A Message from Jesus! ‏  

Jesus: Love is giving
I gave to My death on the cross because I love you.
I love you this day
I would give Myself to My death today for you My precious soul.
I am Love. 

I command you to love. 

The more you love, you are as the Father created you in the image and likeness of God. 

The more you love, the more you are likened to Me. 

God the Father created you in love.
He picked you from all the possible souls to be His beautiful creation - to live more and more in love.
You are to be instruments of love
Instruments of unity
You are to be a uniting force in this world, for I have given to you the secrets of My on-fire-Heart of Love
to be an example of this love before all. 

My Center in China is My Eucharistic Center to bring unity to all the souls who come for prayer there.
It is to teach men of this unity that is to exist because of your devoted love of God and loving in giving as sisters and brothers to each other. 

Loving in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament leads you to be a more loving person as you are filled with the grace I give you to be instruments of peace and love. 

My Movement is to bring the Reign of My Most Sacred Heart and the Triumph of My Mother's Heart to this world.
This is for unity and loving and truth and being likened to God more and more. 

I am a God of justice.
The very hairs of your head are numbered.
I have given this Movement to teach the world about unity and love.
I have given this gift of teaching more about the unity of the Trinity,
When you love - you want to give to the other.

It impels your heart to action of giving, despite the cost you are put into action and motivated with deep love in the heart to give to God, to give to others, to be filled with peace because you hold not anger or bitterness for anyone - you love God's will for you. 

You love those who are your enemies - you love those who I have called you to work with - you advance to greater and greater unity with your fellow Man. 

You see the plan of the Father and that is your focus - listening to the Holy Spirit who fills you with His gifts
with His counsel, with His fruits.
Joy is in you because you live to do the Father's will.
It is like Mary - 

She was the little daughter of the Father - the perfect handmaid of the Lord. 

She was not selfish - she lived to please God.
She was God's in every way. 

She was consecrated to God. 

Mary is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. 

It is knowing love which is action from the heart.
It is your desire to love in your heart.
You do not need to be prompted - you love with a heart of love. 

In a heart of anger there is darkness.
In a heart of love there is light. 

I am Jesus.
I am the light of the world.
I am the way, the truth and the life.

                (10) Mark 14: 32-44

They came to a plot of land called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, ‘Stay here while I pray.’ Then he took Peter and James and John with him. And he began to feel terror and anguish. And he said to them, ‘My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here, and stay awake.’ And going on a little further he threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, this hour might pass him by. ‘Abba,  Father!’ he said, ‘For you everything is possible. Take this cup away from me. But let it be as you, not I, would have it.’ He came back and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, ‘Simon, are you asleep? Had you not the strength to stay awake one hour? Stay awake and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.’ Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. And once more he came back and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy; and they could find no answer for him. He came back a third time and said to them, ‘You can sleep on now and have your rest. It is all over. The hour has come. Now the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up! Let us go! My betrayer is not far away.’

And at once, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came up and with him a number of men armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. Now the traitor had arranged a signal with them saying, ‘The one I kiss, he is the man. Arrest him, and see he is well guarded when you lead him away.’

                (1) Jesus was tied to the pillar –
                    Think of men enslaved to bad

                    Like enslaved to bad habits,
                        of anger, pride, jealousy,
                        envy, slothfulness, lust,
                        greed, gluttony –

                (2) R. Oh God, please break the chains
                    in our lives that keep us
                    from doing Your will –
                    and these chains are the chains
                    of our own will opposed to You –

                    we pray for the human race
                    that has offended You with
                    their sins –
                    Oh God - help us please –

                (4) R. See Jesus now at the pillar –
                    See Jesus tied
                    See the men beating Him and
                        laughing –
                    See the men tearing His flesh
                        and laughing –

                    want to help make reparation
                    for our sins and the sins
                    of the world –

                (7) R. Oh God, we pray for healing for
                    ourselves –
                    healing in body, mind and
                    soul – for all of us –
                    Oh God, outpour Your
                    grace of healing to us – to the Church
                    and to the whole world –

                (8) R. See Jesus now being whipped at
                    the pillar –
                    Jesus suffered for our sins –
                    Jesus loves us so much
                    Jesus allowed Himself to be
                        beaten for our sins.

                (9) R. Oh God, we worship You, we love You
                    and we adore You –

                Song: Give Me Your Heart of Jesus –
                        Give Me a heart like Yours –

                (10) R. We pray to tell God we thank Him
                    for all He gave to us –
                    We thank Jesus for suffering
                    for our sins –
                    We are sorry God –
                    Oh God hear our prayer –
                    We spread the Blood of Jesus on
                        this place, on the Church,
                        on our families and on the
                        whole world –

                We pray for Dan and Melanie, Margaret and Sonny,
                    Jack, Matthew, all the people
                    we have been praying for –

                Oh God, help us and hear our prayers,
                    please God –

                The Crowning with Thorns

                (1) Matthew 27: 27-31

Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus with them into the Praetorium and collected the whole cohort round him. And they stripped him and put a scarlet cloak round him, and having twisted some thorns into a crown they put this on his head and placed a reed in his right hand. To make fun of him they knelt to him saying, ‘Hail, king of the Jews!’ And they spat on him and took the reed and struck him on the head with it. And when they had finished making fun of him, they took off the cloak and dressed him in his own clothes and led him away to crucifixion.

