January 23, 1997 - Personal Time with Jesus (excerpt)

R. No personal time with Jesus - we hold back our thoughts, we put Jesus on a schedule. Our every thought is not shared with Him. We do not have any personal time with Him. He wants personal time which we set aside just for Jesus because we love Him so much.

    That is why He wakes us in the middle of the night - to be so close to us. Jesus wants us to think of Him, to do little acts of love for Him. Loving whenever we are tired, loving when we want to not love someone - we are loving Jesus when we love someone else. We are not loving to Jesus when we are unloving to others.

    Jesus’ ways are love - always love. 

    I am dying to the ways that are not like Him. It is painful - dying. He shows us how painful it is to die. He was wounded and He was whipped. He was beaten. He was bloodied, and He died on a cross for us. 

   

Sorrowful Mysteries 

The Agony in the Garden 

1. R. We are wounded by others, our hearts bleed.  We are whipped, but we continue to love, as He did. We are slowly dying to self as He did, dying and dying while we are beaten, and then we die and we will live a greater life forever in Heaven. We walk the road to Calvary, dying to self, living in Him. The more we die to self, the more we live in Him. 

2. R. Jesus will give us our strength. He came, the Son of God, and showed us how to withstand the brutal whippings, the crowning of our heads, the cross on our back. Our eyes must be on Jesus. We are whipped, but we must respond in love as Jesus did. He gave His all even when He was whipped and He died. So, too, we walk through life and we are whipped. Our hearts bleed and we don’t want to love, many times, and we make mistakes. Whenever we interact with others, our imperfections are brought to light. The deeper the relationship, the more the imperfections come out. Perfect oneness is the love of the Trinity. 

3. R. The more I merge with another, the more I die to that which is imperfect, to be molded into a more perfect love, which is how greater oneness is achieved. Love is oneness. 

4. R. Therefore, we are striving for more perfect love in our relationships – Love that gives honor to God. Listen to Fr. Carter talk about the Trinity.
 

Excerpt from Response to God's Love by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

    ... In reference to Christianity, 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.

 

R. God is love. God is all perfect. In order to have oneness in this movement we too are striving constantly to be as perfect as we possibly can be more like God. It is our imperfections which cause division, when we interact with one another. In order to grow more and more in this oneness, however, we must interact with each other and we learn, we see how we are imperfect, and we grow more and more in our likeness to Jesus by interacting with one another in love and according to God' will. We allow ourselves to recognize the imperfections that exist within us. 

5. R. Think of Jesus in the Garden, Jesus in such agony that He sweat blood. The Almighty God, all perfect, seeing before Him all of the haughtiness, the pride, the anger, the imperfections of so many and how they continued to their death. Those who sin mortally and do not repent will suffer the unending fires of Hell because of their willfulness, because of their lack of submission, because they will not admit their failings, many feel that they are perfect, when, in fact, they have many imperfections. Our human nature is wounded – Mary, is our model, our Heavenly Mother, Mother of the Church, Mother of Jesus, Mary was conceived without sin.

6. R. So Jesus has called us the Shepherds of Christ members, Apostles of His Sacred Heart – the ones that are gathered here this afternoon, in particular, to spread His light across the earth and being baptized, we are one body in Him. We unite to be deeply one in Him. So we scoff and we look at one another and we see how many times we are so imperfect in our ways.

Jesus: My beloved ones, it is in the Mass that you must die to yourselves. Unite in the Mass. Give yourself as a sacrifice united to the Mass. You come to the altar of sacrifice with all of your failings, with all of your good points, with all of your bad point, you ask for grace to die to your bad habits and be more and more in My image and likeness. You come to the altar of sacrifice, My beloved ones, you unite in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass you want to be made holy. You do not come with a haughty and prideful heart but you come with a heart that is humble and loving. You recognize the faults that you have committed. You say you are sorry at the beginning of the Mass and you beg for mercy. 

R. God, God, give us mercy. Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord have mercy. This is the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We come and give ourselves as a sacrifice and we ask to be made holy, We want unity with God. We unite in this sacrifice with Him. We want to die to our imperfections. The Holy Spirit works within the heart of Mary to sanctify us. We receive the Body and Blood of Jesus. The great gift - we unite in such unity to the Almighty God. We are fed with His life. We die to those ways that are not like Him. We want to be more like God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. God is love. We must die to our imperfections. It is pride and haughtiness to think that we do not have imperfections. A wise man knows that he has imperfections and he must die to them in order to advance in the spiritual life. 

