R. Dear Heavenly Mother help us to have
peace and unity on this earth.
Mary: I am the Queen of Peace.
Unity is to be found where people live the
Gospel as Jesus has given to you.
Unity is to be found as men desire unity
and not selfishness in their hearts.
A man is given his life from God, the
Creator, to do good, to love God first
and to love his neighbor as himself.
Love is the answer, being like Jesus,
who loved you so much, Jesus died
for your sins.
Love is giving.
Love is focusing on the building of the
Kingdom of God.
A man can spend his whole life thinking
he is not good enough and not
seeing the gift God has given to him
in creating him and his responsibility
before God of furthering God's Kingdom.
Song: Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God
A man is a gift God gives.
He is to live to further the Kingdom of God –
He is to live to spend his life growing in
the image and likeness of God.
Jesus, so loved you, He came and He lived
on the earth to teach you how to
be likened to Him –
You are to follow Jesus' footsteps –
You are to walk as Jesus taught you –
You are to live to serve God, to love
God, to know God –
You are called to be servants of God.
You are to seek unity among your brothers
and to have commitment to your
vocation in life.
I loved the Father's will –
I lived the Father's will –
I loved God in my life as a little
child of my Father, the Mother of
Jesus and the Spouse of the Holy Spirit –
I am the singular vessel –
I show you my Immaculate Heart –
You, as handmaids of Jesus, are to live
your life to be pure in heart –
I am Mary, the Immaculate Heart –
I give you my heart to come and dwell
in my heart, your spiritual womb –
I am your spiritual Mother –
You are not alone –
I want you to be united to me –
I give you my love as your spiritual Mother,
I want you to pray through my powerful
intercession.
I appeared to you October 2, 2014 to teach you
about intercession through My Immaculate
Heart.
R. Mary appeared to me October 2, 2014 in
magnificent light and her beauty was
unmeasured in her faces she showed
me. There was a silence as I watched the vision –
a silence, so still in the vision, but the
handmaids and another person prayed the rosary
outside the apparition room in one voice –
it sounded very unified and strong
and sincere, but in her vision I
know a profound stillness as I
watched Mary in such enormous
light, pray, her mouth moving so
distinctly, so pronounced with them as
they prayed. I continued to watch this
for the first two decades of the rosary,
for apparitions seem to leave me
weak sometimes and then I am
wrapped in that peace of having
seen her and left listless or tired.
She prayed pronounced with them and
it looked as if in great unity with
them. Unity is the word I knew –
Unity and sincerity in their prayers
and unity of the Mother of God appearing
before me in such beauty and light –
praying in unity with them, but there
was only stillness in the apparition –
no noise.
I have an apostle rosary I place on
the Mary statue in the apparition
room and when I pray the rosary
or lead the rosary in the room
I hold that rosary many times – I lead
the beginning of every bead only with
Hail Mary and they say all the rest of
the prayer. It is a profound unity in
one voice I hear when they are
out there many times, sometimes I
feel the sound is the sound of unity
I hear that is joined by what God
is allowing me to hear, the songs I
lead are very united in perfect
voice and very angelic. The voices
perfectly synchronized and heavenly
sounding and there is absolute
stillness in the vision.
On October 2nd as they prayed and I
heard this unity from those outside the
apparition room – I saw the same
way visions of Mary change for the
20 years she has appeared to me –
Stillness and her beautiful face changes
from different faces without a noise,
so smooth as when the Monstrance
in China has changed positions –
it turns without a noise, without
any seeing it turn, it is in motion
without detectable motion of it
turning.
Mary was like this in the vision –
surrounded in light and the faces
of the Virgin different as her faces
changed, one more beautiful and
different than the other – so beautiful
and a profound response of her
answering or praying with the
prayers united outside the room –
in stillness of her response inside –
I have never seen this before – it was
at a certain point and made clear
to me – she held an invisible rosary
and her fingers were going from bead to bead
as she prayed with them.
