                R. ABOUT Relationship!

                Love

                Relationship is about focusing on the other
                    and being united with them –

                Relationship is about gratitude –

                Letting go of demanding your selfish way
                    and seeing the beauty of God in
                    others.

                Relationship is seeing love –
                    in a family
                    a family of six children, getting along –
                    supporting mom and dad –
                    grateful to God for their blessings –

                Seeing a home –
                Not too fancy, but love in every room
                    where there is unique things each
                    enjoys –

                Relationship is love
                Relationship is supporting the other

                A husband said of his sister-in-law
                    "she is the best, she has ever been"
                    he has grown in his relationship
                    with not only his wife, but her family –

                Relationship is about seeing out –
                Relationship is about reaching out –
                Relationship is about being thankful to God
                    for the blessings of relationship
                    and love –

                Relationship is unity –
                Relationship is a blessing –

                Man was called by God to walk hand-in-hand.

                God looks to the earth –
                God wants to see people who are in
                    relationship – loving each other –
                    trying to live to be more perfected
                    individuals as God wants and
                    more in unity with those God
                    has called them to be with,
                    live with, neighbors, workers,
                    at worship etc. –

                God is LOVE –

                We see God and God as the source –

                The mind and heart of Christ –

                We see through the eyes of God –
                We see through the eyes of the Father –

                We seek reality –
                Reality is in the mind of God –
                Perfection is in God –

                We seek more and more pure truth –

                God's plan for us, for the world –

                We seek Absolute truth –

                There is no guile in us –
                There is no deception in us –

                We stand before God naked and know
                    we hide nothing from God –
 

January 5, 1997

R. On January 5, 1997, I was wakened by Our Lord and He was mumbling as He was around my bed as He did on October 8, 1997, when He delivered the "Seedless, Barren, No Fruit on the Vine" message.

I heard Him and He repeated the words over and over again. I had a copy of the all-night message on the floor, I jumped from the bed and began to write around the message, for it was the only paper available and He was speaking very plainly and direct. I wrote this message in the margins of the paper. He kept repeating "BABY, BARE BABY, LAID BARE".

Jesus:  Open yourself, Oh Jerusalem, your time is come you will be a light to the people in darkness, many will walk whence you come and the earth will be shakened and the light will come across a dark sky and enlighten their minds.

Oh stiff-necked people, you are so stiff in your ways, let the spirit envelope you and lead you on your way.

A country of stiffs, a people of planning and prodding, of deliberating and wonderingyou lack faith, Jerusalem, you lack faith in God.

Oh walk naked into the cold night, you are cold in your hearts and naked in your clothingI cloth you with glory, I light your face with light, but you turn your cheeks to the darkness and stay stiff-necked in your hearts. Oh cold and dark hearts, reach for the light that you may know the glory that awaits the sinners and enlightens their minds.

                R. The more we see our plan, our mind, first
                    and try to make up the world around
                    us – the more it is from our
                    imperfections - our desires –
                    a world of make - believe

                We seek reality, we see more and more through
                    the eyes of God –
                    We seek reality from the plan of the
                        Heavenly Father – the Creator – who
                        made us to know, love and serve Him –

                Reality is in God – in His Plan - in His vision –

                We seek truth –

                Jesus, the Son of God, said
                    I am the way, the truth and the life!

                We follow Jesus.

                We don't make our way planning and
                    prodding as God the Father said
                    in messages and being willful –
                    We are obedient to God!

                We deceive others when we run a
                    religious institution and try to
                    force our will on other men –

                God is love –
                God is love –
                God is love –

               

                Jesus said: Read 3 times.

Picture of the Sacred Heart of JesusI Call You to Do My Will-Do You Answer?

April 25, 1994

R. I can't judge what His Will is for me by your behavior. I have to decide what He is calling me to do by whatever He is saying to me. If the whole world does one thing but He is telling me something else, I have to do His Will. You have your commands to follow from Him; I have mine.

If you choose to do something, but He tells me to do something else, I cannot get angry at you. I must love you where you are and pray for you. I am not the judge; I am not the jury; I am to spread His love. Always love nothing short of how He loved all. He did not condemn. He spoke about love; He spoke the truth. He is the Way, He is the Life, He is the Truth. His truth He makes known to us in His word, in our hearts, in these letters. I can choose His way or my own way. His ways He makes clear.

It is up to me to choose my will or His Will. Doing His Will is His Will. Many times it is not doing what I like at first, but He knows exactly what I need. Doing His Will is the way to live in harmony. He knows all things. Do I pick and choose and do my will or His Will? I know what He is calling me to do. Maybe I don't like it.