                R. We pray all prayers to the Father,
                in union with Jesus in the Holy
                Sacrifice of the Mass going on
                around the world in the Holy Spirit –
                through the powerful intercession
                of Our Lady of Clearwater
                with all the angels and saints               

                This is from the Rosary
                    March 5, 2015
                    transcribed from a live
                    recording.

                (3) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary

R. Dear God the Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus, in the Holy Spirit, with all the angels and saints and the souls in purgatory, we come in one mind and one heart and we ask you to please help us in all of our needs. We ask that the Blood of Jesus is spread on all these people, consecrate their hearts, cast the devil, ask for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Pray to the Father, in the name of Jesus, united to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, pray through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Clearwater, and we pray united with all the people that are listening on the radio. I want to pray for some special people, for Eva, for Sonny, especially for Melanie and Dan, and the people that ask us to pray for them, a little boy named Jack, and another little boy named Matthew, that are just like so heroic, in their sicknesses. Pray for Amanda, and all the people that are suffering with that fear of their health, and knowing that they are completely dependent on God, and we pray, of course, for the priests, the Church and the world, and the people, consecrate all their hearts, cast the devil far away, and ask for a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We pray that we will be united in body, mind and soul and that God will outpour His grace on all of our members and donors and leaders, and all of their families, and anybody that  touches their families. You know that since July 5, 1994 that is 21 years, I have been doing the 5ths,  it's a lot of years, and doing them every month like this. And in all the years that God, has called me to do these 5ths, I can say that He has said that He outpours His grace, especially on the 5ths, and He gave us this building, it is a great gift that He has given to us. And the Blessed Mother appeared on this building for 7 1/2 years for everybody to see, and I don't think ever in the history of the world, was there such a beautiful image of the Blessed Mother like she appeared here. She would wear her different little dresses, as the sun hit her in different ways. When we used to pray the 5ths outside, there was just this, it was hard to explain, it was just a presence that I knew out there. And even after her image head got knocked off, then there was, the face of Jesus, that was out there. I could really feel, you know that, that special gift how God was really close to us, as we prayed. There has been a lot of prayers that have gone out of Shepherds of Christ, the first 5th that Mary appeared to me, which was July 5th, 1994, and I was a lot younger then, and so I have kind of grown old with the 5ths. And today, of course, is no less special in the mind of God. It stands for the 5 blasphemies and the 5 wounds of Christ, which is what They told me in the beginning. Now lets all think about the 5 wounds of Christ because we are in Lent right now. Why did God want us to venerate 5 wounds? Think of the wounds that were all over the entire body of Christ, the wounds that were the bashing to His head. You know we can hit our head on the wall in the dark, and if we don't put some ice on it, we might end up having a knot on our head. You know, there was nobody there to put ice on the head of Jesus, when they pounded the thorns into His head. There was nobody there to hold the hand of Jesus, as I'm sure, there was splinters all over His hands and gashes, from the way that the men beat Him and made Him carry His cross. How about the feet of Jesus, that carried this wounded, whipped, bloodied body, with the cross on His back, ladden with our sins. When we look in pride and we say to ourselves, 'I did nothing!' And we know in our hearts,  we must really look at ourselves honestly, if our pride is growing more and more. We need humility. Humility needs to blossom so people can see us as a witness for Christ. The 5 wounds of Christ, and so they pounded into His head a crown of thorns. God has called us to be more and more in His image and likeness, and to be more and more in His image and likeness, God is love. God is the source of love, the Divine Almighty God. How can we be unloving when God is so good to us. God has given us all these years on this earth, to learn how to love Him and to love others as ourselves. And if we pass that test, it's like going to school, like I went to college and I taught college, and you end up giving the people material and then at the end, then they have to take a test, if they don't go to the classes, if they don't do the work, they will fail the test. Well, the test that God is giving to us, is the test, in the question that we will have on the day of judgment, which is, did you love God with your whole heart, your whole soul, your whole being and love your neighbor as yourselves. Have we reported for the classes that God has given to us, day after day, in dealing with ourselves and others in the world, in trying to be witnesses, that are growing more and more, in the image and likeness of God. And I look at the Blue Books that He has given to me, the writings that He has given to me since 1991, when He first showed me His heart, which used to be on the first cover on the Blue Book II. And it was a Heart that was on fire for love of us. And the lessons that we need to learn in His school, are the lessons of love. They are lessons of unity. They are the lessons of having that imprint, more and more, of the Divine Creator on our hearts, where He has given to us the Blessed Mother, who appeared in this image on the building here, to teach us how important she is in our spiritual life. What is the lesson that Mary, the Mother of God, is teaching us, when she appears on this building, that her heart is a heart that we can go to, because she was conceived without sin.