I watched this vision for as long as I
could, then I was left weak and
sort of limp, hearing the praying outside
and continuing to just bath in a
quiet presence.
I was not focused on Jesus, but to
the left I saw light and knew His
presence in there likewise, Mary's
apparition was the focus and she was
giving this gift to us in the first day of
retreat. Many times I receive an
apparition of Mary on the 2nd
of the month and sometimes the 3rd
too, many times the 5th. It is not unusual
for me to see Mary on the 2nd.
This date to me, reminds me of the Two Hearts,
of Jesus and Mary and the calling
I receive to come do the retreat
the 2nd to the 5th in the Clearwater
building.
As I watched Mary pray more profoundly
than I ever saw with those outside and
heard such profound unity in their
prayers, although Mary looked in
complete unity with them, I wondered
if she would say
Hail Mary – to herself
Holy Mary – praying this –
I have wondered this before –
The next day I was told of Mary's powerful
intercession, when we pray and ask her
to intercede for us to God –
Mary, the Mother of God –
Mary, the pure and Immaculate Heart –
Mary, our Mother,
Intercedes to God, Our Heavenly Father,
Jesus, the Son of God and her
Spouse the Holy Spirit.
In this place heaven showed me –
how powerfully Mary prays as
an intercessor –
the perfect prayer –
the pure prayer –
a heavenly prayer of intercession
to her Son Jesus as we
know and were shown the
prayer of Mary to her Son at
the Marriage of Cana –
To you, as a messenger, I account this
experience - for never will I have such
an understanding of Mary's powerful
intercession as I have now from
this vision.
I believe God has called these retreats
in the Virgin Mary building in
Clearwater, Florida, because Mary, Queen
of Peace is so powerfully interceding
as Our Lady of Clearwater for
the priests and the Church and
the world from this place for
4 days and also as Jesus calls
me to China the 10th thru the 13th
ending on the 13th praying before
the exposed Eucharist there for the
priests, the Church and the world.
One 13th, the day before the Exultation
of the Cross in China, Indiana, I
was suffering and I saw the whole
left of the Church in yellow, beautiful
light which covered Mary's altar there
and went to the other side of the
Exposed Eucharist –
Mary appeared over that area
to the left of the Church –
The next day, the Feast of the Exultation
of the Cross – a mass of
trees split in half around the Church
in China and in Cincinnati –
trees split and branches and
trees fell and the lights went
out in these areas. My house,
the lights were out for a solid
week.
On August 13, 1996 after Mary had appeared
the entire night or morning however you
see it before I went to Tom's farm –
the Sorrowful Mother Chapel was
covered with a golden veil, the Blessed
Mother appeared and the Eucharist
was exposed – this is accounted in
Blue Book 12
R. On August 27, 1996 –
I received Mary's Message –
The message I was told 3 1/2 months
later to put on a tape on the Feast
of Our Lady of Guadalupe December 12, 1996
and pass out on December 13, 1996 on Tom's
Farm.
Jesus had appeared to me on the
cross at the point of death December 5, 1996
saying "no one was listening"
This is accounted in Blue Book 13 –
R. Mary had appeared for 2 1/2 years
on the 5ths beginning
July 5, 1994 before Jesus
appeared at the point of death
December 5, 1996.
On December 17, 1996
Mary appeared in Clearwater
on the building like this in rainbow-
color
R. On December 17, 1996 the same day –
the Red Rosary Book left
the printers with a rainbow
on it.
R. The Red Rosary Book
was directed by Jesus and Mary
to have a rainbow on it –
It included rosary meditations
from apparitions I received of
Mary, daily at Our Lady of the
Holy Spirit Center.
Here is a picture of many
5ths as Mary appeared
in Clearwater, Florida
outside under the image and
did the 5th Prayer Service

Jesus: Harken to My Call to you.
22 Years Ago
October 5, 1992 - 3:30am
R. Dear
Jesus, Give me Your hand to write this book for you. I
am your servant. I want to be Your hand to this world.
If you, Lord Jesus, would write a book, what would you
say?