Jesus: I have taught you, My beloved ones, the secrets of My Heart. I am unveiling to you the Scriptures. I am teaching you the secrets of My Heart to help bring about the Reign of My Sacred Heart. Oh, foolish ones, who have rejected these teachings! How it offends My Most Sacred Heart! When I have given great gifts and they have been abused, scoffed at, laughed at and pressed on.  I am God and I am calling you, each one of you here, to go to your knees to thank God that you have been taught by Me. I am unveiling the scriptures to you, My chosen ones. You have been called and you have been chosen. When others went their foolish ways and they neglected the teachings that I gave to them, you came because your heart was burning for love of Me. I give to you this day a great gift in your heart. I am drawing you so close to My Heart, how I love you! 

Song: Come unto me, all who are weary

7. R. Any flaws in our personality are brought to light if we are to be one with each other. It is a great gift from God to allow us to be united to each other in holy love, for it is the way of perfecting ourselves. Whenever I love God I give myself to Him. When I love another, truly love them, the imperfections of my personality can interfere with unity with each other. The imperfections come to light. If I deal with these imperfections in the relationship, I grow in more perfect  love. I must die to that which is imperfect. I must recognize what I need to change. I accept my need to change. Dying is painful. Dying to self is painful. In many love relationships, when imperfections show up they are so painful to admit one’s failings. The people give up the relationship and they move on. They throw away the opportunity to grow. We must want to grow to see that which is not like Jesus and to die to it, to be more like Jesus. We work in relationships to see our imperfections. We are to learn to be more and more one. The Trinity is perfect love. The more we become one with others, the more we must die to the imperfections within ourselves. We are beaten, we are bloodied, we are whipped. We can continue to love. If we do, we die to the imperfections or we can give into our selfish ways and keep our imperfections. The way to new life, life in Him, is to die to self and to be more like Him. Jesus loved to His death on the cross and He knelt in the Garden and His blood became great drops, His sweat became great drops of blood on the ground. Jesus saw before Him all of the prideful and haughty men and how they paraded around and how they think. They can be unloving and hateful and envious, this is not like Jesus. 

Jesus: I am calling you, My beloved ones to come to My altar, to come to My altar and to die to yourselves that you will live more and more in Me. Give yourself to Me and beg to be filled with My life. I give Myself to you.

R. The Mass is the greatest love affair with God. The greatest love affair for us that God gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him. It is in the Mass that we die to many of these imperfections. The Holy Spirit works within the heart of Mary to make us holy, that we offer a holy sacrifice. We go to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to be made holy. It is at the Consecration when we give ourselves entirely to Jesus and Mary that we die to ourselves, that we become more like Him.

Song: Spirit Song

8. Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive and I live in you. You are My chosen ones that will carry this light into the darkness. You must die to those ways that are not like My ways and in this world there will be one flock and One Shepherd. Many will be converted through the Shepherds of Christ Movement. You are to be one with each other. You must be loving and kind. You will spread this oneness to the far ends of this earth.

9. Song: One Bread, One Body

10. R. We see the love of the Persons of the Trinity. Three Persons in one God. We are always striving more and more to rid ourselves of imperfections for they get in the way of us being united to each other.
 

From Response to God's Love pp. 81-82

       The Christian community is a terrestrial reflection of the ultimate and absolute community—namely, the Trinity. In a special way, we are privileged to give witness to Trinitarian life, a life of divine intimacy and loving. From all eternity, the persons of the Trinity are united in the most intimate bonds of knowledge and love; these have also brought about creation and redemption.

       Grace, or the Christ-life, is a created participation in Trinitarian life. This Christ-life, consequently, calls us to a special existence of knowing and loving. Christian faith and love, which are created participations in the Trinity's knowing and loving, allow us to know and love God in a special manner. Faith and love also give us a new capacity to relate to both our fellow Christians and to all others as well.

       Because the life of the Trinity is person-centered, so must the life of the Christian community be person-centered. For many years, it seems, we were not sufficiently person-conscious; however, the theology that has emanated from Vatican II is helping to rectify this situation. In the pre-Vatican II Church, structures in the Church were occasionally treated as ends in themselves rather than as the means of serving the persons in the Church. Slowly but surely, structures in the Church are being renewed so that they might better serve their true purpose, which is to aid in the ongoing development of her members.

       The Christian community, in turn, develops when those who make up that community develop as authentic Christians. Just as each divine person contributes perfectly to the community life of the Trinity according to the perfect fullness of his personhood, so each Christian contributes to community life in proportion to the degree of his or her personal development.

       Authentic interpersonal relationships help to develop community. The Trinitarian community is a community of profound relationships. Because we reflect Trinitarian community, we are intended to have relationships not only with the persons of the Trinity, but likewise with one another. Authentic interpersonal relationships not only unite in a deeper knowledge and love the persons directly involved, they also make a person more capable of loving others more deeply and, therefore, more capable of deepening the bonds of total community. If a person is growing in the capacity to love his or her friends, for example, that person is concurrently growing in the capacity to also love others—both those who are members of the Church and those who are not.