Writing these letters will not make me popular. Many do not want to love as He asks, give up their food, give up their pleasure, love everyone, even people they don't want to love, stop getting angry, get rid of self. "Oh," you say, "what fun is that?"

                R. We must bring the truth of God to others –
                    not try to manipulate in any way –
                    our plan –

                God has a plan –
                    We don't want to add any more distortion
                        of vision in the world to try to implement
                        our own plan –

                God has a plan for us in our lives, when He
                    brought us to this earth –
                    A plan for us in salvation history –
                    Even a person who is confined to a
                    wheelchair, has Parkinson's,
                    can be major in helping to bring
                    down grace during their lives
                    for the world, the Church –
                    the saints who helped build up
                    the Church through their lives –

                Suffering is seen in the life of Christ – 

Isaiah 42: 1-7

Here is my servant whom I uphold,
my chosen one
   in whom my soul delights.
I have sent my spirit upon him,
he will bring fair judgement to the nations.
He does not cry out or raise his voice,
his voice is not heard in the street;
he does not break the crushed reed
or snuff the faltering wick.
Faithfully he presents fair judgement;
he will not grow faint,
   he will not be crushed 
until he has established
   fair judgement on earth,
and the coasts and islands
   are waiting for his instruction.
Thus says God, Yahweh,
who created the heavens
    and spread them out,
who hammered into shape the earth
    and what comes from it,
who gave breath to the people on it,
and spirit to those who walk on it:
I, Yahweh, have called you
   in saving justice,
I have grasped you by the hand
   and shaped you;
I have made you a covenant of the people
and light to the nations,
to open the eyes of the blind,
to free captives from prison,
and those who live in darkness
    from the dungeon.

     

Isaiah 50: 4-9

Lord Yahweh has given me 
    a disciple’s tongue, 
for me to know how to give 
    a word of comfort to the weary. 
Morning by morning 
    he makes my ear alert 
to listen like a disciple. 
Lord Yahweh has opened my ear 
and I have not resisted, 
I have not turned away. 
I have offered my back 
    to those who struck me, 
my cheeks to those 
    who plucked my beard; 
I have not turned my face away 
from insult and spitting. 
Lord Yahweh comes to my help, 
this is why insult has not touched me, 
this is why I have set my face like flint 
and know that I shall not 
    be put to shame. 
He who grants me saving justice is near! 
Who will bring a case against me? 
Let us appear in court together! 
Who has a case against me? 
Let him approach me! 
Look, Lord Yahweh is coming 
    to my help! 
Who dares condemn me? 
Look at them, all falling apart
like moth-eaten clothes!

   

                R. What is really real, truth, is found
                    in God –

                God is the source for our lives –

                Seeing through the mind and heart of Christ –

                Seeing things as they really are –
                    IN GOD!!

                We block God's plan when we try to
                    force our way in people's lives –

                We block the way God will use them in
                    the lives of other's lives when we
                    try to force them to do our will –

                We have the old stories of the family
                    business –
                    where a child was forced by the
                    parent –
                    A child has a purpose by God –
                    We are to help them to see God as
                    the source of determining their
                    lives –

                See how important Christ's life was in
                    Salvation History

                See Mary in salvation History –

                See St. Joseph in salvation History

                I see Fr. Carter and his works are
                    so important today.

                R. Fr. Carter always said, if a boy had a
                    vocation and the parents tried to
                    block it – then when he became
                    of age –
                    the son had to do what God called
                        him too –

                We see St. Francis –
                    he gave up everything –
                    his father didn't like his son's plan –
                    his father didn't want God's plan for Francis –

                Children are children of God –
                    We bring them into the world,
                    But God has a plan for their lives,

                We see our lives through the mind of God,
                    We live God's Plan for us –

                We see saints who died a brutal death –

                The Church was built up by the
                    blood of the saints –

                God the Father gave His Son –
                    Jesus died on the cross –

                When Peter tried to persuade Jesus to
                    not go to Jerusalem –
                    Jesus told him
                        "Satan get behind Me"

                Jesus lived the Plan of the Heavenly Father –

                Jesus intends us to see through the
                    eyes and mind of our Heavenly Father –

                We are dependent on the mind of God –

                We must see things as they
                    really are – in God –
                    this is reality –

                Children read stories in their children's books of
                    fantasy –
                    they see Cinderella etc. –
                    they see the step-mother trying
                        to block Cinderella –

                If we made up our own story of our
                    life and tried to put it out there
                    and make others fit in –
                    It is going away from the
                    reality of God's Plan for us –

                The Source of a vocation is God –

                The way we live our lives is we
                    seek God's purpose for our lives –

                In a vocation there is sacrifice –

                God the Father gave His only Son - the Son of God –

                A child comes from the womb of the mother –
                    from their birth – there is the letting go
                    to what God's purpose is for that
                    child –

                The religious life is not a life of doing
                    one's own will –
                    the religious life is a life of giving
                    oneself in sacrifice –

                Here is what Fr. Carter, S.J. said in his Priestly Newsletter.
 

