R. We
pray majorly united in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, for an
increase of faith, hope and love, in ourselves and in those
who do not believe, do not hope and do not love God as
they should.

8. A reading from Isaiah 61: 1-3, 6, 8-9 (Chrism
Mass Holy
Thursday)
9. R. The Apostles slept and Jesus went to them 3
times. Judas was about to betray Jesus. When we look at our own
lives, do we really see that we are working and trusting God
more, that we are growing more in the school that God has put us
in, the school of love? Are we really preparing ourselves as God
has called us to, preparing ourselves for heaven, that is
everlasting happiness – being united in perfect love?
Jeremiah was a prophet and he delivered the
prophecy that God ask him to deliver, and we know that Jeremiah
was thrown in the pit. And God, who has given to us so many
gifts, has given to us this Church, and has given to us the
sacraments. Do we really think today that God would not call to
us, in the messages that He is given in the Shepherds of Christ,
to help us to unite in the depth of His Heart, to be united to
the Mass, that this tremendous grace can be released, as we live
more united as members of the mystical body of Christ? What do
we think will really end up helping this world to be different? Do you
think that somewhere down the line something will happen, or
do you think that it will take God's Might in order for this
world to be more in that image and likeness of Christ? For it is
that the world and the Church and the individual Christian is in the
state of becoming, more Christ-like, but it takes our individual
hearts, but it takes faith, it takes us realizing that it is
God's grace that increases in us, this faith, that is needed to be
on fire with the love of God as He speaks of in the early Blue
Books.
It's like the angel before Fatima, the angel
said that we should pray for those who do not believe, do not
hope and do not love. Do you think that they really did pray for
that, or were they too busy just wondering if the message was true or
not, the message of the angel? Wouldn't it have been far better
if we would have listened to the message of Fatima, and grown in
that devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, of conversion, of
reparation as the Blessed Mother said at Fatima? We all know
that over 60,000,000 people were killed in World War II, and
just because 60,000,000 people were killed in World War II, does
that mean that we have obeyed the message of Fatima yet, that
Mary appears here telling us, that her children are dropping into
hell like rain. Many times we bring down great suffering on
ourselves because we do not obey God, we do not seek His will as
we should, and of course, we are not seeking to be lovers as God
has asked us to be, and preparing ourselves for everlasting
happiness in heaven. It can become too easy to decide that we
are not our brother's keeper.
And yet God has called us in the Shepherds of
Christ, to pray these prayers for the priests, the Church and the
world and to spread them in all the 8 languages throughout the
whole world. Why is Mary appearing here, telling us that we
should pray the Holy Spirit Novena twice a day. I think it only
takes about 5 or 6 minutes, for it is praying for that increase of
faith, hope and love. It is praying for healing within us. It is
praying for so many things, the virtues, the gifts of the Holy
Spirit, that we can really grow to be more that witness for
Christ in the world. But we can just get into the same old, same
old, mind slot that we have, where we just live every day with
the same agenda, telling ourselves that we are doing something different
when we are running our own life, rather than really surrendering and
realizing how important our lives are as members of the mystical
body of Christ, that we belong to God. He created us and we are
His.
We have read in the readings about Abraham and
Noah and these magnificent prophets, and yet we come into this time
in salvation history, and we can even ignore that the Blessed
Mother's image appeared on this building here, or that she
had a message for the world to say, or that maybe the
Mass Book that does have the Imprimatur, could
help us to really be better members of the mystical body of
Christ, interceding for the priests, and the Church and the world,
that God not only gave us those prayers, but He gave us the
Mass Book. The first writing in the Mass Book is like
so powerful, but if you can go a little further to read the
Blue Book messages, like Blue Book 11, you can really see
how important it is, our part in the work of redemption.
Of course, the devil will tell us that we
shouldn't trust others, and we need to think about ourselves and
we can stay divided, and we don't have to do anything because we
are in charge of ourselves. Isn't that great? With that kind of
attitude we are really in charge of ourselves, who do you think
is going to be the one that is going to go out there and do like
the Pope,
Pope John Paul II, what he did? Did he sit around and say to
himself, now I
have to think about myself? He changed the face of many of the
countries, because of his love, because of his oneness with God.
Can we not even do these little things like praying these
prayers and spreading the Blue Books so that we can really believe
whole-hearted in the power in the Mass, in our role as members
of the Mystical body of Christ, that we think that God would
take on flesh, come down here, die on the Cross like He did, but
then in the state that the world is in, leave us to ourselves, or are
we blind or are we so focused on the seen and not the unseen? God
created the seen and the unseen. And just because we don't see
it,
or because we are trying to prove it scientifically, does that
mean that it isn't? How can a mystery be a mystery, when you want
it to be so clear to you, that you can almost prove it
scientifically? A mystery is a mystery! Let's all explain the
mystery of the Trinity.