The Scourging at the Pillar 

R. Jesus gave Himself as a sacrifice for love of us. We unite to Jesus more and more and seek holiness. I mount the altar of sacrifice, I want to be more holy. I am not prideful and haughty. I am as it were opened wide with all my faults, and You dress my wounds and You make me more and more holy. You fill me with your love. We come to His altar, not with hearts that are haughty and prideful, but hearts that are humble and loving and we cry for mercy.

    At the beginning of the Mass we tell God that we are sorry for our sins.  We recognize that this is the greatest act of love that we can have with God. We give ourselves and He gives Himself to us. We tell Him that we are sorry, for we want to unite to Him in the deepest union. In order to do this, we must rid ourselves of our sins and then we say: Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy.

l.  Jesus: I was whipped, I was beaten, I was crowned with thorns, My beloved ones, I see you this day and I see you crowned, crowned in your head, as the devil presses on you and tries to stop you on your way. I am Jesus and I am speaking here. The blind do not see and the deaf do not hear but I have given to you great lights that you will comprehend. That is why you are here this day. I am unveiling the Scriptures.  It is through you that I will write the messages of My love on their hearts. Come to Me, My beloved ones. Open your heart and believe. You must believe I am truly speaking to you and listen to the words for it is in listening to the words that I can reveal secrets to you. For those that are always questioning the words do not hear the great gift of this heart-felt love I am giving to them. They miss the great gift that I am giving. You are My leaders. I am giving to you a special grace that you will comprehend these gifts. I am unveiling the Scriptures. I am telling you about the Mass. Many attend Mass as blind men. They do not comprehend what is going on.  It is in giving your heart to the heart of My Mother, that the Holy Spirit fills you with lights and that you comprehend insights into the mystery of My love. 

2. R. I felt as if my heart was bleeding and He said to me: "Bled, little heart, bleed little heart, for if you do not bleed I cannot reveal to you these secrets of My love from My Sacred Heart. Embrace the pain in your heart and work in love." We see ourselves as we are wounded so much in our lives, in childhood. All through our lives, we are wounded and we continue to walk our way. Jesus showed us that we will walk through life and that we will be wounded. How do we heal these wounds? He binds up our wounds and He gives us Himself in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. We go to the Mass with all of our faults, all of our wounds, from every love relationship that we have had from the time we were born and He binds up our wounds and He nurses them and He gives us Himself, He gives us His love, His grace, we eat His body, we drink His blood.

3. R. Jesus dresses our wounds with the ointment of His love. Jesus outpours His abundant grace.

4. R. The Mighty Medicine for the Church and for the world is His love. People wander the barren desert looking for something to feed their starved souls. Their hearts are full of wounds that are not being repaired for they are going to food, to sex, to everything that they can find on the face of the earth, to heal the wounds in the heart, that only God can heal. The greatest gift that He gives to us, to heal our wounds is Himself in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.   

5. R. I walked through life and I am covered with wounds as He walked on  the way to His death on the cross, but against the darkened sky His light shone, the brightest light that there ever was. Jesus is the Light of the world. He walked a brutal walk on the way to Calvary. Jesus was wounded all over His body but He continued to love. Jesus died on the cross, Jesus rose the third day. Jesus is the Light of the world. We receive a sharing in His life in baptism. 

 Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried and I cried for the little ones that would lose their souls this day and I give to you my message, Mary’s Message, to circulate to the world. I appear on the bank in Florida, my beloved ones that you will carry this message to the world. This is my desire that this message will circulate. You must work fervently to spread this message to the hearts that are suffering. Many are in sin today and will lose their souls. I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried, I cried for the little ones that would be lost forever to the fires of hell. 

7. R. So where was Mary when Jesus was beaten? Mary saw His bloody footprints on the ground, the price, Jesus paid for our sins. 

8. R. Envision Christ as He is beaten at the pillar. See the whips come down on Jesus' precious, precious skin and see Jesus' skin torn. See the blood fly in the air. Think of the wounds that we receive all through the day, for the devil is pressing on us in enormous fashion. God has called us to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the devil cannot press on us enough for He wants us stopped. We must walk forward although we are walking as it feels in mud. We must continue to walk forward for He has called us. He has called us to spread the light to the dark world and the world is dark. The more He called, we turn away. 

Jesus: So My beloved ones, you walk this hard, hard, hard valley and you know that the devil is pressing on. Do not ever give up for I am counting on you. You must help to spread Mary’s message to the world. Miracles will come from this tape, Mary’s Message. I called at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center and Falmouth. My Mother appeared there and they blocked all the messages that I gave that would lead to the Reign of My Sacred Heart. Mary appears on this building to lead men to these messages which will bring about the Reign of My Sacred Heart.  It is through the Priestly Newsletter and these messages that people will hear the messages of My love that I write on their hearts. For I am unveiling the scriptures and they will comprehend as they have never comprehended before, insights into the love of My Sacred Heart.

