God's
Blue Book 9

The Mass and the
Hearts of Jesus
and Mary

by Rita Ring

 

       We were told to make a tape Songs and Messages on October 1, 1995. It had a little sheep on the label.

October 1, 1995

R. Love Songs and Messages from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This tape contains a message from Jesus explaining how He wants us to be ever so close to Him, how He is longing and waiting for our love. The tape also contains His love songs to us including 1) A Song from Jesus, 2) I Love You Jesus, and 3) Little Child. In a special message, the Mary Mist message, on September 5, 1995 Mary called out to her little children who are suffering so in this world.

 

October 1, 1995

I SUFFER FOR THE CHILDREN

R. I have been experiencing such sufferings to my heart. This morning, I felt as if I couldn't think of it anymore, as if there are wounds, and ridges, on my heart. He keeps giving me this intense heartache and suffering. Satan keeps distracting me with issues that cause me mental torture.

Since September 13th, I have experienced intense sufferings in my heart. He wants a burning love affair with the nuns and priests. His Heart is wounded the most by some of those He chose and loves so much.

I feel almost like I can't think of this anymore. I have had a constant aching or intense pain in my heart. I feel He is allowing me to have this to know His presence and the anguish He experienced.

I feel a ridge in my heart for the indifference and ingratitude of men around the Holy Eucharist. I know it so well-this is when He has given me the greatest sufferings over this issue. Mary showed the children of Fatima the souls suffering in hell. From this suffering, I know I should spread the tapes on His burning love.

 

October 1, 1995

EXPERIENCE THE MYSTERIES
OF HIS LIFE IN THE ROSARY

Written after Communion:

R. I realized my wretchedness, how unworthy I am to receive Him. All the sufferings are worth one moment of deep union with Him.

I saw a red glow around the Heart of Jesus, a warm red glow, a yellow filter. As I live in Him and He lives in me, I live His death and Resurrection in my life.

I carry the cross. I fall to the ground. My heart feels the pain and I rise in Him to new life. One moment of deep union with Him is worth the sufferings, one moment, knowing deeply His love, despite my wretchedness.

I live the mysteries of His life. I experience the mysteries in the rosary as I live each mystery in vivid detail in my life.

Mass was wonderful. I am such a sinner to have Jesus come to me. I am given such a gift.

 

October 1, 1995

IN THE DARKEST NIGHT, I MET MY GOD

R. He comes like a thief in the night. We do not know the day or the hour. All our ill deeds will be made light. In heaven, there are many mansions. His ways are the ways of truth.

The night follows the day, the day follows the night, in one moment, He can snatch us from our place, and our life has ended.

We live His life, death, and Resurrection in our lives. We walk the Passion with Him. I have struggled all through my life. In the deepest, darkest night, when it was black, I met my God. I truly felt as if I would never see the light of day.

We live the Pascal Mystery in our lives. I see the life of Christ. I experience His Passion. I walk with Him on the way to Calvary. I feel the persecution, the rejection, the wounds, deep in my heart, the wounds that hurt and cause me to cry out in pain. I feel the agony, the dark night He spent in the garden, His anguish so intense that He sweat blood!

I experience, I live the life, death, and Resurrection of my beloved Savior in my life. But, I know today so much more about the mystery of the Resurrection. I experience His life within me. I experience such oneness with Him. I feel the agony. I know how it is to be on the ground but I do not despair for I experience His life within me. "...it is no longer I, but Christ living in me..." (Ga. 2:20) I am alive in Him. To suffer is to know the life. To suffer is to experience sometimes His life even more deeply than before.

When I look back over the dark nights in my life, I reminisce with great joy for it is in those nights I was forced to spend very intimate time with my Lover. It was only through Him I lived in the dark moments. Now, when the struggle is over I look with such joy on the time I spent with Him. I reminisce on this time for I was so close to Him and so dependent on Him. Even though I was in intense pain, it was in the struggle that I grew more deeply in my life with Him.

Great struggles - great gifts of His abundant life. Many nights I suffered, many days I cried out for relief and the relief did not seem to come. I pursued Him more intensely because of this immense pain. In this pursuit and in the deep pain, I found my Beloved!

He was there in His sweet and gentle ways. I experienced His presence even though the room was crowded with darkness.

Many times I felt as if all hell pressed in and I wanted so badly to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but did not see it. I pursued Him in front of the tabernacle. It was there that I experienced His presence the strongest. I pursued Him in the dark nights when all were asleep and I was awake with my pain and struggle, and I found Him. I found my Beloved, His most Sacred Heart-His Heart, ever burning and beaming with light - His Heart, filled with love.

I struggled. I grew. It is the moments when I was down that I experienced the greatest growth - these are my fondest memories.

Would I but die to myself, I would experience Your life even more deeply. I surrender, my God, and I give You myself!

I saw a vision of a cave. It had a very distinct doorway, framed with wood boards. There was no door, just a doorway. It had a narrow passage way, the way was so small and the walls covered with big, sharp rocks. Then there was a second open doorway inside it. They led to a space that was rather open and the rocks still surrounded the interior walls of the room, but the space was much larger and lighted much more than the narrow passage way.

The open doorway beckoned me to come in. I then lived in the narrow, dark room and experienced the pain. The walls were hard and pointed, the room was dark, but it was in this little, cramped space I met my Lord every day. As I struggled, I lived for those moments when I was so alone with Him and so dependent on Him. I knew my Lord in the darkness. I felt His life within me more and more for His light was such a contrast to the darkness.

It was from this dark room that I entered into the second room. I knew His presence from the close quarters (the first room) and entered into the second room.

I carry His light within me. I carry His life within me. I know my Beloved, and I am no longer cramped for to know Him is to possess the keys of the Kingdom. The walls are still covered with the dark, gray, sharp, rock, but His light has cleared the darkness. His presence has pushed the walls back and now I live. As I live, I live through Him, with Him, and in Him. The rocks are still there. The quarters may seem tight sometimes, but the burning embers of His beating Heart keep me warm and secure.

I love You this day. Thank You for the gift of Your life. Thank You for showing us Your way!

I am living this day the Pascal Mystery of death-resurrection. If we die in Him, we will rise in Him, and He will raise us up on the last day. (My feet hurt as if I had little nails in them).

I feel such immense sorrow and a deep propelling desire to spread the love of His beautiful Heart. It is my Mother I hear calling, to go out to the highways and the byways and spread the love of her Son!

After Communion, I saw the red room with the burning embers. He beckons us to come and dwell in His Heart and feel the beating of His Heart and experience the warmth and security of this place, our place of refuge from the cold and dark night.

He is alive! He is alive! His Heart is burning and on fire for us!