Let's explain how grace is being
outpoured right now in this place, where the Mother of God's
image appeared for 7 1/2 years on the 5th. Why would I do this
for 22 years, when the Blessed Mother appears to me. I remember they
said that to me. I would go in there and they would say, 'people are not believing you at the Holy Spirit
Center, why would you go in there, when people are talking about
you?' And I said, 'well, if the Blessed Mother is appearing to you, are you
going to go check out and see who is believing you and go in and see
her?' I mean, it was just twisted.
I am here to deliver a message
from God, of the power of the Mass, and us as members of the
mystical body of Christ, and I didn't start delivering it today.
I delivered it in 1995 - 20 years ago. And that Mass Book
got the Imprimatur, and read the Prayer before the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass, and know that at every single moment that
we are united to the Masses that are going on around the world, and our
lives are important.
I have grandchildren. I want them to grow up
in a world where there is love, not where evil is flourishing, or
where we have to end up going out and deciding that it is up to
men to change things. It is up to us, folks. That's why the
Blessed Mother appeared on this building for 7 1/2 years. Look
at the captivity in salvation history of the past, and every time
that they did their own wills and they rebelled against God, who
suffered? They suffered. They made more problems for themselves.
And that's what we do today. God is telling us about the Mass,
the power in the Mass, the power in that time before the Blessed
Sacrament, how important these prayer meetings are, in this
building where the Mother of God appeared for 7 1/2 years.
Dear God, please give us vision.
10. R. I truly believe that if a person lives the
Blue Book messages, that their lives will be a witness, that will
help bring down this grace for their brothers in preparation for
our own eternal happiness, that we will answer the call of the
Mother as she gave it to me on August 27, 1996, 3 months before
she appeared here. The call was 'I stood beneath the cross of my
Son, and my heart was in such anguish for the little ones that
would be lost forever – the little ones that would be lost
forever'. What does she want us to do? Read the Mass Book,
read Blue Book 9. It's just got a few extra messages in it, that
were demessagized so we could get the Imprimatur. Be that
member of the mystical body of Christ, that Christ wants all of
us to be.
How many times have you read the scriptures,
and you see the barrenness of the women in the Old Testament,
and you see the barrenness of Elizabeth, and then you know that
Elizabeth in her old age came and brought forth John the
Baptist. And isn't John the one crying in the desert, to make ready
the way of the Lord. How many parables and writings do we know
of the barren fig tree, and he will go and dig around it. Let us
put our hands on the truth of the Gospel, that this world is
becoming more and more barren, and what it needs is, to be fed –
like Jesus said, for how many weeks before He gave me the Blue Book
messages, "Feed the Hungry", back, way back then, in 1991, I
heard it for like 7 weeks, 'feed the hungry, feed the hungry,
feed the hungry', and then He gave me the Blue Book writings.
Is
this world hungry? They need to be fed. They are thirsty. They
are longing for this outpouring of grace, that you and I can
help by becoming more and more holy. That means that we don't give
into the jealousy and the anger and the envy, and we decide that
we don't have to trust anybody, we can just go there and be by
ourselves. We are really in there praying to God to change our
hearts, to be hearts of love, to be deeper members of the
mystical body of Christ, to quit listening to satan that says,
you can't trust the people that God called you to work with.
None of us are perfect – you, me – all of us are sinners. Don't
expect perfection of anybody!
There was something He gave me last week, how some people, they want to put on a pedestal, and then they think
they are going to turn them into the mother and father that did
stuff, that hurt them, and fix the old wounds with their parents. We are imperfect. Pope
John Paul II was imperfect. Every human person is not perfect, except the Blessed Mother,
who was conceived without sin. We are imperfect and we have
tendencies toward anger and jealousy and envy etc. But you can
see the witness of a person like Pope John Paul II or Pope
Francis and His going out.
You know, I look at
my brother who is a priest and he is trying so hard to still
serve at like 77 years old, and Fr. Mike and people call them up
all day. They give so much to others. They are being
called upon constantly and they are saying yes. They are not in
their comfort zone, sitting around and then deciding that they can't
even give. They are giving and thank God that those old priests,
that are old and tired, and he has 2 knee replacements, they
are out there and they are giving and they are giving and they
are giving and they are giving. Where would we be without our priests that are
giving? Don't we see the witness of Christ in them? And then we
act the way that we do, where we can't give much? What are we saving
ourselves for? I don't know. I don't get it.