9. R. Now look - see the man. See Jesus bend over. See Jesus' bare body. See Jesus' stringy, brown hair. See Jesus' face covered with a bloody sweat, blood and wounds. See Jesus' body covered with wounds and how are the wounds that we are suffering today, the wounds that we carry with us from the past, the wounds that get in our way when we try to do Jesus' holy work, how are the wounds? Do we have visible wounds? Are they as bad as the wounds that we see before us, that Jesus suffered? Do we really believe that God is speaking to us, that we go to the Mass and we hear the Scriptures and we see that we do see with eyes unveiled? The Scriptures are like a two-edged sword penetrating our heart. We are comprehending more and more clearly what is going on in the Word at Mass. The Word is a two-edged sword in our hearts! The Word is alive in our hearts like never before.

    Oh, yes, indeed, God has given to us these great gifts, great graces. Why has God called us, I do not know, but I know God lives in me. I know the power of the Almighty God when I receive Jesus in the Eucharist. A power that I cannot even contain within my Being! For I have been wrapped in God's embrace and I have cried and called out, Oh, God, how I love Thee! This is what He wants from us. This is the message that we will carry into the earth this day.

10. A man called last night from South Carolina and he said, “I cried, I cried, I cried like a baby. I have a small book and I want to put the Stations in it. I was moved so, I cried all through the Stations. Your books have changed my life. They’ve changed my wife’s life. They’ve changed my family’s life. I beg you, whatever you do, do not give up, for I did not feel God alive within my heart at all and now He is so alive to me and I was a hard man. Please, whatever you do, no matter what the struggle, do not give up, I beg you! 

 

The Crowning with Thorns 

R. This is an excerpt from the front of the Mass Book.

December 19, 1996 - There is a Man on the Cross (excerpt)

God wants union with us. He wants fire. Many try to love God with a cold heart. They tell Him words that they think they should say that are loving.

When one loves, they do not need to be prompted to say words. From the depth of their being they cry out their words of love. It is a cry from within, from the fire within their chest, behind the words. The words are burning in their chest and must be released because of the fire behind them.

We are as blind men. We do not see the great gifts that God gives to us. It is as if we stand by the shore of the sea and throw little words at Jesus. We must not be afraid to jump into the water and be completely immersed in His love. He was consumed with such love for us. He gave Himself to His death on the cross.

1. There is a man on a cross and he tells us so many things. He does not have to speak. When we study Him on the cross, He speaks to us with His pierced hands, His head, covered with blood, His body withered and beaten. He speaks to us of His undying love.

2. R. Oh, beloved Savior, I am blind. I am selfish. I do not see the great reservoir of love that you give to Me. I see the man dying on the cross. How do I see Him? Do I see a figure and think, oh, is it a pretty cross, would it look good in my living room? Do I see the cross and think, oh, I guess I should have one in my house, others will think I am holy then? Holy people do have a cross in their homes.

Do I see the body of a man, a live man? Do I see His labored breath? Do I see His chest move as His Heart beats within? Do I see the real skin of a man? Do I see the real blood He shed? Do I see the light that silhouettes His withered body? Do I see the Light of the World? Do I see the tender skin of an infant laid on bare wood in the manager and then the torn, lacerated, bloodied skin of this man?

This is love! There is a man on the cross.

3. R. There is a child born to us today. He is the Light of the World. His light is shining in the darkness, but people do not see. They see the wood, but they view it for the beauty it will create in their newly decorated living rooms.

The cross is not a thing of the past, the cross is with us today. We carry it on our backs as He showed us we would, but we try to take it off and throw it away.

4. R. It is in the cross there is the resurrection. It is by meditating on the crucifix, we see His undying love. We must open up our eyes and see. Pray for vision to see clearly the man Who gave Himself for love of us, Our Divine Lord.

And how do we return His love?

Love is spontaneous, love is fire in our hearts, love is alive and emitted with force. God is love.

Do we realize that His last thoughts on the cross were for us. In this agony, as He hung on the cross, He was consumed with burning love for us. When He was scourged at the pillar, He was comforted by our acts of love that we give to Him today. Our burning love for Him was sweetness to His most Sacred Heart in the moments of His bitter Passion.

5. R. Love gives and wants to give its all. A person in love does not need to be prompted and told to love. Love wants to give.

Love is given spontaneously, it is not controlled. Love is tenderness pouring forth from the heart. Love is not concerned with commitment, love by itself is committed. It pours forth from the mouth of the lover because of the fire burning deep inside.

end of excerpt

6. R. This message was received on December 19th, 2 days after Mary appeared on the building, the day that I received the strong, strong message from Jesus. 