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. I know Your love a little now, so dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee. I cannot say. There are not words to say what my heart feels. I love You so, I scarce can breathe when You come into me. I know Your love a little now, so dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee. Your tender Heart, Oh how it beats for love of each this day. I want to give You all my love, surrender totally. I know Your love a little now, so dear You are to me. Come give me life, abundant life, I thirst to be with Thee.

MARY'S SACRED WOMB

Written after Mass:

R. I realized that as Christ was carried in the womb of Mary, He is in me now. The word "in": the depth with which He unites to us lays me away. The word "in" - we "in" Him and He in us. Who am I that God comes to me and gives Himself to me?

I see the womb of Mary, with such a brilliant light, holding and forming the Son of God. I behold Mary's womb as so sacred, for it is within her that He lived.

I am awe struck that the Son of God enters me. I am so unworthy that He comes to me. I see so clearly her womb with such light and holiness.

I am so blessed, beyond words, to the point of tears, that He, the Son of God, comes to me and is in me now.

In us, one with us! So unworthy am I, so wretched in my ways, and so far from holiness that He should come and dwell in me and unite in this deep union with me. I love Him so much!

OUR POWERFUL WEAPON, THE ROSARY

R. Jesus has all the power. I am completely dependent on God. I cannot exist without prayer and being alone with Him. I beg Our Father to guide me.

He humbled Himself. He gave Himself for the good of all souls.

There will be an era of peace. The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph. Satan is so strong and he wants to stop us. Bless yourselves and your places of work. You cannot overlook his tactics. Bless your cars, your children, all that you use. Pray the prayer to Saint Michael. We must pray to St. Michael and bless our houses, our work, and our children with holy water.

Jesus: You must have time alone with Me. Each day a solid hour of contemplation, a time to listen and be taught, a time to be filled with My gifts and to listen to the plan for the day. You are being called to be My Apostles. You are spreading My love throughout this world. It is through the Shepherds of Christ Movement that many hearts will be touched. You are called, you are chosen.

I can, in one moment, do more than you in a million years. If you do not pray, if you rely on yourselves alone, you will be disappointed. I am acting in you. You must be humble and allow Me to accomplish My work in you.

I am calling you on a special mission to spread the Shepherds of Christ Movement and My messages given in God's Blue Books and the Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. You are My dear ones, My beloved ones, given a special mission from Me. It is only in humbling yourselves and remaining fixed in My love that you will carry out this mission. You must join together with the purpose being to carry out this message of My burning love given in these messages.

I have called, you have answered this call. It is through your cooperation with the grace I give you, joined deeply in love together that the message of My burning love will penetrate the hearts of those you contact. Only in deep love, filled with the Holy Spirit, marching according to the Father's Plan, and in My Name will you accomplish this mission.

Satan will aim to divide you. The messages given here were delivered by Me and My Mother under the guidance of Father Carter, Rita's Spiritual Director and Spiritual Director of the Shepherds of Christ Movement. I am asking you to dispense with all other messages received from visionaries when you are traveling in this special mission. This mission is to accomplish this task: to deliver these messages, to be as the apostles moving fearlessly ahead, joined in love. To try to know more than one another is to divide you. I am asking you to keep all personal experiences, visions, etc. to yourself. This mission is to deliver this message. These messages have been discerned and approved by Father Carter.

I further request that you do not discuss with the group or with individuals your own personal theories compiled by studying other visionaries. Every effort should be made to support the messages given in God's Blue Books, Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary and the Handbook and Fr. Carter's other books.

Satan will attempt to distract you. You must be careful traveling as an apostle for Shepherds of Christ to adhere to the absolute truth and to support this movement. You do not know the craftiness of satan to divide you.

You will carry rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to many parts of this world. Your weapon on this and every journey will be your continued union with Me. Time spent alone with Me in prayer and time together - always attend Mass and Communion and find time to be alone with Me in prayer, if possible before the tabernacle. Do not gossip or talk about one another. Pray the rosary as a powerful weapon to squelch Satan.

I am with you, My special Apostles. You will carry My beautiful love letters to many hearts and they, in turn, will carry them to many more. This is your mission - to deliver My personal love letters, to feed the hungry hearts with My love, to promote these rosary meditations.

I love you with the deepest love. I love you with a heart of burning, vibrant love. Thank you for spreading the devotion to My Heart and My Mother's heart to the world.

You will carry out the messages of My love and many hearts will unite to Mine. I have called My priests and religious to the special mission of spreading My love to the world. When souls that are hungry unite with My love they will pray fervently for the priests and religious. Your goal is to lead others all over the world to pray for the priests and religious. I am calling you to help spread the messages of Our Hearts - to encourage these hearts to pray for and support the priests and religious.

I love you so much, My special apostles. I am Jesus. I am forever with you and guarding you.

Notes:

Annunciation

R. The Heart of Jesus was formed in Mary.

Luke 1: 38 ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant, let it happen to me as you have said.’

R. The Trinity dwells in the graced baptized soul.

Mother of us, Mother of Jesus, we go to her spiritual womb, the Holy Spirit forms us more and more in the image of Jesus.

Jesus took on a human nature. Jesus is a Divine Person with two Natures, a human nature and a Divine nature.

God so loved the world He sent His only begotten Son into the world.

The Son of God became Man.

Many men ignore Jesus.

Look at how we have sinned - pray the Divine Mercy.

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.
 

R. Meditate on the Mystery of the Incarnation.

Meditate on the goodness of God.

How many martyrs went joyfully to their death.

 

Prophesy of Simeon 

R. Mary is Mother of all, Mary is Mother of the Church. There are many little lost children.

Mary had a constant ache in her heart from the prophesy of Simeon.

                Sing: Little Baby Hands and Feet

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.

October 5, 1995

REPARATION IS THE FOUNDATION
OF THE FATIMA MESSAGE

R. My experience at Holy Cross-Immaculata Catholic Church before the Lourdes Statue and the Cross was awesome.

The world is suffering and in pain. We must pray the Divine Mercy.

"A sacrament is a visible sign of an invisible, divine reality."25

Jesus no longer walks the earth. We carry out His life, death, and Resurrection in our lives.

The Church is the continuation of Christ upon earth. The Church is a sacrament. We encounter Christ in a special way through the Sacraments.

If I am united to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, if I dwell in Their Hearts, I help channel grace to others.

The more I live in Their Hearts and you live in Their Hearts, the deeper we are united.

I am deeply united to my brothers that are deeply saturated with His grace.

The rosary is the story of the lives of Jesus and Mary. God communicates with us through His Son, Who became man.

