Messenger: To be one.
The Church is the Body of Christ.
The Trinity is the most perfect
community —
3 Persons, one God — all
perfection and love —
The priest said if we could be united
we, the smallest community
could do so much good.
Look at the Apostles and the
work they did.
Mary, Mother of the Church, spiritual
mother was with these Apostles
as the Church spread.
We are one, holy, Catholic and apostolic —
the Catholic Church.
The Church is the Body of Christ.
Operating in greater perfection and
oneness as the Spouse of
Christ — we can have such
an impact on the world as
Christ operates in His
Church bringing peace and
love to this world.
Because we are the tainted children
of Eve we operate with imperfections
7 Capital Sins
Pride, Greed, Envy, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth
With the pure motive as St. Ignatius
talks about with the 3 classes
of men, we can do all things
as God intends for the honor and
glory of God, serving God in
love, doing God's will.
This is how the community
can operate to greater perfection —
most likened to Christ.
The devil is division — he
wants
to tear up communities, marriages
etc.
Heaven is living in that fullness
of life, wrapped in the embrace
of God's love, experiencing the
beatific vision.
If we ponder the community,
the Trinity, we can model our
communities on such perfect
love!!
Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Father Edward Carter, S.J. pp. 1-2
...God himself is the ultimate mystery. Radically, God is completely other and transcendent, hidden from man in his inner life, unless he chooses to reveal himself. Let us briefly look at this inner life of God.
The Father, in a perfect act of self-expression, in a perfect act of knowing, generates his son. The Son, the Word, is, then, the immanent expression of God's fullness, the reflection of the Father. Likewise, from all eternity, the Father and the Son bring forth the Holy Spirit in a perfect act of loving.
At the destined moment in human history, God's self-expression, the Word, immersed himself into man's world. God's inner self-expression now had also become God's outer self-expression. Consequently, the mystery of God becomes the mystery of Christ. In Christ, God tells us about himself, about his inner life, about his plan of creation and redemption. He tells us how Father, Son, and Holy Spirit desire to dwell within us in the most intimate fashion, how they wish to share with us their own life through grace. All this he has accomplished and does accomplish through Christ. St. Paul tells us: "I became a minister of this Church through the commission God gave me to preach among you his word in its fullness, that mystery hidden from ages and generations past but now revealed to his holy ones. God has willed to make known to them the glory beyond price which this mystery brings to the Gentiles—the mystery of Christ in you, your hope of glory. This is the Christ we proclaim while we admonish all men and teach them in the full measure of wisdom, hoping to make every man complete in Christ" (Col 1:25-28).
The Christian life, then, is rooted in the great event of the Incarnation. We must, consequently, always focus our gaze upon Christ, realizing that everything the Father wishes to tell us has been summed up in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.
Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Father Edward Carter, S.J., pp. 67-68
The millions and millions of people the world over make up what might be called the world community. The members of this cosmic community are supposed to live in a basic love for one another, united in bonds of mutual support and interdependence. This is true because God has created persons as social beings. We are not intended to cut an isolated path through life. We are meant to walk hand in hand with each other, to live within a societal structure, to help others in many different ways. What is more, we must also realize that, in achieving our destiny, we receive much aid, support, and love from others. There are all too many striking examples of how the modern world has failed to live community—more than enough to make us agonize over man's inhumanity toward his fellow human beings. But there are also many beautiful and ongoing examples of how the world has succeeded in living community—enough to strengthen our belief in the basic goodness of the human heart.

Messenger:
What is our gaze in living out the mystery
of Christ and living with Jesus, the
New Adam and Mary the New Eve as our
model.
Our Lady of Fatima told us on July 13,
1917 we must pray the rosary —
In meditating on the mysteries of
Christ's life and Mary's life —
their love —
Jesus, the Divine God and Mary, the
most highest human person —
we see
love between God and man (Mary a
human person) and model our love
relationships on this —
Mary the spiritual mother, Mother
of the Church —
Our focus in becoming as Christ
intends
We note Genesis 1: 27
God created man in the image of himself,
in the image of God he created him,
male and female he created them. Genesis 1: 27
We see the sin of Adam and Eve in the
beginning of the Bible because
of greed and pride — a sin
against
God and fellow men that follow and we
see at the end of the Bible
Revelation 21 —
Revelation 21: 1-8
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. Then I heard a loud voice call from the throne, 'Look, here God lives among human beings. He will make his home among them; they will be his people, and he will be their God, God-with-them. He will wipe away all tears from their eyes; there will be no more death, and no more mourning or sadness or pain. The world of the past has gone.'
Then the One sitting on the throne spoke. 'Look, I am making the whole of creation new. Write this, "What I am saying is trustworthy and will come true."' Then he said to me, 'It has already happened. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give water from the well of life free to anybody who is thirsty; anyone who proves victorious will inherit these things; and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the legacy for cowards, for those who break their word, or worship obscenities, for murderers and the sexually immoral, and for sorcerers, worshippers of false gods or any other sort of liars, is the second death in the burning lake of sulphur.'
January 24, 2006 continues
Messenger: The
Church, the world and the individual
Christian is in the state of becoming.
Christ comes, the redeemer, the Savior
of the world, the New Adam
As Fr. Carter says in the Spirituality Handbook
Into such a depraved condition Jesus entered, with a full and generous Heart, to lead the human race from the depths of sinfulness to the vibrant richness of a new life in Himself. Through His enfleshment, this Christ became the focal point of all history. The authentic hopes and dreams of the human family, now so overshadowed by the ugliness of sin, came converging upon this Christ. He would gather them up in Himself, give them a new luster and brilliance and dynamism, and would lead the human family back to the Father in the Holy Spirit.
Christ was radically to release us from the dominion of sin and elevate us to a new level of existence.
Excerpt from the Spirituality Handbook p. 7