December 19, 1996 - There is a Man on the Cross  (excerpt) continues

R. Let us study the battered body of Christ on the cross. As I study His pierced hands and feet, His head crowned with thorns, the blood pouring forth from His Heart, as I view the lacerations covering His body, I feel His word well up in my heart. He speaks to me in the depth of my soul and I hear Him say, "I love you. I love you. I love you, to My death on the cross."

He gives, He gives, He gives to us constantly. He gives and how is He treated by us? We take and we take and we take and we don't even say thanks. Thanks for our breath, our heartbeat, the beautiful sky, the sunlit day, the moon at night, the beautiful eyes of our friends. Oh, how many things He gives to us and how ungrateful we are!

How is your day? Is your glass half-empty or half-full?

How often my glass is half empty, as I am reminded by my spiritual director, Fr. Carter. How often I do not thank Our Divine Lord for His gifts!

When I am filled with love, I see more clearly. The secret is to know God's love. We must pray for the grace to know His love more and for the grace to love Him more.

There is a man on the cross. Do we see His undying love for us? He speaks no words. He shows us the crucifix. The words are alive in our hearts.

The Father created us to love and to be loved. God is love. He wants union with us. He gives Himself to us. This is love. There is union in proportion to how I give myself to Him.

7. R. Jesus gives and gives and gives and we treat Him "nonchalantly". He gives us love, but we must give ourselves to Him to have union with Him. He wants us to be one with Him.

We must relish the great gifts He gives to us - the greatest gift being the gift of Himself. We should anticipate the great gift of receiving Him in the Holy Eucharist with such eagerness in our hearts. The words I feel in my heart are expressed in the song, "I Love You, Jesus":

Oh Burning Heart, Oh Love divine, how sweet You are to me. I see the host, I know You're here to love and care for me.

end of excerpt

R. He gave Himself to me in such an intense way that I know His Divine presence and my body could not even stand the power of the Almighty God, that I felt within me. I cried profusely and within my heart I could not say any words. I could just say, Oh, God, Oh, God. This is how it is when He unites to us and for all eternity. If He lifted the veil and He let us experience what we truly are receiving in the Eucharist, we could not even take it for I was laid away. I was wiped out and I felt as if I could not move from the very small touch of the presence of the Almighty God and the might that I received after the Eucharist. He is giving to us such gifts and He is lifting the veil slowly that we experience little experiences of Him. If we really lived these experiences, we could not take it.

8. December 19, 1996 - There is a Man on the Cross  (excerpt) continues

R. When we awake at night, we must think of Him and how we will receive Him the next day. We long to go to Communion to receive Him. We love Jesus in the Eucharist so much. A King comes to us. He enters our body and unites with our soul. He is the King of the kingdom of heaven...He is our Lover, He is the Almighty God, a Divine Person, and He comes to us. He wants us to come to Him with such longing. He wants us to think of Him all day. He wants us to long for Him.    end of excerpt

9. R. So Jesus is unveiling more and more the Scriptures for us. Jesus is unveiling the secrets of His Heart, that we will comprehend more fully what is truly in the Scriptures. The Scriptures are alive in us. In our whole being we hear each word and it penetrates within us as a two-edged sword. We feel the word well up within us and we love Him. We love Him so intently because He has unveiled to us knowledge of Himself.

    The Holy Spirit has given to us such life. We go to Mary's heart the Holy Spirit works with Mary. We are so united to the Heart of Jesus. We go to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and ask to be made more and more holy. We live united to the Mass all day. Fr. Carter says dwelling in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary is our little heaven on earth. We can search the barren desert after all of these things but none of them will feed our starved soul, only the love of God. Worldly pleasures last a fleeting moment. A moment of pleasure, and we have given up what God would give to us for all eternity. God wants oneness, far beyond anything that I have expressed here, oneness, beyond any desire that we could ever have. To experience Him minutely lays me waste.

    In the Scriptures it says in the Psalms: "God, you are my God, I pine for you; my heart thirsts for you, my body longs for you, as a land parched, dreary and waterless. Thus I have gazed on you in the sanctuary, seeing your power and your glory."  (Psalm 63)

And so we read these words with eyes unveiled, for He has revealed to us the secrets of His Heart. Before they were words that were pretty words that meant nothing to us and now they vibrate within our being for He is alive in us, more and more. People that are reading and studying the messages that He has given in God’s Blue Books and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, are knowing His life in them more and more. He has lifted the veil. He is unveiling the Scriptures that will help bring about the Reign of His Sacred Heart.

Jesus: Mary appeared and she appeared. O My children, Mary says on the Mary Message tape, “I appeared, I appeared, I appeared and I was ignored. What more do I do? I called my children and that they would be led to Jesus' Heart through these messages." But they made the appearance of Mary the end in itself.