Priestly Newsletter Book II - September/October 1997

Scriptural Reflections

In all this Mary offers an example. Selfishness was totally foreign to her. She did not belong to herself. She belonged to God. She was not closed in upon herself. She was completely open to God. When God spoke, she listened. When God pointed the way, she followed. She realized that life is not a process a person masters by carefully mapping out one's own self-conceived plans of conquest, but a mystery to be gradually experienced by being open to God's personal and loving guidance.

Selfishness, then, did not close Mary off from God's call. Neither did fear. God asked her to assume a tremendous responsibility. He asked her to be the Mother of Jesus. Mary did not engage in a process of false humility and say that such a great role was above her. She did not say that she did not have the proper qualifications for this awesome mission. Briefly, she did not waste time looking at herself, making pleas that she was not worthy, telling the angel he had better go look for someone else. No, Mary did not look at herself. Her gaze was absorbed in God. She fully realized that whatever God asked of her, His grace would accomplish. She fully realized that although she herself had to cooperate, this work was much more God's than hers.

Mary's words, then, truly sum up what is the authentic Christian response at any point of life, in any kind of situation: "I am the handmaid of the Lord," said Mary, "let what you have said be done to me".

 

                R. Religious life, Fr. Carter says, is a life of
                    renunciation – of letting go of self –
                    like Mary –
                    Mary belonged to God –

                Jesus was crucified – He did His Father's will –

                Man comes with a wounded human nature –
                    A man has to always fight the
                    tendencies of the wounded human
                    nature of pride, anger, jealousies,
                    envy, slothfulness, greed, gluttony
                    and lust –

                A religious is to show to the world a more
                    and more perfected life of living
                    in virtue, of living as the Spouse
                    of Jesus, of living self-lessly –

                Why, because it is seeing one's life like
                    Mary –
                    through the eyes of the Heavenly Father –

                The community is the family in religious
                    life – there is greater love to
                    serve – as God has called a religious
                    one of turning one's life over to
                    a superior and living with others
                    as God has called and being
                    one in that community under
                    poverty, chastity and obedience –

                It isn't about a self-will –
                    where one plans to run things –
                    it's about service –
                    it's about sacrifice –
                    it's about dying to oneself to serve
                        the Church as the Spouse of Jesus

                The religious is interested in the Plan of
                    the Father - first – serving the
                    Church –
                    praying before the Blessed Sacrament for
                        the Church and the world –

                Being the Spouse of Jesus

 

 


 

                R. God has a plan –

                God the Father sacrificed His only
                    Son –

   

John 3: 16

For this is how God loved the world:
he gave his only Son,
so that everyone who believes in him 
    may not perish
but may have eternal life.

   

January 2, 1999

Mary: I am Our Lady of Snows. I come to cover the earth with a soft white blanket of my love.

I come to bring peace to the earth. I tell you to let go of the anxiety in your heart and experience my peace and His love.

I am your heavenly Mother. I come to hold you and caress you and take you to my Immaculate Heart.

 

 

  

 

                R. A religious loves and serves, gives their
                    life in sacrifice for God –
                    It is dying to self –


 

Prayer for Union with Jesus

Come to me, Lord, and possess my soul. Come into my heart and permeate my soul. Help me to sit in silence with You and let You work in my heart.

    I am Yours to possess. I am Yours to use. I want to be selfless and only exist in You. Help me to spoon out all that is me and be an empty vessel ready to be filled by You. Help me to die to myself and live only for You. Use me as You will. Let me never draw my attention back to myself. I only want to operate as You do, dwelling within me.

    I am Yours, Lord. I want to have my life in You. I want to do the will of the Father. Give me the strength to put aside the world and let You operate my very being. Help me to act as You desire. Strengthen me against the distractions of the devil to take me from Your work.

    When I worry, I have taken my focus off of You and placed it on myself. Help me not to give in to the promptings of others to change what in my heart You are making very clear to me. I worship You, I adore You and I love You. Come and dwell in me now.