Glory Be
R. After 20 years of watching Our Blessed Mother
appear, and just having people watch me to see if they think I am telling
the truth or not. It just is ridiculous, after she appeared on
the building here. It's just – what He says in those Blue Books
and then the Mass Book, about the Mass is the truth. Even the
gift of how every person comes into this world, the intimacy of a
man and a woman is in such unity. And the devil can take some
people where they can't even hold hands with somebody in Church,
because they just keep getting more and more into where they
just end up getting isolated. When God talks about dwelling in
His Heart, He is talking about showering us with the rich
grace and our very lives are witnesses in the
world, by the fact that we live to do the will of God. And for me
that may be coming down from Cincinnati and doing this retreat,
no matter whether its hard or not hard. Rather than sitting in church all
day and deciding that we are going to do it our way. It means giving
God what He wants.

Great Gift of the Mass
January 1, 1997
R. I went to Mass at Fr.
Carter’s and I felt Jesus give Himself to me when Father gave me
the Eucharist. I saw Jesus. I saw Jesus give me the host and
Jesus gave Himself to me.
January 2, 1997 - God Gives
Himself to Us
“In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.”
“The grace of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and the love of God and
the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”
R. God pours out His grace in this Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass. It is the greatest gift when God gives Himself to us.
March 5, 2015 Rosary continues
R. This is in the Mass Book. It is in
Blue Book 14, January 2, 1997.
January 2, 1997 - God Gives
Himself to Us continues
We share with God His life, given to us abundantly in the Mass.
He gives Himself to us and we give ourselves to Him.
March 5, 2015 Rosary continues
R. We learn how to love and to be loved. A lot
of times we get stifled in our relationships by the fact that we
don't let other people love us back and we always want to be the
operator. Well, if we give it, it's okay, but if somebody really
is giving love to us, we don't know what to do with it. So we
can distance ourselves or cause division ourselves from
others. We want to give love and learn to receive
love from others and be united and be happy! Learning to receive
love is vitally important to the unity of being a member of the
mystical body of Christ.
January 2, 1997 - God Gives
Himself to Us continues
We share with God His life, given to us
abundantly in the Mass. He gives Himself to us and we give
ourselves to Him.
The great love affair between God and man: His
Holy Mass. The priest is another Christ to us. It is Christ
present,
through the priest, celebrating the Mass. We must see Christ in
the priest, see Him celebrate the Mass, see His beautiful brown
hair, His gentle face, see Him, our Savior.
Song: A Song from Jesus
7.
January 2, 1997 - God Gives
Himself to Us continues
This Jesus Christ that came was born an infant
and gave Himself to His death on the cross that we would share
His life. See Him now in the
Mass, giving Himself in the greatest gift of all. He gives us
His divine love and His divine life.
Oh, we thank You for Your life. We know Jesus died and rose and
gave us a sharing in His holy life. His life is now abundantly
poured, as a fountain to us, especially in the Mass. Then we
hear His word. Let the word of God penetrate our being. Let us
feel this Living Word of God. As a two-edged sword, it comes
forth with such conviction and love and it penetrates the souls
of the faithful with such love. It is food indeed, food for our
soul.
He is the Good Shepherd. He speaks to us. He gives us all we
want. “Yahweh is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” (Ps. 23:1) He
gives us green pastures, and His water pours out and refreshes
us. He outpours His grace as a fountain to feed us with His
life.
He is a just God, good and kind, all loving, for He is Love. We
want for nothing for He outpours His love and His life to us in
the Mass. We feast on His Body and Blood and are fed with His
Word. We become one in Him and He shares Himself with us.
8. January 2, 1997
- God Gives Himself to Us continues
It is through the Mass celebrated by the hands
of a holy priest that we will experience the Mass the way Christ
intends. These writings are insights which hopefully will help
lead you to the spring of life-giving water, the fountain of
love and life He outpours in the Mass.
There will be a new earth when men will see with the light of
seven suns. They will know God. A people walking in darkness
will see a great light. They will no longer be blind, they will
be enlightened, they will love God with the greatest love in the
Mass. They will feast on His Body and Blood and will be united
as one body in His holy Church through His life given to us in
the Eucharist.
We will drink copiously from the fountain of grace which He
pours out in the Mass. We will be filled with His love, absorbed
with the love of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and feasting
on His divine life.
We see with the vision of God. We partake in such a union with
God. We see with the light the Spirit gives to us. The priest
celebrates the Mass and we know God with such an intense knowing
in this union. We are saturated with His life flowing from the
hands of His consecrated priest.
March 5, 2015 Rosary continues
R. You know,
in baptism we share in His loving activity, and so God really
wants us to realize how much that is so pleasing to God, when we
are united in deep love in the Mass, because we are giving great
love to God, because we are sharing in His loving activity,
because that capacity of loving is elevated through baptism. But
if we think that it is up to us to grow in love, we are not
getting it. Because that is that imprint of God that has been
placed on our soul through baptism, and He gives us this sharing
in this supernatural capacity of having greater faith, and hope
and love, because they are theological virtues. And we need to
pray fervently for this, and then, to be willing to let go and
let God take charge and surrender in our lives. Which is what
Fr. Carter would always say, the second Blue Book is a
tremendous book of surrender. To continue here –
January 2, 1997 - God Gives
Himself to Us continues
R.