R. God is angered, for many souls have suffered because of these delays. We must pray with all our hearts for all of those involved that they will hear, that they will see, that they will respond to the grace God has given to them. To help be a messenger instead of acting contrary and causing damage to stopping the messages which will help bring about the Reign of His Heart.

Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive. I am unveiling the scripture to you, My beloved ones. You must carry the messages. The message you have heard, the ones in the Mass that will make the difference. You must pray for the Imprimatur. You must pray for this book, for it will change the way that men attend the Mass and it will change the hearts of many priests. I beg you, I beg you to pray, to not give into satan who will try to stop you at every moment. You will suffer persecution as you have never experienced before. You will suffer division for you will not even say a word and there will be an explosion before your face. Many around you will persecute you and you will be standing without even having spoken a word and you will know that you are being persecuted.

R. As Christ stood there and He was persecuted by those who surrounded Him. He was condemned to death. So, too, we will stand the persecution, but the gift is at hand. For many souls this day will be helped because of the work that we are doing. He says millions and millions of souls are at stake and we can help millions and millions of souls. We can help millions and millions. We are the core group in the center. If the devil gets to us – millions of souls will be affected. 

10. Song: A Song from Jesus

 

Jesus Carries His Cross 

R. So the sword penetrates our heart, as a two-edged sword, and it lives within us because He is unveiling the Scriptures for us. The scriptures are not dry and inactive, it is the living Word of God. We carry these messages in our hands and hearts and we are the messengers to deliver this message to the world. His Word will live in the hearts of those who pray for this.

    John heard of a person who did not commit suicide because of the Blue Books. I get messages in the mail that say that their marriage was saved because of the messages in the books. A woman called me yesterday and told me about her marriage. It says at the First Reading – I wanted to cry – it was from Isaiah. It talked about the gifts of the Spirit. It talked about the Reign of God and the Reign of Peace. "The lion lying down with the lamb, and the wolf will live with the lamb. The panther will lie down with the kid. The calf, lion and stock beasts together, with a little boy to lead them. The cow and the bear will graze and lie together." Everyone, no matter who they are, will live together in peace and harmony. But what does it say? That a little boy will lead them? Yes, the little King, the Infant of Prague, the Child Jesus of Good Health. He will carry this world to His Kingdom. Do we see His throne? This is Mary’s house and the Almighty God is to Reign on that throne, but the King of all Kings, Jesus, in the tabernacle, in the Blessed Sacrament - He is the King. He should be in control but His messages, His messages were blocked. We must pray, we must pray, for the Father says that His Plan will unfold. 

1. R. We carry the cross on our back and sometimes it is so heavy that we want to take it and throw it off and sometimes this is how it is going to be. It is how it has been for me–so intense since the 19th of December when Mary appeared on the building. You can be standing still and there is division created. There will be division created for we have millions of devils to try to stop what we are doing here. He is communicating to us. Open your eyes and read the Scriptures and you feel it deep within your breast and your mouth–how does it express the words? How do the people respond? For as a two-edged sword, you deliver the Word of God and they feel that Word penetrate their heart and they come and say to you, “Oh, you read so beautifully.” You read because you have been taught by the teacher, the teacher who is God. We carry the messages of God Himself. We carry the messages that will unveil the Scriptures that will bring about the Reign of His Heart. How do we respond? We respond with much gratitude and thankfulness. Is our glass half-empty or is it half-full? For the devil will press on us and we will know His taunting far beyond any that we have ever experienced in our life. But, if we continually give ourselves to the heart of Our Lady, if we spend one hour in front of the tabernacle every day, we will get a lot of grace to fight satan, God can help us to see His will for us. If it is impossible to go to the tabernacle, then we should spend an hour alone with Him at home. We need an hour every day with Jesus. Time alone with Jesus.

    Every person in this room is called by Jesus and the devil will use each one of us if possible to turn on the movement. If we spend this hour alone with Jesus as He wants it, if possible, in front of the tabernacle, the devil will be less likely to use us. We will carry the light. This has happened to many in the movement–they have violated the basic promise in the second Blue Book, the messages given from Jesus to bring about the Reign of His Sacred Heart. The messages given were that: “You need to be with Me in front of the tabernacle. The life that grows inside you is a life that is too mighty to contain.” He promised this to us. He is speaking to us. He gives to us His directions. We must obey. If we do not obey then He says that the Reign of His Heart will not come as swiftly and many souls will suffer. We must obey Him. This is Jesus–He is speaking! 

2.  It is in the Cross We Will be Raised to New Life - December 27, 1995

R. His anguish was so great in the garden for the endless hours He would remain in the tabernacle, neglected by so many. I see the Host and a cup plainly, above the agony and the angel. See Jesus in such agony in the garden.

