Mary has requested that the daily message be given each day to the world. It is read nightly at the prayer service from her Image Building in Clearwater, Florida, U.S.A. This is according to her request. All attempts will be made to publish this daily message to the world at 11 p.m. Eastern time, U.S.A.We acknowledge that the final authority regarding these messages
rests with the Holy See of Rome. |

Mary speaks: My children ignore me and the wounds in my Heart are so many. I do not receive honor or love from so many of my children. They are so blind, they do not even know God intends them to love their Mother. It is the Father's will that I will help the souls grow to spiritual maturity. I give you this message. When you pray the rosary you will more fully understand the Father's plan for you. God comes to the earth in the womb of a woman. Jesus is born a helpless little baby. You are the sons and daughters of God. You must obey your heavenly Father and Mother. Jesus is your Savior.
I am blasphemed by many of my children, but my great suffering is to know many will lose their souls, they will not listen to me.
The Father wills the children to recognize their Mother. Jesus came in my womb to show you the way. Jesus died on that cross, the New Adam. As He was dying on the cross, He gave you your Mother, the New Eve.
Messenger: At the beginning of the Joyful Mysteries the angel announces the Good News to Mary. "Hail favored daughter". At the end of the Sorrowful Mysteries, Jesus gives us Mary as our Mother. Our sorrows will decrease when we increasingly realize Mary's spiritual motherhood. We find hope, the children of Eve. We stand beneath the altar of Sacrifice and come through Mary's Immaculate Heart. In this valley of tears, I have rejoiced at the Joyful Mysteries, for we are being transformed in the Heart of the Woman. The Incarnation goes on in us as we are brought forth more and more in His image and likeness from that Woman, the New Eve, our Mother Mary.
We walk all through the Sorrowful Mysteries. We are in agony, we are beaten and crowned with thorns. In the Christian life we follow where the Master trod, we meditate on His Passion and death and identify with Him in our lives. It is a valley of tears for the Christian in today's world. There is so much sin and untruth, lack of genuine love and desire to please God. It is acceptable in the world that people have a right to interpret religion any way they want. The Catholic faith is His Truth. If we are a Catholic, we cannot interpret the Church's teaching the way we want. There are strict guidelines. Abortion is wrong, sex before marriage is wrong, artificial birth control is not accepted by the Church. We must go to Mass on Sundays unless we are sick or some other grave reason prevents us. There are many more rules given by the Church and they must be obeyed by us Catholics. We are not allowed to worship in other faiths. The world has given men such freedom in determining their own fate, that they feel they have the freedom to adapt the Church to their way of life. This is not true. We must obey laws of the Church if we are Catholic.
One, holy, catholic, apostolic Church.
I wish to include the Apostles Creed.
The Apostles Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
Messenger: I wish to include the Nicene Creed taken from the daily missal used at Mass.
The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate: he suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day he rose again in fulfillment of the Scriptures: he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his Kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
Messenger: The world has so many loose rules. In many movies, books, papers, etc., the rules are made according to how the person wishes to interpret things.
In the Catholic faith, we are given the rules to obey. They come from the authority of the Church. They are not optional, nor does their meaning depend on how a person wishes to interpret them. It may be optional if you wear a veil on your head, but there are basic teachings we must obey if we are Catholic.
A person must fast one hour before reception of the Eucharist and cannot be in the state of mortal sin. To receive the Eucharist, a person must be accepted by the Church through Baptism and be properly prepared for First Communion.
I speak now of love. The rosary is a prayer of love. We see how God so loved the world He sent His only begotten Son to redeem us. We meditate on the mysteries of the rosary. We see the angel announce the Good News. We see the Good News carried to Elizabeth. The Child Jesus is born in poverty. She brought forth her first-born Son.
Include Luke 2:6-7 and 1 Corinthians 15.
Luke 2:6-7
Now it happened that, while they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to a son, her first-born. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the living-space.
1 Corinthians 15:54-58
A hymn of triumph. ConclusionAnd after this perishable nature has put on imperishability and this mortal nature has put on immortality, then will the words of scripture come true: Death is swallowed up in victory. Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin comes from the Law. Thank God, then, for giving us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So, my dear brothers, keep firm and immovable, always abounding in energy for the Lord's work, being sure that in the Lord none of your labours is wasted.
Messenger: In meditating on the mysteries of the rosary, we see the light as it dawns for sinful man. A Savior is born. He died to save all His precious souls.
We see the finding in the temple. We, the lost children of Eve, find refuge in Their Hearts.
Revelation 3:12 - include here.
Revelation 3:12
Anyone who proves victorious I will make into a pillar in the sanctuary of my God, and it will stay there for ever; I will inscribe on it the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which is coming down from my God in heaven, and my own new name as well.