And I look at Him, the priest, and I see Jesus there. I see Him
giving Himself to Me. I see the new and Holy City. I see with
such clarity the great gift that God gives to us in the Mass!
March 5, 2015 Rosary continues
R. It's like being on top of the mountain with
grace being outpoured all over the whole world, and we see
Jesus, just like at Mount Tabor, we see how He went away from
the other disciples to pray, that picture is so beautiful, that
we have, of Jesus overlooking the city. And we really have to
see this Mass with it's capability of outpouring this grace that
men, as they receive this gift of God's grace, will be able to
see with the light of seven suns. But the more that the world
gets into this capsule-like, where it's up to man, the more that
they want scientifically, for things to be proved before they
take it as part of themselves, they are going away from faith! Faith is not like that. Faith is
seeing the vision of God and it's a mystery.
And it's take the letting
go and asking God to work in our soul and to help us to have
whatever we need, and that's why the angel of Portugal said to
pray for those who do not believe, do not hope and do not love
God. Because it was a message from God that said, if you do not
believe and hope and love, then this message that Mary is going
to deliver at Fatima, is not going to have it's impact, because
people aren't going to believe it. Do you believe it here, that
people are believing? How is the world? Does the world have to
have a scientific proof? That's not faith! Look at the faith of
Abraham. Why do we have that, in last Sunday's Gospel – and then
He took them up to Mount Tabor and they saw this magnificence,
the seen and the unseen, and up unto that point, Jesus just looked
like any other man. And that's what that Isaiah says, He didn't look
like anything much. And yet He was God.
9. January 2, 1997
- God Gives Himself to Us continues
We learn how to love in the Mass, for we unite
to God. He gives us such an intimate sharing in His divine love
that we carry His love out to the world.
March 5, 2015 Rosary continues
R. It is God that is loving in us, God that is
operating in us. As long as we got control, we are holding
ourselves back.
January 2, 1997
- God Gives Himself to Us continues
In this union we know His loving to an intense
degree and we carry this love out to others. We share in an
intense way in His Divine act of loving.
March 5, 2015 Rosary continues
R. Yes, keep control of yourself. Make sure you
got everything in control. That is just like a menace to the
spiritual life. This is in the Blue Book 14, it's in the
Mass Book. It's in the Blue Book 9. And then I
remember exactly what I was given when I got this Prayer
Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Sometimes in the
Mass, I would just be so overwhelmed, with wanting to give love
to God, and it seemed like I knew God inside of me, loving
Himself in me. And then in reading Fr. Carter's writings, and
understanding how we share in God's loving activity and we are
loving God more and more deeply in Him and we grow in this capacity to love more
deeply, because He elevates that capacity to love in baptism, to share
in this activity of God's love. It's supernatural. And it is so
pleasing to God the more we grow in our loving capacity - the
more we are likened to God.
But if we get down to the
point where we think we are controlling everything, we aren't
even thinking about the unseen. We are trying to prove
everything, and then not taking it to ourselves until we are
sure. That is not faith. You are not going to be sure of a
mystery, the mystery of the Trinity, is an ever evolving
process, until we are wrapped in the beatific vision for all
eternity in eternal happiness. So the more that we just keep
trying to prove everything, and to know it for fact, the more we
are deviating from the letting go that is necessary to see the
vision of God, to believe in the mystery, and to let God fill us
with knowing Him through this elevated knowing capacity that He
gives to us. It needs to be developed. It is a capacity!
Our knowing and loving
capacity needs to be developed, and we have to pray to God for
the grace to work in our hearts, to give us this supernatural
help, so that we can respond, call - response, it's all call -
response. If you are the guy who is the head-cheese, you're not
listening to His call, you are out there telling Him what you
are going to do. I am going to spend all day in Church praying
to You God, I got 5 million tons of prayers that I pray
everyday. You got an agenda, you're doing it the way that you
do. He's calling you to work with somebody else, but you are not
going to work with them because it is too hard.
Well, welcome to the crowd!
It's hard to work with others. What about these priests that
have to work with others all day, anybody can come in there.
Somebody comes in there and they need to go to confession, and
they are really a hard person. And he can see a priest and what
God is calling him to do, how his whole life can be changed
through Christ acting in him. Why did God ask us to pray for the
priests, the Church and the world? Because they have got it
hard. So I heard several things, about priests that were leaving
because of other women, how they were suffering because of
persecution, but they need grace to help them deal with
persecution and temptation. They
need these prayers.