Mary's heart was pierced seven times. There are seven Sacraments. Mary is the Mediatrix of all graces. When we dwell in Their Hearts, the love of God is so alive in us. We are joined in such oneness with God when we are dwelling in Their Hearts. We receive His divine life and divine love.

Mary's heart is filled with His love. She dwells most deeply in His Heart. Her heart is sinless. Through Mary, we can dwell more deeply in His divine Heart because her heart is pure.

The grace-life comes through His humanity. Life comes from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, through Mary, to us. We act as channels of this life in the world. We carry out His life in our lives.

The Church continues His life, death, and Resurrection this day. He is present to us in the Sacraments. Mary is our Mother and Mother of the Church. The Spirit transforms us in Mary's heart to make us more like Jesus.

Jesus gives us His Body and Blood this day. His life flows from His pierced Heart from which blood and water flowed. The water is a symbol of Baptism, of the life He gives to us; the blood is a symbol of the Eucharist whereby we are fed.

The Mass is the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made present. The angel told the three children at Fatima:

"Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men! Make reparation for their crimes and console your God."

Father Carter says in his book, The Spirituality of Fatima and Medjugorje that: "Reparation is a foundation of the Fatima messages."26

…we notice the distinctive Trinitarian nature of the messages. We are instructed that, in our Christian existence, we must express the greatest reverence for Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, as we serve them through the virtues of faith, hope, and love. These three virtues are at the heart of our life of grace.

We are reminded of the ugly reality of sin and of our duty to make reparation for it.26

Our Lady calls for a specific act of reparation - the five first Saturdays. Reparation is a foundation of the Fatima message.

Love God; Love our neighbor. Pray and make sacrifices for others. Make everything we do a sacrifice. We must be united to God throughout the day.

God has sent Our Blessed Mother to call us back to Jesus and to be in a closer union with Him. Mary is our Spiritual Mother - the Mediatrix of all grace. We should accept all the sufferings He sends us. The cross leads to life. We carry out the Pascal Mystery in our lives, that of death-resurrection. The cross leads to life. We live the cross. We act as channels of His grace to others. The Eucharist is at the center of the Church's life.

"'My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You! I ask pardon of You for those who do not believe, do not adore, do not hope and do not love You.'

Then, rising he said: 'Pray thus. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications.'…"27

During the summer of 1916, the angel again appeared to the three visionaries. He said to them:
"Pray! Pray a great deal. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have merciful designs on you. Offer prayers and sacrifices continually to the Most High. Make everything you do a sacrifice, and offer it as an act of reparation for the sins by which God is offended, and as a petition for the conversion of sinners. Bring peace to our country in this way…I am the Guardian Angel of Portugal. Accept and bear with submission all the sufferings the Lord will send you."28

In the fall of the same year, the angel visited the visionaries a final time:
"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 where 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.'"29 30

Holy Hearts of Jesus and Mary appear in the foreground as the inseparable Mediators of the Father of Mercies.

AWAKE, SONS OF GOD

R. People were so irreverent at a church on Sunday, October 8, 1995. Immediately after Sunday Mass, people were selling entertainment books in the church, drinking coffee right in front of the altar and in front of the tabernacle, standing around laughing, hollering, and socializing, and counting money from the entertainment books on the Communion rail in front of the tabernacle. One man whistled as he carried the table he sold entertainment books on all through the sanctuary by the side of the main altar.

 

October 9, 1995

God Created the World

R. God gave to man such gifts, and Adam and Eve sinned against God. God gives us such gifts today and man continues to sin against God. Let us help make reparation to God for the offenses against Him. Tell Him that we are sorry for the ingratitude of sinful men.

God showed His love and His faithfulness to His promise by the Incarnation and by the life, death, and Resurrection of the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity.

God knows and loves Himself. He was perfectly happy and did not have to create man. He created him out of His great goodness. Creation is usually attributed to the First Person, knowledge to the Second Person, and love to the Third Person, but all share in these actions.

All I want to do is to know Him more. To know Him is to love Him.

Jn. 1:1-13:

In the beginning was the Word:
the Word was with God
and the Word was God.
He was with God in the beginning.
Through him all things came into being,
not one thing came into being
except through him.
What has come into being in him was life,
life that was the light of men;
and light shines in darkness,
and darkness could not over power it.

A man came, sent by God.
His name was John.
He came as a witness,
to bear witness to the light,
so that everyone might believe
through him.
He was not the light,
he was to bear witness to the light.

The Word was the real light
that gives light to everyone;
he was coming into the world.
He was in the world
that had come into being through him,
and the world did not recognize him.
He came to his own
and his own people did not accept him.
But to those who did accept him
he gave power to become children of God,
to those who believed in his name
who were born not from human stock
or human desire
or human will
but from God Himself.

R. Life flows from the pierced Heart of Christ. Man is redeemed by the blood of Jesus. And the light shines in the darkness and the darkness grasped it not.

I love You. I love You. I love You. I want to know You, to seek You, to have You more and more and more. My heart craves Your love - You are my Beloved.

We were born because God wanted us to be born. If we are baptized, we have a special sharing in His divine life. We are sons of God and heirs of His kingdom if we love and serve the Lord.

God existed. He was completely happy. He lacked nothing. He wanted to communicate His goodness and love so He created man.

Adam and Eve, our first parents, sinned. God prepared men for the coming of the Jesus. This is given in the Old Testament. The New Eve, Mary, and the New Adam, Jesus, came to this earth. Mary is our Spiritual Mother, the Mother of our spiritual life. Eve is the mother of the living. God promises to send a Redeemer. Jesus comes and gives Himself that we will have life, that we will share in His divine life. God keeps His promise. God is always faithful to His Word.

 

October 9, 1995

TO KNOW HIM IS TO LOVE HIM

R. Mary has said at Fatima that we will not have peace in the world until a sufficient number of people are consecrating their hearts to Jesus and Mary. Mary will be faithful to the promises of Fatima.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign and the Immaculate Heart of Mary will triumph.

Salvation History includes the story of man's willfulness and sinfulness. God is faithful with His infinite mercy and love.

God was completely happy. He created man from His goodness and love to communicate His love to His creatures.

Many times man is blind and deaf and does not see the plan. This is the plan of Salvation History that man was created to know, love, and serve God.

To love God more, we must know Him. He is revealing Himself to us in the Scriptures. We must read them to love Him more.

From the side of the first Adam came Eve. From the side of Christ came the Church.

We are fed through His Body and Blood.

I Go Before You

R. Awakened with pain so bad in the left foot — drawing up in both feet. Couldn't stay in bed, too bad.

Jesus: I awake you with pain in your feet. You do not want to deliver My messages of love.

