Scripture selection is Day 7 Period II.
The Novena Rosary Mystery
for September 10th is Glorious.

   

Messenger:        God is with us.

                            God lives in us in a special way

                                when we are in the state of grace.

                            We do not realize our own specialness.

                            God has given us so many gifts.

                            God gives us the flowers that grow

                                and the air we breathe, but God

                                gives us each other to live together

                                and help each other for His holy

                                purpose.

                            I long for completeness in Him.

                            I know this—He has a plan and in working

                                together for His purpose we will be able

                                to accomplish many things in love.

                            The movies promote so many things.

                            Lets look at the real picture of what

                                God desires of us.

                            God desires we live as one happy family

                                loving each other and working to

                                promote His Kingdom.

                            Family—God wants us to be united.

                            There are so many messages being

                                taught today.

                            Some are on focusing on ourselves so much

                                we do not leave room in our hearts

                                for genuine holy love.

                            Do we want others to do things for our

                                purpose or do we work together

                                in love for His purpose.

   

Jesus speaks:         I want to tell you a story of a man who prided

                            himself on his grass and having everything

                            in order in his life.

                                He missed so much love polishing his floors,

                            his wife said. He didn't want anyone to

                            walk on the floors because it would "mess

                            up" the shine.

                                The floors became the end, not their usefulness

                            to men.

                                You must take time to be alone with Me.

                                I want you to love all your brothers

                            and pray for them.

                                I give you so many things. I showed

                            you the way. I worked with the Apostles so

                            they would carry on the work I began

                            through them.

                                I water the earth with water so it will

                            produce fruit. I give you the sunlight.

                            I give you Myself in the Eucharist

                            to feed you.

                                What is important in your life?

                                Why are you here?

                                Can you work in love?

                                Do you work to promote My Kingdom?

                                Do you become more and more selfish?

                                Do you become more and more loving?

                                Do people see you and think you

                                    are a light?

                                Do you reflect My image and likeness?

                                Are you loving like Mary?

                                Do you pray the rosary and see Me and

                                    Mary as your model?

                                Do you make this world your end?

                                Can you live in the world and set your

                                    sights on a greater time to come?

                                Oh My chosen one—live to love Me—
                                    live to love—work for My greater
                                    honor and glory.

                                    I am Jesus, the Son of God.
                                   I speak to you that you will turn
                                        from your selfish ways and love
                                        one another like a family.

                                        I am God.

September 9, 2002 message continues

Messenger:        It was raining and we did the

                                prayers at 6:20 in the rain.

                            Mary was so beautiful.

                                Jesus told me to sing the song

                                    "Where have all the flowers
                                        gone"

                                    We sang it in the rain.

                            The batteries went bad in the

                                camera and we didn't

                                get any still shots of Mary

                                entirely gold.

                            The gold bottom corner where

                                Jesus appears was so gold

                                it looked like it was on fire.

                            Soon Mary's face was gold too.

                            Jesus told me He wanted the building

                                called the building of the

                                Two Hearts.

                            Both Jesus' face and Mary's
                                face were so gold in
                                the rain.

                            Many people were gathered with
                                ponchos and umbrellas.

                            My legs have hurt me so bad since
                                June 20, 2002.

                            I was told to go to New York with Emily
                                and Doris June 20, 2002 for only the
                                day.

                            I tried to get the cheapest plane fare for
                                all of us because I was paying for it
                                as I do for my trips and sometimes
                                I pay for others, too.

                            Jesus told me June 19, 2002 to go up
                                there on June 20, 2002, look at
                                where the buildings were and
                                come back.

                            We left early and as soon as we got to
                                the airport my legs began to hurt,
                                especially my right leg, the
                                knees, it is a long story.

                            For the past months, most nights I
                                couldn't sleep and it has
                                been a struggle and painful.

                            The night I received the message
                                "The pain" I was up as Our Lord
                                called me at 3:00 and it felt
                                as if a sword was in my right
                                knee and a nail where Christ's
                                nail was in His foot.

                            The message came strong and the pain
                                was so awful as I wrote.

                            My foot continued to hurt like this
                                and I was in so much pain the
                                morning of the 5th I never slept
                                again and left for Florida
                                at 3:00AM to get to the
                                airport, but I changed planes
                                and it was late so it took
                                about 9 hours to get there since
                                I left my house, my legs and
                                foot were very painful, but
                                I kept going.

                            I went to 12:10 noon Mass in St. Petersburg
                                and right before Mass Jesus
                                gave me this message.

                            After Mass was over I thought I couldn't
                                even spend my hour I felt so bad—
                                but I kept recalling the message
                                and kept going.