-God's Blue Book, January 17, 1994

     

                R. A religious may not even realize,
                    like Betty, how their lives are
                    helping the Church and the world
                    in building up the Church –

                A wealth of grace, being outpoured
                    as a fountain on the world
   


 

                R. We have a duty and a calling in our
                    life to serve God as seen through
                    the eyes of our Heavenly Father –
                    in the way
                    in the place
                    God the Father wants us

                There are many vocations to serve
                    God and many places He wants us to be.

                Doing God's will is not being in
                    Florida when He called us
                    to Europe –

                Mary went where God called her
                    Bethlehem
                    Egypt
                    Under the Cross

                Mary was the perfect handmaid of the Lord!

                A child belongs to God –

                Every person has a plan through the
                    Father's eyes –

   

From the Priestly Newsletter

Cardinal Newman said

                    "... everyone who breathes, high and low,
                    educated and ignorant, young and old, man and woman,
                    has a mission, has a work. We are not sent
                    into this world for nothing; we are not born at
                    random. . . God sees every one of us;
                    He creates every soul, He lodges it in
                    a body, one by one, for a purpose. He needs,
                    He deigns to need, every one of us.
                    He has an end for each of us... we are
                    placed in our different ranks and stations, not to
                    get what we can out of them for ourselves, but to
                    labor in them for Him, as He rejoiced to do His work,
                    we must rejoice in ours also.
"
                                   
(Discourses addressed to mixed congregations)


                R. Children are to be loved not out of
                    self-love, but as seen as
                    God wants them for His purpose.

                God's plan is seen through the
                    eyes of the Heavenly Father –
                    not through human scheming to
                    get our will –

                The devil is at work in one trying to
                    impose on another their plan
                    for an adult child's life –

                Whenever God calls us to a vocation
                    in life we see how important
                    that call is. Parents have children,
                    children marry and have more children
                    usually, those children have children
                    and so - on and so - on –

                God has a plan for salvation history –

                We see how Christ came from the
                    House of David –

                We see David so many years before
                    Christ was born – we see
                    willfulness even in the life of
                    David –

                Who are we to plan and prod and act like we
                    should scheme to work in any
                    vocation –
                    once a child becomes of age –

                We see Mary and the plan of God to
                    bring the sinless virgin into this
                    world.

                We see the barrenness of Elizabeth and that
                    she conceived John the Baptist –

                We see the barrenness of Rachel and
                    then she brought forth Joseph and
                    Benjamin and
                    their role in salvation history.

                We see Pope John Paul II came when he
                    did in Poland and his
                    mother died when he was young
                    and his brother died.

                We see the Plan of God in families,
                    We see the perfection of God's plan,
                        despite the willfulness of many.

                My mom and Fr. Joe's mom died when I
                    was 5 – this affected our lives –

                We see the battle in which St. Ignatius
                    hurt his leg and how it has
                    affected us in the Shepherds of Christ –

                I see this message July 31, 1994.

July 31, 1994

Words of Jesus to Members of
Shepherds of Christ Associates:

"My beloved priest-companion, I intend to use the priestly newsletter, Shepherds of Christ, and the movement, Shepherds of Christ Associates, in a powerful way for the renewal of My Church and the world.

"I will use the newsletter and the chapters of Shepherds of Christ Associates as a powerful instrument for spreading devotion to My Heart and My Mother's Heart.

"I am calling many to become members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. To all of them I will give great blessings. I will use them as instruments to help bring about the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. I will give great graces to the members of Shepherds of Christ Associates. I will call them to be deeply united to My Heart and to Mary's Heart as I lead them ever closer to My Father in the Holy Spirit."

- Message from Jesus to Father Edward J. Carter, S.J., Founder, as given on July 31, 1994,
feast of Saint Ignatius Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus (The Jesuits)

  

                R. Our Lady was appearing to me this very day –
                    Fr. Carter was there at the apparition.

                I saw Mary – almost every day from
                    July 5, 1994 – September 5, 1995
                    except for about 3 times when I
                    was late –

                Then Our Lady appeared like this in
                    Clearwater –
   

December 19, 1996 

Mary: My dear children, I give to you, my Son, Jesus, born in a stable in Bethlehem on Christmas morn. He is the Almighty God, the Light of the World.

    I appear to you, my children, on a (former) bank in Florida. You have made money your god! Do you know how cold are your hearts? You turn away from my Son, Jesus, for your money. Your money is your god.

    I am Mary, your Mother. I do not appear as I once appeared to you. I am asking you today to circulate my message given on a tape on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996. Please circulate this tape now. Give it to as many people as you can. I am Mary, your Mother. Please circulate my Rosary Book.