And the Church has to check
things out, when somebody comes in with a bunch of evidence
against a priest.
It can be not true, but they have to check it. It's just the way that it is, that there is suffering. That
Christ had these wounds in His hands, and His head and in His
Heart, and we are going to suffer too, but we share in a greater
life in Him, because of this suffering when we do it right. And
He may call some of these priests to tremendous suffering, where
they have to go through persecution and ridicule, and they have
to end up staying in their vocation. And then somebody else can
come when they have already been down, and just start to come up
and knock them down again, a reporter, somebody else. These
priests need our prayers, and they are out there every day on
the front line, trying to be Christ to others. Are they
all perfect? No, they are not all perfect, and some of them can
sin. But there are a lot of priests that are out there that are
really, really holy -- priests need our prayers.
The Prayer Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
March 5, 2015 Rosary continues
R. And when we love God in the Mass,
we are sharing in
God's loving activity, and giving Him great love.
The Prayer Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
continues
Let me be a holy sacrifice and unite with God
in the sacrament of His greatest love.
I want to be one in Him in this act of love, where He gives
Himself to me and I give myself as a sacrifice to Him. Let me be
a holy sacrifice as I become one with Him in this my act of
greatest love to Him. (R. Let's all say this.)
Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him.
March 5, 2015 Rosary continues
R. That's why we are here. The greatest
commandment is that we love God with our whole heart, our
whole soul, and our whole being. And we being members of the
mystical body of Christ are called by God to ardently love Him
in the Mass. Distractions can enter our mind where we just sit
there and think about everything under the sun. Let's go to Mass
and let's make it a love affair with Him.
The Prayer Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
continues
May I help make reparation to His adorable
Heart and the heart of His Mother, Mary. With greatest love, I
offer myself to You and pray that You will accept my sacrifice
of greatest love. I give myself to You and unite in Your gift of
Yourself to me. Come and possess my soul.
March 5, 2015 Rosary continues
R. Yes!
The Prayer Before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
continues
Cleanse me, strengthen me, heal me. Dear Holy Spirit act in the
heart of Mary to make me more and more like Jesus.
Father, I offer this my sacrifice, myself united to Jesus in the
Holy Spirit to You. Help me to love God more deeply in this act
of my greatest love.
Give me the grace to grow in my knowledge, love and service of
You and for this to be my greatest participation in the Mass.
Give me the greatest graces to love You so deeply in this Mass,
You who are so worthy of my love.
March 5, 2015 Rosary continues
R. How many Hail Marys have I said?
10. Hail Mary
R. Listen to this. This is from April the
13th, of 1994, God's Blue Book, Volume II, 21 years ago.
I Love You -
April 13, 1994
Jesus: How, child, do I, Jesus, tell
you I love you? You hold on to silly things, when God is in your
midst and is ardently loving you. I am Jesus Christ, the Son of
God. I am writing to each precious child this day. I am on fire
for love of you. I remain in the Eucharist to be with you with
My ardent love. I did not want to leave My beloved ones at the
Last Supper. I love you so, My dear and ardently loved children.
I remain with you this day in the Blessed Sacrament, the same
Jesus Who died a brutal death on the cross.
Do you know I am truly present
there? Do you know that God waits every day for you in the
tabernacle? Do you comprehend even a minute amount of My love?
You will never on earth know how I love you.

March 5, 2015 Rosary continues
R. You know a lot of times
all through the day, it's like our mind just keeps running non-stop, more and more
on the
same old groves, and the old tapes that are negative, that are
worldly, that are selfish, that are prideful, that are whatever
else, angry, what are what – I remember Him saying that we could
listen to those rosaries or listen to the radio, and those
rosaries would really help our minds when times got really bad,
to stay focused on God and that's the truth. It's like some of
those tapes, and Regina has all these different dics out there. I
play, Sheila has the prayers as she says them, she's got the
prettiest voice, and she prays on that disc for our intentions,
I play that all the time in my car, it's the Holy Spirit Novena,
that the Holy Spirit gave us, it's the prayers that Jesus gave
us. She prays them so nice, then she prays a beautiful rosary
that we got that's really short, in the month of the Sacred
Heart. I remember that Fr. Carter loved that rosary. It's just
beautiful. And to put that on in our car and to know that the
devil is really attacking people's marriages, he's attacking a
lot, anyway that the devil can get in to bring the level of
holiness down, he is going to be attacking right now. It's all over
the world.
Why can't we
really be the Shepherds of Christ that are out
there that have that confidence in this calling that God has
given to us and how important it is that we are united to the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass, that we are living this vocation as
members of the Shepherds of Christ and we know we live it
with each other and we know that God is outpouring His grace
because the Mass is the Sacrifice of Calvary sacramentally made
present, and we are helping to change the world. When you come
here on the 5th, I just know from all the different things that
I have gone through on the 5th in twenty-some years, that the
devil don't like the 5th and he don't like the 13th. It's
a big thing to God for you to be united and praying with us on the
5th and the 13th.