These are messages of My love. My Shepherds of Christ Members are so important to the spread of this movement.

I am guarding you, your loss of sleep will not bother you. I am controlling your life. You have surrendered your will to Me.

You will continue to experience pains, deep in your hands and feet. You do not comprehend, this is My constant presence with you.

Why do you fear, when you know that I am the Almighty God and I am present to you.

You must do everything I ask, these tapes are important to spread Fr. Carter's messages about the Shepherds of Christ.

My messages will be spread extensively through these tapes. You must continue to travel and take the books and tapes with you.

I will continue to talk to you in the rosary when other visionaries have ceased to get messages.

These rosaries are so important in drawing all to the burning love of our hearts. Do not hold back, proceed steadfastly ahead and I will be your fore guard and your rear guard.

I am giving you these pains to keep you focused on Me. I want time spent alone with Me in the early morning. You must surrender, you have not beckoned to My call.

I am guarding you, do not be afraid, I go before you on the journey to prepare the way for you.

Take not nap sack or clothes, use your voice, I deliver this message through you.

Even now you doubt with pains in your hands and feet.

Circulate My messages and the messages of June 26. You experience this suffering because of those in the Church who neglect Me and irreverence among some. Who do I call, if you turn away. These are messages to you and to the group. Please beg them to obey and take me seriously.

Where you go to the meeting, I go with you, My Mother goes with you.

Whenever you speak, I am present. You are being guarded. Please make reparation to My Heart and My Mother's Heart for the sins of men.

I love you, Jesus

SEE SUFFERING AS A GIFT

Written at 4:17 in the morning:

R. He sweat blood for the indifference and neglect.

Jesus: They pierced My hands and feet, they numbered all My bones, from My pierced side the Church was born. This is My gift to you today - I give you Myself. Let not your hearts be troubled! I am the Bread of Life, come to Me. Love Jesus

R. There is such trouble in the Church today. I know I want to circulate the tapes and books with the Gospel message of His great love for us. The pains in my hands and feet are a constant reminder of His presence with me. All suffering is a constant reminder of His presence with us if we see the suffering as a gift from Him. He knows our every thought. He allows all that we are experiencing. The very hairs of our head are numbered.

 

October 11, 1995

WE MUST MARCH ON WITH A WHITE BANNER

R. I am very disturbed to have a problem with anyone for I love them and do not want to hurt them in anyway, but I want to always respond according to the truth.

The truth is my banner, to march on this world. The truth is the banner I carry, the message, the message of His love and my great love for God and for the Church. I love the Church and His especially chosen religious. He has anointed them, and they will lead the strayed ones home. He has chosen them. Jesus wants us to spread this book to the religious.

Jesus: I call out and My cries fall on deaf ears.

R. He wakes them from a dark, long sleep and they begin to see the light of day. The Church will carry a white flag filled with purity and burning love for the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Song: Oh burning Heart, oh Love Divine, how sweet You are to me.

All through the day, I unite in the Mass with all the Masses all over the world. I love the Mass so much. I see Christ acting through the priest in the Mass, and I love him deeply in his deep love for Jesus. My whole life is spent in this quest for deeper and deeper union with God. I thirst with the driest mouth for this knowledge of God. Knowing Him helps to love Him - to more deeply in Him.

I thirst for Thee, my God. My mouth is so dry and my thirst is so deep. Only in You do I find my joy. The world parades its beauties before me. I focus on Jesus. He is my all. My goal is to have deeper and deeper union with Thee. I thirst, and I am quenched by the knowledge of You given in the Scriptures and from my spiritual director, Fr. Carter. I call and You quench my thirst. You have provided Fr. Carter as a great gift given to help in the renewal of the Church and the world. His love for the Church will be passed on through his writings. It is in Jesus' Heart and the heart of Mary that men will realize the love of God.

Jesus: Circulate the Blue Book II to nuns and priests - tell Mike thank you for His efforts.

When Blue Book II is circulated among the priests many will be drawn closer to My burning love. I thank Mike and Tom for this effort. Many are called, few are chosen, I am calling you to deliver the messages of My burning Heart to this world. The priests will answer this call through the Priestly Newsletter and I will outpour My grace through this instrument I am giving them through the prayers of many in the Shepherds of Christ and Prayer Chapters.

I beg you to circulate the Second Blue Book to the priests. Pursue the imprimatur, do not be discouraged, but encouraged, I am guarding you in all the confusion and you are being strengthened for the dark days ahead. You must all unite in one mind and one heart delivering these messages to the world. I love you Jesus.

R. The priests will answer this call through the newsletter and the graces they are receiving from God through the prayers of many. We must all unite in one heart delivering His message of love to the world. He loves us so much.

My deepest union with the priest is in the Sacrifice of the Mass, when I unite with Jesus as victim and offer myself with Jesus and Mary to the Father. The priest merges with Jesus, offering Himself to the Father. It is Jesus offering Himself, through the priest, to the Father.

In one moment bread, and wine are changed into the Body and Blood of Christ through the priest. This is the intense moment when I unite so deeply with God. I am in awe of this act. I see the priest, at this moment, as Christ, and I love God so deeply for the great gift given to men. Who are we that God gives a man the power to change bread into His Body and wine into His Blood?

I love Jesus so much. I adore Him. I love Him. I worship Him. In this moment, my heart is filled with such union with God for His goodness. I love the priest deeply as I know the great gift God has given to us in him. I love the Church. It is through the priest, I love the Church more for He has chosen the priest to represent Himself to me. I see Christ in the priest. I receive His life from the Church. The priest administers the Sacraments to me. The priest celebrates the Mass.

I love the priest so much because he is chosen by God and is acting as Christ in the Church today. I love the Church with my whole heart, with all its flaws and problems. I love the priest because he represents Christ to me. I know Christ is acting in him and in the Church this day.

If I do not have this love for the Church, for the priest, for the Mass, for the Eucharist, I am missing this special encounter with Christ given to us this day. I love the hand that feeds me.

Priests are not being loved by the faithful this day. The Church is disrespected and made fun of in many cases. We must pray for the people to love the Church and love the priests and pray for them.

My love of others enhances my love for God, my love for the Church, my love for the Sacraments, my love for Christ. I love God's holy priests. We must love the Church, the Sacraments and thank God for these great gifts given to us.

Jesus: I wake you with pains in your feet, spread this message to My faithful to love the Church, love the sacraments, love the great gifts given to them.

 

October 11, 1995

EXPERIENCING GOD AT MASS

R. Such an experience after Communion: My beloved God comes inside of me and unites to me. The Almighty God gives Himself to me. I cry to express my deep, deep love for Him.