An angel appeared at Fatima - what did he say?

The angel came…bearing a golden chalice in one hand and a Host above it in the other. The amazed children noticed that drops of blood were falling from the Host into the chalice. Presently, the angel left both suspended in mid-air and prostrated himself on the ground, saying this beautiful prayer: “Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges, and indifference by which He is offended. By the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and [the intercession of] the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners.”   Our Lady's Peace Plan, op cit., p. 2.

R. I read this and I knew that the Blue Books were the answer to the angel’s plea at Fatima. For all they talk about is the tabernacle –
 

It is in the Cross We Will be Raised to New Life - December 27, 1995 continues

R. This is the greatest agony I have experienced over the rejection and indifference given to Him by His chosen ones. We were called to the Catholic faith - it is a great honor to be baptized and receive divine life! Election to be called a Catholic, election to receive the Holy Eucharist, our First Communion!

The thorns around His Heart are for the indifference and rejection given to Him. Think of it, to give Himself to us in the deepest intimacy and be rejected by us creatures. His Heart filled with love - He is Love Himself - and He is rejected by many of His Catholic elect!

end of excerpt

3. R. This is the Mass Book that He wants out and I write, “I cried so hard at Immaculata under the cross and by the Lourdes Grotto because I so deeply wanted to love God who is worthy of all my love. I cried because I loved  God so much and want to give Him great love. In Mary’s heart I can love Him more. She loves Him more than any human person. Her heart is pure and sinless. I want to unite to Him in deepest love."

Jesus: My beloved ones, I am asking you to help to get this Mass Book to the readers.  I am asking you, with your prayers and all your help, to get this book to the hands of the priests.

4. R. Jesus poured out His Heart, literally blood and water poured out of His Heart. He gives to us His Heart this day in the Holy Eucharist and He is rejected. How hard it is when we pour out our hearts to someone we love, when we give love and we are rejected by those we want to love so much. This is the hardest to endure.

    Jesus, who is love, gives His all. This magnificent Heart of love gives Himself to us in the Holy Eucharist and look how He is treated by those He loves. It is only in consecration that people will be able to see the light. It is in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, through the Priestly Newsletter, that the priests will consecrate their hearts and that they will see then what God is telling them.

    Mary told us at Fatima we must give our hearts to her. It is in giving our hearts to her that the Holy Spirit works and gives us lights that we see with vision, otherwise, we are like blind men. The earth is blind. Men are blind and deaf because they have disobeyed the Fatima message.

    Mary appears on a bank. Everything is in order. Mary’s Message, the rosary, all of the Shepherds of Christ materials, the prayers, everything to turn the world to consecration, to consecrate their hearts. The Church, the Family, the Schools. We must make the connection - Mary has appeared on this building – it is in this connection that will greatly bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart with the completion of the Fatima message, for she said, “until a sufficient number consecrate their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, you will not have peace in this world.” 

5. R. Peace? They will not even see the light. That is the thing, that they will not even see what they are missing for they are disobeying Mary and they do not see unless they consecrate their hearts. So it is our job to go out and spread the consecration.

    As John said, “she is the Ark of the Covenant.” It is as if Mary’s heart is the Ark and as we go to the Ark, we will be saved from the flood as in Noah. Only those in the ark survived. In this day and age only those who go to her heart will be saved from the whims of the devil, for she said in the messages how she would smite the devil for her children of light. We must go to her heart so that we are not attacked by the devil. 

6. R. It is in carrying His cross in our hearts, accepting the thorns in life, graciously outpouring our abundant love to Him, that we ease the pain by the piercing thorns that surrounded His Heart all through the bitter Passion.

    Let us help make reparation to these adorable Hearts in the Sacrament of His greatest love, the Holy Eucharist. It is there we can greater love Them when we are united to Him in deepest love.

7. R. We look at Jesus' wounds, we see His side, wide open, gapping open, and we know truly that He held nothing back. The blood poured out from all of His wounds and His body. He asks us to give our all, to love when we are laughed at and knocked to the ground, to love always, to not close up and to protect ourselves. He did not close up the wounds. He walked on with the cross on His back. No one stitched Him up. His arms were occupied with the cross. He bled on the ground. Then, He stretched out His arms and He hung on the cross with open wounds.

8.  Hail Mary
9.  Hail Mary
l0. Hail Mary

 

Jesus Dies on the Cross 

R. Mary stood beneath the cross of her Son and she cried. She cried for the little ones that would lose their souls for their willfulness, and for those that would go to the pits of hell and she looked up at her Son and she saw how He gave His life so souls could be saved. Mary cries out, “Oh, children of light, you must give your heart to my Son.” 