                (4) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary continues

R. And it says in John, if we go through our whole life and say, I'm not a sinner, then we are liars. Lent is a time to go into the desert and to say to ourselves – I am a sinner. I am prideful. God, give me the increase of faith, of believing in You, not in myself – in believing in You more, of imprinting Yourself on my soul, more and more, as I increase in the virtues of faith, hope and love. There's work to be done. This is the biggest school that there is, of our life, and many of us, were given that entrance into His school as babies, in baptism. And if it wasn't as babies in baptism, some where down the line, if we were baptized, we were given such a gift in baptism, to share in His Divine life, to be on our way, more and more, in knowing God, as God reveals Himself to us, as God gives us this elevated capacity to know and to love. And the world is always flinging before our eyes, their wares, and satan comes in and he wants us to think about ourselves, in pride, in anger, and jealousy, and all this kind of stuff. And do you see Christ, like I see Him, with a crown of thorns on His head, with blood running down into His eyes and in His ears, because of our sins of pride, because of our sins of trying to take what is wrong and tell us that it is right, when it was just as easy, to be other focused, instead of self-focused, and selfish, which led to division, rather than unity, building relationship with others, so that the world would see our love and they would know that we are Christians by our love. The choice is ours, because we do have a free will. We can look at the 5 wounds of Christ, and we look at His crowned head, and say to ourselves, 'Well, I didn't know, I am without sin' or we can say 'Oh, my God I am sorry for I have sinned.' This is what Lent is about, to look at the hands of Christ, with the nails and to think of how many times we were grabbing out for our selfish interest, rather than asking ourselves, what would Jesus want me to do here. How is He calling me to give my hands, to open up my heart to others? Where have our feet taken us, in serving our own selfish interest, instead of seeing the feet of Jesus, on the cross? Can you imagine how awful it was for Christ to hang on that Cross by two nails, after being beaten?

                (5) Excerpt from March 5, 2015 Rosary continues

R. You know yesterday, we had a trying day and I was really worn out just because we had to do a lot of stuff. Can you imagine how worn out Christ was, after going through the whipping at the pillar, the crowning with thorns, the carrying of the cross, and then for them to hang Him as a spectacle in front of the world, and He endured it all. Because He wants us to know how much He loves us and He has given us all these Blue Book writings. He is calling us to be in the front of the class, saying 'I report for class today, Jesus, to help build Your Kingdom, to love my neighbor as myself. To have You in my heart day and night, Jesus. That you are never far from my heart.' Because that is the 5th wound. It is the piercing of the Heart of Jesus, because He said over and over again, in Blue Book II, His greatest agony was not the agony that He suffered on the cross, but the agony that He suffered for those that treat Him so dishonorable, rejecting Him after all He has given. God is Divine. God is Supreme. God gives us a sharing in His life in baptism and our knowing and loving capacity is elevated.

                (9) Sing: Refrain  "I am the Bread of Life"

                (10) 2 Corinthians 5: 17-21

So for anyone who is in Christ, there is a new creation: the old order is gone and a new being is there to see. It is all God's work; he reconciled us to himself through Christ and he gave us the ministry of reconciliation. I mean, God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not holding anyone's faults against them, but entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.

    So we are ambassadors for Christ; it is as though God were urging you through us, and in the name of Christ we appeal to you to be reconciled to God. For our sake he made the sinless one a victim for sin, so that in him we might become the uprightness of God.

 

The Crucifixion 

(1) Luke 15: 1-3, 11-32

The tax collectors and sinners, however, were all crowding round to listen to him, and the Pharisees and scribes complained saying, ‘This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.’ So he told them this parable:

Then he said, ‘There was a man who had two sons. The younger one said to his father, "Father, let me have the share of the estate that will come to me," So the father divided the property between them. A few days later, the younger son got together everything he had and left for a distant country where he squandered his money on a life of debauchery.

When he had spent it all, that country experienced a severe famine, and now he began to feel the pinch; so he hired himself out to one of the local inhabitants who put him on his farm to feed the pigs. And he would willingly have filled himself with the husks the pigs were eating but no one would let him have them. Then he came to his senses and said, "How many of my father’s hired men have all the food they want and more, and here am I dying of hunger! I will leave this place and go to my father and say: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you; I no longer deserve to be called your son; treat me as one of your hired men." So he left the place and went back to his father.