Jesus:
My dear children,
Today I come to
deliver a message to each of you. I want to tell you of
each person's dignity, of their beauty and their
self-worth. Each child is, oh, so uniquely precious to
My Most Sacred Heart. Each child is full of the talents
I have given to them. Each person is divinely created by
God and given all these gifts to be happy and love one
another.
The problem comes when
you feel you will be left out. That you will be left by
another who has trodden on you and will do it again. I
see you all as My most precious children. I watch your
every move and know all pain and anguish in your heart.
My Heart aches, you have insecure feelings about
yourself. I came to this earth I died for you. I felt
cold, hungry, lonely on this earth. You need not worry
that no one knows the pain and anguish in your heart.
God created you with such special gifts and talents. It
is important for you to raise above your wound and
forgive those who hurt you.
You need only turn
your will and your life over to Me and I will guide you
in all your ways. I have all the Power. Many are not of
My ways. The key to life is to recognize your faults,
but still know you are this precious gift of My Father a
gift to this world. This world is in need of your
strength. Running yourself down, blaming others hurting
them can cause you misery and pain. At this very moment,
you are the precious creation of God!! You must operate
with Me in your heart.
You need not run
yourself down. I am with you every day guiding your
ways, lest your foot stumble and you lose your way. You
will not wander far from your path if every day you keep
bringing your focus back to Me. If you dare let Me be at
the helm, if you dare to really let Me run your life, I
will do with you such wonders that you yourself would be
amazed. But you will know with such ease when you did
these things that you did not do them alone. You will
know My power, moving the mountain, My power chipping at
the stone, My power working on your hardest problem
and you will be set free.
Oh yes, you will be
set free and know a serenity that only comes from
letting go and letting Me run your life. To you, My
child, I have given all that is good. I made you My holy
soldier, My warrior in a world of pain and hatred. You
are the light that shines in the darkness, you are the
coat to a cold child, you are the smile that warms a
troubled and lonely heart. You are the comfort for
everyone you meet, because My most precious Heart powers
you, smiles through you, understands and loves through
you.
Love your fellows for
Me. There are so many troubled hearts that need to know
My love. I can love through you if you let Me, I can be
their friend through you if you let Me. I am He who
comforts you and you are he who comforts them. My power
is endless, it never runs out, there is not a power
failure EVER. In your darkest hour, My light shines in
the darkness and I say to you, "Oh blessed of My Father,
look at yourself with awe, you are My creation, you are
indeed so precious to Me, you are My light to this
world, you are My hands and My feet and most of all My
Heart."
Oh, you are My loving
Heart, to those who are bowed down, to those who are
lost in the darkness, you carry My smile and wear My
armor in a world that is trying to tear one another down
with hate and ugliness. There is gentleness, there is
love, there is hope in you, if you open yourself up to
Me. Be My knight to the world, wear My armor. I am your
God and I will protect you from the darkness. Plug into
My power, be not afraid, I go before you always and you
can rest in My arms when you feel weary. You can put
your head in My lap and weep, you will know, I am truly
with you and you are My light to this world. I created
you so special - to cast out fear in the darkness, to
clothe the naked, to give hope to the oppressed, to be
as I live in you and love through you and you are My
smile and I touch My hurting ones through your love.
You are he who loves
this world. You must stay plugged into My power-source.
This world is hungry for My love. It
needs My love, I give to them through you. I am your God
and I made you as a gift to the world. You are filled.
Focus on Me and your
life will be abundant and whole, joy in suffering,
freedom — but you can take the knocks because you will
know you do not go it alone, but with Me. I love you My
precious child.

Pray the Rosary on the 5ths
Mary: I am Mary, your Mother. This is an
urgent call to you at the Center and the Shepherds of Christ Movement. I
have appeared as Our Lady of Light for 14 months daily at the Center. I
have given to you special rosaries to be circulated among the youth and
for all of your devout souls to be drawn closer to the Hearts of Jesus
and Mary. These rosaries are an important part of the fulfillment of
Fatima.