                                I put it here———

     

Message given September 5, 2002

Messenger:        "I have a lot to be grateful for"

Jesus speaks:     Let your step be lighter and your

                                heart smile a smile of joy—

                                for I have given you great gifts—

                            Smell the fresh air—

                                Let your voice lilt with laughter—

                                Count your blessings———

                                Enjoy the moment—

                                smell the flowers—

                            Do you remember the old saying if the

                                world gives you lemons make

                                lemonade—

                            My sweet and precious ones—

                                I have given you great gifts—

                                    the Eucharist—the priest—

                                    Myself—truly present in the

                                    Eucharist and with you—

                                Oh you want more—

                            You complain when you are given

                                gifts.

                            You give into the suffering instead

                                of offering some things up

                            Walk lighter—

                            Talk lighter—

                            Accept the crosses you must endure

                                with joy—

                            Oh the Father has given you from

                                His abundance

                            Oh little sweet one—

                            See the image I have given to

                                you

Jesus speaks:     Oh My sweet one—

                                I love you so much how can

                                    you be sad.

                            You are not trusting in Me.

                            You do not reach for the joy

                                you could have in your

                                heart—

                            You walk like an old man—

                            You carry a self-made ball

                                and chain tied to your

                                ankle—

                            A Shepherd of Christ is one who

                                follows the Good Shepherd—

                            A Shepherd of Christ is one who

                                knows the Good Shepherd

                                walks before him and he follows

                                Him.

                            Be like a baby—

                            Know your heavenly Father

                                watches after you—

                            Oh My Child, that you would only

                                write to your Father everyday,

                                a little note about all the

                                good things that happened in

                                your life and thank Him——

                            Oh My child that you would write

                                to Me, to help Our personal

                                relationship grow—

                            When you are tired and weary—

                                look at a picture of Me

                                carrying the cross—

                            Oh My little child there is joy

                                in the crosses you must endure,

                                they can draw you closer to

                                Me.

                            Satan wants you bowed down

                            How heavy is your ball and 

                                chain? Pretty heavy—

                                Let Me ask you how is

                                your outlook on life?

                            Say this every hour,

                                    "I HAVE A LOT TO

                                    BE GRATEFUL FOR"

                                say the hourly prayers—

                            Let your voice be one of joy—

                                oh I hear your exhausted tones—

                                will you tell the world about

                                Me with a worn out voice—

                                look at yourself—

                                look to the heavens—

                                see the stars—

                            Know that I will answer your

                                heartfelt prayer. Pray, Pray

                                Pray—Pray for the priests, the

                                Church and the world

                            Oh My Shepherds follow Me

Messenger:            After my hour I felt a little better.

                                Our Lord told us to give the people
                                    these pictures framed—anyone
                                    who wanted one and came.

  

   

     

September 9, 2002 message continues

Messenger:        I prayed really hard at the rosary for my
                                legs. I felt the rain was helping
                                to wash away my leg problem
                                as it came down on us and I
                                saw the beautiful window
                                before me.

                            It was more brilliantly blue than I
                                ever saw.

                            The gold was like a red-golden fire
                                and the whole next day my day was
                                spent in such joy having seen her,

                            but the good thing is, I feel healing
                                in my legs from the 5th.

                            I prayed to Mary to intercede for healing
                                for my leg problem.

                            I have had mostly sleepless nights
                                since June 20, 2002 when
                                I was sent to New York to look at
                                where the twin towers were.

                            I spent almost every day in leg
                                therapy trying to do all I could
                                to help myself, getting in
                                the bath tub and rubbing
                                them with Vicks salve for the
                                pain. It was the only way I
                                could sleep at night a little
                                amount.

                            On September 5, 2002 under the image
                                in the rain, I think I had a
                                healing, at least a lot of
                                relief since then.

                                I hope it continues.

                                I was sent to the hole of the
                            twin towers and suffered for
                            about 2½ months until the
                            5th of September a few days
                            before the anniversary of 
                            September 11, 2001.

Messenger:        Please pray with me for our world.

                            We can see the loss of so many people

                                as a tragedy, but we don't see

                                the loss of so many souls as

                                such a tragedy.

                            Mary appears to tell us about this.

                            It was exactly when I got to the airport

                                on June 20, 2002 that my legs began

                                to hurt and I could hardly walk

                                all day.

                            Here is the message I received

    

September 2, 2002

From Jesus A Reflection

(This writing does not necessarily reflect my heart
I was directed at 3:00AM September 2, 2002 to write this here for you.)