‘While he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was moved with pity. He ran to the boy, clasped him in his arms and kissed him. Then his son said, : "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son." But the father said to his servants, "Quick! Bring out the best robe and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the calf we have been fattening and kill it; we will celebrate by having a feast, because this son of mine was dead and has come back to life; he was lost and is found." And they began to celebrate.

‘Now the elder son was out in the fields, and on his way back, as he drew near the house, he could hear music and dancing. Calling one of the servants he asked what it was all about. The servant told him, "Your brother has come, and your father has killed the calf we had been fattening because he has got him back safe and sound." He was angry then and refused to go in, and His father came out and began to urge him to come in; but he retorted to his father, "All these years I have slaved for you and never once disobeyed any orders of yours, yet you never offered me so much as a kid for me to celebrate with my friends. But, for this son of yours, when he comes back after swallowing up your property—he and his loose women—you kill the calf we have been fattening.

‘The father said, "My son, you are with me always and all I have is yours. But it was only right we should celebrate and rejoice, because your brother here was dead and has come to life; he was lost and is found.’

(2) Sing: China Song

(3) R. When the blood is on the door –
    he will pass over the home –
 

Exodus 12: 21-27

Injunctions relating to the Passover

Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, ‘Go and choose a lamb or kid for your families, and kill the Passover victim. Then take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and with the blood from the basin touch the lintel and both door–posts; then let none of you venture out of the house till morning. Then, when Yahweh goes through Egypt to strike it, and sees the blood on the lintel and on both door–posts, he will pass over the door and not allow the Destroyer to enter your homes and strike. You will observe this as a decree binding you and your children for all time, and when you have entered the country which Yahweh will give you, as he has promised, you will observe this ritual. And when your children ask you, "What does this ritual mean?" you will tell them, "It is the Passover sacrifice in honour of Yahweh who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt, and struck Egypt but spared our houses." ’ And the people bowed in worship. The Israelites then went away and did as Yahweh had ordered Moses and Aaron.


(4) Exodus 24: 3-8

Moses went and told the people all Yahweh's words and all the laws, and all the people answered with one voice, 'All the words Yahweh has spoken we will carry out!' Moses put all Yahweh's words into writing, and early next morning he built an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve standing-stones for the twelve tribes of Israel. Then he sent certain young Israelites to offer burnt offerings and sacrifice bullocks to Yahweh as communion sacrifices. Moses then took half the blood and put it into basins, and the other half he sprinkled on the altar. Then, taking the Book of the Covenant, he read it to the listening people, who then said, 'We shall do everything that Yahweh has said; we shall obey.' Moses than took the blood and sprinkled it over the people saying, 'This is the blood of the covenant which Yahweh has made with you, entailing all these stipulations.'


(5) Hebrews 9: 11-15

    But now Christ has come, as the high priest of all the blessings which were to come. He has passed through the greater, the more perfect tent, not made by human hands, that is, not of this created order; and he has entered the sanctuary once and for all, taking with him not the blood of goats and bull calves, but his own blood, having won an eternal redemption. The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkled on those who have incurred defilement, may restore their bodily purity. How much more will the blood of Christ, who offered himself, blameless as he was, to God through the eternal Spirit, purify our conscience from dead actions so that we can worship the living God.

Christ seals the new covenant with his blood

This makes him the mediator of a new covenant, so that, now that a death has occurred to redeem the sins committed under an earlier covenant, those who have been called to an eternal inheritance may receive the promise.


(6) A Prayer before the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass

    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.

    Let me unite with Him more, that I may more deeply love Him. 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.

    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.

-Mass Book, December 27, 1995

(7) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Opening Prayer

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dear Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus, in union with Him in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, in the Holy Spirit. We come to You united to the Child Jesus of Good Health and the Infant of Prague. We come to You in the perfect, sinless heart of Our Mother Mary, asking her powerful intercession, uniting ourselves to her holy tears. We come to You united to all the angels and saints, and the souls in purgatory.

(8) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Prayer for Holy Spirit

We pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on us, to be baptized by the Holy Spirit, that He will descend mightily on us as He did on the Apostles at Pentecost. That the Holy Spirit will transform us from fear to fearlessness and that He will give us courage to do all the Father is asking of us to help bring about the Reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart. We pray for the Holy Spirit to descend mightily on the Jesuits and the Poor Clares on the Shepherds of Christ leaders and members and on the whole Body of Christ and the world.

(9) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Protection by the Blood of Jesus

We pray that the Blood of Jesus will be spread on us, everyone in our families, and the Shepherds of Christ Movement, that we will be able to move steadfastly ahead and be protected from the evil one.

(10) From the Holy Spirit Novena

Healing

We pray for healing in body, mind, and soul and generational healing in ourselves, in all members in our families, and in all members of the Shepherds of Christ Movement, the Jesuit Community, the Poor Clares, the Body of Christ, and the world.