I see clearly the role of the Church as we are formed more into the image of Jesus. I know how I must love the Church. I do love the Church. The Church ministers to me His life.

Jesus: I am the way, the truth and the life, I am alive, I am alive, I am alive. I give you the Church. I give you Myself in the Blessed Sacrament this day. I am truly present in My Divinity and humanity in the Eucharist. I am the Almighty God. Oh how I love you. I give Myself to you. 
 

   

October 11, 1995

We Must Obey the Church

R. To love God we must know Him. The truth must be taught in the Catholic Church. The Church has the right to govern. We cannot say what we want. The Church has the right and the power to govern. We must obey the Church.

God wants our salvation and happiness far more than we do. If we become more like Christ we will be more pleasing to the Father.

 

 

October 12, 1995

THE SACRIFICE OF THE MASS

R. I realize more the offenses against God performed by myself and sinful men. I want to help make reparation to His adorable Heart. His Heart was wounded by ingratitude and indifference. My heart cries out, realizing the great gifts we are given and how Jesus is ignored and treated with such disrespect many times by irreverent men.

At Mass we unite praying to the Father, in the Holy Spirit, united to Jesus through the powerful intercession of the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory, through the intercession of Mary. We pray united with all our hearts.

Jesus: I shed My Blood for the sins of ungrateful men, it pleases Me so for you to offer reparation to My Heart and My Mother's Heart. Many men are so sinful in their ways, pray with deepest fervor for their souls. Unite to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Pray to the Father. How this pleases Him My beloved child.

R. "Lamb of God, Who take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us." We beg, beg for mercy for the men this day offending God. I see His pierced Heart - a fountain of mercy and love, pouring out on the world as we unite in our most fervent prayer from our hearts.

Prayer:

Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, we place our trust in Thee. Let us unite with all the faithful throughout the world in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass praying to the Father, with the deepest, fervent love, petitioning that He outpour His graces and mercy on ungrateful men.

Let us thank and praise God for the great gift of the Mass. Let us help make reparation to Jesus who is ignored and forgotten by so many men today.

Let us unite in one heart fervently loving God and beg the Father to unite this world in love. Let us live always according to the Father's will as little children, always obeying Him and depending on Him for everything.

I join with the priest, in such oneness, with these prayers offered to the Father. I pray these prayers go to the Father - I pray for the Reign of the Sacred Heart and Triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart.

We join in such oneness in this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The Mass is so powerful!

   

 

October 12, 1995

THE MASS

R. The Mass is a great act of love. The sacrifice of Calvary is sacramentally made present. In the Mass, Jesus gives Himself completely to us and we give ourselves completely to Him.

May the sacrament of His love draw us closer in love with one another. It is in the reception of the Eucharist that we unite so deeply in Him and in His love. So, too, I unite with every person. Every difficulty I have with others seems so minute, for I can unite with them in Him.

Each person in my life, I love so much more dearly because I have united in deepest union with my God. Each member of my family, of my life, that I unite with socially, becomes so dear and close to me in Him. He has united in deepest union with my heart. Now I must go forth and carry this love to all those I interact with.

I feel so sad for my sins and the sins of the world. I see how often I fail, all through the day. I beg Him for forgiveness and mercy for myself and for the sinful world. I want to help make reparation to His adorable Heart for the sins of man.

I pray, in this Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, that the petitions in my heart ascend upward to the Father, united in this Holy Sacrifice, in the Holy Spirit, with Mary, the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory. I pray with all my heart for mercy, mercy for the sins of ungrateful men.

The Mass is so beautiful. We unite in the mystery of His love. We ask forgiveness for our sinful ways. We offend Him in thought, word, and deed, what we should have done and failed to do. I beg the heavenly Father for forgiveness and remission of these sins. We beg mercy for us and our sins.

We are fed by His beautiful Word. We are touched by this Living Word of God. We ask the Father to give us what we need, and we unite with all present in this Sacrifice, in these prayers. In one heart, we lift our hearts to the Father and pray for our needs.

Let us share in the Divinity of Christ Who humbled Himself to share in our humanity.

Wash away our iniquities. We offer ourselves with the bread and wine that will soon be the Body and Blood of Christ. May the Lord accept this sacrifice for the praise and glory of His name for our good and for the good of His whole Church.

Lifted high on the cross, He gave Himself. We join with all the angels and saints.

THE BURNING EMBERS OF HIS HEART

R. He lifts the veil and I realize the immensity of His love. I envision the burning embers of His Heart. I rested so deeply in His Heart. I envision the glow going in and out from darkness to light. He keeps a constant vigilance for us.

I felt the burning flames of His love from darkness to light. They went in and out with a red hue. It was a burning movement of a flame that went in and out.

My heart is so warm. Such an experience! My heart burns with deepest love of Him. I feel my heart now.

I begged Him to let me unite with Him in the highest union at every moment of my life. I long for Him, for Him alone, and this deep union with Him. Song, "In the deepest recesses of His Heart..."

I am so aware of the pulling in my heart like an ache, but not painful. I long for deep, deep, deep union with Him, I long to be so one in Him, so deeply embedded in His Heart.

I realize from reading Mother at My Side, that Mary is our prayer partner. A mother is always there. She is attentive to her child. She feels the child's pain. She is so joined to her child.

Mary is there, she is more than I can imagine, attentive to my every care. She is indeed my Mother. I do not have any fear if I realize her constant love and care, that someone constantly loves and cares for me. I know her constant motherly presence with me.

It is in realizing this constant, motherly love that I am set free from fear and can rest so tenderly in His Heart.

How do I write what I feel? Mary, my Mother, help me to know your constant presence with me and your constant motherly care and love for me! I know this is the secret to my resting deeply in His Heart.

It was through Mary that Christ came. He was in Mary's womb. The connection between Them is so deep in the rosary meditations. It is in meditating on Their lives that I see this deep union between Their two Hearts. It is in Mary that I will feel secure and know His love.

All these years I've missed my earthly mother who died when I was five years old. Now I know I have my heavenly Mother forever with me, leading me in deepest union with her Son! Her role as my spiritual Mother is to help me to unite more and more deeply in Him.

Before the Tabernacle

Joyful Mysteries

The Annunciation

R. Put yourself in the presence of Almighty God. Jesus is truly here, in His Divinity and humanity, no less present than the day He walked this earth and He is longing and thirsting and waiting for us to open our hearts and to join ever closer to His Heart in such oneness. He longs and thirsts for our love. He wants us to come to Him with hearts that are burning and in love with Him. Think of this: think of Jesus hanging on the cross, His head crowned. His arms hanging from the nails covered with blood. This is love: that He gave Himself on the cross and that He gives Himself to us this day and remains with us here in this room, the same Jesus that we know in the Scriptures, the same Jesus that walked the earth is here in this room!