I have called a special rosary on the 5th of
each month in honor of the 5 wounds suffered by my Son and the 5
blasphemies suffered to my Immaculate Heart. I have called and called
for all to follow the promises given at Fatima for those who honor my
request to pray on the First Saturday of the month. I am calling out an
urgent plea to answer my call. I have appeared from April 5th, until
September 5th, at the Center, six appearances. The first rosary received
in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel was March 17th, a very important rosary,
received before the exposed Eucharist. I requested the rosary be prayed
in the presence of the tabernacle. On March 21, 1995, a special rosary
was prayed before the Pieta at the Shepherds of Christ meeting. Many of
my children saw events at that rosary. On March 30, 1995, I came in a
special way, the corner was filled with a tinted film and I was adorned
in such light and alive. At this time I requested the rosary be prayed
in the Sorrowful Mother Chapel. The rosary was prayed there for the
Shepherds of Christ meetings and many nights. This continued for six
months. On September 1st, I gave a very special rosary at 12:00 noon,
Friday, a time my Son requested that the rosary be prayed at the Center.
Rosaries were given on most Fridays at 12:00 noon. Very tender rosaries
of my Son's special love for His beloved souls. I want published a book
of these rosaries received on Friday at 12:00 noon. I want published the
first book of rosaries with all the rosaries already discerned. In this
book, you should include pictures of the windows in the Rosary Chapel,
the love songs given from my Son, Jesus, the Seven Sorrows and the
messages I have specified. The second book of rosaries should be all of
the rosaries received during the Shepherds of Christ meetings. These
rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary were given to teach chapter
members about Our lives. They are to be spread to this world. They will
lead the hearts of your members to my Heart and the Heart of my Son. A
book should be published as soon as possible for rosaries for children.
I have given many children's rosaries, and the early rosaries were given
for children. These rosaries should be used in the Junior Shepherds of
Christ Movement.
We have given to you thirteen books. Many
answers to your problems are in these books. These books, God's Blue
Book and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary are an
important tool to draw souls back to the Church. My Son is so wounded by
the indifference and neglect given to Him in the Eucharist.
The Center will light up this world, for
many of my messages and my Son's messages were received there. The
rosaries were received at the Center. The hearts of many will be filled
with the love of God when you circulate these rosaries.
I call out to you. I will continue to come
on the 5th of each month. The time was changed at Our Lady of the Woods
for I have requested that the rosary be prayed close to 6:30 p.m.
Your Center will remain divided. The funds
will come when these rosaries and love letters are circulated.
The funds for the Shepherds of Christ will
come when you circulate and publish the books and tapes. I have given to
you information about these books. My Son has requested a book of
messages given after the daily Masses. These messages will lead many to
a deep union with God during the Mass.
You are given great gifts in these messages.
Satan has confused and tried to stop these messages. These messages need
to circulate. They will lead many to God. I beg you with my motherly
Heart to please listen to me. Today is a special day, this October 5th.
This is my message to all, to help circulate these messages. Pray
earnestly for their circulation and publication. Pray for the funds to
help you circulate the books and tapes. The tapes will help many in
hospitals, nursing homes. Pray for the funding and it will come.
Many other messengers will come to confuse
the importance of these messages. SATAN wants these messages stopped.
When they are circulated, my Son will unite deeper and deeper in such
oneness with many hearts. These will be the soldiers that will carry His
love to this world. Unless these messages of His love are transmitted in
the Church, the Church will continue to suffer.
I beg you to listen. I am Mary, your Mother.
Many of my little children will go to hell. You hold personal messages
from Our Hearts and Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.
I am Mary, your Mother, and thank you for
responding to my request.
18 Years Ago
October 5, 1996
Mary:
I am Our Lady
of the Rosary. The Fatima message will unfold around the Shepherds of Christ
Movement. I am begging you, please, publish these Rosaries
from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. I appeared daily for 14 months and
delivered rosaries for the world. Why have these rosaries been held back
from this world? Souls are dropping into hell. Do you comprehend the
importance of these rosaries to the Fatima message?
