building because He told me to, and He said sit next to Betty, and Jerry's family was there, and they come all the way from Iowa, and I said to myself, okay, I'm going to sit next to Betty. And I sat next to Betty and John sat on the other side and so then I talked to Betty and I said to Betty, she is like a saint. I said to her, I said, "Well how are you feeling?" And she had this one cheek that went up, and I thought I never saw Betty do that. But she was so good. And she said, "oh, you know, not bad." And she died, within, I don't know – this was at 5 or 5:30 pm and she probably died like at 2 am, so He waited until after the 13th. I thought that was very nice of God to let that happen, and it was the Feast of St. Anthony. So, anyway, so that one cheek went up and I thought I never saw Betty do that, but anyway, then I said to her, "Have you been eating?" She said, "Yeah, I eat what I can." It was just – Did she complain? She wasn't like those guys that were, the recipients of the saraph serpents. She wasn't like that at all. She was not complaining. Anyway, she sat there and somebody gave her food, and she ate the food, and as soon as I got up from that table, I lost my voice.