1. R. Let us feel the presence of the Almighty God in this room and within our hearts for when we are baptized and in the state of grace the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell within us. Let us feel this presence and open our hearts wide to feel the graces that He is giving to us as we are present before the tabernacle.

2. R. My dear Jesus, how tenderly I love you, to give me these great gifts! Let us put ourselves in the room with Mary at the Annunciation. The angel appeared to Mary. Mary was a young virgin. Mary loved the Father so dearly and wanted only to please her beloved Father. And, the angel came to Mary and Mary said "yes" to the angel to be the Mother of God.

3. Luke 1: 35 The angel answered, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will cover you with its shadow. And so the child will be holy and will be called Son of God.

4. R. This day, October 13th, is a very, very special day for the Blessed Mother appeared at Fatima and gave to us such promises on the 13th. Mary is our Mother at our side, our spiritual Mother with us at every moment. I think of how many times we go through the day and we feel so alone sometimes and then we focus on our Mother, so loving. As she walked beside Christ all through His life, she walks with us in this valley of tears and in our joy she is constantly there.

    Feel her with us this evening and in this rosary and be more aware of her motherly presence within us and that she is guarding us and protecting us with her mantle. Let us surrender at this moment to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. We see the statue of Jesus and Mary. Jesus wants these images in our homes and Churches and schools. We see Them in the pictures, with Their hands beside Their Hearts, the Hearts of love. It is not a lip service love that Jesus and Mary speak about but a love that comes from our heart. Let us lift our hearts in deep love to the Almighty God. God in all of His goodness, created us in His image and likeness and loves us with such love.

5. R. How tenderly we are loved?

6. R. Our starved souls stalk the barren desert for something that will fill us when God is truly present this moment in the Eucharist. Jesus is longing and waiting to be so close to us. We look everywhere and nothing fills the craving within. We are left empty. Only God will fill our starved soul with His love and with His life.

7. Jesus: My dear ones, how tenderly I love you. I am present with you at this moment. I want to tell you of My tender love. Listen to this message. Open your heart. Let go of all the walls that keep you from deeper union with Me. Let go at this moment and let Me touch your heart and your soul. Let Me touch you interiorly that you will unite deeper and deeper in love with Me. I come into this world a little baby in the womb of My Mother. I came to you that I may give you a sharing in My life and I give you life My love.

8. R. The Father chose the Virgin Mary from all women to be the Mother of His Son Jesus. Who are we that God so loved this world that He sent His only begotten Son into the world, incarnate, in the womb of the Virgin Mary! We are so loved by the Almighty God that we feel such emptiness in our hearts and I hear Jesus call out, endlessly, to me, "Tell them, Rita", He says, "tell them how I am waiting and longing for them, how I wait endless hours in the tabernacle for My beloved ones to come and to be so close to Me. Tell them, Rita, tell them, how I love them!"

9. R. Nothing on this earth will fill the starved soul like the love of God. Let our hearts be open, let our hearts be soft and supple. Pray for the grace that we will join closer and closer to the Heart of our beloved Savior who came into this world in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

10. Sing: Ave, Ave, Ave Maria

 

The Visitation

1. R. Mary made haste to the hill country to be with her cousin, Elizabeth, who had conceived of a child. When she arrived, Elizabeth said, "How is it that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"

2. R. The child in Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy at the sight of Mary and at the presence of Jesus in the womb of the Virgin Mary.

3. R. Should we not jump for joy this day? We are blind and we are dumb. We do not realize that God is present and in our midst. So few of Jesus' beloved souls come to the church to be with Him and He calls out endlessly, "could you not watch one hour with Me? I am waiting, a prisoner in the tabernacle, waiting for you to come."

4. R. Mary and Jesus want us to pray the rosary. Their Hearts are joined in such intimacy. The relationship between Jesus and Mary is so close. As we meditate on Their lives, we see this closeness between the Heart of Jesus and the heart of Mary. His Heart was formed within the womb of the Virgin Mary, through the Holy Spirit. The two Hearts beat within the body of the Virgin Mary. Such intimacy between these two Hearts!

    We hear all through the Mass how Jesus wants us to be one in Him. Who are we that the Almighty God, wants to be one with us. Jesus was carried in the womb of His Mother. We meditate on this for these two mysteries of the rosary.

    The Father chose Mary whereby He sent His Son into this world. It is in Mary that we will unite ever closer to the Heart of Jesus. Mary is our Mother, that walks by our side, always there.

    I think of how sometimes when we struggle and we feel we are alone that our best prayer partner is with us. She is there at every moment. Do we feel her here this moment? Do we know how our Mother loves us, how it is through her, our spiritual Mother and the Holy Spirit, that we will be formed more and more like Jesus?

5. R. Life is not life if it is not rooted in God. God is the source of life. Life flows from the Father, in the Holy Spirit, through the pierced Heart of Jesus, through the heart of Mary, to us. We are to be living witnesses of God living in us in this world today.

6. R. The child in Elizabeth's womb leapt for joy at the presence of the Almighty God. Should we not leap for joy this moment for God is truly present and in this room? Think of this: the Almighty God is here and we worry about such incidental things and we focus on these things and He cries out! He wants us to know that He is there at every second and at every moment! He knows our hearts far more than we know our hearts. He is the Almighty God. He has all the power and we wander, we roam, and we cry and God is there, attentive to all of our needs!

7. R. Think of Mary carrying the Child Jesus within her womb. If I saw Mary, I would see such radiance for God is with her. Such awe I would feel, that Jesus comes to us in His Divinity and humanity, in the Holy Eucharist, and how do we treat this great gift given from God—that He comes to us in this deep oneness to unite with the Almighty God, who is love! I am filled with love. He gives Himself to us. He is as present within us when we receive Him in the Eucharist as He was in the womb of the Virgin Mary. When we go to Communion and we receive Him, think of Mary carrying Jesus within her womb and think of Him being inside of us. Who are we that God unites with us in such oneness?

8. R. I become one in Him, you become one in Him, and in this oneness, we are united.

9. R. The more we realize our oneness with God, the more we will unite with one another, He calls out, He wants such union with us. This is our goal in life - to be united ever closer to the Almighty God and to live for all eternity united to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Let us keep forever this focus, this goal, before our eyes. That it is in this union, in living in such oneness with Him and doing the Father's will, living in the Father's will, that our peace and our joy lies.