Messenger:
The rosary, Mary says at Fatima
must be said every day as we
meditate on the mysteries of Jesus and
Mary's life — The New
Adam, the
New Eve.
Christ is God —
He is the all perfect God — the
New Adam
Mary, the most highest of God created persons
— the New Eve
Meditating on these mysteries —
we see perfection in their
pure ways of loving each other
and others —
We see the love of the Persons
of the Trinity — as Christ
reveals to us the love of the
Father in the Spirit.
God outpours His insight into the
Divine Mystery of Christ —
His life here — the Divine
God Incarnate in the womb
of the "Woman" — Mary
our
sinless Mother —
We can ponder from the Litany forever
her title "Spiritual Vessel"
Singular Vessel of devotion
Mary the gate (way) of union with God
for sinful man — our spiritual
mother —
She having the most perfect
union with Father, Son and
Holy Spirit
The Litany to the Blessed Mother
honoring her for the 5 Blasphemies
committed against her —
which is why we have
5 first Saturday's
and 5ths when Mary appeared
From the Mass Book p. 168
1. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception.
2. Blasphemies against Her Perpetual Virginity.
3. Blasphemies against Her Divine Maternity, in refusing at the same time to recognize Her as the Mother of men.
4. The blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children indifference or scorn, or even hatred of this Immaculate Mother.
5. The offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images.4646. Frere Michael de la Trinité, The Whole Truth About Fatima, Vol. II, Appendix III.
January 24, 2006 continues
Messenger: The
consecration Mary talks of at
Fatima to the Hearts of
Jesus and Mary and
the rosary are
Vital components for the banished
children of Eve.
In this the children of Adam and Eve
live more according to God's
will and find greater insight
into life in God through
meditation of the mysteries
of the rosary —
Christ the First Fruits
1 Corinthians 15: 20-28
In fact, however, Christ has been raised from the dead, as the first–fruits of all who have fallen asleep. As it was by one man that death came, so through one man has come the resurrection of the dead. Just as all die in Adam, so in Christ all will be brought to life; but all of them in their proper order: Christ the first–fruits, and next, at his coming, those who belong to him. After that will come the end, when he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, having abolished every principality, every ruling force and power. For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool, and the last of the enemies to be done away with is death, for he has put all things under his feet. But when it is said everything is subjected, this obviously cannot include the One who subjected everything to him. When everything has been subjected to him, then the Son himself will be subjected to the One who has subjected everything to him, so that God may be all in all.

Given January 24, 2007 - After Communion 8:30 am
Received in about 15 minutes
Messenger: At every Mass we
bring all of our
offerings in trying to serve God doing all things
for His honor and glory — We lay down our lives —
united to Jesus at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
God has taught us
the importance of the
Mass, as members of the body of Christ — we come as
great intercessors to worship, love, adore, honor
and
petition our God for our needs and for the sake
of souls. We love the souls more deeply every
moment of our lives.
Our participation
at Mass as a member of the body
of Christ — a baptized Catholic is so important to
our lives and the lives of the Church and the world.
It is so important our realization of this at Mass
we pray for the priests, the Church and the world in
the prayer chapters, but our awareness of daily
Mass and our participation at Mass praying for
the priests, the Church and the world is so
important.
Our lives lived
every moment so identified
with Christ is a constant offering through the
morning offering, praying to the Father, united to
Jesus,
in the Holy Spirit united to the angels and saints
and the souls in purgatory — through the
intercession
of Mary —
We pray so very
deeply — giving our lives here below
for our own salvation some day and for the sake of
souls on earth and in purgatory.
Our awareness of
the heavenly banquet is so
keen — our thirsting for the beatific vision for all
eternity and our ever growing love of God and of
souls is why we live.
Love is it.
Growth in the
ways of being more likened to Him
creatures of love. Permeated with the love of the
Holy Spirit — His Spirit filling our souls to be as
God
desires us to be every moment of our lives.
Our life is a
sacrifice — an offering to the Father,
in the Holy Spirit — so united to the Holy Sacrifice
of
the Mass going on around the world.
Our lives are harmonious — with order and love
despite the disharmony of this world that surrounds
us — we are living the Word of God so deep in our
soul — His Word is alive in us — we are one with
God so deeply — So actively united to the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass being celebrated around the world.
We are one with each other in a special way giving ourselves
especially to the pure and holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
One in Their Hearts — purity
One in the body of Christ — strength
harmony
accord —
like the parts of a body are one, finger, toe, etc —
We are one — His precious creatures —
Jesus shed His blood for
Spreading the devotion to the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts —
Helps us to be more one and holy — offering a
more pure sacrifice of our lives given
(laying down our lives for God).
This sacrifice IS doing our work.
It is our offering —
It is living our lives as He wants us to in love.
Living according to one's vocation — mother, husband,
son, daughter, elderly in a nursing home —
tiny tot, religious — serving the Church through
a life of marriage in a special way to Jesus.