I have appeared as Our Lady of Light and
Our Lady of Sorrows delivering these rosaries.
I am now delivering this message as Our
Lady of the Holy Rosary.
A great mission I give to you, my beloved
apostles in the Shepherds of Christ Movement is to live these rosaries and
spread the messages to the world. You must reach the world with these
teachings I am giving in the rosary.
On this October 5, 1996, I beg you as
your heavenly Mother to not ignore the importance of these rosaries. I have
appeared, I have begged, I have warned you. I cannot hold back the hand of
my Son any longer. His hand is struck with power.
Today is the 5th of the month, first
Saturday. I beg all to study this message and to tell all that come on
October 13th, 1996 the importance of these live rosaries and the completion
of the Fatima message.
I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. This
is the key to watching the Movement spread. I am assisting you in publishing
and circulating these rosaries. Anyone who stops the rosary messages and
meditations will deal with my Son, Jesus!
Souls are at stake and souls have been
lost because of the delays to hold back the messages in God's
Blue Book and Rosaries from the
Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Any negative references in the Movement to
these messages displeases my Son for you have been given the greatest gifts
in these revelations. I am asking all to help in the circulation of these
rosaries and messages. We are communicating to the world majorly in these
messages. The completion of the Fatima message is greatly dependent on these
messages. Do not give into Satan any longer to block these messages. You are
dealing with my Son, Jesus. This is a great gift given to the world. It
would please my Son greatly if you expressed to Him your great thanks for
the gifts He has given to you. Your answers are found in these messages.
They must be studied and recognized for the great gift they are. You were
chosen by God to deliver this message to the world. The ingratitude of many
displeases my Son greatly. It is now time for the leaders of the Movement
and all apostles to support these messages. It is now time to study the
content in its entirety. You are missing the key directions because you do
not even read the messages.
I am Mary, your Mother. You will be
rewarded with the funds needed when you publish these messages and rosaries.

couple) was granted a son, which now is my godson. They've been
married for a long time but never had a child until they both came
to see the Virgin Mary's image. 8/4/2007
5. I just wanted to tell
you we have had so many prayers answered most especially since we
have had the image statue in our home a few months ago. Prayers
being miraculously answered for our children & grandchildren, our
daughter's heart has literally almost healed ... she is also
pregnant and that is also a miracle that she carried the baby this
far, she is so thankful and also her cardiologist can't figure out
how she is doing so well, and even agreed with her it must be
prayers being said for her. He also told her in her 4th month to
abort the baby, maybe he will have a conversion, we hope. Others in
my family have changed since we got the statue. They are more
understanding and patient and love being a Catholic more than ever
before ...We thank Jesus, Mary, Rita and you all. Praise all of
heaven. We are also so eager to have many more prayers answered. We
are giving our married children a 10 inch statue each for their
homes and red prayer manual if they would also like to say the
prayers if they so choose to. The statue we know will help them with
many graces as they pray before it as it has helped us in our home
and lives. Love you all. 8/3/2007

started using Jesus' water and started feeling better (He could
hardly walk, he was using a wheelchair a lot). He went back to the
doctor and tests showed no more cancer — gone! The doctor told him
he never saw this happen before. He is around 70 years old and walks
and feels normal. 2006

14. This woman filled out
a healing form at the site. I am so blessed by the Blessed Mother
that she has been there for me on more than several occasions. She
performed a miracle on all occasions, one in particular was cancer
of the right leg. The doctors wanted to cut my leg off the cancer
was in the bone. When I returned to New York and went to a plastic
surgeon he saw the cat scan and said my chances weren't good. When

another surgery was needed but thanks to Jesus water on Wednesday on
that same week he was healed. - Argentina 7/2/2006

A friend of ours who we visit from Canada. He told us of his illness

22. Pregnancy. I could
not become pregnant. I came here to ask Mary to extend her hands on
me, to be able to have a child. The miracle happened. I did not know
that other women had become pregnant by asking Mary. My son is 3
years old. I am convinced that he is called to be special in his
life, he has a mission. When she went to see the doctor,
specialists, they said forget it, she couldn't have a baby, and she
went to many different ones. Came here to pray and became pregnant.