If you can come down here and pray, the Mother
of God appeared on this building for 7 1/2 years in her image,
and she is still appearing to me. She appeared last 5th. There
is a lot of grace that is released in going to China, the
Eucharist is exposed, we have had people in there since 2004, 24 hours a day, praying in front of the
Eucharist, and before that for another 8 years. We prayed all day in that church,
and Fr. Carter would celebrate Mass in there, at least 5 times a week,
China is really a holy place, so when you can come down there,
tune in on the 13th, He really does outpour a lot of grace. We
need to realize this vocation that God has called us, praying
for our priests, the Church and the world and then having the
faith, that we don't need a scientific proof to know that God is
answering these prayers. We need to pray for greater faith. We
need to ask God to strengthen us. Let God take over – Surrender
to God.
Christ was Crowned With a Crown of Thorns
R. God the
Father is the Creator, and we are the creature. I
pray that all of us will realize our creaturehood, that we can
be so in love with God, that we just want to serve Him, and love
each other.
1. R. This is what Jesus told me to put in the
front of the Blue Book 11 because it is so important how we help
in the work of redemption in our lives. This is actually from
The Movement of Eucharistic Theology” in Chicago Studies, Vol.
10, but it was in one of Fr. Carter's
books.
Excerpt from Response in Christ - Chapter 4
by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.
In schematic outline we have discussed the manner in which the
baptized Christian extends his Mass to his daily existence. As
he so lives out his Mass, he is becoming more Christlike. He
becomes a more perfect priest and victim for his next
participation in the eucharistic sacrifice.42
March 5, 2015 Rosary continues
R. And I want to pray for Monsignor and Fr. Ken
who help us here.
Excerpt from Response in Christ - Chapter 4
by Fr. Edward J. Carter, S.J.
The beautiful cycle which the Mass contains lies exposed
before us. As part of this cycle the Christian is intimately
involved in the process of continued redemption. The Mass is the
center of the Christian life: “. . . the liturgy is the summit
toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same
time it is the fount from which all her power flows.”

And Jesus gives this message November 21,
2013.
Jesus: I call you to live your lives as devout members of
the mystical body of Christ. I have given these writings that
men will realize that they are to live united deeply to the Mass
going on around the world. Your lives, given as an offering, a
sacrifice every moment in union with the Mass going on around
the world. Your life, a sacrifice, offered to the Father, in
union with the Mass in oneness with Me, in the Holy Spirit
through the intercession of the Blessed Mother with all the
angels and saints and the souls in purgatory.
Your lives given as members of My mystical body can help to
bring down great graces for the priest, the Church and the
world.
Excerpt from Response in Christ - Chapter 4 by Fr. Edward J.
Carter, S.J.
“How does the Christian help Christ redeem the world?
(Henceforth the term “world” is to be understood as including
both rational and nonrational creation.) As previously stated,
the Christian helps Christ redeem the world by reliving Christ’s
mysteries. The same “events” or mysteries which accomplished the
objective redemption further the subjective redemption also.
Since at the heart of Christ’s mysteries are His death and
Resurrection, it is especially these that the Christian must
relive. As the Christian dies mystically with Christ through
loving conformity with the Father’s will, he rises with Christ
to an ever greater share in the Resurrection, in the newness of
life, in the life of grace. As the Christian in this manner
relives the paschal mystery of Christ, he is accomplishing not
only his own redemption, but he is also, in a mysterious yet
real manner, helping Christ redeem the world.”

sins and for the sins of the world. Dear God please help us to

world that great grace will be released for this world, that
soon that we will have the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the Triumph

spread on the whole world, and the Church, we cast the devil
into the fires of hell. We ask for a special outpouring of the
Holy Spirit, and we consecrate the whole Church and the world
and all of our families and ourselves to the Sacred Heart of
Jesus and to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in as far as we are
able. Amen.

4. From the
Breviary
All-powerful God, Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ,
by water and the Holy Spirit
you freed your sons and daughters from sin
and gave them new life.
Send your Holy Spirit upon them
to be their helper and guide.
Give them the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of right judgment and courage,
the spirit of knowledge and reverence.
Fill them with the spirit of wonder and awe in your
presence.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
5. From the
Breviary
God our Father, by
raising Christ your Son you conquered the power of death and
opened for us the way to eternal life. Let our celebration
today raise us up and renew our lives by the Spirit that is
within us. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your
Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, for ever and ever. Christ is Risen indeed from the
dead. Amen.

8.