                R. And we have the building in Clearwater –

                Mary appeared to me October 2, 2014 and November 2, 2014.

 

                Excerpt from October 5, 2014

                Mary: 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.

end of excerpt


                Excerpt from November 3, 2014

                R. If we really live and
                focus on the presence of God
                who dwells in us, Mary says
                we cannot help but have joy.
                Oh and she appeared in such joy
                November 2, 2014. She said to laugh,
                to have the joy of knowing God
                dwelling in us.

                    Even in suffering, Jesus
                knew joy. Jesus is love.
                Jesus loved. Jesus sacrificed
                in love for you and for me.

                    Mary said to have a
                joyful heart even in suffering,
                a joyful heart when we are
                weary, a joyful heart because
                of God who dwells IN US.

 

                Excerpt from November 5, 2014

                R. When I began this retreat
                    November 2, 2014 –
                    Mary appeared to me in
                    Clearwater –
                    Smiling for 2 hours –
                    She said we should laugh –

November 4, 2013

                R. She said if we dwell in her
                    Heart and Jesus' Heart we
                    will have joy –

                Joy is in Their Hearts –

                Fr. Carter called it "Our little
                    heaven on earth"

                end of excerpt

 

                R. Our job is to spread the Good News –

                There are so many people who are
                    Catholic and aren't living
                    their Catholic faith –

                There are so many of their children
                    not baptized –

                A woman on the plane said to me
                    when I asked her if she was
                    Catholic
                    "no I'm Episcopalian, it's the Catholic
                    Faith in the light –
                    without the guilt of the Catholics –
                    without all those Hail Marys"

                Mary appears on the 5th because of the 5 blasphemies
                    against Mary.
 

                Excerpt from the Mass Book 

MARY OUR MOTHER - December 5, 1995 (excerpt)

She has asked us to make the first Saturday devotion. Sr. Lucia ask Our Lord why there were five first Saturdays.

He revealed to her:

My daughter, the reason is simple. There are five types of offenses and blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary:
1. Blasphemies against the Immaculate Conception.
2. Blasphemies against Her Perpetual Virginity.
3. Blasphemies against Her Divine Maternity, in refusing at the same time to recognize Her as the Mother of men.
4. The blasphemies of those who publicly seek to sow in the hearts of children indifference or scorn, or even hatred of this Immaculate Mother.
5. The offenses of those who outrage Her directly in Her holy images.

                R. Mary appeared at Fatima 1917
                    and we still have not lived what
                    she said.
  

Excerpt from The Spirituality of Fatima

by Fr. Edward Carter, S.J.

July 13, 1917

    "During her appearance in July, Our Lady, in answer to Lucia's plea, promised that in October she would work a great miracle so that all might believe and know who she was. Again, the Mother of God told the children to sacrifice themselves for sinners and to say many times, especially when making a sacrifice, this prayer: "O my Jesus, I offer this for love of Thee, for the conversion of poor sinners, and in reparation for all the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary." (11)

    "During this same July apparition, Mary showed the three children a vision of Hell. She told them:

    "You have seen Hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them, God wishes to establish, in the world, devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace.

    "The war (World War I, then raging) is going to end. But if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light [January 2, 1938], know that this is the great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger, and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father. (12)

    "To prevent this, I shall come to ask for the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the Communion of Reparation on the five first Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecutions of the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will have much to suffer, and various nations will be destroyed....

    "But in the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph, the Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me, Russia will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world." (13)

 11. For background material on Fatima, I am particularly indebted to

                From Fatima Peace Plan — Tan Books p.4-5. 

July 13, 1917

THE CHILDREN SEE HELL

    As she spoke these words, Our Lady stretched out her hands, and bright rays came forth which seemed to penetrate into the earth. All at once the ground vanished, and the children found themselves standing on the brink of a sea of fire. As they peered into this dreadful place, the terrified youngsters saw huge numbers of devils and damned souls. The devils resembled hideous black animals, each filling the air with despairing shrieks. The damned souls were in their human bodies and seemed to be brown in color, tumbling about constantly in the flames and screaming with terror. All were on fire within and without their bodies, and neither devils nor damned souls seemed able to control their movements. They were tossing about in the flames like fiery coals in a furnace. There was never an instant's peace or freedom from pain.

                        end of excerpt 

   

                R. On September 1, 1939
                    World War II started
                    66,000,000 people were killed –
                    It was a World War –

                We have a lot of chiefs –
                    lets do what Mary and Jesus are
                    telling us –

                Study and live the messages and
                    Follow God's Plan.
   

 

 

   

                R. We see the virtues in the saints lives.

                Many were martyred.