All the doctors never understood what had happened. They said he is
a miracle child. 3/8/2006
23. Pregnancy. Became
pregnant of twin girls after we prayed in 2005 and even have a
statue of the Virgin Mary in our yard. After 15 years of concubinage
Virgin Mary finally blessed us. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Jesus water
was used to help conceive. 2/2/2006
24. A woman came in today
from New York and said she was here last March (2005) and got the
Jesus water. Her cousin who was very healthy and had just retired at
age 60 suffered a massive stroke. He was taken to the best
neurological hospital in New York and the doctors said he had no
chance of recovery. He had a blood clot at the base of his brain
stem. He was in intensive care and the woman with the other family
members were visiting him and she put Jesus water on him and they
prayed over him, while he was laying in bed in a fetal position
unable to talk was paralyzed. After she had left (only 30 minutes of
visitation in Intensive Care) the woman received a call from her
cousin's wife saying the man had sat up in bed after they left and
was miraculously healed. He is back at home now. The doctors came in
and said this was a miracle. This was 2 months ago. 1/24/2006
25. Dermatomyositis (a
form of Muscular Dystrophy). I was given 6 months to live. I was
really depressed ready to give up when, while being in town for my
girlfriends niece's Christmas Party. I heard it on the news.
(December 17, 1996) Decided why not let's go, when I got here I was
not expecting to see what I saw. I couldn't believe what I saw.
Within an hour I put the cane down, slowly but surely got better
enough where I wasn't paralyzed or dead. Thank you Jesus and Mary.

lbs. My mother came to visit me. We used to live in the post
apartments by Target. I brought my Mother to the Virgin Mary
Building in Clearwater and she prayed for my niece, who was in
Guatemala. When my Mother returned to Guatemala she took the picture
of Virgin Mary and put it in my niece's room. When my niece was
born, she needed a tube feeding. She couldn't eat on her own. She
was very thin and very sick. Many people told my sister and my
mother (including the doctors) that my niece was so sick that she
probably would died. Thank to our Lady Virgin Mary, my niece is a
healthy gifted 9 year old girl. - Guatemala - Healing was at 6
months old. 11-22-2005

Egypt. His relatives came to the site and asked for prayers for
healing for him. That same day they were here he was completely
healed of his Liver virus. He is a physician. 8/31/2005
30. After waiting about 8
months for the baby to get bigger for the surgery, the doctor
checked him and couldn't believe it, but she said, "It just fixed
itself." He was 4 months premature and this surgery would have
lowered his sperm count significantly and its already been lowered
by a double inguinal hernia surgery. 6-14-2005
31. Burst tube with
unexpected pregnancy. Was internal bleeding. Doctor told was
miracle, surviving from this kind of operation. She (the mother) had
come to the site and prayed to God if this Image (Our Lady of

was in Lithuania at the time was in the hospital and the above
miracle happened during the 2 hours the mother was praying at the

Have a bad back from laying brick for years and sometimes I bend
over and the pain is severe and it takes at least 3 or 4 or more
weeks for it to go away. I put Jesus water on it and it went away in
2 days. Alleluia. 4/16/2005
37. I must admit that
some days I forget to wash in the water. But I have felt the same
feeling once again a few days ago as I did on March 2nd, the first
time I applied it to my knees. On the movie that you took, I am
walking on the beach without a cane. I don't know if you noticed. I
didn't use the cane yesterday, and I have no pain. I'm still slow at
climbing the stairs, but I'm seeing a tremendous improvement. I'll
keep a journal, and continue updating you I pray a lot, as I'm
applying the medicine. Part of my prayer is "If it be your will."