Messenger: From the litany to the Sacred Heart: "Heart of Jesus, sacred temple of God."
We see the anguishing pain of the Savior in the garden, knowing so clearly who would be lost, who would be saved, and He sweat Blood. He was handed over, and it says in the Scripture:
Isaiah 53:7
Ill-treated and afflicted,
he never opened his mouth,
like a lamb led to the slaughter-house,
like a sheep dumb before its shearers
he never opened his mouth.
Messenger: On December 5, 1996, Our Lord appeared to me at Holy Cross-Immaculata Church, after Mary had appeared on most of the 5ths since July 5, 1994. Our Lord now appeared, dying on the cross.
His withered body was horrifying to me. I cried and looked at Him in horror. This lasted about twenty minutes. It looked as if He could exert no effort, but His jaw moved and moved and moved. It was a big movement as His mouth moved. I heard no words. I was sickened.
This was the end of Mary's frequent appearances to me. A few days later, on the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, December 12, 1996, I was told to make the Mary's Message tape and circulate it on December 13, 1996.
Mary's Message from the Rosary of August 27, 1996
(In Chapter 7 of Apostle's Manual: The Shepherds of Christ Movement and the Completion of the Fatima Message)
Mary speaks: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and my heart was in such pain for I saw Him before my eyes. I saw Him covered with blood. I saw Him die. My heart, my children, my heart to watch my Son, but my heart, my heart, how I suffered for my little children of the world that give in to this world and give up the love of my Son. O my little children of light, I give you this message. Carry this light into the darkness for your Mother Mary, for I stood beneath the cross and I cried. I cried for the little ones. I cried for the young ones, the ones that do not care and will lose their souls. How do I make you see for you will not listen to me? What can I do? I come. I appear. I beg. I plead. I give you these gifts from my Son, and you reject me. I do not deliver messages very often anymore for I have been ignored. The message is the same. You do not read the messages I have given to you. Please help me. Help the little children. I appear. I appear. I appear, and I am ignored. I stood beneath the cross, and I cried. I cried, and my heart was in such anguish for my little children, for I am searching for them this day as I searched for the Child Jesus. Please, please help me. I cannot hold back the hand of my Son any longer. I am Mary, your Mother. I ask you to help my children. You are my children of light.
Song: O Lady of Light, shining so bright, be with us this day, guiding our way, O Lady, O Lady of Light.
Mary speaks: I appear to you as Our Mother of Sorrows.
(End of August 27, 1996 message)
Messenger: On December 17, 1996, Mary appeared on the building in Clearwater, Florida, looking as Our Lady of Guadalupe. The book Jesus and Mary gave us, Rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, was ready for circulation that same day. She appeared on the building in rainbow colors that matched the cover of the rainbow on the Rosary Book.
I wonder what this means, that He appears now with His mouth moving. He was handed over to His oppressors. In the end, all authority will be under His feet.
1 Corinthians 15:25 include here.
1 Corinthians 15:25
For he is to be king until he has made his enemies his footstool,...
Messenger: I see the rosary unfold in my life. I identify more and more with the mysteries of the lives of Jesus and Mary. I live the Sorrowful Mysteries, carrying the cross and suffering the persecution, trying to proclaim His Truth, but it became quite clear to me tonight that the Glorious Mysteries are firmly rooted in the heart of the Christian. To live only the first two sets, Joyful and Sorrowful, is to miss the glory.
In the 15th mystery Mary is crowned Queen of heaven and earth. She is not the Queen of many of her children's hearts now. We hear her lament at the beginning of this writing. In the end, His Heart will reign in all hearts and her Heart will triumph.
Mary speaks: My children, I give you the rosary. Study the meditations from Our Hearts, truth will be revealed to you in these writings.
Your God is love. How horribly my Son suffered for the lack of love from the children of the earth. My children, you have enormously offended your God. You are not loving to one another as you should be. He came in poverty to teach the world about love. Look at your world today and see how the world will celebrate my Son's birthday. People will not help me spread my message from Florida to bring peace, love and joy to the world. I appear on the building. Two years later the world has persecuted those that bring you the message.
The good news is Jesus is Lord, He is truly with you today in the Eucharist. The bad news is the world has ignored my Son. Now they ignore me when I appear to instruct them.
Oh children, I am sorry for your earth. I ask the faithful ones to pray the rosary with me at 6:30 p.m., asking for the special coming of the Holy Spirit. Begin first with the Shepherds of Christ prayers from the prayer manual.
My children, I cry for you.
Please come to my site in Florida December 17, 1998. Tell all to pray. I am Mary your Mother.
Q: How do I feel when you honor me? (This can be through glances, affirming words, smiling, a pat on the cheek, etc.)