10. Hail Mary

 

The Birth of Our Lord

R. The pain and the joy in our lives, living out the life, death and resurrection in our lives. We live the Paschal mystery. We meditate on Mary as she traveled to Bethlehem with the child Jesus in her womb. Mary arrived at Bethlehem. There was not room for Jesus to be born in the Inn.

1. R. Jesus came into this world, not a king adorned in gold and silver, but He came into this world, the Son of God, the King of all Kings. He came into this world a little baby, in the town of Bethlehem, born in a cave, surrounded by the beasts of the earth and He is laid in a manger.

2. R. Jesus came into this world. Jesus was rejected by men. Is not this how it is today - that Jesus is rejected this day, that Jesus is alive and He is here with us and He is rejected? The sports events are filled. The music halls are filled. They are so concerned about all the details of all the celebrities and the Son of God is here and with us.

    We read in the Psalm, "let our hearts sing with joy, let us talk about God." Do we talk about God? God is here! He wants us to love Him with our whole heart and our whole soul and our whole being. Do we talk about God to one another? Do we tell each other how we love Him so much? Do we think about Him and know how present He is? This is the message that I am receiving, that He is alive and He calls out "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive and I live in hearts of men." He comes and He shows us His Heart. Jesus and Mary appear with blood in Their eyes. They appear so that we will know that They want us to go to Their Hearts and to love Them with our whole hearts.

    Jesus shows us His Heart but we continue to pray with such shallow prayers. Jesus wants to be so close to us. Jesus wants to outpour His grace to us. We want to be abundantly filled with His life. We want the Word to live in us. Listen to the words of the Mass. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit live in our graced baptized soul, God nourishes this life in the Eucharist. Jesus wants pure hearts burning with love for Him and He wants to love us with this burning love.

    Let us take a moment and realize the great gift that we are given, that in Baptism He gives us a sharing in His Divine Life, and if we remain in the state of grace, He dwells within us in such a special way. Let us take a moment here and focus on the Almighty God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit within us. Feel the presence of God and His burning love in our heart.

3. R. Jesus came into this world a little baby. Jesus wants our love. Let us tell Him endlessly all through the day, Jesus, I love You so much. He says how few souls come to His tabernacle and tell Him how they love Him.

4. Hail Mary

5. R. A little baby in the town of Bethlehem. Jesus is born on bare wood. Jesus is rejected by men and He hung on a cross at Calvary, a cross of wood. Jesus came to show us the way. Jesus came and He gave Himself that we would have life. That we would share more and more, deeper and deeper in His Divine Life and He outpours this life abundantly to us, in the Eucharist, especially when we sit in front of the tabernacle. Let us thank the Almighty God for the gift of His life and His love.

6. Song: A Song from Jesus

7. R. Jesus cries out that the bloodshed in the Church will continue until the messages of His love are transmitted in the members. Let us open our hearts wide and let Him pour into our hearts His Life. His grace abundantly in us. We are open, ready for His touch, His life and love in us. We go into this world and in this oneness with Him, He will operate in us and He will minister to the world that is hurting and in pain. The Almighty God came into this world a little baby in the town of Bethlehem. Jesus took on flesh. Let us meditate on this mystery. This is the love that God has for us and how do we return this love to Him?

8. R. What a price Jesus paid that we would be saved!

9. R. There is such intimacy between the Hearts of Jesus and Mary in the first two mysteries of the rosary: the Heart of Jesus beats within the body of Mary. In the third mystery the little Child Jesus receives His life support through her milk. Let us focus more and more on this close relationship between Jesus and Mary for it is in Mary that we will unite closer to Him, realizing her presence and motherly love for us.

    Mary, our dear Mother, help us to feel more and more your working in our lives so that we may be closer and closer to the Heart of your beloved Son, the Heart of deepest love.

10. Hail Mary

 


 

The Presentation in the Temple

R. Mary and Joseph came to the temple with the Child Jesus. Simeon prophesied the sufferings of Jesus and Mary to come. He says, "a sword too shall pierce your soul, Mary."

1. R. Simeon says that this child is destined for the rise and fall of many in Israel.

2. R. From that moment on, Mary had a constant aching in her heart. Think of this, think of knowing that your Son would suffer as you looked at Him, a little baby in your arms as you watched Him, as He played, as you took care of Him. From the prophecy of Simeon you constantly had an aching in your heart. Mary had this aching in her heart. Mary pondered this deeply in her heart. Mary's heart ached constantly from the time of Simeon.

3. R. We see the joys and sorrows, they are mixed in the mysteries of these joyful mysteries of the rosary. Look at our life - We realize the sufferings that we receive can help us be closer to Jesus - We identify in His sufferings. Our sufferings each day, the constant struggle, all through the day, but it is in these sufferings that we can grow in deeper life in Him.

4. R. I see such intimacy between the child Jesus and the Virgin Mary. Jesus knew all things. Mary knew from the prophecy of Simeon, of the sufferings to come. I see the pictures: Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the Icons - the look of Jesus and Mary, that intimacy that They shared, that They both knew throughout Their lives of the sufferings to come.

5. R. Mary pondered these things and kept them in her heart. Mary's heart was pierced with a sword. Mary is the Mediatrix of all graces. Christ hung on the cross and His Heart was pierced with a lance and there flowed forth blood and water: water for baptism, and blood for the Eucharist. Mary's heart was invisibly pierced with a sword, Mary is the Mediatrix of all graces. Mary carried Jesus in her womb in the first two mysteries of the rosary. In the third mystery Mary supports the Child Jesus with her milk after Jesus is born. Mary is our spiritual Mother - We dwell in Mary's heart. As we go to her, the Holy Spirit forms us more and more in the image of Jesus. Mary is the Mediatrix of all graces.

    On this, October 13th anniversary of the Sixth Apparition at Fatima, let us open our hearts and let our loving Mother come closer and closer to us for it is in her heart, it is in Mary, that loves us with a deepest love, that we will know more the love of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

6. Song: I Love You Jesus

7. R. Mary appeared to me. Mary calls us to come to her Son. Mary is Our Lady of the Eucharist. Mary wants us to thank God for these great gifts that we are given. Our beloved Mother is calling out to us this day - to come ever closer to the Heart of her Son. The two Hearts: His Heart was pierced with a lance and her heart was pierced with a sword.

8. R. This rosary is a meditation on the lives of Jesus and Mary. The more we meditate on Their lives, the more Their lives will live within us.

9. R. Think of the heart of Mary invisibly pierced with a sword. Think of her holding the Child Jesus in her arms, looking into His eyes so tenderly and think of her standing beneath the cross. Think of Mary so close to Jesus as He hung, watching Him as He hung to His death on the cross.