Thank you. I'll be in touch soon. 3/11/2005
38. My husband had a good
friend and he was diagnosed with cancer and given less than a few
weeks to live. Jesus told me to take him the Jesus water. I never
really met him, but I went to the hospital. He was so sick. He
bounced up and said I knew it - I will be healed. And he lived over
two years longer. 2005
39. Leukemia went into
remission February 7, 2003. Her doctor can't believe how well she is
doing. She has the worse kind of Leukemia there is and she is doing
extremely well. He said this does not happen, so soon, we told him
its because of all the prayers, everyone is saying for her. The day
after we visited the Blessed Mother Building, her blood count was
excellent. Thank you so much. As of 11/3/2004 she is still in
remission and doing very well, a happy 10 year old little girl. We
are all so thankful for all the prayers from everyone, we truly
believe, if we hadn't had our faith and by going to the Virgin Mary
building so often, we wouldn't have been so fortunate to have her.
Prayer is still the most powerful and healing process. Thank you so
much. 11/3/2004
40. Spinal Manangitas.
December 16th, 2002 we almost lost our little grandson. He was taken
flight for life to Madison where they worked on him for hours. They
told us he would either be blind - deaf - brain damage, or he might
not walk. Today he is a happy - healthy little boy full of life.
Thanks to everyone's prayers to our Blessed Virgin and our heavenly
Father, without them we would not have him. Thank you. As of this
date November 3, 2004 our little grandson is doing very well, a
healthy happy little boy, and so full of life, and without any
complications. Our prayers and by going to the Virgin Mary building
truly helped this little boy. Thanks to everyone for all their
prayers. 11/3/2004
41. After my family visited the Virgin Mary
and returned to hospital, I showed no sign of having a
stroke. Doctors at hospital said I would not recover.
4/2001
Today’s Gospel in its story certainly points ahead to Jesus in His Passion
and death. And as we read passages such as this during the Lenten season, we
are reminded once again that the Church in her Liturgy of the Word gives us
an opportunity to undergo a purification, an ever deepening cleansing of
ourselves so that we may be a more fit instrument for receiving the great
graces which are to be given to us at the time of the Resurrection memorial
on Easter. And so all in all, Lent is a time of purification to prepare us
for ever-greater gifts of the Lord. It’s a time of self-discipline, a time
to renew our efforts to be self-disciplined in the service of the Lord.
Self-discipline is an aspect of purification. And I suggest that one of the
most difficult acts of self-discipline in the spiritual journey is to
concentrate on the present moment. We have a very strong tendency to
disregard the importance of the present moment by focusing in a wrong way on
the past or in a wrong way on the future. There are proper occasions for
thinking of the past and the future. For example, we have to learn from the
past and we have to prepare for the future, but our great emphasis has to be
upon the present. There is a Latin axiom which says, age quod agis, age
quod agis, which means: do what you are doing, concentrate on the
present. And of course we are familiar with that term in the history of
spirituality: the sacrament of the present moment. And so the discipline of
Lent certainly encourages us to include in a deeper self-discipline a
greater determination to get as much as we can out of the present moment.
People with a terminal illness have an opportunity as they prepare for death
for increased prayer, contrition, love of God. However, some are taken very,
very quickly. But for those who have the opportunity of knowing with some
certainty the time of their death, I’m sure as they look back on their
lives, they are saddened by the many times they did not use time and
opportunities for the service of the Lord properly, and are overjoyed at
those times in which they did use the present opportunity properly. A great
means we have of living in the present properly is a greater focus upon our
Lord. For if I have that awareness of the fact I am united with Jesus here and now, why should I be concerned so much
about the future or the past? Yes, a great help in living in the present and
deriving all the good we can from it for ourselves and others is an ever
greater focus upon Jesus, because the more I focus upon Jesus and the more I
live with Him in the present moment, the more I am satisfied with the present
moment. And so let us in our Lenten activity resolve to grow in that
self-discipline - which is very difficult at times - to really live in the
presence with the fullness of our being as much as is possible, with the help
of God’s grace. Now is the day of salvation. Now is the day of salvation.