R. Let's think
about Christ as He carried our sins
on His back and how He said in the
Blue Book so many times that His
greatest sufferings were not the
sufferings that He suffered to His
Body, but the sufferings that He
suffered to His
Heart, for the rejection and the way
that men would treat Him. Dear
Jesus, we want to ask pardon for the
offenses of the human race against
You. And thank You for carrying the
cross and suffering for us, and
coming to this earth and taking
on flesh. And we ask You now as we unite
together as a body to the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass, that dear
Heavenly Father that You will
outpour more grace then ever before
for this tremendous gift that You
have given to us, and realizing how
we as members of the mystical body
of Christ united, can unite to the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and can
bring down grace for the priest, the
Church and the world. We want to
please you. We want to ask through
the powerful intercession of Our
Lady of Clearwater, we want to unite
in one mind and one heart, praying
for ourselves and our families, for
the priests, the Church and the
world, praying for all our members
and donors and their families,
praying for all of our needs, and Dan
and Melanie, Eva, all the people on
your list, Sheila's, Jerry's, Mike
and Sally Jo, and Richard and all them
that came to help out in China. And
we want to pray, there was a lot of
water problems in China, and we got
a lot of water problems here, it's
really strange. I hope that we got
the wells fixed, but there's a lot
of air conditioning problems and we
want to pray that we can end up
having whatever it takes to be able
to fix these bursting pipes in
China, and air conditioning that's
doing all kinds of awful things
here. We have to replace the air
conditioners. We want to pray for
the availability to be able to do
this, help us with this dear God.
Amen.

The Crucifixion of Jesus
R. We see Jesus hanging on the cross
and we see the Blessed Mother under the cross, and we hear the
words that she spoke –
Mary: I stood beneath the cross of my Son, and
my heart was in such pain, for my little ones, that would be
lost forever.
1. Mary: And so you ask my children,
why has God the Father allowed me to appear in this building?
And I say to you that Jesus has given to you the program of the
Shepherds of Christ, and it is a vocation, it is a calling, that
you live the messages of God's Blue Book, that you live
the program that God has given to you, that as you grow in
greater holiness, more and more, you will pray powerful prayers,
to pray for the priests, the Church and the world. I am Mary,
your Heavenly Mother. I call out to you, I stood beneath the
cross of my Son, and my heart was in such anguish for my little
ones, that would be lost forever. Hear me, my children. I am
your Mother.
2. Mary: I stood beneath the cross of
my Son, and I cried for my little ones that would be lost
forever to the fires of hell. Listen to me, my children. I am
Our Lady of Fatima in the Americas, Our Lady of Clearwater.
3. Mary: I appear to you, that you will
pray ever more, for this increase of faith, hope and love, that
you will depend on God and not give in to the selfish control,
as the devil has tempted so many in the world today. Surrender,
give to God, what is His due. Give to God your heart of love.
Love one another, be united, praying, united to the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass, going on around the world. This is a
message from God, given to you on this March the 5th, 2015. I am
Mary, Our Lady of Clearwater.
4. R. And she is praying with you.
Sing: Come Holy Ghost
R. And we pray, oh Heavenly Mother,
through your powerful intercession, united as one, praying to
the Father, united to all the Masses around the world, for peace
in this world, for you are the Queen of Peace, and we beg you to
intercede to the Father, for grace for this world, for we are
sorry for the sins of this human race, and for our sins. Oh
Heavenly Mother, thank you for this great gift here. Thank our
Heavenly Father for the gifts of the 5ths, and for this
building, for the Blue Books, for this vocation that you have
called us to.
Dear Holy Spirit, fill our hearts with the fire of
God's love. Help us to have greater faith and hope and love.
Please God, hear our prayer that as we live, more and more, this
vocation united, that tremendous grace will be outpoured, for we
know that it is by Your Might that the world will change, only
by Your Might and Your grace. Please help us to reach people
with these prayers and these writings, dear God. Help people to
come and to use the waters and to know the great gift of having
the waters in their homes, the glass in their homes, to pray as
families united, to pray for marriages, that the devil can not
get in through lust, that divides people that think that they
are here to have sinful pleasures, that are offensive to God,
and know that
marriage is sacred. Marriage is a sacrament. That families must stay
united and pray together like a little church.
Oh Heavenly
Mother, we pray for all these intentions, that you and God the
Father and Jesus and the Holy Spirit have asked us to pray on
these 5ths. We want to help make reparation for our sins and the
sins of this earth. Dear God, we have faith that You will hear
these prayers, because it is with Your Might that the world will
change. Please help our priests to be strong and holy and to not
give up their vocations, because it becomes so difficult for
them, but to have the grace to handle the situations, and help
the married couples to not give up their vocations, because the
devil attacks the vocations of religious, the married, the
priests. We are weak, but in You we are strong.