Messenger:        The night is my friend for
                                it can tell me the story of
                                my life——
                                it can tell me the pain of
                                an unfriendly day——

                                As the blackness presses in
                                    I can be reminded of the ever
                                    aching pain of an unruly
                                    back or the night of pain
                                    of any joint that cried out
                                    all day——

                                It isn't like, I lay and rest anymore
                                    while the city sleeps, it is
                                    like I toss and turn and look
                                    for that place of rest, that doesn't
                                    seem to come for the pain
                                    is constant and the night
                                    soon turns into morning light
                                    and sleepless unrest of a
                                    new day coupled with new
                                    problems and the tiredness
                                    of that night before, clinches
                                    in all day with greater
                                    unrest and weariness.

                            But I don't want you to think I complain
                                because of frustration and
                                a feeling of being distraught.

                            With each moment, no matter what He
                                sends me, comes an ever growing
                                awareness of what it is to
                                long for completeness in Him,
                                a desire within to want to
                                embrace the joy of tomorrow,
                                unfurled and worry free——

                            To be relieved of a mortal body,
                                one which at times may seem
                                to dampen my spirit and nag
                                at my soul as I hold on
                                so tightly to things that give
                                me some pleasure, but
                                in the end seem so little
                                at all,

                                The taste of my favorite food,
                                    the joy of one cup of coffee,
                                    the laughter of being with
                                    friends,

                                The quietness of an embrace of
                                    moments spent with my beloved
                                    God in unhurried fashion,
                                    just to be and to gaze upon
                                    His splendor and His love
                                    for me.

                            In many saints was a thorn and
                                they grew to love the comforts
                                of the pain for it took
                                their focus to Him.

                            What do you do to surrender to
                                pain when it is constant
                                and relentless-on-going
                                but to focus ones gaze entirely
                                on the King of Glory, the One
                                who mastered the pain of
                                body and heart and
                                rose to victory despite
                                it all.

                            Oh heavenly beauteous-One dressed
                                in gleaming white with
                                glorified wounds——

                            Oh that we could embrace You with
                                the love we desire and rest
                                so completely in Thee——

                            But our time here is a time
                                of sorrow, pain and the
                                cross, a time of moments
                                and glimpses of Thee——

                                of embracing so deeply someone
                                    loved, only to surrender
                                    and let go to that love
                                    once known to encounter
                                    a higher realm of it (love)
                                    and more glorious and perfected
                                    in that wisdom of loving
                                    more likened to Thee, on a
                                    much higher realm.

                            I pray that you ponder the words
                                here and identify in the
                                sorrow and deepness of true 
                                heart felt love.

                            Sunrise—sunset—swiftly
                                flow the days.

                            A heart filled with the deep emotion
                                of loving and loving more deeply
                                and more deeply still, but
                                a knowledge of knowing
                                how to let go of the old ways
                                of loving to embrace a deeper
                                more heartfelt love, one
                                which can take one to the
                                high spiritual realm of
                                loving to a greater perfection,
                                a greater fullness of the
                                saints and angels and those
                                here on earth below united in such
                                oneness with God.

                            Oh fullness of it all, only to know,
                                it is not bitter or wanting or
                                full, it is love that is on a
                                journey, it is life, lived on
                                a journey, it is people once
                                loved, loved more deeply now,
                                but passing as shadows in
                                the night only to embrace
                                that love relationship more
                                deeply now in this later life.

                            If my heart has grown to a capacity
                                of loving here below I cannot
                                even begin to describe,

                                need I wonder in this barren
                                land how glorious the fullness
                                of love will be forever and
                                ever when united, when possessed
                                so fully by my Divine God.

                            Oh I think I can write to you, my vision
                                widens deeper every day,
                                the reality of my Divine God
                                    is ever clearer,
                                the wisdom of some of the saints
                                    I feel I have embraced——

                            The light surrounds me and even
                                in gripping pain there is a
                                clarity to see that is more
                                clear when the pain does
                                not press in

                            And oh my beloved souls——
                                I see His face———
                                I see the face of Jesus——
                                not in the distance, but in the
                                grasp of deep pain—His face
                                is before me, almost breathing
                                into my face, He is so close
                                and I see Him

                                the face of God, my love my
                                beloved, my life is lived
                                in shades of light and dark,
                                facing Him and moving away
                                to do my dishes only to be
                                almost touched in my face
                                by the closeness of another
                                pain and embrace of my
                                Divine God.