1. Mary: For the time is nigh and many will be lost. I am Mary, your Mother. I am calling you, my beloved children of light, to go to Florida to connect this apparition with my message, to help me to circulate this message to the world. This is my message. I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried. I appeared, I appeared, I appeared, I appeared. I appeared at the Falmouth farm and I appeared at Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center and I appeared as Our Lady of Light in the Sorrowful Mother statue. And they ignored me and they would not listen. And so today, I appear on a building in Florida and my message is given on the tape to all. Will you help me circulate this tape? I appeared, I appeared, I appeared and I am ignored.

2. R. There is a man on a cross and He does not speak a word, but He gave to us twenty books of messages. Jesus is helping us see the Scriptures. Jesus wants to lead people deeply into His Heart. These messages are given from God to the world, He asks us to spread them.

3. R. Jesus has called you here and you have responded, but I have been turned upside down and inside out. I have been studied and I have been told what is wrong with me. They have tried to block every message that I have written because they do not want to obey the message which states clearly that He will Reign on His throne in the tabernacle, when we circulate these messages. Come to the Tabernacle. The King will be King of those hearts that go to Him as He sits on His throne, but the devil tried to block these messages and it has greatly affected the progress of the Reign of His Heart. 

4. R. It is as if I delve so deeply into Their emotions. It is not suffering, it is immense joy in that I am one with Them. At this time I can recall all of those experiences. On Monday night, the Mass for Don’s wife, I was so “one” in the experience of Mary’s suffering over her children. I don’t care who is around, I am lost totally in knowing what she was allowing me to experience. I am on the other side in such oneness with Them and I know They are telling me far better than words by the experiences They are allowing me to suffer. I cry her tears as she speaks. “I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried for the little ones that would lose their souls.” 

5. R. Tonight I knew in every cell in my body how the greatest thing I could do on this earth is to love God. I know to such a great extent when I am on the other side how He deserves this love and my whole being wants to render to Him this love. I partake in a union with Him that is far beyond words. 

6. R. So our Divine God gives to us this great gift and He is giving to us the greatest graces to join in the deepest union with Him. On December 15, 1995, I had such an experience and this is what I wrote on the 18th: "The place Jesus took me was into the deepest recesses of His Heart. I was enveloped in His burning love. It was a red room with heat and an intense glow. I was swept away in this embrace, and I only existed in Him. The power of the Almighty God enveloped me, and I only existed in Him. There was no fear, for I was existent in this Almighty Being. My heart was wrapped in the eternal embrace of this Supreme Being. The security, the power I know was His deep presence in which I existed. I knew the room was red and warm. I knew His immenseness, but I felt my own completeness in Him. I did not feel little, as a speck, but elevated and empowered for I existed then in Him in a most special way."

    I was not afraid. I was totally enveloped by His love. This is how it was today in the Eucharist. I could not even get up from the chair when it was over, for the power of the Almighty God enveloped my whole being and I could do nothing but cry. I could not stand. I had His presence inside of me, and I could hardly walk.

    I do not comprehend His great power. This is reality. He is speaking to us. God is more powerful than the sun. Jesus came and died on the cross for love of us and He is asking us to carry these messages to the far corners of the earth.

    What we do here, with the Mass Book I hold in my lap, will make the difference to millions and millions on how they attend Mass. The grace will be outpoured and the earth will be filled with the greatest light from consecrated priests celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. 

7. R. We thank You, God, for these great gifts given to us and for the union that we have with one another, for we truly do have hearts of love. We share in such depth with one another. This is a great gift. We are not talking about the shoestrings and the wash, and the food and the toilet paper–we are sharing what burns in our heart, the love of God! This is a great grace that He has given to us, that we can unite in such oneness with each other and unite to Him. 

8. Jesus: And I came to you, My beloved ones. I came to you in a stable in Bethlehem, in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and I left on a cross. And I give to you this day Myself in the Eucharist. I want to be so close to you and I want you to love Me. I want you to love Me too, to tell Me how much you love Me, and I want you to spread this love to the world. Look at the world. They reject Me and they do not even recognize Me.

9. Song: Mary's Song

10. Jesus: You see through the eyes of Mary. You hear her voice. For I give to you these great gifts to share with this world. I am Jesus and I am asking you to carry these messages to the far ends of the earth, for what you do will make the difference to millions and millions of souls. I have called you today and you have responded. You are My core group that I have called to spread the message of My burning love to the world.

Song: Mary's Song

R. Mary stood beneath the cross of her Son and there Mary is, and Mary cried for the little ones that would lose their souls.

Song: See the Eyes that Look at Mary

November 4, 2013

Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive and I am ignored and forgotten.  It is through these messages that men will turn their hearts to hearts of love.  They will know Me and they will know My love.  You must carry these messages to the far corners of the earth.