5. R. Mary, Queen of Peace, help us.
6. R. Mary has asked us to watch the
Movie, The Lady of Fatima, the little one with the children. You
don't have to stay, but maybe you could have that movie if you
can't stay and watch that on your own, and really think about,
and watch the Bernadette Movie, too, because we were told to watch those
this week. We actually had 3 Bernadette Movies. So that we will grow
in the gift of knowing how much a gift it is what God has given
to us here, and not take it lightly. But to realize how
important the waters are and the glass is, and to be
faith-filled.
You know we can almost become scientific in the
fact that we think well, if you prove it to me, then I will
believe. Like Thomas, until I stick my hands into your wounds,
then I will believe God. He said blessed are those who have not
seen and have believed. Look at Christ, how much more do we want to
see, and the gift of the Eucharist is such a gift. Gosh, it's
such a
gift. Our priests are such a gift. Our Church is such a gift.
We
want to always raise up and satan wants us to focus on ourselves
so that we see ourselves on the top, and then we get jealous and
envious, and want to drag people down, rather than
realizing God is sending these messages to lift us up, and
we need to listen to them. The world needs to be lifted up,
through the grace that God is outpouring through our holy united
prayers in this vocation of the Shepherds of Christ to help
renew the Church and the world.
If you are looking at me you
will find out that I'm what's left. God took Fr. Carter 15 years
ago, and I'm the co-founder and I'm the one that's left. And I am
a human person and so are you. But so were the Apostles and so
was St. Padre Pio, and so was Pope John Paul II, and so were all
the other saints, and so was St. Paul and so we saw the wounded
human nature of saints. It is that desire to do His plan to love
God with all our hearts and all our souls, and our whole being
and to work with others, that God has put us with, and not turn
them into the perfect mother or father that we never had or what ever
else we are turning them into, not to fit them into
relationships that we had in the past and try to work out unfinished
business on them.
Look at what God has given to us in the
priests, and the Church and the world. Look at the gift of this
site, and the apparitions of the Blessed Mother. Look at the
books and read the books and enjoy that intimacy of knowing more
and more deeply God, the insight into the mystery of the Trinity,
begging for greater knowledge so that our capacity to know and
love is growing, supernaturally, as God outpours His grace, and
not turning into the world where we think, if you show me then,
I'll might say 'yes'. A mystery is a mystery.
7. R. What a vocation. If we loved our
brothers, we would see how precious we are as Jesus says in the
Song from Jesus, to want to operate in us, and He wants to use
us, to help bring His gifts of His love to others. What a gift, to love and
to be loved, not to say, well, I'll do it as long as I am in
control, but I don't really accept love from others. That don't
work. That's not the way God intended it. He loves us and
wants our love given in return. He wants us to trust in His
love and that starts by working with others, when we trust
each other and so we want to be trustworthy, we never do
anything to try to hurt other people. God gives us a sharing in
His loving activity, so therefore all the acts that we perform
should be to good. God gives us passion, to love. He didn't give
us passion to be angry, passion to hurt others intentionally,
passion to be jealous and envious, angry, prideful. He gives us
passion to be more and more, in that image of God, and God is
love.
8. Mary: And you are in the school of
my Son, who loves you. His Heart is on fire for love of you.
Will you stand on that day, and you will see how you have grown,
more and more, in His image and likeness, how you have reached
out in your vocation in the Shepherds of Christ, as He operated
in you to bring that message of love that I give, that Jesus
gives, that God the Father gives, that my Spouse the Holy Spirit
gives, to a world that is bleeding.
Until the messages of My love, Jesus says,
are circulated in this world, the blood shed in the Church will
continue.
9. Sing: Little Baby Hands and Feet
Sing: See the Eyes that Look at Mary
10. Hail Mary
Hail Holy Queen
The Memorare
R. And Mary wants us to say 10 Hail
Marys for her intentions, and also to give everybody a Blue Book
7 and 14 if they don't have it.
10 Hail Marys
R. Pretty fast we should start that
movie. If anybody wants anything in the store, Regina will go out
in the store, but next month we will probably come back like on the
30th of March, and do the Holy Week prayers here because the site
will be open for the pilgrims that come on Holy Saturday and
Easter Sunday, and so we won't have the 5th as normal. Sheila
will play the 5th that Jesus gives me on the radio, so you can
still tune in and it will be a 5th that God has given to me, to
play and He would like you to come here at 6:20pm on the 5th,
but I won't be here on the 5th, and the site will be open on
Easter day, all day, for pilgrims to come on Easter, if they
want to. So we will start the retreat next month, really it's
this month, on the 30th of March and we will have the prayers on
the 30th of March. Okay. Thanks.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son and
the Holy Spirit. Amen.