10. Song: See the Eyes That Look at Mary

 

 

Finding of the Child Jesus in the Temple

R. When Jesus was 12 years old He was taken up to the temple for the Feast of the Passover and Mary and Joseph went ahead and Jesus was left behind.

1. R. Mary's heart was in such sorrowing that the Child Jesus was lost.

2. R. We see the connection in these mysteries of the rosary, the connection between Their Hearts beating within the same body in these first two mysteries. The Child Jesus, receiving His milk from His Mother. We see her carry the child to the temple and after the prophesy of Simeon, she knew in her heart the sufferings to come and she was separated from the Child Jesus.

    At the Holy Spirit Center in Norwood this mystery of the rosary is across from the crucifixion. When she was separated from the Child Jesus, she knew in her heart the sufferings to come. This separation troubled her heart greatly.

3. R. Mary stood under the cross of Jesus, and Mary saw her Son covered with blood. Jesus' head crowned with thorns, Jesus' arms stretched open, His hands and feet nailed to the cross. Mary suffered with her Son. Mary knew the love that He has for each and every soul this day and she watched Him as He gave His life for each and every precious soul.

4. R. I see our blessed Mother over and over and over again in front of me and she calls out a plea to pray as we have never prayed before for the little lost children of this world for she says many are going to hell for their sins and their willfulness. It is so hard to see the blessed Mother before you and to hear her call out and to tell of the souls that will be lost in hell!

5. R. Mary stood beneath the cross of Jesus and Mary saw Him before her eyes. Mary saw Him die. Mary knew in her heart that her little, lost children would go to hell, despite His suffering. Mary is appearing today and calling out, out an urgent plea to pray with our whole hearts, to join this movement to pray for the world, to pray for the priests and religious — those that have been chosen by God to lead the stray sheep back to God! The priests and the Sisters, will lead the souls to Him. We unite in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to pray for the priests and religious the world over. (Mary is so illuminated and alive in the statue.) One priest, with the burning love of Jesus within his heart can lead so many souls to the burning Heart of Jesus. It is in this Movement that we pray for our beloved priests and Sisters and for the Church. (What I am seeing is awesome - the tabernacle is like a flame.) This Movement is Jesus' Movement to lead hearts to the burning Heart of Jesus. (She is so alive and beautiful in the statue.)

Mary: I call out to you my children, this day, to come to the Heart of my Son, Jesus, to unite in deepest union with Him. It is in your union that your prayers will become more and more powerful. We are with you in a special way. You do not know the great gifts that you are being given. Open your hearts and you will be touched deeply with the grace of God. My little children, this day, are suffering and in pain and they do not know my Son Jesus. It is through you that they will know His love. It is through your prayers. Let Jesus live in your hearts. As you are one in your hearts so shall you be in this world. Unite even closer to my Son. Jesus wants to operate in this world through you. The Kingdom of God is at hand. (She is just so beautiful - sing Our Lady of Fatima for peace and unity.)

R. Mary has asked us to pray with all of our hearts, to lift our hearts high, to the Father in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Holy Spirit through her powerful intercession all through the day, to be united with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world and to pray for all the children in the world and the souls in purgatory. Mary says many souls will go to hell.

6. Hail Mary
7. Hail Mary
8. Hail Mary
9. Hail Mary

10. Jesus: Let your hearts be soft and supple. The graces I am pouring into your hearts fill you deeply. My little ones unite more and more to the Almighty God.

Song: Hail Holy Queen

Guiding Light — Reflect on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series — Reflect on the Word — Cycle B     The Word leaves an impression on our souls. In my thoughts and reflections are born a more tangible understanding of these eternal concepts presented in the Gospels and the readings. Anyone can read a sentence, but not anyone can absorb it's true meaning. Truth, in this day and age, is almost a matter of opinion or individual entitlement. We believe that Christ's truth is our Roman Catholic Church. We, as priests, champion it's teachings; we are ambassadors for the Pope and Christ to those faces looking at us. We are the light by which our congregation reads to reflect upon real truth and we do it hand in hand. $15

Guiding Light — Steadfast to the Son
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle A of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light homily series — Steadfast to the Son — Cycle A    The sunflower is a great example of how we should be steadfastly guided by light. What a powerful thought that this exceptional plant is not stuck in one pose day in and day out, yet adaptable and magnetized to the sun. We feel the same about our Son. Our heads turns to face Christ as each day presents its challenges to find light. We join together like plants in a field and soak up the Son through the pulpit. We are a warm circle of strength using the wind of our breath to carry our priests' words, Christ's words, to new rich soil. $15

Guiding Light — Feed My Soul
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle C of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light — Feed My Soul — Cycle C    In a world rapidly advancing and encouraging personal gain, we are faced with modern problems. There is a challenge to find time in our busy schedules for Sunday Mass or a family meal. We are able to research, shop, bank and even work without hearing one human voice. It is no wonder that we may often feel disconnected and famished at our week's end. In Fr. Joe's third book of homilies from Cycle C, we are reminded of the charity that Christ intended us to show each other. We have a calling to turn the other cheek and be the Good Samaritan to others. We are rewarded with the Father's kingdom and love when we are not worthy. We are not left alone or hungry. $15

Guiding Light — Focusing on the Word
Inspiring Homilies Covering Cycle B of the Liturgical Year
$ 15.00 plus postage

Guiding Light — Focusing on the Word — Cycle B    At times we may feel that our path to Christ is a bit "out of focus". Like the disciples in the Book of Mark, this ordinary life clouds our vision of Christ's Divinity. We may doubt the practicality or possibility of applying His teachings and example to our modern life. Cycle B's homilies are a "guiding light" to help us realize Jesus' Messianic greatness and His promise of better things to come. $15

Priestly Newsletter — 2000 #1 — CD.Christ is Our Strength — Fr. Edward Carter, S.J. read it the year he died. It is so beautiful. "This brief passage contains one of the greatest lessons of the spiritual life. As we progress along our spiritual journey, we become increasingly aware of how weak we are in our—selves, but how strong we are in Christ. To experience our weakness involves suffering. The degree and kind of suffering can vary. The suffering can include the experience of the classical dark night of the spirit as described by St. John of the Cross. One of the main purposes of the dark night is to make a person keenly aware of his or her helplessness without God." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10

His voice is so powerful as he read each Newsletter from his heart and soul. "Every man has his own share in the redemption. Each one is also called to share in that suffering through which the redemption was accomplished. He is called to share in that suffering through which all human suffering has also been redeemed. In bringing about the redemption through suffering, Christ has also raised human suffering to the level of the redemption. Thus each man in his suffering can also become a sharer in the redemptive suffering of Christ..." quote by Fr. Carter from the newsletter $10