                            I see Him face to face in the pain,
                                I know Him in the joy of deep,
                                deep love in my heart, I know
                                Him in the letting go and
                                in the embraces————

                            My life is—my life in Him, different
                                in so many moments, enriching,
                                moved to emotion in tears so
                                many times when I touch Him
                                so closely (especially in moments
                                in the Mass and moments centered
                                around reception of the Eucharist).

                            Oh Lady of Love, how deeply you
                            must have seen to be the Mother
                            of God, Mother of "The Light"

                            Oh how deeply, with your pure heart
                                you must have experienced all
                                the moments God allowed you
                                to have on this earth——

                            To me, I live to experience these
                                moments with greater depth
                                as I mature more and more in
                                my relationship with Thee
                                and all others————

                            Life is a journey——a journey
                                to experience each moment
                                in greater maturity as I live
                                more deeply in Thee and yet
                                the previous moments and moments
                                of great light and special
                                graces are engraved on my soul
                                and give me great pleasure in
                                the every moment I live now.

                            Oh how do I write of life in Thee—
                                I am on a journey, my every moment
                                is one closer to eternity my love
                                newer every moment I live—different—
                                my vision widened, my visions more
                                numerous than ever before——

                            The light dawns on the earth where the
                                Sacred Heart has dropped His letters
                                of love and His Newsletters of
                                wisdom and love
                                a little pocket of light, a little
                                    fire glowing with the light from
                                    His Sacred Heart.

                            Oh God that I could but know
                                more with greater wisdom,
                                for I thirst for the knowledge
                                of Thee and Your ways.
                                I long to know of Your wonders,
                                I want to write of Your glory,
                                I want You——
                                I love You and all I write
                                sometimes seems of nothing I
                                desire to say and yet You
                                have given me these very
                                words to help me express
                                myself.

                            Oh great gifts from Thee.
                            Oh great gifts in the suffering and the cross.

                            Great gifts from a Heart enflamed
                                with fire of love for
                                all of us.

                            Oh so wide is the vision I see and
                                that of the world is majorly
                                blinded and so thwarted—
                                it reminds me of seeds that are
                                withering and dying now in
                                the dry weather, how could
                                one wither and die when God is
                                with us enriching us with
                                His precious grace.

                            If a seed is scorched by the sun and
                                left to wither in an unwatered
                                corner—it dies—
                            the little girl crying in the
                                rain didn't have the
                                sense to take shelter.

                            Why were the senseless virgins
                                crying to a molten calf when
                                the bridegroom was ready
                                and waiting.

                            Oh wisdom, of wisdoms, how
                                blind are the men that do
                                not see and cover their eyes
                                and let the days of grandeur
                                pass them by for senseless things.

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.

Messenger:        It rained the whole prayer service

                                on September 5, 2002 and Our Lord

                                told us to do the prayer service under

                                the image even though it was raining.

                                My legs that hurt, since I was

                                sent to New York to look at

                                where the twin towers were, felt 

                                as if they were healed (I think)

                                and the rain poured as both

                                Mary and Jesus' face appeared

                                more gold than I ever saw before.

                            His Sacred Heart will Reign on the

                                earth and my Immaculate

                                Heart will triumph.

                            I beg you to hear this message

                                turn your lives back to Him.

                                Please begin prayer chapters

                                    as my Son has instructed

Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus

My dear fellow Associate Members,

Jesus is calling special apostles to join a new division of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. Here is a message from Jesus given to Father Carter:

    My beloved priest-companion, I am requesting that a new prayer movement be started under the direction of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. I am asking for volunteers who are willing to pray before the Blessed Sacrament for one hour, twice-weekly. Members of the Shepherds of Christ prayer chapters, as well as others, are to be invited to join this movement.

    These apostles are to pray for the intentions I am giving you. For part of the hour they are to use the prayers of the Shepherds of Christ Associates Handbook. They may spend the rest of the hour as they so choose.

    I will use this new prayer movement within My Shepherds of Christ Ministries in a powerful way to help in the renewal of My Church and the world. I will give great graces to those who join this movement. The name, Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, is to be given to this movement.

    I am inviting My beloved Rita Ring to be coordinator for this activity.

    I pour out the great love of My Sacred Heart to all. I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock.

    This is indeed a special calling for us to unite in one heart with His Eucharistic Heart and pray for the following intentions:

  1. For the spread of the devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary culminating in the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of the Immaculate Heart.
  2. For the Pope.
  3. For all bishops of the world.
  4. For all priests.
  5. For all sisters and brothers in the religious life.
  6. For all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, and for the spread of this movement to the world.
  7. For all members of the Catholic Church.
  8. For all members of the human family.
  9. For all souls in purgatory.
